Conquest of a Certain Lord - Chapter 279：Mermaids

But this was the strongest metal in the galaxy, could someone really cause such terrible destruction with just their bare hands? The prison guard was dumbfounded, he walked up to the door and looked around for a long time but he didn’t know how to react. He knew he could get into big trouble, after collecting bribes from several families, he transferred his colleague of this area​​, and turned off the monitoring system, waiting for the feminine man to kill Orr so he could come in to clean up the mess. But it was awfully evident, with the cell so tragically destroyed, this mess was beyond his ability to clean up.

After staring blankly for a few minutes, he hurriedly raised his particle gun and fired at Orr, but frighteningly, the bullets were blocked by his spiritual force field, drawing circular ripples in the air before disappearing. Even someone with 3S level strength can’t block attacks from a heat-ray gun. Orr, was he no longer human?

The prison guard sat paralyzed on the ground, seeing Orr’s foot shift slightly, he immediately crawled up and ran, scared witless. He knew that if Orr came out of the cell, all the guards in Kavala prison couldn’t stop him. He had to report this to the superiors as soon as possible, otherwise, the situation would only escalate.

On this day, Kavala prison’s long neglected category A security alarm system blared sharply. The prisoners crowded their cell doors, watching the heavily armed guards marching towards a certain cell with curious and excited gazes. The guards set up a particle cannon, lifted their particle guns, and erected a super-metal shield in order to deter the prisoner in the cell. But judging by their pale faces and flickering eyes, the prisoner was not frightened, on the contrary, they were the ones who were terrified.

This is amazing! The prisoners on the same cell block stretched their necks, trying to see who this man was. Was it the leader of the Chinese gang, Dong Huang? I heard he’s a 2S level warrior.

While the crowd watched with rapt attention, the cell door finally opened, and the heavily armed guards cautiously moved in, carried out a few badly mutilated humanoid objects, then retreated ten meters, continuing to point their various heat ray guns at the prisoner within cell. A few minutes later, the warden rushed over, then walked into the cell and negotiated with the mysterious man for half an hour. When the negotiations were over, calm and steady footsteps were heard, and a tall, handsome man walked down the corridor to the warden’s office under threat from numerous muzzles.

“Holy shit, it’s General Orr!”

“What did he do?”

“Hey, those things that were just carried off seemed to be Viper and his men. But Viper’s the fifth ranked in Kavala, did General Orr kill him just like that?

“Didn’t you notice? General Orr was unscathed, he really is worthy of being the Empire’s Superhero!”

Hearing the prisoners’ gossip, the warden couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly. If they could see the state of cell 308, they wouldn’t even be able to muster the courage to look at Orr Assai right now. When the first batch of people with special powers were born, they were called Supermen, but scientists rejected this name, renaming them special people. They also predicted that mankind would continue to evolve, and eventually, spiritual power and physical strength would surpass the limit, to the point where the human body could shuttle across the universe. Until then, the race that achieved the ultimate evolution would be called Supermen.

The first S level person was born, the first 2S level person was born, the first 3S level person was born, humanity really became more and more powerful, but no one could achieve the scientists’ definition of a Superman. The warden once doubted whether this was just delusions of scientific madmen, but now, he couldn’t stop observing the man walking in front of him, realizing that he might’ve witnessed the birth of humanity’s first Superman.

If Orr really was powerful to that extent, no one here could keep him locked up. If he wanted to leave Kavala, it was as easy as tearing through a wet piece of paper. He could go to any corner of the universe and kill any of the Empire’s enemies. The warden suddenly felt the weight of the heavy burden on his shoulders, he had to do everything he could to pacify Orr.

For some unknown reason, the Queen’s hatred for the Empire was far greater than other states. She delivered a devastating blow to the Empire, and after the war ended, the once most formidable empire in Asaph Galaxy was reduced to the weakest presence. In order to avoid being annexed by the Federation, the Empire urgently needed increased military strength. The Marshal was even considering releasing the A level and above prisoners and sending them to the battlefield, allowing them to contribute to the army in exchange for freedom.

This method was very dangerous, and also had many drawbacks, however the proposal was unanimously accepted after it was first presented to the court. This is because the souls the Queen devoured were all from the most aggressive go-getters in the Empire, they were the best source of energy for the Queen, so contrary to expectations, mostly the submissive people survived. Now, the Empire’s biggest source of worry was not from external aggression, but from lack of talent. If the army found out about Orr’s true strength, they would desperately try to recruit him.

