Lan Mu's mind went blank for a moment. He really didn't know what was going on.
"Why do you call me Empress?"
The Empress calmly replied, "You created me, so you're my direct ruler."
Lan Mu thought for a moment and understood. She was the Empress of the bug race, and also the mother of all the bugs under her command. He had implanted her thoughts, creating a higher-level ruler, and even said that he had created her and provided his own energy for her to grow.
Therefore, under these circumstances, she, the ruler of a higher level, became her Queen Mother.
However, this name was too painful, so Lan Mu immediately corrected it. "Just call me Ruler … No! Call me Master, don't call me Empress. "
"Oh …" The Empress agreed without hesitation. It was just a name, and the bugs didn't care about it.
"Then I'll call you … Do you have a name?" Lan Mu asked.
Of course, the Empress didn't. She was the bug swarm! Those bugs were the consciousness she had given them. There was only obedience between the bug ranks, no communication. What name?
Lan Mu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a good name. Looking at the beautiful loli in front of him who was as beautiful as a Nine-tailed Fox, if the name was too bad, it would definitely be awkward.
"You can name it yourself! As long as it's a human name! "He had late-stage naming difficulties, so he didn't want to mess things up.
"Elise." She didn't even need a second to come up with a name for herself.
"How do you get it?" Lan Mu asked curiously.
Elise said, "Randomly choose from the human memories that I've already obtained."
"…" Lan Mu thought for a moment. Although it was random, it sounded pretty good. At least it was better than him getting it himself. If it were him, he would probably name himself Blue Bug, Little Sister Blue, or something like that. The best case scenario would be Blue Moon. Nothing could be better …
"Okay, I'll call you Elise. At least it's an Earthling name."
Lan Mu asked again, "Why did you choose a human image? I think you can take any body, right? "
Elise said, "Earthlings are the only intelligent life forms that I've plundered. I've absorbed their wisdom and knowledge, so they're my only image reference. Other than that, my bug form is more suitable for battle. Does Master want to see it? "
"Uh … Don't!"
Lan Mu hurriedly stopped Elise. The loli in front of him was so beautiful. It was hard to imagine that such a girl would suddenly turn into an insect.
"Earth is the only civilization that you have plundered? Have you never come into contact with other intelligent races? "Lan Mu asked.
Elise said, "No."
"How did you get to the moon? Why do you want to destroy humanity? "Lan Mu asked.
"When I woke up, I already existed on the moon. At that time, humans had just stepped into this place. The existence of their life stimulated my consciousness, so I instinctively multiplied and stole human genes and resources," Elise said matter-of-factly.
Lan Mu continued to ask questions. He gradually understood the insectoids through their interactions, and with the information from various sources, he more or less knew what was going on.
Elise was sent to the moon by a certain existence, or rather, she was sent to Earth along with the moon. This existence should be the true creator of Elise, the insectoid overlord.
The insectoids were not anomalies. They were a civilization in the universe. One of them was a group, and Elise was one of them.
When Elise was on the moon, there were probably no humans on Earth yet. When the American astronauts discovered her after landing on the moon, a mechanism was triggered, and Elise was awakened.
The condition for her awakening was when an intelligent civilization developed space technology.
Under this mechanism, humanity was born in peace for tens of thousands of years. As they developed, they would enter the space industry sooner or later. With the technology, they would inevitably land on the moon. Landing on the moon would trigger Elise's awakening, and the insectoids would begin to multiply and grow stronger, finally destroying Earth.
This was a one-stop service. The insectoids had already calculated that Earth was suitable for the birth of a civilization, so they had prepared a death package for Earth.
As for why they didn't directly take over Earth instead of waiting for a civilization to emerge and enter space.
That was because the insectoids also needed knowledge. They also needed a higher external stimulus to evolve into a stronger race. If they only collected resources, wouldn't they become a mining race?
Every insectoid was Elise's agent. They stole genes and knowledge for Elise, recorded all kinds of dangerous information, filled up the adaptability of their race, and collected resources. All of this was to breed Elise into the strongest insectoid.
In fact, until Lan Mu came, Elise's breeding process was still in the early stages. She only controlled the insectoids through * * * *, and her body was nestled in the cocoon and fed by the entire race.
CANC was determined to trap the insectoids on the moon, racking their brains to come up with all kinds of ways to attack. In fact, this was a great help to Elise's growth.
