Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1789 - 1003: Return to the Sky Wolf System! (Part 2)

Red-tailed typically enjoyed just a superficial edge in most situations.

Logistics and the information hub complied with Red-tailed's directives mainly due to respect for her role as Wolf Queen and the support from the Serpent Emperor.

Maybe on Earth, Red-tailed truly qualified as a supreme genius!

Yet within the immense expanse of the cosmos, her abilities ranked at most as mediocre or just scraping into elite status among cosmic prodigies.

Despite access to premium elite supplies and the immense fortune tied to her Wolf Queen position, Red-tailed, even after ages, had merely attained the summit of Heavenly Venerate.

One could argue that Red-tailed lacks the standing to operate independently now; she's slipped from the premier fighting tier in the Wolf Pack Civilization.

That's simply the current standard!

Su Lin experienced no deep sorrow or letdown,

since Cousin, Wolf Father and Wolf Mother, Wolf Sister, along with Xiao Hui and the Grey White Little Wolf, had already paved the way.

These core companions and nearest relatives, who once trailed him in forming the initial wolf pack structure, have all stepped back from the central arena of the Wolf Pack Civilization!

Certain aspects evolve with the passage of time!

However, that's the harsh truth!

Su Lin offered them plenty of chances and abundant elite resources, yet some elements defy compulsion.

Furthermore, this cosmic realm stretches endlessly, brimming with endless prodigies and oddities,

thus at times, when these old guards and family members shift to support roles, it might not prove entirely negative.

For one, until the Wolf Pack Civilization's core base gets penetrated, they remain shielded from danger.

Otherwise, should his Wolf Father, Wolf Mother, Wolf Sister, Cousin, Xiao Hui, or Red-tailed actually perish in external conflicts, Su Lin might plunge into a brief frenzy and spiral out of control, considering his present mental condition.

In the end, connections forged in vulnerability and deep-rooted family ties strike deepest at the soul.

Take "Nightmare," for instance, who stayed completely merciless yet voiced a last desire to atone to his original clan, right?

"Wolf Lord, the supplies delivered from key planets and kept on Earth can sustain the Wolf Pack Civilization's diverse forces through centuries of conflict. The blood provisions, when condensed into blood stones, total exceeding 53 trillion blood stones. Over 7 trillion fruits from ancestor-grade rare plants exist, plus more than 6 trillion realm fruit fruits, merely tens of millions at Heavenly Venerate tier, and beyond the Nine Heavens, just the Heavenly Leisure Lotus and Cedar King remain!"

Red-tailed began by detailing the stockpile in the logistics vault.

After all, supplies form the bedrock of every faction; possessing them unlocks endless possibilities.

Lacking supplies, their massive troops amount to mere figures on paper, hard to even rally into action.

Indeed, without basic sustenance to feed them or adequate provisions to uphold the Heavenly Boundary Mark, the Wolf Lord's renown alone could spur them briefly at best.

"Beyond supplies, what's the advancement in arms and gear at the central base, and how many uniform armors plus stellar energy arms has the development team crafted?"

Su Lin pressed on with his questions.

A subdued frost emanated from his presence,

causing the assembled hundreds of War Kings to look grave, despite their ignorance of the events.

"To the Wolf Lord, Lev's absence from the development team lately caused a slight delay in breakthroughs, though manufacturing hasn't lagged. Uniform armors follow set designs for bulk creation. So far, more than 870 billion units are ready, mainly allocated to the Star Battle God Army,

Past acquisitions like star energy cannons, star energy rays, and various lethal devices have seen partial upgrades by the development team, mounted on the Southern Territory Mountains and Earth's barriers, while the balance goes chiefly to the Star Battle God Army. Regarding replicated star energy cannons, backup mechs, unique nuclear source explosive bolts, and atomic-grade toxic fogs, their tested might proved lackluster, so most went to Direct Lineage One and Two."

Su Lin absorbed Red-tailed's briefing and gave a nod, turning to the remaining War Kings: "Good, now step up and detail the forces your own units command at present!"

Having vanished for six or seven millennia, Su Lin, while picking up from Qing Ming's words that the dispatched Charm Fox and Phantom Army might have hit troubles,

as a faction's head, needed full grasp of his available troops before assigning them.

The Wolf Pack Civilization now stands as a mighty force in the Star Nebula, overseeing innumerable trillions of clans and races, with armed might nearing quadrillion scale.

It's akin to tugging one strand and shifting the entire form,

given the billions of dependents relying on him and the Wolf Pack Civilization's safeguard.

Su Lin wouldn't, driven by fleeting rage or fury, endanger their well-being and existence.

Besides, upon his recent arrival, Su Lin skipped initial reviews of the Wolf Pack Civilization's might, instead tasking the Sand Fox to laboriously compile and collect every scrap on the Sea of Star Sand and the Phantom Army's latest actions through the night.

Yet the Sand Fox's all-night compilation cut off sharply centuries back.

The Sand Fox only knew that lately, the Charm Fox and Phantom Army had seized a cosmic passage over ten light-years in length.

This cosmic passage ran from the Sky Wolf System straight to the Heavenly Horse Stellar System.

En route, multiple minor stars, a lone wanderer star, and the full Heavenly Horse Stellar System fell under Charm Fox and Phantom Army dominion.

Frankly, the Charm Fox's swift takeover of such an enormous domain,

especially by diving in to pose as a Heavenly Horse, scheming across millennia, then sparking turmoil to ascend via clever tactics, was something Su Lin had foreseen.

Still, with silence on updates for centuries, coupled with Qing Ming's soul message, Su Lin sensed the Sea of Star Sand's bold scheme and taunt laid bare.

They seek not just to incite, but to wage full war against the Wolf Pack Civilization and claim supremacy over this twenty-plus light-year cosmic stretch!

A fresh colossal entity must endure myriad trials to solidify its place.

Should the Wolf Pack Civilization yield or falter here, their later pushes into the Star Nebula for tactics and rule would meet the gravest setback imaginable.

.....

Meanwhile, Tiffany at the Human Fortress served the elites as little more than a handy instrument. Unlike her helpless fellows, she ranked as disposable fodder the leaders could toss aside freely. After enduring the Arctic alongside Sander for ages with zero aid from the Human Fortress, Tiffany's spirit had turned icy. Seeing the chance to secure new Variant Species meat by aiding the Wolf Clan, Tiffany and Sander chose firmly in near unison.

Su Lin watched the pair's faces, detecting their sincere feelings that matched his goals. He could fairly deduce that the Ice Age had shattered human society badly. Offering a small boon now could secure their eternal devotion, a bargain Su Lin eagerly accepted. Amazement gleamed in his gaze.

Which mighty race could overpower the Mad Thunder Skyhawk so dominantly, then boldly haul its remains to the Land of Adventure.

Under the stunned stares of the Predators, a White Wolf with far greater might emerged. His velocity blurred beyond sight, just a hazy white streak dashing past, akin to a spectral phantom without form. When eyes refocused, the White Wolf perched on a far-off ridge, baying at the heavens, guiding the White Wolf Pack further into the Arctic...

This moment etched deeply into countless Predators' minds, an enduring memory of that gleaming silver-white White Wolf outline, forever etched beyond erasure.

For that White Wolf might rank as the mightiest energy wielder they'd witnessed across all creatures, boasting such immense strength they shunned nearing it, and those disdainful gazes surveying all below, instilling terror in their cores!
