Ultragene Warlord

ra capital and build over it, he's taken down a second sura capital now.
What's he going to do next, wage war against the sura?”

“Zhang Lie hasn't ever feared anything—I'm sure he'll welcome war with open arms.”

“He's made massive contributions to the human race, hasn't he? Saving ten thousand prisoners from one sura kingdom, then twenty thousand from this one…
He's a shoo-in for the interstellar peace prize!”

“That's hard to say.
After all, he made waves for issuing a bounty on the Musi clan.”

“Two sura kingdoms in a row…
Zhang Lie's truly a hero!”

Within the palace of the sura empire of stars, a blood-red pillar of light flooded the skies, causing the entire kingdom to tremble.

“What did you say happened to my godson?!” the monarch of stars roared.

The official who had come to report to him trembled and shook like a leaf.
“Your majesty, according to those survivors of the purge, Xuechi has fallen.”

After taking down the capital of Xuechi, Zhang Lie had his men clean the entire kingdom of any rabble and rescue whatever prisoners remained.

Part of the sura, upon finding out that their capital had fallen, ran away silently in the night.
Some of these sura sought refuge in the empire of stars, where the information they brought was transmitted to the emperor's ears.

The monarch of stars thundered, “Who did this?!”

“According to the sura refugees, a group of allied invaders who claimed that they came from a city called Renhuang.”

The monarch of stars narrowed his eyes.
“Renhuang, is it?”

The official replied, “I believe it's very possible that this is related to what happened to Xueju.
Your majesty, I fear for King Xuechi.
His whereabouts are unknown, and his kingdom was destroyed in his absence…”

The monarch of stars snorted.
“Do you think my godson would lose to a human?!”

“No, your majesty!”

“I believe that those humans who are purportedly occupying the city are just a front.
The true mastermind behind the affair is simply trying to disgust me.
Nevertheless, we can overcome any ploy they have with brute strength.”

“Yes, your majesty! You're absolutely right—brute strength trumps over everything! No nefarious plan or ploy can stop us.
Your majesty, your intention is…”

The monarch of stars waved a casual hand.
“If one godson is unable to deal with everything, send all seven over at once.
Force this city of Renhuang to capitulate.”

Opposite him, in the sura king's treasury, Zhang Lie saw a marker on a map that reminded him of that special location in his past life where a special peak-grade lifeform apparently lived.
All he had heard of this location were rumors, and finding a hint to it here was an unexpected reward.

“Zhang Lie, look at this!”

Sun Mengmeng walked over with a book from the sura king's treasury.

Zhang Lie glanced at it and asked, “What's this?”

Unfortunately, he had no understanding of the sura script.

Sun Mengmeng replied, “I learned a little of the sura script from Xia Na.
This is the journal of the sura king Xuechi himself, and he's recorded the whereabouts of a number of strong genetic lifeforms nearby.

As you know, there's an arena within the capital.
The sura very much enjoy watching humans fight against these genetic lifeforms.”
