Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Adam grabbed the Zerg female warrior by the neck with one hand and lifted her high off the ground.

"Uh—cough...uh..." The Zerg female warrior possessed the strength of a first-level Soul Emperor, yet she was completely powerless to resist at this moment.

Her soul power erupted wildly, forming intense energy ripples as she tried to struggle, but it all seemed futile and laughable.

Adam's arm remained as steady as a rock, without even the slightest tremor.

“Heh…” Adam’s lips curled into a cold and cruel smile, his silver-gray pupils reflecting the dying look of his prey.

The next moment, the muscles in his thick arms suddenly bulged and tightened!

"Crack——!"

He easily snapped the Zerg female warrior's neck!

"boom!"

Even the surging soul power around her burst like a punctured balloon, collapsing with a roar! It turned into countless specks of light and vanished into the air!

Adam smiled dismissively: "I'd heard that Zerg warriors weren't very strong individually, but I didn't expect them to be this weak."

"Asshole!!"

The eyes of the Dream Butterfly were instantly ignited by a raging fire!

Those once dreamy and enchanting eyes now seemed to be burning with seven-colored flames, and the icy killing intent, like a tangible cold wave, suddenly spread out from her center!

"Empress of Dreams, please calm down." Karl's voice rang out at the right time, his tone still maintaining that annoyingly politeness and courtesy, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. "The decision to withdraw troops concerns the company's major plans and the future of the Zerg. I hope you can reconsider it carefully. I am doing this for your sake."

"..."

The Dream Butterfly remained silent. She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, forcibly suppressing the rage that was about to erupt from her heart.

Silence spread across the cold mountaintop, with only the faint sounds of fighting in the distance serving as background noise.

After a few breaths, she slowly raised her head. The anger in her eyes did not subside; instead, it settled into a colder and sharper glint!

She stared coldly at Carl and the mysterious Adam beside him.

Immediately afterwards——

"boom!!!!!"

A vast and terrifying soul force, powerful enough to change the very fabric of the world, erupted from within the delicate body of the Dream Butterfly without reservation!

She transformed directly from her half-human form into the Zerg Empress's true form! The pair of magnificent, seven-colored butterfly wings on her back suddenly unfolded completely, with a wingspan exceeding ten meters in an instant!

Her butterfly wings shimmered with iridescent light, bursting forth with a dazzling brilliance that was impossible to look directly at! Seven-colored radiance flowed, intertwined, and rose around her as if they were alive, making her appear like a dreamlike goddess descended to earth!

The pressure from the peak Soul Emperor realm was like a tangible tsunami. The air hummed under the immense pressure, and tiny pebbles floated up as if defying gravity. The space itself seemed to distort and ripple slightly under the dual impact of this powerful spirit and energy.

In an instant, the dozen or so demi-human warriors behind Karl were all trapped in the illusion. Their pupils suddenly lost focus, their eyes became completely unfocused, as if their souls had been instantly ripped away. They stood frozen in place, motionless, clearly having completely lost their fighting ability.

Adam and Karl were also pulled into a dreamlike scene by the seven-colored illusion.

In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a colorful, boundless sea of ​​flowers and grassland.

A warm, gentle breeze caressed my cheek, carrying a refreshing fragrance. Countless petals, shimmering with a dreamlike glow, danced in the air, with butterflies flitting among them.

Adam's silver-gray pupils shifted slightly as he surveyed the surrounding scene, a look of keen interest on his face: "Oh... so this is the legendary 'Seven-Colored Dream' illusion of the Zerg Empress, the number one illusionist among all races? It seems to be somewhat interesting now."

Karl glanced at him and said leisurely, "You'd better not be too careless. In terms of illusion magic alone, the Dream Empress's mental strength may already be close to the level of a demigod."

Upon hearing this, Adam's expression became even more amused: "Then I really need to see for myself."

The Dream Butterfly was currently suspended in mid-air, with her back to the gradually setting sun. Her dazzling wings filtered and refracted the sunlight into an even more mesmerizing seven-colored halo, enveloping her entire figure in a sacred yet dangerous light and shadow, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at her.

Her icy gaze pierced the boundary between illusion and reality, locking firmly onto the two figures within the illusion. Her clear, murderous voice, like the tolling of a judgment bell, echoed through the sea of ​​flowers and the mountain peaks.

"Today, I will make you sleep forever in this dream world, until death, never to awaken!"

......

"kill--!!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the Crimson Plains, lured by the Golden Queen Mother, the Allied Forces and the Zerg army engaged in bloody and brutal battles on several battlefields.

"Soul Skill - Thousand Wind Burial!"

Fengshangbo hovered in the air, gathering and guiding the raging air currents, creating a super-fast rotating "eye of the storm" at the center of the densest areas of the insect swarm.

The air emitted a piercing, high-frequency buzzing sound.

Several high-speed, oppositely rotating "spiral air blade rings" with edges as sharp as molecular-level blades form around the eye of the storm. The Zerg drawn in are cut and pulverized by these high-speed rotating air blade rings, like being thrown into a meat grinder!

The resilient wings, limbs, and carapace were easily torn apart and pulverized like a hot knife through butter by the molecular-level airflow, comparable to divine blades! Blue-black insect blood and fragments exploded around the air blade rings, forming a blood mist! Those locusts that managed to pass through the first air blade ring immediately crashed into the second and third rings, rotating in opposite directions! They were repeatedly torn and ground by terrifying cutting forces from different directions!

"Soul Skill - Bone-Corroding Water Mist Technique!"

Shui Tianhua clasped his hands together, leaned back and took a deep breath of the cold water, then exhaled it forcefully forward!

"call--!"

A thick, viscous, eerily milky-white mist, as if it possessed a life of its own, rapidly spread and expanded forward, instantly enveloping the entire forest clearing and engulfing the countless Zerg vanguards who were roaring and charging.

At first, the swarm of insects seemed oblivious, continuing to hiss and advance into the seemingly harmless mist.

But soon, one of the charging spiky insects suddenly froze and let out a shrill, distorted scream!

Sharp, gleaming grayish-white crystals were growing at a visible rate from the crevices of its carapace, its mouthparts, and its compound eyes! These crystals pierced its skin, exposing it to the air along with viscous bodily fluids. Immediately afterward, more insectoids began to writhe and convulse in agony.

The moisture in their bodies seemed to be instantly drained by an invisible force; their carapaces lost their luster and became dry and shrunken at an alarming rate, and their internal organs melted into a murky liquid, flowing out from their mouthparts, joints, and other parts...

In just a dozen breaths, the area shrouded in cold mist was reduced to a ground covered with distorted, shriveled, and stiff insectoid corpses!
