David and Viola looked up and saw Rainbow flying towards them. This made David's face immediately darken, and his brows furrowed tightly.
However, at this moment, Viola did not notice David's expression. Seeing Rainbow approaching, she smiled and greeted it. Bernard's lips also curled into an imperceptible smirk.
Rainbow continued to fly in the air, and Viola watched it as she always did. Just when Rainbow was about a meter away from Viola, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from its sword.
Viola also sensed this fierce aura at the very moment, but by then, it was too late to evade. She widened her eyes, watching as Rainbow closed in on her forehead, her face filled with terror.
"Move away!" Just then, David's voice suddenly rang in her ear. The next second, she saw a blur flash before her eyes as a pair of David's large hands firmly grabbed Rainbow.
"Trying to use an illusion in front of me? You're too inexperienced! Show your true form!" David shouted loudly, tightly gripping Rainbow in his hand. At the same time, he glanced at Bernard, who was sneering nearby. With a thought, a spatial blade appeared in the void, slashing towards Bernard's neck like lightning.
"Haha! We Zerg will dominate everything here! You humans are nothing more than ants we can trample underfoot! Consider this a simple lesson, if you don't want to die here, you'd better roll away from here!" With Bernard falling to the ground, his body and Rainbow in David's hand both transformed into a swarm of small black, hard-shelled insects. These insects quickly flew into the courtyard's airspace, gathering together and forming a dim figure in the vague outline. David could immediately tell that it was the guy named Edmund who had appeared in the wasteland world during the day.
Edmund looked at David and Viola with a disdainful smirk, then spoke again, "You're a pretty good esper, but in our Zerg's eyes, you're just a creature from the wasteland world. Since you're a creature, you should submit to my feet. Perhaps I can grant you eternal life with our Zerg."
As Edmund spoke, he looked at David with some anticipation, as if waiting for his response. The implication behind his words was clear: Edmund wanted to recruit David to serve the Zerg.
Recalling the battle between David and the Devouring Demon Centipedes, Edmund could vividly remember the images in his mind. He believed that if David were willing to be his servant, the Zerg's power might not be limited to the wasteland world. It might extend to many other hidden worlds as well.
Hearing Edmund's words, Viola looked at David with a sense of unease. If David hadn't acted in time earlier, she might have been pierced through the head by Rainbow. At the same time, she also saw Edmund floating in the courtyard's airspace.
Edmund's words made David chuckle coldly. He naturally understood that this was Edmund's attempt at recruiting him. However, he had not expected Edmund to be associated with the Zerg. Could he be the Zerg King?
After a brief moment of contemplation, David decided to probe Edmund's intentions. He had to clarify this issue because it would give him a new understanding of the Zerg's power.
So David looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Are you part of the Zerg? What does a human like you have to do with the Zerg? From what I see, you're just someone trying to ride on their coattails."
David naturally knew that Edmund wasn't human. The reason he said so was to provoke him. Indeed, upon hearing David's words, Edmund became visibly angry. His body, composed of insects, twisted in the air, seemingly trying to emphasize his immense power deliberately. He, the mighty Zerg leader, the Zerg King, couldn't tolerate being spoken of in such a derogatory manner. If it weren't for David's potential usefulness to the Zerg, he might have killed him right there.
"Hehe, me and the Zerg?" Suppressing his inner anger, Edmund sneered and spoke again. David focused his attention and listened carefully, "To be frank, I rule over all the Zerg because I am the Zerg King. A Zerg King in human form! Hahaha!"
With that, Edmund burst into manic laughter. His laughter seemed to proclaim his power and status in the wasteland world. This laughter echoed infinitely in the dark night, sending shivers down one's spine and invoking terror with just a listen.
At this moment, David finally got the answer he was seeking. However, his brows remained slightly furrowed as he looked at the frenzied figure of Edmund, and his expression grew increasingly serious.
Viola, too, shared this sentiment. She hadn't expected the human she had brought back from the woods during the day to be a Zerg, and even the Zerg King. In other words, she had brought their enemy into their own base, allowing him to leave right under their noses.
As Viola thought about it, her fear grew, and her eyes were filled with dread. Beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead. However, when she saw David standing there, unmoving with a resolute gaze, her racing heart and terrified eyes began to relax.
Because Viola knew that as long as David was present, they could overcome any challenge. Even if the opponent was the Zerg King, who struck fear into the hearts of all living beings in the desolate world, she believed that David would not show any fear.
As Viola had said, although Edmund's true identity had shocked them, David's face had never displayed a hint of fear.
This surprised Edmund, who had been observing David all along. And at that moment, David calmly asked, "So... you killed Bernard and Rainbow?"
Viola could clearly sense the anger in David's voice as he asked this question. Edmund didn't hesitate and nodded, saying, "A worthless sword and a worthless human. What use do they have in this world?"
After saying this, Edmund chuckled disdainfully. It seemed that in his eyes, Bernard's life was utterly insignificant, and Rainbow, possessing consciousness, was nothing more than a piece of scrap metal. However, what he didn't understand was that both Bernard and Rainbow were, strictly speaking, members of David's team in the wasteland world. Now that his team members had been killed by Edmund, how could David endure it? So David raised his head and looked at Edmund, who was still lightly laughing, with a strong intent to kill!
