Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.
However, when the warship detected a star beast, Ruan Mingchu realized that he had underestimated the severity of the Miracle Organization. He thought that since the Miracle Organization had declared itself an empire and established a nation, it would surely show the demeanor expected of a country, but he did not expect that they would allow a star beast to pass through without any obstruction.
It is important to know that wherever the star beasts pass, nothing grows, not a trace of energy remains, and even the land loses its ability to nurture life.
Perhaps those schemes to shift the blame were just a smokescreen, designed to catch Ruan Mingchu off guard by the Star Beasts.
Fortunately, there are no innocent people in the seventy-seven star systems, and the passage of star beasts will not harm the civilians of the empire.
In an instant, Ruan Mingchu pondered many things.
"Give the order to keep the star beasts locked up within the seventy-seven star systems."
At the same time, Ruan Mingchu also contacted the marshals of two neighboring star systems, the seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth star systems.
This is both a threat and an opportunity. The Star Beasts have been kept at bay by warriors at the border for years, and both nobles and commoners within their ranks have enjoyed too much peace, losing their reverence for war and respect for warriors. Even the nobles have become complacent and decadent, indulging in their comfort zones.
Moreover, the armies within the galaxy rarely have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, so this is a good chance for them to hone their skills.
Marshals 75 and 78 naturally obeyed the orders of the Crown Prince, who had already assumed power. Even if Marshal 75 disagreed with some of the more conservative proposals, it could not be denied that they were beneficial to the future of the country.
At the same time, the news that the Miracle Organization had shown no responsibility and had allowed the Star Beast horde to enter the country was widely reported by major radio stations and various media outlets, serving as a wake-up call for everyone.
The empire's territory was vast, and communication between the various star systems was difficult. If it weren't for Ruan Mingchu's instructions, many people wouldn't even know that the seventy-seven star systems had been split off, let alone the matter of the Star Beast Tide.
What good would knowing do? Aside from being scared for a few minutes at first, I just went about my business with the mindset of "if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
Nevertheless, the news still left a shadow in their memories, and regardless of the degree, it achieved Ruan Mingchu's goal.
Ruan Minh Thu sat in the command room, expressionless as he watched the battle unfold outside the warship. Even the most capable person can suffer a Waterloo, and how could the battlefield be devoid of bloodshed?
So far, we have not seen any casualties, but quite a few have been seriously injured and returned to their warships.
Outside the command room, in the medical room, the medics calmly and methodically carried out treatments.
Everyone in this star field, on this battlefield, has their own tasks, guarding the peace behind them.
Ruan Mingchu's terminal had been beeping for about twenty minutes, with someone calling him every second. He neither answered nor muted it, just letting the annoying sound keep going.
Without even looking at the caller ID, Ruan Mingchu knew who was contacting him. They simply felt that he had spread the truth, which was detrimental to social stability and the well-being of the people, and they wanted to lecture him, taking advantage of their seniority.
Admittedly, once the news is released, many people will seize the opportunity to cause trouble, stir up trouble, and even create chaos. However, as long as the empire functions normally and all institutions are functioning properly, how could it provide an opportunity for those with ill intentions?
They are merely using stability and security to mask the decay beneath the surface.
A hint of mockery flashed in Ruan Mingchu's eyes, and then he removed the terminal from his wrist and tossed it aside.
What he wanted was not the peace beside the time bomb; the very foundation of this empire was rusted, and the process of scraping away the bone to heal the wound would inevitably involve intense pain.
Under normal circumstances, once a conflict breaks out between a star beast and an army, it is usually a fight to the death. The longer the fight goes on, the more serious the injuries they suffer. They even lose their biological survival instincts and completely fall into madness.
At this moment, the star beast horde not only had formations and tactics (although they were still very immature), but some star beasts had also learned to retreat.
Ruan Mingchu keenly noticed that a star beast that had already gone mad seemed to have received some kind of command. Even though it still wanted to fight, its body retreated like a puppet.
He turned to look at Mu Yu, who nodded and strode towards the preparation room. Mu Yu was going to capture this star beast for Ruan Mingchu.
