Chapter 985: Chapter 484 Universe Overlord Legion

Shortly after,

The Legendary Mechanician Shen Mie tore open the void and "eliminated" the extraterrestrial invaders who had unlawfully breached the Star-Moon world, giving the upper echelons of the Republic a sigh of relief.

However, the upper echelons of the Republic failed to realize that Shen Mie’s thoughts and soul had undergone certain changes at this moment.

Indeed, Shen Mie possessed combat strength nearly that of a Main God, and it was unthinkable to the Republic higher-ups that he could still be swayed.

At present, the only remaining Main God Level individuals in Star-Moon were the Divine Tree and the Chaos Dragon God, neither of whom were experts in the realm of mind control.

If it had been suggested that Lu Ran, an extraterrestrial, was a Main God Level combatant proficient in mind control, the likelihood of it would seem even more remote.

But as luck would have it, Lu Ran was indeed very close.

Though Dark Crow did not directly reach the Main God Level, it matched the strength of an epic-level Evil God. Coupled with Lu Ran’s king’s BUFF, it enhanced the persuasiveness of speech. Also, through the Good and Evil Sensing ability of Liu Hua, they managed to find a weakness in Shen Mie’s mind, and targeting that managed to wield an influence not far off from that of Main God Level manipulation.

Then everything returned to tranquility, as if Lu Ran had never appeared.

Not long after,

The upper echelons of the Star-Moon Republic discovered an anomaly.

The Main God Research Institute... had vanished into thin air!

Without triggering any alarms, the other Mechanists who had some authority over the Main God Research Institute also had no idea. Only Shen Mie could pull off something like this undetected, bypassing numerous intelligent beings.

"Shen Mie, we need an explanation,"

Several high-level figures of the Republic collectively questioned Shen Mie.

Seven holographic screens appeared around Shen Mie, showing figures of both men and women behind them.

Shen Mie was also very calm, saying, "The previous enemy came for the Mechanical Main God. The current location of the Main God Research Institute is not safe, so for precaution, I must relocate it."

"Why didn’t you discuss it with us?" asked someone from the Republic high-ups through the screen.

"The individual is quite powerful. At the moment, within the Republic, only I am capable of contending with them. The more people know about the Main God Research Institute, the less secure it is."

Although the Republic high-ups were not satisfied with Shen Mie’s response, they had no other options.

"Eliminate the danger as soon as possible, and do not interfere with the Mechanical Main God project." In the end, they had to let Shen Mie proceed.

The main reason was that the Republic did not believe Shen Mie would betray the nation, since they had watched him grow from infancy, nurturing him from a baby onwards. All of Shen Mie’s actions and logic were expected to stand on the side of humanity and the nation.

"Understood."

When Shen Mie submerged into the void once more, Lu Ran sat cross-legged in the royal court, pampered with fine food and drink by the Mantis.

Using various tokens, Lu Ran caught the hiding Void Mantis, making it acknowledge his identity. Titles like Envoy of Time, Divine Dragon Envoy – he managed to completely bewilder the Void Mantis.

With the God of Void as his guarantor, Shen Mie further believed in Lu Ran’s identity.

"I have stored all of the energy sources, core materials, basic materials, and design diagrams of the Mechanical Main God in a particular Mechanical Space. However, until you fulfill your promise, I cannot give them to you for destruction."

Shen Mie, in the Void Royal Court, told Lu Ran.

"Okay."

Lu Ran smiled slightly. Dark Crow’s attribute was intrigue, not turning someone into a blindly obedient slave – that would require terrifyinglevels of power. Therefore, to get what he wanted, Lu Ran also needed to fulfill certain conditions, making a trade with Shen Mie.

"I will first deal with the three extraterrestrials wanting to invade Star-Moon for you."

"After this promise is fulfilled, you will hand over the manufacturing materials, design diagrams, and concepts of the Mechanical Main God for me to personally destroy."

"After destroying the Mechanical Main God, I will also eliminate the Divine Tree and Chaos Dragon God, ensuring a tripartite balance between the Plant Gods, Beast Gods, and humans without the existence of overwhelming apocalyptic strength at the Main God Level. To annihilate the Main Gods, I will need the strength of Divine Dragon Lords, requiring time to prepare before carrying it out."

Shen Mie nodded and said, "Next, I will accompany you off-world to monitor your battle with those three extraterrestrials through the entire process."

"No problem."

"But this way, won’t our deal have been exposed?" Lu Ran stroked his chin. "You’ve already claimed to the Republic that you’ve killed me, haven’t you?"

"And those three extraterrestrials, shouldn’t they be under constant surveillance by the Republic?"

"You don’t need to worry about that..." Shen Mie took a deep breath, and then to Lu Ran’s surprise, his body began to rapidly change, from a white-haired, frosty young man into a curvy white-haired woman.

"Holy shit, what’s going on with you?" Lu Ran was taken aback.

Damn, you can change gender too?

"I am an Artificial Human, I have no gender, only two forms. The male form possesses the combat power of a Legendary-level Mechanist."

"The female form is more geared towards management, possessing the highest level of authority over the Republic’s technological domains, allowing me to temporarily shield the Republic’s surveillance of the starry sky."

"Cool," Lu Ran was slightly startled and then conceded, "Well, do you have the information on those three extraterrestrials? Give it to me."

The girl, Shen Mie, nodded.

A screen appeared in front of Lu Ran, displaying the wreckage of a battleship.

It was a behemoth class battleship, severely damaged but still indicative of its past magnificence.

On the colossal cosmic battleship, there was a logo.

It depicted a black bull’s head with a pair of devilish horns, exuding an overwhelming oppressive aura.

Outside the battleship were three aliens in white-blue standard combat suits.

