Chapter 389: with translation of chapter title

Seven days' time, with Rog's rather meticulous nature, is enough to properly arrange the entire star system.

Moreover, Angelong's Kelakesi will arrive soon, and then we can arrange for the plague doctor to study Angelong's corrupted isotopes.

As for those battle sisters, Sui Bian has already learned about them through his son; all that remains is to wait until he has free time to talk with them personally, then release Spiritual Energy to try to influence their thoughts, after which a battle sister squad belonging to Umbrella can be formed.

Now the Red Queen has begun screening girls of suitable age, personality, and conditions in Zero One, Zero Two, and the main universe.

As for orphans…

Frankly speaking, given the human level of Zero One, Zero Two, and the main universe, the number of orphans and orphanages has sharply dropped to its lowest point.

After all, the highly developed network and surveillance facilities are one factor; moreover, the most crucial point is that the UEG's laws regarding kidnapping, child trafficking, and related matters are quite 'humane'.

The lightest sentence starts at 270 years, the heaviest is life imprisonment; there's no way around it—who let people's lifespans increase so much? Moreover, this applies to accomplices with low involvement and not-so-serious circumstances; as for the principal offender, if the evidence is solid, they face direct execution, no appeal, and no reprieve.

This sounds harsh, even suspecting tyranny, yet public opinion is quite supportive; moreover, some netizens joke that the punishment is still insufficient, demanding that the principal offender's relatives also be sentenced to death, or life imprisonment, before they can feel appeased.

For such requests, they may be 'discretionarily' adopted in special cases; however, in most situations they will absolutely not be given any heed.

Abandonment crimes are equally serious; although they do not incur the death penalty, the astronomical fines and sentences of hundreds of years are enough to make many parents who were planning to abandon their own children give up this mistaken act.

Of course, if for some reason, or if the couple is at odds and both are selfish and do not want to raise a child, they can also send the child to the welfare institution officially established by Umbrella, after which Umbrella will take full responsibility for raising the child.

This choice is 'single-threaded'; once a decision is made, parents will completely sever ties with the child, and even if they later regret it and reform in good faith, it will be of no avail.

The Red Queen first selects suitable girls from her own welfare institution; regardless of personality or thought, they maintain absolute loyalty to the company and to Chairman Sui, and most importantly, they hold an extremely firm faith in 'Human Truth'.

As for having the White Queen prepare the grand apparatus 001…

Sui Bian plans to borrow the Human Empire's Devout Star Region to announce to all the xenos in this galaxy the 'advent' of humanity from the main universe.

Furthermore, he relied on Angelong's eyes, using Spiritual Energy to 'inspect' his son's corrupted isotope once, thereby obtaining much high-level intelligence about the Human Empire.

Among them, the Devout Star Region was originally the Extreme Star Region under Robert Guilliman's charge, supposed to have the largest population and most complete infrastructure, but after being occupied by Lorgar and the Word Bearers Legion, it has fallen into being the most faithful to the Chaos Gods, and also the most depraved and foul star region.

Yes…

Lorgar Aurellian did not die, even though he was sliced in half at the brink of death by Leon Joanson; nevertheless, the Chaos god-demons still let this Chaos‑turned OriginalBody recover as if nothing had happened.

Therefore, the Devout Star Region is most suitable for 'killing a chicken to scare the monkeys'.

However, before Sui Bian carries out the 'killing a chicken to scare the monkeys', he needs to personally go to the Devout Star Region; the purpose is not mentioned yet, but this is also preparation for a future 'expansion' to conclude the distant campaign.

After finishing his thoughts, Sui Bian raised both hands to operate, marking on the holographic reduced star map, 'refreshing' the positions of the traitorous OriginalBody and its legion.

Previously, most of the positions were provided by veteran Terrans of the Shadow Moon Grey Wolf, but the intelligence is too outdated, resulting in low accuracy.

Immediately afterward, Sui Bian notified John, Kelakesi, and Shengjilesi via the central console, telling his three sons to promptly devise a battle plan.

Once a person becomes busy and absorbed, they feel time flying by.

In this regard, Sui Bian also cannot escape the realm of humanity; when he had marked all the information from his mind onto the reduced star map, the White Queen happened to report: 'Chairman, Angelong's Kelakesi has already departed the Rift Space; currently arranging the escort of the Chaos OriginalBody and Chaos Astate, expected to enter the heartworld of the Impervius via the polar entrance in ten minutes.'

