Chapter 1114: 17.41 Fourth Violet Star - Planet Zerg
In the Planet Zerg...
the primary planet on which the insect race is found. The entire star resembles a ma.s.sive hive where the bug race hierarchy is strictly distributed into layers. The strongest people reside in the planet"s inside, while those with lower levels reside in the hive"s exterior.
Most of the Zerg Kings, Queens, Princes, and Princesses resided in the innermost region. They could shrink and grow back to their original size at command and had a humanoid form. At the center of the hive, there is a palace that has been built. The royal family resides here.
at one of the verandas with a view of the zergs below the floor butchering the captured humans. A man was sipping his iced milk tea while donning black-and-red robes and having half of his face hidden by a mask. His lengthy hair was styled in mermaid tail braids behind his back. Even the cries of the people below him seemed to have no impact on him as if he had no sympathy for them. Chaos, the person Ca.s.sius Ambrosia met in the previous universe, is this man.
A humanoid wasp is seated on the other side of him. This Zerg Wasp has a human body on half of its body and a bee body on the other. He saw the butchering of humanity beneath the balcony as she ate a bowl of human blood.
"Ah~ save me! I don"t want to die!"
"It hurts. It hurts! Ahhh!!!"
"No. No. Don"t cut me! No! Don"t chop... argh!!!"
The area is filled with these cries of pain and fear. In such a wide open s.p.a.ce, a horrible scene of people being cut to death, drained of their blood, and skinned was taking place. Those that were taken outside on the Zerg Planet were treated like livestock. Human body parts were the main meat being offered in the market stalls on the aforementioned planet. Of course, the Zergs were among the purchasers.
Since Chaos resembles a person, no Zerg has the courage to approach him or treat him like food. He wasn"t a human, and everyone in the Bug Race knew it. When he initially landed on the planet, he was the one who gave them a gift of a number of living humans.
His first sentence when he first arrived on the Zerg Planet,
"I will help you get stronger but I want you to kill the Imperium"s Grand Marshal for me!"
He was granted his wish, as the Insect Race entered the stage of evolution where all Royal Ranked Zergs had attained SSS-ranked strength and had even evolved into humanoids. One of the Zerg Queens, the Bee Queen, who has given birth to tens of thousands of Zerg bees every month, is the one standing in front of Chaos. She is currently watching for her King to emerge from seclusion.
"Buzz~ Lord Chaos, can this humble slave ask why you wish for the death of the Grand Marshal of the Human Race?" The Zerg Bee Queen asked.
Chaos"s lips curled in a smile as he added some sugar to his cup while mixing it slowly with a spoon. He replied, "Didn"t the Insect Race hate the Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian of the Human Race? I just gave you an opportunity to kill him. As for the reason why I want him dead... he keeps confusing me. It"s so annoying that I wanted him gone for good. Isn"t this reason enough for his death?"
"Buzz~ You are so powerful. Buzz! Can"t you kill him yourself?" The Bee Zerg Queen asked.
Chaos responded, "That is also true. But if I push him too much the other me would wake up. If possible I don"t want to fight him at my current strength."
"Other you?"
Regrettably, Chaos didn"t respond to the Bee Zerg Queen and stopped speaking. The newly Sentient Bee Zerg knew when to stop and not ask any more questions. They sipped their individual cups of drinks alone.

Back to Planet Terra,
In the headquarters" living room...
The area fell silent and became uncomfortable. When Silvan von Rosegard discovered what his cousin was thinking, he was greatly saddened. He couldn"t really dislike him, but he felt disappointed anyway. After all, he had given Megan Sh.e.l.ley everything he had ever owned since they were little, and his family had always regarded him as a member of the family. Why Megan Sh.e.l.ley would still think the family had rejected him baffled him.
Zane Lin, as if reading Silvan von Rosegard"s mind, commented, "Even if you give everything you have to someone, he would never feel that it was his in the first place. After all, you gave it to him, it was his. For a person who desires family and loves all for himself, he would feel a lot more selfish than the rest and wouldn"t feel satisfaction until he got everything he wanted or destroyed everything of yours. So don"t blame yourself. The fault is with him, not yours."
"Silvie, he is right. It was not your fault. Moreover, he is gone." The Second Prince said.
Zane Lin said, "That system said the soul of Megan Sh.e.l.ley was destroyed when this world reversed its timeline. He can never be reincarnated."
"There is no need to worry about the dead. Just live your life as you please. Instead, there is something I wanted to ask you guys. What is the relationship between the Grand Marshal and my younger brother, Yara von Chrysalis?" t.i.tus von Chrysalis asked.
Silvan von Rosegard honestly answered, "I"m sorry. I don"t know much. Moreover, I"m afraid of the Grand Marshal so I never approach them."
"I don"t know what their relationship is. But the one who cured my Imperial Uncle"s Mania is said to be Student Yara. Ever since they met at my young brother"s banquet the Grand Marshal had brought Student Yara home. For some reason, he also lived in the Grand Duke"s Palace ever since then. They would eat their meals together, and the Imperial Uncle would send him to school and pick him up every day. That"s all I know. I only call him Aunt-in-law because the whole family approved of him including my Imperial Father." Explained the Second Prince.
