149: Caesar's people arrive
One day later!
"Ding! You have completed Stage One Main Quest: Hunt the Zerg."
"Hint: The next stage of the Main Quest will be released soon..."
On a battlefield strewn with the corpses of Martian Xenomorphs, Li An stood in the center, his entire body drenched in luminous green blood, almost unrecognizable.
During this day, he had traveled to many places, constantly battling Martian Xenomorphs, and occasionally encountering pursuers who had crossed over from other realms.
Finally, after his frenzied slaughter, the first stage of the Main Quest was completed.
"Ding! The second stage of the Main Quest will be released soon."
"Main Quest · Stage Two: Annihilate the Kingdom!"
Quest Difficulty: LV.50, Hard (Quest Levels: Normal, Hard, Elite, Hell, Death)
Quest Objective: There are five major Zerg Kingdoms in the current world. You must destroy the capital of any one Kingdom to complete the quest.
Quest Reward: Issued upon returning to Paradise.
Quest Penalty: Forced obliteration!
...Annihilate the Kingdom!
Even Li An's heart skipped a beat when he saw those words.
He was no longer a rookie just entering this world. After the Overlord Zerg's introduction, he already had a general understanding of the social hierarchy of the Mars World.
Kingdom!
Undoubtedly, it was the highest-ranking force in the Zerg social hierarchy!
And to annihilate a Kingdom, the number of Zerg he would face would be in the tens of millions. He needed an army!
In an instant, Li An thought of the Overlord Zerg!
The second stage of the Main Quest was almost identical to his original plan. His previous intention was to have the Overlord Zerg continuously devour weaker tribes, steadily expanding its power. Once it reached a certain level, he would launch an assault on a Kingdom!
But at that time, his core objective was to increase his strength and grow himself, not to annihilate a Kingdom!
After all, launching an assault on a Kingdom and aiming to annihilate a Kingdom were two completely different concepts.
With the release of the second stage of the Main Quest, Li An immediately realized that his plan had to be adjusted accordingly; otherwise, achieving the goal of annihilating a Kingdom would be a pipe dream.
Thinking of this, Li An first reined in his thoughts, then looked at the Zerg corpses scattered all around. These Zerg had their biological energy devoured by him when he killed them, so there was no possibility of them laying eggs and regenerating. After scanning the area and confirming no other living beings were present, Li An instantly vanished from his spot.
Because of the release of the second stage quest, he had no choice but to first go and find the Overlord Zerg. He needed to accelerate the development of his forces, allowing the Overlord Zerg to rapidly grow stronger in a short period.
At the same time!
As Li An embarked on his journey to find the Overlord Zerg and Eveleth, in a certain void of the Mars World, ripples spread outwards from the void. Then, figures emerged from the void, as if they had crossed over from another world.
And that was indeed the case; the emerging figures showed continuous struggles and tearing movements, seemingly enduring some unknown pain.
Finally, as a 'crack' sound echoed out of nowhere in the void of the Mars World, a terrifying void storm erupted, raging in all directions.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sandy ground was instantly swept by the storm, leaving behind a scarred landscape, as if it had been ploughed by an ox.
Bang, bang, bang!
The next second, as the void storm swept by, several figures followed closely, flying directly out of the void and then crashing heavily onto the ground.
Immediately followed by cries of agony, these few people, after hitting the ground, all uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.
But what was surprising was that these people, who were just spitting blood a second ago, immediately burst into joyous laughter after seeing their surroundings.
If Eveleth were present at this moment, she would surely recognize the identities of these people; they were her Caesar Clan, and also her competitors in this trial!
"Hahahaha, we still made it."
"We still got in."
"The Caesar Family actually chose the area where Big Sister is located as the final trial grounds this time. I wonder what those old geezers in the clan are thinking."
"This seems to be a world controlled by the Paradise Faction. Is it really okay for us to come in?"
These few people slowly stood up, and as they conversed, their gazes constantly surveyed their surroundings.
"What problem could there be?"
"We came in using an item with a Paradise imprint; this is already within the rules of Paradise."
"Now we should first figure out the situation here. The final trial is about to begin."
One of them first shook his head, then quickly changed the subject.
"Brothers, since we're in, I'll be going first."
"See you again at the end."
At this moment, another person spoke.
As his voice fell, this person didn't wait for the others to respond, but directly turned and chose a random direction to leave.
"Old Ten is still the same. Although we are competitors, we are also family, aren't we?"
"Forget it, don't mind him. His temper is both foul and stubborn. Let's all go our separate ways."
"Wishing us a good time!"
Watching the person named Old Ten walk away, two more people among those remaining spoke up. At this point, there were only five people left.
Finally, with the words of these two, the five people remaining also dispersed.
Final Trial!
This was the term for the coming-of-age ceremony when it entered its final stage. When the surviving Caesar Clan entered this stage, they would enter a world chosen by the old geezers of the clan to undergo the final struggle within that world!
And there were many ways to struggle; it could be one-on-one, or one-against-many, or even initiating legion wars!
Of course!
There were many ways to win. The old geezers within the Caesar Clan did not care how one won; they only wanted the result!
For this reason, this time, in order to allow the rest of the Caesar Clan to enter the Martian Xenomorph World, the Caesar Family even submitted a large amount of precious resources to Death Paradise, with the goal of allowing the Caesar Clan to have a good and thorough time in the Mars World!
The current Mars World had already become a huge powder keg. With the entry of the Caesar Clan, coupled with the pursuers, Li An, and the Aberrants already in this world, the Mars World was now incredibly lively.
At present, it could be said that only a trigger was missing, a trigger to ignite this powder keg.
And what Li An, who was currently searching for the Overlord Zerg and Eveleth, did not know was that he would soon become the person of this trigger. He would completely ignite this about-to-explode powder keg, and then thoroughly detonate the entire world.
