I, the Supreme Overlord, Start by Enslaving the Zerg Queen
Chapter 47 - 47: New Waves Arise

This is just a pipe dream.

Rose had no intention of finding a partner, she was merely teasing Charles.

The lust poison was merely a trivial matter. As a Succubus Princess who mastered divine arts, she had resolved the issue long ago.

At the very least, she wouldn't be like her sisters, who let their lower halves do the thinking.

Regarding Lilith discovering Charles, Rose wasn't lying. Because her mother was indeed such a doting parent. Nearly all of Rose's friends and acquaintances had been roughly assessed by her mother through secret method.

But because her mother was a Twelfth-Tier Succubus Queen on the verge of becoming a demigod, she couldn't use avatars or similar methods to snatch people under the oppression of the Continent of Overlord.

Otherwise, her bed would have long been filled with beautiful women and handsome men.

After all, Rose was a sucker for good looks and didn't like playing with unattractive people.

Seeing this message, Charles could only smile wryly and shake his head. How did a perfectly good friendship turn into this?

Yet another person lusting after him.

[Charles: Are you serious?]

[Rose: Hmm...half and half. If you can quickly reach the Seventh Tier, I might actually consider pairing up with a male just to stop my mother from bothering me.]

[Rose: Alright, my mother may be observing you, but she won't think too much of it. I'm going to get you some high-tier materials. Bye!]

With that, Rose's avatar dimmed.

Charles smiled wryly again.

It seemed he had attracted the attention of a formidable character, a Succubus Queen... She must be at least Tenth Tier, right?

Previously, because of the Medusa incident, Serpent Emperor Yggdrasil had been posting daily rants on the Global Channel, filled with foul language.

Now, he had managed to attract the attention of a Succubus Queen, likely an entity on par with Yggdrasil, and all because he had chatted with her daughter and conducted a straightforward transaction.

Was this bad luck or what?

"That Succubus Queen must be a total daughter-obsessed freak, watching so closely!" Charles muttered in exasperation.

In a corner he couldn't see, a space rift opened, revealing a sinister, purple eye.

Charles continued to rant about the Succubus Queen.

Unaware that the giant eye was listening to every word he said. The eye swiveled around, as if it had found an entertaining new toy.

"Ahem...." A voice filled with irresistible allure echoed in Charles' room. It wasn't loud, but Charles heard it with perfect clarity.

"Who's there?" Charles' hair stood on end. He felt like he had encountered some unfathomable entity, the will behind that voice...

In an instant, he activated the full power of his Bloodthirsty Zerg and Overlord abilities, scanning his surroundings warily.

But the voice didn't return, and the giant eye that Charles had never noticed gradually faded away.

That eye belonged to none other than Rose's mother, the Succubus Queen and a dominant ruler of the Land of Turmoil—Lilith.

Lilith had sized up the young man. Apart from being a bit of a flirt, he had no other significant flaws.

A flirt? Well, what man isn't to some extent?

As long as he passed her tests for sexual prowess, looks, strength, and ambition, everything else would be left to her daughter and fate.

Oh, right.

He deserved some compensation for the mental strain...

Just as Charles continued to be on high alert, a space rift suddenly appeared directly above him.

Before he could react, a pile of various objects glowing with dark energy tumbled onto his head, leaving him dazed but unharmed.

Obsidian, a Banshee's Heart, Fallen Angel feathers... All sorts of high-tier dark resources scattered around him, leaving Charles bewildered as he stood up, staring blankly at his surroundings.

Someone was definitely just watching him!

"And that gaze... it was terrifying!" Charles muttered to himself, staring at the materials with a mix of shock and uncertainty.

These items were high-level dark materials, ranging from the Fifth to the Seventh Tier, and would be worth a fortune in the outside world. Yet here they were, carelessly piled up like garbage.

Considering what Rose had said about the Succubus Queen observing him, could it be... that she had sent these to him?

It wasn't unreasonable for Charles to reach this conclusion, given that he had no significant connections in this world.

It couldn't possibly be Serpent Emperor Yggdrasil crossing realms to give him a gift, right?

Based on that guy's daily activity of phishing on the Global Channel, if Charles had revealed his location, Yggdrasil would have crossed realms to kill him.

With a sigh, Charles resigned himself to the situation.

He slowly crouched down to collect the materials, thinking he would discuss it with Rose once she had organized the resources that evening.

He couldn't afford to casually accept this gift.

