"No." Qiao Yingying's voice was weak as she looked at Lai Qin's surprised purple eyes. "I won't give other people this chance, but you are different."
He was an unexpected presence; if it weren't for him, she might never have developed feelings of liking him.
Although, for her, this feeling was almost proportional to her disgust and revulsion.
The voice in her head strongly opposed her getting involved with him, and initially, she was on its side because of her own interests.
But later it was discovered that, compared to Lai Tan, that voice didn't care about her situation at all; it was like a program driving something, only wanting to see her achieve a certain result.
This made her very uncomfortable, so she simply stopped listening to it.
She didn't believe that she couldn't achieve what she wanted without it.
Lai Tan, unaware of Qiao Yingying's thoughts but sensing the sincerity of her emotions, finally relented.
"Okay, then you can keep the child. But I must tell you, if it poses a life-threatening threat to your health later, I will get rid of it regardless of whether you agree or not. I don't care if you have a low chance of getting pregnant again. The only thing I care about from beginning to end is you."
That being said, the divine power and death energy he would need to support Qiao Yingying in giving birth to this child with his bloodline would be far from sufficient at his current level.
As for how to obtain more death energy and divine power, given his current status and circumstances, doing so through legitimate means is nothing short of a pipe dream.
After settling Qiao Yingying in, Lai Tan looked towards the interstellar monster battlefield, whose energy had inexplicably surged recently.
He keenly sensed that the energy was stronger than divine power and death energy, but he didn't yet know how harmful it was.
The very existence of this world was already a very unexpected thing for him.
In the past, he had nothing he cared about and no one he wanted to protect.
But things are different now.
Lai Tan glanced again at the girl whose right hand was resting on her lower abdomen, who was sleeping restlessly, and decided to take the risk.
With the energy surge in the interstellar monster battlefield so obvious right now, it shouldn't be a problem if he just drills a small hole in to absorb some energy, right?
The power of the gods is undetectable by current interstellar technology.
Just in case, Lai Tan specifically chose a garbage planet with the most chaotic magnetic field as a breakthrough point.
After arriving at the interstellar monster battlefield via the garbage planet, Laitan indeed sensed a massive energy leak from those unknown black holes.
As he extended his tentacles and tentatively entered those black holes, he instantly received a surge of immense energy. The tentacles that Ao Cang had severed quickly grew back under the nourishment of this energy.
However, compared to before, the newly grown tentacles are at least twice the size and have many disgusting pustules on them.
Lai Tan also felt a deep discomfort, as if someone had poured a mouthful of dirty water into his mouth. Although it quenched his thirst, it made his body feel very uncomfortable.
He endured the discomfort and tried to insert the second tentacle into the black hole to absorb energy. He withdrew it before his body could no longer withstand it, intending to leave and digest the energy.
This one time alone is definitely not enough.
He hadn't considered what problems might arise from a small opening created on the battlefield of interstellar monsters.
Because it is connected to a highly radioactive garbage planet, even if they manage to escape through this small opening, they will quickly die from radiation exposure.
But he forgot that the interstellar monsters have now mutated.
Not long after he left, a large number of smaller interstellar monster cubs entered the junk planet through the gap.
The transportation of citizens from garbage planets is currently handled by the Federal Academy, which collaborates with the Federal Army.
This group of citizens, who were not favored by the sacred beasts, were sent to the local area, and the spacecraft would only stay for ten minutes before leaving the garbage planet.
During those ten minutes, many interstellar monster cubs secretly boarded the spacecraft and attached themselves to some of its more concealed locations.
From the moment the spacecraft officially started until it returned to the Federal Academy on the Federal Star, no one noticed anything unusual.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was still inside the spacecraft, the interstellar monster cubs emerged from the exhaust vents, changing their shapes as they went.
They are very small, about the size of a mouse.
In addition, it was moving so fast that it was impossible to see clearly in the darkness.
These past few days have been the anniversary celebration of the Federal Academy, and everyone is concentrated on the main campus, so no one is paying attention to the situation at the aircraft field.
Because they were not used to the unfamiliar place, those interstellar monsters dug holes and hibernated like real rats, like seeds that had been planted.
Many citizens who did not meet the criteria were not chosen by the sacred beasts this year. After the first batch of spacecraft that went to the garbage planet returned, a second and third batch soon followed.
The passage to the garbage planet was not completely closed until the 25th batch was completed.
However, the mutated interstellar monsters have the ability to establish new connection channels by expelling energy from their bodies.
This passage directly connects to the interstellar monster battlefield.
However, since many of them have not yet fully adapted to the soil and environment of the Imperial Star, they have all burrowed into the soil to be nurtured.
When Qiao Mei was informed by Ao Cang that a group of unidentified objects with a strong aura of death had appeared on the Federation Star, it was already the last day of the school anniversary celebration.
That is, the day when all the teachers and students of the school are present.
Everyone was very interested in the mecha performance that was the grand finale.
Before going on stage to perform, Qiao Mei listened to what Ao Cang said, and for some reason, her unease slowly grew.
She asked him what direction the unidentified objects were in, and his answer sent chills down her spine.
He said, "The Federal College is spread out in all directions, almost radially."
The only somewhat comforting thing was that the unidentified creatures were all in a state of slumber.
She planned to go with Ao Cangyi to investigate the unidentified creatures in those directions after the performance to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred during the performance.
For some reason, the mech closest to her suddenly jammed when it was charging its power cannon and just stood there frozen.
The teachers and staff below the stage initially wanted the students inside to come down first, but the next moment, the mecha exploded without warning, and a space monster with fine, sharp teeth, about the size of a pig, flew out, its body emanating an unsettling purplish-black gas.
"Star... an interstellar monster, the Mighty-Toothed Boar?!"
Someone shouted something, and the news of the appearance of the interstellar monster began to spread like wildfire to every corner of the Federal Academy.
Most of the people present were students. Upon hearing that the interstellar monster had appeared, they all scattered and fled for their lives, turning the lively school anniversary celebration into chaos in an instant.
