Chapter 130 The Great Expedition Begins
Lucas left behind one miracle after another on Earth.
Just as he was preparing to leave this homeland and head to the next civilization, that long-silent system prompt suddenly rang out without warning.
"Ding —"
"Host detected to have performed excellently in this Holy War."
"Settling ..."
A blue light screen slowly unfolded before Lucas’s eyes.
"World Conquest Progress: 52%"
"Conquest Progress: 53%"
"Tip: World Conquest progress has exceeded 50%, the host has unlocked the permission to travel freely."
"From this moment on, the host can travel freely between the two worlds."
Lucas raised an eyebrow.
"Brother System is finally alive!"
Free travel? This was an unexpected surprise.
Immediately after, a string of prompts appeared.
"Note: When the Conquest progress reaches 100%, the Great Expedition will automatically be enabled. At that time, the host will be able to freely open parallel wormholes and conquer the heavens and myriad worlds at will."
"Every world conquered will yield a reward."
"Additional Permission: After the host returns to The Boys World, they can freely control the flow of time in the invincible world."
Lucas looked at these lines of text, his eyes narrowing slowly.
The Era of the Great Expedition?
Conquest?
Did he happen to pick up a Darkseid system?
This is absolutely classic Darkseid behavior!
Lucas looked at the note below: freely controlling the flow of time in a world. What kind of sneaky behavior... but this also meant he could use the invincible world as a Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Now he had plenty of motivation!
Lucas missed The Boys World a bit, but he wasn’t in a hurry to go back.
"Take some things first."
Lucas turned around and flew back to the City of a Thousand Stars; he wanted to pack up the results of these twenty years first.
...
In the past twenty years, Lucas hadn’t been idle.
Besides establishing an empire, he had done one other significant thing: he utilized the alien civilizations with the most advanced biotechnology within the interstellar alliance to thoroughly improve the Compound V he carried with him.
It didn’t even take twenty years.
In just a few months, those top-tier civilizations overcame all the flaws of Compound V.
The improved Compound V no longer had any side effects, nor did it have that life-or-death success rate, and the superpowers it catalyzed were far more powerful than the original version.
It could be said that everyone who injected it could surpass Homelander.
Lucas even had them build several specialized production workshops to mass-produce this improved version of Compound V.
Then, borrowing technology from other civilizations, he researched space compression technology and created storage bracelets that only recognized his genetic sequence, directly packing up the production workshops.
Temporary Compound V, take it all!
Permanent Compound V, take it all!
This is what you call eating well!
After doing all this, Lucas nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, pause here for now. Going back to relax a bit. I tell you, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Homelander, I actually miss him!" Lucas looked at the system.
"Return?"
"Let’s go, let’s go, hurry up!"
In the next instant, the world spun before his eyes, a great force enveloped him, and the City of a Thousand Stars disappeared. The invincible world was in a state of time stagnation, though this time Lucas could see a corner of that world.
Belesa and the others looked as if they were stuck in a static field, motionless.
...
Lucas looked into the room.
He was still lying on the soft bed, with warm, fragrant bodies in his arms, and outside the window, the neon lights of Manhattan never slept.
It was as if Lucas had never left.
But his body and consciousness had long been tempered over a hundred years, though it made no difference to The Boys World.
"Mmm..." Starlight in his arms mumbled, subconsciously rubbing against his chest.
The system popped up a prompt again.
"Summary of Holy War Major Events"
"Event 1: Host traveled to The Great Purge and stood out among the slaughter of billions of Viltrumite."
"Event 2: Host conquered the infamous Conquest."
"Event 3: Host gathered followers in the name of mercy and gained the title of Great."
"Event 4: Natural disaster struck; the host turned the tide and rescued tens of thousands of sparks from the crisis of genocide."
"Event 5: Host defeated the Great Regent Thragg, broke away from the old empire, established the new Viltrumite Empire, and founded the interstellar alliance."
"Combat Rating: S+"
"System Judgment: During this Holy War, the host displayed command ability and growth potential far exceeding expectations."
Lucas looked at this list of summaries, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
With this rating, it looked like rewards were about to be distributed!
The higher the rating, the higher the reward.
Immediately after, a brand-new module slowly emerged on the light screen.
"To reward the host, a reward module × 1 is issued"
"System Judgment: Before the Great Expedition begins, the host needs a truly handy weapon."
"Weapon forging module now provided"
"Tip: The core materials required for forging must be collected by the host. To this end, the system will provide several short opportunities for travel so the host can go to the corresponding small worlds to collect materials."
Lucas’s eyes lit up, and he clicked on that module.
Brother System knows how to install mods!
Classy!
On the light screen, three mysterious glowing silhouettes appeared, and under each silhouette was an ancient and profound motto.
"First Part — Spear of Indestructibility"
"Motto: With stars as the guide and divine power as the bone, the wielder’s spear point shall break all things, its body forever solid, never to be destroyed."
...
"Second Part — World Purifying Mother Box"
"Motto: All things return to one, all ones return to the source. When the box opens, it can purify, reshape, and glimpse the source of life."
...
"Third Part — Grasp of Immortality"
"Motto: Death is rebirth; every destruction will breed even greater power. Its body grows infinitely, immortal forever."
Lucas looked at these three parts and the three domineering mottos, slowly clicking his tongue.
Good heavens!
So domineering, it’s insane!
Can you give some specific hints?
Riddlers get out of The Boys World!
Next to the three parts, a small line of text was attached.
"Tip: The three parts above each correspond to an independent travel opportunity."
Lucas committed all of this to memory.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry to go to those small worlds to collect materials immediately.
Even a workhorse needs rest; he had been on a business trip for over a hundred years, couldn’t he enjoy himself now?
Keep going, keep partying!
"Sleep, sleep!"
Lucas slowly closed the light screen.
"Didn’t we just finish?" Maeve frowned in her sleep.
"Sleep my ass, get up and party!"
Lucas didn’t care about that.
"Go find Annie, I have a public appearance tomorrow!" Maeve turned away.
Good opportunity!
One night passed without incident...
Midtown Apartment was destined to be a scene of romance once again.
...
The next morning.
Lucas returned to Vought Tower refreshed and directly asked someone to invite Ashley Barrett over.
