Chapter 672: Massacre and Reunion
Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
The almost naked threat from the Atlanteans completely wiped out the last fluke in Franciscos heart.
He became silent for a few seconds with a grave expression and hissed, Captain Alansol, youll pay a heavy price for todays irrational behavior one day, and I believe that day will not be too far!
Then, he ordered the warship under his command to fly towards the dark channel that cracked at the bottom of the Atlantis flagship that was as huge as a city, commanded by the alien captain.
A few minutes later, the Earths spacecraft stopped steadily at the bottom deck of the alien battleship. Very soon, the Earthlings, who enjoyed the name ally but were actually more equivalent to being captured, were sent away from their spacecraft.
The US soldiers walked down the escalator in annoyance one by one while Alansol watched sharply at each of the faces carefully with an unconcealable nervousness. It was until the casual-dressed Zhang Lisheng had appeared at the very last moment in a blank expression that he finally relaxed and quietly relieved.
At the same time, Francisco, who knew nothing about the hidden agenda and did not realize the unusual look on the Atlantean commanders face, walked up to Alansol in an icy cold front, Captain Alansol, everyone has left the ship. You can now send someone on board to search for the so-called confidential document. If you cant find anything
Of course I will, Captain Francisco. In fact, I have already seen the confidential document, Alansols sketch-like face suddenly showed a charming smile as he interrupted the Earthling officer.
W-What did you say? Francisco was stunned. He looked at the Atlantean beside him with a startled expression. Then, he saw Alansol shaking his head to himself in an apologetic manner, Im sorry, for the sake of Atlantis and the peace of the Earth, I had to do this
Then, he was burned into ashes by a hot white flame.
The surrounding US army witnessed the alien captain incinerate their commander with no warning. Before they could realize what was going on, they were all burned to death by the other Atlantean fighters as well in unison. In a short span of two to three seconds, other than the aliens, only Zhang Lisheng alone was left standing on the deck.
Staring at the black-haired frowning young man not far away, Alansol retrieved the light stone in his palm back into his body and nodded in greeting, Dr. Lisheng, although the process is regrettable and consumes a lot of valuable pawns, its nice to meet you once again.
Im sorry Captain Alansol, Im not happy to see you again, Zhang Lisheng shrugged nonchalantly as his frown eased away and asked with interest, The only thing Im interested in now is, is the pawn that you said Sergeant Anton Nichols who liked rugby?
Youve guessed correctly, Doctor Sometimes, a nobody can be instrumental too. However, a nobody is still a nobody, so its not the time to pay any attention to him, Alansol was somewhat surprised at the calm behavior of the prey. He frowned and slowly walked up to the young man. We still have to think about the problem concerning the safety of the entire universe, dont we?
Problem concerning the safety of the universe? Looking at the alien captain walking towards him step by step, Zhang Lisheng showed a predatory smirk on the corner of his mouth, no longer having scruples over anything. Ive indeed been thinking about this problem recently. It is a pity that the person whos qualified to ponder this question with me is not you. Unfortunately, I just came across a thing that almost pushed me over the edge. I was originally trying to suppress my emotions, but youve once again left me no choice
Then, he reached his hand to the waist belt.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded on the ships side above the deck. Thats enough, Captain Alansol, your task is just to invite Dr. Zhang Lisheng to board the battleship. As for the subsequent inquiries, it should be us who would do it.
A familiar female voice resonated in his ear, causing Zhang Lisheng, who had been looking extremely calm after stepping on the deck of the alien battleship, to stiffen unconsciously right away.
His footsteps came to a halt as he looked up in astonishment at the direction of the sound. A young woman who had a particular outstanding look among the Atlanteans who were well-known for their excellent looks hurriedly walked down towards himself along with the steps of the ramp together with several people who possessed the same qualities and bearings.
T-Trish, your hair is long now. Er No, w-why are you here? Staring at the beautiful woman with long wavy hair whose forehead was tied with a green ribbon, the young man was stunned with his mouth agape for a while before saying incoherently.
I cant believe your first question is about my hair, The young woman went straight to Zhang Lisheng. Tears gradually brimmed in her eyes as she raised her hand to stroke her lovers face. With a tiptoe, she kissed him gently and said softly with a smile, You still havent changed, Lisheng. Youll become that sometimes smart, sometimes silly cute boy when you see us.
