Chapter 37 Chapter 37 "It feels pretty exciting outside...
The earth is a beautiful blue planet.
After millions of years of evolution, creatures called humans have reached the top of the food chain, improving humanities and developing technology. Humans just want to build their home better.
"When I woke up, I was in this strange body. I don't know what happened. Fortunately, the origin of the Reda, Amo, only regards this male insect body as its only master."
"You know what happened next. We made an emergency landing on Earth. I found you lying by the water on my way to get water. The slaves on the Reda escaped... I was completely swept along by these things."
In the lush forest, under an ancient tree that was thicker than the trees next to it, blood stains that were red to black had stained a large area of soil. From a distance, it looked like a black body of water filled with dirty garbage.
If you get closer, you can see that the floating objects are not garbage at all.
The ground was littered with shredded internal organs.
Fortunately, these smelly rotten things were some distance away from Gal and could only be smelled faintly.
Gal covered his nose with disgust, turned his head to the blond orc who was hugging him, and smelled the familiar smell of dry straw in the sunlight. The annoying and sickening fishy smell was suppressed.
"Do you know what happened to the Earth to make it the desolate planet it is today?" Angus held the male insect that was stirring in his arms tighter.
Gal replied, "I asked Amo before. Unfortunately, the Reda was hit by a cosmic earthquake on the way, and Amo's database was also damaged to a certain extent. Some data was permanently lost, including information about the Earth."
"This is the most remote planet among the dozens of planets that the higher-level Zerg took over from their overlord when they occupied a lower-level civilization called Zai more than two hundred years ago."
As a general who spends 85% of the year on expeditions, Angus is familiar with almost every planet in the universe, even the barren planets that have become ruins.
"Wasn't the Earth invaded and destroyed by advanced insects?"
Gal had always believed that, just like what was portrayed in the movies, humans, with their rapid technological development, were overconfident and explored the moon, Saturn, Jupiter...
From the eight planets to the universe, friendly messages are continuously sent, attracting countless alien races who want to plunder the earth's rich resources.
This is not the case.
"It took only two hundred years for humans to go from only being able to use cold weapons like bows and swords to the widespread use of artificial intelligence on the battlefield. Humanity has developed too rapidly. If this continues, it won't be long before humans can break free from the constraints of three-dimensional space."
"There are many civilizations that don't want a race to compete with them for cosmic resources for no reason. The Zai civilization closest to Earth has sent several warships to Earth."
"No matter how powerful humans are, they cannot resist life forms of a higher dimension than themselves. The human government and army were first destroyed by the Zai people. After losing their army, humans were slaughtered crazily. The lords of the earth ordered their men to use the most powerful weapon in their hands, called..."
With the technology of the Oaks Empire, that weapon was a low-level weapon that even children wouldn't use in a fight. Angus couldn't remember what that thing was called for a moment.
"Nuclear weapons," Gal promptly added.
"Yes, it was this nuclear weapon. They launched many nuclear weapons to attack the Zai warships. Unfortunately, those weapons were of little use to the warships of the high-latitude civilization. The few holes that were penetrated were quickly repaired by the warships' own repair systems."
"The nuclear weapons did not harm the Zai people, but instead turned the Earth upside down and spread radiation all over the planet."
"The destruction of a low-dimensional civilization did not have any impact on the universe. Other civilizations simply marked this planet as a barren planet that did not need to be explored."
"Perhaps some humans were lucky enough to escape the massacre and radiation and continue to live on this destroyed planet."
Angus told Gal everything he knew about what happened to Earth.
When Gal said that his soul was actually a human from Earth, Angus had no doubts.
How could a male insect who was spoiled by the whole society and caused permanent damage to his fiancé care about the slaves and be a kind and easy-to-get-along lord?
Previously, Angus had suspected and been wary of the silver-haired male insect, wondering if he was two-faced.
Now, everything is explained.
"Because humans are developing too rapidly, aliens who are more powerful than humans have come to Earth to exterminate humans?"
The man is innocent unless he possesses the jade.
How ironic that working too hard to develop ourselves has led to the extinction of the human race.
"It's the law of the jungle, it's the law of nature on Earth, it's the law of the universe as well." Angus wanted to comfort the sad male insect, but his words were so realistic that they seemed to hit the other person's heart.
Angus realized that he had said something wrong and closed his mouth tightly, his eyes wandering off into the distance.
"That makes sense. The law of the jungle applies everywhere." Gal's mood was relatively calm.
