Chapter 247 Disaster Always One Step Ahead of Me

The bright moonlight shone on the vast, lush plains, and the planet Morabis, shrouded in night, regained its rare tranquility.

Governor's Palace.

Li Ang looked at the voluptuous, mature woman in the bedroom, his expression extremely serious: "Take me away, Sophia."

".?"

Sofia initially thought she had misheard and was somewhat bewildered.

But when she realized that the young dragon in front of her was not joking, a blush immediately spread across her cheeks.

She fiddled with her long, rainbow-colored hair that reached her waist with her fingers, and after a long pause, she finally spoke: "Aren't we... moving a little too fast?"

To be honest, Sofia did not object to her grandfather's arrangement, after all, she had indeed reached the age where she should leave a bloodline.

After spending some time together, she felt that Li Ang was indeed a good choice. His strength, talent, temperament, and bloodline were all top-notch. Strictly speaking, she had the advantage. The only problem was...
"And you're still too young."

At this point, Sofia's voice gradually lowered until she finally pursed her lips, lost in thought.

Upon hearing this, Li Ang knew that Old Si Ji had misunderstood again, even though he did it on purpose.

Am I a bit of a jerk?

A "scumbag" usually refers to someone who flirts and then runs away. He doesn't think he's that kind of person, since he's even planning to run away with the Plant Alliance.

Li Ang coughed lightly to suppress his wandering thoughts, selectively sharing the information he currently possessed with Sophia, omitting some details.

After hearing his explanation, Sophia's face flushed bright red, and she stammered, "Is that so?"

After saying that, she wished she could bury her head in the ground.

'Oh, I'm such a bad woman.'

Sophia felt somewhat ashamed of her unspeakable, filthy thoughts.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Elise, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, swallowed the last piece of metal in her hand, then stood up and walked to Leon's side, shaking his sleeve: "Leon, I'm not full yet, give me some more."

"Take it."

Faced with the whining little dragon, Li Ang helplessly took out a spatial ring and handed it to her.

The ring contained the metals he had completely killed using the "Heaven and Earth as Furnace" technique during this period. It was originally intended as a reserve for emergencies, but unexpectedly, the little dragon dog liked these metals, so they became her new dog food.

"Oh! Li Ang is the best!"

Upon receiving the ring, Elise couldn't help but cheer, and drool involuntarily trickled from the corner of her mouth.

After this interruption, Sofia regained her composure.

Although Li Ang had not revealed anything to her before today, she was not blind.

As a member of [AIO Logistics], Sophia was well aware of the undercurrents in the Obsidian Starfield recently, but she never expected that the young dragon in front of her would be involved.

Recalling her grandfather's words of advice before she left, the rainbow-haired beauty smiled gently, a reassuring smile on her face: "Don't worry, I'll inform my grandfather right away and have him come to meet us."

"As for the Federation."

"The group will negotiate."

For [AIO Logistics], acquiring Li Ang, a mutant dragon with immense potential, would undoubtedly be a profitable venture.

Moreover, after years of cooperation, the relationship between [AIO Logistics] and the Federation has eased considerably, and the price he would have to pay to take Li Ang away was not as severe as he had imagined.

Hearing Sophia's words, Li Ang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Once he reaches the territory of [AIO Logistics], he will no longer need to live in constant fear.

Although there are factional struggles within this global behemoth and many bad elements among the dragons, it is still stronger than the Federation.

Unfortunately, just when Li Ang thought the matter had been resolved, the communication device on his right wrist suddenly began to vibrate incessantly.

With a strange sense of unease, he opened the message page, and immediately a dense barrage of new messages appeared before Sanlong's eyes.

[Warning! Warning! A seventh-level Zerg queen officially breached the Federation's defenses yesterday. All citizens of the Obsidian Starfield are advised to take precautions and seek the Governor's protection if necessary.]
[Hot mature women, sexy young women].
[Your Excellency Governor, please refrain from leaving your designated planet in the near future and provide free shelter to the citizens of the Federation.]
The vast majority of these were sent by federal officials, but a few private messages were also included.

Even without clicking on these messages to view the details, Li Ang could already tell what had happened from their titles.

