84: Chapter 84 The Psionic Mothership Sets Sail and Theodore's Complete Form
"As you command, Overlord."
Lumina's voice echoed in the mental link, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, carrying only the purest execution of the order.
The next moment, her body, composed of light particles, suddenly collapsed inward, all its radiance converging into a singularity of extreme density.
There was no sound, no warning.
The point of light vanished.
A golden line piercing through heaven and earth, the moment it vanished, had already precisely pierced into the leviathan's vast, deathly silent body.
That was not flight, but light itself trampling upon the concept of space.
One second.
A mere second of silence.
"Hum——!!!"
A low hum, indescribable in words, resonated from the deepest part of the leviathan's body, as if an ancient behemoth that had slept for eons had its heartbeat awakened.
This sound did not propagate through the air, but directly vibrated the soul and spirit of every being present.
Within the Divine Realm, all Zerg Swarm units, regardless of their rank, stopped all movement in that instant, instinctively prostrating themselves on the ground, offering their deepest awe toward the magnificent existence in the sky.
Following that came the second heartbeat.
"Hum——!!!"
Heavier, grander!
In Su Chen's retina, on that biological warship resembling a floating continent, its originally dull, rock-like biological armor plates were instantly ignited with streaks of deep blue psionic energy patterns!
It was not a simple lighting up, but a surging!
With the core power reactor that Lumina had entered as the source, a violent torrent of energy spread crazily along countless pipes within the ship's body that resembled neural networks.
One, ten, a hundred...
The deep blue psionic light, like surging lightning plasma, outlined an incredibly complex energy circuit map on the surface of the leviathan's five-kilometer-long hull.
From the cracks in the carapace on the hull's surface, high-pressure white steam sprayed out; it was the aftermath of the long-dormant circulatory system being forcibly activated.
The needle of the core power reactor, under the infusion of the endless energy from the "Living Sun" Lumina, broke free from all restraints, directly shattering the limit threshold and reaching a peak never before attained!
Power, instantly maxed out!
Rumble!
The entire ground of the Divine Realm was trembling.
This five-kilometer-long war behemoth, its body so vast it could cover the firmament, began to slowly shake off the shackles of gravity.
It was not "flying," but "pushing away" the entire space.
The massive shadow expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, completely swallowing the purple-black creep-covered ground below, and half of the Divine Realm was shrouded under this shadow that symbolized destruction and conquest.
Su Chen looked up, feeling that suffocating sense of oppression, yet the corners of his mouth were curling upward.
He could clearly perceive that every "organ" of the leviathan was awakening.
Click! Click-clack!
On the back of the hull, hundreds of ferocious biological turrets rose from beneath the carapace, the biological tissue covering the muzzles automatically retracting like opening eyelids, revealing the muzzles within that shimmered with psionic energy.
They began to rotate autonomously, calibrating every firing angle, like hungry hounds searching for prey.
On the ship's belly, the massive Zerg hangar bay doors, stretching for several kilometers, slowly opened amidst a dull sound of hydraulics and tearing muscles.
Bright energy light shone from within, and countless agile psionic fighter jets, like killer bees disturbed in a hive, were densely flying in and out, conducting takeoff and landing drills.
This war behemoth that had been dormant for far too long, this former ultimate weapon of the Zerg Swarm, was, in this moment, re-endowed with a soul.
The leviathan, officially commissioned!
Su Chen slowly closed his eyes and spread his arms, sensing the unique aura in the air that belonged to the leviathan, a mix of biological pheromones and high-energy particles.
From this day on, he was no longer a planetary Overlord who could only guard one corner.
The sea of stars, the frontiers of the universe, were no longer unreachable dreams.
He finally possessed the confidence to project his own will and the Zerg Swarm's military might to any coordinate.
"Good things come in pairs."
Within Su Chen's chest, an irrepressible sense of pride was surging.
"Today is a good day."
Feeling stirred, he waved his hand, and his holy and majestic will instantly spread throughout the entire Divine Realm.