"Has it already been four hours?" Sui Bian sighed slightly, then turned and walked out of the central control room, and instructed the White Queen standing to his right: 'Then please notify the doctor and Artemis, telling them to prepare for researching the Chaos OriginalBody.'

"Okay."

After giving the order.

Sui Bian left the central control room accompanied by Constantine, the White Queen, and a retinue of guards, arriving at the inner world with an artificial star, then took a ground‑exclusive vehicle several kilometers outward to the biological research center hastily erected by the Engineering Department.

Arriving at the research center equivalent to a small town, the convoy halted, the troops disembarked, and the plague doctor in a white coat together with a group of researchers immediately stepped forward.

"Oh! Sir!" the plague doctor exclaimed with his extremely magnetic voice, approaching Sui Bian surrounded by the guards, and urged anxiously: "I can't wait any longer—how much longer does that kid Angelong need?!"

"He's already here." Sui Bian slowly raised his gaze toward the "sky".

Everyone present instinctively looked up toward the "top" polar direction, seeing a massive transport convoy escorted by Viking fighters, passing through a gateway about fifteen kilometers in diameter, and they could also directly observe the gigantic gate of the dark void.

Adjusting the angle.

Then the pilot swapped data, quickly adapting to the inner world's strange gravity, and then drove toward the landing pad facing the research center.

Decelerating to a hover.

Lowering the landing gear, and finally under everyone's watch, the entire transport convoy came to a complete stop, allowing Angelong and his hundred‑person escort to exit the cabin, escorting the sealed cages—employing anti‑gravity tech and varying in size—that held the prisoners.

Angelong himself took charge of the cage containing the isotopes, leading the escort detail, and met up with his father, who had been apart for less than seven days.

Sui Bian merely glanced at the escort detail, also sensing the unrest within the cages—seething forever with anger and resentment—and then used Spiritual Energy to examine their past…

They are indeed a pitiful bunch, yet also hateful; having chosen damnation, there is no longer any possibility of salvation or redemption.

At that moment, before the father and son could catch up, the plague doctor, already unable to wait, ran to the first cage, tapping and patting it with his fingers and palms, excitedly telling Angelong: "Hurry, child! Quickly send these materials to the lab!"

Seeing the doctor's quirky temperament surface, Angelong looked to his father for opinion, while Sui Bian gave a faint smile and a slight nod, indicating his son should follow the doctor's instructions. Seeing this, Angelong, who obeyed his father's orders, hesitated no longer, looked down at the plague doctor and said: "All right, doctor, please lead the way."

"Hahaha! You really are obedient, kid! Come, follow me!"

The plague doctor burst into another round of laughter, turned around, and together with the research team prepared to lead the way; Sui Bian and his party, along with Angelong's escort detail, also entered the experimental building of the research center.

Upon entering the interior.

There were Grey Knights wearing Sanctus Terminator armor, with paper‑copy 'Human Truth' sheets attached to the outer armor and bound with cloth strips printed with the 'Human Truth' content, wielding Vindicaire power halberds, who together with the researchers guided the way, sending the cages holding the Chaos Devourers underground for 'storage'.

As for the Grey Knights who were originally tasked with handling anomalous spaces, they now serve as the research center's 'security', primarily to ensure stability.

After all, the experimental material is no longer merely heinous and expendable mortal D‑class personnel; it now consists of Chaos‑empowered Astate and OriginalBody beings capable of overwhelming everything.

Although the inner world of the home planet can seal off anomalous spaces and Chaos forces, to be cautious and guarantee absolute safety, Sui Bian deliberately stationed the Grey Knights here to assist the plague doctor and researchers throughout.

Soon, the originally large squad was split up, leaving only Angelong, Sui Bian, Constantine, the White Queen, and over ten guards following the plague doctor, not to mention the Chaos OriginalBody that the plague doctor kept muttering about.

Taking the elevator to the mid‑level area of the building.

Here, Artemis, clad in armor that emits a faint silver glow, with scattered golden‑off‑white waist‑length hair and an olive‑branch wreath on her head, had already been waiting outside the large laboratory for some time.

Moreover, waiting alongside this goddess of the hunt were several Grey Knights without helmets, each wielding their personal weapons.

Next, the plague doctor and his four assistants personally escorted the cages, after which Artemis and the elite Grey Knights escorted them into the large laboratory.

