Ultragene Warlord

A massive army gathered in the air through the wormhole.
Half the world of the east could see their invasion, not just the guests gathered at the venue.

”What ’s that in the sky? ”

”Just what is going on…?! ”

Pozhi shouted at the entire world with all three heads at once, ”Useless trash! Quail and tremble—your doomsday is here! ”

The next moment, before anyone could react, Pozhi commanded his troops, ”Xuluo, charge! ”

The xuluo soldiers that had gathered in the sky now leapt toward the inhabitants of the eastern world, flooding out of the hole in a black tide.

Even the most foolish inhabitant of the eastern world could understand the xuluo ’s purpose now—they were none other than an invading force.

Li Qianlin was calmer than Zhang Lie had expected.
She immediately called out, ”Protect the king! ”

Zhang Lie reached out and grabbed her icy-cold hand.
”There ’s no need to worry.
Your father and I expected that the other superior worlds would interfere.
The superior worlds that have existed since ancient times aren ’t willing to see more members join their fray.
They ’ve been treating the three thousand worlds like their personal pigpen. ”

”Father prepared for this? ” Li Qianlin clarified, but before Zhang Lie could respond, the elite troops of the eastern world rose into the sky.

Ever since he had informed Li Zongming about the secret behind the superior worlds, Li Zongming had been planning for this eventuality, and he had managed to gather his forces outside the venue before the start of the ceremony.

The guests ’ morale instantly rose.

”The eastern forces are here! ”

”They ’ll surely be able to deal with all our enemies! ”

”Daring to invade the eastern world at this critical juncture—these invaders are asking to be slaughtered! ”

Pozhi coldly mocked the eastern troops charging forward in response to the xuluo invasion.
”Ignorant fools! ”

The sound of slaughter echoed through the sky.
A simple sweep of the xuluo ’s hands killed a large swathe of the eastern elites even though they hadn ’t seemed to move at all.
Blood and corpses rained down from the sky.
In just a single clash, the eastern troops found themselves overwhelmed.

Indeed, even the peak of large worlds wouldn ’t be able to compare with a superior world in terms of strength.

”Why? Just how could this be? ” Everything had happened so quickly that the guests in the venue didn ’t know how to react nor what had happened.

Li Qianlin ’s fingers trembled.
Her face was so pale that Zhang Lie was pained just from looking at her.
The eastern elites had risen up to, and subsequently fallen from, the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing behind but blood and corpses.
No fighting had happened, only bloodshed and slaughter.

”Heaven ’s might… ” Zhang Lie murmured.

The xuluo cultivated a strange power known as heaven ’s might, a power that gave them superhuman strength.

Zhang Lie had witnessed this unusual power for himself in his past life during the defense against the death spirits.
The hunters of the Milky Way had tried to analyze this mysterious power in detail, and some genius or another had actually succeeded.

The xuluo were an unusual class of lifeform that hovered between life and death.
It was this precarious balance that allowed them to access this otherworldly power.
In terms of the scientific principles that governed the Milky Way, it was quantal in nature.

The famous thought experiment of Schrodinger ’s cat details an experiment in which a cat is placed in a box, along with a poisonous capsule with a certain chance of breaking and killing the cat.
Before the box is opened and the state of the cat is observed, the cat would exist in a superposition of live and dead states.

The xuluo ’s power was the ability to choose the desired outcome if it were more likely than not—if they were more likely than not to kill the eastern soldiers, it would be guaranteed.
In other words, they could manipulate cause and effect.

A seed that was planted in the ground and watered daily would slowly grow into a tall tree.
Planting the seed was the cause, watering it was the process, and the tall tree was the effect.
Heaven ’s might allowed the xuluo to skip the process between cause and effect and turn the seed directly into a tree.

The seed that was to grow into a tall tree would be subject to the elements for years and years, and all sorts of incidents could happen in the meantime—floods, fire, a hunter chopping it down for wood— but as long as it was more likely than not to survive into maturity, heaven ’s might would allow it to mature immediately.

The most potent use of this ability was in reproduction. 

The xuluo had four heavenly kings, each of whom had a fighting force of ten million xuluo.
There were four hundred million xuluo in all, and they were the only one among the ten superior worlds with such immense reproductive abilities.

A male xuluo could get a female xuluo pregnant with that heaven ’s might in the blink of an eye, and the female xuluo could gestate that fetus in just a single night.
It was obvious how potent this ability could be.

The xuluo, who possessed this heavenly power, were a force that none of the other superior worlds could afford to ignore.

Zhang Lie let go of Li Qianlin and stepped forward, but Li Qianlin held him firm.
”Where are you going? ”

Zhang Lie caressed Li Qianlin ’s cheek.
”To help your world resolve this challenge. ”

”But this isn ’t your world! ” Li Qianlin was touched, but logic jolted her awake.
This wasn ’t Zhang Lie ’s world, and Zhang Lie wouldn ’t be protected by the will of the east…

Zhang Lie shook his head and replied seriously, ”Don ’t worry.
These xuluo can ’t do anything against me. ”

He took a single step forward, cut through space, and vanished from the spot.

The forces of the east were slaughtered in a mere instant, and none of them knew how such a feat had been accomplished.
Even the veteran soldiers began to shrink back as the xuluo fighters smirked and grinned maliciously.

Zhang Lie appeared before the xuluo.

”Haha, another victim! ”

Zhang Lie didn ’t respond to their taunts.
He clenched his fists tightly and gathered blue genetic energy around him.
Ripples of genetic energy emanated from his arms.
He flicked his wrists, spawning a frightening aura in the rapidly darkening skies.

A fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.
Howling gales shook the air around him.
Everything within a radius of ten kilometers was blown away.

When Pozhi noticed him, his face suddenly grew serious.
He sensed a major difference between Zhang Lie and the eastern troops who had charged forward like lambs to the slaughter—even he couldn ’t use heaven ’s might to damage Zhang Lie, meaning that, if they were to fight against each other, he was the disadvantaged party.

”Be careful! ” Pozhi shouted at the xuluo, but it was already too late…
