"Please, Sovereign."

Lala's voice remained calm.

Lin Mo gritted her teeth and looked at her own little ones. It's just giving birth to a child for this guy! It won't kill me!

Bah! It's just being a temporary incubator! What's the big deal!

This is just the worst-case scenario. In three days at most, Guji's main force will arrive. I must deal with this Lala thoroughly.

Transform it into a hatching nest and have it produce larvae for me day and night!

Thinking this way, Lin Mo nodded with a trembling body.

Although Guji will be here soon, Lin Mo still felt a little panicked by the feeling of not being able to control her life temporarily.

"Empress!"

"Relax, Kaka, remember to take good care of the little ones~"

She blinked.

Kaka understood that acting impulsively now would only anger the opponent. Conserving strength and killing these alien insects as soon as the main force arrived was the right move.

In this moment of anger, Kaka decided that she must put all her efforts into strengthening the number of the little ones in the future!

In front of the little ones, Lin Mo followed Guji.

…

Led by Guji and protected by the Sovereign's Shield, Lin Mo arrived at a dark, sticky underground cave covered in fungal creep.

Countless tentacles seemed excited, perhaps because of Lin Mo's arrival.

"Sovereign, please cooperate. You can turn off the Sovereign's Shield now."

"...So, what do you want me to cooperate with you to do?"

"Hehe, haven't I already told you? Alright, I know what you're thinking. Don't try to outsmart me. I've been deducing this moment for who knows how many years. So, you should just cooperate obediently."

Lala seemed to have seen through Lin Mo's tricks. She gently controlled the surrounding tentacles and brought them in front of Lin Mo.

They coalesced into a face that somewhat resembled Kaka's.

"Alright, Sovereign, I have already sent all your alien insects back. So, you must restrain your little ones, or things will be difficult. You should know that there is a reason why that planet is there."

Her words were clearly meaningful. After all, it was still their territory.

Lala wasn't afraid that Lin Mo would do anything unusual now. She had already calculated everything. Apart from being taken as the Empress's incubator, she had no other choice.

She lifted her foot and slowly walked inside. What she saw was a blob of mucus suspended in mid-air. Lin Mo was shocked. Inside, she felt an aura that was somewhat similar to her own.

The Zerg's Nexus!

At this moment, Lala's main body crawled out.

Countless droplets of mucus dripped down, looking a little disgusting.

"Sovereign, please come here."

"..."

Lin Mo stood still, cursing Lala in her heart. This wasn't following the script. Shouldn't she be showing off her plans for so many years at this time?

Hadn't she been lonely all these years by herself?

Didn't she have the urge to tell her something?

Seeing that Lin Mo wasn't cooperating, Lala didn't say anything.

She gently released a ripple. The next moment, the blob of green mucus in front of Lin Mo gently emitted green wave-like ripples, and the air twisted under its influence.

But when the ripple reached Lin Mo's Sovereign's Shield, there was a small crisp sound.

It was so clear in the quiet air. Lin Mo was shocked and looked over. Sure enough, it had cracked.

Crap!

Like a chain reaction, the center shattered, and pieces fell to the ground with a clatter, turning into nothingness.

Lin Mo subconsciously hugged her arms, like a pitiful little loli who had been tricked out of her clothes and could only tearfully look on.

"Sovereign, please cooperate a little. Please honor your agreement."

"Otherwise, I might do something you don't like."

As she spoke, tentacles rose from the ground around Lala, spinning around Lin Mo.

They swayed back and forth, as if hinting at something.

"..."

"Sovereign, you don't want to try these things, do you?"

Lin Mo's mouth twitched. For some reason, seeing these tentacles, Lin Mo suddenly didn't panic. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she was seeing the Nydus Worm for the first time.

This feeling was too strange and had no basis.

"What...are these?"

Although she felt that these were all fake, Lin Mo couldn't help but ask. That feeling was like knowing that she shouldn't do it anymore, but, but!

She just couldn't control herself!

"Hehe, alright, I will communicate with you slowly. Now, please come and meet our Empress."

Lin Mo swallowed.

Just as Lala finished speaking, the blob of green energy in front of her seemed to come alive and rushed towards Lin Mo like crazy.

Splat—

I'm screwed!

Lin Mo's pupils immediately dilated, then began to dim.

That touch of red began to quickly recede, and gently, a touch of gold began to rise in her eyes.

"Did it succeed?" A tense, deep voice suddenly sounded from Lala's side.

"Haven't you already felt it?" Lala suppressed her excitement and cherished the faint, thread-like connection within her body.

That was the Empress's aura!

"Then can we build structures now? But my restrictions are still not lifted, and my memories of that aspect are still blank."

"...I don't know. This is also the first time I've done these things. Let's leave it to time. Watch over those alien insects carefully. Don't let them escape. I will monitor this Sovereign's aura here. If she gets lost, I will notify you to destroy all those alien insects!"

Having experienced the Empress's death once, they knew how violent the Swarm could be.

How murderous.

It was entirely driven by the Empress's impulse to kill everything. All living beings would be judged as enemies.

Now, the biggest fear was that Lin Mo hadn't completely fallen asleep.

The next moment, Lala was stunned. Behind Lin Mo, dark tentacles erupted like tree roots.

They appeared out of nowhere on the ground beneath her feet.

"What is this? Isn't she already asleep?" Lala couldn't figure it out. Why could this Empress summon tentacles from under her feet at any time! This was too strange!

Moreover, with such weak combat power, it seemed that they had no other use besides binding, right?

Wait, binding, it couldn't be the method she was thinking of…

——

A white-haired girl with golden pupils was pouting unhappily, staring with dead fish eyes at the huge Cerebrate in front of her. Her small feet, without any restraint, kicked the Overlord larva under her butt again and again.

"Is it no good, Lala?"

A cute, murmuring voice floated over.

The fat Cerebrate in front of the girl scratched its head anxiously.

"No, Empress. It's impossible to share your senses. Your body doesn't support any modifications. So, it's impossible to make any of these a part of your body!"

In front of the Cerebrate was a wriggling, gray tentacle that looked like a chinchilla.

"Okay, okay, that's no fun. Every time I go out to play, I have to bring you along to help me control it."
