Carefree Path of Dreams Chapter 987 - Commencement

Chapter 987: Commencement

To the Zerg, an empress was equivalent to the commander of an army.
Moreover, this ability was far above a commander-in-chief. If humans were to send out equal forces to carry out army-level operations, the Zerg Empress would definitely win.
This was because its micro-manipulation ability was extremely precise, and the Zerg coordinated extremely well, better than any strictly-trained army.
Therefore, the best strategy against them was to ‘behead’ this brain!
An army would become a bunch of lost bugs once they lost their brilliant commander-in-chief. The consequences were even more severe with the Zerg.
Therefore, the Human Alliance dealt with the Zerg by seeking out the empresses at all costs and sending their elite mechas to behead them!
What Fang Yuan did was more excessive.
The Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists had to attack the flesh nests forcibly once they found the entrance.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, managed to sneak past the guards all the way to the empress!
At this point, she could only bow to her fate.
A few Zerg King guards were desperately trying to fend off the invader.
But the next moment, they retreated and bowed respectfully to the Zerg Empress.
The flower fairy smiled the innocent smile of a young girl and bowed toward Fang Yuan. “Master!”
“Hmm, do you have a name?”
Of course, Fang Yuan would not kill the Zerg Empress in one strike, causing chaos among the Zerg and announcing his uninvited arrival on this planet.
His approach was to use his Demon God power to forcibly break through the psyche of the Zerg Empress, thereby controlling her.
Controlling the Zerg Empress meant controlling all of the Zerg on this planet.
“It should be Wendy if I translate it from the cosmic lifeform language!” the Zerg Empress replied sweetly, carrying a natural charm with every move she made.
However, any desire evaporated once her huge squirming body came into view.
“Okay, I’ll call you Wendy too!” Fang Yuan smiled.
Controlling Wendy was an impromptu move. Of course, the model was the Spiritual Will Steel Seal left by Da Qian’s Shang Hou.
This method had its limits and flaws, but he had already advanced to Myriad Transformations Demon God. It was nothing to change the externals of a building, and he now had another ability for enslaving others.
After seizing command, Fang Yuan ordered impolitely, “Go and bring all the psionic crystals you’ve mined on this planet to me!”
“Yes… Master…”
Wendy reluctantly handed over the psionic crystal in her hand with a pitiful look on her face.
Crunch!
Fang Yuan took it and unrestrainedly swallowed it. He saw her eyes filled to the brim with tears, and his face turned red, feeling the guilt of snatching away a little girl’s candy.
“Okay, okay, you can have the rest after I have my fill!”
Wendy and her Zerg were now part of his forces, so he naturally had to take care of them.
“Okay!”
Wendy smiled happily and commanded a Zerg King to bring psionic crystals of high purity.
Fang Yuan ate one after another. Wendy stuck out her little tongue. “Master has such a good appetite! Don’t you need to digest it? Your appetite is bigger than Wendy’s. Are you also a Zerg Empress?”
Fang Yuan ignored her and continued his meal.
Finally, Wendy said pitifully, “The ores in the store are all gone!”
“Mmmm!”
He glanced subconsciously at his stats window. He saw a few more symbols after his Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique and understood what it meant at first glance.
“Breaking through the bottleneck: 10%? I need another nine more servings then!”
“What? Nine more servings? These were the ores we accumulated after a few months on this planet!” Wendy exclaimed immediately. “Even I can’t digest so much, which was why I stored them in the nest. There will be none left for the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance when they come since Master will have finished everything!”
The psionic crystals from this planet naturally could not just be enjoyed by the Zerg Empress. After all, there were so many other cosmic lifeforms and the Gaias People.
In fact, a Zerg Empress of her size could not digest that much either.
Fang Yuan exhausted the reserves on this planet for just ten percent of the requirement for his breakthrough.
“When are they coming?” he asked.
“Ten cycles of the planet!” Wendy replied confidently.
“I see!” Fang Yuan nodded and started asking about the Seven Emotions Overmind.
The Human Alliance had also made inquiries into the Seven Emotions Overmind. Unfortunately, they had obtained very little information, and it was ambiguous and inconclusive.
“Seven Emotions Overmind?!” Wendy’s little face was apprehended by horror. “It’s a mutation of the Zerg. It was originally a normal Zerg drone, but it continuously evolved until it finally devoured its empress!”
Zerg Empresses had absolute control over their tribes.
