Zeus's grace is higher than the sky

Zeus put away his device and took the lead in walking toward the central tower. When Metatron and Sail Tower followed behind, a gap could be seen automatically opening in front of them, as if opening a door for insiders who knew the way.

There were no piercing alarms, no roaring energy surges, and even the patrol robots on the ground merely flashed their lights in a friendly manner before continuing to move along their original routes.

The defenses inside the tower are even more sophisticated: the laser grids on both sides of the corridor adjust their angle as people move, the elevators require triple authentication to start, and the doors in the core area are covered with complex energy patterns.

But this was nothing more than a piece of cake for Zeus and his two companions. They simply scanned the laser grid with their portable terminals, and the originally intersecting red light instantly dimmed.

When faced with the elevator's identity verification, Zeus simply tapped the data stream that popped up with his fingertip, and the verification interface displayed "Permission granted".

As for the core door, which is covered with patterns, it is simply a matter of pressing a button on the terminal, and the door slowly opens with a slight mechanical sound.

The entire process was as quiet as a routine visit, without any fierce confrontation or complex decryption rituals. Grammer's defense system, built with countless resources, proved to be a paper wall in the face of technology far exceeding its own capabilities. Only when the three reached the floor where the incubation pods were located did they hear a faint commotion in the distance.

Clearly, Grammer's defense system only belatedly detected the anomaly at this moment.

Chapter 282 Meeting

Zeus paused, raised an eyebrow, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

Due to material limitations, although his hacking methods were quite sophisticated for Grammer, if Zeus himself were to evaluate the technology he used, it would be a different story.

"It's so rough it couldn't be rougher."

Zeus originally thought that his hacking had not been completely concealed, and that there was still an undetected "surprise" hidden in Grammer's defense system.

Perhaps it's a deeply buried backup monitoring node, or some kind of stealth algorithm that can identify disguises, which makes him more expectant of the technological foundation of this civilization.

The next second, a team of silver-white mechanical guards rushed out from around the corner, their energy weapons already activated. They completely ignored Zeus and his two companions who were right next to them, and swept past them, rushing towards the gate on the outside of the central tower.

The three of them looked in the direction the mechanical guard was moving and saw the source of the commotion.

Grammer's high-ranking officials were rushing frantically toward the central tower from the direction of the council chamber. One of them, while operating the defense control console, accidentally touched a red button on the panel due to excessive anxiety, which directly triggered the central tower's external alarm program.

He pounded on the control panel in frustration, but could only watch helplessly as the mechanical guards rushed out of the tower to stand guard according to the preset instructions, treating them as intruders and completely ignoring the "uninvited guests" inside the tower.

Zeus chuckled softly as he watched the chaotic scene on the screen, while Metatron put away his terminal beside him.

"This has saved us a lot of trouble. Now we can go see that 'Central Body 001' with peace of mind."

The three of them didn't linger and quickly walked towards the incubation chamber.

Unlike the layers upon layers of defenses on the outside of the tower, the layout inside is surprisingly simple and clear.

Clearly, Grammer focused all his energy on external defenses, believing that as long as the outside of the tower was secured, there was no need for complex internal design.

Looking around, there were only a few small storage rooms and monitoring rooms on both sides of the corridor. Only the large room at the end of the corridor, which occupied half a floor, was particularly eye-catching. The metal sign outside the room clearly read "Central Body Cultivation Area 001". Several thick energy pipelines were connected to the door, and light green liquid flowed inside the pipelines.

"This is it."

Zeus's gaze fell on the heavy alloy door, his tone resolute. No further investigation was needed; judging solely from the room's size, the distinctive markings, and the energy fluctuations, the Central Body 001, Titania, was undoubtedly within.

Zeus stepped forward and scanned the door lock with his terminal. Soon, a soft "unlocked successfully" sound came from the door. The alloy door slowly opened to both sides, revealing the cultivation chamber suspended in the nutrient solution and the central body of the cultivation chamber, 001 Titania.

Zeus looked up and his gaze fell on the incubation chamber. In the pale green nutrient solution, Titania's long silver hair floated gently with the liquid, and her silver-gray pupils were looking towards the door. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Almost at the same time, Titania also saw the figure at the door.

Zeus stood at the boundary between light and shadow, his gaze piercing through the bulkhead and the nutrient solution, meeting her eyes directly.

The previously faint attraction suddenly became clear and intense the moment their eyes met, like a stream flowing into the sea, creating subtle ripples in Titania's consciousness.

The two stared at each other silently, as if the air in the room had stopped moving.

Chapter 283 I am Queen Grammer

The nutrient solution in the incubation chamber was slowly drawn out along the guide channel on the chamber wall. The pale green liquid gathered into a thin stream on the ground and was eventually sucked away by the recycling device in the corner.

