Chapter 1361: A World Of Black And White

After the banquet, everyone knew better than to disturb Wang Zheng and Aina. The international situation was very tense. This was the time when danger and opportunities co-existed. Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu didn't want to miss out on this opportunity and therefore busied themselves with it.

Wang Zheng and Aina completely ignored the disputes of the outside world as they enjoyed this space of their own, breathing the air of freedom and love. Wang Zheng was in a great place since he was with Aina. He thought it might be short-lived, but he realized that he was immersed in it. Aina seemed to be constantly nourishing his state.

Aina had the same feeling ever since they joined their bodies. Her spiritual world had become clearer. She thought at first that it was because Tita was filled with nature and vitality. Of course, it was no longer the natural state when she felt the breath of nature.

She could feel the trees beckoning her, the wind praising her beauty, and the welcoming earth, overflowing with vitality and nourishing her body. Everything was so intimate. Tita really liked her.

This was an important manifestation towards the spirit according to the Atlanteans. In actual fact, the Atlanteans had proved that it was unrealistic, that the pure spirits couldn't exist. However, the spiritual realm was supreme and able to magnify power to an incredible state. Aina was the miracle of humans, this power had just been sealed away. She could have broken through if she was a warrior faced with constant life and death. The Atlanteans felt it would be difficult for her to achieve it in her normal life. Aina concurred. She herself wasn't very eager to explore that mysterious power, nor did she have much ambition. She felt that a person with too much power would ignore the weak. It wouldn't be something good to cultivate as someone who was going to rule over Aslan's future.

She had broken through unexpectedly, obviously because of "that". Aina reddened. Having a breakthrough because of that was simply too embarrassing, but this intimacy with nature felt really good.

"Dear Xiao Shi, I feel your ability is really special. You are the second one that I've seen with such an ability." Wang Zheng smiled. He already had keen insight now that he had crossed the threshold of Heaven-rank.

"Oh, who's the first? Tell me so that I can get to know her. Don't worry, I won't be jealous!" Aina said.

"That can't do. I'll be jealous. That guy's the typical tall, rich, and handsome type. He has been snatching my limelight ever since we met each other." Wang Zheng shook his head violently.

"I don't believe it. Don't tease me. You are the Greatest King, the leader of Saruman Snake, who dares to snatch your limelight?" Aina smiled.

"Xie Yuxin has greater innate ability than me. I just don't know what he's thinking most of the time," Wang Zheng said gently.

Aina laid in Wang Zheng's arms. "Don't be too worried. Your friends are outstanding and have their own lives to lead. They will make the right decisions."

"Haha, I've been seen through by you. My mistake. Xiao Shi, shall we play a game?"

"Sure, but that's quite difficult. I'm smarter than you, but you are stronger than me physically. How can we play so that it's fair?" Aina smiled playfully, with an I'm-not-afraid-of-you stance.

"I'm the student of Alan Tucker after all. Moreover, as an upright man, how can I take advantage of you!"

"Hmph, you've taken all the advantage of me, how dare you deny it!"

Wang Zheng felt the beast in him awaken as he stared at his love. He knew Aina was teasing him, but a real man couldn't give up. How could he be looked down upon by the woman he loved?

"We'll compete in swimming without using our abilities, in cooking, and in drawing. The one who wins two rounds wins!" Wang Zheng smiled. He just wanted to see Aina in her swimsuit Aina in water was even more alluring.

"Drawing? How are we going to compete?"

"Simple, you draw me and I draw you. Whoever draws better wins. Of course, we shouldn't be burdened in these beautiful surroundings, we should be as natural as possible!"

Aina finally knew what he was gunning for...

In the Oracle Star, someone who had really become a beast was kneeling on the ground with a peaceful and devout expression.

Sharjah nodded. "Great Elder, the success rate of copying is not high. I divided the experiment into two stages. The first stage needed young and vigorous bodies of no more than thirty with strength above the Earth-rank. They also had to have wood properties and an outstanding phagocytic ability. A balance must be struck between Ability X and the person's physical techniques - only then is it possible to pass the first stage. There's a critical point here, that is the subjects have to possess a strong desire to become a new species. The second stage involves the branding on life. This is in the field of bioengineering at least a hundred years away from our current technology. The rough estimate of the success rate is about 1 in 100,000."

Constantine started at Sharjah unblinkingly, judging whether he was telling the truth. The Thirteenth Elder nodded. This was tantamount to eliminating the chances of their transformation. The odds of 1 in 100,000, a ridiculous ratio. However, it was really difficult to find people who met all the criteria. Only these two weirdos were voluntary.

Constantine stared at the Abyssal Zergs and then turned towards Lear. "Give me a reason to allow you to live."

Sharjah's body trembled. The moment of life and death had arrived. Constantine only gave Lear such a chance because of what he had said. If not, he would have been dead. A newborn Lear was definitely no match for Constantine.

Lear smiled without any fear. "A king is great not because of his own strength, but because he knows how to use his pawns. I'm a monster, a monster that doesn't want to be known by others. The great Aslan Empire wants to conquer the Milky Way Alliance and the Abyss, and even what's beyond the Milky Way. I can be a vanguard and a shadow. I can do things that Aslan cannot do openly as long as you give me a chance. I know very well that a monster can never appear in the light."

Lear's words were contradictory but very clear. He might have become a monster, but he didn't want others to know about it. He still desired the life of a normal human, but the Milky Way Alliance would never allow a monster to exist. This was a dead knot, so Lear's fate was in the hands of Aslan. His ability to control the Zergs was indeed special, which could be of great use in the future. For example, sneaking the Zergs behind the enemies.

Constantine wasn't moved. "What do you want?"

As the Emperor, he obviously knew there was no love or hate without reason in this world.

Lear's eyes showed a hint of remorse and even anger. "I want the Solar System, I want those who looked down on me to regret!"

Lear's expression was savage and uncharacteristic of him. The murderous intent was exposed from his body, and his body became somewhat deformed. He seemed to have gotten a little out of control. Constantine gently pressed him and his murderous intent dissipated instantly.

Lear shuddered and squatted. "Your Majesty, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful to you..."

Constantine smiled. "I understand. Remember your words today. I've given you a new chance at life. Your life is the Aslan Empire's. Sharjah, you'll service Lear from henceforth. Awaken his complete power as soon as you can."

"Yes, Great Elder," Sharjah squealed in excitement. He could do it as long as he had resources.

"Thank you for giving me this chance. I'll bring Wang Zheng in front of you once I have the power to. To kill him is my greatest wish!"

Constantine smiled in response. "I await that day." He knew that Wang Zheng had taken everything Lear had. Of course, those weren't Lear's in the first place, but Lear wasn't one to think that way. That was why he was so bigoted, and such people put him at ease when using them.

Lear continued kneeling on the ground until the Great Elder and the Thirteenth Elder were gone. No one could see his face, which was so calm...

That spur of the moment just now was just to reinforce to Constantine that he was a monster and was easy to control...
