Chapter 3752: Legendary Mission

~23 min read 4,518 words

Silver Queen Zerg nest, a huge Death Wing flew across the high altitude, various detection-type Zerg units floated above, and the various Zerg buildings located below had their own unique fluctuations.

It had to be said that a Zerg Queen with a rich family background like the Silver Queen, after developing the mother nest building complex, these building complexes not only had high practicality but also had the unique aesthetic of Zerg buildings.

It was just that, at this moment, the Zerg guarding various parts of the building complex all looked anxious. The reason was that their Queen was facing huge danger, but the mental instructions coming from the mother nest were to let them stop in place.

The reason for these mental instructions was that at this time in the Silver Queen's sleeping nest, she was only half a meter away from Su Xiao. At this distance where one could hit with a reach, no matter how strong a Zerg Queen was, she couldn't face a three-technique master.

Sometimes, the contradictions between each other need to be adjusted by distance, just like before, the Silver Queen hated Su Xiao to the point of gnashing her teeth, but now, when the two were half a meter apart, the Silver Queen would even smile at Su Xiao. This contradiction was adjusted quite well.

Bahar and the irritable little elf entered the sleeping nest, among which Bahar sealed the entrance of this place with a space barrier, so as not to let the Silver Queen have any back-up plans.

Su Xiao walked down from the sleeping bed. Two crystal chairs facing each other were formed, about a meter apart. After Su Xiao sat down, he looked around the situation in the sleeping nest. It could be seen that this sleeping nest had been carefully set up, unlike the sleeping nest formed by Jila, which was simple.

Under Su Xiao's signal, the Silver Queen sat down opposite with some reluctance. In order to keep the last bit of pride as a Zerg Queen, she explained after sitting down, "Please don't misunderstand, I am not afraid."

"Hmm, I know."

Su Xiao opened his mouth. Hearing this, the Silver Queen opposite was stunned. She had already prepared to die here, but the attitude of this Law-Extinguishing Shadow opposite made her feel very surprised.

Could Su Xiao kill the Silver Queen on the spot? Of course he could. He could make the other party die here in 1 second, but what was the gain of doing so? Besides the kill reward, there was nothing else. Plus, killing the Silver Queen would cause all the lower-level individuals she controlled to lose control and die one after another in the next few days, while these Zerg buildings would wither at a faster speed.

In this way, other world-destroying groups near this territory would inevitably notice this. In the Overgrown Land, every piece of territory was a priceless treasure, so those world-destroying groups would definitely come to compete. To keep this territory, either Su Xiao took action, or he summoned Jila to build a Zerg nest.

Su Xiao never treated his opponents as fools. Although there was no movement from the Lightless Temple side, Su Xiao didn't think that such a big movement here could escape the eyes of the Lightless Temple. Once exposed, the current Purgatory-level difficulty would instantly soar to Nightmare-level.

The current Lightless Temple was like a powder keg. Those priests or temple knights, temple warlocks, etc., had become somewhat crazy because of the influence of the Lord of Eternal Darkness's will. As long as they learned of Su Xiao's whereabouts, they would immediately come to fight Su Xiao to the death.

Even if Su Xiao had been promoted to a supreme powerhouse, he would have a death probability of over 90% once he faced this situation. At first, it would be the containment of those crazy people in the Lightless Temple. Soon, the four giants of the Lightless Temple would appear at the same time, and then bring all their subordinates, as well as world-destroying groups that had grudges with the Law-Extinguishing faction, to surround and kill Su Xiao.

For example, first deal with temple warlocks, then deal with temple priests, then deal with one of the four giants of the Lightless Temple. There would be no such gradual difficulty curve. At this moment, as long as the whereabouts were exposed, it would be four super bosses, bringing a group of ordinary bosses, and many small bosses, and countless elite monsters, to surround and attack Su Xiao together.

Killing the Silver Queen at this time, compared to the kill reward obtained, actually lost more. But the problem was, if he chose to capture the Silver Queen alive, with her proud personality, she might commit suicide in at most two days. And knocking the other party unconscious to capture her alive was even more impossible. Don't underestimate the strength of a Zerg Queen's mental power.

How to retain this advantage now, how to fool... cough, how to turn the Silver Queen from an enemy into a friend, was the key. Thinking of this, Su Xiao took out a silver Origin Stone fragment. He held this fragment with his index finger and thumb and asked:

"I am very puzzled, why do you have such hatred for me."

