Chapter 21 Chapter 21 But now Zao Zao is not alone anymore...
So you're saying that when you encounter troubles that you can't solve, you will curl up into a ball... right?
Meilun looked at the 'ball' in silence.
This shouldn't be the case - even if he hadn't been raised by the Crown Clan before, given the Crown Clan's inherent stubbornness, it's impossible for such a 'little coward' to appear in their family.
Meilun thought about it for a while, and tried to correct the little cub's mentality - although there were many troubles in the two remaining generations of the crown family, they were ultimately resisting fate, and escaping from this behavior was not advisable...
Little Chuzao moved, and a small golden halo flew out again. The little white ball raised its head, its ears trembled, and its watery eyes looked at him.
Meilun looked at this ball of hair and in an instant had countless words in his mind, but he swallowed them all back.
——Zao Zao is just a five-year-old kid! What could he have done wrong?!
“Ouch!”
Why does Grandpa Meilun ask this?
The little dumpling was still holding his little tail, and spoke in a childish voice with some doubt.
This is the only cub of the Crown Family that appeared after hundreds of years—and it is a cub of the Dwight Family.
Meilun was overwhelmed by the cuteness and covered his face with one hand. The strand of snow-white hair tied up with a black headband on the back of his head curled and trembled slightly with his movements, like an elegant gentleman who was shocked by something beyond his own cognition.
"It's not a big deal. Zao Zao is still too young. She can learn slowly in the future. Now you just need to listen a little. As the crown family, we bear the responsibility and glory of the empire. Even when there is an insurmountable trouble, we will not hesitate to 'take up the sword'."
At the same time, in the sky of Saint Cass Emperor Star, Amos, with huge wings spread out behind him and holding a spiritual weapon, looked indifferently at the group of strange beasts that surged out from the space fluctuations like a tide.
Compared with the huge and brutal beasts, Amos seemed a little small, but the weapon in his hand was swung so fast that people could hardly see his speed. His huge and terrifying mental power instantly smashed a large number of beasts that were attacking the defense line of Amos Imperial Star into blood rain and powder.
The communicator on the waist rang at this time, but it just played without any valuable information.
Amos frowned and calmly and decisively issued the next pursuit order. Then he changed direction, flew across the sky with his wings, and returned to the royal court.
In the royal court, after speaking about "holding the sword", Meilun's expression gradually turned cold.
He raised his hand, and his mental power transformed into countless rhombus-shaped luminous bodies, which were held in his palms like boomerangs waiting to be thrown. Above his head, a crown halo, which had been shattered and only a circular base remained, slowly emerged, as if carrying some kind of determination.
He looked at the door of his room and took a step forward. His smiling face in front of the little cub had completely lost its warmth, and his scarlet eyes were slightly narrowed. Because of the operation of his mental power and the halo above his head was still gradually breaking, the whites of his eyes, which had slowly turned back to normal white, became congested again, but his posture was comfortable. Even in such an extreme state, he still had the unique arrogance of the Crown Clan.
The little white ball of fluff was protected behind him, and Xiao Chuzao noticed the change in the atmosphere.
"Ouch?"
Grandpa Meilun?
From the window of Meilun's room, Xiao Chuzao could see that the sky was gradually becoming gloomy and gray, with occasional flashes of light. The white snow that was originally drifting in the storm had turned bright red. The bodies of giant beasts fell from the sky and were smashed into powder by the army of the last line of defense.
Apart from this unusual red snow, everything seemed to be under the control of the Crown Clan and the Saint Cass Army. Although there were not many Crown Clan members with combat capabilities left on the Saint Cass Imperial Star, there were not few either.
Everything seemed so reliable.
From the very beginning, the Crown Clan was not in a hurry - this should be an invasion that would not pose any threat to the Saint Cass Empire.
Some time has passed since this bizarre invasion, and everything seems to be going well.
But it was very quiet outside, so quiet that it was unspeakably quiet.
"Zao Zao, stay inside and don't move."
The battle-hardened Crown Clan noticed this.
He held his spiritual weapon in his hand, and the door was swept open by Meilun's spiritual power.
