1105 17.32 Fourth Violet Star - Lieutenant General Zephyr von Gretel

Meanwhile, in outer s.p.a.ce...

The Black Dragon Troop's fleet was about to pa.s.s the last s.p.a.ce Portal to the Universe where Planet Terra was located in preparation for a s.p.a.ce Jump when they were abruptly met by a sizable Zerg army that appeared to be waiting for them. Red lights were flas.h.i.+ng in the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's control room, and the siren wailed throughout the entire craft. The Zergs that suddenly blocked their path also caught them off guard.

w.a.n.g. w.a.n.g! w.a.n.g.

[Red Alert. I repeat, Red Alert! A huge number of enemies were detected on the path of s.p.a.ce where the s.h.i.+p was about to leap.]

They were immediately latched on as targets as the repulsive insects in the shape of bugs all turned to face them as if they were one mind and eye. At the same time, around a thousand Zerg are attacking them. While this Zerg count can be seen as small in comparison to the number of Zergs discovered beneath the cliff on Planet Terra.

Adjutant Kir von Giselle reported to the Grand Marshal,

"My Lord, our path had been blocked by Zergs!"

"How many are there?" The Grand Marshal asked.

Adjutant Kir responded,

"There should be less than a thousand. Should we send some soldiers outside to eliminate the Zergs? There should be more hiding as we were near the Asteroid Belt."

"Go lead them. Kill all of it as soon as possible." The Grand Marshal commanded. "You only have half an hour. If the blockage hasn't disappeared until then I will make my move."

Adjutant Kir von Giselle saluted his lord,

"Yes, My Lord!" Before taking his team out with him with their mecha and started exterminating the Zergs that blocked their path.

With an expressionless gorgeous face and a pair of disinterested eyes, the Grand Marshal stayed sitting at the head of the Control Room and observed everything that was happening in front of him. He even tilts his head to the side while resting his chin on his fist.

"Use the energy cannon of the s.h.i.+p to support the a.s.sault Team. We must reach Planet Terra in three hours." The Grand Marshal declared as he looked out of the window of the s.h.i.+p as if seeing something in the galaxy.

The soldiers can only follow his instructions and quickly dispatch the enemy before they reach them. They destroyed every Zerg that came close to their s.h.i.+p, but for some reason they never stopped. The Grand Marshal observes this scene while being unperturbed.

Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian commanded,

"Adjutant Kir, retreat to the s.h.i.+p. Use the energy cannon to blast everything on sight and activate the defense barrier of the s.h.i.+p."

"Initiating the Energy Cannon. Energy Cannon activated. Launching... Go!"

The scattered asteroid and the hidden Zergs on it were both destroyed by a deafening energy ray blast that was fired in their direction. The Black Dragon Fleet will only encounter dust in its path when the energy cannon has been disabled. The others that came out to exterminate the Zerg, including Adjutant Kir von Giselle, went back to the stars.h.i.+p and met with their lord. They failed in their attempt to clear a path for the fleet.

"My Lord, forgive this subordinate's incompetence. We failed to open a path for you." Adjutant Kir von Giselle said.

The Grand Marshal said,

"Don't mind it. There is someone intentionally controlling those Zergs. Unless someone is in command, Zerg of that many would just discriminately attack our fleet but they were moving in patterns as if following someone's orders. It is not your fault. Resume your duties."

"Yes, My lord!"

"Keep this opportunity and continue on the route. Leave this place as soon as possible. I cannot detect any other presence that is supposed to be controlling the Zergs in the dark. It means... whoever it was, they were quite powerful. Depart!" The Grand Marshal said.

Their Fleet kept on and made the final s.p.a.ce Jump to get to the universe where Planet Terra is. The s.p.a.ce shook as soon as their s.p.a.cecraft vanished, and a figure wearing a black-and-red robe emerged. His sly smirk lingered at the corner of his lips, and it was the same person who went by the name Chaos. It appeared as though he had just finished tickling and prodding someone.

Chaos whispered,

"We will meet again somewhere~" He once again disappeared into s.p.a.ce leaving only ripples which also calmed down after a while.

Back to Planet Terra...

the predicament below the cliff. Every time the Zergs approached their cage, the students shook with horror. A Zerg is also approaching this area, grabbing a handful of them, wrapping them in a coc.o.o.n, and dragging them off. Those who were taken away never came back, so they a.s.sumed they must have been eaten alive. They were terrified by the impending death that hung over their bodies and by their impotence in the face of their helplessness. Silvan von Rosegard is always battling something inside of him even though he hasn't fully awakened to reality yet.

[d.a.m.n, Mortal! I told you to give it up already! I'm already bound to you. Unless you die like Megan Sh.e.l.ley then it is impossible for you to remove me. Why don't you ask G.o.d to do it for you? Heh!]

While Silvan von Rosegard uses his mental energy to expel and repress this ent.i.ty in his head, the sardonic tone of the System in his head can be heard echoing around the region.

Silvan von Rosegard appears to be in excruciating pain as he attempts valiantly to drag the object inside his brain out, his entire face distorted with anguish. He is one of the world's Heavenly Sons, but he is only a newly awakened person, and his soul is not powerful enough. But by taking this move, he prevented the system from hypnotizing him and allowing it to once again control his body.

