1133 17.60 Fourth Violet Star - Chrysalis Psyche
The war continues...
The six Zergs with Royal rankings went up against Adjutant Kir von Giselle and Dean Frey von Gregory. As there are only two of them, it was difficult to repel every onslaught without utilizing their divine powers. The world itself normally forbade them from employing their original strength, but after getting approval from this World"s Heavenly Laws, their constraints on their souls were lifted. The only thing they need to watch out for is their vessel overloading and collapsing from the extreme disparity between their body and soul.
Only by expertly managing the divinity housed within their body can they ensure that their vessel won"t burst. The two of them were sufficient to repel the Royalty of these Zergs despite their restraint, but their bodies were unable to withstand a single blow that would have killed them.
The parasitic couple is the first pair Adjutant Kir von Giselle and Dean Frey von Gregory aim after. This is to stop their own side from falling under the grip of the Zerg race and being wiped out by members of their own race. It"s enough that the Queen Mother be an ally of the adversary. They have already lost an entire n.o.ble tribe that upholds the earth with just her and her.
As soon as Dean Frey von Gregory entered the fray, his opponent was subtly restrained with a red-string weapon. Before capturing its prey, it was nearly undetectable and obedient to the orders of his Master. Yizhi, the soul weapon of Warden Yun, is this red string. The name Yizhi means Restrain. When he was the G.o.d of Fate, he used to have influence over something that tied up a mortal"s fate, love, or even foes.
Even though the six Zergs struggled, it was nearly difficult for them to escape with their human forms once they were all entangled in his strings.
"What. This. String. Who. Dares!?"
The Zerg King had just finished speaking. The Zerg King Millipede was present, and although his natural impulse is to curl up when faced with danger, the thread is making him incredibly uncomfortable. These humanoid Zergs can only communicate by using fragments of words because they are unable to speak human language clearly.
Thankfully, Dean Frey and Adjutant Kir didn"t have him in their sights. They began by attacking the Parasite King Zerg, a little Zerg King present in the group. Since all of these Zergs were in their human forms, even the Parasite King Zerg seems to be smaller than the other men, and the two wardens" brains are already preoccupied with the subsystem, it is impossible for them to misidentify him.
Subsystems of Dean Frey von Gregory and Adjutant Kir von Giselle both spoken, [Affirmative. The smallest male in the group. He is the Parasite Zerg King.]
The two wardens" a.s.sault is uncomplicated. Warden Lou attacks or captures while Warden Yun restrains. It"s the same this time. While the Warden Lou flew in the direction of the goal, the Parasite King and the others were restrained. The Adjutant Kir von Giselle"s hands held a dark spear. The majority of them believed it was concealed in his s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton, although Chuankong is actually his Soul Weapon. Chuankong"s name translates to Soul Piercer.
"N-No. Why... Me!? Gyaaa~"
The Parasite Zerg King"s entire body erupted into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist. Everyone was in a state of shock and amazement. The Centipede Zerg Queen had lost her mind. It was she who lost a spouse and a partner.
KRIEEKYAAA~
"KILL. I. KILL. YOU!!!"
Next to the Parasite Zerg King, a female humanoid screamed inhumanely. The female humanoid was replaced by a huge spider monster as it turned into its true form, yet the red rope encircling it remained intact.
KRIEEKYAAA!!!
"Can"t. Escape. This. What. Arghh!!!"
No matter how much the enormous spider monster flexed, the crimson string would not budge from its position. The other Zerg kings and queen saw the Parasite Zerg King die, and they believed they would follow if they didn"t break free of this string. Adjutant Kir von Giselle, who recently dispatched the Parasite King Zerg, now turns his attention to the Mother Spider Zerg.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle mumbled, "You can"t escape."
He raised his golden spear this time and flung it at the Mother Spider Zerg. The enormous egg sac that the dying Spider Queen Zerg gave birth to shattered in midair, allowing thousands of Spider Zergs to be produced from it. The baby spiders scatter after exploding into many pieces of flesh to consume their mother"s corpse and rapidly increase in size.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle, upon spotting this, conjured a few tornadoes to destroy the spider zerg before they finished evolving. Many Sentient Beings also hunted these baby spiders, but many of them still managed to escape and flee to where the humans were.
Due to their recent birth, baby Spider Zergs are vicious and almost insatiably hungry. Even after devouring their mother"s corpse, this wasn"t enough to satisfy their need. Yet, the Second Prince"s leadership prevented the human race from being exploited. He summoned all soldiers who had mastery over the elements of wind and fire. These young spiders were burned alive before they could pierce the Banyan tree branches.
Shrieks~ KRIEEKK~
Christopher Klein von Imperlian gestured in the frontlines, "Once more! Attack at the same time recall the balance of Elements! Fire!!!"
Adjutant Kir and Dean Frey turned their attention back to the other Zerg Kings and Queen after determining that the Baby Spiders were under control. The crimson string was still holding them in place, immobile. Chaos, who was taking in the performance and sipping his tea while using the clouds as his mat and table, remarked on the dull scenario.
"Yizhi"s unique ability is that the more its target struggles the more it tightens. Be motionless and halt your heartbeat as you pretend to be dead that would let you go~."
The former G.o.d of Fate glanced at Chaos as if he couldn"t believe that he understood the secret to his Soul Weapon and was astounded by his comments. Except for the one person who a.s.sisted him in improving this weapon, n.o.body else is supposed to know.
Dean Frey von Gregory exclaims, "IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!?"
