Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

Countless bizarre winged creatures are flying through the universe. They have characteristics of bats, birds, insects, and other creatures. They are half-human and half-beast, with segmented bodies. Their wings are like those of bats, and their claws are probably those of birds of prey.

These terrifying creatures constantly traverse the universe, and judging from the various carcasses of creatures they carry in their claws and mouths, they seem to be preparing some horrific blood sacrifice ritual.

The planet they were eventually transported to was an insignificant little planet, but terrible changes were taking place there.

These flying creatures, known as Byakki, are arranging strange patterns on the blood array of their altar, which they had set up long ago. (Monthly subscription group: 694936135)

Meanwhile, the planet's environment was like the end of the world, with eerie twilight clouds constantly sinking down, as if to crush the world.

The wind howled, making strange noises, as if calling the name of some creature.

Not far in front of the altar was a murky lake, which remained still in the howling wind, without even a ripple.

The corpses of countless creatures were placed on the altar, piled up into a bloody, mangled mountain of flesh.

The Byakki were waiting around the altar for something. As time passed, a faint beam of light shone on the altar.

Just then, the mountain of corpses turned into blood and flowed into the lake. The turbid lake began to ripple after being filled with blood, and the water level dropped continuously as it was replaced by the blood. A blurry figure rose from the water, and a Byakki grabbed a tattered yellow cloth and threw it at the blurry figure on the lake.

The yellow cloth wrapped around the figure, and blood continued to condense. The original lake dried up, and now a creature dressed in yellow floated above it, with countless tentacles like those of an octopus below it.

The Byaki roared and cheered for the arrival of the yellow-clad creature, whose tattered clothes were constantly being blown by the wind.

He opened his arms and felt the power of the wind. From that moment on, the King in Yellow was reborn.

"I'm back!"

The Great Savior, far away on the other side, also felt this familiar sensation; the King in Yellow had been resurrected.

In the main world

The Star Familiars have found suitable parasitic targets again, and most of them are now gathered in the underground black market.

This place, a melting pot of all sorts, is the perfect place for them to operate, and their target is the Thieves' Guild, this so-called intelligence organization.

Humans, manipulated by the Star Families, inadvertently approach the Thieves' Guild's base, secretly seeking an opportunity to infiltrate it.

The main force of the Thieves Guild has already gone out, and those left here are just guards, which has given the Star Familia an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Hey, can you watch this for a bit while I go buy something?"

"Okay, come back soon!"

Soon, one of the guards slipped out to buy something, and a Star Familia member set his sights on him. Meanwhile, several other Star Familias were observing the Thieves Guild's facilities and environment, looking for places to sneak in and break into.

However, the Thieves Guild is a professional organization, and they know better than ordinary people which places are weak points. Therefore, the Star Families cannot find a good location and can only hope that the members of the Thieves Guild will go out, and then they will find an opportunity to parasitize them.

The thieves guild member who went out to buy things alone was actually having fun in the alley, and the Star Familia who was with him saw this as a perfect opportunity.

The thief had barely entered the alley when a hand reached out from the shadows and dragged him inside.

"..."

The terrified thief felt something enter his body through his mouth, making him feel nauseous. Soon, he lost consciousness.

When he emerged from the alley, he was like a completely different person. He then went to find his kind and had them hide inside his body so that he could bring them into the Thieves' Guild.

He casually bought a small trinket and returned to the Thieves' Guild, leaving the gatekeeper who was watching over him momentarily stunned.

Why were you so fast this time?

Normally, this guy would sneak out for a long time, so why is he gone so quickly this time?

Even if he has premature ejaculation, he'll still come home late to save face.

Some things were really unusual, but the person didn't think much of it.

"You're back, so I'm going out to have some fun."

After patting his companion on the shoulder, another member of the Thieves' Guild left. The Star Familiar smiled slightly; these guys really did crumble on their own.

In the outside world

The allied forces scattered across various locations have gradually made contact. Fortunately, the losses in this war were not significant, but the problem is that the monsters have escaped. The Goblin Merchant Guild has now become a discarded pawn to those monsters, and it is pointless for the allied forces to dwell on the goblins anymore, since the real culprits behind the scenes are those cunning, octopus-like monsters.

"Now our objectives have become unclear again. These monsters have definitely infiltrated forces in various places, and they will surely look for an opportunity to strike us hard again. The Winter Empire and the Drow Empire are likely to be the next targets. We must pay close attention to these two places."

Apart from those who had already sided with the Goblin Merchant Guild and those with smaller influence, among the major powers in the Allied Forces, only the Winter Empire and the Drow Empire were not bombed.

The Winter Empire is located on the distant eastern continent, where the weather is harsh and ordinary creatures would certainly not want to set foot there. Therefore, the goblins would most likely choose the Drow Empire in the central continent.

“We drow elves will take this into consideration.” Marthalia had already instructed the drow elves to strengthen their vigilance, expanding their perimeter several times over, all to prevent the main city from being destroyed by the dimensional bombs.

"I need to go back first..."

The leader of the Alchemist Alliance, Aegert, wanted to go back and see that their homeland had been destroyed, and their children might already be...

"Alright, let's go back and take care of some things first, but time is of the essence, so I hope everyone won't waste too much time. The longer we drag this out, the greater the threat we face..."

To be honest, the Sorcerer King didn't want the allied forces to disband, but everyone's morale was low after the war, so he could only try to appease them and let them go back first. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fight the enemy with such negative emotions.

He himself was also very saddened. The young talents of the Magic Kingdom, the backbone of magicians, had suffered a huge blow. This was something he really didn't want to see, but there was nothing he could do; it just happened.