Two men and one woman.

They looked like the Human Tribe but with some differences.

One of the old men had skin that was completely red, constantly emitting steam.

The other middle-aged man had blue scales covering his face; it was unknown whether the same scales were covered by his clothes.

As for the last woman, her face eerily possessed seven eyes.

"Their battleship had already been a wreck when it flew into the space outside the Star-Moon World from the starry sky, as if it had encountered some cosmic disaster."

"The Republic initially judged that they came from a mixed civilization and belonged to the army of a more advanced civilization in the universe."

"In fact, at the beginning, they claimed to have encountered an unknown disaster, and by the time they realized it, they had already appeared in an unfamiliar starry sky, as if teleported by some special power."

"They requested to enter the Republic to recuperate, but the Republic activated its legendary prediction machine, which claimed that these three would bring catastrophic disaster to the Republic, so their entry was denied."

"Afterward... these three tried to force their way in but, so far, have been stopped outside by the protective barrier of the Star-Moon World."

"Their strength is immense, each nearing the Main God Level, and the powers they cultivated are all different."

"For example, that old man, with inexhaustible strength, could crack the Star-Moon World’s protective barrier with his sheer physical power alone, his skills resembling the ’martial power’ from movies."

"The man with scales seemed like a hybrid of the Human Tribe with Dragon Clan traits, able to breathe dragon’s breath and other abilities, and could freely change between his human and dragon forms."

"As for the woman, she made a move once, and her ability seemed similar to ’magic,’ releasing energy rays that turned a reconnaissance vessel sent out by the Republic into a piece of cake and ate it, completely defying analysis of the power form."

"Honestly, I’m only sure I can deal with one, but if it’s all three at the same time, I’m powerless."

"Moreover, we don’t know if they have any other trump cards or reinforcements, which is why the Republic is urgently developing a Mechanical Main God."

"The protective barrier that functions by absorbing spatial energy to defend against external foes... won’t last many more years."

"Can you handle these three?"

Shen Mie looked at Lu Ran.

"Piece of cake." Lu Ran glanced at Shen Mie indifferently, yet his mind was filled with doubts.

Where did these three come from?

Escapees from other civilizations that fled through the black fog? But the power system of these three was inconsistent and strange.

Or was it that in a universe that had been destroyed, there existed a super army that could command the strong of multiple civilizations?

Lu Ran was unsure of their strength, but having boasted, he could not refuse to face the enemy.

As long as their strength had not reached the Main God Level, Lu Ran felt pretty confident about his chances of victory.

They were just three upper Legendary Peak-States.

On his side, when he was at Level 8 epic-level, Mr. Husky, Dark Crow, and Yun Bao could already exert upper Legendary Peak strength.

Now that he had broken through to the Legendary Level, with his enhancement, Lu Ran felt that 4v3 wasn’t a big problem.

Moreover, it might not necessarily be 4v3; if he could evolve King of Sudden Death before dealing with them, reaching the strength of an upper Legendary, that would be even more secure.

Lu Ran... had already selected his target resource.

Before entering the Republic Era, he had done some preliminary homework.

In the outer starry sky of the Republic, there were special stars named "Thunderclap Star" and "Nether Thunder Star," both covered with special thunder and lightning.

Among them, the thunder covering Thunderclap Star had a strong repelling effect on the soul. Just one glance could shock the heart deeply; if a lifeform’s physical body tried to approach the star, the soul would want to escape from the body spontaneously. Many mechanists from the Republic who explored the Thunderclap Star ended up with souls frightened out of their bodies, unable to return.

Nether Thunder Star, on the other hand, represented the other extreme. The energy of the star was like a river of black thunder, filled with vortexes of thunder, with an extremely strong attraction to the soul. Any lifeform approaching this star would have its soul drawn into the star and erased.

Experts speculated that these two stars might have originated from one body, formed by the split of an electromagnetic star, and to this day, the Republic still had no effective way to exploit these two special stars, indicating that their power level was above upper Legendary.

According to what Lu Ran knew, the ultimate fate of these two stars was destruction during the great war of the Mechanical Era.

The rebellion of the Mechanical Main God was not just a disaster for Star-Moon; the Mechanical Era was also an era of space wars, and many stars outside the Star-Moon World were destroyed, including these two stars. Although their end was unknown, they no longer existed during the Federation Era.

Lu Ran chose them because not only were their properties mutually repellent, but they also both belonged to the Thunder and Lightning system. Integrating one into King of Sudden Death’s Dragon Clan power and the other into the King’s Galaxy power, and then evolving through the Sun-Moon Convergence Attribute, should enable King of Sudden Death to advance further.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside the Star-Moon protection barrier.

The three aliens viewed as major enemies by the Republic were growing increasingly impatient.

"What place have we come to? This place doesn’t feel like the universe we were in. We couldn’t have reached another parallel universe through that special relic, could we?" concluded a Seven-Eyed Cosmic Clan member after continuous analysis.

"Is there any way for us to return? At first, we thought of conquering and selling this seemingly decent planet, but until now, we have been unable to contact headquarters."

"It’s bad enough that headquarters can’t be contacted, but the Universal Dream Net created by the Lord of Dreams, which connects the entire universe, can’t be connected either. The Lord of Dreams is a Cosmic-Level lifeform... not far behind in strength compared to our Universe Overlord, Lord Cyrus, of the army."

The old man and the middle-aged man were also very silent.

"Regardless, we must conquer this planet. We need the internal resources to repair. Something’s not right with this universe. Apart from this starry sky being a sanctuary, the outside has been engulfed by an unknown terrifying force. I suspect that even the super divine beings in the army are helpless against that black fog, this damned ghost place."
