In a horrified manner, System 2d14 gazed at the sight of countless black, twisting vines dominating the city and shouted, 
  
[Ah ah ah! Lord Host! W-we need to run! There’s an emergency life-jacket in the newcomer’s package…]
  
“Calm down~”The dark-haired youth waved him off with a smile. “Those outside are nothing but a meager part of myself.”
  
System 2d14 couldn’t believe it, [Lord Host, what are you saying?!]
  
The dark-haired youth, “They’re just my limbs, see?” 

Saying this, he commanded all the black vines within his field of vision to cease what they’d been preoccupied with. Every single one of them began swaying their bodies; signalling their friendly intent.
  
System 2d14, [...]
  
The youth quirked up a corner of his mouth, revealing an almost predatory smile. He was anticipating his precious system’s reaction.
  
A moment later, System 2d14 was finally able to give a coherent response,
  
“Wow! L-Lord Host is really really powerful!”
  
The dark-haired youth’s smile faltered a smidge, “...” Why wasn’t this stupid system of his wailing in fear?
  
Starry-eyed System 2d14, [Does this mean Lord Host has some kind of extension type ability?]
  
The dark-haired youth, “That isn’t an ability, that’s… you know what? Nevermind.” Why was his painstakingly crafted prank ineffective!?

A certain alien grumpily turned away from the window and walked into the living room. The system in his brain was still chattering endlessly in excitement,
  
[For Lord Host to be able to control so many tentacles simultaneously, Lord Host must be very powerful! This’ll take up at least half the city area, right? Surprisingly, Lord Host is one of those legendary, god-tier saviours! Perhaps, it won’t even take us that long to climb into the ranks of B-level saviours! Lord Host, are we currently cleaning out the pollution…]
  
As if he had nothing else left to live for, a certain alien collapsed onto his bed. Using the pillow to cradle his head, he complained to himself, “There’s a mental patient here that has escaped! Who can come to take it away!”
  
System 2d14 was still fantasizing of the future, [Considering Lord Host’s efficiency, we can probably finish this mission within the year!]
  
A certain alien, “I just need three more hours!”
  
On every corner of the Earth.
  
Influenced by their leader’s peeved mood, the black vines accelerated even more!

With each branch that was pulled back, the sky regained another shade of blue; over time, becoming clearer and clearer. Now, in the atmosphere that was no longer obscured by smog, one could see that the black vines were gradually retracting their branches.

Then, the large vine that had been receiving it’s comrades finally welcomed its last branch, taking the lead in completing their mission!

In order to save time, it plummeted to the ground, smashing upon impact!

Boom! Its huge body instantly burst into black liquid, flooding the streets that led towards the landfill!
  
The army making way looked on as the black tsunami headed for them, they all hurriedly dropped their weapons and fled to the skyscrapers on the sides! The slower soldiers were instantly engulfed by the black current, but within seconds, were rescued by the black appendages that suddenly appeared on the surface before  promptly being thrown aside.
  
The same hair raising phenomena was constantly being replayed within urban areas around the world!

An hour and a half later...
  
Only when the black vines in the city had completely vanished, did the 6 million soldiers —who’d abandoned their weapons and armor to hideaway in the skyscrapers— poke  their heads out. Cautiously, they came out one by one.
  
Every now and then, they suspiciously observed the clear blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds before finally reorganizing their forces with much difficulty. Once they picked  up their scattered weapons on the road, the ashen-faced soldiers proceeded to carry out their orders from the Federation of Nations and hastily made way to the landfill again.
  
Before they could even step foot in  the slums, from its distance, they could see a black mountain suddenly emerge from the landfill!

It stood towering and intimidating among the community of buildings in the low-rise slums.
  
"All troops immediately rush to the landfill!" An official from the Federation of Nations ordered from behind the big screen.

When the soldiers heard the order, they all revealed dull, morose expressions as they charged towards the mountain!

Passing through the slums that were completely devoid of black worms, the soldiers realized that there were three smaller, black vesicles in front of the giant mountain. Each of them were around 40-50 meter domes that took up less than 5% of the space in the landfill. The remaining 95% was occupied by the mountain behind them.
  
Every giant vesicle was linked together by several thick, black 'veins', that were constantly shrinking, wriggling, and pumping, as if they were delivering nutrients to one another.
  
The official representing the Federation of Nations stood behind the big screen as he shouted passionately, 
  
"This must be the black worm’s evolution! Since they’ve absorbed all the nutrients on this planet, now, in those vesicles, they’ll nurture an even stronger mutant species!"

Meanwhile, the situation of the  female reporter from Channel 3 who made a name for herself in the landfill, influenced many more daring journalists and reporters to crowd around the landfill amidst the soldiers. All in an attempt to broadcast live to audiences worldwide!
  
Reporters, "Dear viewers, what you’re currently watching is a live broadcast brought to you by XXX reporter of XX television station! Behind me is the 'man-eating black alien worm' that has wreaked havoc on this planet for the last couple of days...”

