I, the Supreme Overlord, Start by Enslaving the Zerg Queen

Chapter 90: Finally Acquiring Precious Materials

Passing through the illusory portal and returning to Zerg territory, Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had managed to stay calm and adapt quickly during the battle in Succubus Castle, he still felt a bit of lingering fear after it ended.

The strength displayed by the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was definitely not just at the fifth tier.

Without Rose's assistance, Charles could not even ensure his victory in the battle against the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.

"It seems I have to be even more cautious in my future actions. Every race in the Otherworld Continent has its own secrets. I can't underestimate any of them."

Charles couldn't help but utter a sigh of emotion.

He was about to leave his territory to search for the precious Relic and other materials he needed.

If he continued to underestimate other races after this, he would certainly encounter even more dangers.

As soon as Charles returned to his territory, Catherine found him right away.

"Master, where have you been just now? I've already taken care of most of the matters in the territory for you. Is there anything else that you need to personally look over?"

Catherine was originally designated by Charles to manage his territory in Serene Forest. Therefore, in order to help Catherine get accustomed to the management work, Charles had specifically let her start handling the affairs of the territory in advance.

Charles shook his head.

"I have absolute trust in you. Since you've made decisions, follow through with them. After I leave the territory, all matters within it will be up to you to judge. So, you must have some confidence in yourself."

Charles's words deeply moved Catherine.

Catherine originally thought that Charles intended to abandon her by leaving her in the territory.

After all, Charles would be taking Medusa and Little Green with him when he left, leaving only Catherine behind in the territory. Naturally, this made Catherine think twice.

Catherine had actually overlooked that Eve also needed to stay in the territory.

However, considering Catherine had always been around Charles, her concerns were understandable.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely manage everything in the territory well. I will make sure you have no worries during your upcoming actions."

Catherine's response deeply moved Charles.

Charles gently touched Catherine's face and said in a warm tone, "You don't need to worry too much. I won't actually be away for too long. As soon as I find the items I need, I will return to the territory as quickly as possible."

A slight blush appeared on Catherine's face. She nodded and didn't continue speaking.

Just as Charles and Catherine were quietly spending time together, Charles suddenly received a message from Rose.

[Rose: You completed the task beautifully! I didn't expect you to be able to severely injure the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels! I will soon deliver the materials you need.]

Contained within the box were all the precious materials that Charles required.

After carefully checking, Charles confirmed that none of the materials were missing and finally felt a bit relieved.

"Store all these materials away. When I return, we'll use them to create our new Zerg units together."

Charles didn't plan to use the materials right away.

Creating new units with these materials would take a considerable amount of time. Charles felt he didn't have that much time to waste, he needed to leave his territory and start his journey as soon as possible.

Catherine had a natural aversion to the box tainted with the aura of Succubus Castle that suddenly appeared in front of Charles. However, she still followed Charles's orders in the end.

"Master, do we need to keep this box? If not, we should destroy it. The aura on this box seems extremely evil."

Catherine didn't realize that the aura on the box was from Succubus Castle.

However, what Catherine said wasn't wrong, the aura from Succubus Castle was indeed very evil. After all, succubus are one of the abyssal races.

Charles shook his head.

"This box has some value to us. We might even gain more benefits from it in the future."

Although Charles didn't know what the future benefits might be, he felt that items tainted with the aura of Succubus Castle would be useful to him sooner or later.

"Just put it away for now. If you find the aura on this box particularly repulsive, place it somewhere far from you."

Since Charles had said this, Catherine had no reason to argue further.

With that, Charles arranged everything with Catherine and within the territory.

Next, he had to find Medusa and Little Green. He needed to explain the potential dangers of the upcoming journey to them.

Only by doing this could Medusa and Little Green decide for themselves whether they wanted to accompany him on the journey.

However, before seeking out Medusa and Little Green, he needed to store all the precious materials with Catherine. Some of these materials had significant negative effects.

In the deepest recesses of the territory, Catherine and Charles meticulously established a hidden compartment. Catherine carefully placed the precious materials with negative effects into this secluded space.

"By doing this, the adverse effects of these materials won't impact the territory." Catherine remarked with a smile after they had completed the placement.

Charles nodded in agreement, then removed the ring from his finger and placed it into Catherine's hand.

"If the territory encounters danger after my departure, put this ring on your finger immediately. This way, I will be promptly informed."

"Bear in mind, only wear this ring if the territory is in grave peril. Once you put on this ring, I will undoubtedly return."

Charles's words deeply moved Catherine.

Catherine nodded emphatically and carefully tucked the ring away.
