Chapter 679: The Future of the Two Mother Queens

~12 min read 2,326 words

In the Ancient Starpath, somewhere in the unknown Starry Sky, several Marauder spaceships were leisurely returning. Among the warships covered in bizarre Coating on the outside, a few Spaceships looked out of place.

On the silver-white metal shells, there were only a few words in the Interstellar lingua franca—Godot Trading Group.

This was a small merchant convoy that seemed to have bad luck. They encountered Marauders and were directly taken down.

In the leading Marauder warship, the noise mixed with the foul air in the cabin was enough to make any lifeform that walked in here feel what a headache was.

Marauders rarely had strict discipline. Perhaps due to their origins, no one would be bound by Rules.

Wearing tattered clothes, they were gathered together. In a huge iron cage in the center of the cabin, a large number of people of various races were piled up.

Fear was hidden in their eyes, and many were sobbing in low voices, as if foreseeing their dark futures.

"Boss, our harvest this time is not small. When we transport these people back to The Fallen City, we can sell them for a good price again, plus those transport ships and goods."

A Marauder carrying an Energy Rifle and with a Cybernetic Enhancement on his right arm said ingratiatingly.

The Marauder leader sitting on an earthy-yellow mechanical iron seat laughed heartily. He had many irregular black and purple spots on his body, resembling some kind of Beastkin.

He fixed his gaze on a small cage not far away. Several people dressed relatively cleanly were inside, men and women, and their expressions were still considered composed.

One of the older ones forced a smile and pleaded: "Boss, you have gotten all the goods, and we people aren't worth much money, just let us go."

The Marauder leader sneered: "Let you go? How could it be that easy."

"Where are your family members? Have them pay to ransom you. The interstellar situation has been unpredictable recently, I really don't know what you were thinking, actually not hiring a Guard Fleet."

The Dust of an Era, Falling upon Ordinary People, Becomes a Great Mountain.

The impact caused by the Star Glory Empire's search operation for the Other-Dimensional Camp was far more profound than it appeared.

Many civilizations had already made pre-war preparations. As a result, the prices of some materials skyrocketed, and quite a few bold guys wanted to get a share of the pie.

And the turbulent interstellar situation also made the Marauders who acted in times of chaos rampant. Their actions became more frequent, attacking small civilizations and cross-civilization merchant convoys multiple times.

That old man seemed to be the leader of the merchant convoy. Hearing this sentence, he only smiled bitterly. The cost of hiring a Guard Fleet was too high.

The scale of their merchant convoy was not large, and the profit was originally not much.

He was also harboring a fluke mentality, thinking it wouldn't be so easy to encounter Marauders, who knew he would be so unlucky this time.

"A bunch of damn bastards, the Interstellar Alliance will not let you off!" An untimely scolding sounded from the cage.

It was a young boy, Gnashing Her Teeth as he spoke.

This sentence caused everyone's expressions to change subtly, and that old man's face changed drastically even more.

"Oho, let me see who has such guts?" The Marauder leader stood up, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

But just as he stood up, the ship's hull suddenly jolted violently, unexpectedly exiting Warp Mode and coming to a stop.

Bang!

The Marauders present were all staggered by the inertia, and some directly fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" He grabbed the table and shouted loudly.

Soon an operator replied, with a face full of horror,

"Boss, the ship's AI suddenly lost control, automatically locked the Engine, applied emergency braking, shut down all Detection radar, weapon arrays, and Shield arrays, and even disconnected the network link!"

"We can't contact the other warships!"

"Could it be an enemy attack?!" He was furious, "Such great guts, didn't they see the symbol of The Fallen City hanging on our ship!?"

"Immediately activate the backup AI, regain control of the warship!"

The operator rushed back to his post, operated for a while, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat from shock.

"No... it's no use! All functions are frozen!"

Right at this moment, a Marauder suddenly pointed at the porthole, his arm trembling, and let out a terrified sound, "That... that... what is that!?"

