Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 1383: Without destruction there can be no construction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After switching off his Skylink, a heartfelt smile appeared from the corner of Lear’s mouth. Life was so wonderful. When he thought that he was totally destroyed, he discovered a trace of opportunity. He was like a man on the brink of death in the desert, holding on tightly to the last chance of survival, and received a new lease of life.

On his left was Luo Fei. Fatty Luo had hardly shown any changes. Among the people undergoing evolution, this was absolutely amazing too. One had to wonder if his genes were too stubborn. Even Professor Sharjah was lost for words. Evolution did not merely occur in terms of power, but also in appearances as well. Just like the animals – the stronger animals were generally more superior physically, but this fatty...

But Sharjah understood the importance of this fatty to Lear very well. No one should try to cross the line.

On Lear’s right was Sharjah, who seemed to have been rejuvenated. These were the days that he had always dreamed of. Lear relied heavily on him. Unlike Constantine, Lear was a person who did not have a baseline and would resort to unscrupulous means in order to achieve his goal. Constantine would not. Deep down, he had a lot of shortcomings, and held on to the stubborn Aslan spirit. A person like Sharjah had no need for this.

Sharjah also wanted to use this evolution experiment on himself, but this was not possible. He could not endure it. He only wished that, in his lifetime, he could see his masterpiece change mankind, to let the world remember a scientist named Sharjah, that he was the greatest scientist of this era!

Behind the three were the henchmen that Lear had successfully created during this period of time. The leader of this pack was Demon. This strange, evil woman was even more bewitching now. The remaining three were also discovered from the Holy City. There was no lack of people who were ambitious and courageous, especially since there had been two successful cases like Lear and Luo Fei. Faced with death or new life, they would definitely choose the latter. A gamble could upgrade them from nothing to something. Obviously, they had succeeded. At the most crucial moment, Lear had helped them cross the threshold of death. But, at the same time, these people could never defy Lear’s will. This was defined by the highest gene. Lear had the highest deterrence control of the new mankind, just like the dominant male in a pride of lions.

Mo Ling, Ballara, Er Donglei, Feng Yingying.

Lear was undoubtedly the Son of Saint now. Those who had opposed him were all dead – killed by these four Holy Disciples. After Demon and the rest survived and lived very well, many people were willing to take part in the experiment to become the new mankind. Of course, this was a good situation. Lear needed more henchmen. In fact, it was discovered that those who did not fulfill Sharjah’s requirements could not make it to the end. Lear had no intention of killing everyone. On the contrary, Lear never felt that he was a monster. He was the new mankind, a higher being. It was only right for the old mankind to submit to him, and he needed more henchmen for that.

These people were rather good warriors. Although they could not become the best soldiers, they were still pretty useful in carrying out assassinations and other special missions.

Helping Lear manage the categorization was Jay York. He had not taken part in the experiment. Although he craved strength, his life was more precious. The reason why Lear kept Jay York and gave him important responsibilities was precisely because of his shamelessness. He had seen those who had no baseline, but he had never seen someone as extreme as Jay York. Besides, this person was indeed quite capable and intelligent. He would definitely prove himself useful in the future. Luo Fei, Demon, and rest all had their character flaws. For example, if Luo Fei was tasked to assassinate someone he knew, he would probably not be able to do it. Even if he was forced to do it, it would not be the effect that Lear wanted. However, Jay York would do this happily to prove his existence.

“Big Boss, why don’t we go to Aslan now? Aslan needs us now,” said Luo Fei. Everyone was having fun, but he was not interested in the Oracle Star.

“Keke, Brother Luo, Aslan is far from desperate yet. We’ll gain the most when we provide help when they need it most. Our lord probably has his plan all figured out already,” said a grinning Jay York.

“There are many opportunities during troubled times. There’s no need to mix around with Aslan,” said Demon calmly.

Jay York smiled. The others were stronger than him, but in terms of intelligence, he was on top. No one else could see the big picture.

It was true, these were troubled times. What did you want to do? Attack a small, destitute planet and rule like a king behind closed doors? How naive. Besides, Constantine was not someone to be trifled with. With his current strength, Lear would not carelessly ruffle the feathers of a Heaven-rank master.

Lear flicked his hand. A smile appeared from the corner of his mouth. “Aslan is not at her desperate end yet. I understand Aina’s character. Now is not the time. Jay York, the intelligence has to be up to date. Luo Fei, continue to practice. Don’t relax. I need you all to display the power of deterrence at the most crucial time!”

Lear had a very good picture of the international situation. Two such great empires like Aslan and Arbiter would not be in dire straits over a single outcome. The core issue was Aina. If it was just Constantine’s orders, Aina would probably not accept them. The queen’s inner strength was probably at the level of her grandfather’s. Pride and arrogance were at the highest level. However, this woman had a weakness. In the past, Aina had her baseline threshold. But now, her country was her major concern. Her personal likes were no longer important. This was where the opportunities would lie. But first, she needed to fend off the first wave of attacks from Arbiter.

Ren Yixuan’s game was rather interesting. It was very similar to his control system. The problem now was that he did not have enough manpower. Otherwise, his “game” would definitely be stronger than that of Constantine’s.

Sharjah was thinking of a solution for this problem as well. Lear was not asking for longevity for his henchmen. Even if their life expectancies were greatly reduced, it was enough for him.

There were about one thousand people remaining inside the Holy City. There was no argument about the dominion here now. Not only was Lear controlling the people, he was also breeding Zerg. Although not as strong as Abyssal Zerg, these enhanced Zergs’ fighting power was pretty good. These were all his spies, spread throughout the Holy City.

These people were all his resources. There were so many highly skilled masters. It would be a real waste if he did not make good use of them. Lear was very lenient with the people at the bottom and helped them upgrade their powers. As long as they accepted this reality: the only king here was King Lear!

Lear did not forget about Wang Zheng and the others. Wang Zheng’s Tita Star, his Oracle Star – it seemed like they have gone full circle to the same starting point again. Except he had overcome his difficult times. It was Wang Zheng’s turn now. Could Wang Zheng stop the huge army from Sirius? With the uncivilized Tita Star and a bunch of primitive giants, could they hold up against a strong empire? Lear was really looking forward to this.

This was the difference in birth rights. Lear would definitely not make the choice that Wang Zheng had made. If he were Wang Zheng, he would definitely be with Aina, inheriting Aslan. Even though there were many factions internally within Aslan, with time, this could be resolved. Unfortunately, Wang Zheng did not have this awareness. However, it was precisely because of this that he would have an opportunity.

As for Achilles and the rest, once the three musketeers of the Solar System, they were all on different paths now. Although it seemed like Achilles and Lie Xin were guarding the Solar Systems, they were confined by the Solar System. Without destruction, there could be no construction.
