Chapter 508: The Blood-Spewing Ghost Master |
The emergence of the new Superweapon drew the attention of many troops at the Base. After all, the changes in their bodies were something they could all perceive.
Unfortunately, this thing belonged to the Red Alert Base and not the Red Alert Empire. The residents of Yan Yun Star who had become citizens of the Red Alert Empire did not enjoy this benefit.
Unless Su Chen opened up permissions to let them enjoy this treatment, but there was no need for that.
"Commander, what is this...?" Ju Ling pointed at herself, feeling that her defensive power had increased tenfold. Could it be that this was the effect of the new Superweapon?
"This is the new Superweapon, Absolute Defense. You've seen its effect. Within a range of ten thousand kilometers centered on it, all Red Alert units will have their defense increased tenfold," Su Chen explained.
Ju Ling and Tanya's eyes lit up. They understood how powerful this Superweapon was. With it, the difficulty of attacking the Base in the future would increase tenfold or more.
With the new Superweapon settled, Su Chen's attention turned to the final reward.
One Cocoon Evolution opportunity!
The power of Cocoon Evolution was evident from Ju Ling's transformation. Currently, Su Chen's Super Soldiers included Yun Ru, Libra, Tanya, Ju Ling, and Lily.
Lily had been dispatched to develop outside Yan Yun Star and didn't currently need it either. So, the final choices were between Tanya and Libra.
Just as Su Chen was torn between the two, Tanya spoke up, "Commander, let's give the Cocoon Evolution opportunity to Libra this time. She is facing a large number of the Ghost Clan in the Underworld, and she needs the strength."
Su Chen considered this and realized that Tanya was right. Sooner or later, he would allow all his Super Soldiers to undergo Cocoon Evolution. It didn't matter whether it happened sooner or later.
"Alright, this Cocoon Evolution opportunity goes to Libra."
Meanwhile, in a certain part of the Underworld, Libra sat on a luxurious throne, surrounded by powerful former members of the Ghost Clan. However, there were very few elderly individuals among them; most were robust-looking youths.
This was because when Libra's second persona had appeared, it had directly slain some of the elderly leaders of the Ghost Clan. The rest were mostly younger members, chosen due to a combination of prophecy and Libra's formidable strength, becoming her subordinates.
Soon, they realized that this Witch-sama was incredibly powerful. No matter what kind of opposition came from the Ghost Clan, a single glance from Witch-sama was often enough to kill them.
They couldn't discern what method Witch-sama had used; they were completely ignorant of Psychic power.
"Ghost Clan members of the eighth order in this City have been brought under my control. The remaining Ghost Clan members are insignificant, and I will soon have control of this City. This can be considered the first victory of the former Ghost Clan over the latter."
As Libra contemplated this, she suddenly felt a change in her body. It was a positive transformation, an unintended release of power that caused the former Ghost Clan members around her to prostrate on the ground.
"Witch-sama, Witch-sama!"
No matter how they called out, Libra didn't react. Cocoon Evolution was a phase of improvement, and Libra's strength skyrocketed in a short period.
After a while, Libra withdrew her aura. Only then could the former Ghost Clan members stand up, but their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at her.
Indeed, Libra had killed some of their tribe's elders, but she had led the former Ghost Clan out of their predicament and was about to occupy a City belonging to the latter Ghost Clan. This was something they had never dared to imagine before.
In doing so, they gradually forgot their resentment towards Libra and began to genuinely support her. Both the former Ghost Clan and the latter Ghost Clan were practical races; they would choose whoever was advantageous to them. Currently, Libra was offering them the most benefits, so it was only natural for them to choose her.
Moreover, Libra's strength had increased once again after Cocoon Evolution. They now felt that even if the Ghost Emperor appeared, they wouldn't be powerless.
After Libra had recovered, she realized that this was Commander's doing.
"Libra, I just gave you a Cocoon Evolution opportunity. Your strength should have increased significantly. There may be powerful Ghost Clan members in the Underworld, so be careful," Su Chen's voice reached her ears.
Libra smiled slightly, "I thought Commander might give the second Cocoon Evolution opportunity to Tanya, especially since she has been serving Commander diligently, with a lot of hard work even though she hasn't seen much action."
Su Chen cleared his throat, "Am I that kind of person? You are in a much more dangerous position than Tanya. She volunteered to give you this opportunity."
"Commander, please thank Tanya for me. Once I've completely taken control of the Underworld, I will return."
Su Chen rubbed his chin. Completely taking control of the Underworld might be a bit difficult. Even if the Ghost Clan sent a large portion of their fighting force to the surface, it didn't mean the underground Ghost Clan would be defenseless.
While Su Chen was ecstatic about his rewards, the Ghost Clan was on the verge of collapse.
This time, they had gathered a large number of Ghost Masters and used the resentment energy left behind by the Shadow Ghosts to set up a perfect Weapons in the skies above four human Cities.
However, the operation had ended as soon as it began. All ten Dark Cloud Weapons above the Cities had disappeared.
These Dark Clouds and Ghost Masters were interconnected. Once the Dark Clouds were destroyed, the Ghost Masters would also suffer heavy injuries.
One by one, all the Ghost Masters started spewing blood, and their surroundings were stained with red.
Unable to support themselves, the eighth-order Ghost Masters promptly fainted, and even those above the ninth order were in a miserable state. While they retained their consciousness, they looked utterly disheveled.
"Who is responsible for destroying our Weapons? Investigate!" With an order from a Ghost Master, all the Ghost Clan members began to act. Simultaneously, they contacted the human traitor, and it didn't take long for them to receive news. After all, many people knew about this incident. (To be continued…)