The Marauder Boss pushed aside the others and rushed forward, wanting to see what exactly happened.

But as soon as he reached the porthole, he was so shocked by everything before his eyes that he froze in place.

Only to see in the Withered Starry Sky, a pitch-black giant was standing tall not far away.

It seemed to be a magnified version of an interstellar human, just taking one look made people feel trembling all over.

In front of him, a huge oval object was suspended, like a giant egg, devouring all the light around it like a Black Hole.

"What exactly is this..." The Marauder leader's face was bloodless. Right at this moment, that black giant was seen moving its head, and two eyes as silent as the Abyss came into his view.

"A good specimen..." A grand voice sounded in his mind, like Thunder, causing him to lose consciousness.

The warship cracked open, and in the cage not far away, a young boy, controlled by an invisible force, slowly floated up.

He had a face full of horror, but it was difficult to make a sound. The people around him were all dumbfounded on the spot, completely unresponsive to everything happening before their eyes.

He arrived in front of that black giant, still not knowing what was about to happen, only seeing that giant egg continuously enlarging.

He merged into that giant egg!

"The Blueprint is still the best to use, other races simply won't work," the black giant muttered in a low voice. Naturally, he was the Fallen Titan who had disappeared for a long time.

Since the end of the Titan Sanctuary incident, who knows how many factions had been searching for his traces, but all Gained Nothing.

He seemed to have evaporated On the interstellar stage, unexpectedly appearing here.

Not long after, cracks surfaced on the black giant egg before his eyes, and it quickly crumbled. In the pitch-black light,

A creature that looked exceptionally terrifying appeared before him.

The young boy had completely changed, his size magnified many times.

On his head were dense compound eyes, like a giant fly.

His tail had become extremely huge, simultaneously continuously spewing out black round balls, only the size of a baby's head.

Those round balls seemed to have Self-awareness, quickly attaching to the lifeforms around, and extending black silk threads, wrapping them up.

"Go, bring me enough Life Energy..." The pupils of the Fallen Titan seemed to light up slightly.

And shortly after, at another Navigation Point of the Ancient Starpath, a large number of standard fleets without any markings appeared here.

They found a Life Planet, the surface completely covered in black soil. Most Life Planets in the Ancient Starpath were like this.

The lifeforms born on them were also bizarre, extremely tyrannical and terrifying.

After this standard fleet landed, they quickly transformed into huge Humanoid Machine. The leader among them took out two silver-white Metal Cabin.

After the Blast Door opened, two giant mother queens with different appearances were released, precisely the Alien Queen and the Zerg Mother Queen.

The two mother queens let out hissing sounds of different frequencies, and the rest of the Transformers spread their large feet, heading to other places on this Life Planet to look for nourishment for the two mother queens.

At the same time, Li Yu had already arrived at the high-end Hotel specially prepared for them by the Babofel Star System Archon.

This Star System Governor strictly followed orders, didn't converse much with Li Yu, and left hurriedly after arranging everything.

"The two mother queens have already been arranged. The interior of the Ancient Starpath is intricate and complicated, and most Life Planets have harsh environments, making it an excellent place for development."

Sinai reported in a low voice. The surroundings had already been inspected in detail, without any listening or surveillance equipment.

"Hmm..." Li Yu nodded. After brief testing, he directly released both the Xenomorph and the Zerg.

Previously, there was only the Xenomorph race. After several modifications, although they could parasitize Advanced Lifeform, the speed was relatively slow.

And this Wise Zerg could develop Biotechnology, and even produce Zerg warships, only their own combat power was relatively weak.

However, after combining the two, they were very suitable. Putting them in the Jade Void Palace was fine, but there weren't that many resources for them to develop.

Li Yu simply threw them out directly, found a place without people, and let them develop slowly.

The Ancient Starpath was the most suitable place. Due to the influence of special magnetic fields, basically no one cared.

No matter what happened inside, no one would pay attention.

