Chapter 366 - 8.91 First Blue Star - Mission Accomplished
After destroying the human farm, Lieutenant General Nova Revel brought the surviving children with him and flew towards the coordinates his wife had sent to him. The rescue shuttles were found in that place where Alula Celeste and the rest had secured their escape route.
At first, the survivors almost ran away when they saw the Fifth Prince of the Zerg race. Only when they saw him release his quantum beast merge skill did they believe that he is indeed human. The former marshal even cut his palms to show that his blood is red.
[Note: Zergs are bugs so most of their blood is green.]
Nova Seren had already sent some of his subordinates to bring the few rescue shuttles out to their battleships. They are now waiting for Nova Revel, Feng Yang, and King Regulus Zenith to finish their mission. Near the bonfire at the open area, Lieutenant General Nova Seren is eating cheese and marshmallows roasted over the fire with Clay, Claire, and the other children. Alula Celeste and the other adults were watching this peaceful scene with smiles on their faces.
Some adults, especially the leader of their small group, have a conversation to pass time. They had never expected that the cruelest fifth prince of the zergs would be human spying on this planet for the Oberion Empire.
"I never expected that the overprotective Fifth Prince over his butterfly race is as human as us."
"We have always thought that the fifth prince of zergs is weird for protecting their kind."
"Zergs don't have human emotions after all. They only need to eat, kill and increase their numbers."
"That's true. They also eat a lot and I heard some news that they've destroyed a planet before after eating everything on that planet."
Alula Celeste spoke, "I can only do such things to protect my clan members and all the other humans the other races had sent to us were all returned secretly to their own places. If I didn't do it that way it would be hard on us not to be caught. We also knew about you guys but we couldn't find you at all. Thankfully, my daughter and son-in-law found little Clay and showed the way to us.
We would never expect that you guys would be using the poison gas to hide yourselves and that those poisonous zergs didn't find you here."
"Indeed about Clay we shouldn't have said all those things. We as adults shouldn't blame the boy."
"Sigh` we didn't mean to make him cry. It is just that... we had witnessed too many traumatic things that fear would sometimes overwhelm us."
Hearing these words Alula Celeste could understand where their fear was coming from, the zergs were cruel towards humans and treated them as toys and food. Their lives on this planet are even worse than the cultivated lab rats, in this place humans have a lower standing than animals.
"The boy won't blame you. He understands your fear as much as you do. He is a good boy. I heard from my daughter that Clay was even able to yell at the zergs at the butcher shops without fear. He is a very brave boy and he is extremely loyal. Until the end, he didn't tell us where you guys were, only when he was sure that we are all humans that he had told everything. You brought him well."
The adults showed sheepish smiles as they couldn't remember when they last smiled freely like this. While everyone was waiting, the other guys were doing some final preparations to leave. They had been living in this place for years though they never liked this place, this secluded place still protected them all this time.
A few hours later, a mecha appeared on the top of the cliff blowing away the poisonous gas and landing on the ground with a few malnourished children in his mecha's hands. There are some who have recognized the children. Even the old leader had come towards one of the boys and suddenly hugged him. It seems that the boy is his missing grandson whom his son and daughter-in-law had run away with leaving only the elderlies at home. They might have wanted to escape from this planet, sadly they were caught by the zergs in the end.
Seeing his grandfather still alive the cold-faced boy finally started crying as he fell into that warm embrace. This is the child that didn't even cry when he saw his father and mother taken away by the zergs. He could also recall the ruthless reality that the human race on this planet is even lower than animals.
"Yeye~ Mom and Dad they... they were eaten... by those monsters... they've removed their skins and put them in a huge pot. Dad was cut to pieces. T-Then lots of zergs surround the pot. It was so scary..."
"Shss... Don't cry. Everything is alright now. We can finally go back home..."
"Home? Really, back to the place with lots of humans like us!?"
"Yes, many people like us. There would no longer be any zergs and we would have someone to protect us. You remember the War God right? Marshal Sirius would protect us there... Like these gentlemen and the lady who had saved us... there would be more kind people around us..."
The children start to clamor,
"Um! Would the beautiful Big brother be there as well?"
"Yes! The powerful and extremely pretty big brother!"
"We saw it on the monitor in the lab. He is so beautiful. His hair is long and silver. It glitters under the sunlight and moonlight."
"His eyes were pretty as well. It's even redder than an apple!"
"He is so cool. With a wave of his hand, the zergs were turned into ice."
"No! They were burned into ashes! A white flame! It looks so magical and he is definitely a God!"
The adults couldn't understand the words of these children at the beginning but when the soldiers heard the description of the young man the children are idolizing that they've understood whom they were talking about.
One of the soldiers played a recording of the latest ongoing featuring Feng Jing fighting hundreds of Guardian class zergs without a mecha. With wings of the phoenix on his back, he looks so small before his enemies but the playful smile on his ethereal face is confident and proud, he fearlessly faces those numerous zerg like an immortal battling giant.
