Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

A massive pile of SoulStar Fragments, a mountain of other goods procured from War Rune storages, and a small stash of high-quality Artifacts ended up before Michael when he finished extracting everything from the Elite and Supreme Tekur.

He ignored the Artifacts and put them in his War Rune before his eyes fell upon the pile of SoulStar Fragments.

[The Supreme Soldiers are the real treasure troves here. They're walking treasures, quite literally!] Danny exclaimed.

Michael could only agree. He procured more SoulStar Fragments from the Supreme Soldier than three Elite provided. That was already a massive gain, but it was only a portion of the real treasures he'd found in the Supreme Tekur's War Rune storage.

"I cannot agree more. This is amazing!" Michael responded to his brother.

He stored some ores, a small batch of Superior Energy Stones, and other gods in his War Rune storage, leaving various tomes and scrolls behind.

After consuming the Supreme Tekur's Memory Orbs, Michael knew a lot more about the Tekur, their power, and why they were so powerful.

He searched through the scrolls and tomes until he picked up one tome and a scroll. The rest was stored in his War Rune with the other stuff.

"Who would have thought that the Tekur have such amazing techniques?" Michael murmured, his eyes glimmering brightly.

To be precise, the tome was Supreme Soul Technique, a portion of a Superior Soul Technique. It wasn't a complete technique, but it was enough to grasp what was required to unleash the fury of a Superior Class Soul Technique.

[That's very interesting!] Danny said as he read through the tome alongside Michael.

[To think that Superior Class Soul Techniques require more Soul Power than most Tekur can generate as Lesser Lifeforms. I expected the Supreme Tekur to unleash Superior Soul Techniques, but it looks like we encountered one who has difficulties using Soullife Arts alongside Soul Techniques.]

Michael said nothing. He continued reading the Superior Class Soul Technique, closing the tome and breathing deeply.

"I should have enough Soul Power to create Superior Class Soul Techniques for Extraction and Sacred Constitution. But I can only activate them once, for a short moment. Once I ascend to a Higher Lifeform, I'll be able to release them multiple times for a longer time," Michael mused to himself, the corner of his lips wrinkling into a faint smile, "Or I expand my territory and summon more than a million Summons before ascending to accumulate enough Soul Power to use the technique more than once."

[Do whatever you want. Either way, your territory will expand a lot before you ascend to a Higher Lifeform. Don't act like you won't have several settlements by the time your ascension begins] Danny grew impatient. [Now focus on the Soullife Arts!]

"Of course, you are more interested in the Soullife Arts. Do you even know what the Superior Soul Technique means?" Michael complained. "I can start creating Superior Class Soul Techniques for Higher Lifeforms once I procure more techniques to study. If used properly, I can help the powerhouses all over the Tritan Alliance either regain or expand their territories. They'll grow so much stronger than the–..."

[MICHAEL! Check the fucking Soullife Arts scroll! This is far more important than this lousy Superior Class Soul Technique!]

"Calm down a little, or I'll restrict your access to Spirit Eyes while I check the scroll," Michael responded right before expelling his brother.

[No! Wait wait wait. I'll calm down. Just…please…check the Soullife Arts scroll…]

Michael smiled lightly and did as requested. Danny regained access to Spirit Eyes right before Michael unfolded the scroll.

It was a Soullife Arts, a technique that consumed both Soul Energy and Lifeforce to provide the user with a massive physical boost. The Soullife Arts could only be used by beings with a lot of Soul Power, an incredibly high Soul Energy control, an enormous amount of Lifeforce, and unbending willpower.

Supreme Soldiers of the Tekur race were such beings. They possessed enough innate talent to activate and maintain the tortuous technique that burned through their Soul Energy and lifeforce rapidly to temporarily enhance their physical might.

The longer the technique was used, the more Soul Energy and lifeforce was consumed. Simultaneously, the aftereffect would be stronger as the Soullife Arts was used for a prolonged period. As long as the used has enough lifeforce and decent innate regeneration, the downsides of using Soullife Arts could be shortened. However, it would not be lovely, one way or another.