"You... you still have the nerve to mention it. Who exiled me here?"

"Hmm, it was me."

Hearing Su Xiao's such frank answer, the Silver Queen's momentum was stifled. She had thought that the other party would mock her in every way, or even torture her, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so righteous when answering this question, even making the Silver Queen feel, did she ignore any details? Could it be that she was the one in the wrong?

"Actually, you should thank me."

"?"

The Silver Queen was confused. Her initial momentum had vanished. Before, she was too angry to speak, but now she was too confused to know what to say.

"I did lose to you. Everything here belongs to you, except for my will that will not submit. So take action; humiliating the loser is meaningless."

The Silver Queen closed her eyes and sat back, waiting for death to come. Even if she lost particularly unwillingly, she still chose to accept it.

"Remember, what is this?"

Su Xiao pinched the fragment of 【Origin Stone: Silver Queen】 with his thumb and middle finger. Seeing this thing, the Silver Queen felt some sadness in her eyes and said, "This is the wreckage of the world I controlled."

"Because you caused this world to collapse, your consciousness was sealed in the Origin Stone formed by the collapse of the world."

"That's right."

Speaking to this point, the Silver Queen's thin lips curled into a cruel arc, as if to indicate that she was a cold Zerg Queen who had destroyed a world.

"I have read the story of this world, in the Great Soul Library."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Silver Queen's expression stiffened. The reason for this was that the fact that she had destroyed a world was simply her dark history.

A long time ago, the Silver Queen was also one of many Zerg Queens. All Zerg Queens had an expectation, which was to become the master of the Zerg in the myriad worlds.

The Silver Queen of the past almost did this. However, there was one point that made her only one step away from the master, which was that the Zerg had an iron law: no matter how to develop the group, one must not let the world one controlled collapse. The Zerg's view was continuation and evolution, not destruction.

The Silver Queen was able to take down this world as a result of her confrontation with several Zerg Queens. But when she became the final winner, this world was already riddled with holes due to the Zerg war. Changing to another world was certainly possible, but abandoning this world that had allowed her to rise would inevitably make other Zerg in the myriad worlds ashamed, not to mention becoming the Zerg master. Even if this world originally had no other living things, only Zerg.

Don't think that the Zerg master is just a title. Except for special Zerg Queens like Jila, other Zerg Queens had to listen to the master's instructions. Therefore, it was necessary for all Zerg Queens to acknowledge the Silver Queen before she could become this master. Plus, there was actually no intrigue among the Zerg, only the strength of evolution, so this choice of the master's position could be reached.

Destroying the world she controlled into such a state, the Silver Queen's master position was about to go away. At this critical juncture, the Silver Queen suddenly thought that the decay of this world was nothing more than the confrontation between her and several Zerg Queens, leading to a large overdraft of the world's power. As long as she replenished the world's power, let this place be full of vitality, and then she would build magnificent Zerg buildings, and with her strength, wouldn't the master position be stable?

The Silver Queen was secretly happy for her wit, so she built a Zerg nest battleship, traveled in the void between worlds, and specifically looked for those worlds that had world power but no living things and were about to collapse.

As for why she didn't go to those worlds with abundant world power and many living things, of course, it was impossible to go. That would attract a lot of trouble, leading to time and effort, which was not as efficient as looking for worlds about to collapse.

After hundreds of years of effort, the world controlled by the Silver Queen was full of world power, and then the world cracked. Specifically because of what, the Silver Queen herself didn't know. She clearly consulted a large number of records, saying that this method could let the world restore vitality.

When the Silver Queen's consciousness was squeezed into the Origin Stone by the "Devouring Black Hole" when the world collapsed, because she drifted in the void between worlds for thousands of years, she finally gave up thinking because of the sense of loneliness. The subsequent thing was that Su Xiao obtained 【Origin Stone: Silver Queen】, and because she returned to the material world, the Silver Queen's consciousness gradually awakened.

Su Xiao tossed the Origin Stone fragment in his hand and said, "I say, you listen. If what I say is right, you answer right; conversely, you answer not right. Any problem?"

"There is a problem."

Clang—

The long blade was unsheathed and pressed against the Silver Queen's fair neck.

"Now?"

