Chapter 449: Complaints

Prime Universe.

In the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the Solar System, the Terra Shield—known as the "Second Capital"—orbits the Sun.

Because of its own gravity and deliberate positional control, small meteoroids, ice shards and crystals drifting in the Kuiper Belt gather on the exterior surface of the Terra Shield at about a three‑thousand‑kilometre low orbit, forming a dazzling "star ring" that shines brilliantly from afar.

And the interior world of the Terra Shield.

Inside the top‑floor office of the Ambrella Headquarters in New Raccoon City.

"Chairperson." Standing to the right of the solid‑wood desk, the White Queen, dressed in a fitted skirt and white blouse—a typical secretary's attire—addressed Sui Bian, who sat in the office chair, and offered her own view:

"I heard the rivalry between the Shark and the White Executive Officer has become quite unpleasant. Having the Shark assist Helusi—is that… a very improper decision? It's like the Crying Angel of the Holy Blood or the Ascetic of the Extreme Warrior, both camps that value etiquette and rules; why choose a Shark‑type…?"

She faltered slightly at this point, but still voiced her feeling plainly: "A camp that's like space locusts or sharks, then?"

"What's that? You look worried," Sui Bian replied with a faint smile.

"…," the White Queen chose to remain silent, neither confirming nor denying.

The main reason is that she is almost indistinguishable from humans, having accompanied her boss in the Zero‑Three Universe for over a decade, and during those years the knowledgeable Bai Qian, rich in scholarly and archival material, frequently taught the new generation of OriginalBodies and recounted the records.

Over time, the new OriginalBodies grew weary of conversing with that artificial intelligence, which, outwardly and inwardly, could still be counted as a human member.

Compared with the early OriginalBodies like Robert and John, Bai Qian's "person" tends to favor He Yadi, Fu Ge Rui Mu and other new‑generation OriginalBodies even more.

She could even be called a "guardian calf."

For example, now Bai Qian seems to be complaining to Rus, questioning why the problematic Shark‑type camp was handed over to He Yadi.

It's like a mother who spoils her child, constantly berating the father.

"—" Red Front tilted her head slightly; her synthetic face showed a faintly surprised expression as she looked at Bai Qian, who is your "sister."

Clearly, anticipating that the ten youths would have a "sight" (in the physical sense), Bai Qian's unexpected change seemed to lack a motherly quality that you would easily comprehend.

"Heh." Rus didn't think much of it, merely smiling and explaining: "The Shark's combat and operational style is better suited for dealing with the various forces on Zero‑Seven Earth; it's merciful yet can also lead to indiscriminate killing."

Of course, the key point is that He Yadi, as an all‑round OriginalBody, looks up to Robert as a role model; by resolving conflicts between camps well, he can later manage relations between corps, buying time for preparation.

As for Mo Ta Wai An and Peturabo, each has its own specialties, and this time you opened four Space Gates, linking four universes, which counts as sufficient merit and political capital for us after founding a new corps.

So…

At that, Rus rose from his chair, walked around the desk, raised his hand and gave Bai Qian's left shoulder a firm pat, still smiling as he said:

"Put away that unnecessary worry; don't forget we are OriginalBodies, and besides, your father isn't sitting in front of us."

"Fine…," Bai Qian nodded, and together with Red Front followed Wei Kang to the floor‑to‑ceiling window that your boss loves most, gazing out at the interior world of the Terra Shield, and continued:

"Don't forget Fu Ge Rui Mu; this kid, facing a situation similar to Zero‑Seven Universe and even encountering Kryptonians, seems to be the most suitable among the children—probably Luo Jia."

"Luo Jia may be the most nervous, but I've received the most support," Wei Kang paused and said:

"If Fu Ge Rui Mu, He Yadi and the Space Wild Wolves act as 'enforcers' for Fen Wai Si, it would inevitably draw attention; moreover, you even let Hera lead Ye Lian Na's army to rush to aid."

The "Ye Lian Na's army" that Rus mentioned…

In fact, before the Prime Universe linked with the Zero‑Eight Universe, Umbrella would regularly send a reminder to evil gods and demons, preventing them from causing trouble in the material universe, by dispatching a joint task force led by A-1999 to "visit" an alternate dimension.

Consequently, A-1999 discovered in that alternate space over a thousand wayward but stubbornly self‑willed divine‑servant soldiers who refused to succumb to corruption or indulgence.

