Chapter 47: New Waves Arise
This is just a pipe dream.
Rose had no inttion of finding a partner, she was merely teasing Charles.
The lust poison was merely a trivial matter. As a Succubus Princess who mastered divine arts, she had resolved the issue long ago.
At the very least, she wouldn't be like her sisters, who let their lower halves do the thinking.
Regarding Lilith discovering Charles, Rose wasn't lying. Because her mother was indeed such a doting part. Nearly all of Rose's frids and acquaintances had be roughly assessed by her mother through secret method.
But because her mother was a Twelfth-Tier Succubus Que on the verge of becoming a demigod, she couldn't use avatars or similar methods to snatch people under the oppression of the Contint of Overlord.
Otherwise, her bed would have long be filled with beautiful wom and handsome m.
After all, Rose was a sucker for good looks and didn't like playing with unattractive people.
Seeing this message, Charles could only smile wryly and shake his head. How did a perfectly good fridship turn into this?
Yet another person lusting after him.
[Charles: Are you serious?]
[Rose: Hmm...half and half. If you can quickly reach the Sevth Tier, I might actually consider pairing up with a male just to stop my mother from bothering me.]
[Rose: Alright, my mother may be observing you, but she won't think too much of it. I'm going to get you some high-tier materials. Bye!]
With that, Rose's avatar dimmed.
Charles smiled wryly again.
It seemed he had attracted the atttion of a formidable character, a Succubus Que... She must be at least Tth Tier, right?
Previously, because of the Medusa incidt, Serpt Emperor Yggdrasil had be posting daily rants on the Global Channel, filled with foul language.
Now, he had managed to attract the atttion of a Succubus Que, likely an tity on par with Yggdrasil, and all because he had chatted with her daughter and conducted a straightforward transaction.
Was this bad luck or what?
"That Succubus Que must be a total daughter-obsessed freak, watching so closely!" Charles muttered in exasperation.
In a corner he couldn't see, a space rift oped, revealing a sinister, purple eye.
Charles continued to rant about the Succubus Que.
Unaware that the giant eye was listing to every word he said. The eye swiveled a, as if it had found an tertaining new toy.
"Ahem...." A voice filled with irresistible allure echoed in Charles' room. It wasn't loud, but Charles heard it with perfect clarity.
"Who's there?" Charles' hair stood on d. He felt like he had countered some unfathomable tity, the will behind that voice...
In an instant, he activated the full power of his Bloodthirsty Zerg and Overlord abilities, scanning his surings warily.
But the voice didn't return, and the giant eye that Charles had never noticed gradually faded away.
That eye belonged to other than Rose's mother, the Succubus Que and a dominant ruler of the Land of Turmoil—Lilith.
Lilith had sized up the young man. Apart from being a bit of a flirt, he had no other significant flaws.
A flirt? Well, what man isn't to some extt?
As long as he passed her tests for sexual prowess, looks, strgth, and ambition, everything else would be left to her daughter and fate.
Oh, right.
He deserved some compsation for the mtal strain...
Just as Charles continued to be on high alert, a space rift suddly appeared directly above him.
Before he could react, a pile of various objects glowing with dark ergy tumbled onto his head, leaving him dazed but unharmed.
Obsidian, a Banshee's Heart, Fall Angel feathers... All sorts of high-tier dark resources scattered a him, leaving Charles bewildered as he stood up, staring blankly at his surings.
Someone was definitely just watching him!
"And that gaze... it was terrifying!" Charles muttered to himself, staring at the materials with a mix of shock and uncertainty.
These items were high-level dark materials, ranging from the Fifth to the Sevth Tier, and would be worth a fortune in the outside world. Yet here they were, carelessly piled up like garbage.
Considering what Rose had said about the Succubus Que observing him, could it be... that she had st these to him?
It wasn't unreasonable for Charles to reach this conclusion, giv that he had no significant connections in this world.
It couldn't possibly be Serpt Emperor Yggdrasil crossing realms to give him a gift, right?
Based on that guy's daily activity of phishing on the Global Channel, if Charles had revealed his location, Yggdrasil would have crossed realms to kill him.
With a sigh, Charles resigned himself to the situation.
He slowly crouched down to collect the materials, thinking he would discuss it with Rose once she had organized the resources that eving.
He couldn't afford to casually accept this gift.
After all, the one giving him these items was a Succubus, and Succubus were among the most lustful races on the Contint of Overlord. He was guinely afraid that Lilith might mark him as part of her harem.
