vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

"How's the battle going at Liumeng Reef? Why are you the only one back? Where's Huang Quan?"

Following Sunday to the lobby of Chaolu Mansion, Jeremy did not see the purple figure with a long sword at his waist.

If he remembered correctly, Huang Quan should have entered Liumeng Reef with Sunday before.

Jeremy didn't think that Huang Quan would fall under the attack of the Liumeng Reef insect swarm. After all, although the insect did have the power of a commander, its combat effectiveness was not that strong among the commanders.

Even he could team up with Xing and Liuying to kill it once. For Huang Quan, a real stinging insect with that kind of combat power would probably be just a few kills away.

The more likely scenario is that the swarm of insects in Liumeng Reef used the immortality brought by breeding the remains to drag the situation into a protracted war.

After all, Jeremy saw with his own eyes how the insect that he had cut in half split into two in just a few breaths.

I don’t know how long I was unconscious, or what the battle situation in Huangquan was like.

"You should know better than me how the battle will develop."

Leading Jeremy to the sand table that almost occupied the entire center of the hall, Sunday did not try to be tactful for the sake of courtesy as usual, but went straight to the point.

"I used decrees to build a barrier and seal the insect swarm within Liumeng Reef, but such broad decrees are difficult to be effective against the order wielders."

Although its combat capability was criticized by Jeremy, after losing the insect crystal of the God Rhinoceros Beetle, the bombardment of the insect could not even cause Jeremy more serious injuries, but only destroyed the barrier he built with double-layer cornerstones.

But no matter what, he is a messenger, and with the support of his fertilized body, he is even more difficult to deal with in terms of immortality.

Even if it is cut in half by the Holy Sword of the King, it can become two complete bodies in an instant.

"In other words, Huang Quan chose to stay there and suppress the bug, right?"

Although the full details of the battle were not revealed on Sunday, Jeremy probably understood what had happened after he fell into a coma.

Without further use of the power of command, the laws issued by Sunday cannot affect the command insect, but if all his strength is used to suppress the insect, then the swarm of insects in the sky will be unstoppable.

After all, although Huang Quan is ridiculously strong, he is actually not good at this kind of stand-alone fighting style.

Even if she could kill 90% of the insect swarm, as long as the remaining 10% poured into other dreams, it would pose an unimaginable threat to Pinocchio and the tourists there.

"That's right. That Void Walker single-handedly suppressed the True Stinging Insect Envoy sitting on the remains of the breeding brood. She even attempted to annihilate it with the power of nothingness. But unfortunately, that Envoy-level True Stinging Insect didn't seem to be the core of the insect swarm. Even if she completely annihilated it, it wouldn't be long before a new identical insect would be born in the vast void high above the sky of Liumeng Reef."

Recalling the previous battle in Liumeng Reef, Sunday frowned rarely. He did not expect things to become so difficult.

He had also tried to enter the large cavity where the swarm of insects was bred.

But unfortunately, compared to the insect of the Commander wandering in Liumeng Reef, the big hole seems to be the real core of the insect swarm. Even Sunday, who has accepted the possession of the Commander, finds it difficult to go deep into it.

Sunday speculated that the so-called remains of the Star God might be hidden in that hole.

"I hope you can enter that cavity. I've heard from Huang Quan about your special physique. If you're the one, that large cavity hiding the remains of the breeding colony might not reject you... Go deep inside and extract the true core of the insect swarm. Only then will I have a chance to completely eradicate that insect nest from Pinoconi."

Looking at Jeremy standing in front of him, Sunday slowly lowered his head and his tone became much more humble.

He knew very well that this request was unreasonable and was tantamount to asking Jerami, who was already a target of the Zerg, to die.

Even he, who had obtained the power of the Commander, found it difficult to penetrate deeper due to the double obstacles of the insect swarm's obstruction and the rejection of the Great Void.

Even though the Big Void will not reject Jeramy due to his special physique, there are still countless swarms of insects that want to devour Jeramy.

According to common sense, Jerami, who is regarded as an important target by the Zerg, is the one who needs protection the most. If he is really devoured by the Zerg, perhaps the already sluggish universal insect plague will rise again with the Asdena galaxy as its starting point.

