Chapter 263 Sister and Brother
In front of Yang Ming, Po Su chose to self-disintegrate, leaving behind that group of cells.
This is the ability that Posa evolved on her own - reshaping.
The principle of remodeling is to utilize the ability of the ancient god's life form's single cell to complete overall proliferation.
Waves of strange energy surrounded the group of cells, and one third of them flowed directly towards Yang Ming.
Yang Ming's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his body temperature began to soar, sweat oozed out of his body, and he felt like he was about to explode.
As a last resort, Yang Ming left the cabin directly, broke open the porthole in the corridor, and was brought back to the Dongfeng by the particle transporter.
026 rushed over quickly, and the robot urgently delivered a large dose of gene stabilizing fluid.
Yang Ming continued to endure the pain all over his body.
A large amount of strange biological energy poured into every cell of his, impacting every nerve of his.
Even if he killed three fourth-level queens in a row, the cumulative improvement he would get would not be half of this time!
Now Yang Ming can only be thankful.
He was thankful that he had been chopping bugs diligently, and that the Valkyrie had been killed twice before, and that he had taken away some of her energy before, laying a solid foundation for this body.
If I had just stepped out of the research ship, even if I didn't self-destruct, I would most likely have evolved directly into a tumor monster.
"Lü! Keep an eye on her! Send me to the medical bay! Keep injecting the gene stabilizing fluid!"
"Boss, relax! I'll take care of this!"
"I'm burning up! Hurry!"
026 picked up Yang Ming and rushed to the medical cabin next to him.
Lu controlled several medical robots and went to the bridge, where he worked with 026 for a while.
Only when Yang Ming's physical indicators became relatively stable did Lu and 026 breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong with the boss?" 026 asked puzzledly.
"Every time the Valkyrie dies, the boss can steal some of her biological energy," Lu explained. "This time it might be because he was too close to the Valkyrie, or the Valkyrie gave some of the strange creatures of the ancient god's life form to the boss..."
In the medical cabin, flame-like lines appeared on Yang Ming's skin, as if a large number of capillaries under the skin were repeatedly breaking and healing.
Lu and 026 were waiting outside anxiously.
In that transport ship, the mass of cells had disappeared, replaced by a human embryo. The embryo already had a clear body structure and continued to develop at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu controlled a robot and arrived here carefully. He brought some nutrient solution, but did not dare to touch the embryo. He placed the nutrient solution near the embryo.
About half an hour later, the ancient god life form, which had grown into a baby-like appearance, appeared in the nutrient solution by itself, sucking its thumb to allow its body to grow slowly.
026, who witnessed this scene, suddenly wanted to have a baby.
Of course, she was just thinking about it. She was still young and could work for her boss for a few more decades.
…
Within the New Federation, the Empire's six major combat groups advanced simultaneously.
Catherine sat in the driving seat of the Stinger, staring at the screen in front of her meticulously.
His Majesty the Emperor is in the industrial ship next to him.
From the time the fleet set out until now, the Military Intelligence Bureau has found more than a dozen spies in the army. Although the spies' military ranks are not high, it is certain that they have leaked the news that His Majesty the Emperor will lead the army in person.
All the major fleets maintained gravitational interference, fearing that the enemy would suddenly jump and attack the industrial ship at the rear.
To some extent, the defense here is second only to the Imperial Star, and the safety factor is much higher than those palaces in the Imperial Star Circle.
The eight Stinger ships that Catherine and her team were on duty on also became an important outer line of defense.
"Captain, you take a break. The three of us will keep an eye on it together."
Several team members were whispering nearby.
"good."
Catherine responded in a low voice. Even though she was a super transformer, she looked a little tired at the moment.
"I'm going to take a nap on the sofa in the back. Call me if anything happens."
"Captain, you don't have to be so nervous. No one can say for sure whether His Majesty is really in this industrial ship."
"That's right. There must be some precautions up there."
"Besides, we are only one line of defense among dozens of lines of defense. Our Stinger can only do some electromagnetic interference work."
Catherine glared at the two women and one man and said seriously, "Do your job carefully."
The three of them grinned and after entering their posts, they observed every place meticulously.
They were also quite nervous.
Catherine took off her windbreaker, and the slim-fitting combat uniform highlighted her beautiful body curves. She lay down and covered herself with the windbreaker, then habitually took out the communicator and repeatedly refreshed the message interface.
There is still no news from him, and I don’t know if his injury has improved.
Catherine wanted to send a message to the 'White Ghost's Assistant', but she remembered that she was only allowed to use the fleet's internal network at the moment, so she could only shift her attention to the current war.
They expected to arrive near a small administrative planet in the New Federation in three hours.
