After stealing from Carroll, Ringo was tempted to go further, using the vacant third clone to start a career as a space thief.
There was no way around it, that robbery alone was worth billions of Enas in materials.
This kind of easy profit made Ringo's eyes red, how many other materials in the galaxy were worth as much?
Sure, he wouldn't be the kind of thief who stole from good people, but stealing from villains can be considered a good deed, right?
Regardless, Ringo finally managed to calm down after a moment of adjustment. Just because he managed to steal from Carroll didn't mean he could steal from everyone else, he hadn't forgotten that as a Nightmare, mages and Psychics still had advantages against him.
One wrong step and the result could be catastrophic.
In the end, all he could do was sigh, he had his own path to wealth, and things like stealing weren't a reliable source.
Besides, he hadn't planned on selling this batch, but with the materials he managed to get this time, he could create some truly powerful weapons.
Besides the fact that Black Spider is still working on the planet Kandor, acquiring more equipment is a strong possibility, so much so that even when he advances to Grade S he could have a large reserve for new equipment.
In recent days, Black Spider took Trax and Rick across the planet Kandor. He soon discovered that finding Maktru was very difficult, the largest mines were thousands of meters underground, so even if he found small deposits, after extraction, they would barely yield 50 grams of Maktru.
This filled him with despair, so finally he tried a different approach.
Leaving Rick and Trax, along with dozens of clones, to dig large holes and use their sensors to look for Maktru.
Sure, that was incredibly stupid, but he didn't do it in reality, but through his vision of the future.
Choose a location, consider the possibility of letting them dig there, if they find nothing, go further and repeat the process.
It was stupid, but Ringo could see thousands of possibilities a day, over time, even if he could only see a few hundred hectares a day, he still had a good chance of finding a deposit.
Thus began the pilgrimage of Black Spider, Trax and Rick across the planet Kandor.

On the other side, planet Xenomorph 1 was completely different from months before. Life surrounded the entire planet and the number of Xenomorphs was growing rapidly.
The queens laid hundreds of eggs a day and the Xenomorphs grew extremely fast. If it weren't for the rapid proliferation of insects and plants, the ecosystem would have already collapsed.
Instead, the number of magic crystals produced grew each day.
A new Hell base was being built in an open area, it was described as a base, but it was actually a laboratory. Emma was the future manager of this laboratory and she was even working on something new with Ringo this time.
In an already constructed area, the pair looked at a pod filled with green liquid, with a strange creature inside.
It looked like a humanoid, a humanoid only a few centimeters long and it was sleeping at the moment, far from waking up.
-How's that going?- Emma asked, her voice mixed with concern and curiosity.
Ringo's evolutionary field surrounded the room, he observed the humanoid with evident interest, yet he didn't stop, continually adjusting the creature's gene.
-Almost there, he's almost holding his own.- Ringo said calmly, then turned to her and asked. -How's the connection?
Emma closed her eyes slightly, then opened them with a smile. -Perfect, I can control it.
Ringo nodded, his eyes returning to the creature, behind the dark glasses, he was lost in thought. This little guy was a fusion, something even more advanced than the Xenomorphs.
To be more direct, Ringo used C-31's genes as a base, but he transformed it from a pseudo-animal life form into a pseudo-vegetable one, in addition to fusing it with a series of plants with Emma's help.
The goal? To create a fighting force that Emma could use.
Her control over plants only grows, but there are many environmental limitations, so the idea of creating a living being based on plants was conceived. Emma would have complete control over the creature, and besides, the creature itself had great potential.
It is very likely that it will reach the level of a Grade A specimen when fully grown and this is only the first specimen.
Its physical characteristics resembled those of a tree, with hard bark instead of skin, its cells were entirely of plant origin and it could extract nutrients from the soil and perform photosynthesis. Of course, with genes from carnivorous plants, it could also feed on living beings to replenish nutrients.
Ringo created it to look exactly like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy.(Marvel)
When he thought of a plant-like being, Groot was the first thing that came to mind. His powers were quite similar, but he possessed far more abilities. In the future, an entire race based on Groot could emerge.