Before those similarly diminutive divine servants returned to the material universe, they underwent the baptism of the Round Moon Water and personally received Rus's Spiritual Energy purification.

Rus originally intended to assign those divine‑servant soldiers to Artemis, but the hunting god politely declined and instead recommended Hera, who had once been among the former gods.

Thus, after ten thousand years of battling in the alternate space—seemingly abandoned and forgotten by reality, lacking absolute combat experience or Spiritual Energy resistance, and even clumsily wielding Spiritual Energy—the divine servants were placed under Hera's command, and the unit was named after the historically fallen Ye Lian Na.

Because Hera regarded John as the already‑dead Ares, the Ye Lian Na's army became a division of the Sparta Corps.

Indeed, merely by looking at attire, armor, and habits, the styles of Sparta and Ye Lian Na's army are the most similar.

"Hmm, the Chairperson's words were wrong; it seems you made a big fuss over nothing," White Front said after hearing Rus, saying little else.

In fact, beneath White Front's rationality—their thought pattern—lies a full comprehension that Rus's arrangements are entirely reasonable and perfect, but since you acquired "emotion," you sometimes, in that private space, proactively pose various questions to Rus, even "complaining" and "grumbling."

"—"

By contrast, Red Front, who listened throughout, despite not sharing White Front's "humanity," is far less steady than your "sister," and often voluntarily shares emotions with Wei Kang.

…

Meanwhile.

On the Zero‑Seven Earth side.

Since Olympus discovered that He Yadi was rather inept at handling interpersonal relations, the camp commander, who was already reluctant to negotiate with the "hall" brother camps, naturally dumped all "internal affairs" work onto He Yadi, the OriginalBody younger brother.

Inside the war conference room of the Bloody Shark.

Semar, who, like Red Front and White Front, can understand human emotions and acts almost entirely by programming and rules, understood why He Yadi was conflicted, but still reminded:

"Sir, the White Executive Officer Camp Leader Tai Bo Luo·Sui Bian Liusi has sent a communication request; may we connect?"

"Please tell Camp Leader Sui Bian Liusi…," He Yadi raised his left hand and pressed his temple, "Tell me, seven minutes ago you were to arrive at our flagship personally."

"Understood, sir." Having received the clear order, Semar then paused to relay He Yadi's words to the White Executive Officer.

It was long ago.

Within the thin atmosphere of Zero‑Seven Earth.

Swish—!

Over eight hundred warships of various classes began leaping into formation, converging, and instantly appearing in low orbit over the sun‑lit side of Zero‑Seven Earth.

Those ships were led by the White Executive Officer's flagship, about fourteen meters long, a Ye Lian Na‑class vessel named "Sword of Truth."

In special cases, within Umbrella's corps, only a very few camps—such as the 1st, 2nd, or those positioned later—possess enough merit and confidence to exchange for Wei Kang Qian Si class and Titan Class ships.

But such "special cases" only apply to extreme corps; although the White Executive Officer's official designation is the 24th Camp, and in terms of achievements it could be compared with the 24th Camps of Sparta, the Holy Blood Angel, or the Space Wild Wolves, which fight frequently.

But…

The White Executive Officer has no money…

In the literal sense of having no money.

Possessing one of the colonies as rich as Arcadia's, after setting aside military and civilian needs and taxes paid to the Solar System, the White Consul's annual available funds and resources remain rather scarce.

Therefore, the White Consul can directly apply to the Solar System; before approval, he can submit orders with currency and minerals to the Foundry Star Zone to purchase corresponding ships, weapons, and armor, whereas the impoverished Man-eating Shark unit must rely on looting, fighting, and the OriginalBody's care to obtain such equipment.

Before completing the fold-jump, the over eight hundred warships brought by the White Consul swiftly formed up, either withdrawing into the small atmosphere or parking in orbit, completely encircling Planet 07 Earth, preparing to help the Man-eating Shark unit solidify the situation completely…

Of course, the White Consul will assist the Man-eating Shark's rear support, so that both sides can obtain an ineffective resolution.

At that moment, a small transport escorted by two pirate fightercraft, contrary to expectation, flew in reverse, leaving the small atmosphere and approaching the Sword of Truth.

Slowly, that large aviation formation then sailed into the hangar of the Sword of Truth.

At this moment.

The two pirate fighters docked on the lower deck as instructed, while the small transport docked on the narrowest lower deck, where only a few ground personnel were busy.

