Chapter 25: The Efficacy of the Bloodthirsty Zerg
[Bloodthirsty Zerg]
[Species: Zerg]
[Combat Power: Below Rank]
[Skills: Parasitism, Sanguine Rejuvation, Hematophagy, Blood Wings]
Wh Charles initially saw that the creature was below rank, he thought it was a failed experimtal subject. However, upon examining its skills, he realized just how ignorant he had be...
He couldn't believe such a thing ev existed!
[Sanguine Rejuvation: The host parasitized by the Bloodthirsty Zerg can, upon killing another lifeform, choose to absorb the victim's life force to either hance their own strgth or accelerate their recovery from injuries.]
[Hematophagy: An exclusive ability granted to the host parasitized by the Bloodthirsty Zerg, allowing them to manipulate the blood of their emies. This can result in anything from temporary paralysis to the complete exsanguination of the victim, leaving them as nothing more than a dried-up husk!]
As for Blood Wings, they able the host to sprout wings fueled by blood ergy. The speed of these wings depds tirely on the amount of blood ergy available. If sufficit, they can ev facilitate spatial jumps.
All these abilities serve as a prelude to the parasitic skill, which can have both beficial and detrimtal effects.
On the one hand, it can assist the host in refining their bloodline and extracting blood ergy to the fullest extt. On the other hand, it can become the most horrifying torture, leaving the victim in a state where death would be a mercy.
In summary, this creature is a highly functional Zerg. The fact that four of them could exist is already impressive.
Charles gtly touched the small, red insect and smiled as he allowed it to ter his body.
In the next momt, a sse of fullness veloped his heart.
Behind him, the Overlord's wings began to faintly shimmer with a red hue, indicating the slight amplification provided by the Bloodthirsty Zerg. Should he utilize the blood ergy, his power could pottially rise by an tire rank.
Originally, Charles possessed upper-tier third-rank strgth. With this hancemt, he would ascd to lower-tier fourth-rank. Ev in the vast domain, possessing a fourth-rank power would classify him as a formidable individual.
Gazing at the remaining three Bloodthirsty Zergs in his hand, Charles decided to allocate two to his female slaves. Although the Bloodthirsty Zergs wouldn't be as unreservedly beficial to them as they were to him, they would still hance their survival capabilities and provide an additional trump card.
So, after all this time, these creatures turned out to be trump card insects.
Exchanging three drops of Dark Essce for these four Bloodthirsty Zergs was an absolute bargain!
Moreover, Rose had assured him that he could request any further needs, provided they did not exceed her valuation.
"Relax, darling~ Let this little creature merge into your bloodstream. Your strgth should reach upper-tier third-rank," Charles said with a smile, handing a Bloodthirsty Zerg to Catherine.
Catherine did not resist, allowing the red insect to ter her body.
In the next instant, the Que's wings also emitted red radiance, roughly indicating that her strgth had indeed reached upper-tier third-rank.
In just over half a month, their territory's power had leaped through numerous levels, reaching fourth-rank combat strgth.
It was noteworthy that, in their regional channel, the highest combat strgth was merely upper-tier second-rank.
...
Sere Forest, Eve's Elv Woods.
Eve inttly watched Amy, as if anticipating something.
Her robe was stained with various hues of blood, and her lips bore traces of fresh blood, clearly indicating that she had personally gaged in combat with dark creatures.
The Crimson Tide hadn't caused significant casualties in their realm, but the only concern was the ever-worrisome Amy standing before her.
Suddly, the verdant aura a Amy dissipated completely, replaced by a black-blue hue, resembling a fall elf.
Eve glanced at the Eye of Data and finally exhaled a sigh of relief.
It had worked.
[Amy]
[Species: Dark Elf]
[Combat Power: Lower-tier Third Rank]
[Skills: Nature's Blood Rain, Twisted Hand, Will of Nature, Death Om Archery, etc.]
[Description: A dark elf who has not fall into darkness. As the most loyal dark elf to the Elv Que, she will hide in the shadows and become a blade wielded by Her Majesty Eve!]
"My esteemed Majesty, I apologize for not awaking in time to shield you from danger, forcing you to personally combat those twisted dark creatures." Amy said, lowering her head with a hint of shame.
