CHAPTER 469: CHAPTER 398 BLOODLINE ANCESTOR·MIA

...

Mia, although she was Lin Suo’s goddaughter in name, actually received far less care from Lin Suo than Thea did. A decade within the Space-Time Illusion Realm, plus a century of solitary meditation in the Forbidden Magic Tower.

Such a long time was more than enough for a nascent personality to develop a mature character and self-will.

Even though her physical growth had long stopped due to the body of the Blood Ancestor, her mind continued to grow.

Therefore, how to interact with this nominal second daughter also posed a problem.

Lin Suo found Theresa to inquire.

"Where is Mia?"

"Sorry, the second young mistress rarely informs me of her travel plans, but there should be positional data on Zero Zero One."

"She really likes the Leviathan that you gave her."

Lin Suo suddenly understood.

He had synthesized a total of two Leviathans, the first of which the gang from the prison was using, scouring the Star Sea on his behalf to seek the inheritance of enemies who had died by his hand.

Over the years, they had reaped considerable rewards, and the success of the Element Belief Star had their contribution.

To treat them equally,

Thea received a part of Rhein’s fleet, which she named the Lily Flower Fleet, while Mia was given the second Evil Corpse Ship·Leviathan that Lin Suo personally designed.

Leviathan had the child intelligence of Tower Spirit "Zero Zero One", and locating it using the main intelligence was quite simple. It was just that the time span was so long, Lin Suo hadn’t thought of it momentarily.

"But... That being said, the nanny I matched for her, Sorcerer Margaret, should also be by her side, right?"

To call her a nanny was actually to serve as a personal blood reservoir, being a vampire, after all, there’s always a need to suck blood.

"Um..."

Theresa hesitated for a moment, then still explained.

"You might not know, but a hundred years ago, due to long-term blood loss and mental agitation, Margaret’s magic power went out of control, mutated, and she died."

"Her corpse is still in the display room. Iris suspected that Mia was behind it, so it has not been dealt with... You."

"No need."

Lin Suo waved his hand, showing no interest at all.

Sorcerer Margaret and the Blood Finger Quintuplets were, like others, merely temporary tools, and now they were basically no longer needed, so it was of no consequence that she was dead.

He wasn’t interested in investigating these matters.

Mia is one of the three known drops of Source Blood in the universe, the Bloodline Ancestor. Unlike Thea’s situation, due to the lack of long-term companionship and nurturing,

Lin Suo’s attachment to her was in fact very weak.

But since he had made a decision, he had fulfilled her basic needs, and those could be considered of high quality.

This way, he could claim his due with a clear conscience in the future.

Now, the time he had anticipated had arrived.

Of course, this wasn’t about turning against each other or anything. Lin Suo was simply accustomed to preparing for the worst scenario—Mia who had fallen into a never-ending cycle of rebirth at the Ancestor Research Institute, once she remembered that painful memory.

She would be overwhelmed by unbearable agony.

"Zero Zero One, locate the Night Demon Leviathan, and open the nearest coordinates for the Star Gate transmission."

[Received, Master!]

Listening to the mechanical and monotonous voice in his ear, feeling quite uninspired, Lin Suo suddenly had the urge to immerse Zero Zero One in the Wisdom Holy Pool.

Perhaps there could be some unexpected effects?

That’s an idea to jot down in his planner and revisit later.

As Lin Suo pondered, Zero Zero One emitted the mechanical voice once more.

[Master, current coordinates of the Night Demon Leviathan: Silver Star Domain—Arm Hanging Nebula—Planet 147 of Sagittarius.]

[The Star Gate to the Silver Star Domain is now open.]

The embedded space-style Star Gate deep underground opened, and deep space purple light radiated dimly. Lin Suo’s figure flashed and he set off directly.

Leaving Theresa standing there, hand outstretched, words stuck in her throat.

As a senior scholar who wasn’t usually very busy, Theresa had a keen eye for details. Lately, she sensed something was off with Thea.

Always hiding in some deserted corner, whispering secretly.

As if conversing with someone.

Originally she had intended to speak with Lin Suo about it, but just as she answered his question, Lin Suo was gone. She could only mumble to herself.

"It should not take too long just to see the second daughter. I’ll wait for his return before discussing it..."

Shaking her head, she left the quiet underground space alone.

At this moment.

Silver Star Domain—Arm Hanging Nebula.

A tiny human figure abruptly appeared in the desolate and silent starry sky.

The transportation coordinates of the Star Gate have a certain deviation, and the deviation increases with distance. Moreover, since members of Lin Suo’s forces were sparse in this region, there were few coordinates to pinpoint, so there was still some distance from Planet 147 of Sagittarius.

This distance could simply be covered by opening a spatial channel.

It wouldn’t take too long.

Lin Suo didn’t have a good impression of the Silver Star Domain, including the Silver Star lineage, due to various hostilities in the past.

It wasn’t a wise decision for Mia to wander around here.

After all, it hadn’t been long since the incident at the Ancestor Research Institute. As a lost drop of Source Blood, it wasn’t safe here.

Three days later.