The transparent hatch rose with a deafening depressurization sound, and the remaining mist inside the cabin slowly dissipated, revealing Titania's figure.

She landed barefoot on the white mat that had been laid out beforehand, her long, wet silver hair hanging down her shoulders, the water droplets clinging to the ends of her hair sliding down her clothes like the bright moonlight falling to earth.

Zeus stood beside the cabin, handing Titania, who was completely naked, a magnificent robe that had been prepared beforehand.

The moment Titania tightened her clothes, she subconsciously took half a step closer to him, her shoulder almost touching Zeus's arm.

An instinctive closeness stemming from gravitational resonance, like vines in the cold night seeking warmth, and Zeus was that warm sun in the cold winter, making the newborn Titania unable to resist getting close.

Her silver-gray eyes swept over the monitoring equipment in the room before finally settling on Zeus. The confusion she felt upon waking completely vanished, leaving only clear trust, as if she could go anywhere without worry as long as she followed this man.

"Let's go."

Zeus's voice was soft, yet carried a reassuring power. Titania nodded and took the lead towards the door.

Behind her, Zeus, Metatron, and Saillou tacitly donned dark robes, their hoods obscuring most of their faces.

Zeus and his two companions tried their best to prevent their information from being left in this era, which naturally included their appearance.

The chaos had not yet subsided in the plaza outside the central tower.

The Grammer high command was arguing incessantly around the defense control console. Some pointed anxiously at the alarm data on the screen, while others were quietly scolding their colleagues for accidentally pressing the alarm button. Even the Imperial delegation was left out in the cold.

The commander was frowning as he spoke with his adjutant, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the weapon at his waist. They were already suspicious of Grammer's concealment, and the anomaly in the central tower now raised their vigilance to the highest level.

The mechanical guards around the plaza remained in combat stance, their metal bodies gleaming coldly in the sunlight, their energy weapons pointed towards the tower gate, yet no one dared to make a move.

The commotion in the square abruptly ceased as soon as the silver figure stepped out of the tower gate.

All eyes froze on Titania. She walked at the front, her white robes swaying gently in the wind, her long hair blowing in the breeze.

There were no elaborate decorations or imposing entourage, yet she possessed a calm aura beyond her years, as if she were born to stand at a high place, making everything around her merely a backdrop.

The wind swept through the square, swirling up fallen leaves, but seemed to slow down as it approached her; even the distant clicking of the mechanical guards seemed exceptionally far away.

"Who...is that person?"

The Grammer guard's voice broke the silence first. He pointed at Titania, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, and his face instantly turned from flushed to deathly pale.

He had seen simulated images of Central Body 001 in research reports, but the living, independent entity before him did not overlap at all with the image of "controlled war tools" in the report—the "weapon" they had awakened at the cost of countless resources stood before everyone in such an unfamiliar and majestic manner.

The Imperial Captain's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand on his weapon clenched instantly. He stared intently at Zeus and the other two behind Titania. The hoods of their black robes obscured their faces, but could not conceal the subtle yet palpable sense of oppression emanating from them.

These three strangers who suddenly appeared were clearly closely related to the silver-haired woman in front of them, and the shock and panic on the faces of the Grammer executives showed that even they had not anticipated this turn of events.

"What on earth is Grammer up to?"

He spoke in a low voice to his adjutant, his tone full of vigilance.

"This woman's aura... doesn't seem to belong to an ordinary human."

His silver-gray eyes were completely still, like a bottomless sea, exuding an innate sense of intimidation.

As the Grammer senator looked into Titania's eyes, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his boiling anger was instantly replaced by fear.

That wasn't the gaze a tool should have; it was the gaze of a ruler scrutinizing his subjects, extinguishing even his courage to look up and meet his gaze.

The square fell silent once more, save for the rustling of flags in the wind. The Grammer officials exchanged glances, their faces a mask of shock and panic.

The senator instinctively took a half step back, bumping into the guard behind him without realizing it.

The guard captain reached out to press the communicator, his finger hovering over the button but hesitating to do so.

Even the usually composed Minister of Research stared wide-eyed at Titania, muttering, "Impossible...she shouldn't have self-awareness now...", vehemently denying the reality before him.

Titania withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards the center of the group.

The adjutant of the imperial delegation quietly tugged at the leader's sleeve and whispered.

"Commander, the reaction from the Grammer high command... This woman's identity is not simple. Should we retreat to a safe zone first?"

The captain shook his head, his gaze fixed on Titania's figure, his brows furrowing even more.

“Wait a little longer. Judging from the Grammer people’s expressions, they didn’t expect this either. This woman, and the three people behind her, may be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Grammer.”

Titania stopped in her tracks.

