Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Maxwell didn't say anything more to Ye He, but stretched out his hand and began to control the mist that enveloped the black water.

He separated a drop of nearly one milliliter from the black water and put it into a small steam engine that Winnie pushed in.

"Boom!"

As Winnie started the steam engine, Ye He immediately noticed what Maxwell wanted him to see.

Considering the size and power of this small steam engine, the steam energy it outputs should not be very strong.

But those rapidly rotating axles were driving a huge flywheel to rotate and do work, and the output power far exceeded the rated power of the steam engine, which made Ye He's eyes become solemn.

"The output power has increased by more than 300%?! You mean, the energy of the Lord of Corruption still has a conceptual definition of Energy?"

"Yes," Maxwell looked at Ye He in surprise. He didn't expect that Ye He would know so much about this.

"As you can see, these substances ..."

"It should be the birth concept of "oil", my goodness..."

Ye He interrupted Maxwell's explanation and called out the essence of the [energy] symbolized by the black water.

Although oil, a basic energy source, is still far from being developed and utilized in this world, it is definitely a substance that already exists in this world.

The godhood of the Lord of Corruption should be Energy, and the definition of Energy naturally includes Oil.

That's why his divine power manifested itself in this black water-like form due to the influence of the world's largest energy deposits, namely oil reserves.

“Oil is…”

Maxwell couldn't keep up with Yehe's train of thought and was about to ask Yehe in detail what "oil" was?
But his question was interrupted again by another voice:

"What is oil? It should be a substance that already exists in this world. Tell me how to use it."

The space on one side suddenly shattered, causing Ekaterina's voice to come from the space on the other side of the Imperial Research Institute, interrupting Maxwell.

"A highly usable energy source..."

Ye He pointed at the black water floating in the air, and then said to Ekaterina who came to Maxwell's office:

“It is the corpses and remains of plants, the product of millions of years of decay and sedimentation under high pressure deep underground. It exists in every world and has high reserves. It can also be mined and used by humans.

As for how to use it... Oh, do you really want me to explain it so clearly?"

Ekaterina immediately glanced at Maxwell. The mayor, who had just dared to chat and laugh with Ye He, immediately raised his hands to Her Royal Highness the Princess, trying his best to show his harmlessness.

"It has nothing to do with him. I have to leave some work for your researchers, right?"

Ye He rarely helped Maxwell say something nice to Ekaterina, which made Ekaterina's eyes return to his face.

"The remains of plant corpses...corrupted deposits?"

"Yes, his current name is [Lord of Corruption]. It turns out that his name comes from this aspect of his calling. Haha, how interesting!"

Ye He found this feeling of unearthing the essence and truth of the gods very interesting.

The former true god of [Energy] died, but due to the emergence of steam power mixed with the power of monsters, the true god regained his power and revived.

As the representative of [energy], he occupied the birth concept of "oil", making him the fallen god of this era, [Lord of Corruption].

As a result, his power is manifested in the shape of "black water" of oil, and even has the same energy concept definition as oil.

Even... when he controlled the black water to attack, the high-pressure jet torrent state displayed by the black water should also have the concept of when oil is extracted from the ground and gushes out due to the high pressure release!
It turns out that nothing is "new", it is just the same form of expression of different things under the same concept.

"Humph."

Ye He's attitude made Ekaterina quite dissatisfied, but since it was Ye He, Ekaterina couldn't threaten him and could only turn around and leave.

It was not until the broken space healed again that Maxwell, who had been left aside for a long time, looked at Ye He awkwardly.

"As you can see."

Ye He shrugged at Maxwell:

"Thanks for helping me remember what this thing is, but she probably won't let us get involved any further."

"understand……"

Maxwell clenched his fist, and the mist quickly eliminated the remaining black water.

If Ye He was not lying, the specific energy represented by this black water, that is, the "oil" he mentioned, is really a mineral deposit.

There is no point in trying to use this black water to increase energy efficiency output and make profits.

Even though black water should be more convenient to use than oil and can be directly used in all types of steam engines currently owned by the Empire, it is still a dangerous source of pollution with the nature of demonic power.

It can only be cultivated with living people...

It would be fine if there was only black water in the world. Perhaps because of the effectiveness of black water, Catherine would allow them to develop and utilize it.

But there are relatively harmless alternatives to it...that don't need to be necessary.

"It's almost quiet outside, so let's leave it at that for today."

"I send you?"

"No need. I think you will be busier than me next, Mr. Mayor."

“It’s just my job.”

The hypocritical words ended here, and Ye He just left without causing any other trouble for Maxwell.

"Sir...you didn't have any conflicts...I didn't expect that."

Winnie shut down the small steam engine that was still running, and then played a harmless joke on Maxwell.

"It's just not the right time."

Maxwell glanced at the seat where Ye He had sat. No matter how "harmonious" the relationship between him and the priest seemed, it was only because neither of them was sure they could defeat the other.

"Pity……"

He looked at the small steam engine that was still emitting cooling steam, but there was not a trace of "regret" in his eyes.

If Ye He and Ekaterina could be persuaded to develop these black waters, it would be of great help to his plan.

But this is just a pleasant surprise. Even if it fails to accelerate the progress of the plan, at least it will not affect the original plan process.

Maxwell is now patient enough, very patient!

……

When Ye He returned to the Continental Hotel, the riots that swept the city were almost calmed, and the last source of pollution infected by black water had just been chopped to the ground by Bruce.

"My Lord! You are back..."

Rose and other employees of the Continental Hotel immediately came to Ye He's rescue. They looked at Ye He with lingering fear and complicated expressions in their eyes.

