Chapter 231: The Value of Materials.
Actually, when Sander arrived, he had not anticipated that humanity had set up so many checkpoints along the Arctic border.
Moreover, there were millions in a great army arrayed there.
Therefore, as Sander dealt with the inspections, he had already changed his initial thoughts for this trip.
Since he would have to appear in the human high command's field of vision anyway, why not play something thrilling?
After all, if he didn't play something thrilling, he feared that a large portion of the supplies he brought from the Wolf Pack would be siphoned off by these bloodsucking human leaders.
These were supplies given by the Wolf King, and in Sander's eyes, they were more important than his own life.
So, he couldn't possibly part with any of the supplies.
This was the only significant task assigned to him by the Wolf King, and as one of the Commanders of the Tenth Faction of the Wolf Pack,
If he truly couldn't even complete a procurement task, he feared that he would fail the Wolf King's trust.
Sander, who originally was just a New Human scraping by in the lower echelons of human society and had never even eaten a gram of Variant Species Flesh, now savored delicacies in the Wolf Pack that he could never have enjoyed in his entire life.
So, he had long decided in his heart to follow the Wolf King!
Furthermore, during this period, Sander and Flash Star had spent time together, and Sander gained a deeper understanding of the spiritual power Flash Star possessed.
As an Arctic Silver Fox, the treatment this species received from the Wolf King within the Wolf Pack was not without reason.
Their awakened spiritual talents were incredibly formidable.
Through his recent comparison with Tiffany's spiritual power, Sander found that Flash Star's spiritual power was dozens of times stronger than Tiffany's Level 10.
It was a staggering gap.
With such a disparity, Tiffany couldn't even resist Flash Star in the slightest.
But in the human world, Tiffany's spiritual power still made her a formidable figure.
When he was in the Wolf Pack, Sander had sparred with Tiffany, and even now it would be difficult for him to win; this demonstrated just how powerful Tiffany's spiritual power was.
With Tiffany for comparison, Sander realized just how potent Flash Star's spiritual power was.
And throughout these days, as they conversed using spiritual power, Sander also discovered one of Flash Star's talents.
Control!
The control talent of the Arctic Silver Fox species could be long-term or temporary.
Like the Red-tailed Lead Wolf controlling the Invincible Fierce Tiger—it represented long-term control,
Turning nearly half of one's spiritual power into a seed and implanting it into the brain of the Invincible Fierce Tiger.
This could completely suppress all of the Invincible Fierce Tiger's autonomous will, turning it into a strong hitman for the Wolf Pack.
But as the Invincible Fierce Tiger's willpower was extraordinary, it hadn't been fully tamed by the time Sander left the Wolf Pack.
In the territory of the Wolf Pack, one could still occasionally hear the Invincible Fierce Tiger's roars and growls.
Yet, Mord was different from the Invincible Fierce Tiger; Mord's strength was only equal to that of a first-class New Human combatant.
As a human, the functions and quality of the body had deteriorated over tens of thousands of years.
In terms of Evolution speed, it was far behind the Mutated Creatures.
Therefore, Sander felt that with Flash Star's formidable spiritual power, he could use it to directly subdue and control the highest commander of the Siberian military, Mord.
Then, with Mord's identity, he would dominate the entire Siberian military,
The Arctic Defense would not only cease to be an obstacle for the Wolf Pack but might even become the vanguard for the Wolf Pack in the future.
Once this thought took hold, Sander couldn't let it go.
Even if he were to truly lose, Flash Star would be able to return to the Arctic with his potent spiritual power and another talent for Invisibility.
Once back in the Arctic, Sander believed the Wolf King would learn everything, and the human troops along the Arctic Borderline would face an extremely devastating blow.
Whatever the Wolf King had supplied him with, they'd have to spit it out just as they had ingested it.
But if he were to win, the victory would exceed all expectations.
Therefore, Sander sternly suppressed his excitement, silently awaiting Mord's arrival.
As for the supplies he carried in the Heavy Armored tanks, over these days, they had undergone the most meticulous inspections by the Defense Force.
But after the Defense Force commanders had completely inspected the supplies in Sander's Heavy Armored tank, apart from greed in their eyes, there was also reverence.
This was because the Defense Forces had specialized equipment to detect Pure Energy, and upon testing Sander's supplies, some of them far exceeded the commanders' imaginations in terms of standards.
You should know that now, in human society, items and potions containing Pure Energy had already been categorized into many Grade Levels.
Ranging from Grade F to Grade SSS.
The flesh of an ordinary Mutant Creature could only be considered the lowest Grade F.
Starting from Grade F and going up correspondingly.
In the million-strong Defense Force, the highest Grade of items and potions were only Grade S.
However, when the Defense Force commanders tested the flesh carried by Sander in the Heavy Armored tank, they never expected to find values graded as high as SS, even verging on SSS.
On the day of testing, a red light flickered across the majority of the test chamber.
The grade values verging on SSS astonished everyone.
Because those who worked in the testing room knew all too well what values verging on SSS signified.