The coalition forces temporarily disbanded, and they returned to their destroyed homes.

Elifiel and Defiant, who had escaped from the Alchemy Alliance, had been adrift at sea for days and nights when they finally saw the distant continent.

"Disobedience, that should be the mainland, right?"

"Yes, young lady, we have arrived in the central continent."

The rebel breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any major dangers at sea. He wondered if the war between the Alliance Leader and the others had ended. If they saw the ruins of the Alchemy Alliance, they would probably be filled with rage...

Chapter 403 The Hidden Star Familiar

On an unnamed planet, the Yellow King, awakened once more, sits atop a mountain of skulls made of corpses, receiving the worship of his kin.

“Itakya, Roiger, Zar…”

The King in Yellow muttered the names of the evil gods he served, all of whom had been wiped out by the Astral Plane.

"Hmph, it was you who caused this trouble..."

However, the King in Yellow did not believe this was the Astral Plane's true intention. When he said "you," he was referring to his mortal enemy: the Great Savior. He saw through the Great Savior's trick immediately.

"To actually use the power of an evil god to strengthen yourself, and then have you defeat those guys from the Astral Plane in the end, I must say, you're quite the character..."

The King in Yellow knew his old rival all too well, as evidenced by the deaths of his subordinate evil gods.

"You're all alone, it seems it's time for me to teach you a lesson."

The King in Yellow floated up, and the Byakki around him also took off, circling and flying around him.

"Servants, come with me to meet my old friend!"

The King in Yellow and the Byakki left the planet and moved at high speed toward the Astral Plane.

Meanwhile, the Astral Plane is currently undertaking a new round of reconstruction. Based on the experience of previous battles, they have specialized the buildings, no longer pursuing aesthetics but focusing on functionality and sturdiness, making them water-resistant, fire-resistant, and ice-resistant all in one.

"Why don't we just move it into that warship?"

Some astral inhabitants felt that no matter how many evil gods they built, they would still be destroyed if the crisis wasn't resolved. So they decided to live in warships instead, even though it was crowded, at least their lives wouldn't be in danger.

"Spare me, I'll die living there. Just the snoring of other people and the meowing of the cats will drive me crazy..."

Most people would definitely oppose this opinion, since no one wants to have no privacy and have to endure all kinds of noise.

Warships aren't exactly safe either. Leaving aside the previous experience of being caught between fire and ice, in a real battle, you'd be the first target to be attacked, so most people don't want to live on warships.

"This warship is just a search and rescue assault ship, not an ark ship. There are no supporting living facilities inside. Isn't living in it just asking for trouble?"

Qin Yu also didn't approve of them living in the warship. If they really wanted to live there, they should build an Ark-ship. However, given the current production capacity of the Star Boundary, it would be hundreds of years before they could build such a thing, and some materials might not even be available at all.

"Xiaoyu, did that evil god drop a power core similar to the one in Afm Za after he died?"

"..." Qin Yu had almost forgotten about it if Yin Feixue hadn't mentioned it. "No, it must have been stolen by that giant octopus..."

Qin Yu hadn't expected that giant octopus.

They acted so quickly, snatching the item right under his nose. When the ice shattered, it looked like a faint flame fell, but Qin Yu thought it was just a small flame and didn't pay attention, and it disappeared in an instant.

Now it seems that thing should be the core of Ktugya's power. The giant octopus took it, so wouldn't it become even more powerful? It will probably be very difficult to face that giant octopus then, after all, the later evil gods have become more and more outrageous.

"Does that mean that giant octopus is already going to defy the heavens? Apart from the power of that blue fireball, everything else was taken away by the giant octopus. The giant octopus has probably become a monster by now, right?"

Luna thought for a moment, then considered brute force, wind element, twins, and burst damage...

“It’s really troublesome. The most crucial thing right now is that we have no idea where this guy is hiding. As long as he doesn’t show up, we can’t do anything about him.”

Qin Yu was thinking about how to force this elusive evil god to reveal himself. He might only appear for a fleeting moment when other evil gods die, and that would be Qin Yu's only chance.

"We need to catch the traces of his power the instant the other evil gods die, so that we can track him down, but that's quite difficult..."

Dealing with evil gods is exhausting enough, let alone high-ranking evil gods. It's like playing a game that should normally last 15 minutes, but it drags on for two hours, and then you never want to play that trash game again.

“How about we get an evil god to act in this?” Luna suggested, holding a blue-furred cat in her arms.

"Acting? You mean Buster?"

Now, the only evil god who can be on good terms with Qin Yu and the others is Buster. It seems that Buster is also a high-ranking evil god, but it is unknown whether that guy is willing to help them.

"Meow~" the blue-haired cat meowed.

“I don’t think that will work.” Yin Feixue rejected the idea. “That giant octopus isn’t that stupid. If we’re really going to fight, we need a good reason. Otherwise, the fact that these cats are staying with us is hardly convincing.”

"Yes, Xiaoxue is right. That giant octopus is also an evil god, so he must know Buster very well. He must know it's all an act."

In this situation, we can only wait for a new evil god to come to us, and then seize the opportunity to catch that giant octopus.

The Thieves' Guild at Night

The Star Families found their opportunity, and the little octopuses swarmed out, searching for a host to parasitize.

Then, one by one, the thieves controlled by the Star Families awoke, with the octopus's tentacles still in their mouths.

At that moment, a patrolman passing by the room saw the bizarre scene and covered his mouth. He immediately ran to the security room and rang the alarm. In an instant, the members of the Thieves' Guild woke up and ran to the alarm room to check the situation.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The person who ran over saw the person who rang the bell looking flustered and quickly asked what was wrong.
