Chapter 674: Deal with Chronos Alliance

30 hours later...

"It’s finally over!" Nash muttered boredly.

[Eleventh Trial Complete!]

[Time: 30 hours]

[Rating: SSS]

[Reward: SSS Rock Affinity enhancement]

Feeling another one of his affinities reach SSS level, Nash felt refreshed.

"This is too long."

After dodging and running through the trial and seeing there wasn’t any change, Nash finally realized why the tower spirit was targeting him.

It seemed the act of destroying the core also caused damage to the tower.

The only question Nash had was why set a condition when it was harmful to it?

Unable to understand, Nash entered the next trial.

After 30 hours of running around, he didn’t feel any fatigue, just boredom.

Sometime in the trial, Nash even went to the runic space to deal with other matters.

With the [Combat Module System] controlling his body, he didn’t need to worry about anything.

Entering the twelfth trial, Nash noticed it was similar to before.

With an endless tide of mutated and some tier 6 void beasts, to pass the trial, he only needed to survive for 30 hours.

As for destroying the core, Nash had long forgotten about it.

Unless he could deal with a tier 7 powerhouse head-on, it was nothing more than a death wish.

"Hey, tower spirit, this trial is too long. Can you increase the difficulty and shorten the time?"

Unfortunately, it seemed the tower spirit was done giving him preferential treatment.

Dealing with the same monotonous void beasts, Nash could only wait.

"Tsk, I’ll just use this time to deduce the blueprint for the Dark Energy Purification Device," Nash thought.

Since there wasn’t any change besides the specific element of the void beasts, the [Combat Module System], which had just experienced the trial earlier, could fully handle it.

Not wanting to waste any time, Nash quickly entered his Runic Space to work.

About 9 days later...

[Seventeenth Trial Complete!]

[Time: 30 hours]

[Rating: SSS]

[Reward: SSS Cloud Affinity enhancement]

Completing another floor of trials, Nash paused in his deduction.

Looking at the time, he remembered the Altier Convention was about to end.

"It’s time to leave this place."

If he didn’t want to attract trouble, he could only go back with the rest.

Later, he could teleport back to the Altier Arcane Tower when he had time.

Not wanting to continue the trial, Nash told the tower spirit to take him out.

---

Arriving at the hall, Nash saw that the previous bustling market was a little desolate.

It seemed everyone had gone to try the trial, leaving the market empty.

With less than 10 hours left before it’s time to leave, they should be returning soon.

Suddenly, his mechanical guide gave him a message.

"Your Excellency, Ms. Hanna, the Deputy of the Chronos Alliance, told me to have you meet her before leaving."

"Oh? A message from Hanna? Did she tell you what she needed?" Nash asked with interest.

Although he was now an affiliated member of the Chronos Alliance, he was merely one of the countless leaders of a high-level team.

"There is no other message."

"Fine, lead the way. Let’s see what she needs."

---

Following the mechanical guide’s navigation, he reached the temporary base camp of the Chronos Alliance.

"Your Excellency Hanna. I’m Nash Navre. May I ask why you called upon me?"

"You are here." Hanna, who was busy processing various data, turned toward Nash in interest.

"I heard about your agreement with the Mechanical Race. I have to say, if you have such an epoch-making creation, you should have consulted us first," Hanna said bitterly.

Hearing the capability of the Dark Energy Purification Device in Nash’s plan, she could already imagine what changes it could bring.

If they could have priority for such a device, the Chronos Alliance would soar!

Unfortunately, the Mechanical Race beat them to it and already partnered up with Nash.

Now, to have the same device, they could only buy it in a queue.

"Please forgive me for my hindsight. Lord Primos was the first to approach me and propose the plan," Nash said apologetically.

In simple terms, the Chronos Alliance was too slow to move.

If they had paid attention to the Neon Battleship beforehand, they could have asked him first.

Unfortunately, with a hands-off leader like the Chronos Saint, managing such a large body by themselves was already overwhelming.

"Remember, we are the closest allies. If you need something, you can ask us. I also see that we are from the same Galactic Empire, which makes us even closer," Hanna chattered endlessly, wanting to get some benefits from Nash.

"I do have some requests..." Nash paused and thought.

Although he could give the Chronos Alliance priority without condition, doing so was against his creed.

"Oh? What is it that you need?" Hanna asked excitedly.

Since Nash needed something, she could also ask for something in return.

"We have a flawed Tier 8 Mother Core ship. I already bought the necessary materials to fix it; unfortunately, we don’t have scientists capable enough to repair it," Nash said.

If they were to fix it themselves, who knew how many decades it would take?

However, with the help of the Chronos Alliance, they could get it done in a matter of years or even months!

"Oh? Fixing a broken Tier 8 Mother Core ship? This is easy. I could deploy a few Tier 8 professionals to help you fix it," Hanna didn’t think much and agreed to help.

Being from the same galactic empire and now an allied team, Hanna didn’t think much of this favor.

In fact, the stronger the Neon Star Alliance is, the more it showed the might of the Chronos Alliance.

Perhaps they could even help keep the balance with those top-level teams.

"That’s great! In exchange, I could also give you priority to 10% of our production capacity for the Dark Energy Purification Device," Nash offered readily.

Although he could give more, it might make the Chronos Alliance a target more than it already was.

Giving 10% of their production capacity was just right, not too much and not too little.

"Hahaha, happy cooperation," Hanna smiled happily.

She didn’t expect Nash to be so easy to talk to.

With the priority for the Dark Purification Device in hand, they could open more dark gates more freely.
