The frontline has begun to intentionally control attacks on the Zerg, but their numbers are still decreasing uncontrollably.
Two hundred and ninety-seven years after the last queen was born, the Zerg had only one planet left and had to be artificially bred to maintain their numbers.
The days when the Zerg could eat whatever they wanted are over, and Zerg meat is now being smuggled more frequently in the underground market.
Emperor Xiu hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time and had returned to his familiar retirement life. There were still many things in this world worth learning for him, so he plunged headlong into the ocean of academia.
Wood had some free time again. After consulting with Di Xiu, he taught his old buddies the method of controlling mental power and also passed it on to the Imperial Military Academy. From then on, anyone whose supernatural ability broke through level ten could learn it, regardless of which school they came from.
Level 10 is a hurdle, the most difficult hurdle in the process of cultivating spiritual power. After passing this hurdle, leveling up is not difficult, but most people dare not touch level 13.
Wood has a distant relationship with his children and is used to peace and quiet. When he has nothing to do, he goes to visit his neighbors next door, but he is turned away nine times out of ten. He ends up communicating more with Ms. Octopus.
Emperor Xiu was engrossed in his studies until he was jolted awake by an urgent message.
The message from Milan was withdrawn before he could open it, but that didn't stop 001.
He is asking you for help.
Di Xiu frowned slightly, unable to tell whether it was because his train of thought had been interrupted or because something had happened to Mi Lan.
"Place?"
"Milan Star".
As we were talking, a message came from the other end.
"Sorry, I ordered the wrong thing."
You can't tell much from just a few words. Ever since that kid paid back the money, he would send gifts and blessings on every holiday. To avoid suspicion, he never visited in person. Di Xiu and he were really not that close.
He wasn't close to anyone; over the years, only Moore had followed him around like a little shadow.
"I don't see anything wrong. Do you want to go and take a look?"
After graduating, Mi Lan went back to reconnect the star network to her home planet and used all her salary to buy nutrient solutions to help her fellow villagers. Due to the rise of Zerg meat, the price of nutrient solutions had been driven very low, but it has started to rise again now.
Di Xiu summoned Mo Er, and together they flew to Miran Star in their private small spaceship.
Given his status, he would naturally travel with great pomp, but given his abilities, no one noticed that he had left, under the name of Moore.
No sooner had he left than Wood went to visit someone. Di Xiu usually didn't lock the manor gate, only the doors of the villas inside.
Wood saw the octopus floating on the lake and wrote on the whiteboard: What's wrong with you?
Miss Octopus suddenly splashed a huge wave of water, sank to the bottom of the lake, and swam into her luxurious underwater house.
Wood left, soaking wet.
...
Once the spaceship reached the outer atmosphere of Miran Star, Di Xiu knew exactly what was going on here.
The parasitic mother used this place, which ordinary people would never set foot in, as a greenhouse, and Michelle, who came back with her brother, was taken as the host.
He was quite clever. If things hadn't gone wrong and been discovered by Mi Lan, he would have immediately sent an urgent message to Di Xiu.
Moore operated the spaceship, zooming in on the image of the planet below, wondering why his boss had suddenly called him to such a place. It was clearly a garbage planet, no different from a desolate wasteland—two brothers in misery.
He thought so, and that's how he asked the question. He didn't expect to get a response, but then he heard Di Xiu say, "Save people."
"Boss, is there anyone you know here?"
"Um."
Moore quickly recalled the biography of his boss that had been circulating online. He remembered that when he was almost blasted into cosmic dust by an interstellar missile, he fell into a spacetime rift and was supposedly thrown onto a junk planet. Could this be the place?
The spaceship passed through the atmosphere, its divine sense indiscriminately suppressing the people and insects below.
This time, there was no need to worry about alerting the enemy. He directly used his divine sense to forcibly erase the spiritual power of all the parasitic species. As for the removal, there was now a miniature surgical instrument available, which made him more skilled than a novice with only one real combat experience.
The only problematic one is the parasitic mother.
The spaceship landed in an open area, next to a smaller spaceship, and Michelle collapsed at the doorway.
Di Xiu had never seen Michelle after she grew up, but Mi Lan had posted Michelle's graduation photos, and he could make out her face.
He looked in a certain direction, where a person was struggling to crawl towards him, his path stained with blood, his clothes unrecognizable and torn in several places.
"Moore, bring him here."
"yes."
With a few leaps, Moore reached the man, picked him up, and was about to put him down when he heard the man's weak voice plead, "Can you put me next to my sister?"
There was only one woman present, so Mor consulted with Di Xiu and placed her next to Michelle.
With his limbs broken, Mi Lan nudged his unconscious sister with his head, calling out in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, how are you? Xiao Xue, I'm sorry, your brother couldn't protect you. Wake up, Xiao Xue..."
Each sound was filled with fear and caution. Hearing this and seeing the wounds all over his body, Moore's eyes reddened.
Mi Lan tried to listen to Mi Xue's breathing and heartbeat, and then tried to turn her body, but heard Di Xiu say: "She was chosen as the host by the parasitic mother."
Mi Lan twisted her neck and looked up at him, choking back tears as she said, "I know, but... she suddenly ran away just now, and not long after, the other people who were parasitized fell into a coma. You did it, didn't you?"
"Um."
Mi Lan bowed deeply and pleaded, "Marshal, sir, please save my sister, please."
Mi Lan's own situation wasn't good. He wasn't parasitized, as the parasite had a hard time laying eggs, so it wasn't wasted on him. However, because he had tried to ask for help before, he had been subjected to inhuman torture.
Don't underestimate a Zerg that spends its life in the underground smuggling world. They have all sorts of vicious methods to make unruly goods obey them, and with their intelligence, they can learn them with ease.
Di Xiu felt the situation was tricky and could only say he would do his best, asking Mo Er to take him to heal his injuries first.
Michelle's situation is far from optimistic. The parasitic mother's control is far more domineering than other parasites. From the moment of parasitism, it became connected with Michelle's mental energy, and over time, the result is called possession.
This is why Emperor Xiu only suppressed it temporarily and did not completely erase the spiritual power.
In the second part of the timeline, Ling Qiushui was also unable to separate from it. In the end, she and Xavier accidentally developed a method for spiritual fusion, which suppressed the mother's spiritual power, devoured and assimilated it, and then took out the empty insect corpse.
But like her brother, Michelle had low spiritual aptitude and weak superpowers. If Emperor Xiu had arrived two days later, she might have become the one who was devoured and assimilated. At that time, the parasitic mother could openly take over this body and walk among the crowd.
