Chapter 1349: 19.8 Second Red Star - In the Throne Hall
King Augustus Kaiser first met with the Chief Warden and Warden Yun Ming before calling the officials and nobles to court. These people only assembled when summoned by their king since they had become accustomed to him being late. Even Queen Titania and the harem residents were called this time, although they could not meet the king until after the court session.
The Male Zergs led most of the officials and nobles. They were slim but not very beautiful, in contrast to the delicacy of King Augustus and Conrad Silver. When the king arrived, they bowed their heads. However, observing the distinction between King Augustus and Conrad Silver, the other male zergs, is like comparing a gorgeous rosebud to a bean sprout.
The rose represents King Augustus Kaiser and Marquess Conrad Silver, while the bean sprout represents the other male zergs.
In front of the King of Zergs, the female militants were all kneeling on one knee. The position of female zergs differs greatly from that of males. When it came to the stark disparity in treatment between the sexes, Queen Titania was forced to grit her teeth in silence.
Colonel Cyril Bailey, the wife of the Marquess, opened the door to allow King Augustus Kaiser to enter the throne hall. Chief Warden Marquess Conrad Silver should normally be in charge, but as he attempted to push the door, it remained in place, causing King Augustus, Colonel Cyril, and the concealed System Yue to chuckle quietly.
As a result, Colonel Cyril was ultimately responsible for opening the door, which is morally just in this universe.
Due to his innocent nature, this official treated the first Augustus Kaiser like a puppet ruler. He went back in time to a moment before the wicked one commandeered the vessel. In the initial plan, the evil one was supposed to demonstrate his authority at this court session by lowering the status of the female zergs and suppressing all other male zergs as subjects of his will.
Only momentarily did the others’ presence in the royal hall become less apparent due to the wicked one’s atmosphere of impending danger.
However, King Augustus Kaiser’s current owner is a sovereign god who, by his very existence, has subdued everyone. Silent but deadly, this poisonous aura will be greatly felt by those with sensitive senses and completely muffled by those with dense senses.
As was to be expected, the entire royal hall fell silent as soon as the door opened and King Augustus stepped forward. The only sound in the quiet hall is his leisurely footsteps. Sadly, their bodies were immobile, and they were unable to greet the king as they would have liked. With this Zerg King in their midst, all they can do is keep their heads down.
Queen Titania, who was among the audience and had memories of his former existence, was perplexed by this drastic departure from King Augustus Kaiser. In his past life, he had seen the hall go silent for a split second as that evil one used the king’s vessel to appear at the court hearing.

He had prepared to murder Augustus Kaiser and whoever the one inside him was, but he never imagined that he would be rendered helpless against this bastard King and repressed like the rest.
Queen Titania’s thoughts: ’How the hell can he suppress me!? Did that evil thing get stronger? If so, I can keep this king alive for any longer!’
At this moment, Queen Titania made a decision to kill King Augustus Kaiser as soon as he got the opportunity to do so.
No one was able to raise their heads until King Augustus sat on his throne with an indifferent and bored look on his face. Marquess Conrad Silver and Colonel Cyril Bailey stood on each of his sides, which shows their high standing in the heart of the king.
"You may raise your heads," King Augustus Kaiser said.
That voice was so calm and collected that everyone had to follow it. The sight of a small, half grown King Augustus occupying the throne astounded them. Everyone shivers reflexively, seeing those red eyes staring down at them. They were unable to comprehend why the feeble-willed king had transformed so drastically after only a minor maturation.
Their throats were constricting the words they wanted to utter. Those sharp, deep, crimson eyes glowed with contempt when they met.
People who wished to be critical of his changes were forced to remain silent. Their gut tells them to stay away. They said they would die right then and there, but they said the incorrect thing. Good instincts are highly intelligent. They choose to remain silent and watch.
Regarding the dumb ones, Count Kolo, a fat, idiotic nobleman, made a statement. Like he often did, he seemed to have forgotten the aura that had just completely subdued him and made a demand of King Augustus.
Count Kolo spoke, "Your Majesty, what’s wrong? You are not like this before. How can you suppress us, your loyal retainers like this? Also, why allow a female Zerg to stand beside you? It’s so unbecoming of you as a King."
The words of this count were heard by everyone in the throne hall. Those who are smart made a clear distance from this fool. While those who liked Count Kolo gathered together, wanting to put pressure on the king,.
"That’s right, Your Majesty! Even though Colonel Bailey is Marquess Conrad’s wife, standing beside the king as a female zerg is not something to be done. It would make other male zergs belittle the king!"
"Marquess Conrad Silver, don’t you know the laws of the Hive? Female Zergs aren’t allowed to stand on the same side as their male masters."
"The Colonel must be punished!"
"We demand justice."
The antifemale gang continued to spew rubbish, oblivious to the menacing glimmer in Marquess Conrad Silver’s purple eyes. Conrad Silver’s background indicates that he is one of the male zergs who genuinely looks out for their female zergs. He rejected the concubines and female zerg servants the palace had previously given him because he genuinely loves Cyril Bailey.
