Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 75: Global Attention

Above Misty Island, eighteen black-purple vines, each over a thousand meters long, pierced the sky, dragging high-ranking Horde Leader flying Zerg into the thick fog. In just a moment, five high-ranking Horde Leader Zerg lost their life force.

Qin Mu's expression turned cold as the 256 Crescent Blades around him transformed into streams of light, cutting towards the Cloud Vine. Under the Crescent Blades' cuts, the black-purple vines were severed in half. However, the wounds almost instantly healed completely.

"The toughness is average, about the same as ordinary king-level monsters, not as good as the Azure Dragon. But the recovery ability is strong, with wounds healing instantly." After a test attack, Qin Mu concluded.

Qin Mu didn't rush to subdue the Cloud Vine but tested its strength. The Cloud Vine wasn't particularly strong, and subduing it wouldn't be difficult.

However, Qin Mu's visit to Misty Island wasn't just for the spirits of nature and the Cloud Vine. He also aimed to attract other forces on Earth, especially Hong, to come here.

Before launching a global war, Qin Mu needed to meet Hong, the strongest human since the Great Nirvana period, face to face. He needed to discuss the comprehensive war against the monsters with Hong and, ideally, gain Hong's support. If he could secure Hong's support, the plan would proceed more smoothly.

Why not just contact Hong directly and explain his thoughts? Because Qin Mu understood that the only way to convince Hong was through strength. Strength that Hong would acknowledge. And that inevitably required a fight.

As for what if Hong didn't acknowledge him? It wouldn't matter much; the process might be a bit more troublesome, but the final outcome wouldn't differ significantly.

As Qin Mu battled the Cloud Vine, the satellite monitoring centers of the five major countries, the Limit Dojo, the Thunder Dojo, and the HR Alliance all detected the massive energy reactions from the central part of Australia where Misty Island was located.

In a Chinese military center, Jia Yi smiled and said to the council member beside him.

"The signal from Qin Mu has finally arrived. Notify him; we are about to arrive. A new era is about to begin." The councilor's eyes sparkled with excitement. He had been waiting for this day for too long.

A blood-red, disc-shaped fighter jet streaked across the sky, speeding towards Misty Island.

At the same time, at the Limit Dojo's monitoring center, after the information was passed up the chain, the satellite photos and the data on the intense energy reactions were immediately transmitted to the Limit Dojo headquarters. At the headquarters, a man with short black hair, a black jacket, and black pants looked at the intelligence with surprise and a smile.

"I didn't expect that on our Earth, there would be a Cloud Vine." Moments later, a blood-red, triangular fighter jet sliced through the sky. Its response speed was only slightly slower than the military, which had prior notice. With the speed of the blood-red triangular fighter jet, it might even arrive at Misty Island before the Chinese military.

At the Thunder Dojo headquarters, a white-robed, bald monk rushed into the fighter jet, muttering. "Hurry, hurry, if we're late, this treasure might be taken by Brother Hong again."

Forces from Europa, America, and others also dispatched people towards Misty Island.

On Misty Island, Qin Mu hung up the call. Since Jia Yi and the others were on their way, other major forces should have also detected the anomaly and were heading this way.

"No more playing around, let's subdue this Cloud Vine first." Qin Mu wanted to attract other forces, especially Hong, but he had no intention of handing over the Cloud Vine.

The 256 Crescent Blades converged and combined, forming a rapidly spinning circular blade. The mysterious patterns on the Crescent Blades lit up. The high-speed rotating circular blade, moving at twenty times the speed of sound, transformed into a silver light, darting through the thick fog. In the fog, the purple vines were completely severed, falling powerlessly to the ground.

Following a vine, the circular blade cut down, directly charging towards its main body. The main body of the Cloud Vine suffered a severe blow, and purple liquid spilled across the ground.

In Qin Mu's consciousness, the massive spirit energy from over two hundred high-ranking flying Warlords in the sky surged into the Cloud Vine's consciousness.

"Hmm? The consciousness of this Cloud Vine is much weaker than expected." When Qin Mu's consciousness shattered the Cloud Vine's consciousness, he found it to be quite weak and very simple. When he turned it into a Zerg, it barely resisted.

"Is it because plant-like life forms have weaker wills, or is it because it hasn't recognized a master yet?" Qin Mu was curious.

Generally, for a Cloud Vine to recognize a master, it needed to drink the master's blood. If the strength was insufficient, it was difficult to recognize a master. Qin Mu didn't bother with that; he directly turned it into a Zerg, making it a part of the Swarm. Although a recognized Cloud Vine was extremely loyal, it could never compare to being part of the Swarm.

"This Cloud Vine's foundation is average; I'll need to find a way to supplement it later."

When the Cloud Vine was infected by Qin Mu's consciousness and successfully turned into a Zerg, a tentacle touched Qin Mu's body, and its massive form quickly shrank, transforming into a black battle armor that wrapped around Qin Mu. Although the previous battle severed many of its vines and even injured its main body, the Cloud Vine's greatest strength was its recovery ability. These injuries were nothing to it.

Qin Mu remembered that in the original timeline, this Cloud Vine was obtained by Hong, and the subjugation process was quite easy. Babata had once said that this Cloud Vine had only absorbed three Moya Crystals, whereas Luo Feng's Cloud Vine had absorbed a specially prepared fruit by the master of Yun Mo. A fruit of extremely high value, resembling a grape.

Just as Qin Mu turned it into a Zerg, a blood-red streak passed by in the distance. A triangular, blood-red fighter jet hovered above Misty Island, its door opening. Qin Mu's eyes narrowed; this was the Limit Dojo's fighter jet.

From the blood-red fighter jet, a black-haired man stepped out. When the black-haired man appeared, it was as if he was the only person in the world, and even the sun's brilliance paled in comparison. The black-haired man's gaze was cold, and even Qin Mu felt a chill in his heart when he was looked at.

"Has it already been subdued?" The black-haired man sighed slightly. Even he coveted something like the Cloud Vine. But with his demeanor, he certainly wouldn't resort to banditry.

"There are still so many spirits of nature?" In an instant, the black-haired man noticed that the high-ranking flying Horde Leader monsters in the sky were holding many spirits of nature, and there were still many remaining on Misty Island below. These remaining spirits of nature were intentionally left by Qin Mu. After all, if he was eating the meat, he should let others have some soup, right?

"Hong? I've heard a lot about you. Today, I finally get to see the real person. It was worth the wait." Looking at the extraordinary black-haired man in the sky, Qin Mu smiled.

"Did you deliberately lure me here?" The black-haired man, Hong, quickly understood Qin Mu's intentions.

"Yes, I have a plan to discuss with you."
