It was no easy feat to find the commander within such a vast Red Alert army, a fact the monster understood all too well.
However, as a monster residing in a Level 7 spiritual energy gathering place, its mecha was no ordinary one. It possessed numerous functions, precisely what it needed at this moment. Finding the commander amidst the sea of people was not difficult; it merely required increasing the power of its detectors.
While this would consume a portion of its mecha's strength, it promised immense rewards. By using the detectors to locate the individual with the greatest energy signature among the group, it would have found the commander. It could then speak directly with them. If the commander refused cooperation and opted for annihilation, the monster wouldn't hesitate to sever ties and strike first, eliminating the commander. Without their leader, the massive army would naturally become leaderless and scatter. Facing the monster's formidable defenses, they would be unable to resist. As the saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king." Eliminating the commander would ensure its own safety.
With this thought, the mecha-type monster immediately boosted its mecha's power to its peak. There was no room for further enhancement. Its current defenses could withstand the attacks from the Red Alert army; neither laser weapons nor physical force could inflict any damage. Simultaneously, its detectors' power had significantly increased, allowing it to pinpoint the strongest energy signature in the vicinity.
Even if it couldn't maintain this state for long, finding the commander offered a chance for negotiation, a path to safety. Continuing to endure here until its energy depleted would mean certain death. Therefore, the monster immediately used its detectors to locate Qin Feng, the point of greatest energy.
Though that location was quite distant, the monster from the Level 7 spiritual energy gathering place had its own methods. Its strength was considerable, especially with its high-energy mecha. Such a distance would not consume too much of its energy; it simply needed to reach the destination quickly.
Thus, while fending off the surrounding Red Alert army's attacks, it sped towards Qin Feng's location. It was constantly attacked by the Red Alert army as it moved, but it did not stop or change its direction. Simultaneously, Qin Feng sensed the monster's every move. He knew it was heading towards him, and its objective was simple: to speak with him face-to-face, to forge an alliance, and to cooperate. The monster mistakenly believed that finding him meant finding its weakness, a naive assumption that made Qin Feng chuckle.
The monster's formidable defenses provided him with great insight. He knew that to defeat such a defensive monster, he could only win by continuously attacking and depleting its energy; a single decisive blow was impossible. However, such a monster also inflicted minimal damage on him, as all its power was dedicated to defense, leaving no room for offense. His Red Alert army would not suffer a single casualty. They only needed to continuously drain the monster's strength. Once its power faltered, he could easily achieve victory. If the monster had been offensive, it would have been far more troublesome, potentially causing significant damage and heavy casualties to his Red Alert army during a direct confrontation. But against a defensive monster, he had no such concerns.
With no damage, he incurred no losses. How could he possibly refuse such a win-win situation? Negotiating with the monster offered him no benefits, so he had no interest. However, seeing it rapidly approaching him, Qin Feng had no intention of fleeing. This was because he possessed immense appeal to the monster. If he fled, the monster would relentlessly pursue him. Even if his speed allowed him to evade the pursuit, he didn't want to waste energy. He had devised a method to quickly defeat the monster: by speaking with it and engaging it directly.
The negotiation was simple: the monster should surrender and be killed by him. Achieving this was not easy, but if the monster witnessed his true strength, it might make such a decision out of despair. And there was only one way to induce despair: to confront it head-on. Since the monster believed him to be the weakest link, and that killing him would resolve the current crisis, he merely needed to display his immense power. The monster would naturally lose its will to fight, potentially forcing it to surrender.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not leave. Doing so would waste a great deal of his time in defeating the monster, and time was precious to Qin Feng. He did not wish to waste it, so Qin Feng chose to wait here, allowing the monster to remain in place and endure the attacks of his Red Alert army. This way, the monster's power would deplete faster, and its defenses would crumble more quickly.
Thus, moments later, the monster arrived before Qin Feng. It observed Qin Feng's appearance and nodded, saying, "You are the commander of this vast army, aren't you? I should have known you were hiding somewhere. It's a pity I only discovered it now. The one who spoke to me earlier was acting under your command, wasn't he? I can sense your power is immense, far greater than theirs. And your appearance is completely different from theirs. Those guys all look identical, as if they were cast from the same mold. But you are vastly different. You must be their commander, and you created them, didn't you? It's truly incredible. An alien being capable of creating beings of the same race. Even gods cannot achieve this. How did you do it?"
Qin Feng ignored the question and calmly replied, "You didn't come all this way just to say these irrelevant things, did you? You are currently under intense ion pulse weapon attacks, and simultaneously subjected to powerful physical impacts. While your defenses are strong now, they won't last long. So, let's dispense with the pleasantries and state your purpose for seeking me out. As for how I can create beings of my own race, I will not tell you. Do you understand?"
