Chapter 120 Waiting for an opportunity

First Fortress. Near Earth Satellite. Area A1.

This place is located in the core area of ​​the rear city of the First Fortress. It is prosperously located, and life and transportation are extremely convenient. It is also close to the border of the core military zone. It can be said to be an ideal place to live.

But for Marlaina, the third empress of the empire, she felt deeply neglected and perfunctory.

Yindu's special envoy, Julie Will, was standing at the bottom of the stage with an awkward expression. After paying her respects, she bowed her head and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for letting you suffer in such a simple place. It's all my fault!"

Queen Marlaina, who was leaning against the window and teasing the canary in the cage, turned her head, smiled slightly, and comforted him softly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so modest. You have handled it very well. It's only my fault..."

The red-haired, blue-eyed beauty had a slightly sad look on her face. She looked through the glazed window at the floating island looming in the mist in the distance.

"It's all my fault. Although I have a blood relationship with Queen Leia, I'm not close to Your Highness. I've only met him a few times at royal celebrations. Not to mention--" Queen Marlaina said as she casually raised her hand to stroke the emerald collar around her neck. This action attracted the attention of the only alpha in the room.

As the queen whose beauty was unrivaled in Yindu, every move she made was filled with an indescribable grace, which made Julie Will stare in amazement.

As the sweet voice whispered, the rich aroma of omega spread quietly in the room...

Marena's tone gradually became depressed: "This time I rashly defected to the First Fortress because the Brahma Palace was filled with beautiful women, and His Majesty couldn't tolerate me..."

"Isn't it because of the frequent tricks of Duke Nadel that you and your family were ostracized?" Julie suddenly spoke in a straightforward and sarcastic tone, "that forced you to go to the First Fortress and seek a political alliance with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

However, as soon as these words fell, this female alpha with a mental power level of 5S immediately noticed something was wrong.

Ever since she killed her cousin and became the head of the Will family, no matter how arrogant and irritable she appeared to be in public, Julie had never made such a low-level mistake and blurted out what was in her heart so bluntly.

This is so unreasonable——

However, in the small and luxurious reception room, because Marlaina kept the door tightly closed in the name of her frail body, the rich omeg scent that had been spreading bit by bit before had now unknowingly filled the entire room.

Marianna suddenly took two quick steps and approached the patriarch of the Will family who held military power. A burst of fragrance came over her. The red-haired queen's eyes flashed with an ambiguous light, and she opened her red lips and whispered in Julian's ear: "Oh? So the nobles of Yindu all look at me like this..."

"If even you, who is in charge of the garrison in the Central Galaxy, think of me this way," Marianna's green eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and she locked onto Julie's eyes that were sometimes lucid and sometimes dazed: "I can't go back to the Central Galaxy..."

"Tell me, has there ever been an empress in the history of the empire who was in such a pitiful situation as me, and had to wander around everywhere..."

The exotic fragrance in the room was so strong that it was almost suffocating. The charming voice of the red-haired beauty had a long tail sound like a series of small hooks, which almost made the alpha lose his mind.

Seeing the red-haired omega beauty with a sad look in her eyes, Julie Will's eyes were dazed for a moment, and suddenly she blurted out impulsively: "If Your Majesty will not give up, I am willing to use the power of the entire Will family to support Your Majesty——"

Just after saying this, Julie, whose mental power had been stable at the 5S level for a long time, suddenly realized that she had fallen into the mental power trap of this omega!

She shook her head vigorously, and her eyes regained clarity temporarily.

But before she could fight back, a plump, white hand gently but irresistibly rested on her shoulder, and Marlaina moved closer without hesitation.

The red-haired queen's passionate eyes sparkled with an increasingly strange light, and she uttered seductive words: "Really? Thank you so much, I will accept your sincerity..."

As the strange fragrance in the room spread and then dissipated, Envoy Yindu's expression fell into complete emptiness after the last few struggles.

After the strange fragrance in the room completely dissipated, a strange laugh came from behind the scarlet curtain:

"Oh, you did it beautifully, you are indeed worthy of being the 'precious species' of the mind control department!"

A trembling hand wearing a jewel ring lifted the curtain, and a person wrapped in a gray cloak sitting on a wheelchair was pushed into the room silently by Lan Ya, who lowered her head and looked submissive.

Queen Marlaina seemed exhausted at this moment. She rubbed her forehead and sat back on the couch to rest. She didn't have the energy to deal with the man in gray who suddenly appeared in the room.

"Julie Will, a second-class noble who rose to prominence through military exploits, a 5S capable person, and more importantly, the garrison troops under her command."

“It will be very useful at a critical moment.”

As if evaluating goods, the man in gray drove the wheelchair around the completely dazed female alpha and slowly made a circle.

Then he waved away Lan Ya's hand that was trying to support him, and stood up with great effort. The hand with the jewel ring was completely exposed to the bright light in the room. The wrinkled hand was as thin as a rotten eagle claw.

"Hmph, if you can't do it, then don't try to show off!" Marena looked away in disgust, "Look at how exhausted you are."