It meant that a portion of the flesh brought by Sander had reached the level of pure energy contained within a King-level Mutant Creature, even verging on the pure energy of a High King-level Variant Species.
King-level Mutant Creatures!
In the eyes of the Defense Forces, these creatures were enough to strike terror in the hearts of anyone who heard of them!
What are King-level Creatures?
Those that alone could shatter mountains and shake the earth were deemed King-level!
Such mutated creatures had surpassed the capacities of human technology to contend with.
Even with countless technological weapons laid siege, and numerous Elite Soldiers laying down their lives in a battle of attrition, it wasn't certain that they would be able to vanquish a King-level Mutant Creature.

Because King-level creatures not only possessed formidable defensive power and vitality to the extreme but also boasted speeds that scorned humanity.
The majority of King-level Variant Species were so fast in their movements they outpaced the interception capabilities of the current Heavy Armored tanks, heavy artillery, multi-barrel rapid-fire vehicles, and swarms of drones.
Even the slow-moving and most cumbersome Mutant Brown Bear from the Siberia Plains siege, which had the slowest movement speed, had reached a high of two to three hundred meters per second and could madly dash for thousands of kilometers.
Therefore, facing such mutated creatures, only the perspective-domineering Fifth and Sixth Generation Invincible Warplanes soaring in the skies could possibly keep up with the chase.
It was for this very reason that humankind had to pay an unprecedentedly high price to completely eradicate these fearsome King-level Mutant Creatures.
Just the last time when they brought down the Bloodthirsty Brown Bear, which barely qualified as an Ordinary King-level Mutant Creature, countless Field Corps perished, and it wasn't until blood dyed the region red that they succeeded in gradually grinding down the Heavy Armored Brown Bear.
And yet, the massive cost paid in that desperate siege garnered Bloodthirsty Brown Bear flesh that, when tested, didn't even reach the grade values of the flesh brought out by Sander!
Moreover, Sander had even brought back several dozen blood-stained feathers, whose hardness surpassed any material ever encountered by all the commanders, unfathomably indestructible.
Its hardness standard had even exceeded Carbon Blocks!
Be aware that carbon blocks are the toughest material unanimously recognized by the major powers of the world over, with no equals.
Carbon Blocks are chains formed by clusters of carbon atoms, with strength more than 200 times greater than steel and 40 times that of diamond, and undoubtedly the most commonly used material by the Science Alliance when creating the most cutting-edge battle mechas.
However, as battles with Mutated Creatures have become increasingly intense, even mechas made of carbon block materials could no longer withstand such fierce collisions.
Just like with elites such as Felix and other New Humans, where the so-called sturdy mechas shattered instantly upon collision during confrontations with the Invincible Fierce Tiger and Su Lin.
Hence, the entire Science Alliance and every major human society are now searching and offering high prices worldwide for even sturdier materials.
But materials harder than carbon blocks are rare; other than some Mutated Creature skulls, breastbones, scales, and tree trunks, there is virtually nothing else that can surpass them.
Once, during India Country's fifth siege against the Bloodthirsty Python, they managed to wound the Bloodthirsty Python during its weakest phase of shedding skin.
It was during that time that a batch of New Humans risked their lives to stealthily steal the shed skin and pick up several scales from the Bloodthirsty Python's lair.
Eventually, those skins and scales were auctioned off at sky-high prices in human society.
Countless powers were eager to buy them for a shockingly extravagant amount of money.
Scores of New Human strongmen even teamed up, hoping to assassinate and snatch away these skins and scales.
In the end, they were acquired by the Science Alliance for a hefty sum, and rumor had it that multiple Perfect-Level Battle Armors were crafted from them.
Now, the scales Sander brought out were also beyond the hardness of Carbon Blocks, even more than twice as hard, nearing 500 times the hardness of steel.
With such extreme hardness, the commanders, though uncertain how the Science Alliance might utilize and modify them, knew that the battle armor made from these scales would be beyond imagination.
A hardness 500 times that of pure steel would render even the most advanced armor-piercing bullets ineffective.
Scales of such a caliber, feared to be only slightly less valuable than those from the Bloodthirsty Python Scales, would certainly sell for an unimaginably high price.
This greed and desire surged in the hearts of all the Commanders at the Arctic Borderline upon witnessing these scales.
However, behind their greed and desire lay a touch of awe.
Because no one knew exactly what Sander had encountered to acquire such materials capable of causing an uproar!
Nor did they know the extent of Sander's current powers.
From the mouths of the remnants of the Heavy Armored War Corps who had last fled back, they had already learned that Felix had suddenly increased in size to twenty or thirty meters in an instant, his powers terrifyingly immense.
Thus, they feared that Sander before them also possessed such sky-defying methods and strength.
Despite their longing, they dared not make the slightest move.
Furthermore, in their eyes, the more composed and unruffled Sander and those like Tiffany appeared, the more inscrutable they became.
In recent days, many commanders could only show their smiling faces to Sander and his entourage.
As for the real decision, they could only wait for Mord's arrival before finalizing it.
If Sander and his followers were controllable, then those wildly coveted materials would become the possessions slotted into the commanders' bags.