If there is an absolutely fair scale in the world that can measure value.

At this moment, the weight of Jeremy might be heavier than the entire Pinocchio.

Protect Jeramy and prevent him from coming into contact with anything related to the True Stinging Insects. Then gather all the Messengers that can be summoned in Pinoconi, and use the absolute advantage in numbers and strength to clear out the Dream Reef occupied by the insect swarm. After completely suppressing the Messengers, slowly try to deconstruct the large cavity and take out the remains of [Breeding].

From an absolute rational point of view, the above plan is the safest method. Even from the perspective of the entire universe, even at the cost of the entire Pinocchio, Jeramy should not be exposed to any danger related to the Zerg.

Even more extreme, sealing and protecting Jerami in a place where the real stinging insects can never find him is actually a protection for both him and the universe.

But if this happens, not only will the Harmony Festival be ruined, but Pinocchio's reputation will also plummet because of the fact that it is home to the nest of true stinging insects, and the reputation of the dreamland will no longer exist.

Sunday has always believed that he can give everything to establish the kingdom of God on earth. For this reason, he has always upheld absolute fairness and justice. Even when listening to the confession of a stowaway, he will not be biased because of the other party's past crimes. In addition to ensuring appropriate punishment, he will also be as tolerant as possible.

He thought that he had already prepared everything, transformed into a fair scale, and used absolutely fair and objective laws to create the kingdom of God on earth that would eliminate all suffering.

Even when performing the séance of Dominic the Choir, he had already added his own tuning, gaining order in harmony.

But now, when he really needed to put Pinocchio on the scale and make a decision, he found that he was still reluctant to do so.

I can't bear to part with this sandbox that I have been building since I was a child. Even though there are still many loopholes that have not been filled to this day, it makes me feel very gratified.

I can't bear to leave this mansion where my sister and I have so many memories, nor can I bear to leave the study where I once immersed myself in absorbing knowledge day and night.

Fantasy is always beautiful, but when Sunday took the first step into practice, he truly realized his own immaturity and naivety.

"I know this is asking too much, but..."

Carefully considering the words he uttered, Sunday at this time changed the ruthless majesty he had when he just took over the possession of Dominic of the [Chorus], and sincerely confided his difficulties and thoughts to Jeremy.

He was convinced that Jeremy was a righteous man who was willing to sacrifice himself for all living beings. No matter what his reasons were at this time, strictly speaking, he was taking advantage of Jeremy's kindness to kidnap him.

Doing such an unjust thing was difficult for Sunday, who had been strict with himself since childhood, to speak up.

After all, at this moment, he was not facing a stowaway who was trying to kidnap his sister, but a warrior with a true noble soul.

"I agreed. When the plan starts, I need to make some preparations."

Before the somewhat hesitant Sunday could even finish his words, Jeremy readily agreed to his request.

It was impossible for him to just sit there and do nothing while the swarm of insects was wreaking havoc before his eyes.

Whether it was the blood feud that occurred in his hometown eight hundred Amber Ages ago, or the friction in Liumeng Reef not long ago, Jeremy was not going to let go of those insects that acted solely on instinct and wanted to devour everything in front of them.

But as he said, some preparation is needed.

Originally, Jeremy was planning to ask Miss Saturday to do him a favor, but since the head of the Oak family had pulled him over, it would be the same to ask him for help.

After all, no matter what, this is all to fight against those insect swarms that are multiplying endlessly, and the head of the Oak family should not refuse his request.

"Agree so easily? Although you have faced the remains of your brood before, the next action will be even more dangerous. You may even have to face the remains of a Star God."

Even if it is just a broken body, it is the great power left by the Star God. No one can guarantee what will happen at that time.

"The remains of a Star God... are indeed not something you can easily deal with. However, when the corpse that was smashed into a specimen by the Amber King was still alive, our clan never showed any cowardice towards Him. Moreover, what lies within the Dream Reef is merely the remains of a corpse."

In front of Sunday, Jeremy took off the gloves he had just put on and showed his right hand covered with black shell to the head of the Oak family.

How should I put it? Maybe this is the so-called broken window effect. When your secret is revealed to others for the first time, some of your previous obsessions will be weakened unknowingly.