"It looks... no problem."

Although the Silver Queen's gaze was somewhat resentful, due to the physical negotiation being too simple and direct, she could only make concessions for the time being.

"First, if it weren't for me using the 'Origin Stone Random Extraction Permission,' you would still be stored in the material inventory of the Reincarnation Paradise as Origin Stone: Silver Queen. Right, or not right."

"Right."

This point the Silver Queen could not deny and could only answer honestly.

"Did obtaining Origin Stone: Silver Queen touch your interests, or rather, was it me who turned you into an Origin Stone?"

"No."

"Very good. Just up to the time point we said, I didn't cause you any damage. Conversely, it was me who exchanged you, who was an Origin Stone, out of the Reincarnation Paradise's material inventory."

"Right."

"After I exchanged Origin Stone: Silver Queen, I have been wearing it on my body, because the biological energy floating in the Zerg nest established by my follower Jila awakened you inside the Origin Stone."

"Right."

"After you were awakened, you chose to hide at the first time, waiting for an opportunity to harm me. Right, or not right."

"This..."

The Silver Queen suddenly felt inexplicably guilty. She carefully recalled it and finally answered:

"Right."

"I discovered your malice and didn't choose to kill you, but exiled you to the Eternal Light World. Do you think I didn't have the ability to kill you back then?"

"You... had this ability."

"So, it was me who helped you escape from the Reincarnation Paradise's storage, and unintentionally let you re-awaken. Subsequently, facing your malice, I didn't kill you but exiled you to the Eternal Light World, letting you turn over a new leaf here. No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't hate me so much. Is there any problem with what I said?"

"Uh—this..., it seems..."

The Silver Queen carefully recalled the flaws in Su Xiao's words, but in the end, she was surprised to find that what the Law-Extinguishing Shadow opposite said seemed to have no deviation.

"I said before that you should thank me. Is there any problem with what I said?"

"There is a problem! After I arrived here, I almost lost my life many times."

"Hmm, this is of course. But why did I exile you here? I have a bad memory. Can you help me recall?"

"It is because..."

The Silver Queen couldn't go on.

"You intended to harm me, so I exiled you to the Eternal Light. Subsequently, you almost lost your life here a few times. In this way, the grudges between us are even. You say, right?"

"It seems, right... maybe."

The Silver Queen felt the blade that had already touched her skin. The "not right" that had already reached her mouth suddenly changed its tone and wording before it came out. Who said that -21 points of charm attribute had no negotiation effect? The Silver Queen at the moment was obviously persuaded by Su Xiao's exquisite eloquence.

"Since this is the case, we should sign a contract to write off the grudges of the past. How about it?"

"Re... ally?"

The Silver Queen had some disbelief in her eyes. In her feeling, the Law-Extinguishing Shadow opposite with amazing blood qi shouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"……"

Su Xiao manifested a contract. After the drafting was completed, he signed his name on it and then controlled it to float in front of the Silver Queen. After the Silver Queen confirmed there was no problem, a wound appeared on her thumb by itself, and purple-red blood flowed out from inside. Then she pressed her thumb on the contract and left a blood seal on the contract belonging to her.

The contract floated back in front of Su Xiao. After confirming it was correct, he put this contract into the contract column. Subsequently, he sheathed Zhan Long Shan and let Bahar lift the space barrier of this place.

The entire sleeping nest was at least a hundred square meters, very spacious. Su Xiao came to an open space and began to set up the formation.

The Silver Queen tried to spread her mental power. The next second, five silver Zerg guards appeared around her. Subsequently, various Zerg rushed into the sleeping nest, surrounded the Silver Queen in the center, and stared at Su Xiao with eyes.

"You, aren't afraid that I will ignore the contract and go back on my word? Just one death, I can bear it. My life soul is not just one."

"……"

Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the Silver Queen at all but set up the formation with concentration. This made the Silver Queen's eyes gradually narrow. As she gradually issued mental instructions, all combat Zerg were eager to move. In the end, a mental instruction to leave the sleeping nest was issued, and all combat Zerg went out.

Perhaps the Silver Queen would never think that this was the closest time to complete death in her long life. But if she dared to issue an order to surround and kill Su Xiao, 0.1 seconds later, Su Xiao could make the Silver Queen die thoroughly immediately.

"You really... aren't afraid that I will go back on my word?"

