I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 2246: 25.136 Lone Black Star - Diminishing

Sensing the danger chasing after their backs, the royal family is now worried that they would be surrounded by the zerg race. However, with a problem with the difference of numbers, the crown princess and crown prince, despite being gods, weren’t able to defeat them. It’s just that they were worried they would not be able to protect the rest of them while fighting. Moreover, they had just recently become gods, they weren’t powerful enough to fight in space without problem like the God of Destruction and the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness.

The Crown Prince, Ye Qinya, was checking the situation of those who were chasing after them. The detector was filled with presences and four of the orbs were bigger than the rest. These four orbs were the two pairs of royal grade zergs who took over the Empire Star. One Zerg King, one Zerg Queen, one Zerg Prince and one Zerg princess. Among these four is the Zerg Prince that was beaten up by Ye Qinya at the Cosmos Battlefield. After escaping from Ye Qinya’s clutches it went home to their main nest only to learn that his parents had left the nest for a mission. He chased after them and learned that they successfully took over the empire star. The Zerg Prince was delighted when he learned about this. After all, it knew about this Empire Star far too well. This is the homeland of that annoyingly powerful human who had beaten him up.

Just as he was about to look for the Ye Qinya and Ye Caoyun, he heard that some humans were found in their little planet and flew over just to chase after them, especially after learning that these humans are awakened ones. For their insect race, eating awakened humans were the best nutrients for their evolution. That’s why even his parents came out after learning about awakened humans. It’s just who would have thought that these humans possessed a vessel that can turn invisible, almost escaping from them. Thankfully, he was smart and left some tracing liquid on it when he attacked it at the last moment before it disappeared. Now his tracing component remains on their spaceship and they can pinpoint its location thanks to this agent.

After chasing for quite a long time, the Zerg Race couldn’t understand why they still can chase and capture these awakened humans. It is all because of that annoying vehicle. How can a thing that can outrun them even exist in this world. Even with them using their wings, it was almost impossible to catch up. If not for the fact that he is a mutated royal zerg possessing a speed that can almost match a Zerg King’s speed, he and his mate would have been left behind.

This family of zergs are all ants, where the females were black in color and bigger than male zergs. As for the male zergs they are white in color with much powerful mental energy. It can be said that the male zergs are considered guides in the Zerg race while the female zergs are the sentinels. Female zerg are stronger with wings while the male zergs except for those who had evolved to King and Emperor grade, most of them are wingless. The Zerg Prince of this family is an evolved who had awakened both talents from its parents. Plue, he had agreed to be an experimental subject of the Fallen Ancient Gods and one of the successful ones. So despite being a Zerg Prince, he possessed the strength and wings of a powerful female zerg as well as a powerful mental energy he inherited from his father’s side.

However, compared to an ascended god like the crown prince, Ye Qinya, his current power isn’t enough to contend, much less overwhelm the former. But now due to the fact that Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya had to protect the recently given birth empress and the baby second prince, they cannot fight without putting them in danger. Especially not with the detected Zerg King and Zerg Queen who possessed the same level of strength as demigods among the humans.

At the zerg side, the four upfront were all flying as they chased after the spaceship from the Empire.

The Zerg Princess complained, "This human ride is truly too fast! Can’t we just shoot it down?"

"No. There is someone with a powerful mental energy in that car. Even if I attack with the King, we cannot take it down with just one hit, it would be able to escape."

"Two powerful auras. One sentinel and one guide. Ascended Gods. Not demigods like us." The Zerg King said.

The Zerg Prince noticed that this aura signature seems familiar. He had seen it when on one of his expeditions.

He said, "These auras... I know these humans. They had escaped from my trap before. However, at that time, they weren’t this powerful."

"Then this means their strength had been recently promoted. This means their current power is unstable. King, this is a battle we can fight! Should we go for it?" The Zerg Queen asked.

The Zerg King thought for a moment before saying, "Can. But we must force them to stop escaping. Princess, command two groups and head left, fly as fast as you can, even if you fly past them do not stop. If you truly do, block their path from the left side. Prince, bring three groups. Keep one group of elites who can camouflage and hide their presence. Two groups do the same place as the princess but you will be heading to the right side. Remember. Keep away from the humanship’s spaceship detection. In that ride, only one can see us even if we are away and he will not always be awake."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Zerg Queen said, "Then I will fly ahead and block the front. King, handle the rear. Take you time to fly."

With his zerg family planning to entrap the spaceship and encircle them from all sides, the human side is now in danger and they didn’t even know about it. It would be too late once they were trapped.

On the human side, inside the spaceship of the crown prince...

The soldiers at the command center had been taking shifting schedules for those who stay awake to keep an eye on the command room while the other half is asleep, then switch every after six hours so all soldiers can rest. As for the command, switching between the Grand Duke and the Crown Prince is about similar, but unlike the others they cannot leave the command area for too long. Once their presence is gone, the other soldier would feel depressed which might lead to a worse ending.

Today, the one scheduled to lead the command is the Grand Duke. He was seated at the commander’s seat watching the changes in the galaxy map before him. This map shows their routes they had taken and would take. Beside it was the 24/7 detector that showed the presence the radar had picked up. Lately there are some changes in the number of presences that were chasing after them. However the soldiers keeping a watch didn’t immediately notice the diminishing presence that the radar can detect. It was only when the presence was detected was below the normal number that they finally reported it to the higher ups.

"Report! Reporting to the commander! A huge change in the number of zerg chasing us had been detected. They have decreased a lot!" A soldier cheerfully reported.

It seems that seeing that the number of zergs chasing after them had diminished a lot. For the soldiers, this is good news. This means that the original schedule can be restored and everyone else can return to the jobs they are meant to be. Due to emergencies aside from keeping people to keep the other departments running, most old members weren’t summoned by the two commanders. These soldiers were only allowed to sleep for a few hours until the crown princess adjusted their schedules to match the demands of their current situation.

Now that the numbers of those chasing them had lessened, the stress they had experienced all these days, is finally loosening. However, they become happy too soon.

"They have truly decreased!"

"We can finally go home!"

While the other soldiers in the area were cheering, they didn’t notice the Grand Duke’s expression. Instead of feeling happy he turned serious. He continued to stare at the detector and frowned even more as more zergs seemed to disappear as a group.

"Silence!"

The soldiers who were celebrating just now all stopped and then looked at their commander. Seeing the ugly expression of the grand duke, they finally realized that maybe what they had thought wasn’t what is truly happening right now and instead of a happy ending, it might lead to a tragedy instead.

"Bring me all the recorded past results of the detector! Immediately!" The Grand Duke, Ye Jie commanded.
