Ch 68: Tentacle Aliens and Latours Aliens

“Company? Boss?”

Several people, hearing Chen Yi’s explanation, reviewed the events and found it increasingly plausible: insects, Mutants, Insectoid Monsters.

Only Chai Lang’s face suddenly changed. If Chen Yi’s statement was true, their boss was likely far more powerful than they could imagine.

“Beep, Wind Guard Squad, come to the Main Conference Room for a meeting. Important matters require discussion.”

Yang Xuan’s projection suddenly appeared before them; his expression was serious, as if something significant had happened.

Upon hearing this, several people stood up and walked towards the Main Conference Room.

Shortly after, over 20 core members of the entire Defense Force had assembled.

As Chen Yi sat down, Chang Ze Yue, at some point, presented a cup of coffee.

“Thank you.”

Chen Yi took the coffee, curiously observing Chang Ze Yue. This guy really was…

Yang Xuan stood in the center; his head swayed slightly, even he himself was unaware.

He enlarged all the pictures. The first showed a small green insect.

“According to the Technology Department’s dissection analysis, each Mutant contains this crystal.”

“This crystal is transformed from this insect. This insect’s energy reaction is very special.”

“We suspect it’s a Cosmic Creature.”

Chang Ze Yue’s face changed, twitching slightly before returning to calm.

“These insects are divided into Larva, Drones, Soldier Bugs, Broodlings, and the Queen Insect.”

“That green insect is a Larva, a parasite that can promote human mutation into Drones, but it only feeds on human negative emotions.”

“It seems the degree of mutation depends on emotions. Without negative emotions, people aren’t affected.”

“The four Super Cities have captured a Broodling. Analysis shows it continuously supplies energy.”

“Initial energy reaction is Level 10, potentially growing stronger than the Beast King.”

As soon as Yang Xuan spoke, everyone was shocked. 10… Level 10!? An initial level of 10!? More terrifying than the Beast King?

“Level 10?”

Even Chen Yi’s expression darkened. At this rate, the monster would only grow stronger.

Yang Xuan then presented all the data to everyone, including insect types and images of several Mutants.

Yang Xuan highlighted the last few photos, the five individuals being Lu Ai and others.

“These individuals are likely Aliens.”

“Aliens?”

No one was surprised; they knew this day would come, as it was inevitable.

“Preliminary energy calculations indicate the Queen Insect will appear in our city. I hope everyone starts monitoring this closely and finds the Queen Insect.”

“These individuals are key targets. Report immediately upon sighting.”

“Don’t alert it; otherwise, it might hide again.”

“Headquarters has dispatched an SSS+ Level Super Mecha Pilot. They’ll arrive this afternoon after the handover.”

The crowd fell silent; their families were all in Tianxing City. This was a gamble with their lives.

“One more thing, our Technology Department has confirmed via energy fluctuations that a Broodling in Tianxing City is dead.”

Chen Yi intentionally released the energy fluctuation of this dead Queen Insect.

“However, another Broodling has been detected, its location unknown.”

“Without these two Broodlings, the Queen Insect can’t obtain energy. Its next option is to find another Broodling.”

“Another one?”

Chen Yi took a sip of coffee, lost in thought. Finding this Queen Insect would be significantly harder.

Because of Chen Yi’s actions, the other party would be much more cautious. Finding them would be like finding a diamond in the ocean.

Chang Ze Yue subtly guessed something but remained hesitant.

“All squads stand by at their assigned positions. Report any incidents promptly.”

Yang Xuan waved his hand, and Qi Lu stepped forward to transmit the data to each squad leader.

“These are Energy Reaction Frequency Detectors, able to distinguish insect types.”

Qi Lu distributed all the devices, concluding the meeting.

Chen Yi stood up, realizing the severity of the situation. At this rate, the monster would definitely reach Level 15.

Only he could handle that; others would be powerless. What if he, too, couldn’t handle it one day?

He couldn’t wait passively; there were always unknown possibilities.

Chen Yi took a sip of coffee, his brow furrowed, considering the monster’s nutritional needs.

Parasitic in the human body, then supplementing energy from the human body?

No, that’s too inefficient. Unless… unless it absorbs all human emotions.

Emotions encompass countless possibilities. For example, anger can unleash a person’s full potential, increasing strength by 100% while decreasing intelligence by 100%.

Not just anger, hatred can increase strength and intelligence.

Emotional energy can be detected by the HUT Defense Force’s frequency detectors.

Here, we can’t use that concept. Emotions are exceptionally powerful energy. If the Queen Insect absorbs this energy, how does it do so?

“Dream?”

As night fell, the people of Tianxing City were asleep. Chang Ze Yue stood in a hidden place; a creaking sound came from below.

Chang Ze Yue’s expression was impassive. He held a pitch-black Great Sword. A figure slowly emerged from the darkness in front of him.

“Tentacle Alien?”

“Latours Alien?”

Lu Ai looked like they’d met a compatriot.

“Why are you harming humans?”

Chang Ze Yue’s eyes were filled with confusion. The Great Sword suddenly shone, reflecting Lu Ai’s body.

“Why? Do we need a reason?”

“This planet is the last pure land in the universe. If we want this planet, we must purify it.”

“Why purify? Can’t we coexist peacefully with humans? I believe they would happily coexist with Aliens.”

“Ha, haha, hahaha.”

Lu Ai laughed loudly. They were curious. As fellow Aliens, why was this one so naive?

“Stop pretending to be a good guy. You Latours Aliens are far worse than us Tentacle Aliens.”

“You hypocritical creature, have you forgotten who you are after living here for so long?”

“Let me see… I remember a term, ‘Cosmic Thief’, the universe’s most terrifying race?”

“Or, in human terms, the most inhumane, inferior monster in the universe?”

“Enough, stop being naive. Do you think if I don’t do it, no other Alien will? I simply seized the opportunity.”

“Latours Alien, if you have the ability, stop me.”

“Buzz!”

A blade flashed; only an insect-like shell remained of Lu Ai. Lu Ai, having learned from the past, was extremely cautious.

Chang Ze Yue froze, unable to recover.

Chen Yi watched silently from afar.

He already knew Chang Ze Yue’s identity. However, since he currently showed no malice towards humans, Chen Yi decided to give him a chance.

If he acted against humanity, Chen Yi would have to treat him to a Leo Kick.