The Silver Queen still had some disbelief, because she felt that this Law-Extinguishing Shadow was really too sincere, sincere to the point of being creepy.

"Are you a Zerg?"

"Of course."

"For the sake of continuation and evolution, the Zerg will not go back on their word. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't kill you directly last time?"

"Oh, so you saw this point and came to talk about cooperation after exiling me."

The Silver Queen seemed to see through everything. Hearing this, Su Xiao's hand holding the technique carving knife paused and said truthfully:

"Not really. Exiling you to the Eternal Light was to help Jila find a resource area in advance. The place you chose is very good. Well done."

Su Xiao didn't spare praise.

"?"

The Silver Queen was stunned, and then her pupils began to shrink with anger.

"You, immediately, right now, leave my territory."

"Are you sure?"

"Very sure."

"Pity, I originally wanted to send you away from here after cooperating with you."

While Su Xiao was speaking, he took out the 【Blade of Sealing】 and stepped toward the outside of the sleeping nest.

"Wait, are you really prepared to let me out after the cooperation?"

The Silver Queen hesitated. She wanted to leave this place all the time.

"Of course, otherwise continue to lock you here and accumulate hatred for me?"

Hearing this, the Silver Queen's anger +2 points. She didn't know why, but the Law-Extinguishing Shadow opposite, although every sentence was a fact, could make people half-dead with anger.

"Do you usually negotiate with others like this? Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"

"Not really. When most people negotiate with me, they are polite and humble."

"How is that possible? They... uh—it seems, it really would be like this."

The Silver Queen's tone lowered, because she remembered that when she negotiated with Su Xiao just now, the other party put the blade beside her neck. In this situation, whoever negotiated with this Law-Extinguishing Shadow would have to be polite and humble.

Su Xiao checked the formation he set up. This was a summoning formation to summon Jila to this world. When he first entered this world, he had a plan. If this plan succeeded, not only could he get rid of the four giants of the Lightless Temple, but other world-destroying creatures and Abyss-nourished creatures exiled here would not be able to escape.

Seeing the teleportation formation Su Xiao set up, the Silver Queen had already guessed what would happen next. This made her gaze particularly serious, because in the Zerg consciousness gathering place, Jila's prestige was known to every Zerg Queen.

The so-called "Zerg consciousness gathering place" was very much like a network between Zerg. This was perfected by the Zerg masters of past generations and notarized by the Void Tree. All Zerg Queens, after obtaining the permission of the current few managers, could enter this gathering place with mental power to communicate or exchange gene sequences of Zerg units.

Even the Silver Queen, who was exiled to the Eternal Light World, could visit the "Zerg consciousness gathering place." It was just that because she was in the Eternal Light World, she could only view the content inside and could not communicate mentally with other Zerg Queens or exchange gene sequences of Zerg units.

Generally, Zerg Queens with fourth-tier comprehensive strength were qualified to enter this "gathering place," but Jila had never obtained the qualification to enter. This was not targeting, but fear and dread.

Assuming a normal Zerg Queen had 10 talent points, that was 3 points added to troop explosion and combat, 3 points added to survival, and 4 points added to resources and development. Not to mention, there were late bloomers like the Silver Queen, who added 6 talent points to resources and development.

Jila was not. Under Su Xiao's cultivation, Jila was gifted, and she had at least 30 talent points, and these 30 talent points were all added to troop explosion and combat.

This was also why the groups that had clashed with Jila were all beaten up. This also led to Jila being a fierce existence in the large group of Zerg. If Jila's mental power entered the "Zerg consciousness gathering place," then no other Zerg Queen would dare to come in. It was really afraid of being found by Jila along the "network cable."

This was because the Zerg Queens who were eliminated by Jila before transmitted the despair and powerlessness before being destroyed in the "Zerg consciousness gathering place," as well as the Demon Zerg's troop explosion ability that far exceeded normal Zerg by several dimensions.

Zerg Queens developed combat Zerg bit by bit, and when the quantity was almost there, they gradually became high-profile. Conversely, Jila, as long as there was biological energy, could explode a massive amount of combat Zerg units in one day, and she didn't explode miscellaneous soldiers, but elite and small boss units like Demon Beasts and Demon Flame Dragons.