According to the detection reports from the front, there are no soldiers or warships there, the cities on the surface are empty, people have taken refuge in shelters, and the heads of the local government have begun preparing for surrender and are willing to accept all surrender conditions.
It is just a small administrative planet, mainly developing planting and animal husbandry. Due to its remote location, it has no economic value, and the environment of 1.3 times the standard gravity makes it impossible to become a tourist destination.
The Imperial fleet will not get too close to this administrative planet, only a small fleet will be stationed there, indicating that they have occupied it.
'Will there be any problems?'
Catherine thought carefully.
She always felt that although the empire's advancement had just begun, it was... too peaceful.
Catherine opened her contact book and searched carefully. She soon found that she had no normal generals to contact. The only people she could communicate directly with now were the other seven super-modifier captains and the commanders who issued orders to them.
Catherine sent a message to the commander, reminding him to be careful of possible traps and ambushes ahead.
The commander replied a few minutes later, and the content of the reply was simple:
"Just do your job well and trust the frontline commanders."
Catherine shrugged, put the communicator back into her windbreaker pocket, turned over, lay on her side and closed her eyes to rest.
Two and a half galactic hours later, accompanied by a loud roar and not-so-strong gravitational fluctuations, a piece of news spread throughout the Milky Way.
[The Sherman Empire fleet detonated the surrendered administrative planet. The Empire will destroy every planet it encounters next until democracy and freedom are wiped out in the galaxy.]
The war first broke out in the field of public opinion.
…
Yang Ming's body almost exploded.
He didn't know how long he slept in a daze. His mind was always filled with broken dreams, and the memories of Hamton and his own memories on Earth bombarded him one after another.
But fortunately, he survived.
When he opened his eyes, he was still in the medical cabin. The first thing Yang Ming did was to feel his whole body to make sure he had no "lumps of flesh". Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The world in his eyes seemed to have changed. His attention was slightly more focused, and he seemed to be able to directly see the tiny fibers flowing in the air.
More acute perception.
Every cell in the body seems to respond to the commands sent by the brain.
He didn't need to move, just lying there, as if he could take in the entire Dongfeng within his sight.
——Spiritual power has increased tremendously.
Is Posa deliberately giving him a large portion of that strange creature energy?
What do you mean, as a thank you for not killing her?
Or was this Posha's way of survival, allowing him to suppress her in terms of strength so that he would let down his guard against her?
Two question marks appeared on Yang Ming's forehead .
The glass cover in front of him slowly opened. Yang Ming moved his neck and sat up, then raised his hand to touch his armpit.
When his condition was not good before, 026 took a special laser injector and attacked his armpits fiercely.
"Boss, you're awake."
Several projection devices in the corner were running at the same time, and Lu's figure immediately appeared on the side, wearing a pink nurse uniform.
The medical cabin was smoothly erected, and Yang Ming stepped out and did some simple stretching exercises.
He suddenly had the illusion that he could crush the entire battleship...
This is definitely an illusion.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"More than fifty galactic hours."
So long?
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment: "Where is the Valkyrie?"
"She's redeveloping."
Lu raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the projection screen was spread in front of Yang Ming, which quickly played the changes of the Valkyrie over the past fifty hours.
When the picture freezes, a delicate little girl is sitting among a circle of metal building blocks, including a big house and a swimming pool.
Yang Ming couldn't help but tilt his head.
Valkyrie, playing with building blocks?
Even if the body is reshaped, the mind and consciousness still exist, right? He should be an adult, right? This...
"The look in her eyes and the complexity of her brain waves indicate that she has a mature mind."
The law reminded:
"But now, it seems like she's enjoying the growth process, and when her body reached this growth stage six hours ago, it stopped growing."
Yang Ming said he didn’t understand.
He thought of something, closed his eyes, and sensed quietly.
The deep starry sky and bright stars appeared again.
The young girl Posuo seemed to be right in front of Yang Ming. She curled up her body, and her empty eyes were staring into the distance in a daze.
For the first time, Yang Ming did not feel the oppressive force from her.
This was also the first time that Yang Ming did not feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
"She gave me some of her power in order to close the genetic gap between her and me?"
Yang Ming asked, and the nurse Lu beside him didn't know how to answer.
"Boss, if you don't need to think about the threat from the Valkyrie for the time being, there are two important things I want to report to you first."
"What's the big deal?"
"One is..."
The projection screen in front of Yang Ming quickly switched images, and a green planet appeared in front of Yang Ming, with a series of data next to it.
Lu Kuaisheng introduced:
“This is a secondary administrative star on the border of the New Federation. It is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, with a population of several million. It has no official name, only a number.
"What's special is that it is the first new federal administrative unit that the Empire's Invincible Fleet and the six major battle groups come into contact with on their way forward.
