Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 986: Empress

A few months later, in the Blood Dragon Research Institute.

It might be newly built, but this research institute was much larger than the previous one. Right in the middle was the Blood Dragon Thearch with many metal supports surrounding it.

Fang Yuan and Fu Hongxue were walking on a suspension bridge.

Fang Yuan smiled and spoke first. “Still Time’s arcane spell array and Immortal Sword Tactics’s Dao Pattern have been inscribed on the mecha thanks to your help, Professor!”

“You flatter me... I merely assisted. Master Lin Meng was the one who personally completed the inscriptions...”

Fu Hongxue was now completely in awe of Fang Yuan.

He was embarrassed that his inscription skills for both arcane spells and immortal techniques on the same mecha could not compare to Fang Yuan. Though, he felt it strange why Fang Yuan did so.

It was impossible to practice the Arcane and cultivation concurrently. Fu Hongxue might be smart, but under a fixed mindset, it was difficult for him to get rid of this misconception, and he could only treat it as Fang Yuan’s bad taste.

“The Blood Dragon Thearch’s maintenance is complete. What about the other Blood Dragons?”

“After a series of modifications, most of them can perfectly achieve Emperor-grade performance. As long as we inscribe them with suitable Dao Patterns for the pilots, we can dispatch them at any time!”

Fu Hongxue knew that there was no difference whether he gave the Dao Pattern inscriptions and the arcane spell information to Fang Yuan or not.

Fang Yuan would do most of the inscriptions himself anyway.

It might be slightly disadvantageous, but there was no other way around it if they wanted to firm up their combat power as soon as possible.

“We have five hundred modified Blood Dragons, and each of them can be piloted now... In addition, there are six hundred that we can remotely operate!”

While these unmanned mechas would not be able to match the combined power of human and mecha, they were still very qualified as high-end cannon fodder.

“For you to be able to manufacture more than a thousand of them within such a short time, it seems like the desire of humans to counterattack is very strong.” Fang Yuan touched his chin thoughtfully.

“This is natural... After all, our Alliance is in more trouble with every passing day that our enemy has the Devil Galaxy!” Fu Hongxue looked solemn. “The military has decided to start the offensive on the Devil Galaxy. We’ll have to rely on your power this time!”

“Don’t worry!” Fang Yuan agreed.

...

All actions had to be even faster in the interstellar era.

There was no other choice!

Knowing the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance, the Zerg Empresses were probably mining the ores available on the planets as quickly as possible.

The Cosmic Lifeform Alliance would be continuously evolving if this dragged out. It might not be impossible to breed a few more kings like the Seven Emotions Overminds!

This forced the Human Alliance to have to attack as soon as possible.

...

The edge of the Devil Galaxy.

In the dark universe, a blood-red figure slowly approached.

“The Gaias People have set up a rigorous defense outside the galaxy. Our battleships are too large, so we’ll have to rely on mechas to sneak in!”

Fang Yuan piloted the Blood Dragon Thearch while staring at a screen. In front of him, there was a glowing green planet.

He could vaguely see many firefly-like Zerg drones in the planet’s orbit, seemingly surveying the situation.

“There must be rich resources on this planet if the Zerg are here!”

When he saw this, Fang Yuan moved forward.

His purpose for coming to this world was for the psionic crystals so that he could advance his Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique.

He might be able to access many Blood Dragon mechas in the Human Alliance, but it would be impossible for him to take all of Blood Dragon reactors for himself unless he were to fall out completely with humanity. In this case, he would never be able to achieve his goal.

The Blood Dragons were pseudo Emperor-grade mechas, so it might not be enough even if he were to obtain all of them.

The value of psionic crystals was also beginning to rise with the fall of the Devil Galaxy.

Many mechas required them to continue operating after all. Their position as a strategic resource was increasingly important for humanity.

Fang Yuan’s current collaboration with the alliance would likely not be able to yield the amount that he required.

As such, he might as well come to the Devil Galaxy and grab them himself, which could also be considered as fulfilling his promise to participate in this war.

While thinking about this, he continued closing in on the planet.

With the Blood Dragon Thearch’s scanning ability, he could already see many green Zerg in the planet’s orbit, looking like giant eyes.

They were suspended in space, motionless, but had a unique aura.

“Satellite Zerg? A type of drone dedicated to the surveillance of a planet?” Fang Yuan recognized them immediately.

