"Kaka, I still think we should go take a look. We can't just abandon the little ones like this."

"...But, Empress, the little ones would definitely want you to be in a safe place. That's why our little ones keep evolving."

Kaka tried to stop Lin Mo, the first time Kaka had ever directly resisted Lin Mo's will.

"Then how about we take a look from afar? We'll leave immediately if something seems wrong! Let the Overseer look."

"Alright, alright, but if something goes wrong, you must immediately let the little ones take you away."

From afar, Lin Mo saw the seemingly dead star system. Everything was a dark mass, and all the planets looked the same, just like the planets devoured by the little ones.

Kaka looked tense, focused on any unusual movements in the surroundings.

"Wait! The signal from those two little ones? It's appearing again?"

Kaka was stunned, then frowned. Things had reached a point he couldn't understand. Why had the connection to the Leviathan little ones linked to the Empress suddenly broken?

If the little ones had been friendly before, they now seemed neutral, not controlled by the other side.

The two previously disconnected Leviathan little ones were now floating silently in mid-air, guarded by Hydralisks in a complete battle formation, ready to attack any life form entering their territory.

"Empress, it seems we can take them back again. Wait a moment, Kaka will try."

"It's working, I've contacted the two little ones, wait!"

Kaka froze, and his avatar immediately turned into a pile of minced meat. At the same time, Kaka's consciousness echoed in Lin Mo's mind—Empress! Get out of here.

[Greetings, new Overmind. My name is Lala. As you can see, I am an Overlord, and I obey my master, our Empress.]

Lin Mo frowned, feeling the voice constantly echoing in her mind.

"What's your purpose?"

Lin Mo didn't sense any malice in its consciousness, meaning it probably needed her help with something. Of course, Lin Mo didn't make any silly proposals like swearing allegiance.

[We would like you to help us with a small favor, but I wonder if you would be willing to help us once. I have already placed my coordinates in the consciousness of your Overlord.]

"Kaka?"

[Is that its name? Haha, what a nostalgic moment. So, can you come and help us?]

"Kaka? You're influencing Kaka?"

[Are you talking about my junior? I gave it some new knowledge. I believe it will take a little time for it to fully recover. After all, if it were here, we wouldn't be able to communicate like this.]

"Is that so? Then release it now, or I'll leave right now."

Lin Mo closed her eyes. She was simply too lazy to use her brain. Although Lin Mo wasn't very smart, wasn't the other party's purpose a little too obvious?

The other party's arrogance from the beginning had been a condescending, disdainful attitude, but why didn't it directly attack and force her to agree?

That meant it didn't have a direct opportunity to seize her, meaning it was actually afraid of something she possessed.

What could it be afraid of?

It was nothing more than what she had and it didn't: her ability to move, to build new hatcheries anywhere, to create new Leviathan little ones.

The other party didn't have these things. They could only rely on these few planets to survive and couldn't leave.

Although its power was strong, it was actually an immovable fortress. They could only expand outward in a point-like manner, while Lin Mo could find the most suitable location and plunder high-energy planets.

That was the foundation of its fear, her ability to leave and start mass production.

[...]

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

[Haha, you're right, but don't you think it's too late? Our little ones are already surrounding you.]

"So, you think that by controlling Kaka, you already have an advantage over me?"

Lin Mo smiled, "I wonder, have you ever seen a magical civilization? Or have you ever heard of high-energy crystals that can activate even me?"

[...Alright, Overmind, I hope you can still maintain this innocence after you meet my little ones.]

"Hehe, you haven't heard of it? Then, as the Overmind of the little ones, I should show you these things."

As she spoke, Lin Mo disappeared into the Leviathan little one. With a flash of golden light, Lin Mo gently landed on the Leviathan little one's head. Calling it a head, it was almost the size of a plain.

[...]

Lala's originally lazy body suddenly stiffened. That small figure! How could it be!

It was speechless, filled with complex emotions: grievance, disbelief.

Why did that girl look exactly like that figure in its memories? Empress, do you know what Lala has been doing all these years...?

—No! That's not Her Majesty!

All little ones, don't attack!

No, even without its order, all the little ones stopped in their tracks.

But why were they so similar? Even the tone of voice. If we weren't enemies, would that girl's voice have that hint of playfulness?

I really want to know.

"Ahem, watch closely, Lala. This is how magic is used! [Explosion!]"

Facing the countless Hydralisk little ones, Lin Mo smiled. Although she didn't know why they hadn't opened fire immediately, Lin Mo didn't care.

Each Bladewing little one launched by Kaka's modified Hydralisk little ones had the power of Explosion magic. Otherwise, relying solely on Lin Mo, even with Explosion magic, facing the boundless sea of insects would only be a fleeting moment.