That would have been such a catastrophe for him, the second prince, and their squad if this system hadn't taken control of his body and forcedly fled in the direction of the Zergs. He and Christopher Klein von Imperlian were the only ones to survive while the other people were killed by the extraterrestrial race.

Silvan von Rosegard said,

"f.u.c.k off, you parasite. How dare you take control of my body and almost get Chris killed!? I will no longer listen to it. Never at all!"

[Mortal, don't you think you are being too rude towards this Deity? Just for someone with a limited lifespan, your courage is too big! Hmp!]

Silvan von Rosegard was unable to move due to a severe strain on his soul, and his entire being was in agony. The sensation was similar to that of having your soul shattered by tremendous pressure. Silvan endures agony that most people would not be able to, despite his best efforts.

[d.a.m.n human! How can you endure such pain!? Aren't you mortal weaklings that would give up at a small poke from this Deity?]

"No way. There is no way I'm going to lend you my body. No way in h.e.l.l!" Silvan von Rosegard said.

Silvan von Rosegard hasn't actually awakened due to this impa.s.se. Because he didn't want his inner demon to harm others who were with him in reality the way it killed his fiance's servants. Christopher Klein von Imperlian is actually worried about him because he would writhe in anguish while sleeping. The second prince would have taken his sweetheart to the doctor to be examined if they were in a secure location. They are currently in a bad predicament, and n.o.body is sure if they will make it out alive.

Clang! Thud!

Precisely at the point where the students appeared to be waiting to die. Another young man was tossed within the jail of their cells after it was once more unlocked. Unlike them, who were dressed in their workout clothing, this young man was merely wearing a s.h.i.+rt and a pair of jeans. He doesn't resemble them at all because he was never hurt, but because he is so frail and seems so feeble, the Zergs treated him like a pile of sacks and threw him into the pen where their livestock is held.

"That hurts! Can't you throw me in more gently?!" The young man complained as he even used a middle finger at the bugs who were hissing at him.

KRIEK... HISSSS~

"Who the h.e.l.l is scared of you!?"

The young man was going to speak louder when the other students grabbed him and forced him to stop. When the Second Prince was dragged in front of him, the man was shocked to see how pale the Royal heir was. Even worse, he was holding an unconscious young man who he also knew to be his fiance. In reality, this youthful man was Lieutenant General Zephyr von Gretel who shrunk himself.

He discovered that the children and childlike manner he was portraying were vanished. All the pupils in the vicinity were engulfed in it with a wave of his hand. He used energy to separate his aura and their voice. He memorized the path to the escape when he let himself be kidnapped, so thankfully there are only low-level Zergs in this area.

The young man's surroundings had changed, and Christopher Klein von Imperlian saw it right away. He realized that the young man's appearance was a lie and that the soldier standing in front of him must be an adult.

The Second Prince asked,

"May this prince ask who this person in front of me is?" He spoke respectfully as he knew that the situation on the surface must have worsened for the military to notice that something had gone wrong on the whole planet.

The young man was now surrounded by a false of aloofness and disinterest instead of the playful man who had entirely vanished. As he viewed the conditions of all the pupils in the jail, he sat down. He didn't answer the second prince's query right away. He pledged his allegiance to the b.u.t.terfly Emperor and his progeny. Since it is nearly impossible for one to be taken by a simple Search of those descendants of that family, no one in the vicinity could meet this condition.

"Are these all that is left alive? Where are the rest?" Lieutenant General Zephyr von Gretel asked.

The fact that the prince in front of him had responded to his question didn't bother the second prince. He was aware that there were other factions within the Imperium, but since this individual was not reacting to him in any wayneither with contempt or goodwillhe concluded that he must be a member of the Neutral Faction. Someone like him from the Royal Family will only be treated like air by people who have no regard for the Imperial Family. Because someone else, not the crown, is the one they serve.

A student replied,

"Yes, this is all of us. The others were taken away. The Zerg will come over to take a few of us. Two or three every night. They... never returned."

"I see..."

The students observed as the young man drilled into the flesh of his wrist and pulled out a secret s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton that had just been contaminated with his blood. Even his face was expressionless as he dug into his own flesh as though it were someone else's. The Zerg had grabbed everything off of him, even the s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton, so all he could do was bury one in his skin and use a healing potion to rapidly heal it.

The pupil couldn't help but sigh in response to the situation. They seemed to be the only ones who could feel this person's suffering. They observed as the young man produced many potions for healing and gave them to them to drink. This is a very potent remedy that not only mends their injuries but also replenishes their mental vigor.

"You have 5 minutes to heal yourself. There is only a cold weapon in my s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton as guns would cause too much noise. My subordinates are all waiting for you outside. They are ready to take you guys away. Remember. Move silently. This is an escape mission. If you fail to follow my rules I will kill you on the spot.

Do. You. Understand?"

"Yes, Sir!"

The moment the students understood the young man in front of them was a military superior, they saluted. The kind that subordinates looked up to and who at the very least held the rank of Lieutenant.

The second prince asked,

"May I ask who you are, Sir?"

"I am Lieutenant General Zephyr von Gretel of the Mystical Qilin Troops under General Nimbus."