Outside the door - the royal court's guards seemed to be still holding their posts, not moving a single step.
But it was so strange that even when the door was opened, they never looked back.
Their heartbeats and breathing had stopped, and they lost their lives silently in the stiff standing state. The last member who realized the danger could only press the alarm on the communicator with difficulty, but could not send any message.
Only a small circle of light remained of Melun's crown halo, which was the most basic layer and could break at any time. At this time, the crown clan would especially restrain themselves. They did not want their departure to bring any devastating blow to the entire Saint Cass. Many crown clan members would end their own lives in despair at the last moment when the crown was broken - fastening the safety valve of the 'nuclear bomb'.
Although the Crown Clan still has combat effectiveness at this time, their perception of the outside world has declined more than a little bit. They will become dull and paranoid.
It was to the point that Melun, who had already reached this point, only felt something was wrong at this moment.
It's a little late.
Not far away, a strange young man was standing there, adjusting the small camera on his collar.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and met Meilun's scarlet, crazy yet calm eyes.
He smiled.
"Hello, Crown Clan. The newly developed drug seems to be very effective. Let me think about it - Meilun, right? I wonder if you still remember me? It took me a lot of effort to find me."
He bowed his head like a gentleman, and when he looked up again, there was hatred deep in his eyes.
"…Who are you?"
Meilun had already thrown out the mental power in his hand. His movements were careless, but he was alert in his heart. He blocked the door tightly. With a loud bang, the house behind the young man suddenly collapsed.
If possible, Meilun didn't want to take action in the royal court.
Not only is it difficult to repair, but if it damages other Crown Family members' belongings, it will inevitably lead to internal disputes within the family.
But this guy is too strange, and I don’t know how he got in or what he wants to do. For the safety of the cubs behind him, it’s better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The cub behind him was startled, and Chu Zao instinctively curled up into a small ball in the corner, making a soft and low sound - "Awoo?"
Grandpa Meilun, what happened?
Melun did not respond. His brows were serious. A strange space twist appeared in front of the enemy, swallowing up his mental power - no, someone had obtained an extremely rare ore that could cause space fluctuations. This ore was extremely rare and came in twins. It contained energy that could open up space channels on both sides, just like the space jump function that was now skillfully used on starships. However, this thing was rare and had a certain number of uses.
But this almost perfectly restrained his long-range, small-area mental weapon, and also helped the other party sneak into Saint Cass and enter the royal court.
Like it was directed at him?
As Meilun thought about it, he slowly tightened his grip on the spiritual weapon.
Then asking him to take care of the cubs would be like making a very fatal move.
The enemy failed to notice that Meren was guarding the door behind him tightly, he was immersed in his own hatred.
"I am just a small wanderer who lost his country and planet when your Saint Cass expanded his territory. When you, Melun, razed my land, you naturally would not have thought of this scene - I just got the help of sympathizers, and they allowed me to witness the demise of your Crown Clan with my own eyes."
Before the enemy could finish speaking, Meilun had already closed the door. He moved quickly, and countless mental weapons flew out from his hands.
Since we can restrain him - then we can push the upper limit of this thing.
The space stone was somewhat out of control at this moment. The opponent itself was not very capable. Under the strong attack, Melun quickly approached. Everything was over very quickly. When he stood still, Melun had already grasped the mental weapon and pierced the enemy's chest. He glanced sideways and saw the man's appearance clearly.
He seemed to react: "Oh, you are the royal family of a small planet that wanted to invade my empire, attacked my starships many times, and took the initiative to declare war on me?"
Is there anyone still alive?
Melun could remember at this moment that the provocation more than 20 years ago was indeed too outrageous. Perhaps they felt that the Crown Clan was at the end of their rope and couldn't wait to get a piece of the pie, so they declared war on them, thinking that they would be tolerated if they took a little advantage. In the end, they were killed by Melun and his men who were dealing with the nearby alien beast army.
Meilun pulled back his arm, his clothes were already stained with blood. He casually shook the blood off his hand and watched the young man in front of him fall down. Blood was gushing out of the man's mouth and nose, but he was still smiling strangely.