He is unaware of the relationship between the Grand Marshal and Yara von Chrysalis, but his spies reported that the two are practically inseparable, particularly his Imperial Uncle. Also, according to his Imperial Father, his elder brother had finally found the one. Yet, the Grand Marshal and Student Yara have never made their relationship known to anyone.
t.i.tus von Chrysalis"s smile started to disappear. The treasure of their clan is the one the Grand Marshal dares to touch, after all. If his family didn"t support him, it would be difficult for the Grand Marshal to stick by his younger brother"s side.
t.i.tus von Chrysalis mumbled, "It seems I have to go home soon and report about this to the clan." He stood up preparing to leave but suddenly turned around and smiled at Zane Lin, "Sweetie~ I see you again next time~"
A water-poppy fairy materialized right before the three students" eyes and vanished as though the water had evaporated instantly. This tiny fairy is t.i.tus von Chrysalis"s quantum beast, and he has the ability to teleport through any waterscape.
t.i.tus von Chrysalis resurfaced as a sizable water droplet fell on the river somewhere in the woodland, revealing t.i.tus and his quantum beast. He was able to summon a spare s.p.a.ceship by pressing a few b.u.t.tons on his terminal. He boarded the s.p.a.cecraft and prepared to depart from Planet Terra.
Water Poppy Fairy asked, "Master, is there no need to say goodbye to the King?"
"Even if I wanted to, I can"t even see him with that guardian beast protecting him in his sleep. Moreover, the problem is that the Grand Marshal had seen Xiao Ya"s other form. This is urgent news that must be reported to the clan. As for whether the Grand Marshal will survive in the end, it depends on his strength. Let"s go home." t.i.tus von Chrysalis rode in the s.p.a.ceship and left the planet.
Only those who were beyond human noticed his departure and General Nimbus von Gretel who received a message from him knew his leave.
In one of the rooms at the headquarters...
t.i.tus von Chrysalis" departure from Planet Terra was reported by the systems. System Yue and System Yang have been instructed by The G.o.d of Void to stay vigilant of everything around them ever since the Heavenly Laws mentioned the presence of Chaos. Any movement made by anything nearby. Therefore, the two systems were aware of t.i.tus von Chrysalis" departure.
System Yue reported, [Milord, the elder brother of Lord Hei"s incarnation left the Planet. He must be on his way home to report personally to his clan.]
The Grand Marshal caressed Yara"s cheeks lightly and said, "Let him be. They can"t do anything to me anyway. Try to investigate more about this being called Chaos."
[Yes, my lord (Lord G.o.d)!] System Yue and System Yang saluted as they left to do their tasks.
The G.o.d of Void calls, "Warden Lou and Warden Yun."
"At your service, Milord!"
"Warden Yun shall return to the Main Star to appease the voices that would come out due to the incident. Everything had been seen, no need to make excuses and solve it as soon as possible." The Grand Marshal said.
Dean Frey von Gregory said, "Yes, this warden shall complete everything."
"Bring those brats outside with you. You may leave." The Grand Marshal said.
While Adjutant Kir von Giselle waited for his tasks to be a.s.signed, Dean Frey von Gregory left after obtaining his a.s.signment. The Grand Marshal also a.s.signed him his next job, as was to be expected.
"Warden Lou, go back to the military and prepare for war. Clean up all traces of Zerg in the Main Star and ask for the help of Warden Yun if necessary. Tell the Emperor that it is my order." The Grand Marshal said.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle asked, "Is the Insect Race involved with that man called Chaos, my lord?"
"The Insect Race isn"t supposed to be above S-ranked in this B-cla.s.s world. But the strength of the Zerg King my wife had killed just now was about to evolve to SS-ranked. Obviously, someone is helping the Zerg race to evolve. In this world, that possibly can only be done by a G.o.d that"s from beyond. The world that heavenly laws had mentioned. This man called Chaos might be the one behind it." The Grand Marshal said.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle was a little perplexed considering that, as far as he was aware, they had not even witnessed this Chaos. Only Ca.s.sius Ambrosia from the previous universe is known to have encountered him. Even though his lord wasn"t even there, this man fled more quickly than the rabbit.
"But my lord, this Chaos... have you met him before? Why does he seem to be targeting the lord?" asked Adjutant Kir von Giselle.
The Grand Marshal didn"t respond right away and let out a tired sigh before saying, "I"m not yet sure about Chaos"s ident.i.ty, but I had some guesses. If he is the man whom I think he is then... it is only normal for him to hate this lord. Don"t ask further. Go do your task."
"As you command, Milord!"
Adjutant Kir von Giselle eventually left the area as well, leaving just the Grand Marshal, who had never taken his eyes off of Yara"s form. n.o.body knew what he was thinking, but the man in front of him seemed to be the only thing in his world.
The Grand Marshal mumbled, "Is the reason your memories of this world are lacking because of that man? Did he take away the memories that you are supposed to remember? Don"t worry, even with or without memories my love for you remains. I will give you everything in this world. Anything you wanted. No one will be able to harm you anymore, my Jing"er." He gently kissed Yara"s thin hands while holding them as if he were honoring the man who was dozing off on the bed.
"Sleep well, my love~"
