Chapter 222: Chapter 222: The Divine Fetus Is Exposed
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the B1 Star Zone’s Administrative Hall framed the star-filled sky.
Su An’an had just brought the floral tea to her lips when Alita’s words made her choke.
Alita’s silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall as her fingertips tapped lightly on a Light Screen:
"A private Starship fleet and three energy Mine Stars, all transferred to your name."
Su An’an coughed and waved her hands. "Sister, are you crazy?"
Alita reached out and pinched her cheek, her smile filled with adoration.
"Does an older sister need a reason to spoil her little sister?"
She suddenly lowered her voice and pulled up another light screen.
"I’ve already screened the new Beast Husband candidates. This one controls seventy percent of the Federation’s medical industry, and that one’s family monopolizes Interstellar shipping..."
Su An’an’s eyes reddened slightly, and the butterfly-like wings on her back trembled gently.
"Sister, you should just pick a Beast Husband that you like. You don’t have to think about helping me."
"Now that I have the power, of course I’m going to give you the very best."
Alita’s fingertips brushed through her hair. Her gaze held both relief and a hint of imperceptible guilt.
The timid little girl who used to hide behind her could now stand on her own.
But she always felt it wasn’t enough; she wanted to give her an even more solid foundation to rely on.
Su An’an held her hand, her butterfly wings gently encircling them both.
"Don’t worry, Sister. I’ll manage the assets in Zone B1 well. I definitely won’t let your investment go to waste."
A faint golden glimmer gathered at her fingertips and landed on the back of Alita’s hand.
"Besides, I’m the one who should be protecting you."
"Silly girl..."
Before Alita could finish, Ying Jiuyao’s urgent, low growl suddenly came from outside the window.
In his White Tiger form, he was perched on the watchtower.
He abruptly lifted his head, his tiger ears standing ramrod straight. "There’s movement!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a crimson tide surged over the distant horizon.
A Mutated Beast Group swept in like a black tide.
The three behemoths in the lead had vicious horns, and their Scale Armor glowed with a poisonous, purplish-red light.
Every step they took made the crystal chandeliers in the Administrative Hall rattle and clang.
Alita shot to her feet, her azure pupils contracting sharply.
"What are those monsters?!"
Su An’an’s fingertips gently brushed across the surveillance feed of the Gang Vine Wall.
"Just some toys from the Rebel Army."
She turned and gave her sister a reassuring smile.
"Don’t worry, the Gang Vine can—"
Before she could finish, a sharp CRACK echoed from the city wall, like an Ice Cone stabbing into an eardrum.
On the Light Screen, the Swan and butterfly wing totems on the Gang Vine Wall’s surface suddenly fractured into a spiderweb of cracks, and the flow of Energy instantly dimmed.
Inside the observation tower, Louis’s fangs glinted coldly in the shadows.
"Spore markers confirmed. Execute Plan A."
Lord Red’s light laugh drifted from the communicator.
"How are you finding the ’patch’ for the Gang Vine Wall?"
"The Blood Erosion Spores you developed are nothing short of perfect."
Louis’s finger paused on a button, and the beast pack suddenly changed direction as one.
"Mixed in with the maintenance materials from three days ago, their knack for chewing through energy nodes is better than a hyena’s."
The leading Blood Erosion Beast suddenly threw its head back and roared, its thick forelimbs slamming violently into the dimmest part of the wall.
BOOM!
The Gang Vine Wall exploded, leaving a gaping hole, and the black tide of beasts surged in, roaring.
A foul wind blasted them, and the butterfly wings on Su An’an’s back tensed abruptly.
"Don’t worry. Ying Jiuyao and the others can hold them off."
Seville slightly unfurled his Golden Wings, shielding Su An’an in their shadow.
Outside the window, the guards led by the Four Great Beast Husbands were already locked in a chaotic battle with the Mutated Beast Tide.
Ying Jiuyao’s tiger roar shattered the air, his ears pricking up sharply.
"Night Abyss! The left flank is yours!"
"Like I need you to command me?"