[That seems perfect for you and everyone about to die, either way. Anyone forced to fight someone stronger than them and unable to retreat should have a Soullife Arts. Those people, and you, would profit a lot from that technique. See. This is much better than the Superior Class Soul Technique!]

Danny was not wrong. He could replenish his Soul Power using SoulStar Fragments. As for his lifeforce…as long as he wasn't in a dead zone, Michael could recover his used-up lifeforce rather quickly.

It was interesting to note that all Supreme Soldiers of the Tekur race learned the same Foundation Break Soullife Arts. The Supreme Soldier he'd defeated was already older and had practiced the Foundation Break Soullife Arts longer than most Tekur. That was also the reason one of the three Memory Orbs Michael had extracted and consumed was solely about the Foundation Break Soullife Arts.

Even without having practiced the technique once, Michael knew that he could use it right away. He might not be as proficient as the Supreme Tekur, but the effect would be even better. After all, the Foundation Break Soullife Arts had been made for Higher Lifeforms. Lesser Lifeforms could only use the first stage without dying. However, Michael might be able to go further than them.

[Don't go overboard. The technique is impressive, but I really don't want you to die from using the second stage of Foundation Break just because you're confident that nothing will happen. Don't use it if it's not necessary…please!]

Danny sounded really excited before, but his voice turned somber and vigilant now that he read the section where all dangers and possible issues of Foundation Break had been listed.

"I will be fine. Either way, I don't think I need to push further than the first stage. At my current level, I might have to use the 1st Stage of Foundation Break to fight tens of Supreme Soldiers simultaneously, but that might already be overkill. I'm not sure. Maybe using Foundation Break alongside my Soultraits and Soul Techniques will tear my body apart. That wouldn't be the first time, though."

Michael joked a little with his brother, but he knew the situation was a bit additional severe than they'd first presumed. He learned a lot about the Tekur race's condition, including the issue they had with their collonized planets.

Michael knew that the Tekur race was on the way to colonize an entire galaxy. It was only a tiny galaxy, but that was enough to understand the power of the Tekur race. Fortunately, or unfortunately, in the Tekur race's case, they didn't manage to take control of the galaxy. They didn't realize that there were more powerful enemies in the galaxy and that the races living there were connected to powerful entities.

The Tekur not only missed their chance to colonize an entire galaxy, but they also lost control of several stellar systems. Trillions of Tekur had been killed in the last year, and far additional were about to follow. It was the first time in centuries that the Tekur race was defeated. Since their Queen ascended, they'd never been humiliated like this.

It was a great fortune for the Queen to interfere after the casualties surpassed what they could accept. The Tekur race managed to defend their planets after a while, but the landmasses they could colonize decreased drastically.

Now that their enemies had located them, the Tekur were restrained and forced to stay in their part of the galaxy. Their enemies used various means to ensure that they couldn't travel past their claimed territories, leaving only two places to expand their land.

One of the places I visited was the Origin Expanse. Since the Origin Expanse was considered an infinitely vast expanse, for nobody had recorded its edge or connection, it was the best place to go.

Unfortunately, not every Tekur manifested their War Rune early. Some were slower than others.

The Tekur race had to regrow their numbers quickly after losing so many important warriors, but they had issues finding enough living space outside the Origin Expanse.

Therefore, the Tekur race decided to concentrate more on the portals that lead to different parts of the universe, to the outskirts of the universe where weaker races were located. They believed that it would be no problem to overwhelm the weaker races as long as they deployed more Elite Soldiers and a bunch of Supreme Soldiers.

Michael believed the same. He was fairly sure that the sudden change in their tactic would be the demise of many races. However, the Tritan Alliance wouldn't fall victim to their tactics.

It was their misfortune to encounter Michael. If it had been anyone else, a single Supreme Soldier would have been enough to kill everyone.

But with Michael present? Never!