Planet 147 of Sagittarius.

Hovering in the planet’s gravity belt was a Flesh Starship hundreds of kilometers in size—a Leviathan—clearly smaller in scale compared to the first one, but still conspicuous.

Lin Suo had just arrived when he spotted the target.

The interiors were filled with a rich dark aura, and he sensed the presence of more than one individual.

With puzzlement, he precisely pinpointed Mia’s location.

Lin Suo appeared in the Flesh Hall within the Leviathan through instant teleportation.

The scene before his eyes could be described in four words—"Demons dancing wildly!"

Over a dozen of Mia’s bloodline descendants were surrounded by more than a couple of beautiful women, whose necks bore two bleeding fang marks, presenting an unusually sinister charm under the dim light.

Hundreds of blood slaves with corpse-like complexions and dark circles under their eyes, dressed in evening gowns, served deep red wine and intoxicating blood fragrance on trays.

Besides these.

Many dark creatures were also indulging in various kinds of blood meals.

"Night Charm Bitch, Harpy, Cannibal, Two-headed Snake Demon, Flayer, Cursed Werewolf, Deer Flower Demon..."

Lin Suo named these dark races one by one.

His feelings towards the dark races were quite average, not because of their alliances or modus operandi, but because they were all unruly fellows.

He loathed these things, and the mere psychological discomfort was enough for him to take action and completely destroy them.

But after thinking it over, he held back.

His pupils shifted towards the white-haired lolita seated high on the throne; his calm voice made Mia, who was amidst pleasure, stand up abruptly.

Across the singing and the crowd.

Father and daughter shared a silent glance; Mia’s calves trembled, and just as she was about to walk over, she stopped suddenly and bared her sharp fangs at Lin Suo with a grin.

Lin Suo frowned.

"A show of force?"

In reality, as Mia was at the core of Lin Suo’s power, her new personality, during its development, was somewhat influenced by the behemoths under Lin Suo’s command.

She was actually afraid of him, mistaking her behavior as a cute overture.

In Lin Suo’s eyes, what was originally a cute expression twisted into a deformed smile upon seeing him...

"It looks more like a threat~"

"Then... let it be destroyed."

Lin Suo’s right hand snapped his fingers, and boom!

A surging dark flame storm instantly swept through the entire Flesh Hall; the horrific black flames incinerated every living creature, while tables and chairs were strangely left intact.

Precise control to the extreme.

Indifferent to the howls of the many dark creatures, Mia, who was naturally cold-hearted, was also frightened by Lin Suo’s display.

No way around it.

In Mia’s heart, Lin Suo had always been a figure of great strength, believing herself unable to resist him; facing Lin Suo, she suppressed the little demon traits that had developed over the years.

She also had no concern for these "good friends" and her own bloodline descendants’ deaths...

After completing its task, the dark flame storm quickly condensed into a point and vanished with the burning ashes.

Lin Suo slowly walked up the steps, approaching Mia, looking down at his second daughter; under the light, Mia couldn’t see Lin Suo’s face at all.

His right hand slowly extended.

"Gulp~"

Mia’s swallowing sound was quite noticeable in the eerily silent environment.

Her small legs, wrapped in black stockings, shook even more, her forehead beaded with sweat, and her heart leapt as if beating a drum.

Under the extreme tension.

When Lin Suo’s hand touched her little head, Mia nearly collapsed to her knees.

Who knew that Lin Suo’s sudden words would pull her back.

"From now on... don’t associate with such bad friends."

"Huff..."

"I... I understand... Father."

After the roller coaster of emotions, Mia slumped back into her throne, engaged in an intense internal struggle; although she wanted to talk back, her mouth simply wouldn’t open.

Mouth: I’m so scared, I feel like I’ll die as soon as I open it.

Heart: Damn!

Little did she know that Lin Suo was the most surprised, but accustomed to never showing his emotions, he remained outwardly calm, thinking to himself.

Theresa said this child was out of control.

She’s always shouting that she doesn’t acknowledge her old man.

She seems quite well-behaved and obedient now; there’s no reason for Theresa to lie... Strange.

He dismissed the thought.

It was always better for father and daughter to interact amiably rather than in a drawn sword standoff.

"Let’s go, to the Quiet Room."

"I have something to discuss with you."

"Understood, Father!"

After calming down a bit, Mia had recovered quite a lot. She stood up, took the lead, not knowing what her father needed her for.

After all, in so many years, he had rarely sought her out.

While Lin Suo explained to Mia about developing the Crimson Element.

A cluster of blood that had been drifting in the cosmos came to the outside of the Leviathan.

The heart of the Blood Demon Tacus bled.

Only God knows how many years he, who lacked spatial abilities, had floated from the ruins of the Ancestor Research Institute to here.

"It’s right here, the source of my bloodline."

"Master!"

"Tacus will assist you in ascending to immortality!"

Ranked first among the Ancestor Research Institute’s research outcomes, the Crimson Weapon·Blood Demon was him.

No one knew that this creation actually possessed self-awareness.

And with extreme loyalty, he pursued Mia’s traces, finally approaching success, now within reach.
