80: Chapter 80 Nightmare Licker

"Divine Lord!"

Blood One did not hesitate in the slightest, instantly blocking in front of Chen Mo.

"It's fine."

Chen Mo shook his head, watching that figure—which was constantly struggling, 'growing larger,' and 'twisting'—with anticipation.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Aaron's voice was like that of an evil ghost crawling out of Hell, and a special 'intent' was constantly eroding everything around him.

...

"Quiet!"

Chen Mo frowned as he watched this 'monster,' which was covered in dense, fine black scales and was two or three times larger than an ordinary Licker, and shouted sternly.

His voice was like a ray of dawn in the dark night, causing Aaron to instantly regain his senses.

"Divine Lord!"

Having reacted, Aaron buried his head low once again; his mind was extremely chaotic at this moment.

Yet even so, his faith in Chen Mo remained steadfast.

"You still need to adapt, but..."

Chen Mo approached Aaron and placed his right hand on the other's forehead, which was covered in black scales.

A surge of Divine Power entered, and Aaron, who had previously appeared somewhat restless and uneasy, instantly calmed down.

"The biggest reason is still 'hunger.' 'It' wants to evolve, so it instinctively urges you to 'slaughter' and to 'feed.'"

"That is so, Divine Lord."

Aaron, having regained his calm, nodded.

From the moment he woke up, he knew that he was completely different from other Parasitic Species.

Other Parasitic Species had been completely replaced by the viral primogenitor, but he and the viral primogenitor mutually achieved one another, which was why he could retain his original consciousness.

But compared to him, the other 'it' inside his body was much more savage.

Especially in a state of 'hunger,' which was the reason he had never dared to fully transform into his exclusive form.

"You must learn to control it, not be controlled by it."

Chen Mo raised his hand, and the black scales on Aaron's body immediately receded, returning to his original appearance in just a few seconds.

Whether it was Aaron or the other 'it' inside his body, they were both, in fact, his believers.

But compared to a 'mutated primogenitor' that only knew how to slaughter, Aaron, who possessed intelligence, was clearly more useful; this was the reason he was willing to personally instruct Aaron.

"Yes, Divine Lord."

Aaron, having returned to his original form, nodded, his eyes filled with reverence and gratitude as he looked at Chen Mo.

"Divine Lord, the simplified version of the nutrient solution factory has been built."

A figure slowly walked into the temple; it was none other than the only Commander Unit, Number One.

Although the number of Jikai Race had now reached ten thousand, there was still only one Commander Unit, Number One.

This was not Chen Mo's arrangement, but the autonomous choice of the Digital Pan-Will.

For the Jikai Race, the Commander Unit was always the least numerous type.

A single Commander Unit was sufficient to support millions of Jikai Race, so naturally, there was no need to create new Commander Units.

"So fast?" Chen Mo looked at Number One in surprise.

"Yes, there were already many ready-made metal constructs in this city-state; we only needed to use the local materials to complete the construction of the factory and some of the infrastructure."

A faint light flashed in Number One's simulated mechanical compound eyes as it continued.

"Divine Lord, this plane has many rare minerals that our Divine Domain does not possess. If we can mine a sufficient quantity, it could increase the 'Catastrophe' speed of the entire Jikai Race by 28.85%. Please allow us to mine on-site."

"You may!"

Chen Mo nodded. When it came to the development and utilization of indigenous planes, the Jikai Race was undoubtedly the expert among experts.

But compared to resource extraction, Chen Mo was actually more concerned about another issue.

"Has there been any news transmitted back from the dispatched Observation Units?" Chen Mo looked at Number One.

"For the moment..."

Number One was about to speak, but it paused instantly.

Without needing Chen Mo's command, a holographic image was already projected from Number One's mechanical compound eyes.

It was a figure flickering with blinding sparks, only half of its body remaining, fleeing desperately in the opposite direction from Chen Mo.

"Observation Unit X092 reporting: discovered a high-density biological gathering place, meeting the predetermined criteria."

"Observation Unit X092 reporting: discovered an unknown, powerful creature. The target's Rank exceeds the alert threshold. I will be unable to return. Repeat, I will be unable to return."

"Lackey of the alien god, die!"

A voice filled with rage and chilling killing intent rang out.

X092, which had been flying, immediately turned around, and in an instant, all of its remaining body was covered in digital particles.

"X092, please note: the Spirit Machine armory has been opened to you."

The voice of the Digital Pan-Will rang out immediately.

"Requesting desperate armament."

X092's voice had no emotional fluctuation.

"Ding, calculating your survival probability. Calculation result: 0.004%. Criteria met, request... approved!"

"Boom!"

A loud bang resounded, echoing in the slightly empty temple.

The projection in Number One's eyes also came to an abrupt end at this moment.

"Reporting to Divine Lord, X092 has died."

Number One's voice had no fluctuation.