But before he could respond, he only caught a glimpse of the masked figure grinning mischievously as the four Zerg Kings and Queens managed to escape the Yizhi (red strings). The four of them took on their former shape once more. A ma.s.sive Zerg Queen Bee guarded the sky, but a Zerg King Wasp was flying. Two enormous Zergs sprang from the earth. The first is a Centipede Zerg Queen, and the second is a Millipede Zerg King. They are quite long, and if they wanted to, they could even encircle Imperium Star"s capitol.
Although they had just witnessed Adjutant Kir von Giselle instantly kill the Mother Zerg Queen, which turned into a small rain of flesh and blood that was immediately consumed by the Baby Spiders, the Human Race regarded this scene with pale faces as if they couldn"t believe seeing such four enormous creatures. The auras the four Zergs are releasing, however, are reminiscent of the Grand Marshal"s presence, and they are all greater than the other three.
Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian muttered in shock, "Four SSS-ranked Royal Zergs?"
"Four!? Including the two who were killed by Lord Giselle, there are six of them! How come there are too many SSS-ranked Zergs!? Didn"t the Grand Marshal kill the Royal Pair a few years ago!?" An old minister exclaimed he himself couldn"t believe that there were six existence that can contend with the Grand Marshal who is the only SSS-ranked warrior in Imperium Star.
An official commented, "Hold on. Just now Dean Frey and Lord Giselle killed two Zerg King and Queen. Doesn"t that mean their strength is also SSS-ranked or even above?!"
"If so... How powerful is the Grand Marshal right now? Beyond SSS-ranked is G.o.d"s Level."
Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian noticed the changes on the battlefield and immediately sent more support to drag and heal those who were injured.
"Send more Mediators on the frontline! Follow the command of the Second Son of the Rosegard Clan. Have the Royal Knight protect the Mediators!"
"But Your Majesty who will protect you!?"
"I don"t need it! The Main Palace is the safest palace unless that wall falls! Follow this Emperor"s command, and support the warrior on the front. Make sure to keep them alive!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!" The Royal Knights led by Stephen von Rosegard kneeled before the Emperor and took the lead of the rest of the Royal Knights to support the warrior in front.
The other low-level Zerg that were attacking without a strategy and merely using their sheer numbers as an advantage abruptly stopped after the other four Zerg Kings and Queens revealed their real selves. The next battle would be different from the last one now that there is a commander among the Zergs.

The next battle would be different from the last one now that there is a commander among the Zergs.
The Divine Sentient Banyan Tree and Heavenly Marigold Fairy G.o.d stood before the Old Oak, Little Bing"er, Old Pine, and other Sentient Beings capable of becoming human. They respected them since they were older and stronger than them, but they weren"t as subservient to them as they had been to their King.
They"ve collectively said, {We art willing to hark to the "rd"rs of the divine ones! prithee giveth us thy commandeth!}
Translation: [We are willing to listen to the orders of the Divine Ones! Please give us your command!]
The Banyan Tree G.o.d responded, {Scatt"r. One to attacketh and one to supp"rt. Focus on the low-level"d ones. The kings and queens of z"rgs shall beest handles by our mast"rs.}
Translation: [Scatter. One to attack and one to support. Focus on the low-level ones. The Kings and Queens of Zergs will be handled by our Masters.]
Heavenly Marigold Flower Gold gave a few of his flowers and said, {A bawbling blessing to thee all. This shall preventeth any z"rgs below SSS-rank"d to did approach and block one attacketh from an SSS-rank"d pow"r. May the vict"ry beest ours!}
Translation: [A small blessing to you all. This will prevent any Zergs below SSS-ranked from approaching and block one attack from an SSS-ranked power. May the victory be ours!]
Only Jace Green von Imperlian was a human when he stood before the Sentient Being, yet the two G.o.ds didn"t reject him. Instead, they were a little taken aback. This human infant and the Venerable Lord have a karma connection. The King allowed them to select their masters, and this Venerable Lord is even more powerful than their Masters. They were compelled to bow down before this human child.
"This Banyan (Marigold) greets the young lord who has a fate with the King!"
The two G.o.d-ranked Sentient Beings" remarks shocked everyone who heard them. Even the Emperor and his ministers were taken aback by the circ.u.mstances; how could two Exalted Beings who had been oblivious to them suddenly bow in front of the youngest prince? Only the Second Prince and Silvan von Rosegard among the crowd understood the reasoning. It"s because Lord Yara"s only buddy is Jace Green von Imperlian.
Jace Green von Imperlian panicked for a bit and said, "N-No. I"m weak and just a human. N-No need to act like this. Yara and I are friends that"s all."
Little Bing"er spoke, "Greenie, you should be proud! The King only has you as his friend."
Nonetheless, some people did pick up on a few things after hearing this exchange. The Emperor is aware of the secret history of the previous Royal Family and the Pact his Older brother made with that Mystical Clan. Finally, he remembered the skills of that Clan.
Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian mumbled in shock, "The ability to command nature even though they aren"t plant ability users. Unique Ability that no one possessed except himself. As well as the collective indifference towards both the Human and the Bug Races."
"Don"t tell me! Yara von Chrysalis is from that Mystical Clan?" He murmured in silence.
Only a few ministers were present when the Emperor began mumbling, but what they heard astonished them. These were elderly men who had formerly worked for the Imperium"s founding Royal Family. They are aware of the Mystical Clan, a formidable group that the Zerg Race greatly fears. Simply said, this clan is too secretive, and n.o.body is sure if it still exists.
"Chrysalis Psyche. The Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan of the universe. They still exist!!"
