developing her dark powers for combat and plundering resources proves far more expedient than constructing.
To be candid, the pursuit of combat and supremacy is motivated by the desire for better sustenance and living conditions.
The drive to pillage is largely fueled by the quest for more dectible and abundant food.
Upon observing the attributes of this entity, her ambitions for infrastructure ignited shamefully, her thoughts consumed by visions of her fishing grounds.
She had previously fredded over the lack of caretakers for her aquatic domain, was this not a ready-made steward for her fishery.
It is worth noting that while the little sprites can venture into the water, they cannot remain submerged for long.
In her divine realm, there exists no sea, only rivers and lakes, which she herself had created, necessitating periodic infusions of the essence of water spirits to sustain the water source.
Consequently, her dominion lacks species proficient in aquatic environments.
What could be more fitting than employing a water deity to ten her fish? By managing her fishing ground effectively, she could attain the freedom of seafood.
Images of brazed fish, sweet and sour fish, pickled fish, fried yellow croker, steamed crabs, cheel laden lobsters, and garlic scallops flooded her mind, nearly causing her to salivate.
This being appeared exceptionally suitable for fish cultivation.
With a decisive click, Suzie Han chose to subjugate the entity presented by the system.
Chapter 71.
The Dark Knight's defection.
She intended to bring this fish home to raise it for her own sustenance.
Upon making her choice, a gentle light emanated from the blue crystal, casting its glow upon the distant mermaid as the system commenced its transformation.
Suzah's divine mark was to be inscribed upon this mermaid's divine essence, thus binding it as a divine servant.
The prior modifications conducted by the god of light on this mermaid had considerably eased the systems task.
Otherwise, the processes of capturing, refining, and erasing memories would have rendered divine servants exceedingly rare.
With a slurp, Suzie Han wiped away the drool that had escaped her lips.
A consequence of yearning for dectible food, she retrieved a white corn cob from her backpack and continued to gnaw on it.
As she chewed, her gaze wandered to the mermaid's tail, conjuring visions of the savory taste of braised fish.
It seemed that even the sweet white corn took on a different flavor in that moment.
Before she knew it, 10 days had slipped by.
Each day, Suzie Han meandered between the shattered divine realm and the dark island, scavenging for food, indulging in her meals, resting and observing the progress of the systems collection, offering commentary on the resources.
Time passed in a languid manner.
A source of mild irritation was the poor signal during the divine war.
Browsing forums and engaging in chats was often sporadic.
Fortunately, Suzi Han had no pressing need to contact friends.
On this particular day, she sat before a campfire.
Roasting an egg from a divine beast known as the Luan Zigwaming Phoenix.
Resting on her makeshift stove was this egg large enough to be cradled by a single person.
Using her divine power, she created a rounded opening at top the egg, allowing for the addition of soy sauce, salt, scallions, and cilantro for seasoning.
This divine beast's egg, having been examined by the system, had perished during the sacrificial assault launched by the god of light upon the world after Suzie Han's entry into the divine realm.
The attack had shattered the egg's soul, rendering it incapable of hatching.
Llan expressed regret, noting that had this creature survived, it would have made a magnificent mount.
Alas, it could only become a lifeless egg.
Suzie Han, however, held a different perspective.
In her eyes, this seemingly useless item was a prime ingredient.
Just as a chicken egg, whether capable of hatching or not, would not diminish its culinary delight, the same applied here.
Had it been alive, she might have hesitated, pondering whether to consume it, fearing the waste of a barbecue.
Everyone knew how tedious her recent diet of raw corn had become.
Some mundane grade ingredients pald in comparison to divine corn, and in this regard, she preferred the latter.
As she gazed into the flames, awaiting the gradual cooking of the divine beast's egg, the shell met the fire, emitting an enticing aroma.
Suzi Han carefully regulated the heat, observing as the egg's contents began to solidify, attentively anticipating the moment to sprinkle in the scallions.
Suddenly, Llon emerged from the light screen, alerting Suzi Han that a subordinate sought an audience.