If one day CANC ran out of tricks, she would order the insectoids to destroy the humans that were no longer useful.
It was very sad. This was also why resisting the insectoids was a slow death. CANC's 40 years of effort was equivalent to cultivating Elise.
If it wasn't for Lan Mu coming here, Elise would have to wait until humanity was completely destroyed before coming out of her cocoon.
An accident caused her to come out prematurely. After absorbing so many years of the race's accumulation, and Lan Mu's transformations provided her with energy, she was already very strong, but it was far from the form she should have been in.
Just like her image, she was still a young insectoid empress.
…
In a residential cabin on the surface of the moon, Reinhardt was very worried. He had just received information that the probes had found that all the insectoids were gathering towards the center of the moon. It was very clear that Erawen's group had forced the insectoids to the most important place.
Whether it was a success or a failure, there was still no news. Even Zero 12 was waiting on the side worriedly.
Zero 12 was a female. Her fake name was Sarah, and she was already 30 years old. The anomaly was an infinitely sharp blade with a thick back. It could cut through anything except Bastet metal, and the prerequisite was that the wielder could see the target. Because it didn't have any obvious side effects, it was allowed to be used with preachers.
"Zero 10! Look! "Sarah pointed at the Eye of Truth that suddenly lit up.
Reinhardt also saw it. This meant that someone had used the Teleportation Scepter to return.
A few seconds later, what appeared in front of him was only a single person. To be more precise, it was an angel.
"Where's Erawen?" seeing that only an angel had returned, Reinhardt's heart skipped a beat.
The one who had returned was Lan Mu. With a wave of his hand, Erawen's corpse was released. It could be seen that his fatal wounds were the bloody holes all over his body.
"Damn it, how did he die!" Sarah angrily shouted.
Lan Mu didn't mind the other party's tone and explained how Erawen died to the Spear of Death.
This was what he had learned from Elise. It was all the truth, but he had concealed the real result between him and Elise.
"The insectoids have been completely exterminated?" Reinhardt muttered. He didn't seem to be as excited as he had imagined and was instead carefully gathering Erawen's corpse.
The traces of the corpse were too obvious. He had indeed died to the effect of that spear.
Sarah angrily said: "I should've gone …"
"You'll only die faster if you go" Themis suddenly appeared on the screen.
Themis continued: "Sarah, take some people down there and make sure that the insectoids have been completely exterminated"
Sarah's mood was gloomy as she left.
Themis told Lan Mu: "Thank you for your help"
Lan Mu replied: "Hah … sign a soul contract with me, this is a relatively fair contract. You'll become my subordinates, and I'll fulfill one of your wishes as long as it's not excessive"
Themis seemed to have expected that Lan Mu would go straight to the point after the insectoids were exterminated, but she didn't think that there would be such a thing as a soul contract.
"CANC will not become an anomaly's subordinate, no agreement will work"
Lan Mu waved his hand and flew towards Earth: "Think about it carefully, I'll give you one day"
It wasn't that he didn't want to deal with the two preachers of CANC right here.
It was just that both his angelic and balrog transformations had been sucked dry by Elise, so it wasn't the right time to turn hostile.
Elise was currently inside his Space Ring, so he was currently worrying about what to do with her.
He didn't want to let her stay on the Moon to hinder CANC's strength, but to tear up their partnership and stab her in the back was too degrading.
Furthermore, he actually wanted to keep her by his side to make it easier for him to keep an eye on her.
Elise was too dangerous, her nature was to eat! Evolve! Reproduce!
It was fine if it was only a group of insects before, but now that she had gathered the power of the entire insectoid race, other than Lan Mu, no one would be able to stop her.
Most importantly, she didn't seem to be as obedient as Lan Mu had imagined. Although she called him 'master', that was only because she didn't care what he called her.
She wasn't absolutely obedient to Lan Mu, because Lan Mu had only used an illusion to deceive her, saying that he was her master.
But that wasn't the truth. Lan Mu couldn't naturally connect with her and form a mental network like a real insectoid, so he couldn't use the insectoid's method to control her.
So how to restrain Elise was a big problem, Lan Mu could only rely on coaxing …
"And she's too much of a glutton …"
"If I don't let her plunder Earth's resources, how am I going to feed her?"
…