What is he laughing at?
This all seems a bit too simple.
There was a soft sound behind me.
Meilun looked back.
He saw that the door of the room that he had closed was pushed open a little, and a little white fur ball was clinging at the door, howling.
Grandpa Meilun...are you, are you okay?
In fact, everything happened so fast that little Chuzao had no idea what was happening outside. He only heard loud noises. When he reached the door, everything was over. He pushed the door open and suddenly saw blood. That color frightened the little cub in place.
Meilun had no time to speak.
At the moment when the young man's heart stopped beating, there was a very slight beeping sound, and a small jar connected to the enemy's heart rolled out.
It was a jar locked with his heartbeat, and the moment his heart stopped, the jar opened.
After seeing clearly what was inside, Meilun's pupils suddenly shrank. He reacted quickly and chopped down directly, breaking the thing into powder, but the thing still floated away. He was closest to it and was affected the most. The crown on his head began to shake violently in an instant.
——'Want to see the destruction of the Crown Clan? There is a way to bring them into closer contact with the pollution and further collapse.'
This is an isolation tank. Inside the tank is the strongest source of pollution found in the deepest part of the pollution. It once destroyed the habitat of the Crown Clan and affected the entire Crown Clan. Under close contact, especially for the Crown Clan whose crown is already quite unstable, the already fragile crown will fall apart and the mental strength will collapse. Of course, it is also extremely dangerous for ordinary people. This guy didn't even think about going back alive.
Melen had already sensed Amos' rapid approach, and others around him also heard the sound approaching rapidly.
But it was too late.
His crown—is about to break.
And not far away, the space stone on the corpse had reached its limit and was about to explode.
Meilun staggered back two steps, then managed to reach the door and fell down.
He reached out his hand and closed the door tightly before the little cub could fully understand what was happening.
Everything happened so fast that the little cub only saw Grandpa Meilun's halo begin to break from the middle and disappear to both sides little by little. Then he was pushed out of the door and rolled around. The little guy flapped his wings behind him and flew back to bang on the door in an instant.
"Ooooooooo! Ooooooo!"
Grandpa Meilun! Grandpa Meilun! Let Zao Zao come out!! Grandpa Meilun!!
Zao Zao——Come out!!
The little cub pushed hard at the door, jumping and bumping his way around inside with his little body.
The little cub rarely made such drastic choices when faced with such troubles before. Just like he had demonstrated before, when faced with insurmountable troubles, Algae Algae would curl up into a ball.
But now - Zao Zao is no longer a person.
Little Chuzao seemed to hear the gentle voice that brought him into this world again, saying to him: "Don't be afraid, Zaozao. You can do it, and only you can do it."
Meilun leaned against the door and looked at the sky. At this moment, he also looked like a down-and-out gentleman. The halo above his head shattered like scattered black petals, and his voice was intermittent: "Don't be afraid, Zao Zao, Your Majesty... We will be there soon... Wait a moment... It's still very dangerous outside..."
Towards destruction, this is the fate of the Crown Clan——
Every time their mental power went out of control, the Crown Clan seemed to be able to hear such a voice - give up, this is the Crown Clan's unchangeable fate...
Compared with his peers, he is already lucky.
Meilun slowly closed his eyes.
"I really want to see snow again... with Zao Zao..."
It was too short. The time fate had left him was really... too short.
I hope Your Majesty can arrive in time and not let this little guy, whom they have been waiting for hundreds of years, see his ugly side and leave him with a psychological trauma.
The crown clan, whose crown had been broken into two halves, pointed the sharp blade at his throat, ready to end his life, and pulled the "safety bolt" for himself before the crown completely shattered and exploded out of control.
No one can save them...
No one—
"Zao Zao, don't do this!"
The tender, strange yet familiar voice of a baby exploded in my ears like thunder.
The distant habitat planet emitted a slight resonance, as if confirming the little cub's connection with this world, and even the other crown clan members were in a trance for a moment.
The golden light suddenly interrupted Meilun's movements. Meilun was wrapped in the warmth of the golden mental power, and the door was finally opened.