Is there still a subordinate who hasn't departed? Sufien used.
After the war's conclusion, she had promptly activated the return teleportation array with the deep sea worm being the first to leave, followed by the three-headed hellhound and the plague doctor.
She had paid little mind to her subordinates, as it was customary for them to gradually return in the days that followed, calculating the time and quantity in 10 days.
Everyone should have returned to their respective homes.
Lonlan, please check the dness of the baked eggs.
Suzi Han instructed her system assistant.
Yay, leave it to Lon Lawn.
Suzie Han lifted the tent flap and stepped out of the portable ward tent she had inhabited for the past few days.
Outside, she was greeted by a familiar pair of siblings.
Suzi Han recognized them as the twin death knights, both demigods.
At that moment, the two death knights leading their skeletal steeds knelt before her on one knee.
Great Lord of the Endless Night, the most valiant commander in the starry seas, the divinity whose name resonates throughout the cosmos.
We, Ariel Archbald and Ellen Archald, beseech you.
A lengthy string of praises ensued.
Oh.
Susie Han felt a surge of excitement, her heart racing as she observed the proud siblings lowering their heads in earnest supplication for her favor.
It was truly exhilarating.
In that moment, she sensed her divine charisma surging, filling her with an extraordinary confidence were it not for the decorum expected of a deity.
She would have leapt in joy, celebrating with a jubilant dance soaring around her divine realm.
The notion that these two sought refuge with her.
To believe in her and follow her, willingly transforming from mercenaries to her devoted followers was immensely gratifying.
It brought her immense joy.
This war had indeed proven fortuitous.
Having already acquired a mermaid deity, she was also gaining new adherence.
What splendid fortune? Why was she so fortunate in her endeavors? Previously, she had been contemplating how to attract new followers with a primary focus on the well-aligned ghost all and death knights.
And now they had come to her.
Of course, she would accept them.
Just as she was about to eagerly agree, a system notification appeared before her.
Congratulations.
Deity Constant has received a request for allegiance from the race death knight.
Would you like to pay 7,192 divine coins to purchase the death knight card and transfer management rights of the death knight? Mm.
This substantial sum of divine coins momentarily halted Suzie Hanselation.
Indeed, she had celebrated too soon.
She pondered the adage that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
With such a splendid opportunity, the half-dine followers were not to be had without cost.
Before pledging allegiance to Suzi Hon, these followers were claimed by others, essentially belonging to the systems supreme deity.
While their faith was not as unwavering as that of the fairies, they were in a state of shallow belief towards the system.
They were created and nurtured by the system, their lives strictly bound to its ownership.
7192 divine coins was a considerable amount, especially with those digits involved.
Converting it into primal divine energy was nearly enough for Suz Han to level up.
Sensing her trepidation, the system presented an itemized bill.
It detailed the expenses incurred from gathering materials from the realms of foreign gods, processing those materials, transforming life, and nurturing it, proving itself not to be a malevolent system, but rather a worthy ally to every deity of Blue Star.
These divine coins merely cover the cost.
Were it not for the death knight's voluntary allegiance to her, the system would be reluctant to part with its nurtured subordinates, as they're the seeds destined to ascend to divinity and expand the pantheon of the blue star universe.
Sufia thoughtfully chapter 72.
Adorning oneself in green, she pondered not whether she should accept, but how she might amass divine currency.
The death knights were willing to forsake their freedom to follow her.
How could she, out of reluctance to spend, betray their allegiance? Before her arrival, Suzie Han had expended all the divine currency she had previously earned, and the only opportunity to acquire more lay in the victory of this recent war.
The mermaid god had been mentioned by the system as a desirable acquisition requiring significant expenditure.
Yet, Suzi Han had no intention of selling.
Capturing a divine being in the midst of refinement was a rare occurrence and parting with it would be regrettable.
However, relinquishing this opportunity to welcome the death knights would also be a pity.
Should she refuse, regret would surely follow.
As the saying goes, when one fails to act decisively.
