Chapter 615: Emperor Ming Awakens!
Suddenly, the air in the room seed to freeze.
The smile on Les's face vanished, and his icy eyes locked onto Su Chen, as if he were ready to strike at any mont.
Su Yi stood by Su Chen's side, Soulpower ready to erupt at a mont's notice. If Les made even the slightest move, he would turn Les into a puppet.
"So, you're confident enough to resolve this with a little trip outside?" Les spoke in a calm tone.
To be honest, Su Chen was brimming with confidence at the mont, and it stemd from his recent acquisition of the Cosmic Behemoth Spectral Moth.
This Cosmic Behemoth fed on the consciousness of intelligent lifeforms. Even the nearly invincible Matricide Beetle had been consud by the Spectral Moth in just a month. So, devouring Les's consciousness shouldn't be a problem.
"Les, this is your last chance. If you willingly leave my brother's body, I can let you continue to exist, provide you with a cloned body. But if you refuse..."
Before Su Chen could finish, Les decisively interjected, "I agree."
"Hmm?" Su Chen was slightly taken aback. He had expected Les to resist, but he never thought Les would agree so easily. It left him sowhat incredulous.
But both his Psychicpower and Su Yi's Soulpower assured him that Les was speaking the truth; he had genuinely surrendered.
Regardless, Su Chen now had a way to control Les. Whatever sches Les might have were now rendered useless.
"Yun Ru, create a Clone."
"I want to customize my own appearance," Les exclaid.
Customizing the Clone's appearance was child's play for Yun Ru. She proceeded to craft an entirely new cloned body according to Les's specifications.
After a few minutes, Yun Ru returned, saying, "The body is ready."
"Let your consciousness co out."
"No, I want to transfer my consciousness directly to the Clone."
In reality, Les was concerned that Su Chen might deceive him. Once he lost his physical body and was left with only consciousness, many of his abilities would beco useless, and he would be at the rcy of others.
Su Chen naturally shared this concern and agreed to this small request.
The group arrived at a laboratory where a giant tank was filled with green liquid, and a male body floated inside, entirely customized to Les's specifications.
"Not bad, it resembles
from half a lifeti ago," Les comnted.
Su Chen grinned. The male figure in the tank looked rather exotic, almost feminine. Did that an Les used to look like this?
Before anyone could react, Zhu Hui's body suddenly lost power, collapsing to the ground. An invisible light orb appeared in mid-air and swiftly entered the male body inside the tank.
In the next mont, the male's eyes snapped open, a hint of purple light shining in them, giving them an eerie appearance.
Crack!
The next second, the tank shattered, and Les walked out from within.
"Tsk tsk, the body of a clone is really fragile. Just a bit of power usage caused damage," Les remarked, sporting so minor wounds on his body.
After all, this Clone had only existed for a few minutes from its creation until now. Les was able to control it directly without any sense of stiffness, purely because of the overwhelming strength of his consciousness.
Su Chen paid no attention to Les; his gaze was fixed on Zhu Hui's body.
"Commander, Emperor Ming's body is mostly unhard. He was just suppressed by another consciousness for an extended period, controlling his body, resulting in temporary unconsciousness. He should recover in a while," Yun Ru examined and reported.
Su Chen nodded and had Zhu Hui's body taken out imdiately. Then, he turned his attention to Les.
With ordinary enemies, Su Chen would find a way to eliminate them. However, Les was a mber of the Protoss, and Su Chen's knowledge of the Protoss was limited. Les was his only source of information.
In other words, Su Chen was reluctant to kill Les.
He had two ans of completely restraining Les: Su Yi and the Spectral Moth.
"Les, I can offer you two choices. First, continue the previous arrangent, with Su Yi watching over you. You can exchange Protoss technology or so secrets about the Protoss for certain benefits. Second, beco my subordinate and work for , just like Yuan Yizhong."
Les didn't know that one of these choices was a trap. If he agreed to serve Su Chen, even for an instant, he would be marked by the System as an ally. The first choice, on the other hand, Les had been enduring for several months, thanks to Su Yi's watchful eye. Otherwise, he would have been out and about by now.
Instinctively, Les was inclined to choose the second option. But suddenly, he felt sothing was amiss.
As a Protoss, they tended to prefer going solo, so he approached everything with a hint of suspicion.
Both choices seed fine on the surface, but why was the second one added?
Les suspected that there might be a trap involved, like forcing him into life-threatening situations once he beca a subordinate. Once he lost his body and had only consciousness left, would Su Chen have the upper hand? Unbeknownst to him, without the knowledge of the System's existence, he couldn't fathom the alternative thod Su Chen was employing.
"I choose the first one. I'm quite content with my life as a hobody," Les said proudly, his head held high.
Su Chen remained composed outwardly, but inside, he couldn't help but sigh at Les's cautiousness.
It was Les's own choice, and Su Chen promptly let him return to his previous arrangent with Yuan Yizhong. He believed that with Yuan Yizhong, a Spy, around, it was only a matter of ti before Les's secrets were uncovered.
Not long after, a Red Alert soldier reported, "Commander, Emperor Ming has awakened."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen imdiately headed to a room, which was lavishly decorated, comparable to a five-star hotel, reserved for special guests.
Emperor Ming sat at the edge of the bed, looking sowhat bewildered.
"How are you feeling, Elder Brother?" Su Chen approached.
Emperor Ming looked at Su Chen, puzzled. "Little Brother? Is this your Red Alert Base?"
Everything seed so strange to Emperor Ming. He vividly rembered competing for the position of Ancient Relic Master in the ancient ruins. Why did he wake up here?
At this mont, Emperor Ming still had no idea that several months had passed.
"Do you feel any discomfort?"
Among all the Human Emperors, Su Chen had the closest relationship with Zhu Hui. Zhu Hui's character earned Su Chen's admiration. He was a true Human Emperor!
"I'm a bit dizzy, but by the way, how did things turn out? Who beca the Master of the ancient relic?" Zhu Hui asked eagerly.
"Elder Brother, it has been over four months since the ancient relic erged," Su Chen said with a serious expression. (To be continued...)
