Chapter 2017: Extreme focus often yields extreme results; those who regard "power" as a belief.
An ordinary group admin: "Are we preparing for a new war?"
An ordinary group owner said: "Although war is the fastest way to gain points, development is also very important, in addition to plundering."
An ordinary group owner said: "Especially now that your Asgard has been strengthened, with all its attributes enhanced."
An ordinary group owner: "Those places you've included in your Asgardian territory, aren't they also considered part of Asgard?"
Su Yunqing was not surprised to see Loki's message in the group.
War and plunder are indeed the fastest way to acquire a large number of points and resources in a short period of time, especially for Loki, who possesses Asgard's powerful military force, the ability to project power through the Rainbow Bridge, and is himself a top-tier powerhouse and ruler.
Su Yunqing isn't a good person either; she wouldn't stand on moral high ground to criticize Loki's choice.
In the myriad realms, the law of the jungle and the struggle for resources are the norm. Every member of the group is striving to become stronger in their own way, only their methods differ.
She was simply offering her suggestion.
The current "Asgard" has been significantly enhanced by the rewards from the chat group, with developmental attributes such as reproductive capacity, talent birth rate, environmental adaptability, and resource regeneration speed all being strengthened.
Those places that Loki conquered and brought under his rule should also be considered part of "Asgard" and could enjoy the benefits of this overall strengthening.
In this way, even if you just manage your existing territory well, rely on this overall improvement, slowly develop your land, accumulate resources, cultivate talents, and climb the technology tree or magic tree, in the long run, the benefits may not be lower than those from conquering other places.
Moreover, the chat group store contains knowledge systems from so many different worlds, from technology to magic, from cultivation to superpowers. Even just borrowing a part of it and integrating it into Asgard's existing system can bring about a qualitative change.
An Asgard with a continuously deepening foundation can provide as many points and resources as possible in the future, and it will be more sustainable than anything obtained through war and plunder.
The Great King of Asgard: "I am well aware of this."
The Great King of Asgard: "Prosperity, stability, and sustainable development are the foundation for the eternal existence of Asgard, and I have never neglected them."
The Great King of Asgard: "But all of that depends on 'having time'."
Loki said after seeing Su Yunqing's words.
The Great King of Asgard: "Development takes time, learning takes time, transformation takes time, and waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit takes an even longer time; and what I, and Asgard, lack most now is precisely time."
The Great King of Asgard: "The existence of chat groups means that we are all forced to look towards the wider universe."
The Great King of Asgard: "Tony goes without saying, and the other group members who received rewards won't stop either, and those transmigrators won't wait for us to slowly develop."
The Great King of Asgard: "If you are slow, you may be slow in every step. To achieve a higher percentage of missions, you must have greater strength."
The Great King of Asgard: "War can, in the fastest way, provide me and Asgard with the resources needed for development."
The Great King of Asgard: "The gains from conquering an advanced civilization may be equivalent to our efforts over hundreds of years."
The Great King of Asgard: "Peaceful development cannot cultivate warriors who are good at fighting, nor can it forge the true majesty of a king."
The Great King of Asgard: "Therefore, at this moment, war is necessary and a priority; use war to buy time and accumulate capital. Only after Asgard's foundation has become stronger through plunder will it be time to calm down, properly digest and manage the situation, and carry out long-term development."
As a ruler, Loki could not possibly be unaware of the importance of development; it's just that in his eyes, war was the priority.
First, accumulate and enhance your strength through efficient war plunder, creating a significant power gap between yourself and other members in the chat group, except for Bai Xuan, Rick, and others, before planning for long-term internal development.
As for governance, he, like Madara Uchiha and Esdeath, delegated the tasks to artificial intelligence; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to govern an empire spanning several planets with his own abilities.
The richest man in the city: "Shrug.jpg"
The richest man in the city said, "You're really eager to surpass us."
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "But what he said is true. The members in the chat group will not just watch others get stronger while they do nothing themselves."
The richest man in the country said: "But we have almost unlimited time, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
Tony shook his head as he looked at Loki's undisguised desire to become stronger faster.
Although there are indeed powerful individuals in the current transmigrator missions who are beyond their current strength, their numbers are still relatively small, and most of them are transmigrators who appeared through [world fusion].
Under normal circumstances, transmigrators do not possess such formidable strength.
Wanting to become stronger and thus gain a larger share of missions in the Transmigrator quests is not wrong in itself, but there's no need to be in such a rush.
After all, they have unlimited time, and with chat groups around, they don't need to worry about security. Even if they only get a little stronger every day, over countless years, it will accumulate into tremendous progress.
Loki sets too high a standard for himself.
The oldest god-slayer: "No, I agree with Loki's idea."
The oldest god-slayer: "The reason why the strong can become strong and climb to heights that are difficult for ordinary people to reach is because once they glimpse the possibility of going to a higher level, they will pursue it at all costs and without fear of any price!"
The oldest god-slayer: "This purest and most extreme thirst and obsession with power is the fundamental driving force that propels us to constantly surpass ourselves!"
The oldest god-slayer: "Waiting? Accumulating? Enjoying the process? Hmph, those are the excuses of the weak, the self-comfort of those with wavering wills!"
The oldest god-slayer: "Only those who become stronger, whose very instinct is ingrained in their bones and etched into their soul, who, upon seeing a path ahead, will not hesitate to forge ahead and seize it with all their might, even at the cost of their lives, deserve to be called true strongmen!"
The oldest god-slayer: "Those who rely on 'protection,' 'responsibility,' and 'emotion' as motivation to become stronger will unconsciously slow down their pace of becoming stronger when they believe that they have enough power to 'protect' what they cherish."