Night Abyss’s dragon tail whipped out with a sharp, air-splitting sound.
Three charging Mutant Beasts were instantly sent flying, smashing into the broken wall and turning into pulp.
"I’ll freeze the breach!"
Ice Crystals crackled as they formed at Lan Cangming’s fingertips, and a cold mist enveloped half the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
"This will hold for half an hour!"
"Burn to death!"
Fei Zhao’s Fox Fire fell like meteors from the heavens, burning gaping holes in the Mutated Beast Tide.
But even so, it wasn’t enough to completely stop the Mutated Beast Tide’s assault.
Su An’an stared at the rapidly fluctuating energy readings on the Light Screen, then suddenly turned around.
"They’re not enough. The Gang Vine Wall must be repaired immediately."
"No!"
Alita grabbed her wrist.
"Don’t you move. I’ll call my Personal Guard over."
"The Personal Guard will be useless. Only I can repair the Gang Vine Wall."
Su An’an gently pulled free from her sister’s grasp, a determined light shining in her eyes. "Sister, trust me."
Helpless, Alita could only look to Seville, hoping he could talk Su An’an out of it.
"I will protect her!"
Seville moved to stand behind Su An’an.
"Let’s go!"
Su An’an leaped out of the window. Her butterfly wings unfurled abruptly, and Phosphorus Powder burst in the moonlight like a halo of stars.
Seville’s Golden Wings spread open at the same time, protecting her closely.
Alita watched their backs as they charged toward the battlefield, her nails digging deep into her palms.
’That girl... she always saves the most dangerous path for herself!’
Su An’an pressed her palm to the ground, and the Gang Vine was instantly plated in golden patterns, striking back at the beast pack.
But when it touched the leading behemoth, it was seared by a purplish-black venom with a SIZZLE.
The vines blackened and withered at a visible rate.
Hiding in the shadows, Louis narrowed his eyes and let out a sinister, cold laugh.
"Su An’an, I had this corrosive serum prepared especially for you. How does it taste?"
Ying Jiuyao tore apart an attacking Blood Erosion Beast, and his White Tiger form spun around, his Amber Beast Eyes filled with anxiety.
"Anan! Get back!"
Night Abyss’s Long Zhua pressed down on her shoulder, his Black Scales bristling from the force.
"This is no time to be reckless!"
The ice wall Lan Cangming had created suddenly CRACKED, and his face was pale amidst the cold mist.
"My Energy is almost depleted!"
But Su An’an just shook her head gently, slowly pressing a palm to her lower abdomen.
"Little ones, could you lend your Female Mother a little bit of power?"
A faint golden light spilled from between her fingers.
Two palm-sized figures with fluttering, translucent little wings flew out from Su An’an’s abdomen.
One of the infants vibrated its butterfly-like wings.
The Phosphorus Powder it scattered landed on the Gang Vine Wall, releasing a blinding pink light.
The other infant spread its swan-like Wings.
It sang a holy syllable, and golden musical notes swirled around Seville.
Seville’s Golden Wings unfurled abruptly. A purifying hymn poured down like a river of stars, intertwining with the golden light to form a hurricane.
The Gang Vine tendrils were instantly covered in Divine Patterns and lashed out to strangle the enemy with overwhelming force.
Amidst the mournful shrieks of the beast pack,
Su An’an’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she swayed.
"Anan!"
Seville caught her by the waist, his amber pupils filled with alarm.
"You are forbidden from overdrawing your Divine Power again!"
Her blood-stained hand pressed against her abdomen. Through the golden light, the faint phantoms of twins could be seen. Her voice was as light as a feather:
"I-I’m fine!"
In the observation tower, Louis’s scarlet beast eyes constricted abruptly.
The phantoms of the two infants in his eyepiece made his eyes ache.
"The source of the Purification Power... is actually two Divine Fetuses?!"
Over the communicator, Lord Red’s breathing suddenly quickened.
"What did you say?"
"She’s pregnant!" Louis’s voice trembled with disbelief.
"And she’s carrying Divine Fetuses that can purify radiation!"
