506 M999 Minigun; An alliance between the Necromancer King and Supreme Pontiff of the Church of Doom
Mark expected the system to answer him like its proposal was fair and the money he paid to acquire the item was actually covered by selling the system's items to others by using a loophole; however, it readily accepted the negotiation.
*Ding! The host's counteroffer is accepted. Now, please proceed to submit the item.
Mark's eyes widened by the notification, "seriously? My hypothesis is true then. It was for this key."
He doesn't know what the system wants, but since he only profited that night, Mark submitted the box to the system. In return, the system sent him a notification.
*Ding! The quest has been completed. Please click to receive the rewards.
Mark clicked on the notification.
*Ding! Rare material purchase section has been unlocked in the store.
*Ding! Voidstone has been unlocked. Please check the Rare material purchase.
*Ding! Credit limit has been increased to 2 billion.
*Ding! Upgrade crystal (superior) has been sent to the inventory.
*Ding! M999 Minigun has been sent to the inventory.
*Ding! The Unnamed Box will be sent to the inventory in 12 hours.
"Open Inventory"
Mark curiously clicked on the Gatling gun image in the inventory.
A new window opened with the image of a multi-barrel gun with one barrel in the center and four layers of barrels around it, each one is bigger than its inner layer.
With one in the center, then, six barrels around it, then, 12, then, 24, and finally 48, this 91-barrel gun looks quite heavy as well as intimidating.
He scrolls down to see its details.

Elemental bomb: The rotary machine gun will fire an ether bomb imbued with one of the basic elements and fire at the enemy.

Durability: The machine gun is durable enough to block attacks with less power than peak-12-circle.

"Damn, the celestial-grade weapon should be like this. The exoskeleton's firepower can't even hold against this weapon. I guess it is because this one is just a weapon and that is a nano suit. This one is super awesome, better than even the sword of light, the celestial-grade sword I stole from Emperor Shun's spirit.
If a celestial-grade machine gun could do this much, I wonder how amazing the God-grade weapons created by the system going to be. Now that I think about it, haven't I unlocked machine guns as the reward for killing that immortal? I could create such caliber weapons with a snap of a finger. Well, unfortunately, their high price tag will make those two top-grade weapons almost impossible to sell, but I guess Mythril-grade ones might sell well if I promote them properly. After all, they were also considered Divine weapons.
Anyway, enough about the machine guns. Let's check the others.
First Battle Robot was purchased for 600 million. Second Battle Robot was purchased for 840 million. The intelligence pill was purchased for 520 million. Overall, 1960 million. They reduced 98 million (5%) as their cut. Deducting 1 billion for the box, I received 862 million gold coins. That's about 172 million credits. Anyway, let's first pay off the debts."
*Ding! 120 million gold coins were deducted from the account.
*Ding! As the debt was being closed, the accumulated interest of 2.21 million gold coins was also deducted from the account.
"Accumulated interest, my butt…" Mark's pleasant mood soured with that second notification. He couldn't help but scoff at it, "It's only been a little more than a week since I unlocked the Rank-8 Battle robot and then bought one. Yet, the system charged me two weeks' worth of interest for those two. The second one, which was only created a few hours ago, was also charged one week's worth of interest. Black Hearted System."
*Ding! The system is always fair. The interest isn't charged on a daily basis, but weekly basis. The host was already reminded beforehand.
"Yeah, yeah, I know that. Can't you atleast let me let out this steam a bit?"
*Ding! The host can, but cannot aim comments on the system's actions without giving proper reasoning. "You never lose any opportunity to display your sassiness, aren't you?" Mark knew that he would only lose an argument with the system. Hence, after throwing a comment, he shifted his attention to the purchases.
*** Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, at Vermilion bird continent;
In the majestic Tower of Doom, located in a remote location of the Western Moon kingdom, the leader of the church of Doom was seen meditating in a dark chamber. His body is constantly leaking scarlet aura, almost terrifying his subordinates resting on the upper floors.
Everyone was also in close-door training ever since their leader returned with unstable demigod realm cultivation and ordered them to increase their strength for the war he was going to launch, after the whole fiasco at the battle for the fire seed, but their leader's aura became too strong that they couldn't concentrate at all. If anything, it was giving them sleepless nights. They wanted to run away from the tower but they couldn't do so.
In such a situation, what is the best thing they need? A formidable enemy at the doorstep;
Yup, they want an enemy to distract their leader to give them a momentary rest of peace. Fun fact, there are several in the organization that have had the same thought for the past several weeks, but no one is just voicing out their opinion.
Considering the fact that their base is also in the enemy territory and the news of Mark's return has already reached them, they were expecting an attack on the tower at any time. They were safe as long as they stayed inside the tower. So, they weren't scared of Mark, his robotic army, or his Supreme Being servant.
Little did they know that someone formidable would knock on the door of the tower right on this day when their leader's aura leaking is at its peak.
The entire tower shook as if there was an earthquake, forcing the organization's leader to come out of his meditation and go out in anger.
There, he saw a stranger standing on the head of a peak-9-circle-realm undead dragon with a woman with no life force sitting on its back
"Who are you?" Yan Hai furrowed his brows in extreme displeasure. It wasn't the Zheng as he expected.
The stranger crackled into laughter, "Hahahaha, I knew it. It was you, the third demigod. I thought it was the Lord of the Bloodhill, until now. But then again, it is interesting to see someone with so many attributes."
"Get to the matter, stranger, or else…" Yan Hai grew impatient. He wanted to go there and kill the one that disturbed him, but he had to face two supreme beings, one of them was even tougher to destroy because it was already dead. And then, there's this girl on the undead dragon. He cannot even sense anything.
Of course, he was confident about taking them on but wasn't sure if he could kill them in a short time. Hence, he gave them the chance to explain themselves.
The Necromancer King then replied, "Don't need to be alarmed, Supreme Pontiff Yan. I'm not an enemy. I'm here to form an alliance."
"Alliance?" Yan Hai was taken aback.
The Necromancer King explained, "You need to resurrect your founder, but the zheng will be your biggest hurdle. Now that the zheng and its master moved to this land, it became next to impossible. You have to take it down at all costs. I will help you."
"How do you…" Yan Hai's eyes widened once again. He controlled his expression and asked, "What do you expect?"
The Necromancer King answered, "In return, the heads of the living direct descendants of the Shang Dynasty and the six ancient major clans are my prize. As for the land, I merely need the imperial city and the entire region between the city and the Bloodhill forest. Your organization can have the rest of the Empire's land. I don't care."
There was a deafening silence for the next half a minute as Yan Hai was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of this deal. The Necromancer King patiently waited.
Eventually, Yan Hai opened his mouth, "Your proposal is good but you got one thing wrong. I don't want to kill the zheng. We need to capture it and give our founder as the present. You look strong but your strength won't be enough to accomplish this task."
"Oh, is that so?" The Necromancer King's smile only widened further, for some reason, "then, it is even easier. Your goal will be achieved as long as you can get me a beast emperor with Supreme Being cultivation. Luckily for us, there is one at the Western Yan."
"Hmm?"