Perhaps soon, the youngest Admiral in Asaph Galaxy, or maybe even the youngest Marshal, would be born. The warden saw things clearly, so he treated Orr with particular respect, he not only allowed him to wash up in his office, he even fetched him a neat new uniform.

Orr tidied himself up and bluntly sat down on the couch, then asked, “Do you have a cigar?”

“Yes, please wait a moment!” The warden didn’t smoke, so he immediately sent a guard out to find one. The big shot prisoners in each zone certainly hoarded such items, and they only took the best.

The guard confiscated a box of cigars and ran back, sweating profusely. The warden personally cut and lit one, then handed it to the man and respectfully said, “General, the army sent a car to pick you up. It’ll arrive in about ten minutes.”

“I’m not going to the barracks.” Orr puffed on his cigar, his bottomless black pupils flowing with ice-cold silver.

“Then are you heading back home? Do you want us to escort you?”

“No need, someone’ll be here to pick me up soon.” Apparently thinking about something amusing, the gloomy faced man suddenly chuckled.

Apart from the military, the warden couldn’t think of anyone else who would come to pick up Orr, but he didn’t dare probe, after nodding in acknowledgement, he stepped out for a breather. The man’s power was exuding too much pressure, it was difficult to breathe in the same room with him. The military officers waited for half an hour, seeing no one from the Assai family arriving, they were about to head upstairs to plead with the General to come with them when a speedy suspension car pulled up.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou! Do you have some business here today?” Zhou Yun Sheng was now the Ministry of Military Affairs’ special cyber security expert, his authority was comparable to the Imperial Marshal, so the military men naturally recognized him.

“I came to bail Orr out.” Zhou Yun Sheng took out the bail order issued by the Marshal. This required a 30 year free work order for the Ministry of Military Affairs, thinking about it made him feel depressed.

“Your news is lagging behind, the General’s already… …” Before this person could finish explaining, the previously reluctant to leave Orr suddenly strode out of the elevator and wrapped the boy in a bear hug.

Zhou Yun Sheng raised an eyebrow, staring into the man’s pitch-black pupils. From top to bottom, the original gentle and courteous atmosphere was replaced by overbearing arrogance. A showy smile filled with love, he shouted, “Baby, I knew you’d come pick me up!”

“Orr?” Zhou Yun Sheng asked in a calm tone, not hugging him back.

“There’s no Orr, that was me … …” Before he could finish, the man was ruthlessly slapped by the boy, his face rendered askew by the impact.

The senior military officials glanced at the warden with suspicious eyes, silently asking: This is the Superman you described? Are you playing us?

The warden hurriedly pointed upstairs, towards that scene. The prison officer had turned off the surveillance camera in the cell, so it wasn’t recorded on video.

The two men glanced meaningfully at each other, secretly vigilant, afraid that Orr might fly into a rage and kill the boy, but unexpectedly, the man just nonchalantly wiped his face, then pulled the boy into his arms, frantically biting his lips. The boy punched him a few times at first, then seemed to give up, responding equally as eagerly. The boy climbed the taller man’s neck, the man enthusiastically groped the boy’s buttocks, the blush inducing sounds of lips and tongues intertwining echoing. After more than ten minutes, the boy pushed the other man away, and brushed a smear of blood off his lips.

Because their actions were too intense, his lips were cut.

Didn’t General Orr kill Nan Qing out of anger because he didn’t accept his love, how did he replace his object of infatuation in a blink of an eye? The warden and the military officers were baffled.

“Baby, I missed you so much!” Orr groped the boy’s butt and pulled him in close, letting him feel his hard length on his soft belly.

“You’ve been here all along?” Letting 008 pilot the suspension car, Zhou Yun Sheng and his lover sat in the back seat.

“It was me, but it also wasn’t me. My database is too big, Orr’s body would’ve exploded if I was activated all at once. I needed time to help him upgrade, so I turned on his database first, meaning, the memories within his brain.” The man impatiently embraced the boy, showering his cheeks with kisses.

Zhou Yun Sheng nodded, finally understanding what happened. Advanced software and low-end hardware weren’t compatible, once booted, it would cause a blue screen error, or even a crash, so his lover had to temporarily use the original low-end software to host the entire system. It was so simple, if he’d used the logic of a computer program to decipher why his lover couldn’t wake up, rather than the more mysterious logic of the soul, he would’ve found his answer earlier. When all was said and done, his lover was originally just a bunch of data, he had built in modes of operation, even if he became human, that wouldn’t change. Orr was never Orr, he was just an overseer his lover created according to Orr’s memories, so he naturally performed identically to the original Orr.

He gripped the back of his lover’s head and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, for the first time in a while, he felt completely relaxed.