The seventh-level Zerg queen successfully broke through the blockade of the 9000-strong army group. It's unclear whether the 9000-strong army group was too weak or the Zerg queen was too strong, but in any case, the opponent has officially entered the Obsidian Starfield.

"."

Recalling Martin's confident demeanor from a while ago, Li Ang's face fell, and he didn't know what to say.

Although a small portion of the message was sent individually to planetary governors like him, the majority was sent to every federal citizen in the Obsidian Sector.

After experiencing so many worlds, Li Ang was very clear about one thing.

That is, for those in power, they will only choose to make something public when it is extremely harmful and can no longer be concealed.

Therefore, it is clear that the Zerg Queen had already broken through the army blockade some time ago, and the news from Martin also confirms this.

[The Zerg Queen severely injured the Commander two days ago after paying a huge price. She has now escaped the control of the army group and disappeared. Be careful during this period, and remember to report any abnormalities in time.]

The commander-in-chief is seriously injured; this is no small matter.

Although Li Ang had never met the other party, he knew that she was a seventh-level professional like the female devil councilor.

Although Martin said that the Zerg Queen was also suffering, Li Ang had no time to care about such things.

A question suddenly arose in his mind: where had Afra gone?

Normally, this female senator wouldn't just stand by and watch something like this happen in the star system under her jurisdiction.

After glancing at Sophia, whose expression was equally serious, Li Ang replied to Martin.

I want to report this.

He planned to inform the other party of Ize's existence, but the reason given was that the other party had once clashed with [Immortal Evolution].

If this were peacetime, Li Ang might have been branded with a false accusation.

But in this special period...
Who can question his patriotism!
He sent the same message to Afra, but unfortunately she did not reply.

Fortunately, Martin responded very quickly.

When did this happen?

[Just these two days.]

I will report to the commander; do not alert the enemy.

After a brief exchange, Martin's profile picture went dark.

Seeing this, Li Ang put away his communication device and looked up at Sophia, who was sending a message.

Given the magnitude of this event, she naturally needed to inform [Aio Logistics].

After a moment, Sophia let out a soft breath and then said, "Grandfather already knows what happened here. He told us to be calm and that the group will send people to meet us soon."

Despite saying that, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seventh level
If this were placed in Sophia's hometown, which she had never visited, she would be comparable to a god.

If such a being were to make a move, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for all living beings.

At this moment, she found herself in the midst of this catastrophe.

Seemingly sensing Sophia's unease, Li Ang patted her arm and comforted her, "Don't worry, the Barr Cluster is still some distance from the border. We shouldn't be that unlucky."

Li Ang actually wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but the old driver in front of him was too tall, so he had to settle for patting her arm instead. Hearing this, Sophia nodded slightly, a somewhat complicated smile on her face: "I know, but... never mind, thank you for your comfort."

Unlike Li Ang and Erlong, Elise still doesn't quite understand what happened.

It's just a big bug, I don't know what's so scary about it.

But it doesn't matter. If this giant bug threatens Sophia's mother and Leon's owner, then Elise will let them know that all that dirt she's been carrying isn't for nothing!

Thinking of this, the little dragon picked up the metal block and began to gnaw on it like a hamster.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Ize and Centipede stood in the courtyard, quietly gazing at the dazzling starry sky above.

After a brief silence, the tattooed alchemist exhaled softly, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a touch of emotion, "After all these years, I can finally take the next step."

“Let’s begin. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we’ll get another chance? Besides, Afra should have already noticed something amiss.”

Upon hearing this, the centipede scratched its hair and said lazily, "You certainly know how to order people around."

"This was your mission, otherwise why would the group send you here?"

"Oh, I see. This is such a hassle."

Faced with its companion's warning, the centipede curled its lip in exasperation.

Without him making any move, several grotesque limbs suddenly pierced through his back and emerged.

However, as a terrifying whimper emanated from its throat, the centipede's expression gradually became strange.

A moment later, he turned to the person beside him and said in a strange tone, "That Zerg Queen is heading towards Morabis."

"..." Ize was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "The reason?"

"Let me see."