Some Zerg Queens were scared silly after seeing these memory images. The small boss units they had worked so hard to cultivate were cultivated in batches in the Demon Zerg nest.

What was even more terrifying was the growth speed of Jila's combat Zerg. After normal Zerg were born, they would have a half-hour newborn period. Conversely, the Demon Zerg nest, the Demon Flame Dragons cultivated here, hadn't completely crawled out of the cultivation sac, and were already roaring with newborn mucus all over their bodies.

Some Demon Flame Dragons sprayed dragon flames at the enemies below just after leaving the cultivation sac, while the newborn mucus on their bodies was still splashing everywhere.

What was even more terrifying was the Demon Zerg's bacterial carpet. This bacterial carpet had a biological energy conversion rate of over 85%. Normally, Zerg bacterial carpet having a conversion rate of 30–40% was already good, and reaching 50% was considered outstanding. Reaching 85% conversion utilization rate belonged to a unique one.

After the Silver Queen learned of these, she felt a burst of lingering fear, because she had seen Jila before. She once looked down on the small Zerg Queen beside that Law-Extinguishing Shadow, but after investigating the memory images in the "Zerg consciousness gathering place," she knew what a terrifying guy this was.

Of course, Jila was destined not to become the Zerg master of the myriad worlds, because other Zerg Queens would only fear her and would not follow her. But one point, Jila had a 99.9% probability of having no interest in becoming the Zerg master of the myriad worlds. Just the point of having to go out frequently was enough to persuade her to quit. Jila was the one who loved staying at home the least.

The reason Su Xiao didn't kill the Silver Queen but cooperated with the other party was that there were life ores underground here. Whether it was mining or converting it into pure life stones, the Silver Queen was more proficient.

Assuming Jila's ability in this regard was 5, then the Silver Queen was at least 100 or more. Conversely, if it was troop explosion and combat, the Silver Queen was completely not Jila's opponent.

"Oh, I understand. Your purpose of cooperating with me is to have enough life stones."

"That's right."

"How long will this cooperation last."

"One month."

"After the cooperation is completed, you will help me leave the Eternal Light World?"

"Not only that, there is also this reward."

Su Xiao took out a bottle of potion. This potion presented a translucent fluorescent purple. Just seeing this potion made the Silver Queen have a desire that went deep into her soul. She could be certain that this must be a potion prepared by a potion master specifically for the Zerg, and it was very likely that it could permanently increase the number of life origins of the Zerg Queen.

"This kind of potion, pay me at least 10 bottles."

"After the matter is done, pay you 20 bottles. This potion can be drunk for a long time. The single improvement range is not large, but it is stable."

"Oh? Don't leave some for your Zerg followers."

"……"

Su Xiao didn't speak. This was entirely considering the Silver Queen's mood, because Jila almost drank this thing as water. After drinking thousands of bottles, the improvement effect of this potion reached the limit.

After the cooperation was negotiated, Su Xiao pressed one hand on the summoning formation. After the light flourished, a small piece of fluorescent purple biological tissue appeared in the center of the summoning formation. Subsequently, this fluorescent purple biological tissue proliferated rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, a pile surged out. While forming a space vortex, the claws of Demon Zerg reached out and grabbed the surroundings of the space vortex.

A petite figure walked out of the space vortex. There were several very narrow light purple carapace on both sides of her neck, very smooth, close to the skin. Besides that, she was no different from the human race. It was Jila.

Jila's purple pupils looked at the Silver Queen. After understanding Jila's background, the Silver Queen became vigilant in her heart.

Light purple mental tentacles spread out behind Jila, very imposing, which made the Silver Queen narrow her eyes, as if facing a great enemy. Just at this time, Jila seemed to want to say something, however...

"Ha—"

Jila yawned, her eyes filled with tears. After she looked around in confusion, because she was in a strange environment, Jila didn't pay attention to the Silver Queen who was facing a great enemy at all, but came to Su Xiao's side, hid under the hem of the long leather coat, and then yawned again.

The Silver Queen, who was still maintaining the posture of facing a great enemy, had her eye corners twitch. She stared at Jila, no matter how she looked, she couldn't see that this was the legendary Zerg dominator Jila.

At this moment, the world-destroying groups in the Eternal Light World didn't know that the strongest Zerg combination in history had appeared, which was Jila's troop explosion and combat ability, plus the Silver Queen's resource and development ability.