Ha! I dont think Ill ever change in terms of this. Regardless of strength, power, or status, a wise creature would always be dominated by its emotions, Sensing the lingering tenderness on his lips, the Wizard Li Worlds overlord returned to his senses and muttered with a bitter smile. Then, he shook his head hard and raised his voice to ask again, Trish, answer my second question, what are you doing on an Atlantean spaceship?
Its because I now have a second identity, the descendant of the Atlantis Bennett family and the fifth secretary of the Supreme Regime Senates Elder Holwagner, baby, just like your identity of the guardian spiritual monster of the World 3009s natives, Trish smiled.
The descendant of the Atlantis Bennett family? The fifth secretary of the Supreme Regime Senates Elder Holwagner? Zhang Lisheng was stunned for quite some time again as the answer that the girl told him slowly sank. In disbelief, he said, Youve actually found your ancestor pedigree of the ancient times, and youve also become the secretary of the aliens founding father?
The young man had long learned about the situation of the Atlantis civilization through various channels, so he knew that this powerful civilization that claimed to rule 32 planets actually only mastered nine planets that contained oxygen. In comparison, the remaining 23 planets were merely being conquered for the purpose of plundering resources. In these 23 planets, the original civilization had not gone extinct, and large-scale riots would occur from time to time.
The planets that were ruled entirely by Atlantis among the nine planets were called the core planet, each of the planets was led by a relatively independent government that also had different legal systems subject to a unified charter. The planets that were conquered, on the other hand, were known as resource planets, they were managed by the colonial government.
Be it the core planets or the colonized planets, both were subject to the rule of the so-called Supreme Regime. Such a government was similar to the government of the time when the United States had just become independent.
The Atlantean Supreme Regime was made up of three aspectsThe Senate that had the power to interpret the fundamental charter and the power of the highest judicial decision; The House of Representatives, which had direct jurisdiction over all military affairs and had the highest jurisdiction over major political affairs; and the House of Wisdom, which had no nominal power but was the spirit reliance of all Atlantis.
As one of the essential components of the highest power, the Elder of the Senate had a very high status in the Atlantis civilization, and the position of the secretary that would assist him in exercising his rights was a position that even a usual elite Atlantean would not quickly get, let alone a young woman of earthly origin.
Trish understood the black-haired young mans bafflement, so she explained, Lisheng, even Earth has mastered the technology of genetic verification now, let alone Atlantis. Besides, Atlantis is considered a semi-supernatural civilization. When it was just established, it attached great importance to the inheritance of good family lineages. No matter how far the bloodline is passed down, as long as the person involved is willing to trace back his roots, then he would trace it back easily. As for how I can become Elder Holwagners secretary, its because the Elders wife is also from the Bennett family as I do. Although the Bennett family has many descendants in the past 100 years, those who can produce high-level light stones are very rare. Its because of this that I naturally attracted Madam Holwagners attention
Youre not a soldier, so why will your ability to produce high-level light stones attract peoples attention? Dont tell me that even a secretary needs to be on the battlefield? Zhang Lisheng interrupted the girl with concern.
Of course I dont have to, baby, Trish could not help but smile sweetly when she heard the concern that came naturally from her lover.
Whats the use of producing high-level light stones if you dont go to the battlefield?
Its really not very useful, but its just like how the whites were nobler than the blacks during the apartheid in the United States; or how the blond, blue-eyed Aryans were regarded as humans hope by the German while the equally smart and wise Jews were killed to be made into soap and blanket during the world war two. Although theres no proper reason, in the traditional culture of the Atlantis civilization, those who can produce high-level light stones in the body are naturally very, very noble.
Oh, is that so? Looks like the flow of time wont make an intelligent creature smarter. Oh yeah, I should have guessed that these aliens are not much better than the Earthlings when I first learned about the political structure of Atlantis, Upon hearing the girls answer, the young man curled his lips and finally asked, But why would you suddenly turn 180 degrees like this and trace back your Atlantean ancestor?
Because I cant keep suppressing my love for you! Lisheng, you dont know how much, just absolutely how much, I love you! I cant give up on you! Trish lowered her head for a moment in silence before raising her head to whisper in Zhang Lishengs ears in a voice that was so faint that it could barely be perceived, And I dont want to be a worthless vine that can only attach on you. Connecting to Atlantis is my only option
