The mid-level plane.
Recently, the Azure Sky royal family had never felt such rage.
First, a Crown Prince and a Princess were captured while watching the Giant Beast battle. The fleet sent to rescue the Crown Prince and Princess was completely annihilated, and ultimately the Giant Beasts vanished without a trace; then the First Prince, Fang Zuo, went to investigate the Nightmare Knight Order and was captured again, his life or death unknown. This was a complete embarrassment for the Azure Sky royal family, which prided itself as the strongest!
However, the warships loaded with the Giant Beast Queen and the Giant Beasts disappeared into the vast cosmos. And what was even more critical was that the planet that was said to hide the legendary Nightmare Knights had also vanished! What on earth had happened to this plane? Why were there so many unbelievable events occurring?
The Azure Sky Empire dispatched countless warships to roam the cosmos, searching for the whereabouts of the two Crown Princes and the Princess. Similarly, those noble tycoons also dispatched innumerable spies, trying to locate the captives.
But at this time, those hostages were doing something in a corner of the universe they had never even dreamed of doing in their lives.
Servants.
Inside the spaceship, those wealthy nobles took up the tasks of making food and cleaning the warships, chores that were usually done by servants. Now, they had to learn to do them themselves. A few idiots initially said they didn’t know how, only to be ingested by a Giant Beast the next moment. Isrile left them with these words, "If you don’t know how, you can learn, but if you don’t work, you’ll only feed the Giant Beasts."
So, under the watchful eyes of countless predatory Giant Beasts, these people learned skills they’d never thought they’d need in the shortest time possible.
The warship also continued to roam from one planet to another.
The destination of this warship was simple: to find Giant Beast allies on different planets. Whenever they arrived on a planet, the Giant Beast belonging to that planet would leave, and not long after, the joyfully reunited Giant Beast would return with a group of enraged Giant Beasts. For years these mighty creatures had been the objects of hunting; they were forced to become spectacles, playthings. If they were just a group of ignorant beasts that bumbled through life, that would be one thing, but on the contrary, they had a degree of intelligence. Thus, these enraged Giant Beasts joined forces and began to constantly join Isrile’s army.
Soon, Isrile’s army expanded to nearly ten thousand, and a critical issue was laid out before them.
This spaceship, it wasn’t large enough anymore.
According to Isrile’s estimation, the Giant Beast Legion might need to reach nearly a hundred thousand. But this warship was initially designed for a thousand warriors. Now, crammed to the brim with ten thousand resting Giant Beasts, it was severely overloaded.
Should they now resort to hijacking more warships?
Isrile was still worrying when,
Captain Bronk found Isrile, "Your Majesty the Queen, we’re running out of space."
Bronk got straight to the point, knowing Isrile preferred it that way.
"Do you have a solution?" Isrile asked directly.
"I have two different plans," Bronk said.
"What plans?"
"The simple plan would be for us to hijack other people’s warships for our use. The benefit is that it’s easy, but the downside is it could expose us. Moreover, if the warships are damaged, we might not have a place to repair them."
"And the second plan?"
"The second plan is more difficult, and I estimate only you will be capable of doing it. Once successful, we will have a truly unsinkable warship!"
Bronk’s eyes shimmered with light.
"Speak!"
Isrile commanded.
All pirates knew of a legend: in this plane, there once was a large spaceship belonging to the Giants that got stranded on the surface of an Asteroid after being attacked by the Dragon Clan. The Giants abandoned the ship, the Dragon Clan completely ignored it, but the spaceship was not entirely destroyed.
That spaceship carried a strange creature — also the result of the Giants’ experiments.
That creature broke the box that enclosed it, began to grow wildly, and eventually even fused the entire spaceship and the Asteroid together, becoming a super-sized living entity.
The enormous creature roamed the boundless cosmos, and as time passed, it turned the inside of the Asteroid into countless nests, spawning horrifying small life forms. The creature approached every fertile planet, then sent out those terrifying offspring to bring back the creatures of the planet into the nests as food.
It consumed a lot but digested very slowly, appearing almost yearly, and each time, it brought disaster to some planet.
Once, a team of adventurers found the giant creature’s hiding place in the Asteroid Belt, but as soon as they approached, the spaceship was attacked by numerous terrifying creatures. The spaceship ultimately managed to escape and brought back news, but by the time reinforcements arrived, the enormous creature had vanished without a trace.
"I was that adventurer, they are my discovery. And after that, I never gave up on tracking that bastard, and it turned out I actually found it. However, I just watched it from afar, not daring to approach, those creatures guarding it are simply too terrifying!"