The gate sealed shut.

Angelong and Sui Bian also entered the observation room beside the laboratory, preparing to watch the plague doctor's first surgery on the Chaos OriginalBody, while Constantine and the guards, along with the White Queen, waited outside the observation room.

Inside the observation room.

Angelong, looking through the one‑way window, saw the cage automatically open, revealing a bound 'human stick' OriginalBody—its form tied by light beams and its Spiritual Energy suppressed—shouting curses and roaring angrily, yet these words had absolutely no effect.

Afterwards, Artemis commanded four Grey Knights, preparing to transport the OriginalBody to the multifunctional operating table, and during transport, the Human Truth decorations on the Grey Knights' bodies would severely burn the OriginalBody.

Amidst even more intense shouting and cursing, and having lost its limbs, struggling like a writhing worm, the OriginalBody was finally transferred onto the operating table, and the table also released beams of light that bound it completely, rendering it immobile.

Having done all that, Artemis and the Grey Knights quickly retreated, silently standing guard around the walls.

Seeing that everything was ready, the Plague Doctor took the black pouch from his assistant, rummaging with his left hand inside as he walked toward the OriginalBody, unable to restrain himself, he elongated his voice and muttered with a laugh: "Ah~! Child! You have been deeply poisoned by the plague… oh? What are those on your head… hmm… interesting, interesting, also a poor child, rest assured, benevolent as a healer, I will try to help you take them out, hahaha~! Perfect for gathering more experimental data, hm~ hehehe~!"

Saying that, the Plague Doctor had already walked to the side of the operating table and pulled out a needle tube nearly half a meter long from his pouch.

At the same time, to have a quiet surgical environment, the Plague Doctor tossed the pouch to the assistant behind him, freeing his right hand to touch the OriginalBody's body.

"Benevolence?! You freak, stay away from me…"

Only to hear the OriginalBody's cursing cut off abruptly; even if it wanted to curse again, it could only twitch its deformed, twisted mouth, unable to make any sound, as if the Plague Doctor had activated a mute mode.

"!!!" Angelong's OriginalBody widened its eyes in shock.

"..." Everyone remained very calm.

They were used to it.

Immediately after, the Plague Doctor, too lazy to even disinfect, gripped the syringe with both hands and stabbed it fiercely into the OriginalBody's neck, then began to draw the turbid blood that emitted a faint red glow.

You must know this is a Fallen OriginalBody; its skin was actually pierced easily by an "ordinary" needle tip?? The OriginalBody's already chaotic thoughts were further thrown into disarray by the Plague Doctor, and, of course, it was precisely the Plague Doctor's agitation that made the OriginalBody feel a rare calm.

At this moment.

"Father." Angelong, who witnessed all this, asked Sui Bian: "The doctor's vaccine can already help humanity and our human allies completely isolate the intrusion of alien spaces, so… why must we still conduct such experiments."

Angelong's expression showed no pity or sympathy, nor any hint of doubt; he was simply curious about what his father and the Plague Doctor were up to.

"Child, how do you feel about your OriginalBody and your brothers' OriginalBodies?" Sui Bian countered.

"Feeling…" Angelong pondered for a moment, then replied: "There is a strange sense of familiarity, always accompanied by the thought 'If it were Father teaching me personally, how would that be?'"

"Well, actually I do too." Sui Bian answered Angelong's initial why, and frankly stated his intention: "Child, to speak frankly, I want the doctor to try cloning those OriginalBodies, after all, I still have some free time these days."

Upon hearing that.

Angelong first froze, but quickly reacted, responding: "Father, are you looking to expand the legion?"

"Yes." Sui Bian did not deny, choosing to admit directly: "The main point of expanding the legion is the OriginalBodies, and I now have time to teach them; moreover, many loyalist Astate who are loyal to the Emperor and willing to fight for humanity should have survived, and at that time, the loyalists can likewise be incorporated into the newly formed legion."

Therefore, I need more samples of traitor OriginalBodies, preferably alive; of course, the doctor said that dead ones don't matter either, as long as we can recover part of the corpse.

"The most important point is…" Sui Bian stopped watching the Plague Doctor's operation on the OriginalBody, turned sideways to face Angelong, hands behind his back, and smiled: "There are too many galaxies and universes waiting for us to conquer; relying solely on you and your nine brothers to manage is far from enough."