From ancient times to the present, his country has suffered countless disasters. Coveted by the whole world, they were once on the verge of national destruction.
But so what? They still became the victors when they were outnumbered and returned to the top of the world.
"I will make mankind prosper. Whether they are orcs, insects, or space wanderers, as long as they follow the rules I set, they are all my people."
"No, it's not just about restoring the prosperity of mankind." Gal's golden eyes became brighter. "I want our new species to become one of the overlords of the universe, and the earth will no longer be bullied."
"Angus, come and help me?" He turned around and met the blond beastman's eyes.
The Lion King's flexible body was like the softest and most comfortable cushion in the world. Gal was so tired from looking for someone that he forced himself to stay awake and bit the tip of his tongue to prevent himself from falling asleep before hearing the answer.
"Given our current relationship, who else can I help if not you?" Angus supported his still sore waist.
"I have a slave contract imprinted on me by you, and I can't leave you at all." He joked.
When she was suddenly stamped with this slave contract, she could not stay more than 20 meters away from the male insect. Her body obeyed the male insect's orders, and she was accompanied by irritability and humiliation day and night.
In their subsequent interactions, Gal respected him in everything and covered up for him in front of everyone, and he almost forgot the contract.
"I'll try to help you untie it."
The slave indenture that he accidentally carved into Angus has always been Gal's concern.
Be they friends, brothers, lovers or comrades-in-arms, slave contracts are the dregs that destroy dignity, and Gal will eradicate them from the earth sooner or later.
"I am the new lord of the Earth, Angus, and I will make you my equal as the lord's wife."
"I was letting you go last night. I don't think your small body can handle one round from me. Don't push your luck, little guy." The male insect in his arms was shaking from laughing. Angus scratched the male insect's straight nose with his fingers and smiled indulgently.
According to Gal, the human soul in his body has only lived on Earth for more than 20 years. Compared with him, the "elder" who is almost 200 years old, it is indeed at the level of a child.
"I am a male insect. I am born with this body shape. Look how long I have been training with you, and I am still like this. When I was a human, I was also a muscular man with a height of 1.9 meters."
Gal exaggerated a little bit and beautified his height. A height of less than 1.8 meters was turned into a strong man of 1.9 meters in his mouth.
Anyway, Angus didn't know the specific condition of his human body, so he was already being lenient by not saying that his height was two meters taller than Angus.
"Oh? Really? Then whoever has the ability will take the lead next time. I think it's fair."
The strength of him in his previous life and this life together cannot match that of Angus, the lion beastman.
His words aroused Angus's competitive spirit. Thinking that he might end up lying in bed for three days and three nights without being able to get out of bed, Gal became anxious.
She just turned around in the blond beastman's arms, with a look of helplessness and pity between her brows. She buried her head in the other's neck and begged for mercy in a coquettish manner.
Gal had completely understood Angus's nature of being soft-hearted and not hard-hearted.
Angus pouted awkwardly, "For this kind of thing, it's enough to have fun. I felt pretty good last night. Let's keep it this way from now on."
It's not that he is too soft-hearted towards the male insect, it's just that this little guy's arms and legs are not even half as thick as his, and the delicate beauty can't stand his torture.
"Yes, yes, Angus, you're the best."
The male insect was like a furry little fox, rubbing against his neck constantly. Its long silver hair was like a little fox's big tail, occasionally slipping into his collar and poking at his chest.
The spot where it was poked was...unsightly.
Angus hunched over, trying to hide the small changes in his body.
"Angus, the night view here is so beautiful."
He didn't know if he had a dirty mind, but the male insect's voice sounded a little more charming to him.
"Well, the scenery is nice." Angus covered his eyes in embarrassment. He was in no mood to look at the scenery.
What's more, the ground under the tree was littered with broken arms and legs, and the sun had completely set.
The weather will probably not be very good tomorrow. The sky will be foggy, without a single star, and it will be pitch black in the distance.
There is no beautiful scenery at all.
"It feels exciting outside." Gal whispered into the blond orc's ear, which was red enough to bleed, like a succubus tempting humans to fall.
"Exciting...exciting..." Angus, who was dizzy, had no idea what he was saying. He just kept repeating the last few words said by the silver-haired male insect.
"Then, let's try again?"
"Well, let's try it, let's try it." Angus, who fell into the male insect trap, kept responding.
The well-behaved Lion King was so adorable that it made people unable to stop. Gal reached out and stroked the Lion King's thick and somewhat rough golden hair.
It's like petting a large, napping wild cat.
