"Hiroto, are you sure you know how to do this?"

Rimuru asked as he expanded his slime body and enveloped multiple corpses of high-class devils at the same time. Quickly digesting it to copy all their skills and recycle their bodies into mana. Watching Hiroto stand in front of 10 probes who were half the size of his body. Floating in front of him while waiting for his orders.

"I know the basics at least... I haven't played Protoss a lot back in my days of playing starcraft. Even though they're a powerful race, they're pretty punishing in the early games due to their expensive builds and units. So... I usually lost when I was playing them"

"... Your words scare me. Doesn't that mean you have no idea what you're doing?"

"Don't be too paranoid, Rimuru. We're not really in the game, so I'm sure everything will turn out fine. The people here have no idea what the Protoss are, so that's a pretty huge advantage for us. We also have a strong starter army, so that makes our lives a lot easier"

He said before he glanced at his status window to look at the number of system points he has. Making him let out a deep frown before he turned his attention to the price of the Protoss buildings.

"We have very little funds to buy expensive builds and units, so we need to be careful in what we build first, or else we might suffer later once the devil faction or Grigori starts taking notice of us"

"You're not worried about heaven?"

"They're usually really peaceful. They won't unnecessarily make enemies without any valid reason. As long as we show that we are not pursuing the same goals as the devil faction. They won't antagonize us"

Hiroto explained before he rub his chin. Ordering a probe to build a [Nexus] in the middle of the land they captured. Making the probe immediately fly towards the center of the land and open a rift in space to warp the [Nexus] on the specified spot.

"A nexus cost us 50 system points... System... do I still need to buy the twilight council or any of the research facilities to get specific upgrades for my units?"

[No need, the buffs researched back at your dimension would directly apply to the units you summon in this dimension]

"I see... so I'll cross them out. We also don't need the [Citadel of Adun] and [Forge] since I don't need them. I can directly build the [Templar Archives] and [Photon Cannons] even without them... I guess I still need the other buildings to unlock all units from the [Warp Gate], [Stargate], and [Robotics Facility]"

He said before a large pyramid structure appeared in place of the rift in space. A structure that occupied a large area in their camp due to its sheer size. On top of it is a floating blue crystal that seemed to be emitting energy in its surroundings. Powering up the structure and letting it operate independently.

"Huh? What's wrong with it? I just said it's big"
