    Chapter 96: The Zerg 29 “Arnold, I’m about to undergo a second awakening”…

    “So sure you’ll become an S-rank?”

    “Yes.” Amoriss’s voice was very soft, like it was floating from afar, giving a sense of unreality.

    At this time, Amoriss had slowly closed his eyes, and the potion began to take effect, which didn’t feel good.

    Fortunately, his hard work had not been in vain. A magnificent Zerg pattern gradually climbed onto his body. Thighs, lower back, spine, and finally the back of his neck, the golden Pattern emitting a faint light, carving a beautiful picture on his body.

    This was the Zerg pattern that only male Zerg had.

    But in the next moment, the magnificent pattern disappeared without a trace. Beads of sweat slid down Amoriss’s forehead, his face instantly turned pale, and Amoriss couldn’t control himself as he fell to the ground.

    Fortunately, Phil caught him.

    “How are you? Can you still hold on?”

    After a moment, a still somewhat weak voice came from his arms:

    “I’m fine, I won’t die.” Amoriss’s lips had turned bloodless. He broke free from Phil’s embrace, and could barely stand straight by holding onto a nearby cabinet. “You can go now.”

    “If you don’t want to die here.”

    Feeling the weight disappear from his arms, Phil suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. He looked at Amoriss’s figure, still stubbornly holding on alone, wanting to approach, but finally dispelled the thought.

    His excellent observation skills had helped him a lot, and now it was no exception. He was the one who understood the matter between Amoriss and Arnold the most clearly, which was why he was so unwilling.

    His luck had always been good, but it wasn’t very useful in this regard.

    Phil showed that unreliable expression again: “Used and then thrown away? How excessive~ I’ll be sad too.”

    Amoriss didn’t answer, perhaps the immense pain meant he had no time to pay attention to the outside world.

    Phil turned to leave.

    At the moment he turned around, he restrained all his expressions, and his steps became particularly heavy. At the door, Phil only left one sentence:

    “Good luck.”

    The door was quietly closed.

    The room became quiet again, and Amoriss could feel that he was the only one left in the empty room.

    This was fine.

    He wiped the sweat from his forehead. The pain wasn’t as strong as before, but his body was faintly hot, like he had a fever.

    Could it be… that a fever was the side effect?

    If that was the case, then he was indeed lucky.

    Thinking of the next plan, Amoriss was surprised that he still had the leisure to joke along with Phil’s words.

    Unfortunately, he never intended to go back alive.

    According to the information from one of the Terra Research Institute’s bases, the institute was trying to create its own army, a monster army that combined Zerg, machines, and alien beasts.

    At the same time, the data showed that Amoriss’s blood could act as a “binder.”

    Amoriss recalled the days when he was constantly having his blood drawn at the Noel Arena. The experiment probably started at that time.

    Unfortunately, later, with Amoriss’s escape, the experiment was forced to be interrupted.

    Later, the laboratory could only try various methods, and finally found that the male Zerg’s blood could act as a “binder,” but it wasn’t as effective as Amoriss’s.

    This was why the laboratory had been chasing Amoriss relentlessly. They believed that Amoriss must have other special qualities.

    And for the past five years, Amoriss had to avoid the people from the laboratory at all times. Even if he later destroyed the Noel Arena, even flies, such a constant stream of flies, were still annoying.

    He was really fed up with such days.

    So, he released the news—that he would bring an S-rank male Zerg as an auction item.

    In this way, Amoriss believed that the owner behind the laboratory would definitely come.

    He had prepared a big gift, since they were so fond of him, then they could go to hell with him.

    As for the rest of the people—

    What good people could come to Ainos Star? Amoriss had no psychological pressure at all.

    As a side matter, he would just be doing a good deed before his death.

    Time passed by, minute by minute, and finally, it came to the last auction item.

    Amoriss was invited onto the stage. This was what he had agreed with the auction house from the beginning—he would reveal the true face of the auction item in front of everyone.

    The auction house wasn’t afraid that Amoriss would play tricks, because they also had their own power. Anyone who dared to play tricks on them would bear their wrath and have nowhere to escape.

    Under the curious or urging gazes from below the stage, Amoriss slowly unbuttoned his top.

    His fair collarbones were exposed to everyone, and then, a burst of golden light shone brightly.

