Swallowed Star

“Just come at me!” Morosa looked fierce, but it was actually afraid. However, it couldn’t even dodge while beneath the three levels of suppression.

Luo Feng pointed, and a crystal in the shape of a drop of water flew out of his fingers. There were engravings on the drop of water.

Sou!

The drop of water went into one of the bloody eyes of Morosa. Morosa blinked both of his eyes, and then it stood there still. It wasn’t moving at all…

******

“I’m the ultimate king, Beddy! I am the ultimate one! Hahaha!” Morosa stood beside a broken body. It raised its head and guffawed. It bowed its head and devoured again, “I’ll eat you after all. If I can eat you, I’ll be the ultimate king, and then I’ll go kill the human, Milky Way Horde Leader. I’ll be truly invincible. That pathetic Milky Way Horde Leader… He really looks down on me. I’ll make him regret it.”

Morosa was insolent.

******

Luo Feng stared at Morosa, who was still standing there without moving. Suddenly, a strange imprint of three drops showed up on its chest. Then the imprint disappeared.

“It’s done.” Luo Feng saw the waterdrop imprint show up on the chest of the Sector Beast. He could sense the soul of Morosa very soon, and he was overjoyed.

Morosa blinked its eyes, dazed. It whispered, “I—I am the ultimate king…”

“It’s time to wake up!” said Luo Feng.

“I should—I should get away from you,” said Morosa. “You fought so many Sector Beasts and left the hive in chaos. I’ve been struggling to climb up from rock bottom, getting stronger. I even ate Beddy. I’ll be the ultimate king. How…?”

Luo Feng yelled, “Morosa!”

Morosa was dazed, and the absolute veneration from the bottom of its soul made it bow. “Master,” it said.

Luo Feng smiled.

“Master, what kind of enslaving technique is that?” asked Morosa. “I didn’t even realize what was happening, but I was just enslaved like that.” Even though it was enslaved, it still had perfect memories of before, so it still remembered everything that had happened. However, from this moment on, Luo Feng would be the one it completely obeyed and admired.

“It’s called ‘Three Stars Sector,’ created by a supreme being called ‘Gold,'” said Luo Feng.

“Gold?” Morosa whispered.

“Yes, Gold.” Luo Feng nodded.

Gold was the holy one who had been the best at enslavement under Godly King of Jin Country. Before Jin Country was destroyed, he had been the right-hand man of the Godly King of Jin! His enslaved army was a mysterious but powerful force in Jin Country. Unfortunately, it had died just like Jin Country.

Hong!

Luo Feng’s miniature universe suddenly trembled, and a powerful force swept across it, as well as Luo Feng’s Star Tower.

“Huh?” Luo Feng raised his head, and so did Morosa, who was shocked.

“It’s the rules,” said Morosa.

Luo Feng nodded. A supreme force had just swept across the miniature universe, and it seemed to be an alarm—a warning of life and death.

“It’s not that easy to enslave Sector Beasts.”

Luo Feng took a look at the Sector Beast beside him and felt heavy-hearted. He understood that Sector Beasts represented destruction. He had enslaved a Sector Beast just now, which meant he might enslave the king of the Sector Beasts, who stood against the original universe and who represented the destruction of the origin! There had to be repercussions for enslaving a Sector Beast; the law wouldn’t simply let him succeed like that.

Sitting Mountain Guest sat on a fragment of a cabin that was flying outside Universe Boat. He suddenly opened his eyes, as he could feel the blurry ripple.

“Rules?” he said. “Last time, when my disciple made a breakthrough, the supreme law was triggered. Is that what just happened again?” Sitting Mountain Guest was a bit worried. “Has the king of Sector Beasts been born? Or has something else that affects the entire Universe Ocean happened again?”

Only something major could trigger the supreme laws.

******

Far in the distant Tilted Peak Sector, in the Land of Darkness, inside the core, within the endless darkness were many Sector Beasts. Some were fighting and eating. Some hid and tried to swallow power to improve themselves. Some were stalking their prey.

All the Sector Beasts were fighting to become the ultimate king. Even the weaker Sector Beasts were trying to survive, causing other Sector Beasts to die.

All of a sudden…

Hua!

Beddy, who was chasing a feeling Sector Beast, stopped. There was blood on the edge of its mouth. Both of its heads were looking in the same direction, and it whispered, “Morosa…”

“Morosa!” whispered a hideous Sector Beast clutching an axe, looking in the same direction.

Two Sector Beasts who were fighting also stopped. The ones hiding and recovering their power opened their eyes. The weak Sector Beasts that were just trying to survive also looked in the same direction.

“Morosa…”

“Morosa…”

All the Sector Beasts were dazed. They all stopped no matter what they were doing. All of them only had one thought in their minds: Morosa!

When the one billion Sector Beasts were born, they had been destined to fight and kill each other so that only one could live, which was why they could sense each other, and no matter how far they were from each other, they were able to send messages.