She turned her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the panicked Grammer officials around her, finally settling on Zeus, her eyes carrying a barely perceptible question.

Zeus nodded slightly, saying nothing, but conveying the message "I am here for you" through his eyes. Titania, having received a response, turned back, slowly raising her head, her gaze sweeping across the entire plaza.

Just then, the Imperial Commander finally couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward, and spoke in a loud voice.

"Your Excellency, please forgive my intrusion. We are an Imperial delegation here for diplomatic talks with Grammer. But so far, Grammer has never mentioned your existence. May I ask, who are you? And what is your relationship with Grammer?"

All eyes in the square were once again focused on Titania. The Grammer high command held their breath; some clenched their fists nervously, while others quietly retreated, trying to avoid the impending storm.

Zeus and his two companions remained standing behind Titania, their black robes unmoved. No matter what happened, they would always be her strongest support.

Titania met everyone's gaze, her lips parted slightly, her voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire hall, carrying an undeniable authority.

"I am Queen Titania of Grammer."

Chapter 284 Information

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"what!"

Alicia covered her mouth in surprise.

Are all the Grammer cavalry like you?

"Well, you can't say they're exactly the same, how should I put it?"

Liu Ying pondered for a moment.

"I've got it. We're more like twins, except there are hundreds of trillions of them."

"Trillions!"

"Yes, after all, the Grammer Cavalry Project was initially implemented to combat the True Stinger swarms, which are known throughout the universe for their sheer numbers. The Grammer Cavalry was designed with a similar mechanism to the Fate of Reproduction. After Lord Zeus helped us end the war, the relevant mechanism was shut down."

"Wow, could Zeus handle that? Could he even spare the time?"

One bombshell after another left Alicia speechless with delight.

Mebius, who was standing nearby, was also intrigued by the reproductive mechanism mentioned in Liu Ying's words, and turned his gaze to the group of people who were having a conversation.

"In Grammer, everything is shared between the Queen and us. We can feel the heat when Zeus kisses the Queen, and the Queen can share the joy when we are intimate with Zeus."

"Hmm? Compared to reproduction, it tends to be more harmonious in its operating mechanism? No wonder that funeral director said his fate loop was incomplete."

Grammers had almost no connection with their family or Hipes throughout their lives. In this context, the most likely reason for the Grammers' harmonious and imaginative cavalry is Zeus, the "outsider" to Grammers.

"However, according to the company's records, Grammer was not initially in the form of an Empire. After the company's senior management handed Grammer some data and information about the breeding mechanism and a plan that was still in the experimental stage, they lost contact with Grammer due to the barrier of the swarm."

"The data and technology from the company were the prototype of the Grammer Riders project."

The most crucial technology, besides utilizing the mechanisms of reproduction, was the "entropy syndrome" used to counter the out-of-control cavalry. Of course, this knowledge wasn't only used in the Grammer Cavalry Project; it also played a significant role in other areas.

Liu Ying briefly enumerated some of the applications of reproductive mechanisms in the Grammer Empire later on.

One of them fits perfectly with Möbius's current research.

"What is the mechanism of reproduction? Tell me quickly!"

Mebius appeared behind Liu Ying without her noticing, breathing hot air and looking at her with longing in her eyes; she was practically a lovesick woman.

"I don't remember that either. After leaving Grammer, my database was disconnected from the Empire, and the reproductive mechanism was not stored in my local independent server when I left."

Upon hearing Firefly's answer, Mebius deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Don't be discouraged, Mebius. No one in the world can compare to you when it comes to understanding the mechanisms of reproduction. When he comes back, you can ask him whatever you want."

Mebius curled his lip.

That's one way of putting it.

"But I'll probably end up getting myself into trouble then," Mebius thought to himself.

......

The Supreme Command Center of the King of Space.

A massive holographic star map floated in the center of the command hall, with countless points of light representing starships and outposts flashing regularly, outlining the defensive network of the empire's territory.

This is the core of the Star Sea Defense Line, where every piece of data is related to the safety of billions of lives. But now, the usual tranquility has been broken by an encrypted report from the ruins.

On the command console, the commander-in-chief's fingertip hovered over the edge of the star map, his gaze fixed on the suddenly lit red marker.

That's the exclusive identifier for "highest priority," and the entire command receives no more than three such reports per quarter.

"Terran...True Stinger..."

The commander-in-chief slowly read out the key words from the briefing, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

The combat staff behind him gathered around, their eyes fixed on the images of the insectoid swarms fighting on the screen: in the images, the Tyranids' signature claws tore apart the unfamiliar arthropods, while those creatures known as "True Stingers" multiplied at an astonishing rate, and purplish-red growths writhed at the junction of the two severed limbs.

There are no records of 'true stinging insects' in the database.