After all, the one giving him these items was a Succubus, and Succubus were among the most lustful races on the Continent of Overlord. He was genuinely afraid that Lilith might mark him as part of her harem.

And so, an uneventful day went by.

That evening, when Rose returned, she handed over all the resources to Charles and explained that her mother simply found him interesting. Relieved, Charles accepted the materials without further mental burden.

In front of such a powerful figure, whether he accepted or not made little difference.

Tenth Tier... it was too elusive. In his previous life, he had never seen a reborn Overlord reach the Tenth Tier.

That night, in the laboratory.

Charles and his three foolish female slaves stared in amazement at the large creature before them.

[Observer—War Fortress]

[Race: Zerg]

[Combat Power: Mid-Tier Third Level]

[Skills: Information Relay, Enhanced Vision, Pocket Dimension, High-Speed Flight]

[Description: A Mutation unit successfully modified by the Zerg Queen, with superior vision compared to standard Observers, and capable of housing Zerg within its body, turning it into a flying war fortress.]

You have to admit, when Catherine gets going, it's like a form of dimensional reduction strike.

Seriously, how many people would be driven to despair by these attributes?

"Not bad, not bad. I'd heard that you successfully completed this research and even notified Medusa to witness it. Now that I see it, it truly is a groundbreaking development." Charles said warmly, rewarding Catherine with a gentle pat on the head.

"Can this Observer be mass-produced?" Medusa asked in amazement, looking at the creation before her, puzzled.

Catherine squinted her eyes under Charles' touch and replied, "Not yet. To be honest, this success was mostly due to luck. I had a sudden burst of inspiration and split half of the Bloodthirsty Zerg essence in my body to make it work."

"I don't even understand the underlying principle yet. The next two experiments wasted two sets of Observer materials for nothing."

Just like last time, Catherine hated these one-off Mutation cases the most. They were truly a headache.

"So, the good news you mentioned earlier was this mutated Observer?" Charles asked, amused.

Catherine shrugged, "Yes, it's this Observer that can serve as an aerial fortress."

"I checked the internal space, it can easily accommodate a few hundred elite Zerg, each about two meters in size. Medusa can take her army with her on her next exploration."

Everyone understood after this explanation. Indeed, if Medusa could bring her legion along, she could maximize her combat effectiveness.

Charles didn't blame Catherine, he even felt that his female slave was finally being a bit more reasonable.

Whether it's science or mysticism, technological progress always comes with long-term accumulation, which takes time!

Catherine's previous pace of research was truly terrifying.

Seeing Medusa's eyes filled with anticipation, Charles said helplessly, "Alright, alright. The command of this Observer will be temporarily handed over to you. Coordinate with Catherine for the handover."

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely expand your territory!" Medusa's face lit up with joy upon hearing that the Observer was being bestowed upon her.

It's only been a few months, and already Master's Zerg have such an impressive flying unit. Who knows what they will develop into given a few decades!

Charles nodded in satisfaction, then scooped up Little Green, who was daydreaming nearby. As he rubbed her small belly, he laughed and said, "It's going to be hard work for you. Remember to focus on sustainable development for this formation, and also send some worms to work on environmental improvements."

"And most importantly, your personal growth in strength is crucial. Don't let these tasks hinder your cultivation. I have enough resources here for you all to advance to the Fourth Tier. Go to the treasury and get what you need later."

"In the Continent of Overlord, high-level power is key."

Little Green raised her little paw to show she understood, while Catherine and Medusa, the workaholics of their respective fields, also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, since the day they entered the Continent of Overlord, they could only move forward.

Otherwise, the Louis incident could very well become a reality.

Their Master needed them to protect him!

"Oh, right. Catherine, you should tutor Little Green on her studies. This time, I want to see some results." Charles suddenly remembered something and handed Little Green over to Catherine before slowly walking away.

...

For the next two months, Charles focused on honing the essence of the Bloodthirsty Zerg within the Zerg territory, solidifying his Fourth Tier strength.

There was no other way. The first to third tiers were merely about accumulation, but reaching the Fourth Tier meant formally entering the long cultivation system of the Continent of Overlord.

The path ahead required not just quantity and genetic adjustments but also a mystical state of mind.

Fortunately, Charles had been a Sixth Tier Serpent Overlord in his previous life. At least until the Seventh Tier, his progress wouldn't be hindered by issues of mental state.

But today, an unexpected event pulled him out of his cultivation.

Serene Forest, turmoil rises once more.