The oldest god-slayer: "He might even become addicted to the comforts of fragile emotions, forgetting the purity and sweetness of power itself!"
The oldest god-slayer: "That kind of mentality might make someone a 'hero' for a while, but it will never allow them to reach the true pinnacle!"
The oldest god-slayer: "Because such a path is limited, it is bound!"
The oldest god-slayer: "When your 'protection' no longer needs more power, or when your 'emotions' satisfy you and bring you to a stop, your path will come to an end!"
At this moment, Marquis Voban also spoke up, and unexpectedly agreed with Loki, who had been mocking him all along.
In his view, the motivation to become stronger for external purposes, such as protection, love, or responsibility, has an upper limit and may even become a shackle.
The only path to true supremacy is the insatiable pursuit of power itself, driven by an insatiable greed.
He agrees with Loki's ability to seize the opportunity to bridge and surpass the gap without hesitation, which is the mindset of a true strongman.
If he had the coordinates of different civilizations in his own world, he would have pursued them without hesitation and then plundered them.
The richest man in China: *shrugs*
The richest man in the lighthouse: "Okay, I admit, Marquis, in a way, you're right."
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Those who regard 'becoming stronger' as their only belief and are willing to give up everything for it are often able to go to more extremes in their pursuit of power and are more likely to reach heights that are unimaginable to ordinary people."
The richest man in China said: "Extreme focus often leads to extreme results, and this applies to many fields."
Tony did not refute the Marquis of Voban's point of view, because it was simply the truth.
Those who are "pure" enough to single-mindedly pursue power often possess terrifying explosive power and obsession.
The richest man in the lighthouse: "But, Marquis."
The richest man in the city said: "If the path to becoming stronger is nothing but tedious pain and obsessive greed, then what's the point of standing at the top in the end?"
The richest man in the country said: "On the road to becoming a strong person, you can't just look ahead and ignore the scenery along the way, can you?"
People like Marquis Voban, who regard "power" itself as their almost sole source of faith and pleasure, are among the very few.
The vast majority of people, including many powerful beings in the myriad realms, have a reason for becoming stronger.
For revenge, for protection, for change, or simply to escape a sense of powerlessness.
This reason may change over time, but it does exist and provides the initial and most enduring motivation.
A pure, unadulterated "desire" is more like a talent, or a trait.
They are rare and powerful, but they can also be lonely and even dangerous.
Because it doesn't care about anything else.
The oldest god-slayer: "Emotional entanglements will ultimately become weaknesses, and obsession with the process will only soften one's will." The oldest god-slayer: "True strength requires the ultimate desire and focus for power, stripped of all impurities!"
The oldest god-slayer: "Loneliness is nothing more than a necessary landscape on the way to the peak, or the frost that eliminates the weak."
Marquis Voban was clearly unmoved by Tony's words, just as he could not persuade Tony.
Every strong person is absolutely certain of their own will and will not be swayed in the slightest.
If his will is shaken, from the moment it is shaken, his will will no longer be able to match his own strength, and he will change from a strongman to a weakman.
At this moment, Tony and Marquis Voban are clearly strong individuals, so they will not be persuaded by others.
An ordinary group owner: "."
An ordinary group admin said, "There's no need to discuss this kind of thing."
An ordinary group owner said, "Besides, there's no such thing as getting stronger in chat groups these days."
An ordinary group owner said: "Is it because he saw someone who was originally weaker than him become stronger, and he desperately wanted to become stronger and suppress him again?"
An ordinary group owner said, "Only Luo Hao, the leader, has truly become stronger."
An ordinary group owner: "After joining the chat group, you will not use points to enhance your [Godslayer Rank] until you reach your limit."
Su Yunqing also commented on their conversation in the chat group.
Is it even necessary to argue about something like this?
Moreover, although the Marquis is a battle maniac and desperately wants to become stronger, what does he have to do with purity?
Is his current strength not related to Madara Uchiha, Shendu, or Loki at all? Without their stimulation, would Marquis Voban be so eager to become stronger?
In terms of pure passion, Master Luo Hao is the purest, a true martial arts fanatic.

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "Um, may I ask if the lottery function only includes items from the group members' world?"
Just then, Kaito Kuroba suddenly asked in the chat group.
The ordinary group admin: "Yeah, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this question?"
An ordinary group admin: "Don't tell me you want to participate in a lottery?"
Su Yunqing was taken aback by Kaito Kuroba's words, and then said with some surprise.
Are there still group members who want to participate in the lucky draw?
Even Kazuma Sato has made mistakes. Do you really think you're luckier than Kazuma Sato?
The Magician Under the Moonlight: "I guess I have that idea."
The Magician Under the Moonlight: "I gained some points from participating in the Transmigrator mission, but because I gained spatial abilities, I didn't know how to use the points, so I thought I'd try out the chat group function."
The Magician Under the Moonlight: "But the chance of failure for the [Enhancement Function] is too high, and I only recently gained spatial abilities for the [Enlightenment Function], which is still growing rapidly, so I don't need it."
The Magician Under the Moonlight: "Then I tried the [Fishing Function]."
An ordinary group admin: "What did you catch?"
The Magician Under the Moonlight: "A coin, the ordinary kind."
Kaito Kuroba said with a hint of helplessness.
Although he knew that the [fishing function] covered the entire universe, so there were definitely more useless things than useful things, but coins?
He doesn't need that level of "usefulness"!
An ordinary group admin: "Hahaha, that's normal."
An ordinary group owner said: "Someone even won a pole, although it came with dancing."
Su Yunqing laughed heartily when she saw what Kaito Kuroba had caught.
But Madara Uchiha wasn't so happy.
He had finally managed to forget something, but now, seeing Su Yunqing's words, he remembered it all again.
That was the shame of his life!