On the battlefield, the warriors near this star beast suddenly felt their mental seas being linked to Ruan Mingchu's mental network, and they immediately became excited upon realizing this.
You must know that in recent years, those who have been personally commanded by His Highness are all high-ranking generals. What merit do they have to be able to receive His Highness's orders?
"Now follow my command and stop this star beast."
Killing a Star Beast is a simple task for the warriors working together. However, capturing a Star Beast in its final stage of an A+ level is beyond their B+ level capabilities.
Soon, a fiery red mech illuminated the silent universe, wielding a flaming longsword and moving as fast as a phantom.
The next instant, the A+ Star Beast's limbs suddenly snapped off, letting out a miserable cry.
The pain stimulated the brain more than the king's command; instead of retreating, it turned and fought with Mu Yu.
The only weapons left for the star beast, which had lost its hands and feet, were the sharp horns on its head and the fangs in its mouth.
It opened its blood-red maw and bit at the mecha. Even though Mu Yu knew the mecha's shell was tough enough, he didn't want his precious creature to get its stinky saliva on it.
The long sword was sheathed, and Mu Yu manipulated the mecha to switch to a short blade, slicing through all the pressure of the star beast at an extremely fast speed, and then kicked off the star beast's horn with a big kick.
What other attack methods does it have?
Mu Yu calmly looked at the star beast that had fallen into a dead end, feeling extremely disgusted by this thing that had no emotions or reason.
The star beast let out a shriek and actually turned to run away.
The soldiers who had been watching from the sidelines suddenly remembered their mission to stop the star beast and hurriedly got to work. Mu Yu was even faster than them, piercing the star beast's shoulder with a single strike and impaling it on his blade.
The star beast was no longer able to resist.
Mu Yu returned to the warship with his spoils, looking quite dashing. When he arrived, he found a group of medics guarding the ship, who immediately surrounded him upon seeing him.
"I'm not injured..." Mu Yu was pushed away before he could finish speaking. He could only stand aside and watch helplessly as they injected the star beast, which was strung on a knife, with various injections such as anesthetics, sedatives, and hemostatic agents. After the injections, they took it off, loaded it onto a large flatbed cart, and took it away.
As for Mu Yu himself, no one paid him any attention.
"Damn it," Mu Yu cursed under his breath. "Why does it feel like he's less important than a star beast?"
Mu Yu returned to the command room with a sour face, but Ruan Mingchu was nowhere to be seen. Only Lieutenant Zhao was diligently writing the battle log.
"Where are the others?" Mu Yu asked.
Zhao Yongyang glanced up at Mu Yu, then lowered his head and continued fighting. "Mo Han called him away earlier, he should be in the observation room now."
Mu Yu thanked him and turned to walk towards the observation room.
The observation room, officially named the Alien Species Observation Room, was originally established to capture Star Beasts and study their weaknesses. However, since no new species of Star Beasts have emerged in recent years, the observation room has been vacant for many years.
The observation room was right next to the medical room. As Mu Yu approached, he saw many medics in white uniforms walking around. They were in a hurry, and this was their busiest time.
The door wasn't locked, so Mu Yu pushed it open and went straight in.
Inside were Nguyen Minh Thu and a senior colonel I had never seen before.
After being treated, the star beast has become lively and energetic again, and even its severed limbs have grown back. At this moment, it is bound by invisible spiritual power and can only glare and roar a couple of times.
Ruan Mingchu saw Mu Yu wave to him and said, "Tell me about your experience fighting it."
Mu Yu glanced at the colonel next to him and received a smile from him before slowly saying, "Everything was normal until the end, but it actually tried to run away."
Retreat and escape are simply unbelievable for star beasts.
Ruan Mingchu looked at Gao Ling: "Take your people and observe it for another two days. If there are no results, then dissect it to see the brain structure. Don't worry about not having enough samples; we'll have more soon."
Gao Ling hummed in agreement, glanced at Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, and then withdrew.
Mu Yu, however, kept looking at Gao Ling's retreating figure, even after he had left, still gazing towards the door.
Ruan Mingchu ruffled Mu Yu's hair. "What are you looking at so intently? If you keep looking, I'll get jealous."
