“1269 has been up there for 5 minutes, why hasn’t anything happened yet?”
“It’s only been five minutes, wait a little.”
“I hope everything goes well…”
Standing before the wormhole, Emperor Might, Vulcan, and the group of other big shots looked at the alien spacecraft above their heads as they waited nervously.
At that moment, no one was in the mood to chat. After all, this was related to the survival of humanity. If 1269 was successful, the situation would be under control.
If it failed, the situation would move in an uncontrollable direction.
While everyone was silent, the camp commandant went to speak with Ling Jiu.
“Ling Jiu, after this is over, please open up a wormhole between Europa and Mars, so we can send the waters of Europa to Mars directly.”
Hearing this, the crowd’s attention was drawn as they looked at Ling Jiu.
“Yes, Ma’am!” Ling Jiu nodded.
Europa and Mars were currently separated by Io. Besides, although they could send seawater over, the volume was too small and the flow rate too slow.
It would take hundreds of years if they wanted to turn Mar’s surface into an ocean at this rate.
It was simply too slow.
However, by opening a wormhole between Europa and Mars, the flow rate would increase greatly. Of course, if they could open a few more up, the speed would undoubtedly be even faster.
“Speaking of wormholes, I have a request to make.”
A blond Caucasian powerhouse smiled at Ling Jiu. “Brother Ling, I guess you know about Saturn’s sixth moon, Titan?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
Ling Jiu nodded.
“Titan is a methane-rich planet, and the surface amount itself is enough for us to use for hundreds of years. So this is a huge wealth.”
The blond Caucasian man laughed. “If you have time, please open up a wormhole to Titan.”
“Eudes, what are you scheming there?”
Vulcan squinted at the blonde Caucasian and snorted coldly. “Titan is humanity’s common resource. Are you planning to take it for yourself?”
“Brother Vulcan, what are you saying?”
The Caucasian hunk called Eudes laughed. “Titan is naturally a shared resource for humanity, but it needs to be developed and utilized. I only want the development rights for Titan and to bring the methane from Titan back to Earth…”
“Silence!”
At that moment, Emperor Might suddenly said, “1269 has succeeded.”
Everyone was shocked before they rejoiced. “Brother Might, has 1269 really done it?”
“It’s done it!”
Emperor Might smiled. “It has successfully taken control of the alien spacecraft, so the ship is now in our hands.”
“Thank goodness!”
“Good showing 1269! Now let’s see how long these aliens can show off.”
“Everyone!” Emperor Might smiled. “I don’t think I need to say what comes next. I only have one request: kill. Kill all of them!”
“Understood!”
Everyone nodded solemnly as they flew into the air and disappeared into the horizon.
“Xiao Luo!”
Emperor Might looked at the camp commandant. “You and Ling Jiu stay and guard the wormhole. Don’t let any alien or Xenomorph step foot on Earth!”
“Yes, Chairman.”
The camp commandant nodded.
“Yeah.”
Following that, Emperor Might disappeared.
As Ling Jiu looked at his disappearing visage, he knew that an unprecedented battle was about to erupt across the planet.
Earth’s stellar lifeforms versus alien stellar lifeforms.
One could imagine the scale of the battle between dozens of stellar lifeforms.
“Roar!”
Right then, a thundering roar was heard. Ling Jiu looked over and saw a black Xenomorph with a long tail. It drooled while it walking toward him step by step.
The Xenomorph was not big, standing at only two meters tall, but it was surrounded by flames so it was not difficult to guess its true identity.
“An Arcanist Xenomorph,” Ling Jiu whispered under his breath.
“Another Xenomorph that took over a cadet’s body… So, this Xenomorph is comparable to a Class 9 Beast Emperor.”
The cadets in the matriculation camp were at least Level 8 Arcanists. That meant a Xenomorph born from a parasitized cadet would at least be comparable to a Class 9 Beast Emperor or even a Class 10 one!
“Ling Jiu, watch the wormhole. I’ll deal with this monster,” the camp commandant said.
“It’s just a mere monster, there’s no need for you to take action.” Ling Jiu laughed and met the Xenomorph instantly.
He then opened his mouth and violently sucked in a bunch of air. Just like that, a black hole appeared out of nothing.
The majestic Xenomorph was swallowed by the black hole long before it had the opportunity to show off its powers.
Soon after, it was immolated by the Inner World.
“Ugh…”
Seeing this, the camp commandant had originally wanted to remind Ling Jiu to be careful, but she did not expect the battle to end so quickly.
A Xenomorph comparable to a Class 9 Beast Emperor had been so easily swallowed?
You had to be joking!
“Ling Jiu, what ability is that?” the camp commandant asked in amazement.
“The Devourer Arcana.”
Ling Jiu smiled and replied.
“The Devourer Arcana?”
The camp commandant murmured, and just as she was about to continue to inquire, a sharp rip of the air rang as a figure in black armor appeared.
It was the alien. “Ling Jiu, fall back!”
The camp commandant’s expression changed slightly, as she quickly shouted.
“Yes, Ma’am!”
While Ling Jiu really wanted to devour it, it was still a stellar lifeform, and he knew when he needed to stand back. After all, his foe was way stronger than him.
