Omnipotent Overlord

“Scram!”

Ao Meng’s nine doggy maws opened up to attack.

Ka~

The two crystal soldiers around jumped in and made a line in front of the Dull Bug.

Nine beams shot the crystal soldiers dead center. Despite all that power, it ran through the first crystal soldier but unable to break the second.

Hum~

The crystal soldiers shone and in five second they were good as new.

The Dull Bug Gu Zheng took a step back and said, “Arrest them.”

Ka~

Dozens of crystal soldiers around shone an shot for Ao Meng.

Hum~

Along with the sound of a blaring alarm, more and more crystal soldiers flew in, soon outnumbering the Nine-headed race’s contingency.

Ao Meng could smash two or three crystal soldiers to bits, but alas, those bits didn’t stay dead.

It wasn’t long before all the Nine-headed aliens were arrested.

The witnesses were stunned.

Having not seen the crystal soldiers in action so far, many aliens disregarded Gu Yiming. But now they saw it live, why a mere Gnoll could set up shop in front of two strong races.

Ao Meng was pinned down by two crystal soldiers. All he could do was vent, “Dull Bug, I am a Nine-headed prince. I dare you to mess with me!”

Gu Zheng said, “On Ancient Planet, no race is above the other!”

“My actions are justified. Our third crown prince was killed by a nobody. He rode the mandarin duck carriage on Ancient Planet and even actioned it off. What would you have done if it happened to you?”

Gu Zheng’s tone was ever flat, “Prince Ao Meng, may I ask, did third crown prince die on Ancient Planet?”

“No, but my nephew’s carriage appeared here. It’s obvious that his killer is here as well!”

“Anything that happens outside Ancient Planet, stays outside.”

“Am I to take your response as choosing to protect my nephew’s murderer?”

Gu Zheng scorned, “Believe what you will.”

“Detain them for half a month and deal them punishment!”

“It’s worth it being under Gu Yiming. Even a Dull Bug can show off…”

“Amazing! If I didn’t see it, I wouldn’t believe it. The mighty prince of the ten strong race lost to a mere Dull Bug…”

“That’s Gu Yiming for you…”

“The first merchant in the universe. There’s no way Gu Yiming would act like this without some backup.”

“Simply incredible!”

With the Nine-headed aliens taken into custody, the crowd scattered.

Ye Xiaolu patted Li Mo, “I say, lil’ Mo, did you hear what the Dull Bug said? No matter who you kill, as long as it’s outside Ancient Planet, it stays outside. Here you’re protected. Why should we change our looks then?”

“Tell me, which would be better, for this situation to be witnessed by all or be dealt with from the shadows?”

“It’s the same either way.”

“Is it?”

“But of course.”

“On Ancient Planet, Gu Yiming’s protection is only on the surface, while nonexistent from the shadows.

“And what does that mean?”

“Take the Devils who stole Goddesses’ prospects at becoming one of the ten strong races. They are natural assassins and besides strength they have something else going in their favor.

“All is fair in pursuit for profit.

“Give Devils enough and they will do anything you want.”

Li Mo said, “When Devils are after you, you will never know peace, be it at night or in daylight.”

“Nine-headed race, Celestial Fire race, these I do not fear. But I very much like to avoid Devils bothering me.”

“Of the ten strong races, Devils may not be the strongest, but they are the most resourceful.”

“Why don’t we ask them then? Can we?”

The two talked as they entered Ancient Residence.

“We can, but like I said, Devils do anything for profit. Before you go and see them, you must first ask yourself if you have the right.

“And what’s this right, you ask? The ten strong races, Gu Yiming and so on, have it. They have the fame and the money. While us three do not. Even if we had the coin, Devils might not work with us. On the contrary, they’ll use us instead.”

“S***, does this race has no honor?”

“None whatsoever.”

“Goddess, Huo Sangzi of the Celestial Fire race greets you. “

Li Mo’s party bumped into Huo Sangzi again.

With Ye Xiaolu’s new looks, Huo Sangzi was none the wiser as to who was under that silky-smooth skin.

Goddesses were called Goddess because they were like amazons. A race of women giving birth to only women by mating with other races.

“F~… ahem. Hello.”

Ye Xiaolu felt like breaking the guy’s tenders with a well placed kick, but thought better of it on account of her new face. 

Huo Sangzi perked up, “Might I ask why has Goddess come here? Is there something I can help you with?”

Goddesses were known to be aloof. It was nigh impossible to glue oneself to one and rise in power.

With Celestial Fire males known as horndogs, these guys considered having a Goddess as a badge of honor.

“I’m in need of money. Do you have any?”

“Money?” Huo Sangzi smiled, “How much do you need, Goddess?”

“Ten million, a hundred million. Like that.”

Huo Sangzi’s face froze.

“It’s fine if you don’t have.”

“I myself only have a million…”

“Could you give it to me?” Ye Xiaolu said.

“Of course!”

Huo Sangzi’s heart got pumping, his blood surging as he gave his crystal card to Ye Xiaolu.

“Thank you, you’re a sweet man.”

“Sweet? Ha-ha-ha…”

“Alright then, buh-bye.”

“Eh?”

Ye Xiaolu left a dumbstruck Huo Sangzi…

A woman, a man and a cat…

“Why is this image so familiar?” Huo Sangzi felt lost for a long time.

“Huo Sang, what are you doing?”

Yan Fei walked over.

“Nothing.

“Ha-ha-ha, brother Fei, my luck has turned.” Huo Sangzi giggled.

“I shall be the first of my race that gets to have a Goddess in a million years!”
