Chapter 358: Chapter 358 You Are Not Queen Gaia
"Her second superpower was extremely destructive, it was a fire element superpower."
A person who could perform space magic, and also had a fire element superpower.
That’s probably why she managed to drive away the dark invaders by herself, taking the people of the Mermaid Planet with her.
And established the Mermaid Kingdom we have today!
Yin Yue suddenly spoke up, "However, before Queen Gaia left Mermaid Planet, there were rumors that she underwent surgery to have her superpower core removed."
Su Wan was startled, "Why would she do that? Without the superpower core... wouldn’t she be unable to use her superpowers anymore?"
Yin Yue shook her head, "This is just a legend, whether it’s true or not is unknown. Besides, no one is skilled enough to perform surgery to remove the superpower core of a beastman."
However, Su Wan fell silent for a while.
She spoke softly, "Gaia’s husband later on was a doctor named Lin."
Everyone was stunned.
Just at that moment, they had already exited the long passageway and were about to enter the Imperial Palace’s domain.
Lan Ruojin took out several sets of combat suits and helmets worn by the guards of the Mermaid Imperial Palace from the space button, "Let’s put these on first. In case something happens later on, it’ll be easier to explain."
At this point, no one knew what the situation inside the Imperial Palace was like.
Ruochen and the others had been out of contact for quite some time already.
Inside the palace, there must have been something that disrupted and interfered with signals.
Fortunately, before Gu Jue entered, he had sent the entrance coordinates to his subordinates.
After changing into the guard uniforms, they walked in.
The first thing that met their eyes were bodies strewn haphazardly about, including not just the Imperial Palace guards but others as well...
Su Wan’s expression darkened as she looked at those limbs, "Insectoids."
Yin Yue frowned, "Why would insectoids launch an attack on Mermaid Planet first?"
She bore no ill-will towards other planets.
After all, there was no reason for them to attack Mermaid Planet!
Even if the military power of the Mermaid Planet was the weakest.
But Gu Jue looked over the insectoid bodies.
He said, "If it were really Queen Gaia, she would definitely not lead a group of insectoids to attack Mermaid Planet."
This was also why, during the last communication, Ruochen referred to it as a palace mystery.
Not a direct abdication.
But it was unclear to everyone why the insectoids would suddenly act against Mermaid Planet, and under Queen Gaia’s name no less!
Perhaps, it was similar to what happened at the Federation Empire’s palace last time?
At this point, White Tiger said into Gu Jue’s earpiece, "Master, my signal is becoming unstable; I might lose contact with the outside world soon."
Gu Jue replied, "Tell Li Rui to lead people to land on Mermaid Planet in twenty minutes."
White Tiger responded, "Yes!"
Meanwhile, Gu Jue and his group continued further inside. Thanks to Lan Ruojin guiding them, they successfully avoided the wandering insectoids.
Seeing the repulsive appearance of the insectoids, Lan Ruojin remembered that there were two ladies present.
His aunt was a different story, she had a background in medicine and enjoyed dissecting insect beasts the most.
But as for Su Wan...
Lan Ruojin was just about to show some concern when he looked up and saw Commander Gu’s icy gaze.
Lan Ruojin shuddered his fin-ears awkwardly and continued to quietly walk inside.
However, it was Yin Yue who whispered, "Don’t worry, Wanwan is braver than me. Seeing these insectoids, she’s probably thinking about which dish they would be suitable for."
Su Wan modestly demurred, "No, no, no; insectoids are not quite the same as insect beasts. I haven’t tried that yet."
Yin Yue encouraged her, "One must be brave to try new things."
Lan Ruojin wisely shut his mouth.
Indeed, none of the women here needed his gentlemanly concern.
But after walking for a while, they saw more bodies, still all guards.
They didn’t see any members of the Royal Family.
Lan Ruojin, "Lan Ruochen and the rest certainly won’t resist."
Su Wan, however, didn’t believe that Lan Ruochen would be craven and fear death, the main thing was, the opposition probably didn’t want to kill them either.
As they continued to walk, there were more Insectoids, a spider woman climbed back and forth, occasionally spinning silk around the captured guards even more securely.
"There are many Insectoids ahead, we need to scout out the situation inside," Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, "We’ll need to split up to search."
One target was the sleeping chambers, the other was the council hall.
The four of them had to split up to search, but deciding how to split was a problem.
Yin Yue reached out to hug Su Wan’s arm and said, "I’ll pair up with Xiaowan, Commander Gu, you’re the strongest, take my good-for-nothing nephew with you, don’t let him die."
Lan Ruojin’s mouth twitched.
Just as he wanted to argue, he suddenly realized that among the four of them, indeed, he was the weakest in combat.
After all, even though Su Wan is younger, her Beast Transformation Level is higher than his! He felt quite depressed.
Gu Jue worried about Su Wan and looked at her with concern.
Su Wan, "We’re just checking the situation, we won’t get close, we won’t startle the snake, and once we’re done investigating, we’ll meet back here!"
Gu Jue, "If it really doesn’t work out, you can summon Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon will know immediately."
Su Wan nodded.
Gu Jue took Lan Ruojin toward the council hall, which was the most likely place.
Su Wan and Yin Yue went toward the spacious sleeping quarters, along the way, there were very few Insectoids.
It seemed that everyone was over at the council hall.
Su Wan, "Vermilion Bird, can you still contact White Tiger?"
Vermilion Bird, "A second ago, the signal just went dead."
Su Wan’s pace suddenly halted.
At that moment, Yin Yue turned back, seeing her motionless, worried about being spotted, and quickly pulled her into a corner.
"Xiaowan, why aren’t you moving?"
Su Wan looked up at her, "Just now my artificial intelligence could still contact Ajue, but now, suddenly the signal’s been cut off."
Yin Yue was startled.
The next moment, a giant claw snapped toward them!
Su Wan and Yin Yue both reacted extremely quickly and rolled in opposite directions!
Yin Yue picked up a Photon Cannon, about to shoot, when the next moment, gunshots also came from the direction of the council hall!
Su Wan, "Vermilion Bird!"
A huge red Mecha transformed from the button, and without waiting for Su Wan’s command, punched the clawed Insectoid, sending it flying!
However, it was clear that the sound of battle from the council hall was even louder!
Yin Yue, "Let’s go support them over there!"
As Vermilion Bird quickly and efficiently blew up the clawed Beastman, Su Wan did not immediately leave.
She looked back with suspicion.
On the blue roof of the sleeping quarters, a golden-haired woman with one hand propping her chin watched Su Wan with a complex gaze.
Su Wan blinked.
Then, in the next moment, the woman had already approached them!
Yin Yue, at her side, was dumbfounded, murmuring, "The Queen, Your Majesty..."
The golden-haired woman ignored Yin Yue and continued to look quietly at Su Wan.
She said, "That mask of yours is really ugly."
Su Wan could feel that the other’s spiritual power was very strong!
She clenched her fist and asked slowly but firmly, "You’re not Queen Gaia, are you?"
