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!”

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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hard work love the story ^_^