Mu Yu choked, glared at Ruan Mingchu, and thought, "Who should be jealous?"
"He's an Omega?"
At first glance, Gao Ling's petite figure and delicate features make him seem like an Omega, but he possesses a sharp and capable demeanor.
Ruan Mingchu nodded. "In my understanding, there is no difference between ABO genders. There are quite a few Omegas and Betas who suppress Alphas, because I have personally seen many such people."
No matter how high one stands, there are bound to be limitations. Although he was not to the point of "why not eat meat porridge?", he thought that all places in the world were like his army.
If he hadn't accidentally ended up in the Ninety-Nine Star System, he would never have known that Omega was just a tool for being a wife and mother in the eyes of Alpha, nor that Beta was destined to be mediocre.
Mu Yu said, "He's very capable."
Ruan Mingchu said, "Mu Xiaoyu, I want all Omega and Beta people in the world to have the opportunity to choose their own preferences and pursue their dreams, instead of being confined by rules and regulations because of their gender."
This path is destined to go against the interests of many in power, but throughout history, which bright future has not been achieved through the blood and sweat of many?
Ruan Mingchu didn't know what he was capable of; he only wanted to do what he could, until his death.
Mu Yu took Ruan Mingchu's hand and said, "Together."
However, the most urgent task is still to quell the rebellion of the Miracle Organization.
Ruan Mingchu stayed here for three days. After the situation stabilized and all the people from the 75th and 78th star systems arrived and participated in the "death drill", he took Mu Yu and an elite squad, bypassed the star beast tide, picked up the Spotted Tooth Beast named Banlan, and boarded a small warship to go into the interior of the 77th star system.
The Spotted Tooth Beast is the same Spotted Beast that Ruan Mingchu encountered during the league; it's an intelligent star beast produced by the research institute.
After dissecting the star beast, Gao Ling compared it with previous star beasts and discovered that they had an extra small protrusion in their brains, which would produce three specific reactions to mental power: stimulation to fight, retreat, and submission.
However, the specific reaction to mental power was simulated and deduced after the high-level spirits were modeled, since their mental power is different from that of the star beasts and has no effect on the star beasts.
That's why Banlan was summoned by Ruan Mingchu.
Banlan, who was addicted to snack games, was unwilling, but Ruan Mingchu threatened to send it back to the border if it didn't work, so Banlan had no choice but to come.
Having lived among humans for quite some time, the variegated creature is no longer the same colorful creature it once was; its skin has turned bronze, though its clothes are custom-made to match its original skin color.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s been playing with Liya and the other cyborg mermaids too much, but in addition to the colorful colors, she has added shiny scales. When I first saw it, it almost blinded Ruan Mingchu.
It's the kind of thing a normal person would never wear.
Ruan Mingchu coldly watched as Banlan brought over four large suitcases, filled with snacks, which she held tightly as if afraid he would snatch them.
What a joke, he eats snacks?
Then Mu Yu secretly went over and grabbed two bags of dried fish, and even stuffed one into his mouth.
I chewed it, and it smelled quite good.
gorgeous:!!!
"Give me back my snacks!"
Whether he was deliberately teasing Banlan or genuinely wanted snacks, Mu Yu would go to Banlan every day to get some snacks, then make Banlan chase after him and have a fight with him.
It's fortunate that the smart wheelchair is fast and durable enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to withstand Mu Yu's rough handling.
Not content with just taking advantage of others, he also brought along other elites to cause trouble.
Banlan went to Ruan Mingchu to complain: "This is wrong! You have to stop them!"
Ruan Mingchu shrugged: "I can't control it, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
Banlan clenched her fist. If she could, Mu Yu would have been beaten into a pulp by Banlan. At first, Banlan could still beat Mu Yu up, but Mu Yu had improved incredibly fast for some reason and was now evenly matched with Banlan.
Of course, everyone except Mu Yu was beaten by Banlan and had to go to the medical pod every day.
During the latter part of their space voyage, Banlan stayed indoors all day, guarding its snacks and becoming alert at the slightest disturbance, thus preventing Muyu from succeeding again.
Ruan Mingchu: ...
