I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 364: 8.89 First Blue Star - Assassination and Rescue Plans.

The human boy Clayʼs eyes widened in shock upon seeing the people in front of him suddenly become human in appearance and some butterfly quantum beast appeared hovering beside them. Seeing this scene the boy had finally seen the light of hope.

The humans who were living on this planet were treated as livestock. They live in the forests and caves like wild animals trying their best to hide from their predators which are at the top of the food chain on this planet. But even though they tried their best to escape, the fact that they were weaker and being hunted doesnʼt change.

Finally meeting people who could save them, Clay, thought that they would finally be able to leave this cruel planet.

The human boy, Clay, spoke, ”I... I will tell you everything. Anything you need to learn about the forests on this planet. I will also show you the way where we hide. Please... Please bring us out of this misery...”

Tears helplessly stroll down on the childʼs face. This is the human boy who didnʼt even show his tears when those zergs tried to cut him to pieces and auction his limbs for sale. When he was dragged out of some unknown cage, he expressed his will to leave and didnʼt fear the looming death over him. Instead, he screams in the hope that someone will save him.

Courageous little Clay but no matter what the boy is only ten-years-old at this moment. Once his burden had finally been lifted off his body, he finally showed a reaction befitting his normal age. The elders of the Alula Clan were once again hopeful that this time the humans they would save would be like this boy Clay with a strong will to live.

Nova Revel ruffled the boyʼs head as if praising him and said, ”Good Job. Take a bath first and rest when you wake up you can tell the rest to us.”

”Uncle, Aunt, what are your names?” asked Clay as he looked up to see the faces of the couple.

”The name is Revel and surnamed Nova. This is my wife, Seren. Nice to meet you, Clay,” introduced Lieutenant General Nova Revel to the kid.

The elders took over the boy. They would bathe him, let him eat then allow him to sleep for a bit. The Young Lady and Young Lord had left to meet their clan leader. They entered a secret hallway and reached the end of it. In the end, it is a hidden mansion that looks like a human home, the same as the ones back in the Empire. At the courtyard, a familiar and siren-like beauty was currently enjoying his tea when the couple arrived.

Alula Celesteʼs long hair with the same shade as the color of the ocean is too eye-catching from the far and he instantly recognizes the couple despite their transformation.

The effects of the Transformation Pill had finally ended revealing the original human features that Nova Seren and Nova Revel have.

”Your father has sent the message that you will be coming to pick this old man up. Sweetie, Xiao Rev, good job coming over,” said Alula Celeste with a gentle smile on his face.

Same face, familiar gentle voice like the ones in their memories. Then that tender gaze and soothing smile. Everything is the same as the one in their memories. The last time they had seen this man was a decade ago. Feng Jing is even younger than the little Clay they had picked before.

In Oberion Empire, some fewer people could still remember the name Alula Celeste and most of them had thought he had died like the unknown news which sprouted out of nowhere but here he is alive and kicking.

Nova Seren couldnʼt stop herself from coming over to hug her other father, her mother figure. Even the cold expression on her face finally melted as she embraced the person she could only meet a few times in her dreams.

Lieutenant General Nova Seren calls with a nasal tone, ”I miss you so much, Daddy~,”

Alula Celeste hugs his foster daughter and son-in-law. ”Lan had brought you two up nicely. I heard you two didnʼt officially have a marriage but only got married red booklets. Once this old man gets back I will have you plan for your wedding. Plus help prepare for Xiao Jingʼs wedding in a few years. Hahaha~,” said the former Marshal.

”Stop crying now and take your seats. Hm~ this old man is pretty satisfied with how you have grown so... When are you gonna give me a grandchild?” asked Alula Celeste with a teasing tone.

Nova Revel chuckled and said, ”Donʼt worry, Dad. Iʼm working hard on it. Ah! Hiss~”

His waist was pinched by his wife and could only shut up. After a few more words of exchange, they finally are talking about their plans to retreat. The couple also didnʼt forget to inform Alula Celeste about the boy named Clay.

Alula Celeste spoke, ”Hm~ based on the childʼs voice there might be human-like him who werenʼt grown in the Human Farm. Either they escape from there before losing their will to live or they were people who were kidnapped and successfully escaped as soon as they landed on this planet.

This planet used to be an abandoned one like Star Citlali. The Zerg Race chose this planet as the habitat in this place is similar to our planet. They could propagate faster in a humid area. There is a huge underground nest within this planet. This planet must be destroyed as half of it is already full of unhatched eggs of the Zerg race. Plus, there is this human farm. How many spare rescue ships did you guys bring? Would it be enough to bring everyone back?”  There is a frown on his face when this is mentioned.

Nova Seren answered, ”Daddy, donʼt have to worry about this. Including mine and Revelʼs ship, there is AʼYang, King Zenith, and Fatherʼs battleship. There are enough rescue shuttles.” 