    A magnificent Zerg pattern appeared on Amoriss’s body like a totem.

    “I am that S-rank male Zerg.”

    As his voice fell, there was a burst of gasps from below.

    Arnold and Carlos, sitting under the stage, were both stunned, even their breathing was stagnant.

    Amoriss was actually a male Zerg? And an S-rank male Zerg?

    No one doubted Amoriss’s words, because the male Zerg’s rank was related to their Zerg pattern. The more complex the Zerg pattern, the higher the male Zerg’s rank.

    And Amoriss’s Zerg pattern, which almost covered his entire body…

    They couldn’t wait to start bidding.

    Amoriss took in everything that happened under the stage.

    “Before that, let me give everyone one more—”

    “A big gift.”

    His finger stroked the bright red earring beside his ear.

    In the next moment, a pitch-black mech replaced Amoriss’s original position.

    Wherever the mech went, buildings collapsed.

    The ground caved in, Amoriss didn’t care. Without even looking, he casually fired a shot into the sky, and the huge crystal chandelier crashed down, hitting the crowd.

    In an instant, they fell from heaven to hell. The smell of blood gradually spread, and there were violent screams from the crowd.

    Arnold also wanted to use his mech, but he was afraid of accelerating the collapse of the building and hurting others, so he was hesitant.

    However, after a few seconds, Arnold no longer needed to hesitate.

    Because Amoriss had already overturned the auction venue, and the original luxurious decoration had completely turned into a pile of ruins.

    In the mech cockpit, Amoriss took out a device.

    There was nothing on it, only a red button.

    From the mech’s display screen, he had already seen several people who were running fast, piloting small speedboats to escape.

    “It’s useless.” Amoriss murmured, like the whispers of a demon.

    Because he had installed explosives throughout the entire Ainos Star airport.

    No one could escape.

    As long as he pressed the button in his hand—

    Suddenly, a white mech appeared in front of Amoriss.

    He shook his head, feeling that his fever seemed to be getting worse.

    But it would be over soon.

    After regaining his senses, Amoriss raised his head again.

    The white mech was still standing in front of him, unmoving.

    There was a moment of emotion in his eyes, a hint of reluctance flashed across his eyes.

    “Arnold, move aside.”

    After five years, the first conversation between the two was like this.

    Arnold showed his attitude with his actions.

    Silence spread between the two, and in the next moment, they took out their weapons and fought each other.

    The sword light sparked violently. The two were extremely fast, and only one black and one white shadow could be seen fighting in the air.

    The Second Legion, noticing the movements on Ainos Star, quickly came to support them.

    Amoriss felt that his condition was getting worse and worse, his head was almost unable to think, and he was dizzy.

    He suppressed wave after wave of dizziness, and then actually bit the tip of his tongue.

    The tip of his tongue hurt, and the accompanying trace of blood came along, and Amoriss felt that his mind had regained a moment of clarity.

    But this was not a long-term solution after all.

    He couldn’t delay.

    He controlled the mech to distance himself from Arnold, and took out the device again.

    He knew that as long as he pressed it lightly, everything here would be destroyed.

    And he would have no chance of survival.

    The disadvantage of installing so many explosives in a short period of time was that the remote control for the explosives could not be too far away from Ainos Star.

    And this range was just the explosion range of the explosives.

    Amoriss looked at the snow-white figure in the distance, and a touch of reluctance flashed in his heart after all.

    He knew that the other party had become Custer’s concubine. Although he didn’t know why it was different from becoming Custer’s male queen in the original plot, the plot was still continuing.

    He had nothing to say. He was the one who chose to leave Arnold first, and he didn’t expect the current result.

    But why, even though he had made the decision long ago, did he start to feel sad now?

    The two faced each other from a distance, clearly separated. Two extreme colors, black and white, drew a clear line between them.

    Now, it was time for him, the sinner, to end.

    “Arnold…”

    Amoriss softly called out this name, and the scenes of the past seemed to be still like yesterday.

    He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was clear that he had made a decision.

    If so, then let him send him off one last time.

    Arnold controlled the mech. He didn’t know what Amoriss wanted to do.

    But he knew that this matter would not end so simply.

    The other party must have left a backhand.

    Suddenly, he heard something.