He has the lowest standing in the Male Zergs Association as a result of this, and the Noble Male Zergs despise him as well. He is also one of the nobility that the first Augustus Kaiser elevated to the rank of Marquess in return for keeping Queen Titania safe in secret.
For their own selfish gain, a gang of nobility never stops talking gibberish. Among the Hive’s most attractive female zergs is Colonel Cyril Bailey. He may not have as much power as Queen Titania, but he is still a tasty meal when compared to the other male zergs. Grateful male zergs also pursue the most attractive and strong female zergs.
Ultimately, the greater a female zerg’s strength, the greater the thrill of defeating them. These are the harmful genes that male zergs inherit.
When Marquess Conrad Silver sees the lust for his wife in the eyes of the nobles led by Count Kolo, his eyes gradually turn deadly. These men are really repulsive, but he knew he could not move without his master’s consent. The aristocrats standing silently on the side gasp in shock as his glare grows more and more icy. They were baffled as to how Marquess Conrad Silver became so powerful.
Similar to the extent of King Augustus Kaiser’s alterations, Marquess Conrad Silver’s rise to prominence also took them by surprise. These astute ones could not but regard the Count Kolo-led gang as if it were a body waiting to be uncovered.
As predicted, as they shift their positions and steal a glimpse of the monarch seated on the throne, he observes that he is staring scornfully at Count Kolo and the other members of his company, perhaps questioning why this thing is still alive. Despite his seeming indifference, there is no mistaking the disgust on his face.
"Belittle? Demand? I heard bugs chattering endless nonsense in my ears. It’s irritating. Since when did you... mere little bugs can demand something from this king?
I hate it when people threaten me!"
Controlling his mental powers, King Augustus Kaiser sent a dreadful feeling over the entire castle. If the original Augustus Kaiser was limited to a S+ ability, then the God of Void’s takeover unlocked all of his potential. He is currently the only person with the SSS Mental Ability—a power that the mythical Zerg Emperor held.
The man, led by Count Kolo, found himself encircled by a transparent barrier that resembled a bubble, and they shook wildly because they were unable to breathe inside it. They can gradually feel an unseen force squeezing their bodies. All were in disbelief at such a tremendous mental aptitude.
They observe the king on the throne grinning wickedly at this spectacle; it appears that Augustus Kaiser’s hands control the mental abilities of the barrier enclosing Count Kolo and the others. The power behind the barrier struck whatever was within the pool of blood the instant he clasped his hand. Blood rain burst forth into the throne hall, showering the other patrons.
It did not effect anyone other than the three men in the throne area.
King Augustus Kaiser declared, "I don’t care what you want to do or what you plan to achieve. Anyone who goes against me will end up like that. If you want to rebel, get ready to be exterminated. You can leave and send the harem in."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
All of the militants in the hall, together with the officials and aristocrats, departed. They were frightened by what the King had just stated. The apex of Hive’s might had shifted as a result of the methods Augustus Kaiser had just demonstrated. Queen Titania, who was rumored to have SS+ class potential, was overpowered by King Augustus’s might.
He demonstrated his strength by being able to kill with only his thinking faculties. They could not help but try to think back on all they had kept concealed behind their backs and wanted to clear everything up before the king discovered them, now that the monarch had declared his might.
After a while, the hall was occupied only by Titania Ambrosia. As the queen, he rules over the harem. Given that female zergs are naturally stronger than male zergs, he should be the strongest member of the Hive rather than the King. However, he was astounded at King Augustus’s might. If this man feels like it, he is more than capable of eradicating an entire race.
System Yue quickly examined the main character in front of him to see if he was Lord Hei’s soul fragment. Sadly, it is difficult for him to determine whether or not this man is a soul fragment. The pieces of Lord Hei’s soul have been trying to blend in lately.
They would not have believed that Mo Xuejing was the soul piece of Lord Hei in the previous realm if he had not visited the small world following that brief attempt.
King Augustus Kaiser asked in his mind, ’How is it, Yue? Is it him?’
System Yue responded, [Master, Lord Hei’s soul fragments are hiding all their traces to the point they even sealed their own memories. This one doesn’t have a trace, but... He fits the bill if I am to choose a vessel for Lord Hei’s soul in this world. But he is a protagonist. Is it possible for Lord Hei’s soul fragment to be the protagonist of the world?]
Queen Titania, in the opinion of Augustus Kaiser, was a suitable fit for his wife’s soul. However, he is still unable to sense anything from him. If his link to the small world was broken, he wanted to use it, but for some reason he couldn’t. That one he cannot use to verify if these are shards of his wife’s soul or not. There is an alternative, but unless he was forced to, he did not want to take it.
Skinship is the method. He can sense them more strongly the closer his soul is to this wife’s soul fragment.
"I don’t want to touch others unless it’s necessary," is the God of Void’s thought at the moment.
He is so focused on his conversation with System Yue that he hasn’t even noticed that Queen Titania is also watching him closely.
Queen Titania’s thought was, ’Something is wrong. Augustus would never possess such strength. Also, he didn’t have that disgusting aura that an evil entity emits. Who the hell is this man?’