"Are Guangcheng and Yuding in position?" he inquired. This Hotel was specially built by the Babofel Star System, precisely to welcome various important figures.

This was the best room among them. Through the window, one could clearly see the pale red ribbon above the sky vault, without any obstruction.

"They are already in position and can act at any time," Sinai nodded.

"There are still a few days until the eruption period. Let's wait a bit, don't be too deliberate," Li Yu instructed.

"Understood..." Sinai nodded, and then pulled up a Holographic Screen, saying: "In addition, news came from the Salvation Ark. The A-Tier Alliance incident seems to have the shadow of the Reformers behind it."

"Reformers..." Li Yu murmured: "Why am I not surprised at all."

More than a month had passed since the last A-Tier Meeting.

During this period, the voices for the A-Tier Alliance had increasingly risen, and many meetings had even been held, but due to various reasons, there were no results.

There was even an A-Tier Lifeform who directly announced the establishment of the A-Tier Alliance. As a result, no one paid attention to him at all. His reputation was limited to his own civilization, and no one On the interstellar stage knew him.

Not only did no one pay attention to him, but not long after, that A-Tier Lifeform also disappeared mysteriously, leaving people to their imaginations.

Even with the Major Civilizations secretly suppressing it, the heat of Public Opinion had never decreased.

As the organization behind it took action more and more frequently, it was inevitable that traces would be found, and the Reformers surfaced as a result.

"They are running out of time. When the Star Glory Empire frees its hands, the A-Tier Alliance will only become an illusory bubble." Li Yu frowned slightly. He already viewed the A-Tier Alliance as the carrier organization for the Justice League.

He didn't want them to die so quickly, but rather hoped they would grow stronger as soon as possible, so they could bring him assistance.

"It seems I need to give them a sense of urgency." He opened his Smart Terminal, found "Husband," and dialed over.

.........

The Secret Conference Room of the Reformers. This meeting had already lasted for three days. The many elders argued until they were red in the face, and the atmosphere in the field fell into silence for a time.

"I still don't recommend directly taking the lead to establish the A-Tier Alliance. The risk of doing so is too great, and the benefits obtained are far from enough," someone spoke, words of experience.

Someone echoed: "Exactly, this does not align with our plan. What we need is to lead behind the scenes. For the A-Tier Alliance to truly become something, it requires a lot of time."

"During this time, it is just a bloated and useless organization. To us, it has no use at all!"

Husband frowned, looked around, and said: "With our frequent actions, someone has long found out that our shadow is behind this incident."

"Whether we take the lead or not is merely a formal difference. I don't know if anyone remembers that the name of this plan is called 'Monitor Plan,' not 'A-Tier Alliance.' I want to tell you, plans can never keep up with changes."

"If a person of sufficient weight doesn't come out to take the lead, when the Star Glory Empire frees its hands, the A-Tier Alliance will only be an illusory bubble. This is a golden opportunity, we absolutely cannot give it up!"

"The Star Glory Empire can't find the traces of the Other-Dimensional Camp, we still have time, no need to be so anxious. We have cultivated your surface Identity for a long time and paid a huge price," someone added.

"We paid so many resources, all for right now!" Husband's attitude was extremely tough: "Three months have already passed, we all know the Star Glory Empire won't continue to waste time."

"If they suddenly free their hands, the reaction time left for me won't even be enough!"

Everyone Look at Each Other in Dismay. Their main point of deadlock with Husband was right here.

They wanted to Proceed Gradually, ideally tricking out a scapegoat puppet.

But the reputable guys On the interstellar stage were all shrewd people. They kept watching, just not acting.

And Husband wanted to enter the field himself, kicking this Final kick at the door himself. But this risk was too great, almost putting the Reformers on the fire to roast.

Just as the scene fell into a deadlock again, Husband's screen vibrated, and a Communication Link emerged. It was exactly from Li Yu!

"It's him?"

Husband's expression flickered.