There's ice on his right and white flames on his left hand. In the video, he clapped his hand slowly revealing a lotus flower. It cloned itself numerous times until the battlefield was surrounded by small lotus flowers. It was like a flower festival if not for those ugly-looking zergs destroying the scenery.
And then with a wave of his hands the lotus flowers flew towards his enemies, the zerg who had seen such a gorgeous flower for the first time was stunned and they couldn't help but reach out. Not knowing that just by touching those lotus flowers it would cause explosions that instantly took their lives. A green blood rain fell from the sky and that was the only remains the zergs had left behind.
At the center of that rain, a young man carrying a paper umbrella with huge wings on his back stared at the horizon not far from him. Though he doesn't look dangerous, just the scene is enough to show his strength. He isn't like a War God who shows his fighting capabilities by wielding a weapon on him. He is more like a passing God who cleans up specks of dirt that it's on his way.
Everyone who had witnessed this scene couldn't help but shiver in awe and admiration. This young man looks so weak but his strength is undeniably beyond normal. Then in the other recordings every time his exquisite figure appears on the battlefield, his allies would welcome him warmly and respectfully while his enemies would turn pale faces and run away with intense fear on their faces.
They were truly frightened by the ruthlessness this beautiful young man possessed. He is a firm wall that prevents the enemies but at the same time the vanguard that protects their race.
The old leader asked in a dazed, "W-Who is this... Young lord...? He looks so young but... He is extremely powerful."
"He looks so godly. Unlike the handsome War God, he is gorgeous but not completely feminine."
"A bloodline of fire and ice!? That's so amazing!!!"
Even Clay and the other children were mesmerized by the scene on the video. Their eyes glowing with excitement and admiration.
Claire spoke, "This big brother is extremely pretty like a fairy!"
"Yes. Much prettier than you," said Clay wanting to tease his sister but is speaking honestly.
The children all nodded their heads in agreement.
Nova Seren smiled and introduced his sworn brother to the children.
"You already know the War God right?" she asked.
The children happily answered,
"Yes! It is that handsome uncle!"
"Marshal! MARSHAL ALTAIR!!!"
"Right! War God!!!"
The adults chuckle at this sight.
Nova Seren spoke, "That pretty big brother is the War God's partner. His name is Feng Jing. Young Lord Jing."
The children repeatedly call Feng Jing's name and after hearing that he is the partner of the War God everyone else was stunned once again. With these words, it means like the War God is god-like pretty young man is a guardian of their race. He is an extremely powerful being who protects humanity.
After celebrating for a bit and feeding the newly arrived children, they finally decided to leave the planet. All survivors rode the rescue shuttle and flew towards the planet's outer territory. They went to the space escorted by the Mecha of Lieutenant General Nova Revel.
At the outer space, the fleet which was left under the command of the Old Marshal had deactivated their stealth mode, showing numerous big warships within the asteroid belt. Once this was done, those authorities in Zerg Planet were once again struck by another problem.
The news of the deaths of their Second Zerg King and Second Zerg Queen spread on the whole planet causing chaos. Then Major General Feng Yang and King Regulus Zenith riding on their own mechas met with their subordinates who were hiding in all corners.
As soon as they witnessed their bosses being pursued by zergs they showed up and protected them. War on Planet Zerg had started.
Feng Yang, who just received the message that the rescue team had left the surface of the Zerg Planet, can now execute the last two plans of their mission.
"Brother Zenith, the others had met with the Old Marshal. Everyone is safe," said Major General Feng Yang.
King Regulus Zenith replied, "If it's like that let's finish our mission as well," he then pulled out an energy cannon from the back.
Major General Feng Yang and King Regulus Zenith commanded in their communications channels.
[Eliminate everything on sight. Command from head: Kill everything on this planet!]
All soldiers who heard the orders responded in their communication channels.
[Order Received!!!]
The zergs can only watch when those flying mechas in the sky all pull out heavy-powered energy guns. These guns could destroy a mountain at least but now each of these big guns was pointed at them. The Zergs started shrieking as they tried to fight back while the others ran away.
[Permission to engage.]
[Permission Granted.]
Colorful lights made from pure energy flew all over the planet. Each of these light pillars when landed on their targets caused destruction and an explosion. The land, water, and sky broke into fragments. Only the sounds of destruction and the sight of death can be seen. Within a few hours, the living beings on the planet were all killed.
Feng Yang commanded, "Check for living things in the area. Destroy all buildings. After an hour we will leave the planet and make it explode."
"Yes, General!" said the soldiers.
They stayed at the ruined planet for an hour and declared and once they found no one alive anymore they flew out of the planet and prepared for the last stage of their mission. Once they returned to their fleets, the old marshal commanded a retreat. Once they got out of the explosion radius.
Grand Marshal Janus and Former Marshal Alula Celeste commanded the destruction of Planet Zerg. Using the Nuclear bombs the Alula Clan planted at the core of the Star once they've activated it, the Planet Zerg exploded and disappeared for all eternity.. Now the Zerg Planet is no more.
