Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 710 Cleansing the Universe

The defeated Devourer didn't scream hysterically, but stared coldly at Li Chenzhou, as if looking at a dead man!

"What are you looking at?"

Li Chenzhou also glared at the Devourer and said with a faint smile:

"Are you thinking that you have a method of long-range communication, and that you have told your clansmen on this planet what you just saw, and they, in turn, will contact those two fleets and relay the information to them.

That way, they will return here and take down the space leading to our world... you call it a teleporter, right? They'll take down that teleporter and send people to our world to conquer our world, so that you can absorb the universe's origin?"

"What if that's the case? Even if you guessed it all, do you think you can resist us?"

After hearing Li Chenzhou's words, a trace of doubt flashed in the Devourer's dark golden eyes, and he asked.

"Your cosmic fleet may indeed be awesome, but... they can't enter inside the planet. Without a powerful fleet, do you really think you can easily take down our world?"

Li Chenzhou smiled and said:

"If we were so easy to deal with, you wouldn't need to summon those two fleets to reinforce my world, would you?"

"Human, you may be overestimating yourselves!"

The Devourer sneered:

"Our fleet went there simply because the branch nest there isn't a combat-type branch nest. It wasn't built for combat, so we had to send troops there!

Don't worry, even if the cosmic warships can't participate in the battle, it will still be easy to deal with you, just like humans slaughtering pigs. Some people are afraid to slaughter pigs, so they are helpless in the face of pigs. However, if you send a pig to a butcher holding a butcher knife, then... the pig's doomsday will arrive!

It is an honor that your butcher is on the way and will arrive soon. Are you... ready to die?"

"But that branch nest has a spatial通道 (kong jian tong dao - space channel) connecting to your main nest, right? If you really have the ability, why don't you send people from your main nest into my world? Why go the long way to find the space通道 (kong jian tong dao - space channel) from the Duoluo world to our world?"

Li Chenzhou asked with a smile.

"You... how do you know?"

The Devourer's face finally changed.

"Sorry, you are a prisoner, so you don't have the right to ask questions!"

Li Chenzhou sneered:

"But I guess you won't tell me some things I want to know, so let's get down to business!"

After speaking, Li Chenzhou nodded to Hu Tao. Hu Tao understood and immediately teleported the Devourer to a closed space. This was temporarily created by Hu Tao, specifically for Li Chenzhou to conduct experiments.

Li Chenzhou didn't know what the Devourer would become after absorbing the universe's origin, so naturally, he had to be fully prepared, lest he accidentally create a big monster that he couldn't kill. That would be too embarrassing.

As for the other Devourers, they were teleported to another closed space and temporarily locked up. Maybe they would be useful later.

After the Devourer was teleported over, before he could figure out where he was, several mechanical arms automatically popped out from the wall and controlled him. Then, he was fixed on the wall. Afterwards, many metal rings popped out from the wall, firmly箍 (gū - hoop) this Devourer from head to toe, making him unable to move.

"Human, don't waste your energy. You won't get anything from me. The great Devourer race will never..."

Seeing that he was fixed, although the Devourer didn't know what Li Chenzhou and the others were going to do, it wouldn't be a good thing. So he said with a ferocious expression. Before he could finish his words, Li Chenzhou appeared in front of him, still holding the bottle containing the universe's origin in his hand.

"I heard that... you collect the universe's origin to evolve your life form?"

Li Chenzhou looked at the bottle in his hand:

"Then... if it's not absorbed by the mother nest, but absorbed by you, will your life form change?"

"Human, do you want to try it?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the Devourer was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of ecstasy appeared in his eyes. He stared at Li Chenzhou and said:

"If this thing were in our place, it wouldn't be our turn to absorb it. This is only for the mother emperor to enjoy. Only the evolution of her life form can allow our entire Devourer race to evolve!!!"

"Mother Emperor?"

Li Chenzhou heard a new term again.

"She is the ancestor of all Devourers, and the emperor of all mother nests!"

The Devourer's eyes flickered with fanaticism:

"All Devourers are created by the mother nest, and all mother nests are the children of the mother emperor. The mother emperor is the faith of the Devourer race!"

"But you also said that this can only be enjoyed by your mother emperor. Why are you so happy when I say I'm going to give it to you?"

Li Chenzhou looked at the Devourer and said:

"It seems that you Devourers are not so loyal to the mother nest after all?"

"Don't waste your energy, human. Every Devourer is marked with a life mark by the mother nest at birth. It is impossible to betray!"

The Devourer's eyes flashed sharply.

"Not necessarily, right?"

Li Chenzhou suddenly smiled:

"At least I have seen Devourers who don't work for your mother emperor!"

"Human! Have you been in contact with the Controller?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the Devourer suddenly became excited. He stared at Li Chenzhou and asked.

"I said, you are a prisoner and don't have the right to ask questions!"

Li Chenzhou said with a faint smile. He was secretly shocked. His previous words were just to test the Devourer, but he didn't expect to have tricked him. It seemed that the Controller had some tricks.

"Human, if you cooperate with the Controller, your end will be even more miserable!"

The Devourer stared at Li Chenzhou:

"If we succeed, you can at least survive, because without other life, we Devourers cannot survive either!

But the Controller is different. They... will destroy all life!"

"Why?"

Li Chenzhou frowned and asked.

"Because the Controller wants to completely cleanse this universe and then recreate life. They don't just want to be Controllers, they also want to be gods!"

The Devourer said:

"So, if you cooperate with them, even if you can defeat us, eventually, after we Devourers disappear, they will turn around and deal with you.

What they want is a universe completely under their control, so they want to create life that completely obeys them, and all life in this universe will be destroyed by them! Do you understand?"

"Destroy all life and then recreate life? The Controller... is so playful?"

Li Chenzhou looked at the universe's origin in his hand and narrowed his eyes...
