The final outcome of the war would be vastly different.

  "Quantity is the advantage of the swarm, but the improvement in quality must also be taken seriously."

  "At the very least, they must be able to break through defenses; otherwise, sheer numbers alone are not enough to guarantee victory."

  Having made up his mind, William took out a blank sealing card and began refining the god domain that had already been swept clean by the swarm, sealing off some relatively barren lands.

  With the current production capacity of the swarm, only about a hundred million units could be produced per year. It was simply impossible to fill such a vast god domain in a short period. Instead of letting the excess space sit idle, it was better to sell off the extra land, exchange it for divine power, and use it to enhance the swarm—aiming to improve his strength as quickly as possible before the Global Tournament.

  By the time William had used up all his sealing cards, his god domain had been reduced to only 15 million square kilometers.

  His demigod spirit flickered, and he first entered the logistics office of the school on the Continent of Divine Exchange.

  After quickly dealing with the sealed terrain resource cards, he now had an additional 22.5 million divine power. Without lingering, William immediately teleported to the bloodline card market.

  On his second visit to this place, William was much more familiar with the process. He directly chose a grand and luxurious store and swiftly floated inside.

  Without wandering aimlessly, he went straight to one of the hall staff.

  "Excuse me, where is the high-value bloodline card exhibition area?"

  Now holding over 47 million divine power, William finally exuded the presence of a wealthy spender, ready to purchase top-tier bloodline cards.

  Upon hearing William’s inquiry, the staff member immediately responded with great enthusiasm, "The high-value bloodline card exhibition area is on the second floor. Please follow me."

  With a flick of the light ribbon in his hand, the staff member led William toward a massive light column in the center of the hall, which had a diameter of over three meters.

  As soon as William entered the light column's range, he felt a gentle force lifting him upwards.

  Within seconds, he had arrived at the second-floor exhibition hall.

  The layout here was no different from the first floor, but the number of visitors was significantly lower.

  After bringing William to the second floor, the staff member did not leave immediately. Instead, he considerately asked, "Would you like to browse on your own, or would you prefer me to accompany you and assist with selecting your desired items?"

  "A big company is indeed a big company—having demigods as staff members while maintaining such a high level of service." William clicked his tongue inwardly.

  One could infer the intense competition within this bloodline card market just by observing the service attitude of its staff.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  This was something he could only envy. Behind every one of these stores were professional logistical deities who had ignited their divine fire. Otherwise, there was simply no way to supply such a vast variety of bloodline cards.

  "You can accompany me. This way, I can ask questions whenever necessary."

  Putting aside other thoughts, William allowed the demigod staff member to guide him through the second-floor market.

  Along the way, whenever William’s gaze lingered on a particular bloodline card, the staff member beside him would promptly provide a detailed introduction of its effects.

  After several instances of this, the staff member had become adept at identifying the information William was most interested in, highlighting the key aspects accordingly.

  The attentive service was so thorough that William started feeling a little guilty.

  With such enthusiasm from the staff, he felt it would be inconsiderate not to purchase something after taking up so much of the guide's time.

  After all, this guide was also a demigod, and his salary here was probably quite generous. In fact, he might even be stronger than William himself.

  After spending nearly forty minutes browsing, William had almost covered the entire second floor.

  At this moment, the guide once again led William to a display stand.

  "What kind of bloodline card is this?" William's attention was drawn to the supernatural beast’s projection before him.

  This beast exhibited distinct dragon-like characteristics.

  It had a body over twenty meters long, a sleek and muscular frame, sharp claws on all four limbs, and an enormous wingspan.

  Its body was covered in large scales, with streaks of electricity coursing between the gaps, crackling across its surface.

  However, its head was bulky and bear-like, lacking both dragon horns and a dragon tail.

  It looked like a downsized dragon’s body with a bear’s head awkwardly attached, complete with a tuft of blue fur on top—giving it a distinctly non-mainstream appearance.

  If someone had never seen a dragon before, they might find this creature imposing and powerful at first glance.

  But anyone familiar with dragon imagery would immediately recognize the contrast.

  When compared to true dragons, this creature looked downright ugly—like a flawed evolutionary offshoot, lacking the harmonious and powerfully balanced physique of a dragon.

  Upon hearing William's question, the demigod guide immediately introduced it:

  "This is the Thunder Wyvern Beast, a sub-dragon-type magical beast with blue dragon bloodline—its bloodline is quite exceptional."

  "It possesses three innate magical abilities: Thunder Armor, Thunder Flash, and Thunder Strike. Additionally, this species has an extremely high affinity for lightning elements."

  As he spoke, the guide waved a light ribbon over the divine power projection of the Thunder Wyvern Beast.

  Instantly, the projection seemed to come to life, displaying its supernatural abilities for William.

  The airborne Thunder Wyvern Beast suddenly erupted with streaks of electricity.

  These electric currents wove together into a dense, stable web of lightning that enveloped its entire body like armor.

  "This is the effect of Thunder Armor. It offers excellent defensive capabilities, and any entity that comes into contact with it will suffer considerable lightning damage."

  After demonstrating Thunder Armor, the guide flicked his light ribbon again.

  William saw the beast, now clad in its electrified armor, adjust its flight posture.

  The stable net of lightning covering its body suddenly became agitated.

  In an instant, its speed surged several times over, leaving behind a streak of lightning in the sky.

  "This is the effect of Thunder Strike. It allows the Thunder Wyvern Beast to unleash a burst of speed far exceeding its normal limits while maintaining exceptional agility."

  Then, with another flick of the guide’s light ribbon, the Thunder Wyvern Beast projection abruptly halted in mid-air.

  The electric armor surrounding its body began to condense toward the tuft of fur on its head.

  As the blue fur gradually lit up with an intense glow, lightning elements from the surrounding air were drawn in.

  A sphere of pure electrical energy formed above the beast’s head.

  The entire process took less than a second.

  Then, as if reaching its limit, the energy sphere transformed into a terrifying lightning beam, shooting straight into the distance, leaving behind a dazzling blue trail of energy in the air.