After the alien appeared, it first scanned the surroundings with cold eyes as if looking for the trace of that Xenomorph. When it did not find it, its gaze landed on Ling Jiu and the camp commandant. Then, it attacked without any warning.
“Hmph!” The camp commandant snorted coldly.
Boom!
An extremely terrifying gravitational force instantly enveloped the area and caused the alien to stagger, reducing its speed drastically.
“Gravity Drill.”
The camp commandant grabbed the void, and the alien trembled all over as blood flowed out of its nostrils and the corners of its mouth. After squirming for a few moments it totally stopped moving.
“Huh… it’s over just like that?”
Ling Jiu was stunned for a moment. Weren’t the aliens all stellar lifeforms? Why were they killed in just two moves? That’s just too weak!
“The strengths of these aliens are very average.”
Seeing Ling Jiu’s stunned look, the camp commandant faintly explained, “Although they are stellar lifeforms, they are at most comparable to a Level 10 Arcanist. Also, they have no Arcanas, so in terms of combat power, they are weaker than an Arcanist of the same level.”
“Oh, I see!”
Ling Jiu suddenly understood. He licked his lips as a trace of greed appeared in his eyes.
“You want to devour it?”
The camp commandant raised her eyebrows.
“N… No!”
Ling Jiu smiled sheepishly.
“Liar.”
The camp commandant rolled her eyes at Ling Jiu and softly said, “Take all of its equipment, and its corpse is also yours.”
“Thank you, Ma’am!”
Ling Jiu quickly took off the alien’s armor and equipment before swallowing it into his Inner World.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The raging flames burned the alien corpse but unlike before, the burning speed was exceptionally slow, and it took a good ten minutes before the corpse was completely immolated.
Baaam!!
At that moment, a terrifying surge of life energy instantly poured into Ling Jiu’s body like waters from a breached dam, refining Ling Jiu’s body in a frenzy.
“Ahhh…”
Ling Jiu sighed contentedly. He could feel the cells throughout his body frantically devouring the life energy like a pack of hungry wolves…
His cells were strengthening.
His organs were strengthening.
His tissues were also strengthening.
The process lasted a good five minutes before it came to an end. Ling Jiu clenched his fists and felt the surging power.
“My strength… has been enhanced again!” Ling Jiu murmured to himself.
“But I’m sure more life energy is being hoarded. So, I need to fight now.
“A proper, all-out battle.”
The heavens seemingly heard Ling Jiu’s request, and it did not take long for another Xenomorph to appear. Ling Jiu of course would not let this opportunity pass him by.
Baaaam!!
Ling Jiu struck his fist out, and the Xenomorph had no time to evade as Ling Jiu’s fist fell upon its head.
Krak!!
The Xenomorph’s head was instantly cracked open, and it fell down, lying motionless.
“Aih… too weak!”
…
After that, Xenomorphs began to pop out from time to time, but they were all low-level goons. Yet, Ling Jiu did not complain as he devoured all of them.
Three days later, Emperor Might and the others returned one after another.
“Report the number of aliens killed.” Emperor Might looked at the crowd.
“Not many, just three.”
“A little more on my side, five.”
“I killed seven of those b*stards.”
“I only killed two…”
After calculating it, as many as 78 aliens were killed.
“Seventy-eight is just right, no more no less, the same number as 1269 gave me.”
“That is to say, the aliens that had landed on this planet had been cleaned up. Now, the only ones left are those on the spaceship.”
Everyone looked at the alien spaceship together and a brutal glint flashed in their eyes.
“Ling Jiu, open up a wormhole.”
Emperor Might looked at Ling Jiu.
“Yes, Chairman.”
Ling Jiu nodded slightly and with a wave of his hand, a wormhole appeared instantly. Emperor Might took the lead and entered the wormhole first.
Not wanting to be left behind, Vulcan and the others walked in one after another. Ling Jiu naturally wanted to see what was going on, so he sneaked into the wormhole as well.
A moment later, Ling Jiu arrived inside the alien spacecraft.
“Is this the inside of the space?”
“The ability to create wormholes is just too powerful.”
“We must train that guy Ling Jiu properly from now on.”
Everyone looked around and whispered.
“I’ve made contact with 1269. Everyone, follow me,” Emperor Might suddenly said as he walked in a certain direction. No one dared to dither, and they followed him one after another.
After a moment, everyone came to a large cabin. Rather than a cabin, it looked more like a living room.
However, the cabin was full of aliens, all clad with black helmets and armor.
At this moment, these aliens were looking coldly at Emperor Might and the others.
“You’re here!”
The huge screen lit up as 1269’s voice rang. Ling Jiu looked towards the source of the sound and saw 1269 appearing on the screen.
“1269, you’ve done well!”
Emperor Might let out a smile.
“A trivial matter.”
1269 smiled faintly. “First, let me give you some info about these aliens. They come from the Ayang-Braend system, 50,000 light-years away. They call themselves the Ayang-Braend Clan and a young civilization in the galaxy.”
“The reason they’ve come to Earth this time… is for their Coming-of-Age Ceremony.”
“Coming-of-Age Ceremony?”
Everyone was stunned.