”Thatʼs good. But I canʼt believe your father came over here himself. I heard the Imperial Family had been parasitized. But Iʼve never heard of the Zerg Race doing such a mission,” said Alula Celeste. ”Are you sure that it is the Zerg Race?” he asked.

When such a question was heard the Nova Couple was stunned. Their dad had been spying in this race for quite a long time and he is in high standing, only second the Imperial King and Queen of this race.

”This... Since they could take over someoneʼs vessel we thought it was the zergs. Are there other Alien races that can do such a thing?” asked Nova Revel.

”Hmm, if itʼs like this then it is either a top-secret mission or... An independent clan outside the Race or another alien race using Zergs is a camouflage. What did the Marshals decide to do?” said Alula Celeste.

”Theyʼve sent Xue Ying, Major General Drake, and Major General Lin Tang,” replied Nova Seren.

Alula Celeste mumbled, ”With the Feng Clan left in the Capital, the Janus Clan would definitely listen to AʼXuan in case something happened with Xue Ying plus the Drake Clan and Lin Clan added in there shouldnʼt be any problems. Even if the Navi Clan get involved and sided with the imperial family there shouldnʼt be a problem...”

Nova Revel said, ”Dad, the Navi Clan no longer exists. Their remaining clan members in the Empire were captured and dealt with. As for the Black Turtle unit plus Major General Navi Itri and his son, Navi Naja, Jingjing had executed them himself.”

The two expected their dad to show a stunning expression but unexpectedly the former marshal just hummed a little and accepted the result so easily.

Alula Celeste said, ”Hm, I see then the problems at the Empire should be considered controlled for now that the Navi Clan is gone. Xiao Jing did a good job cleaning those trash up,”

Nova Seren curiously asked, ”Daddy you didnʼt think itʼs weird for Jingjing to do such a thing at that age?”

”No. He is from the Phoenix Clan. Have you seen someone from that Clan be merciful towards their enemies especially one that wanted to harm them or their family? Among the Fengs, that little darling is the most decisive and strongest. Donʼt look down on him just because of his young age. Just based on his bloodline as someone from a War Maniac Clan this is normal,ʼ” answered Alula Celeste. ”Anyway, focus on your own mission. But to retreat, we have to kill the Second Zerg King and Second Zerg Queen staying at the Palace. We must do it as quietly as possible and immediate death must be done. Else they would be able to send messages to the other Royal Pair fighting at Planet Citlali. We will do the Rescue and Assassination Plan simultaneously only then we can retreat smoothly,”

”We understand, Dad,” responded the couple. 

After talking about the details of the plan, it was decided that Feng Yang and King Zenith would complete the Assassination while Nova Seren would accompany the boy named Clay to rescue his friend and Nova Revel would target the human farm and look for survivors.

Alula Celeste would be the decoy. He would stage a play of coup dʼetat and take all the attention on him. The children will complete the other missions themselves behind the scenes. Of course, his husband the Grand Marshal will help him stage the play.

As soon as the boy named Clay woke up, Nova Seren accompanied him to the place he used to live. Of course, they went to the said place without no one anything. Clay brought Nova Seren to the bottom of some poison gas cliff which the zergs even avoided.

The poison itself is quite deadly but Clay showed a secret passage that would bring them to the bottom of the cliff safely without inhaling any poison gas.

They walk towards a cave-like hollowed alley which only allows one line single person space. It barely allows a muscular man to pass through such thin space but for a child, it was a bit of a comfortable walk.

Once theyʼve passed through the secret passage a scene close to the primitive life recorded in the history of humans can be seen. Using caves as houses, a bonfire at the center, huge animal bowls, and earthen pots, and utensils were used instead of metals and jades. Even the clothes they were wearing were made from animal fur clumsily stitched together such enough to cover their vital parts.

Clay ran towards his people with happy faces especially when he saw his younger sister.

”Claire! Big brother is back!!!” yelled Clay. 

Their arrival was shocking enough that some people ran to hide inside their caves and some even pointed their stolen energy weapons at Clay and the Elite Unit who followed to guard their Lieutenant General. The moment the weapons are raised towards them the soldiersʼ task is to escort Nova Seren and immediately surround them and protect their superior from behind them. Theyʼve also pointed their weapons at them.

”Lower your weapons. They are civilians,” said Nova Seren. 

Nova Seren felt things were going bad and gestured to her soldiers to lower their weapons but the soldiers kept it in their hands though they indeed lowered their hands a bit. 

”Who are you guys!!?”

”Clay!? Isnʼt that Clay!!!?”

”Clay, did you bring them here!? You brat you sold us out!!”

The young boy started panicking when he saw those familiar faces glaring and yelling at them. There are even tears pooling at the corner of his eyes and he looks so pitiful.

Clay spoke in between his sobs, ”N-No... No... No, Iʼm not. I didnʼt tell anyone else. I...I only ask for help...”

He looks like a child being bullied by the adults and his tears fall down like a fall but the adults were busy protecting themselves taking blindsight upon the scene of the hurt child.
