Chapter 247: A Shady Yet Simple Scheme (1/2)

-----

A group of strange Gods were moving across the waters over a boat of normal appearance but that had special magical tools over it.

”You idiots, if we use divine power the frog will notice and will deal with us, we must come here with this tool that hides its own energy presence… So we can have a chance to steal the egg.” Said the man.

”Hmph… To think that the Boss would want that egg so much…” sighed the bug.

”Well, it's the egg of a powerful beast, if he gets his hands into it and raise it well…” said the woman.

”It could be a pretty big thing… Owning a Supreme God-level pet would bring him to almost the same level too! Imagine all the authority he could get!” said the bug, nodding.

”Yeah! Imagine…” sighed the woman.

The trio imagined their boss owning a gigantic frog of tremendous power, which would eliminate any threat with a single step of its enormous foot. The power that the children of this frog could develop was amazing, the risks were worth it! The payoff was way too good.

This group of people had emerged from the faraway lands conquered by the Space Pirates, as they were extracting the precious Mana Crystals and other Materials that were growing in the depths of this world's oceans, which also included the Life Swamp Soil, which was the very sediment of this world's swamps, special soil made up over eons of many life forms living and dying in the still waters of this planet, rotting, and forming a special rich soil filled with nutrients.

This soil was sold in amazing prices in the black market, and it could help anyone's farm enhance their plants to completely new levels! Many mega corporations that mass produced food in specialized production-based planets were buying this soil in large quantities.

However, as they slowly took over the entire planet, rumors about the giant frog that had ruined one of their facilities a few years ago were still spreading everywhere, and also the rumor about this monstrous being protecting an egg with an offspring also spread around.

Wanting to make some quick buck and also gain the favor of their boss, this trio of Gods went into a journey by themselves looking for the frog to steal her egg. They learned a few things along the way, and knew that the frog usually reacted to magic and energies rather badly, so they concealed their presences and the magic of their boat through specialized tools and items.

The organization where they belonged was an old one made up of a variety of people, amongst them there were many demigod-level and above members who had a big history of crime across the solar system or even the entire galaxy.
