But Zhang Cheng, on the other hand, still had the mind to pursue his dangerous research and experiments.

"You should know his personality! Crazy and arrogant! Nothing can stop him from evolving into a higher form of life except death. I suggest you don't include him in the first batch of targets for the time being."

"Don't worry, he wasn't originally in the plan. Also, tell everyone to get ready. In seventy-two hours, I plan to give these arrogant guys a big surprise."

"Oh? Are they going to make a move?"

"No! It was just a surprise attack! It made the commanders of the Tamon Empire dare not send out cannon fodder so recklessly again."

……

Meanwhile, Zhang Cheng, who had returned to the mothership, was standing in front of the corpse of an Abyss Lord.

Unlike ordinary abyss lords, this guy's size has exceeded the limits that genes and cells can withstand, and his body is covered with an unknown layer of armor, and his two eyes are constantly flashing with a cold light.

It goes without saying that this corpse is the unfortunate man who died suddenly in the experiment not long ago.

Compared to the previous one that was crushed into dust, there has been significant progress; at least its physical structure has begun to be completely "heroic".

Unfortunately, his spirit and soul had been torn apart by the terrifying energy shockwave.

"Sigh...almost there! Where did I go wrong?" Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

As for the fierce war raging outside, he wasn't worried at all.

At least until the initiator personally intervenes, there's no need to worry about a complete annihilation.

Chapter 1024 Turn Enemies into Friends

"Master, are you still troubled by the failure of the experiment?"

The succubus queen, Reines, appeared beside him at some point and carefully traced Zhang Cheng's chest from behind with her slender fingers.

Although she knew perfectly well that such provocative actions would have no effect on a Titan, some things in her nature could never be erased.

Zhang Cheng ignored the minor offense and said without turning his head, "Shouldn't I be troubled? Look at the swarming fleets outside, and the powerful enemy that hasn't even shown itself yet. Although this isn't the most dangerous situation I've ever been in, it's not far off. Take a good look at the space and time around you. From the moment the warships launched their full-scale attack, everything was firmly locked down by some inexplicable force. Do you know what that means?"

"Does that mean...we can't escape?!" Reines's expression changed drastically, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

“That’s right!” Zhang Cheng nodded meaningfully. “To be precise, we cannot retreat through normal means. Therefore, we must win this battle, no matter the cost. And what could be more important than strengthening ourselves to defeat a powerful enemy?”

"I understand! Don't worry, I'll arrange for people to prepare for the third experiment right away." With that, the Succubus Queen, disregarding her alluring image, quickly disappeared at the end of the mothership's passageway.

In contrast, Zhang Cheng remained calm and stood still.

No one could figure out what he was thinking at that moment, not even the demons who had followed him for a long time. They only knew that their master was definitely brewing a huge conspiracy in secret.

……

While all eyes were focused on this event that would determine the future of the universe, no one noticed that a small warship, which was stationed outside the battlefield, entered the three-dimensional universe at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, directly using the power of the strings, and docked on the main road of a primitive planet. The name of this continent was none other than the famous "Westero".

As the hatch opened, a clone identical to Zhang Cheng in human form stepped out, chuckling self-deprecatingly, "I never thought I'd actually be back. Hopefully, Warren hasn't gone mad yet, or things will get complicated."

Clearly, he wanted to use the other party's ability to glimpse fate and the future to help him complete the "Trinity" experiment.

In any case, Warrent's abilities are very special and quite powerful, and now is the perfect time for him to put his strengths to good use.

As for the grudges and conflicts between the two, they are nothing in the face of interests.

Zhang Cheng was confident that he could force them to submit, no matter how much they hated him.

search!

position!

Teleport!

In less than a minute, Zhang Cheng appeared in front of Warrent, who had completely degenerated into a savage, and exclaimed in feigned surprise, "My God! What happened to you?"

"You?! It's you!!!!!"

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Warrent's eyes immediately became bloodshot, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

hunger!

pain!

Torment!

And the pursuit continues endlessly!

All these apocalyptic disasters were brought upon us by this evil man before us.

The fact that he didn't immediately jump up and stab the other person's heart with his longsword already showed an incredible level of self-control.

"It's me, my dear friend. If it's convenient, could you tell me what happened?" Zhang Cheng blinked, feigning innocence.

"Pah! How dare you ask!" Warrent was clearly disgusted by his clumsy acting and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

If he hadn't known that this guy was just an insignificant clone, and that his magical power far surpassed his own, he would have already made his move.

Zhang Cheng was undoubtedly quite aware of the other party's thoughts at that moment, and said with a smile, "I think there might be a misunderstanding between us, which I can explain. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to accept my goodwill and help."

"Kindness? Help? Are you kidding me? No! I will never trust you again! You're a fucking lunatic and a psychopath! There's no one else in the entire universe who would make such a depraved arrangement for such a trivial matter. Look me in the eyes! Do you know how I've survived all this time..."

