[Refuse Master? What a joke!] Just the thought of it sent chills down Golden Monkey’s spine.

Though he had rarely seen Yu Zi Yu angry, imagining it was enough to strike fear in him.

Given Yu Zi Yu’s current strength, if he got truly enraged, the stars could shatter, and galaxies would tremble—that was not an exaggeration.

This was the might of Tier-6 Transcendent, the end of the individual evolution, the terror of a perfect life form.

Right at this moment…

A sudden yet thunderous Dragon Roar echoed through the starry sky, prompting Golden Monkey to look towards the source, where he saw a distant corner of space ripped apart, revealing a massive red vortex.

And from the end of the red vortex, he saw a towering figure with flowing red hair emerging.

It was the Dai Er, who had recently signed a Master-Servant Contract with Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form.

Sensing a sudden call within her heart, she emerged from the Realm of Fire.

“Master.” Her voice reverberated through the vast space, and as her gaze fell upon the distant figure, a smile spread across her face.

In an instant, flames erupted beneath her feet with a deafening roar, engulfing her entire being. At the same time, her Humanoid form began to shift—her body expanding, elongating.

*Rooooooar!* An earth-shaking Dragon Roar echoed through the starry sky as Dai Er transformed back into her colossal, thousands-of-meters-long true form.

Her entire body was cloaked in Eternal Dragon Flames, and her golden eyes shimmered with both regal majesty and the soft tenderness of a woman.

With a powerful flap of her immense wings, she arrived under the feet of Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form, leaving a blazing sea of fire in her wake that seemed to split the starry sky in two.

“Let’s go.” Yu Zi Yu’s voice rang out with a light chuckle, to which Dai Er responded with a nod of agreement.

Without delay, Spiritual Energy surged around her with a deafening roar, before she shot straight into the depths of the starry sky, carrying Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form.

Her speed was extremely terrifying, so much so that even Ling Er, Golden Monkey, and Nine Tails could not help but feel a tremor in their hearts witnessing it.

“No wonder the Dragon Clan is legendary. This speed is truly remarkable,” Golden Monkey calmly complimented, realizing that the situation was now under control.

[Now that Master has decided to personally step in, everything is close to being settled. All that was left is to wait for the final subjugation and plan the next steps.]

…

Meanwhile, in a distant corner of the starry sky…

Three dark stars, arranged in a triangular pattern, quietly rotated.

This was a Hive, also one of the five the largest Hives of the Cosmic Zergs.

To put it simply, this Hive was a Tier-5 ‘True God-level’ Hive, powerful enough to hunt even Star Domain-level forces.

Its swarm numbered in the tens of billions, with countless powerful Zergs, including Tier-5 Zergs.

And now…

*Screeeeeech, screeeeeech!* Sudden, sharp screeches shook the three dark stars.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

An endless, vast black tide surged from one of the dark stars, as if a colossal wave was rising.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that a wave formed by countless Zergs; it was a massive swarm of Zerg.

This time, the Hive Mind was truly enraged. A full third of its forces were mobilized.

To put it into perspective, during the war against the Titan Star Domain, the Hive Mind had only mobilized a tenth of its forces for guerrilla warfare.

But now, it had deployed a third of its forces at once—over three billion Zergs.

*Screeeeeeech, screeeeeeech…* Amidst the sharp and terrifying screeches, the swarm of Zergs, resembling a massive black tide, surged toward a corner of the starry sky, devastating everything in their wake.

Even the so-called moons and planets were riddled with holes in an instant.

In addition to hunting, some of the Zergs also possessed the ability to mine metals.

Before this endless army, even planets and moons could not withstand more than a few breaths.

At this moment, if one were to look closely at one of the three dark stars, they would surely notice that it was riddled with countless black holes, resembling a beehive.

This is the true nature of the dark star.

A ‘Hive’ as large as a star—the home of the Zergs.

The reason why the Zergs were so terrifying lay in this very fact.

These Zergs, aside from battle, spend the rest of their time in the Hive, sleeping.

“Uh….” No wonder Little Tenth and Golden Monkey looked so grim upon detecting these creatures. Faced with a race that had taken the art of war to its pinnacle, even the average person would feel their scalp tingle with fear.

But at this moment—

*Thud…* With a heavy thud, as if a heavy foot had landed on the star, the star riddled with black holes trembled violently.

Immediately afterward, the entire star flickered on and off, as if in fear.

“My children, go… hunt them.”

“Yes, Mother.” A cold voice echoed through the depths of the starry sky.

Following the voice, one could see a strange creature emerging from the star filled with holes.

This was a Humanoid creature, not very tall, just over two meters.

Yet it was terrifying.

It had a long, pointed head resembling a Human skull, but the back of the head was elongated by about half a meter, and radiated a metallic, pitch-black sheen.

However, it had no eyes, only two empty hollows.

Its mouth was ghastly, occasionally dripping green liquid.

But that was not all.

Looking behind it, there was a sharp, serrated, hooked tail, extending two meters long, gently swaying.

This was a King Zerg—a pinnacle product of Zerg evolution.

It possessed intelligence and, to some extent, could even defy the mighty Hive Mind.

But that was not the scariest part.

The truly terrifying aspect was that King Zerg represented the ultimate evolution of the solitary Zergs.

It was also one of the few species with the potential to reach Tier-6.

And now, such a Tier-5 King Zerg had emerged from the dark star.

Its purpose, naturally, was clear.

As a Hive capable of contending with top-tier forces like the Titan Star Domain, it had faced a setback in this remote Star Domain.

This had completely enraged the Hive Mind.

For this reason, it not only deployed a third of its forces but also awakened the legendary King Zerg—the ultimate hunter, a monster among monsters.

However, if Yu Zi Yu were here at this moment, upon seeing this King Zerg, he would likely be left speechless.

Because the appearance of this King Zerg bore a striking resemblance to the ‘graceful, dark, and perfect’ Xenomorph he knew, with about a 70-80% similarity.

But compared to the Xenomorph, this creature was surrounded by countless black streams of energy, like the wails of vengeful spirits, making it all the more horrifying.