Moreover, since the other party is sincere in seeking cooperation with me, I should show him my sincerity for the time being.

After all, his half-insect body was not a shame that Jeremy could not speak of, but a proof of his parents' love under the witness and blessing of the whole world.

Besides, Miss Robin already knew about this matter, and it was probably only a matter of time before her secret reached the ears of the head of the Oak family.

In that case, it would be better to be open and honest from the beginning, just like when Ms. Feicui invited him to join the strategic investment department.

"This is... I see. Is this why the chirping of insects constantly echoes in your soul?"

Looking at Jerami's right arm covered with black shell, Sunday's eyes fixed, as if he understood something.

"After receiving Huang Quan's reminder, I once read about the Zerg Abyss. It's said that the civilization destroyed by the universal insect plague eight hundred Amber Ages ago was an extremely peaceful world. Humans and humanoid creatures known as the Zerg lived in harmony until the advent of [Breeding]... Is this why you are so dedicated to fighting the Zerg?"

Looking at Sunday who seemed lost in thought, Jeremy chuckled, shook his head, and began to correct his thoughts.

"That's partially correct, but not entirely. I am Jeramy Idomonarak Nie Brasheri, the Lord of the Narrow Zone who rules over everything in the Zerg Abyss and dictates the fate of the world. I've personally witnessed the beautiful love between humans and Zerg, and I've vowed to protect that sincerity forever."

Jeremy declared this in front of Sunday with his hands spread out.

"I want to create a world where all creatures live in harmony and journey together to the vast starry sky. To prevent such a world from being destroyed like my hometown, I will never let go of those evil creatures who refuse to change and exist only to destroy happiness."

Faced with Jeremy's honesty, Sunday slightly turned his eyes away and no longer looked at Jeremy's right hand covered with black shell.

It was not out of disgust, but the brilliance that Jeremy exuded at this moment was too dazzling, just like the righteous man described in the law who was born to do good deeds.

For Sunday, who is tirelessly pursuing his ideal utopia, people like Jeremy are the perfect companions.

"Jerami, since you've been honest with me, I should return the respect. However, now is not the time. The Zerg crisis is imminent, and I have to race against time to ensure that Pinocchio survives this crisis. But I can assure you that no matter what preparations you need to make, Pinocchio will do its best to help you complete them."

Let's put aside for now the plan to turn Pinoconi into a paradise on earth. If the swarm of insects is allowed to break out of Liumeng Reef, even the most beautiful palace will lose the foundation for its walls.

"I need a good enough mechanic and the resources to build at least two Star Destroyers to build two mechs for me."

Taking out the two insect crystals he had just taken back, the wolf spider and rhinoceros beetle were sleeping quietly in the orange-yellow amber.

"As long as I can reforge the guardian deity of the Insect Abyss, I will possess power no less than that of a Commander. I will be able to enter that vast void and sever the connection between the breeding remains and the insect swarm."

ps: Still writing, there should be more.

Volume 94: Genius Club

"Is this right here?"

At the golden hour in a not-so-bustling park, Jeremy looked at the drowsy old man sitting on a bench not far away and suddenly felt something strange.

According to Sunday, there is a real genius here, and he happens to be an expert in the field of weapons research. As long as Jeramy can convince him, the Oak family will do its best to provide resources to forge the guardian god that once protected the Worm Abyss for him.

However, looking at the old man who was about to die sitting on the park bench in a daze, Jeremy always had the thought that he might have remembered Sunday wrongly.

The Genius Club is where a group of genuine geniuses gather, and their talents can even be noticed and invited by the Master of Knowledge.

Although Jeremy, as a corporate spy, was not suitable to appear in public in the past, he still met with some geniuses in some informal occasions.

For example, when Ms. Emerald visited the Black Tower Space Station on behalf of the company, he was caught in the act of spying on scientific research secrets by the arrogant dwarf. The other party even set his sights on his venom spray gun and wanted to buy it at a high price as a rare item for research.

The money used was still that young lady's.

But no matter what, all the geniuses Jeremy had seen before were full of vigor and ambition. Even if they faced others with a humble attitude, they still couldn't hide their confidence and sharpness in their hearts.