"Don't worry, I won't die now!" The gray-clothed man said in a hoarse voice, "Even if I have to die, it will be after you."

He struggled to use his dry index finger with a jewel ring to press against Julianwell's brow, and the thin but dim mental thread directly invaded the brain of this 5Salpha.

Marlaina sneered at the side.

"Even if you break through her mental defense, I doubt you can perfectly replicate a mental slave mark in your current weak state."

"A 5S-level psychic is not so easy to control."

The beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes turned her eyes and lightly glanced at Lan Ya who was standing beside her.

"Why not take the approach I suggested..."

"Your method?" The exhausted man in gray fell on the wheelchair panting. He roared hoarsely, "If you hadn't stolen my gene repair solution ten years ago, how could I have become like this now?"

"I stole it?" Marianna suddenly sneered, "Why don't we first trace back how 'your' repair solution was formulated?"

"If it wasn't for the purpose of repairing your injuries and genetic problems, why would I pay the price of premature aging, give birth one by one...match one by one...just to obtain a successful evolutionary sample of the A-type original gene!"

"It's all because of you!"

"Reproduction? Matching?" The gray-clothed man laughed strangely, "Do you mean machine matching? Or clone reproduction?"

"You just need to lie down and provide a few cells...haha..."

"You!" The red-haired, blue-eyed omega was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her elegant and calm demeanor was completely gone. She wanted to grab something and throw it over, but stopped inexplicably.

Lan Ya stared down at her toes, her whole body trembling slightly. She tried her best to minimize her presence. She understood her identity as a tool and didn't want to know too much.

Yet, despite this, it was still noticed.

"Lan Ya, go get me a glass of water." Marianna suddenly stopped fighting, and in a very tired tone she instructed her nominally adopted daughter.

"Yes." Lan Ya replied in a low voice and retreated as if she had been pardoned.

*

After getting the water, Lan Ya waited outside with the tray in her hand until she saw Yindu's special envoy Julie coming out. She politely saluted and greeted her.

Julie said to her in a particularly friendly manner: "Ms. Lan Ya, it was a pleasure chatting with you just now! If you need anything, you can contact me at any time. Even if..."

The alpha with white hair on his temples smiled meaningfully and said, "Even if it's a personal matter, I can do it."

Lan Ya half-knelt and saluted, with a shy expression: "Thank you for your kindness."

But she knew very well in her heart that she had not spoken a word to the special envoy in the room just now. Everything Julie thought was just an illusion under the control of pheromones and the queen's mental power.

After sending off the temporary envoy, the head of the Will family, Lan Ya stood up. She took a deep breath, making sure her expression was expressionless, and then she knocked on the door and entered.

Inside, the two masters whom she had to address as 'Master' were at the end of their daily quarrel.

"You still need my ability," Marena's tone turned cold, "I also need to obtain the continuation of my fourth life from you. Haven't we been tied together since the ball when you first marked me as Leia?"

“Yes.” The man in gray sighed resignedly, “Ever since you obtained your first life extension… I regret it…”

"The only thing I don't regret is that I have produced the most successful sample so far." The man in gray drove the wheelchair to the window, his eyes facing the direction of the command tower in the core area of ​​the First Fortress.

"It's a pity that you chose to let the clones complete their final development, and abandoned all the clone mothers on the border planet when the robots invaded..."

"Otherwise, with the bloodline you inherited from Red-haired Arale, let alone controlling a 5S-alpha named Will," the gray-clothed man smiled meaningfully, "even if it's the direct bloodline of Gerald, who is known to be the most difficult to match, what can you do?"

"One-fifth of the maternal bloodline bond, as I requested at the time, was implanted into the 'slave species' from the fifth week of the embryo..." Seeing the regret on Marena's face, the gray-clothed man took the opportunity to continue with a reproachful tone: "You only needed to open up your rare 'empathy' mental power as 'Red-haired Arale' and start nourishing the mental power from the third month of the embryo!"

"Why are we in such a difficult situation now?"

"After that rebel returned from the Tomb of the Universe and gained the inheritance and recognition of the people, he is no longer under Yindu's control! Under the pretext of guarding the border, he has been entrenched in this First Fortress!"

"What trouble it has caused!"

The gray-robed man's tone became more and more angry as he spoke:

"So what if you have the highest authority over the empire?"

"I will still be like those lower-class nobles, begging for a small test tube of solution!"

As he spoke, the man in gray laughed strangely, and in the middle of his laugh he burst into a violent coughing fit.

She couldn't help but say, "But even if I, who was called Laya back then, had awakened three chakras in advance and had enough mental strength to withstand multiple mental connections..."

Marianna suppressed the regret on her face and muttered to herself, "There are as many as 53,200 matches. How can I accompany each of them to grow in the mental link... and then select the most successful one..."

"After all, I am a human being, not a worm."

The room was silent.

a long time.

The man in gray spoke up, breaking the silence: "The Royal Academy of Sciences' experiment has entered the middle and late stages. It would be best if we could get the latest genetic backup this time..."

"If we can't get it, then we can only consider the fusion of humans and insects..."