The official from the Federation of Nations noticed that the soldiers didn’t dare to fire at the bubbling vesicles so he immediately commanded,
  
"Gather your forces together, traverse  to every landfill, and open fire at the largest vesicle there is! We must destroy whatever creature is currently being bred before it emerges!

Sacrifice everything, hold back nothing, this is an all out assault! The moment those things break out of their shells is the moment our planet falls!”
  
And so, all of the quantum cannons were aimed at the black mountain in the landfill.
  
“3, 2, 1, Fire!” The official roared.
  
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
  
Explosions resembling rain hitting the ground, began to resound.

And yet, of the quantum shells that managed to hit their target —without exception— all of them seemed to have been thrown into a swamp, slowly sinking without having done any damage to the black mountain.
  
“Continue firing! I don’t believe that it can keep this up forever!” The official anxiously yelled.
  
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
  
At the same time, everything that was happening was captured by those reporters who were risking their lives to stream the news onto the television sets of every household. Practically everyone was seated in front of their TVs, watching as the fate of the world played out in front of them!
  
In the hotel.
  
Because of System 2d14’s insistence, a certain alien was now sitting in front of a TV set following the news as well.
  
System 2d14, [Lord Host! Whatcha doing in the landfill?]
  
A certain alien, “Sorting out the trash.”
  
System 2d14, [When they bomb you, don’t you feel any pain?]
  
A certain alien, “No.”
  
System 2d14, [Lord Host! All of those black things, are they really a part of your body?]
  
A certain alien with a face full of black lines, “Yes.”
  
System 2d14 was a tad bit worried, [Then Lord Host! When we return to the Salvation Alliance, does that mean we’re bringing them all back?]
  
A certain alien, “...”
  
The dark-haired youth couldn’t help but to imagine a certain majestic scene:

The Salvation Alliance Town was originally operating in peace and harmony, when suddenly the Main System announced a message,

[Ding! System zz2d14’s Host has returned!] Following that, a huge pile of black, putrid-looking mud descended from the sky! With a “pa!” it went splat, right over the whole Town! The next day, an explosive piece of news came out: The Salvation Alliance has been decimated!
  
A certain alien, “Actually… your name fits you quite well, the homophone suits you.”
  
System zz2d14 was pleasantly surprised, [Which part of it, Lord Host?]
  
A certain alien, “...Nevermind, just take it as me not saying anything.” Really, truly stupid[1] to the extreme.
  
Meanwhile, Z Planet.
  
The battle between the humans and the Zergs was still at a deadlock, Huo Li led many attacks on the Zerg King’s defensive encirclement but to no avail.
  
Huo Li, “099, how’s the situation on B Planet?”
  
System 099, [Lord Host, according to B Planet’s 16th SOS message, the black alien worms are currently incubating the next generation of several tens of thousands of super-enhanced alien mutants!]
  
Huo Li was silent for a moment, before ordering the battle-ship battalion's mothership:
  
"Keep the offensive formation and firepower intact, keep attacking, regardless of what happens next."

Once Huo Li stopped speaking, the mothership headed towards the heart of where all the Zergs were gathered to protect the Zerg King and charged!

Only to see that the majority of his mental power was still sustaining the blue barrier at the battalion’s front and the minority was divided to create a layer of protection around itself, as if it was a faint ball of blue light, it flew towards the Zerg’s main army!

The blue ball of light shot into the Zerg wave and vanished.

B Planet
  
Just as the millions of troops focused on bombarding the black mountains with whatever projectiles they had left, the smallest of the vesicles silently transformed as more and more black pus got pumped into the huge mountain. While this was happening, the outer layer of the smallest vesicle became thinner and thinner. 

"Attention all soldiers! Immediately cease the attack on the huge vesicles and fully bombard the smallest black vesicle in each dump! The monsters in those small vesicles are about to burst out!" Officials in front of the big screen roared.

However, before the soldiers even had the time to switch targets, that huge mountain, like it could hear what the people said, instantly extended innumerable black vines and swept up all the quantum particle cannons before twisting them into scrap metal!
  
The outer mold of the smallest vesicles continued to thin!

At this time, the tens of billions of occupants on this planet stared at the live broadcast being streamed onto their TVs, holding their breath, they watched this terrifying scene.
  
End of Chapter 5

------

The author has something to say:
Little theatre:
A certain alien grinned mischievously, “Aren’t I intimidating?”
Starry-eyed, System 2d14 expressed, [Wow! Lord Host is amazing!]
A certain alien, “...”
Huo Li, “How much damage did you do?”
A certain alien was very proud, “16 SOS messages!”

In Chinese, the number 2 can mean stupid or idiotic because of it’s similar pronunciation with an insult. [1]

  1. The military in this country/world sure sounds dumb. They're awfully territorial. Has no one pointed out that no one has been harmed, and now the trash has been cleaned up? The tentacles haven't eaten anyone either. I wonder what's going to happen to all of the trash at the end.