But this person in front of me...

Although it may be a bit rude to make such a comment, if it weren't for the occasional gleam in the old man's eyes, he would really look like an elderly man in his twilight years.

"Yes, that's him."

Robin nodded firmly. She was deeply impressed by this genius whose real body was on the verge of death and could only barely maintain his existence in dreams.

Not to mention the title of 79th seat in the Genius Club, which is enough to make most scholars in the world look up to him, the old man's own experience also brought many feelings to her who wanted to build a paradise.

"My adoptive father, Mr. Ge Peimu, said that about two hundred years ago, he found this genius who was almost at the end of his powers and brought him back to Pinocchio."

"However, Mr. Ge Peimu's motives weren't purely philanthropic. He also hoped that Pinoconi's development could benefit from the assistance of a genius. However, he never seemed to have such an intention and rejected Mr. Ge Peimu's proposal. To prevent anyone from forcibly examining his thoughts, he even sealed himself off and remained in this state of silence in the dreamland until now."

Looking at the dull old man sitting on the bench in the distance, Robin gently pulled Jerami's sleeve and gave him careful instructions.

"Mr. Jeramy, his name is Chadwick. I heard he had some...unpleasantness with the Interstellar Peace Corporation. He's very secretive about topics like weapons. You must not provoke him."

Robin is not completely ignorant of this genius who has stayed in Pinocchio's dream for nearly two hundred years. Even if he is unwilling to reveal anything, the family can still find clues about his past.

It has to be said that after learning about the "masterpiece" that the other party had completed, even the robin had to marvel at the deeds of this genius.

Destructive weapons that attack on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis have caused the destruction of several civilizations.

Although he knew very well that the tragedy was caused by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which controlled and abused this weapon, Robin couldn't help but feel a little in awe of that genius.

And now, Mr. Jeremy actually intends to invite such a genius to create the patron saint he mentioned for himself?

The robin began to wonder what the patronus Mr. Jeramy mentioned was like.

Although according to Miss Huang Quan, eight hundred Amber Ages ago, the Insect Abyss had relied on this mecha called the Guardian to resist the attacks of the universe's insect plague, and even gouged out the heart of [Reproduction].

However, this kind of information, which is only passed down by word of mouth, cannot give the robin a clear idea.

Now, she is actually more worried about what will happen if Mr. Jeremy fails to successfully persuade the genius. She can't bear to let her lover continue to take risks.

I don’t know what my brother and Mr. Jeremy talked about. The two of them, who were at loggerheads with each other the last time they met, seemed to have suddenly become close friends who felt they had met too late. My brother was even willing to reveal the whereabouts of this genius to him.

"Don't worry, Miss Saturday, I'm not someone who doesn't know what to do."

Jeremy didn't seem to care about Miss Saturday's worried advice.

Chadwick, he had heard of this name, a member of the genius club who was once tempted by science and truth and cooperated with the company, but could not bear it after seeing the damage caused by his weapons.

However, since he had not yet joined the Star Core Hunters and did not know the whole story, he was not in a position to comment on the character of the genius named Chadwick.

Of course, Jeramy, who works in the Strategic Investment Department, doesn't need to understand it.

After all, these incidents can ultimately be summed up in one sentence - the marketing department is still harming people.

"How can I not be worried? If Mr. Jeremy really knew what propriety meant, he wouldn't have me on edge every time. If Mr. Jeremy does anything out of line again, I will really use the power of Constantina at the Wanlai Theater to lock you up completely. By then, the ransom won't be as simple as a kiss."

In fact, if possible, Robin did not want Jeramy to go to Liumeng Reef to fight again. She did not want to continue to watch Jeramy fighting alone and injured, feeling helpless.

Rather than letting Mr. Jeramy continue to risk his life, it is better to protect him under one's wings forever, even if it is just power borrowed from Constantina of Wanlai Theater.

Unfortunately, although he had a good plan in mind, Robin was still reluctant to lock up Jeramy forever.

She didn't really want to turn Jeremy into a spider in a cage, but every time she saw Jeremy doing those very dangerous jobs, she had an urge to tie him to her side forever.