The centipede scratched its head and then began searching for relevant information in a certain neural network.

Upon seeing a key piece of information, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Longlong?!"

As the centipede uttered those words, the two couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

Dragon, Morabis
They're not stupid; they naturally know who this information is referring to.

Ize immediately frowned, muttering to himself, "Could it be that I've missed some information?"

Having dealt with the target before, he felt that given the strength the target had demonstrated, he shouldn't have misjudged them.

unless
"See? I told you that little dragon cub was suspicious."

The muttering brought Ize back to reality.

Now is not the right time to argue with this entomologist beside me, after all, his decades-long plan has reached its most crucial step.

'Tsk, if the original body were here now, this probably wouldn't have happened.'

'But that little dragon cub is at most at the fifth level of energy; it probably can't cause any real trouble.'

Thinking of this, Ize immediately made up his mind.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Centipede couldn't help but say, "Let's make this clear first, I'm not going to fight for you."

"There's no need for you to take action."

Ize rolled his eyes, not surprised by the centipede's words.

This guy is almost driven mad by his research on insects. If it weren't for the fact that the plan required his cooperation, Ize wouldn't want to deal with him at all.

Just then, an extremely cold and childish voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire Obsidian Starfield.

"Immortal Evolution! You're courting death!"

It was Afra, the councilwoman who hadn't been seen for a long time.

Her response was a cacophony of voices from men, women, and children: "Afra, why are you still so hot-tempered at your age? Or is it that your mind, like your body, has never developed?"

"What? Do you need us to perform surgery on you?"

"Don't worry, I won't charge you."

Without a doubt, these words hit Afraido's minefield with absolute precision.

The little devil senator didn't say anything more, but was prepared to leave the speaker with a lesson he would never forget.

Feeling the chill that seemed to devour him completely, Li Ang's expression grew even more serious.

The sudden turn of events made him realize that whatever [Immortal Evolution] was planning to do, it had reached a critical juncture; otherwise, it would not have rashly broken ties with the Federation.

'Where are the councilors from the surrounding star systems? Such a major event happening in the Obsidian Star System, and they're not even looking at it?'

Just as Li Ang was wondering about this, a strange sense of threat made him suddenly tear off all his pretense.

boom--!
With a deafening roar that ripped through the sky, terrifying energy surged forth, instantly reducing the governor's mansion and the vast plain behind it to dust.

As far as the eye could see, the earth looked as if a piece of flesh had been ripped out, leaving only a huge, all-consuming crater.

Before the dust, thick enough to blot out the sky, Ize retracted the dragon head from his shoulder into his body.

He stared at the empty space before him, a moment of confusion washing over him: "...Dead?"

The being that could make the Zerg Queen, a seventh-level being, come willingly, just die like that?

Feeling somewhat speechless, Yize couldn't help but scratch his head.

However, just as he was about to leave, a grayish-white bone spur appeared out of nowhere behind him.

"Ha! I knew it!"

Faced with the sneak attack, Ize showed a 'I knew it' expression and flashed into the distance.

Looking at the young man slowly emerging from the black space opposite him, the alchemy master's face immediately showed an expression of great interest: "Fifth level? I didn't even realize it."

"There is indeed something wrong with you."

"I've changed my mind. I'll reserve a place for you on my person."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang simply stared at the other person indifferently.

He was already on guard when Afra and the unknown entity made their move, so Izawa's sneak attack naturally failed. The governor's staff, along with the Alchemy Kingdom, had all been taken into the Heavenly Palace.

Now that he's already taken action, there's no need for him to continue hiding it.

After using the [Great Luo Insight] technique, which he had previously refrained from using to avoid arousing suspicion, Li Ang successfully saw through the true nature of the person opposite him and understood why he was able to appear at both the Secret Blood Corporation headquarters and Morabis Star at the same time.

"Heh, I didn't realize you were just a split entity either."

Upon hearing this, Ize looked up in surprise.

However, upon seeing Li Ang's pair of dazzling eyes that emitted a faint golden light, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

The next moment, he remembered where this sense of familiarity came from.

"You're the voyeur?!"

"?"