Eve gtly patted Amy's head with an affectionate smile. "It's alright, it's alright. You are the only third-rank geral in our Elv Woods. From now on, I'll be counting on you for protection."
Hearing this, Amy nodded vigorously. She th cast a cold glance at the other elves who had their heads bowed, saying nothing.
As long as Her Majesty the Que still trusted her, nothing else mattered.
Meanwhile, Eve felt a sse of pride seeing Amy reach the third rank. Without a care for others, she immediately started bragging in a private chat on Parchmt.
[Eve: Hmph, my poor fiancé. Your Que has already acquired a third-rank elv minion. It won't be long before you are completely left in the dust!"]
Perhaps by serdipity, Charles was just about to contact her, as he promptly st a reply:
[Charles: Quite impressive, to have secured a third-rank minion so swiftly. But tell me, my dear, does this act of provocation mean you're getting a bit too confidt?]
Eve's lips curved into a captivating smile as she slowly typed her response.
[Eve: Yes, yes, although you've already become a Gold-tier Overlord, my elv tribe is just a late bloomer. It won't be long before I surpass you.]
[Eve: By the way, how many wom do you have now? You hav't be promiscuous, have you?]
Eve was guinely concerned about this. As a noble in the real world, it was common for young lords to receive sex education early, sometimes ev purchasing a well-trained slave from the black market. It wasn't a new concept, and she could accept it.
But promiscuity is absolutely off-limits—that's the bottom line!
Of course, she didn't expect him to be tirely without wom. Not everyone was a pure-hearted warrior like her.
Giv her fiancé's strgth, if he didn't have any wom, Eve would actually find it suspicious.
...
Charles quietly st over photos of Catherine and Medusa.
[Charles: Just two slutty slaves, there's still room for you.]
[Eve: Wow, these two girls are almost as beautiful as I am. You pervert, you've probably filled them with dless amounts of your sem by now.]
Charles neither confirmed nor died it—wasn't it obvious, my fiancée?
From her words, it seemed like she didn't mind?
After all, being the top one, having only slept with two wom since his transmigration was a good thing for Eve.
Any man with power would want to build a grand harem and indulge in dless debauchery, wouldn't they?
Their conversation evtually circled back to flirtatious banter, continuing until Eve climaxed just from their chat.
Charles chuckled.
A slutty fiancée indeed...
Another half month passed.
The Sere Forest underwt a transformation after this catastrophe. Ev those who couldn't advance to Silver-tier Overlord in half a year in the previous life emerged this time a.
Operative 438, after Charles, became the second Silver-tier Overlord.
As the leader of the forest, the Zerg territory continued to evolve day by day.
First, Medusa and Charles fully stepped into lower-tier fourth-rank. With the Bloodthirsty Zerg, they could ev achieve mid-tier fourth-rank strgth.
Catherine was a bit slower but had also reached upper-tier third-rank. Although, ev with the Bloodthirsty Zerg, she couldn't yet achieve fourth-rank power.
But she is a full-time research institution, so this level of strgth is tirely adequate.
"Master, the true journey on the Contint of Overlord begins after reaching the fourth rank. From this stage onward, it is esstial to consolidate and master our power." Medusa elaborated, adorned in a purple robe, her dark snake tail trailing behind Charles as she moved.
"In other words, it might take us two to three years to ascd to the fifth rank. So you must be prepared for an extded period of power consolidation."
Charles nodded in agreemt with Medusa's insightful observation, his expression one of complete concurrce.
Indeed, in his previous life, it had tak him two months to attain the first rank, six months to reach the second rank, and three years to formally step into the third rank.
As for wh he achieved the sixth rank as a Serpt Overlord, Charles could no longer recall the exact timing. He only knew that he had spt an extsive period traversing the path of the Overlord.
By the time he had reached the sixth rank, the world had already spiraled into a state of madness and chaos...
Smiling, he remarked, "Don't worry, Medusa. I am well aware of this necessity. Therefore, over the coming year, we must judiciously allocate our time."
"The overseers are prepared, correct? Let's descd and inspect."
