Chapter 615: Emperor Ming Awakens!
Suddenly, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
The smile on Les''s face vanished, and his icy eyes locked onto Su Chen, as if he were ready to strike at any moment.
Su Yi stood by Su Chen''s side, Soulpower ready to erupt at a moment''s notice. If Les made even the slightest move, he would turn Les into a puppet.
"So, you''re confident enough to resolve this with a little trip outside?" Les spoke in a calm tone.
To be honest, Su Chen was brimming with confidence at the moment, and it stemmed from his recent acquisition of the Cosmic Behemoth Spectral Moth.
This Cosmic Behemoth fed on the consciousness of intelligent lifeforms. Even the nearly invincible Matricide Beetle had been consumed by the Spectral Moth in just a month. So, devouring Les''s consciousness shouldn''t be a problem.
"Les, this is your last chance. If you willingly leave my brother''s body, I can let you continue to exist, provide you with a cloned body. But if you refuse..."
Before Su Chen could finish, Les decisively interjected, "I agree."
"Hmm?" Su Chen was slightly taken aback. He had expected Les to resist, but he never thought Les would agree so easily. It left him somewhat incredulous.
But both his Psychicpower and Su Yi''s Soulpower assured him that Les was speaking the truth; he had genuinely surrendered.
Regardless, Su Chen now had a way to control Les. Whatever schemes Les might have were now rendered useless.
"Yun Ru, create a Clone."
"I want to customize my own appearance," Les exclaimed.
Customizing the Clone''s appearance was child''s play for Yun Ru. She proceeded to craft an entirely new cloned body according to Les''s specifications.
After a few minutes, Yun Ru returned, saying, "The body is ready."
"Let your consciousness come out."
"No, I want to transfer my consciousness directly to the Clone."
In reality, Les was concerned that Su Chen might deceive him. Once he lost his physical body and was left with only consciousness, many of his abilities would become useless, and he would be at the mercy of others.
Su Chen naturally shared this concern and agreed to this small request.
As a Protoss, they tended to prefer going solo, so he approached everything with a hint of suspicion.
Both choices seemed fine on the surface, but why was the second one added?
Les suspected that there might be a trap involved, like forcing him into life-threatening situations once he became a subordinate. Once he lost his body and had only consciousness left, would Su Chen have the upper hand? Unbeknownst to him, without the knowledge of the System''s existence, he couldn''t fathom the alternative method Su Chen was employing.
"I choose the first one. I''m quite content with my life as a homebody," Les said proudly, his head held high.
Su Chen remained composed outwardly, but inside, he couldn''t help but sigh at Les''s cautiousness.
It was Les''s own choice, and Su Chen promptly let him return to his previous arrangement with Yuan Yizhong. He believed that with Yuan Yizhong, a Spy, around, it was only a matter of time before Les''s secrets were uncovered.
Not long after, a Red Alert soldier reported, "Commander, Emperor Ming has awakened."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately headed to a room, which was lavishly decorated, comparable to a five-star hotel, reserved for special guests.
Emperor Ming sat at the edge of the bed, looking somewhat bewildered.
"How are you feeling, Elder Brother?" Su Chen approached.
Emperor Ming looked at Su Chen, puzzled. "Little Brother? Is this your Red Alert Base?"
Everything seemed so strange to Emperor Ming. He vividly remembered competing for the position of Ancient Relic Master in the ancient ruins. Why did he wake up here?
At this moment, Emperor Ming still had no idea that several months had passed.
"Do you feel any discomfort?"
Among all the Human Emperors, Su Chen had the closest relationship with Zhu Hui. Zhu Hui''s character earned Su Chen''s admiration. He was a true Human Emperor!
"I''m a bit dizzy, but by the way, how did things turn out? Who became the Master of the ancient relic?" Zhu Hui asked eagerly.
"Elder Brother, it has been over four months since the ancient relic emerged," Su Chen said with a serious expression. (To be continued...)
