[After reassuring Morvane, you informed him about his room in the Advanced Apartment Carriage.]
[So far, only you, Jade, and Scarlet were living in the Advanced Apartment Carriage despite there being so many vacancies. Old MacDonald was living in the Advanced Ranch at Carriage 2, while Astraea lived in the Advanced Blood Orchard.]
[After all, you had relocated Astraea’s vampire castle in the Advanced Blood Orchard since the Blood Orchard had an environment filled with the blood attribute, making it a suitable living environment for her.]
[As for Morvane, he didn’t need a specific living space. Even if he did, your Zenith Train didn’t possess such means yet since you didn’t have a death-attributed area.]
[After assigning Morvane to his room, you soon left the Zenith Train, handing the responsibility to manage the Zenith Train while you were away to Jade.]
[After stepping outside and arriving in the station world, you looked at the modern infrastructures of the city and couldn’t help but ruthlessly glance at all the living mortals.]
[’The Angels of Death have limited the death contest to be only within the land of this country. Not only that, the World Barrier of this Station World is indeed limited only to this country. So even if I want to, I can’t leave this country.’]
[’Unfortunately, if it were possible for me to leave the country and travel the entire mortal world, I could have spread out the killing quota and made it so that it would look less abnormal. But now, I can only concentrate on the deaths of a hundred million humans in this single country.’]
[According to your life’s philosophy, you wouldn’t engage in needless slaughter if it didn’t benefit you. After all, while you were a murderer, you weren’t a crazy psychopath who took pleasure in killing.]
[However, you might cause the death of a hundred million humans now, but it was all for the sake of inviting Morvane to your train crew and allowing Morvane to increase the rank of his Death Authority to Initial Mythril rank.]
[It could be said that those hundred million mortals wouldn’t be sacrificed for nothing. Allowing an Angel of Death prodigy like Morvane to reach Initial Mythril rank Death Authority would be the greatest honor they could have in their entire lifetime.]
[After all, even if other Angels of Death were given the same resources and opportunity, it would be a pipe dream for them to believe that a hundred million mortal lives were sufficient to reach Initial Mythril rank Death Authority.]
[From your estimation, at least a billion mortal souls were needed for the average Angel of Death to reach Initial Mythril rank Death Authority.]
[’Maybe it was due to such a high mortal soul requirement that the Mythril rank Angels of Death placed a ban on wanton killing. With the current twenty billion population of this world, it’s only enough to give birth to approximately five Mythril rank Angels of Death at the least.’]
[’After all, aside from the Death Authority reaching Initial Mythril rank, the power rank was also required to reach Mythril rank for them to be considered a Mythril rank powerhouse.’]
[’The mortals required to reach Mythril rank are still more than the Death Authority advancement requirement since Death Authority advancement could still have a discount influenced by one’s talent and comprehension.’]
[’But for power rank, it’s solely based on talent and potential. It would naturally consume more mortal souls. Moreover, brute force advancement of power rank via mortal souls would lead to an unstable foundation unless that Angel of Death had obtained Train Crewmate Authority to prevent that from happening.’]
[Native inhabitants of station worlds had to worry about rank advancement requirements, and so purely using resources alone to advance power rank wasn’t enough. Such privilege was only given to Train Conductors and the train crewmates of such Train Conductors.]
[Otherwise, if not for such a benefit, no one would want to become a Train Conductor or even join a Train Crew.]
[As long as the Train Crew’s overall power wasn’t bad, most powerhouses of a station world who were stuck in a certain power rank would join a Train Crew, even if they’d only be reduced to a normal train crewmate.]
[’I haven’t even mentioned my possession of an Initial Crystal-grade Crystal Gem Fruit to Morvane, yet he already agreed to join. Although, having it and not having it wouldn’t change anything, since compared to power rank, Morvane is more interested in having his second requirement completed.’]
[’For an Angel of Death, they value the rank of their Death Authority more than their power rank. After all, their Death Authority’s rank lagging behind meant that they couldn’t kill enemies above their power rank.’]
[Knowing that, you treated this seriously, as whether you completed the second requirement or not was the main determinant whether Morvane would officially join the Zenith Train Crew or not.]
[Taking out the Death Papyrus, you headed to a five-star hotel. Using mind control-based magic spells, you booked yourself the penthouse suite within the hotel.]
[Taking advantage of the highest floor viewpoint from the penthouse suite, you surveyed the entire city. This time, you didn’t hide your power rank and went all out.]
[However, you had used World Order, Absolute Boundary, Presence Concealment, and any magic spells and methods you have to temporarily conceal yourself from the Angels of Death above.]
[’Since I’m going to offend those Angels of Death, I might as well write every name of the humans in this country into my Death Papyrus.’]
[’Whether I kill a hundred million or a billion wouldn’t make any difference. Both actions would lead to the all-out pursuit of the Angels of Death.’]
[’So, if I’m going to offend them either way, why can’t I be a bit bolder and gain more benefits for the Zenith Train Crew?’]
[Recalling the Death Papyrus you had taken ownership of before, you could use it to kill those humans beyond the hundred million quota you and Morvane had agreed on.]
[With that in mind, you took out those two Death Papyruses and started your preparations.]