"After all, you know that not only is the trend of the universe's collapse irresistible, but the 'fifty-year' observation period is also approaching..."

"No matter how good Nader is, he is still a beta."

"He can cause trouble for a while, but he can never own the entire empire!"

Marlaina remained silent. The main reason why she secretly took the Gray Man's 'Gene Repair Fluid' was because she was "fearful of aging and becoming ugly".

After she returned this time, she had, of course, seen those human-worm fusion experiments...

"If that really happens," Marlena sneered, "I would rather die."

"what ever."

The man in gray uttered the last two words harshly, then drove the wheelchair and disappeared behind the scarlet curtain again.

*

The room was silent for a long time again.

So long that the artificial sunset dyed the dusk of the First Fortress red.

Maraina was melancholy for a while, remembering that the omega on the floating island would be entering the sixth course of treatment for O-type gene supplementation tonight.

This was the breakthrough point she had been planning for a long time.

Marlaina withdrew her gaze and turned her head.

Then she saw Lan Ya still half-squatting to salute. The beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes seemed to suddenly realize something and exclaimed "Ah", and quickly and affectionately helped up the poor little one whose legs were already trembling.

"Lan Ya, are you scared?" Marianna patted her hands affectionately and soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid! I let you see this just to make you understand that alphas are the most unreliable species."

"The so-called destined AO matching rate is the biggest lie created to facilitate the alpha's control over the omega!"

"As a reproductive machine, no matter how well an omega is maintained, its life span will not exceed the gender limit of 150 years. And those omegas who have been brainwashed by so-called perfect love will just keep giving birth..."

"Little did you know," the red-haired, blue-eyed omega's sad smile was extremely ironic, "every time you complete the task of reproduction, the instinct inherited from your genes will default to the fact that 'you' as an individual has depreciated and can enter the aging period..."

"Even if the omegas in the reproductive cycle occasionally have the budding of spiritual power or the birth of rare species... there will be no social resources to support them!"

"Since we are unfortunate enough to be omegas, we must fight for our rights and our lives! Even -"

The usually gentle red-haired omega now had a sly expression and uttered a few words through his teeth:

"Go grab it regardless of everything!"

"Have you remembered, Lan Ya?" Patting the young omega's trembling hand, Marena realized that her own high-level omega's pheromones were too oppressive for this young creature that had been born in the culture dish less than two years ago.

So much so that the blue-haired omega was now curled up at her feet and shivering like a little animal.

So she quickly adjusted her emotions, released the scent of soothing pheromones, and said softly:

"Lan Ya, you are the best omega and the child I trust the most."

She gently helped the blue-haired girl up and coaxed her with the greatest tenderness: "Come on, let me see what good progress you have made with Daniel..."

Lan Ya nodded obediently, raised her face and closed her eyes, and with body language of complete trust, she allowed the plump white hand to touch her brow.

*

Although they were both 'precious species' of the mind control system, Marianna, whose mental power was two levels higher than Lan Ya's, found the 'slave species' in her brain very smoothly. After a circle of meticulous mental thread reinforcement, she found the fragments related to the mission.

As if she had experienced it herself, she quickly read all of Lan Ya's memories related to the target 'Daniel' after she arrived at the First Fortress.

It was in the busiest market in the First Fortress's civilian area. The blue-haired girl, who was wearing a pheromone suppressor and pretending to be a beta, was accidentally knocked down by a skinny beta who was on the phone. When the two looked at each other, Marianna saw the other's surprised eyes.

Afterwards, they exchanged contact numbers very smoothly, learned about each other's identities very smoothly, and also easily gained the sympathy and love of the beta youth.

Of course, it took a little effort to dig out the encrypted information from the young man named Daniel through mind control.

The rewards are quite rich.

Until three days ago, the person on the floating island was about to enter the fourth course of oral therapy.

Collot, who was originally in charge of the omega gene repair, was completely busy with matters related to the departure of the "Giant Whale", so he completely handed over the last step of drug matching to Daniel.

Their chance has come.

At the place where Lan Ya and Daniel met, Marlena was not surprised to see herself taking off her hood to reveal a changed appearance from Lan Ya's perspective.

Just a few words of conversation.

Daniel on the other side said in a trembling voice, "Can you really revive Alyssa... my sister..."

Marlaina saw herself answering “yes.”

She had a very clear memory of this part, so she skipped it.

What follows is some daily interactions, trivial and boring.

until--

Thirteen hours ago, everyone's attention was on the departure of the "Giant Whale".

Lan Ya, who was standing outside the venue, had eyes full of tears and gently placed a pink capsule into Daniel's hand with her slender hands.

As Lan Ya's red lips opened and closed, Daniel's face fell into a brief moment of emptiness, just like the Yindu envoy.

The red capsule silently merged into the transparent solution. After a slight reaction, only a little pink sediment remained.

This type of precipitation is a normal reaction to medication.

Just a little more dosage.

Exit from Lan Ya's mental memory.

The red-haired, blue-eyed beauty smiled and said with great satisfaction, "Looks like it's tonight."

“Let’s take action.”