Warren was clearly going all out, unleashing a torrent of profanities and venting his pent-up resentment through a constant stream of vulgarities.

no way!

We can't beat them even if we fight!

What else can he do besides vent his frustrations?

Anyway, the worst that can happen is death!

Living in constant fear is worse than dying and ending it all.

Zhang Cheng stood there, showing not a trace of anger or annoyance from beginning to end. Only after the other party had finished cursing did he smile and ask, "Finished cursing?"

While those skilled in verbal sparring may shine in various literary and cinematic works, constantly showcasing their bravado and face-slapping antics, in harsh reality, they often only end up hurting those closest to them and making themselves even angrier.

He usually takes two approaches to verbal abuse: either completely ignore it or crush the other person like a bug.

Without a doubt, Warrent cannot die now; he still has great value to be used.

"I'm done cursing!" Warren squatted on the ground, panting heavily, his thin chest heaving, his whole being filled with a strong sense of defeat.

“Very good! Now that you’ve finished arguing, let’s move on to the next stage and talk about resolving the misunderstanding and joining forces again. I’m currently facing considerable trouble and need your abilities.” Zhang Cheng never liked to waste time with small talk and stated his purpose directly.

He knew very well that the fact that this guy, who had degenerated to the point of almost becoming a savage, had persisted in not committing suicide until now naturally showed an unparalleled desire to live.

Since they crave survival, they naturally have weaknesses that can be used as bargaining chips for exchange or exploitation.

As for what to do after using it up, we'll think about that later.

The most important thing right now is to complete the "trinity" experiment and ensure that the organization does not fail in this crucial battle.

As long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter if it means joining forces with old enemies.

Moreover, does Warren even deserve to be Zhang Cheng's enemy?

He couldn't even kill a mere clone, let alone threaten the powerful life form that resulted from the fusion...

Chapter 1025 Compromise

The weak are pathetic when they have no power!

Whether it's the most primitive and cruel slavery or the so-called civilized society of modern humans, the vast majority of the weak, apart from obediently playing their role as "means of production," have basically no power to resist the ruling class.

Clearly, in the power balance between the two, Warrent is the "tool" that can be discarded at any time and picked up again when needed.

In Zhang Cheng's increasingly extreme view, no other life form besides himself is worthy of being called his "fellow kind".

Therefore, he treated Warrent like a useful but disobedient dog, his eyes revealing naked contempt and mockery.

Do you want to live?

Do you yearn to live like a real human being and escape your current miserable life, which is worse than that of a stray dog?

Then obediently lie down on the ground, bark a few times, and wag your tail.

That's right!

This is the attitude Zhang Cheng is showing at this moment; he is not worried at all that this extremely down-on-his-luck guy will choose to commit suicide.

Because if someone truly had the courage to commit suicide, how could they have endured unimaginable torment and struggled to live until now?

"What exactly do you want to do?" Warrent asked tentatively through gritted teeth, barely suppressing the anger that was about to explode within him.

“It’s simple! I need your abilities! Of course, I’m not referring to your current half-baked abilities, but rather the enhanced ones. Fate and precognition aren’t actually your true abilities. Your true power lies in sensing the resonance of strings, and through that resonance, perceiving the true essence of this universe that transcends time and space. To put it more simply, your perception of cosmic energy far surpasses that of ordinary people.” Zhang Cheng calmly explained.

The power of fate?

What a ridiculous title!

Does fate really exist in this world?

Do not!

It's just that Earth's level of civilization is too low to understand what a "string" really is.

It's like presenting an advanced technological creation to a backward ancient person, who would mistakenly believe it to be some incredible treasure, and might even associate it with supernatural forces such as magic or witchcraft.

"What do you mean?" Warren frowned instinctively.

It's important to know that there's no concept of time in higher-dimensional universes. Less than three years have passed in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire since the two last parted ways.

Yet, in those short three years, he found himself completely unable to see through the strange aura emanating from the man before him. He couldn't even sense the trajectory of the other's fate.

Ethereal!

nothingness!

A strong sense of mystery!

Warren simply couldn't understand what had happened to the other person to cause such an unbelievable change.

Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head: "No, it doesn't mean anything. I'm just a little sentimental about how ridiculous my understanding of power was back then. I actually thought you had the ability to see into the past and future. But undeniably, your power is indeed very rare and precious, and it can help me complete that crazy experiment."

"And what about me? What can I get out of this? How can you guarantee you won't use me and then discard me again?" Warren asked with a cold laugh.

Even a monkey will remember a lesson learned from being wronged once, let alone someone who was treated like an idiot and made to live a life that was neither human nor ghost.

"Hahahaha! Do you think you have the right to negotiate? No! My dear friend, you don't. Promises? Vows? Do you really think I would be bound by these boring rules and regulations? Don't be naive! You should know very well that I am a monster without morality, without humanity, and without any bottom line, a madman who would rather destroy the world than not satisfy his own greed and desires." Zhang Cheng laughed loudly, making no attempt to hide his dark and wicked soul.