"Forty-three galactic hours ago, the administrative planet was detonated."
Yang Ming frowned tightly: "It was detonated?"
"Detonate the core of the star and disintegrate the planet."
Lu switched to the next scene, which was a scene of a planet exploding.
The law said quickly:
"There was an Imperial fleet nearby at the time, but it did not actively attack the planet.
"According to calculations, the energy required to detonate the core of a planet requires a kilometer-class battleship to directly bombard the core. If the obstacles of the crust and mantle are taken into account, a heavy battleship will need to bombard the core more than twelve times in a row to detonate the core.
“In fact, the Imperial fleet didn’t fire a single shot.
"If it was a pre-placed detonator, that would be a different matter."
Yang Ming had understood what Lu meant: "You mean, the New Federation detonated its own secondary administrative planet?"
"This is the only possibility now. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that other anti-imperial forces planned this action."
Lu slid his finger quickly, and the picture on the projection screen changed continuously, showing the news pages of major political bodies in the Milky Way.
“The result now is that the whole galaxy is reporting that the wrath of the Empire melted an unknown planet.
“Most media outlets are trying to show the cruelty of the war, saying it is a sign of the Empire’s determination and a precursor to the Empire’s complete destruction of the New Federation’s political system.
"The media controlled by the New Federation are leading in the direction of 'the brutal empire has lost its humanity', 'they do not allow free thoughts to shake the rule of the dictator', and 'we need all free countries to unite'."
Yang Ming: …
Using the lives of three million people and a barely habitable planet as bargaining chips for a counterattack in public opinion.
This is interstellar war.
Lu sighed, "Now, the fighting spirit of all classes in the New Federation has been completely ignited, major capitals have gathered on Mingte Star, the number of conscripts signing up has begun to surge, and more and more political systems in the international community are supporting the New Federation."
"This is the great power of the galaxy."
Yang Ming sighed softly:
“Three million lives may just be a number in their eyes. Since they have no asset value, they are not even as valuable as a residential building in Minter City.”
"Yes, boss. The Empire is now in a passive position in terms of public opinion. They did not expect the New Federation to resort to such means."
"What about the Imperial fleet? Have they stopped marching?"
"No, the fleet's marching speed has actually increased."
Lu said solemnly:
"In terms of intelligence and propaganda, the Empire has been completely defeated by the New Federation. They must regain their lost face on the real battlefield. Especially those guys in the Military Intelligence Bureau, they are eager for the New Federation's main fleet to show up for a decisive battle.
“The New Federation has concentrated its main fleet in the star field near the city of Minter.
“I think there is another benefit to them actively bombing a small administrative star, which is to use public opinion to clamp down on the Empire, so that the Empire cannot use the administrative star on the road as a threat to force their fleet to go to a decisive battle.
"If the decisive battle takes place near Minter City, the New Federation will have many advantages."
Yang Ming rubbed his brows and whispered, "Pay more attention to the war situation in the future. If you can help the empire, help it. Although I also want to see the empire weaken, I want to see the New Federation fall even more."
"Yes, Lu understands our position."
"Now, let me take a look at this Valkyrie," Yang Ming casually took off his sticky clothes, "what exactly is she up to?"
Lu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
…
Half an hour later.
After taking a shower, Yang Ming put on his exoskeleton armor again, hung up his lightsaber, and appeared in the transport ship.
The young version of Posa had given up on the building blocks and was squatting beside a runway that the robot had just built, tilting her head to watch a flying saucer-shaped car sliding back and forth.
"Is it fun?"
Yang Ming asked with a smile.
The three-year-old Po Su turned her head and glanced at Yang Ming. Her lifeless eyes now had a little more light.
She pointed at herself: "Name."
"Name? Your name is Po Su."
Posa was somewhat speechless: "New name!"
"Ah, this... I'm a little slow to react when you say that. How about calling, calling... Lao Gan Ma?"
The little woman clenched her pink and tender fists.
Yang Ming chuckled twice: "Just kidding, just kidding, Posa's name is pretty nice. If you are obsessed with the formalism of changing a name to try to start a new life, then you will most likely still fall into the shadow, because you will only have the courage to escape from the beginning."
She thought seriously for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and pointed at Yang Ming.
"younger brother."
He pointed at himself again.
“Big sister!”
Yang Ming: …
Well, calling her Big Sister Valkyrie is not a loss for me. After all, the genes that make me strong come from this Big Sister.
"Sister, sister," Yang Ming said with a wry smile, "Just tell me if you need anything. Since you have taken the initiative to give me so much biological energy, I will try my best to satisfy you."
The little woman was lost in memories and squatted there in long contemplation.
Going to the beach was the first thing she asked for.