These Zerg were surveyors sprinkled along the orbit by a Zerg Empress. They could detect any signs of danger and immediately send a message to the Zerg Empress.

After some thought, he activated a certain mecha ability. “Invisibility!”

The huge Blood Dragon Thearch’s eyes flashed red, and the mecha gleamed with light.

Light distorted, seeming like a black hole was devouring light, and the huge body gradually turned transparent.

“I have to say that Fu Hongxue is really something. These additional functions he added to the Blood Dragon Thearch are really practical!”

The Blood Dragon Thearch flew past the numerous green eyes. These Zerg seemed to be blind, allowing him to move through easily.

Soon, the mecha broke into the atmosphere and came to an aquamarine planet.

Poisonous gas and radiation storms were everywhere here. The environment was extremely harsh.

“Planet L-719 was originally a mine in the Devil Galaxy belonging to humanity. There are three developed mining areas!”

A mind-boggling amount of information appeared on the screen. There was even a map of the planet.

After determining the location, Fang Yuan flew to one of the mines without hesitation.

The detection and mining of psionic crystals were very difficult, even for the Zerg. Therefore, they were bound to use the existing mines the humans had developed.

If all was well, a Zerg Empress would be guarding them.

“Here, the first mine!”

The first mine was in sight ten minutes later.

Fang Yuan flew up into midair and observed the movements along the mining area through the mecha’s telescope.

On top of a ruin.

Immense numbers of black Zerg were constantly drilling in and out the mines like hard-working ants.

The Zerg Empress had obviously evolved them for this purpose. They had a large jaw and six sturdy limbs, and they bit the hard ores into pieces with their mouths.

They mined and gathered the small crystal ores in front of several Zerg Kings.

There were also special Zerg swinging their big bellies, devouring these ores, and finally spitting out high-purity psionic crystals.

“The mining speed of these Zerg are not at all inferior to that of humans with their machines... In particular, these cosmic lifeforms might even be stimulated by the psionic crystals and undergo explosive growth. No wonder the Human Alliance panicked when they lost the Devil Galaxy!” Fang Yuan thought silently.

At that moment, a Zerg King flew up with a huge psionic crystal in its mouth.

The blue luster made his eyes move as he followed it secretly.

As expected, the Zerg King was heading for the second mine.

There were many times more Zerg here than the previous mine.

An enormous spherical flesh nest was within the mining area, and numerous Zerg drones crawled in and out.

“Zerg Empress?” Fang Yuan’s eyes glittered.

Each of these Zerg Empresses was an independent leader of their tribes, holding the fate of the Zerg.

Their psyche strength was extremely powerful. Just like a smart-brain, they could manipulate all aspects of their entire tribe, and their wisdom was unparalleled.

Of course, their brain nucleus was also an indispensable raw material for refining high-tier brain development drugs.

Fang Yuan climbed out from the Blood Dragon Thearch, still invisible, and followed the Zerg King into the flesh nest.

“In addition to psyche strength, their most important identification method is using pheromones! Ha! Major Chiliocosm Illusion Art!”

His original scent disappeared, replaced with a pheromone no different from the Zerg.

In this way, his intrusion into the flesh nest would encounter no hindrances.

He saw blood-red walls of flesh and pulsating blood vessels covering the entire nest. There were also the occasional Zerg embryo and elite Zerg patrols. It was more horrifying than any maze.

Fang Yuan was well-prepared, and he followed the aura from the Zerg King no matter the changes in the nest maze.

The Zerg King finally turned into a deep area of the maze and cried out.

A sense of joy transmitted, shaking the entire flesh nest with excitement. This was obviously the will of the Zerg Empress.

Fang Yuan followed in without hesitation.

An enormous cave came into view.

The most striking thing was the giant silkworm-like Zerg constantly squirming and producing eggs from its rear.

The drones mechanically scooped up the eggs away to be hatched.

There was a throne on top of the giant silkworm.

A young girl with the appearance of a flower fairy and joy in her eyes held the huge psionic crystal in her hand, making chewing sounds as though she were eating candy.

“Empress?!”

“What an interesting lifeform. Its mind and physical body are actually separate! The flower fairy is the condensation of its psyche, and the giant white silkworm below is her body!”

He went up to her.

A white jade-like palm suddenly emerged from thin air and pressed against the head of the flower fairy!

Chi! Chi!

The giant white silkworm below was shocked, and the entire nest was about to go berserk!