And so, an unevtful day wt by.
That eving, wh Rose returned, she handed over all the resources to Charles and explained that her mother simply found him interesting. Relieved, Charles accepted the materials without further mtal burd.
In front of such a powerful figure, whether he accepted or not made little differce.
Tth Tier... it was too elusive. In his previous life, he had never se a reborn Overlord reach the Tth Tier.
That night, in the laboratory.
Charles and his three foolish female slaves stared in amazemt at the large creature before them.
[Observer—War Fortress]
[Race: Zerg]
[Combat Power: Mid-Tier Third Level]
[Skills: Information Relay, Enhanced Vision, Pocket Dimsion, High-Speed Flight]
[Description: A Mutation unit successfully modified by the Zerg Que, with superior vision compared to standard Observers, and capable of housing Zerg within its body, turning it into a flying war fortress.]
You have to admit, wh Catherine gets going, it's like a form of dimsional reduction strike.
Seriously, how many people would be driv to despair by these attributes?
"Not bad, not bad. I'd heard that you successfully completed this research and ev notified Medusa to witness it. Now that I see it, it truly is a gbreaking developmt." Charles said warmly, rewarding Catherine with a gtle pat on the head.
"Can this Observer be mass-produced?" Medusa asked in amazemt, looking at the creation before her, puzzled.
Catherine squinted her eyes under Charles' touch and replied, "Not yet. To be honest, this success was mostly due to luck. I had a sudd burst of inspiration and split half of the Bloodthirsty Zerg essce in my body to make it work."
"I don't ev understand the underlying principle yet. The next two experimts wasted two sets of Observer materials for nothing."
Just like last time, Catherine hated these one-off Mutation cases the most. They were truly a headache.
"So, the good news you mtioned earlier was this mutated Observer?" Charles asked, amused.
Catherine shrugged, "Yes, it's this Observer that can serve as an aerial fortress."
"I checked the internal space, it can easily accommodate a few hundred elite Zerg, each about two meters in size. Medusa can take her army with her on her next exploration."
Everyone understood after this explanation. Indeed, if Medusa could bring her legion along, she could maximize her combat effectivess.
Charles didn't blame Catherine, he ev felt that his female slave was finally being a bit more reasonable.
Whether it's scice or mysticism, technological progress always comes with long-term accumulation, which takes time!
Catherine's previous pace of research was truly terrifying.
Seeing Medusa's eyes filled with anticipation, Charles said helplessly, "Alright, alright. The command of this Observer will be temporarily handed over to you. Coordinate with Catherine for the handover."
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely expand your territory!" Medusa's face lit up with joy upon hearing that the Observer was being bestowed upon her.
It's only be a few months, and already Master's Zerg have such an impressive flying unit. Who knows what they will develop into giv a few decades!
Charles nodded in satisfaction, th scooped up Little Gre, who was daydreaming nearby. As he rubbed her small belly, he laughed and said, "It's going to be hard work for you. Remember to focus on sustainable developmt for this formation, and also sd some worms to work on vironmtal improvemts."
"And most importantly, your personal growth in strgth is crucial. Don't let these tasks hinder your cultivation. I have ough resources here for you all to advance to the Fourth Tier. Go to the treasury and get what you need later."
"In the Contint of Overlord, high-level power is key."
Little Gre raised her little paw to show she understood, while Catherine and Medusa, the workaholics of their respective fields, also nodded in agreemt.
Indeed, since the day they tered the Contint of Overlord, they could only move forward.
Otherwise, the Louis incidt could very well become a reality.
Their Master needed them to protect him!
"Oh, right. Catherine, you should tutor Little Gre on her studies. This time, I want to see some results." Charles suddly remembered something and handed Little Gre over to Catherine before slowly walking away.
...
For the next two months, Charles focused on honing the essce of the Bloodthirsty Zerg within the Zerg territory, solidifying his Fourth Tier strgth.
There was no other way. The first to third tiers were merely about accumulation, but reaching the Fourth Tier meant formally tering the long cultivation system of the Contint of Overlord.
The path ahead required not just quantity and getic adjustmts but also a mystical state of mind.
Fortunately, Charles had be a Sixth Tier Serpt Overlord in his previous life. At least until the Sevth Tier, his progress wouldn't be hindered by issues of mtal state.
But today, an unexpected evt pulled him out of his cultivation.
Sere Forest, turmoil rises once more.