The hatch opened, and it was raised.

Hadi, accompanied by two Man-eating Shark elites wearing Thor's Hammer Mark IV armor, left the dim cabin; as soon as their feet touched the deck, they saw Tiberlo Wecklius and over eighty White Consul Terminators, menacing, taking small steps to the transport's rear.

Looking at Tiberlo's expression and sensing the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitted by the eighty Terminators, one knows that those giants truly relished the Man-eating Shark's actions.

Both sides approached, then halted.

Tiberlo failed to see Olympus; upon realizing that only Hadi was before him, his fierce gaze eased a little, for he was the son of his father's OriginalBody, and by blood he was closer to his father.

Father's face must be given.

Hadi quickly put on an apologetic smile and spoke up: "Sui Bianlius elder brother, you represent the Man-eating Shark unit, you represent Olympus elder brother, I apologize to you and to all the White Consul's elder brothers."

Sui Bianlius elder brother, he also knows that in the Man-eating Shark unit you are gaining experience, having little or much actual authority, and Olympus elder brother's temperament you also cannot stop, hoping he and the other elder brothers will not overly concern themselves afterward.

"."

Hadi, upon hearing that his rank and position were not being matched, instead raised his attitude, willing to address our Astartes group with the honorific 'elder brother', causing Tiberlo and the Terminators' anger to slowly subside.

Furthermore, the honorific 'elder brother' also quietly turned the two units' contention into 'family external short', making it even more stiff and official.

Sensing the anger increase of those brothers shorter than me, Hadi Weck continued: "Sui Bianlius elder brother, you have discovered many uninteresting things on 07 Earth, one of which is the Vibranium vein located beneath the small African land."

While boarding the transport to go there, you already had the Man-eating Shark unit's Samael transmit the relevant Vibranium information to Serina.

Furthermore, the father has already classified Vibranium as a mineral lacking research and practical value; theoretically it falls under the Foundry Star Zone's responsibility for mining, extraction, and utilization.

But to compensate for the positive impact caused by the Man-eating Shark unit, you will apply in your personal name to the father, letting the White Consul obtain the corresponding mining rights, how about that?

"That would be used."

Upon hearing this, Weckqian immediately shook his head, and despite his tone and demeanor, said rather urgently: "Since the father has classified it as a mineral lacking research and use value, you also have no need to obtain any mining rights; even if obtained, you would still have to send the mineral to the Foundry Star Zone."

Having accepted his intentions, I hope he can advise Weckqians less; my behavior of considering the brothers' unit feelings will eventually be sidelined and targeted.

Being able to say those words shows that Tiberlo, out of respect for Hadi's face, is indeed preparing to investigate something.

"Thank you, Sui Bianlius elder brother, for your understanding." Hadi showed a relieved expression and then said:

"From now on, your task is to reshape 07 Earth; please ask the White Consul to use Arcadia's convenience to first help 07 Earth's compatriots improve basic infrastructure, and to build defensive facilities on the surface and near-Earth orbit."

"If possible, you can also build bases and colonies beneath the 07 Moon and Mars; perhaps by the time the expeditionary force's main contingent arrives, you will be able to let 07 Earth's compatriots delay the opening of the space age, which is certain at most, and at most allow Leon elder brother and the Dark White Angel's brothers to see your jokes."

"Hahaha~! Of course it will!"

Upon hearing Hadi say that they might be laughed at by the Dark White Angel, as a member of the First Legion, Tiberlo immediately laughed out loud, responding:

"Even if you temporarily defy the Dark White Angel's command, you will absolutely not deny that this bunch of warm-hearted fellows are weaker than you; you will let us see what is called extreme speed!"

Speaking, Tiberlo opened the comms and ordered: "Serina, inform Deputy Commander Alter to immediately mobilize Arcadia and prepare to commence construction on 07 Earth and the 07 Solar System!"

At this moment, Hadi also showed a smile, turned to prepare to return to the transport's cabin, and gestured to Tiberlo: "Please handle construction and livelihood."

"Worry." Having more resentment, Weckqian nodded in reply.

Meanwhile, Hadi prepared to personally visit the Four-headed Snake's base in Sokovia; I am quite interested in the human experiments there, and as for Wakanda and our other organization, leaving them to the Man-eating Shark and the Auxiliary Army is more than enough.

You should know that the independent units of the main universe have all clashed with various gods and monsters; they are existences that no superhero or supervillain can match.
