Chapter 584: Chapter 270: Light Cannon’s Power, Electrical Energy Adaptation Sample 1 (Part 2)

There was even a risk of being worn down by the long-range attacks of the Reproductive Armor Mechas and slowly harvested if they landed on the surface.

If that happened, the Multi-Emperor Alliance’s ultimate goal would be shattered, planting a volatile seed for internal strife and dissent among them.

"Can’t we speed it up? It’s only five in the afternoon now. There are still seven hours until midnight. Can it be restored to its peak state before then?"

Lin Feng glanced at the time and pleaded.

Ling Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"It’s possible, but it would consume the Spiritual Energy from a Mother Empress Purple Crystal Brain Marrow..."

The core brain marrow of an Early-stage Mother Empress could increase the Spiritual Attribute Value cap by five hundred points for someone at the Early Tier Three stage, which was equivalent to a minor upgrade within that stage.

Even if it wasn’t of much use to Lin Feng, his other team members desperately needed it.

Wasting it here was truly a bit of an extravagance.

Seeing the reluctance written all over Lin Feng’s face, Ling Yi smiled and continued,

"Of course, there is another, faster way."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to elaborate.

Ling Yi shrugged and pointed to her own head.

"And that is to use the Spiritual Power in my body to rapidly recharge the depleted Prototype Machine."

"However, I’ll need to rest for a while afterward and won’t be able to use my Realm Power for a short time."

Lin Feng thought for a moment. He looked at Jiang Yun’er, who was walking toward them after cleaning the mutated tissue off her body, then nodded and made his decision.

"Let’s go with your Spiritual Power then. If we run into an emergency later, I can just absorb a Mother Empress Brain Marrow. If we don’t, then we’ll have saved it."

Ling Yi nodded.

"Alright."

The moment she finished speaking, Ling Yi glanced at Jiang Yun’er, who was approaching from behind. The aura and energy fluctuations emanating from her quickly caught Ling Yi’s attention.

She took a deep breath, sniffed the air, and the corners of her mouth curved up into a playful smile.

"So, did you manage to contact that Eastern Mother Empress?"

Jiang Yun’er’s face instantly paled several shades. Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead and back. After suppressing her intense nervousness, she swallowed hard and nodded in acknowledgment.

She knew full well that, having been parasitized, she had no secrets from Ling Yi.

The other woman only needed to use her Spiritual Means to scan the parasite that had assimilated with the nerves in her neck to know everything she had done.

"It sent me a secret spiritual message, extending an olive branch, right as we were withdrawing from the Underground Hive after successfully killing an Early-stage Mother Empress."

"It wants..."

When Jiang Yun’er finished whispering the whole story, Ling Yi and Lin Feng exchanged a look, and both of them broke into a smile.

Ling Yi said nonchalantly,

"You did very well. You must go to the meeting at midnight. While you’re at it, you can leak some unimportant intel—for example, that our equipment is about to get better and that the defensive firepower at Yunxia Ridge will be even stronger."

"You can also tell the Mid-stage Perfection Eastern Mother Empress about the nuclear bomb."

"Let it know that taking Yunxia Ridge by brute force is now a fool’s hope."

Jiang Yun’er nodded.

"It promised to give me a Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress before the fall of Yunxia Ridge, for me to kill so I can advance to Tier Three..."

"And that?"

Ling Yi pursed her lips.

"It knows that after the failure of the Capital sacrifice, it has to pay a hefty price upfront to win you over to its side again."

"So the offer of promotion is real."

"This Multi-Emperor Alliance, with three Mid-stage Mother Empresses and six Early-stage ones, has a fairly balanced distribution of power."

"Outside Yunxia Ridge, two Mid-stage Mother Empresses are up against four Early-stage ones. As long as those four weaker ones stick together, the southern and eastern Mid-stage Mother Empresses won’t have a chance to kick them while they’re down."

"But the problem is, Lin Feng’s successful decapitation strike this time has created a crack in the mutual protection of the four Early-stage Mother Empresses..."

"Furthermore, the surprise attacks and kills by the Tier Two Corps have already proven that not even the Mid-stage Mother Empresses can guarantee their safety. So, the remaining three Early-stage Mother Empresses have probably started having second thoughts."

"Unfortunately, it’s easy to join the alliance, but not so simple to back out on short notice."

"Once they violate the alliance oath, the other Mother Empresses will have a legitimate reason to attack each other and even devour the Zerg Race under the command of the weaker Mother Empresses."

"And this plays right into the hands of the two Mid-stage Perfection Mother Empresses. Even if they can’t take Yunxia Ridge in the short term, they can still strengthen themselves by devouring the Early-stage Mother Empresses and their Zerg."

"So the Multi-Emperor Alliance is now in a stage of mutual scheming, with everyone nursing their own ulterior motives. We just need to lure them, bit by bit, into killing each other, and this siege crisis will collapse on its own."

"At the same time, we can look for opportunities to pick up the scraps and complete our own promotions, helping Lin Feng advance to the Tier Three Middle Stage in one fell swoop."

"For the first time, we’ll pull humanity’s Evolution Level, which has lagged so far behind the Mother Empresses, up to the same High Tier."

Hearing Ling Yi praise him, Lin Feng coughed lightly.

"Alright, alright. After you finish the midnight mission, head to the rendezvous point. Remember to pilot the Mother Empress. If something unexpected happens, you can hold them off for a bit until we can provide support from the rear."

"For now, go and get some rest."

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Jiang Yun’er looked as if she had received a pardon. She bowed her head to Ling Yi, then turned and walked away.

After she entered the Incubation Pyramid and, like the Mother Empress beside it, began replenishing Nutrient Liquid and entered a dormant state, Lin Feng shot a subtle glance at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi gave an imperceptible nod, signaling to Lin Feng that Jiang Yun’er had not been lying.
