Chapter 280 - Superman Gardener, Deposing the Queen
Each lifeform had its own specialties, and especially for terrifying beings referred to as the pinnacle of cosmic bloodlines, like the Golden Saiyan Apes, the Flame Astral Behemoth, or the Void Behemoth, their specialties allowed them to run rampant and stand above the entire universe.
The strongest point of the Golden Saiyan Ape was their flesh.
Their physical potential was infinite and could get stronger indefinitely until they reach the end of their lives and die.
However, everyone knew that physical enhancement required extremely vast amounts of nutrients.
Just like the Saiyans in Dragon Ball, while their combat power was tyrannical, but they also needed to consume a lot of food, so almost every Saiyan is a glutton.
The Saiyans ingests the nutrients from food and transformed them into life energy inside their bodies, and the Golden Saiyan Apes were the same.
Golden Saiyan Apes could ingest nutrients from food, treasures of heaven and earth, treasures of the universe, and Dark Bio-energy before finally transforming them into life energy.
In short, what the Golden Saiyan Apes needed the most is life energy.
So, the Arcana Ling Jiu had just obtained was simply tailor-made for the Golden Saiyan Apes.
With this Arcana, not only could the Golden Saiyan Apes could convert Dark Bio-energy, but it could also convert solar, chemical, nuclear, electrical energies... and the like into the life energy it needed to enhance its body.
With this Arcana, the rate where the Golden Saiyan Ape would get stronger would greatly increase, far surpassing ordinary ultimate Golden Saiyan Ape warriors.
Ling Jiu did not hesitate and decisively gave the Golden Saiyan Ape clone that Arcana, and then sent the clone into his floating island.
The Dark Bio-energy on the floating island was very rich, with white mist everywhere, which were the Dar Bio-energy after atomization.
The moment the Golden Saiyan Ape clone entered the floating island, the surrounding white mist seemed to be drawn and gathered over automatically.
The moment they came into contact with the Golden Saiyan Ape clone, they were transformed his body into pure life energy.
The life energy inside the Golden Saiyan Ape clone was soaring, but the appetite of this body surpassed Ling Jiu's expectations as it took a whole hour before it stopped converting the Dark Bio-energy around it.
"The next thing to do is to consume them. "
Ling Jiu put the gravity bracelets on both the clones' hand, and then increased the gravity to 1000 times the gravity, yet the body still felt super relaxed.
No choice, 1500 times then!
Still relaxed.
Ling Jiu had to increase it to 2000 times, and only then did the clone felt a little strenuous.
Ling Jiu then saw the clone started to convert the Dark Bio-energy around it again.
Clearly, in order to resist such powerful gravity, the life energy in the body was being consumed continuously.
This was a good thing, as the body would only be enhanced as the life energy gets consumed.
"Train hard then!"
"Leoux, during the year in this asteroid belt, my floating island had expanded rapidly, but the planting of the Super Arcana Tree cannot keep up."
Ling Jiu told Leoux about his earlier troubles. "I want to raise a group of people in captivity, responsible for planting the Super Arcana Trees. What do you think?"
"This is naturally possible!"
Leoux smiled and said. "The planting of the Super Arcana Trees is very troublesome, especially when the floating island gets larger and larger, planting would be even more troublesome."
"So, if you have a group of people responsible for planting trees just like Mars, it will undoubtedly reduce your burden."
Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly. "Do you have any suitable candidates in mind?"
"I do think the Kryptonians are quite fetching."
Leoux smirked. "They have the ability to fly and the weakest of them were also a stellar lifeform. As long as he could capture a group of Kryptonians, and then enslave and brainwash them, turning them into gardeners sounds like a good choice."
"Kryptonians as gardeners?"
Ling Jiu licked his lips and said. "They will do well as gardeners, but catching them would be mind-wrecking."
"You're afraid?" Leoux said.
"Afraid? What nonsense!"
Ling Jiu snorted. "Let's do this!"
"Let's go then."
Leoux guffawed.
Ling Jiu was a decisive person, and he would act as soon as he decided on something. He got onto the Leoux and returned to Whitehole 3 before going to Ganymede through the wormhole.
Finally, he arrived at Europa, and through mind sensing, found the Merpeople Queen.
Like all of the sea creatures living in Europa's underground ocean, the Merpeople also lived on the floating mountains.
But unlike the sea creatures, the floating mountains where the Merpeople lived were very cl.u.s.tered, and the distance of each mountains was very close to one another.
Several formed a town.
Dozens of suspended mountains formed a city.
The royal city the Merpeople Queen was at was made out of hundreds of floating mountains, both large and small.
And these floating mountains surrounded around a small floating island in the middle, like the stars around the moon.
This floating mountain was very special, and the luminous plants of the mountain were blue, painting this mountain azure.
At the top of the mountain stood a castle, and this was the Merpeople's royal city.
However, when Ling Jiu teleported over to the royal city, the Merpeople Queen was in a bad situation.
He saw the Merpeople Queen was surrounded by dozens of Merpeople of all shapes and sizes in the palace hall of the royal city, and the atmosphere seemed to be rather tense.
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, as the Queen of the Merpeople, how great is your position? How can you submit to an outsider, and recognize him as your master?"
A powerful Merpeople with shark tail, but a human torso and shark fins on his back said coldly. "This is the greatest dishonour in the history of the Merpeople, as an Elder of the Council of Elders, please give me a satisfactory answer."
"Elder Tiger Shark..."
The Merpeople Queen was about to explain, and at this moment, a bald old man with octopus tentacles and a thin body trembled and said.
"For a hundred thousand years, the Merpeople have never encountered such a dishonorable incident before. Even when we were driven out from our homeworld by the outlander demons 150 years ago, we had never submitted."
The octopus elder pointed at the Merpeople Queen as he trembled slightly and was out of breath, seemingly he would keel over at any moment.
"But what about you, Your Majesty? When you went out for that expedition, you had placed the Merpeople in such a predicament for an outsider?"
"Your Majesty, the Council of Elders had spoken, and now we give you two choices."
"First, return to Earth immediately, and kill that human, and redeem yourself; second, abdicate the throne yourself, and allow the the Council of Elders to choose your successor."
A crabman said coldly. "Your Majesty, you should know that the Council of Elders have the right to remove you from power. This is the highest authority given to us by the laws of the Merpeople."
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty..."
The other elders of the Council of Elders all spoke, they were either reprimanding, mourning, or admonishing... as they pointed all of their fingers at the Merpeople Queen.
The Merpeople Queen's delicate body trembled, but she was helpless.
In terms of strength, the elders from the Council of Elders were no weaker than her; in terms of seniority, these elders were all Merpeople that had survived the trials of time, and in terms of righteousness of their cause, the elders were not wrong.
"Elders."
The Merpeople Queen said. "I am master's servant, and this will never change. But I know I cannot continue to become Queen, so..."
"So on and so forth!"