When Morosa was enslaved by Luo Feng, all the Sector Beasts sensed it at the same time. The life ripples of their comrade, “Morosa,” sharply changed. All the Sector Beasts immediately understood that Morosa had been enslaved!

No need for language! No need for messages! At this moment, all the living Sector Beasts sensed each other, and they could all confirm that Morosa, in the distance, had been enslaved. Morosa was no longer their comrade; instead, Morosa would be their true enemy.

Hou!

Beddy raised its head and yelled in a shrill voice.

Hou!

The Sector Beast carrying an axe did the same thing, and the voice was full of anger, hostility, and insanity.

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

At that moment, all the Sector Beasts in the hive roared at once. They were furious. They were noble creatures, yet one of their brethren had been enslaved! It was a provocation to them that could not be tolerated. It was a disgrace! A disgrace to all the Sector Beasts! One that had to be washed away by death!

Not long ago, Morosa had sent a message to all the Sector Beasts—a message about Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng. Morosa had said that it was being suppressed by Milky Way Horde Leader and had warned them to beware of the Star Tower of Milky Way Horde Leader. In Universe Ocean, it was difficult for other true gods to kill Morosa, but it wasn’t impossible. However, when it came to enslaving, only Milky Way Horde Leader was able to do so. And besides, Morosa had been suppressed by Milky Way Horde Leader, which meant it must have been Milky Way Horde Leader who enslaved Morosa!

“Milky Way Horde Leader!”

“Milky Way Horde Leader!”

“Milky Way Horde Leader!”

At that moment, all the Sector Beasts were exasperated. They were all hostile toward that reckless Milky Way Horde Leader. At that moment, they had a common enemy!

It was rare for Sector Beasts to cooperate. They didn’t want to cooperate; they were born to fight and kill each other. However, when they were threatened or angered, they would collaborate. Apparently, Milky Way Horde Leader had enslaved Morosa. This incensed all the Sector Beasts in the hive.

Hou!

The shrill and insane yelling echoed through every inch of the hive of Sector Beasts.

******

Inside the suppression space of Star Tower, Luo Feng had already taken away the three levels of power used to suppress Morosa. Since it was enslaved, so it would completely obey Luo Feng.

“Master,” said Morosa with veneration.

“Tell me about the hive of Sector Beasts.” Luo Feng looked solemn. From the force of supreme laws, Luo Feng could tell that there would be dangers coming.

Morosa answered, “I need to tell you something, Master. I told every Sector Beast in the hive about you. I shared your information.”

“What information?” Luo Feng frowned.

Morosa immediately told Luo Feng what it had revealed to the Sector Beasts. Luo Feng was stunned.

“Please forgive me, Master,” said Morosa. “I was filled with hate for you, and I was sure that I was going to die, so I wanted you dead, too… I tried to reveal how powerful and terrific you are, to motivate all the Sector Beasts to fight each other harder. They might cooperate under a threat.”

Luo Feng said, “Keep talking.”

“Also, when I was suppressed in Star Tower, I sent a message to them. I told them I couldn’t fight back at all. I told them that I had been swallowed by Star Tower and was suppressed, and I couldn’t even self-destruct.”

“What?” Luo Feng clenched his fist. He was in trouble now.

He had told the others that he couldn’t self-destruct? Apparently, Morosa had been trying to warn the Sector Beasts in the hive of how terrific Luo Feng was, so that they would be well-prepared for a threat like him.

“Master,” said Morosa anxiously, “I just wanted to take revenge against you, which is why—”

“I know, and I don’t blame you.” Luo Feng shook his head. “Let me ask you, how many Sector Beasts are there in the hive of Sector Beasts? And how powerful are they now?”

This was the problem Luo Feng was most concerned about. He needed to know thoroughly about the Sector Beasts so that he could be better prepared.

Morosa started to tell him everything it knew. “At the start, one billion Sector Beasts were born in the hive, and all the Sector Beasts were at primal status, level one.”

Luo Feng listened carefully.

“Normally, for every 33 Sector Beasts born at level one, one Sector Beast is born at level two. And out of 33 level-two Sector Beasts, one level-three Sector Beast is born, so on and so forth,” said Morosa. “If there are more than 30 level-six Sector Beasts born, they’ll keep eating each other, and the one who survives in the end will be the ultimate king—the one with the power to destroy the origin. Once a king is born, Master, you won’t be able to stop it no matter how powerful you are. As for now, the most powerful Sector Beasts in the hive should be at level four. Of course, the number of Sector Beasts at level two is the greatest. There are almost ten million Sector Beasts in the hive now.”

Ten million?

Luo Feng had already determined the number before, but he was still scared by what Morosa had just said. There were around ten million Sector Beasts in the hive that were at least as powerful as this Sector Beast? No wonder the original mind was trying everything it could to stay alive.