Whether slaves killed their slave owners or ancient peasants rebelled and killed their emperors, society did not tolerate it.
The Seven Emotions Overmind was naturally held in hostility by the other Zerg Empresses.
But it was too powerful, so none of them dared to make any noise.
“Also, that Seven Emotions Overmind looks down on us Zerg. It is now very close to the Gaias People and helps them make breakthroughs in their technology…” Wendy said angrily, clearly resentful about that Overmind.
Fang Yuan expressed his understanding.
The Seven Emotions Overmind itself was a master of the Zerg. It could produce Seven Emotions Zerg and create a large tribe by itself.
It represented the majority of the Zerg’s combat power, giving rise to its disdain for the Zerg Empresses.
On the contrary, with the Gaias People, it would make rapid progress in strength as long as there were technological breakthroughs. Of course, it preferred to join forces with them to make full use of its Demon God experience.
“Very good. You continue to mine here and wait for my order!”
With a Zerg Empress on his side, the battle ahead seemed more positive. When necessary, it was possible to open the defense line directly. Of course, it should be well-protected and not leaked out immediately.
Fang Yuan piloted his Blood Dragon Thearch toward his next target.
With Wendy as his insider, he knew quite well which planets had Zerg Empresses.
He could repeat his previous steps and conquer them one-by-one. He would even obtain an immense amount of psionic crystals, so why would he not do it?
On a black planet, a dozen hours later.
“I’ve enslaved four empresses and devoured only about half of what’s necessary. I have to work harder…”
Fang Yuan entered a Zerg nest with familiarity and saw the huge Zerg Empress body and the flower fairy.
But the moment he was about to lay his hands on her, a creepy feeling came over him, spreading all over his body.
“This is…”
He stared at the exquisite face of the flower fairy with a faint expression in his eyes.
Finally, he found an illusionary Zerg on her head.
This Zerg had a human face and a weird smile. It grabbed the head of the Zerg Empress and burrowed itself into her.
“Shit! The Seven Emotions Overmind got to it first!”
Fang Yuan left quietly and analyzed the situation.
As a great Demon God who had traveled through many worlds, it would be strange for the Abominable Lord not to have a few abilities in enslavement.
Moreover, the reason why he did not care about the Zerg was that he had controlled a portion of the Zerg Empresses!
If he continued to grow, it would not be long before all the Zerg Empresses were under his control.
“Fortunately… he’s doing it slowly for some reason, perhaps for covert purposes? However, I’ll be able to find out immediately if he touches those Zerg Empresses under my control.”
Fang Yuan returned to the Blood Dragon Thearch and signaled without hesitation. “It’s time to start!”
The accident he encountered this time also served as a warning to him.
Any cheap trick held the possibility of being discovered.
True strength would still do the talking on the battlefield!
…
In a faraway space…
A large number of human fleets assembled.
Numerous mechas were in the fleet, most of which were the Blood Dragon series.
Beep! Beep!
“We’ve received Lin Meng’s signal and the defense map of the Devil Galaxy!”
Venerable Three Star sent the map to the fleet commander.
“The Gaias People are monitoring the surroundings of the Devil Galaxy. Surprise attacks are impossible. The only thing that we can do is to attack aggressively straight into them!”
Augustus had a solemn face as he waved the hand of his Wings of the Sun God. “Attack! Humanity must win!”
“Victory!”
“Victory!!!”
…
Swoosh!
The giant star cannon that straddled the star sector fell into the periphery of the Devil Galaxy.
Kaboom!
In space, many surveillance satellites instantly exploded. The signal tower behind them issued a dazzling red alert.
Buzz buzz!
Numerous wormholes opened. Zerg Empresses, cosmic lifeforms, and the fleets and mechas of Gaias People emerged, quickly assembling a huge front.
Starships confronted each other; mechas were crossing into enemy territory.
In that instant…
Countless cannons opened fire, spreading explosions all over space. Several nearby planets exploded into dust.
In this intense interstellar war, the lower-grade mechas turned into scrap metal almost immediately. Only the high-grade mechas could soar into space to fight the Gaias People and all kinds of cosmic behemoths.
“Augustus!” The Cosmic Thearch appeared in the Gaias People’s army. “The Human Alliance will perish because of your stupidity!”
“You’re wrong. Victory will be ours!”
The Wings of the Sun God moved forward, emitting terrifying light and heat, as though it were a tiny sun itself.