"Initiate the realm-wide celebration! All my subjects, my believers, shall bathe in the divine grace of evolution!"
The moment the order was given, golden light rain descended from the sky of the Divine Realm.
Every drop of light rain contained the purest life energy and Su Chen's divine aura.
Under the baptism of this light rain, the low-level Zergling and Hydralisk saw their carapaces become tougher and their bone spurs sharper.
Those Drone units, serving as production units, let out joyful hisses; their genetic sequences were being optimized, and their work efficiency received a leap-like improvement.
The entire Divine Realm transformed into a frenzied and grand genetic evolution feast.
Just as the celebration reached its climax, the Abyss Poisonous mother tree—Rott—which was rooted in the center of the Divine Realm and whose size was already comparable to a mountain, also offered a belated grand gift.
Its twisted, thick trunk swayed slightly, and at the top of a massive branch extending toward the sky, where there had originally been nothing, a pitch-black flower bud was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The surface of the flower bud was wreathed in visible, thick death energy, as if it had condensed the final curse of thousands of departed souls.
As the flower bud slowly bloomed, an aura that was cold, deathly, yet contained boundless primordial power instantly spread out.
The joyous atmosphere of evolution in the Divine Realm was momentarily stalled by this.
It was a flower that was pitch-black all over, capable of absorbing even light.
The edges of its petals presented a translucent gray, as if woven from the pure laws of death.
[Tier 8 Dark Ancient Flower]
[Special Effect: Contains an extremely high concentration of dark and undead primordial power; it is a core wondrous item for constructing the body of a Legendary Rank undead creature.]
Su Chen's gaze fell upon that flower, and in the mental network, the outline of a figure instantly became clear.
He reached out and plucked it from the air.
The Dark Ancient Flower detached from the branch, turned into a streak of black light, and landed precisely in his hand.
The flower was ice-cold to the touch, as if holding a piece of ten-thousand-year black ice, and the undead primordial energy contained within it almost froze his soul.
"Theodore."
Su Chen's voice was calm, yet carried unquestionable majesty.
He looked up at the massive figure patrolling diligently in the sky, flicked his wrist, and tossed the Dark Ancient Flower out.
"This is yours."
The Bone Dragon Theodore, circling in the air, its eye sockets burning with deep blue soul fire, instantly locked onto the incoming streak of black light.
It let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar, jerked its massive head, and precisely opened its giant maw.
"Roar!"
The Dark Ancient Flower was swallowed into its belly in one gulp.
The next second, inside Theodore's chest, the massive biochemical reactor emitted a harsh, overloaded roar resembling metal grinding against metal!
The terrifying dark and undead primordial energy, like a flood breaking through a dam, frantically washed through every bone and every energy conduit within its body!
"Crack——!!!"
Theodore let out a painful roar, and the thick biochemical armor on its body surface instantly cracked with countless fissures.
But beneath the cracks, it was not destruction, but rebirth!
Larger, thicker armor plates, engraved with brand-new dark runes, were forcibly squeezed and grown out from its bones, completely covering and merging with the original armor fragments.
Its body, which had already reached a hundred meters in size, began to grow crazily and without restraint at this moment!
One hundred and fifty meters!
Two hundred meters!
Two hundred and fifty meters!
The explosive sounds of bones stretching were endless, and its wings, when spread, could almost rival a small interstellar warship.
On its originally ferocious skull, two massive spiral-shaped bone horns broke through the skull and emerged, pointing straight at the firmament!
Three hundred meters!
When its size finally settled at the three-hundred-meter mark, the undead elements of the entire Divine Realm boiled for it!
A true Legendary Rank dragon might, stemming from above bloodline and rank, enough to make all dragons submit, swept across the entire scene like a tsunami!
It slowly lowered that massive head, which had become ferocious and majestic, its eye sockets burning with soul fire "gazing" at Su Chen below, and let out a low dragon roar filled with supreme respect.
It was no longer that "defective product picked up from the roadside" by Su Chen in the ruins.
It was the true [Legendary Rank Complete Form · Biochemical Bone Dragon Emperor]!