The monsters that went to the factory area caused heavy casualties. If Cassio hadn't appeared, they might have been wiped out. Then the water supply was cut off... After the water supply was cut off, dangerous infected bodies appeared out of nowhere...

On the first day of the new year, Saidawell was not at all peaceful. Many people who were celebrating the new year in the morning were now heartbroken because of the death of their family members.

The employees who saw and remembered Ye He's behavior sensed the crisis from his attitude in the morning and avoided many dangers in advance.

They admired Yehe's foresight, were in awe of Yehe's almost omniscient instructions, and were even more looking forward to Yehe telling them whether there would be any other unrest in the city in the future.

"Is today New Year's Day?"

Ye He suddenly asked Rose.

"Yes."

Rose answered Ye He's question without any hesitation, and then immediately pricked up her ears.

"Give everyone a month's salary and arrange at least a week's vacation. That will be my New Year's gift."

But what Ye He said next was not bad news.

He smiled at all the employees who looked surprised:
"Happy New Year! Don't worry, everyone should have a good rest."

"Yes!"*n
……

"Sir, is there really nothing going to happen next?"

After following Ye He back to Ye He's room on the top floor, Rose couldn't help but ask Ye He.

"Who knows? I'm not a prophet, but I don't see any threat at the moment."

Ye He sat down at his seat, then took out a golden card from the silver ripples and started playing with it.

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words."

Rose understood that Ye He meant that there should be no other problems in Sedwell at the moment, and the "recovery period" and time for recuperation that the city needed was about to arrive.

"A lot of monster users died, right?"

"……Yes."

"Then tell all the hotel managers on the mainland to spread the news together."

Ye He, who was playing with the Death Card, suddenly stopped and said to Rose:

“Let’s just say… I’m going to hold an auction of monster materials with the highest quality of level eight here at the Continental Hotel in Sedawell!

Only those with an admission ticket can enter. This admission ticket... you discuss with Hannah and come up with an actual price of more than 5000 pounds, and then give each person in charge ten free admission tickets.

As for how to sell the other tickets...how to make them popular among all the extraordinary people...I don't need to say more, right?"

"Understood! Do you have any other instructions?"

Rose actually didn't understand Ye He's thoughts.

If Ye He wanted to increase the number of monster users in Sedawell, the Continental Hotel had plenty of ways to do it and there was no need to launch such a formal auction.

But since Ye He has given the order, Rose will of course choose to obey and execute it first.

As for Ye He's true intention, Rose can go and experience it herself, or wait for Ye He to say it himself.

“Not for now. Oh, and send a notification to those women to change the mission information. Let them continue to guard their own territory and monitor the next strange monster user who comes to Cedarville.

If you find any guys from the Federation, report the information to me."

The face of a young man who was about the same age as Victor but whose strength was unfathomable appeared in Ye He's mind.

Moriarty...

How could this federal spy chief escape from Ekaterina's clutches? And took the Lord of Corruption with him?
Interesting!
Although Ye He did not try to stop Moriarty from leaving, he could see that Ekaterina did "take action".

But she still didn't stop Moriarty...

Ye He found it very interesting when Moriarty shouted "light prism" and when he and the Lord of Corruption left, the white light flashing from his body was very interesting!

Whether to use Moriarty to obtain a means to counter Ekaterina's spatial manipulation ability...that's another matter.

But Ye He just felt that this young man would not let go of the arrangements in the empire, especially in Sedavel.

He will definitely come back with new methods that are closer... and more capable of dealing with himself or Ekaterina!

Morgana, who went to the Federation, was entertained by Gracia and others, so it was estimated that she would not cause any trouble.

It seems that it is time for me to contact those women who accepted my "investment".

And this [Death Card] in my hand...

Ye He thought about it seriously, and finally gritted his teeth, ruthlessly opened the silver ripple and threw the [Death Card] in.

This time he did not let the self-disciplined boy store the card in the ripple space, but let it be swept away by the space-time turbulence that swept the entire ripple space.

Even though the personal panel says that this card will not have any function in this era and only exists as a souvenir.

But what happened to Galileo caused Ye He to reduce his definition of the "future" from at least fifty years to at least one month.

God knows how long it will take for the "future" to come, it could be a million years, or it could be the next second.

No matter what, holding the [Death Card] representing the "God of Death" is definitely not a good thing!
At least that's what Ye He's intuition told him.

So he finally chose to exile the [Death Card] and leave everything to fate.

When Ye He was thinking this, he suddenly heard some rustling noises coming from a window.

He looked up and saw Bartley coming back from outside.

It was so lively outside just now, it was not surprising that Bartlett went out to see what was going on.

The point is... a golden card is being held in Bartlet's mouth...

It exchanged glances with Ye He, then quickly ran to Ye He, put down the Death Card in its mouth, and said to Ye He:

"Ye He! This card... It suddenly appeared in front of me and slapped me in the face! There must be something wrong with this thing! Take a look at it quickly..."

Ye He stretched out his hand to signal Bartley to stay calm, then picked up the [Death Card] and looked at it, confirming that this was the card he had just exiled into the space-time turbulence in the ripple space.

Galileo, who was in the form of the Grim Reaper on the card, was still smiling faintly at Ye He...

Ok……

Again!
Opening the ripple space again, Ye He threw the card in again.

About ten seconds later, there was a knock on Ye He's door, and Rose, who had just gone out to complete the task assigned by Ye He, walked in.

Ye He saw the [Death Card] in her hand at a glance!
