Staring at the dimensional gate in front of him, Keith noticed that the green-colored dimensional gate was slowly turning blue, which indicated that it was almost Arcadia's time to invade Blue Star.
After that discovery, Keith flew away from the dimensional gate using his cloth wings and landed on the rooftop of a five-story building.
As if that was a signal, the awakened humans that were dispatched around the dimensional gate had raised their vigilance towards the dimensional gate.
Observing their actions, Keith nodded in satisfaction.
"It wasn't a mistake to establish the Awakened Guild and hire these cannon fodders."
"All of them had already signed a life and death contract so even if they die, then it's their fault for joining the Awakened Guild. Nowadays, it's quite easy to live life as long as you have money. Even human life can be bought with money."
"And since I don't lack money, I won't lack disposable fodders like them."
When Keith muttered those words, he noticed that the space near him had distorted and a pink-haired girl appeared beside him.
"Will you interfere in this battle?"
Sherry asked Keith and he shook his head in response.
"No, I won't. I have already used up my hole card so if a bunch of SSS-rank Awakened humans can't deal with the monsters from Arcadia, then even I will be helpless against it."
"Then, do you regret your decision? If you didn't save Putong Ren, you can still possess your hole card. After all, as you have said before, you don't lack subordinates. I bet you can find replacements for Putong Ren's position."
Hearing that question from Sherry, Keith shook his head again.
"My subordinates' life, although not as important as mine, is still valuable compared to those nobodies. Not to mention, I didn't lose much in this exchange. In exchange for using up my hole card, not only did I manage to save my subordinate, but I have also eliminated the threat of the human race."
"The cultivators that have lived up to this day had either chosen to live in seclusion or have joined the Awakened Guild. All of them had come to an agreement with me. If planet earth is in danger, then even those cultivators who lived in seclusion had to contribute or else I will eliminate them."
As soon as Keith had remembered Putong Ren, he had asked Sherry to teleport them back to China. After saving Putong Ren, Keith had dealt with the cultivators that weren't killed by his omni-attack.
Since those cultivators who had lived were considered "good" by Keith's standards, all of the cultivators had agreed to join Keith's organization and some had joined the Awakened Guild while a few remained in seclusion.
Good and evil, although omnipresent, relied on a matter of perspective.
And in Keith's perspective, "good" was those people who would follow his command and not become a threat to humanity.
So it was no wonder that those cultivators who had kept their life agreed to join Keith's organization. Those who would have disagreed with Keith despite not being evil had already died so Keith didn't have to worry about that problem.
That meant cultivators who had a good heart and wouldn't hesitate to help others but wouldn't follow Keith's command had already been killed by Keith. For him, he had no use for those disobedient people.
With Keith's First Order skill, he could easily kill all of the End Note users aside from Sherry and then offer the End Note to Sherry.
But for someone who valued entertainment above most, he would never do something easy as that.
For others, it might be a stupid decision to do. But Keith was confident that as long as those End Note users didn't reach the final stage, he guessed that even the third stage of End Note would be powerless against his First Order skill.
After all, the First Order kill was a U-grade skill. In other words, its power was comparable to a Universe Realm Initial Stage.
Keith couldn't estimate the true power of a Third Stage End Note but he could guess that it shouldn't be stronger than his First Order skill. Otherwise, it would be too cheating if the Third Stage End Note was stronger than his First Order skill.
With that thought in mind, Keith no longer cared about the End Notes since he was confident that with his power, he could deal with it as long as it wasn't a Final Stage End Note.
Not to mention, with the System Creator System, it would only be a matter of time before he surpasses Sherry's power.
Although Sherry was stronger than him since she was at X-rank while he was at SSS-rank, Keith was confident that he could surpass her as long as he was given enough time.
He had already checked and found out that his strength was becoming stronger as time passed by, albeit at a slow pace. The constant increase in his strength was due to Derick's training system.
As for Simon who possessed the Hero System, Keith had paid attention to him but he found out that aside from a steady increase in Simon's power due to his status as a hero, Simon hadn't received any quests after the first one.
There was a reason why Keith created the training system and the hero system. The purpose of the training system was to increase his body's base power. As for the hero system, it would be the system that would provide him with hero-related artifacts and skills.
Although the SSS-grade mana manipulation was quite powerful as it had high potential, Keith knew that having more skills was better than having fewer. His mana manipulation was too reliant on mana and due to that, he had to invent or create mana-related skills.
Keith wanted a skill that wasn't reliant on any energy that could easily be deprived of him such as his First Order skill and Eyes of Heaven skill.
Keith realized that with millions of awakened humans, it wasn't impossible for an awakened human to possess the skill that could negate any magic or mana-related skill. He had even encountered skills that could drain mana.
Because of that, Keith wanted to obtain skills that weren't reliant on mana to supplement that weakness of his.
His First Order skill seemed to use divine energy while his Eyes of Heaven used mental energy. Even with Keith's current knowledge, he didn't know how to increase his divine energy so he couldn't increase the duration of his First Order skill.
And from his observation using his Eyes of Heaven, Keith found out that he didn't have any divine energy in his body. His divine energy would only be present when he used his First Order skill.
That led him to question the price he had to pay for using the First Order skill. After all, it was almost impossible to use a skill without any energy cost especially when it was an overpowered skill such as the First Order skill.
Even his Eyes of Heaven skill would require him to expend mental energy. Overusing his Eyes of Heaven skill wouldn't lead to blindness, but it would cause him a headache.
While Keith was in deep thought as he thought of his skills as well as the potential system that he would create next, several minutes passed.
After several minutes have passed, the dimensional gate completely turned blue which alerted not only the awakened humans that stood guard near the dimensional gate but also Keith and Sherry who was watching from the sidelines.
A surge of mana was released from the dimensional gate but since most of the awakened humans were S-rank while the strongest were in SSS-rank, they weren't affected by the mana surge.
After a surge of mana was released, what came after were the monsters from Arcadia.
Keith had already publicized the planet name of the world behind the dimensional gate so all awakened humans knew that the monsters came from a world called "Arcadia".
And since he was the emperor of humanity as well as the higher-ups of the Awakened Guild were his subordinates, none questioned whether the name he chose was the true name of the world behind the dimensional gate or not.
The monsters that came out of the dimensional gate were the same as before.
A horde of goblins came out of the dimensional gate as they planned to invade planet earth. But even an F-rank awakened human could defeat a single goblin so for those S-rank awakened, it was an easy feat to eliminate those goblins. In fact, it was downright overkill as those S-rank awakened humans had started massacring the goblins.
After thousands of goblins were killed, the dimensional gate didn't turn green yet as it still maintained its blue color. In other words, that wasn't the end of the monster invasion.
As if in queue, goblins no longer came out of the dimensional gate.
This time, a horde of orcs invaded planet earth!