    “Beep—”

    Arnold’s pupils shrank, and regardless of anything else, he urgently shouted to retreat in the Second Legion’s communication channel.

    He didn’t expect Amoriss to be so crazy. Was he going to blow up the entire Ainos Star airport?

    But when he did this, didn’t he ever think that he himself wouldn’t be able to escape?

    But there was no time left for him to think.

    Amoriss’s attack was already close at hand.

    The two figures fought each other again.

    Arnold not only had to resist the attacks from Amoriss, but also had to divide his attention to look at the legion’s retreat, gradually becoming somewhat overwhelmed.

    He blocked the next attack, but saw Amoriss suddenly distance himself, the lightsaber disappeared, replaced by a dark hole, still accumulating energy.

    The direction was obviously the warship behind him!

    Arnold frowned. This was no ordinary particle cannon. His own mech also had one, and he naturally knew its power.

    If Amoriss really hit it, the warship had an energy shield, so there wouldn’t be a big problem.

    But what about those soldiers who didn’t have time to return to the warship and were still fighting in mechs?

    They couldn’t resist it.

    Without much thought, Arnold immediately began to accumulate energy as well.

    Now all he could do was to offset Amoriss’s attack.

    In the next moment, two thick rays of light, with earth-shattering momentum, were emitted together, colliding with each other and emitting a dazzling white light. Two different energies gathered, compressed, and then burst out, and the air current carried Arnold, who was driving a mech, hundreds of meters away.

    In an instant, all that remained in Arnold’s eyes was a world of white, so intense that he could barely open his eyes.

    Then, there was intense heat, as if it wanted to melt everything in the world.

    The white was replaced by flames, and Arnold endured the oncoming heat, barely looking forward.

    Suddenly, his eyes widened.

    He saw a slender figure standing in the sea of fire that was almost burning the world.

    He stood in the sea of fire, deactivated the mech, and like a sacrifice, resolutely walked into the depths of the sea of fire.

    In an instant, time seemed to be infinitely slowed down.

    Arnold saw that the dazzling golden hair of the past was dyed the color of flames, and he could also see the flames gradually devouring that familiar figure bit by bit.

    At this moment, the other party seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, raising a smile.

    In the depths of the blue that was like the sea, the color of clusters of flames ignited.

    “Goodbye.”

    He saw Amoriss open his mouth.

    The sound could no longer be heard, and he could only vaguely identify the shape of his lips.

    Arnold’s eyes were about to burst, and the red in his eyes was even deeper, as if he was really bleeding.

    When he came back to his senses, he had already driven the mech dozens of meters in the direction of Amoriss.

    Faster, faster.

    The speed had already reached its fastest, but Arnold still felt it was not enough.

    His brain had stopped working, and his whole body was acting solely on his own subconscious.

    The flames devoured him.

    The high temperature gradually began to melt the mech, revealing its internal structure.

    In the depths of the sea of fire, Amoriss stood alone.

    He only saw the flames, as if they had touched some invisible barrier, and stopped moving one meter away from him.

    It was as if a wild beast that was difficult to tame had become harmless by the side of its king.

    [System, start teleporting.]

    [Received command——]

    [Starting teleportation——]

    [Ten, nine, eight…]

    [Three, two…]

    [One——System error——]

    [Command invalid——]

    [Teleportation canceling——]

    What’s going on? Amoriss wondered.

    He turned around and saw only a very fast shadow.

    In the next moment, the redness disappeared from his eyes, replaced by endless black, as if a solid fortress was protecting him preciously, isolating him from all external dangers.

    Before completely losing his light, Amoriss saw a pair of huge silver-white wings.

    He already had a judgment in his mind.

    He gently cupped the other party’s cheeks, relying on his feelings, and finally saw a pair of red eyes as he wished.

    At the same time, Amoriss felt his increasingly hot body and increasingly distracted brain, and seemed to suddenly understand something.

    In the original plot, the original owner died in the second awakening.

    Then what about him?

    Amoriss fondly stroked Arnold’s cheeks, getting closer and closer to the other party, and whispered in his ear:

    “Arnold, I’m about to undergo a second awakening.”

    He saw the fleeting astonishment and confusion in those red eyes.

    Amoriss was stunned for a moment, and finally bent his eyes and chuckled.
