Chapter 638: Chapter 334: The Rampage of Fusi

Outside the Meteor Flame Star System, an advanced spaceship was hidden in the invisible.

In the cockpit, Reina paced back and forth, his formidable figure like a wall, dark skin like iron, observing the planet on the screen.

It was a desolate silence, and a large area covered by a field of force, unclear to detection, only blurred.

"Tch..." His brows were tightly knit as if confronted with a difficult problem.

The loss incurred in the Red River Star Stream remained in his memory.

He was well aware that Gabriel was not killed by him, and the only possibility was Azure Dragon.

Duke Bloodthorn’s relentless harassment led to heavy losses for Duke Guya, for which he also received criticism; therefore, he volunteered to come and pursue.

But having been here for over half a month, he dared not make a move.

"If I had another chance, the moment Azure Dragon shows up, I would capture him on the spot." Each time he thought about Azure Dragon’s unguarded appearance before their eyes, Reina felt a surge of regret.

It was an excellent opportunity to strike, but due to insufficient information, they did not take the opponent seriously, watching helplessly as the other slipped into that Mecha.

But he believed, as long as he saw Azure Dragon without his Mecha, even if the opponent was an A-level life form, that moment would be enough to capture him.

However, it was precisely because he couldn’t find any trace of Azure Dragon that he hesitated to act, tempted to capture Li Ming to threaten him, but also fearing an ambush.

The intelligence from the analysis room was too bizarre, all about fishing and hiding something.

"If only someone would make a move against Li Ming," Reina felt helpless; after all, who would want to be someone else’s pawn?

He could only wait here for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.

"It’s a pity that Thomas was dispatched by Prince Costate to the Dimension World." He sighed, not knowing what they were searching for, rumored to be of great importance to the entire Royal Family.

Even when his son was bullied so much, he remained silent.

What he didn’t know was...

On the other side, Albert harbored the same idea, waiting for some fool to fall into their trap and scout the path.

...

At the ground base, in Room 12, Fusi was frowning and her expression was unpleasant.

In the past two months, the times she had seen Li Ming were few and far between.

Moreover, every time they met, they hardly spoke a few words before he brushed her off, which made her think she had been exposed.

However, she was still allowed to move freely within the base, which left her completely clueless about what was really going on.

What was even more eerie was the growing sense of otherness in her body over time, becoming more profound moment by moment, and disturbing her mood, making her irritable and uneasy.

"What on earth is going on... It’s like approaching some kind of threshold." Her expression was gloomy, uncertain about the origin of this feeling.

It might come from Li Ming, but he hadn’t done anything to her.

It could also be an anomaly in her own body—most of her power was locked within her cells, perhaps causing some aberrations this time.

The doubts and insecurities in her heart added to her inner restlessness, and she faintly sensed that something was bound to happen today.

"He must not have noticed my concealment; otherwise, there’s no point keeping me close." She forced herself to stay calm; her body was her own, and as an S-level life form, what kind of incident could happen?

Another two or three hours passed, and the feeling of nearing some critical point in her body became clearer.

At one moment, Fusi’s brows furrowed, and grey lines suddenly appeared on the surface of her body.

Then, immense pain like flaying and deboning assaulted her like a tsunami, and Fusi’s complexion abruptly changed, her skin taut with a dense network of bulging veins, writhing wildly like serpents, her eyes blood red.

Her eyeballs’ capillaries all burst, and web-like grey lines spread across her face, swiftly engulfing her entire body.

Despite the intense pain from all over her nerves, an overwhelming wave of horror surged in her heart.

I... I... have I devolved!?

She found it unbelievable; by her life level, she was quite sensitive to changes in her own body, clearly perceiving that her power was fading.

The various abilities acquired from the development of the Genetic Seed were also dissipating.

But not much, at most 3% to 5% if translated into data.

Yet, this was shocking enough for Fusi; developing these would take her, at her life level, three to five hundred years to achieve.

Most crucially, she had never heard of Genetic Seeds devolving!?

This unprecedented situation threw her into confusion, and the sudden mutant causing the power hidden deep within her cells to burst forth violently.

Her body’s injuries were healing quickly, but the feeling of replenished power didn’t bring Fusi any sense of security, rather an uncontrollable fear.

"Azure Dragon!" Between gritted teeth, she managed to squeeze out two words before turning them into surging sound waves, reducing the metallic walls to ruin upon contact.

...

"Two more days before it’s ready..." Robbin lay in bed, responding to the update from Night Moon Laboratory with growing excitement, repeatedly estimating the time.

"Finally becoming an A-level life form, I’ll be considered a big shot. At thirty-five years old as an A-level life form, there aren’t many others out there in the universe; the news will certainly shock many..." Robbin stroked his hair, feeling pleased, "He can’t be counted, I’m different from him. Although Li Ming has high development potential, I fought my way out through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."

"Day in and day out, all he can do is tediously develop Genetic Seeds, where’s the thrill in that compared to mixing it up in interstellar space, the bewitching cat women, the betrayal of close friends, my track record... It could fill hundreds of pages..."
