#1028 - The mockery of life

Destruction descended upon the Ninth Dimension in an instant. A piercing screech suddenly echoed through the void, and all the Void Worms that had just been re-modulated became agitated, darting back and forth like lightning. They swept past planets, through nebulae, and destroyed the Satha Clan's bio-warships one after another. Countless tentacles writhed, twisting the Satha people into a bloody pulp.

Screams and wails instantly filled all channels. The Satha people within the Mother Nest were not spared either. The once-trusted weapon systems turned on them, and the walls, floors, and corridors seemed to come alive in an instant, opening bloody mouths to devour and chew them. A Satha who was not quick enough was entangled by several blood vessels and twisted into a ball of flesh in an instant. Blood and flesh flowed down the blood vessels, making a dripping sound.

The sounds of bones breaking, flesh rubbing, and dying wails became the main melody in the channels.

"Ah, what is that? Get away, get away!"

"Activate the defense system! What? The defense system is attacking us? God, get out of this ship!"

"What's going on? Why is this happening? Report to the Worm Brain, report to Lord Napolitte..."

"Please, Conqueror Saggiel, help us!"

"Ah, Lord Saggiel! Why are you here? Oh God... your body, your lower body? No, don't come over... Ah..."

Countless screams and panicked voices instantly decorated the Ninth Dimension like a festival, a festival of blood... In the center of the Star Nest, the huge modulation chamber slowly unfolded like petals, and Lilith floated out slowly. Her naked back was still connected to countless blood vessels, but her deep blue hair was already fluttering impatiently.

She took a deep breath, revealing a look of intoxication and comfort.

"Ah, the scent of blood, the taste of life..."

"It's always so intoxicating."

"No, stop it! What are you doing?" Sabos shouted angrily. At this moment, the light screen in front of him was displaying the massacre outside. Satha warships were being destroyed, and countless Satha people were turning into blood pulp. The dying wails and screams of his people echoed in his ears, each sound seeming to tug at his heart.

Those were the elites of the Satha Clan... the high-level warriors left behind in the core. How could they be killed by the very things they were guarding? The worms shuttling through the void were like cold killing machines, displaying astonishing killing efficiency. All of this was beyond the tolerance of the Great Sage. He could not, and could not understand, why the result he had longed for and strived for would turn out like this.

This was not what he wanted...

However, Lilith was not agitated. Facing Sabos's anger, she just smiled sweetly, raised a slender finger to her lips, and made a gesture of silence.

"Don't worry, wise Great Sage Sabos. This is just a part of my evolution. I need food, and my body craves energy. It is an honor for them to be absorbed by me."

"Damn honor! Go to hell!" Sabos's face was twisted. He shouted angrily, "That is life! Life like you and me! Life with intelligence and dignity!"

"Huh?" Lilith was obviously stunned for a moment. "You... are talking about dignity and... life?"

She covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she had heard the best joke. "Oh, I'm sorry, Great Sage Sabos, I'm not mocking you. It's just that hearing these words from your mouth is laughable. Oh, although I just took over the Worm Brain's database, if I'm not mistaken, there are quite a few instances of the Satha Clan exterminating other cosmic civilizations... Those individuals erased by you, are they not lives? Do they not have intelligence in their minds?"

"You..." Sabos opened his mouth, but found that he could not make a sound.

"Look, we have reached a consensus." Lilith noticed his strangeness, and a graceful smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Descriptive words like life and dignity should not appear in your and my dictionaries. To me, to you, they are just so-called individuals, possessing some qualities that we need or do not need."

"Your research needs them, and my growth needs them. Even on a larger scale, the operation of the universe also has a part of them. What I do is to transform them from independent individuals and integrate them into my part. This may erase their independent consciousness, but there is no loss in the original life level."

"Life is precious because it is the original resource of the universe, and it is also the resource I need most. Of course, you and I both know that I am not talking about independent individuals."

"I don't need you to preach to me," Sabos said angrily. Compared to Lilith, who had a huge database, he obviously had no possibility of arguing. So he turned his gaze to Napolitte next to him.

"What about you, great Chief Great Sage? Can't you restrain your child?"

Napolitte was still immersed in the intense shock, and did not seem to realize what Sabos was saying. After waiting for Sabos to repeat it, he woke up with a start, and also saw the massacre on the light screen.

The bloody, immoral cruelty made even someone like him, who was accustomed to manipulating life, tremble. He asked the same question as Sabos.

"What?"

"To collect life energy, Father," Lilith said seriously, facing Napolitte. "I need them, and the Star Nest needs them. This is part of evolution."

The latest novel is first published at Six-9-book-bar!

"But why must it be here? If you need it, I have already made preparations," Napolitte said anxiously, while taking out meat balls one by one. If Saros was here, he would be able to discover that this was the result of his harvesting the grazing land. Each meat ball contained the life energy of a planet.

But what Napolitte did not expect was that Lilith just glanced at it casually, and said disdainfully, "Dear Father, are you going to use these defective products to soothe my hungry appetite? This quality of vitality can only satisfy the basic construction of the Star Nest, but it is far from enough for me, or even the continued evolution of the Star Nest."

"I need powerful, fresh, high-quality vitality. The higher the life, the better. There are many outside now, haven't you already promised to give them all to me?"

Napolitte was speechless. Although as the Chief Great Sage, he modulated this huge Star Nest, he actually did not know what the Star Nest really needed. All he could know was the records on ancient materials. For example, he knew that the Star Nest needed life energy, but he did not know that this energy also had quality distinctions.

In his mind, since Lilith was the awakening of the ancient Mother Nest, it was taken for granted that she would know the needs of the Star Nest better than him... The sacrifice of millions of Satha people, if it could be exchanged for the evolution of a Star Nest, then of course it would be worth it.

Of course, the final verification was still needed.

"If this is what you need, then you have it now. Now you need to give me proof, so that I, and our King, can feel that all of this is valuable."

After a slight groan, Napolitte said seriously to Lilith. (To be continued...)
