My carefree life in space

Chapter 196 War Ends, Cultivation Improves

This sight thoroughly enraged the Zerg king, who roared furiously, its body radiating a powerful energy surge. It brandished its enormous claws and charged towards Moze.

Mo Ze discovered that it was also using mental attacks, which made sense considering its control over the Zerg. He quickly dismissed the people behind him, ordering them to retreat from the area, and then focused on dealing with the Zerg in front of him.

By condensing his mental energy into a tangible form, Mo Ze instantly unleashed a powerful force, easily deflecting the Zerg King's attack.

When the first attack missed, the Zerg King's attacks came down like a storm again, but Mo Ze, with his powerful mental perception, saw every move it made clearly and easily neutralized it.

Defense alone is not enough.

Mo Ze mobilized all his spiritual power, and a layer of pale golden light surrounded his body. His spiritual power transformed into a sword that slashed through the air, carrying great power as it pierced towards the Zerg King.

The Zerg Overlord manipulated its surrounding energy to form a shield, attempting to withstand Moze's attack, but its efforts were clearly futile. Moze's sword pierced its defenses, striking its body, and it let out a painful howl.

Moze did not stop attacking; his sword continued to stab at the Zerg King until its body was riddled with holes and it collapsed with a thud.

With the Insect King dead, the remaining Insects were no threat and were quickly wiped out by Gu Rong and his men.

"Clean up all the insect nests, don't miss a single egg!" Mo Ze ordered expressionlessly. The insect race has an extremely high reproductive rate; if the eggs are not destroyed, once they hatch, there will be a continuous stream of insects attacking.

The Zerg's resounding victory on the battlefield boosted morale throughout the Empire, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over everyone for some time finally dissipated.

However, Mo Ze could not leave. In the days that followed, he led his men to explore the star regions under the Empire's control. As soon as they discovered any trace of the Zerg, they were to be wiped out immediately.

As a result, the small-scale insectoids scattered in various places stopped increasing, and other armies were fully capable of eliminating them. The situation was excellent, and the empire ushered in its most stable era.

However, necessary defenses cannot be relaxed, because the appearance of wormholes is unpredictable, and one day, Zerg from elsewhere may come to the Empire through a wormhole.

This was common knowledge, and even Jin Hongyu didn't expect the empire to be free from Zerg invasions. Therefore, the necessary celebrations and rewards were essential. Thus, the empire lavishly rewarded those who had contributed to the extermination of the Zerg.

Mo Ze naturally deserved the most credit, but he did not appear at the victory celebration banquet. Instead, he returned to Star M19.

"Our great hero is back!" Lin Shushu joked with a smile as soon as Mo Ze appeared.

"Brother Ze is a great hero! I want to be a heroine when I grow up!" Little Mo Lin first expressed her pride in having a heroic brother, and then made a grand vow, which brought everyone to a hearty laugh.

"What, you don't believe me?" Xiao Molin was a little anxious. She ran to Lin Shushu, seeking her comfort, "Sister-in-law, believe me, I will definitely do it."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mo Lin is the best. She will definitely be a heroine when she grows up!" Lin Shushu praised.

"Mo Lin, if you want to be a heroine, you have to start now. You have to learn to be independent and stop clinging to your sister-in-law all the time." Mo Ze pulled little Mo Lin aside and lectured her in a serious manner.

Xiao Molin was a little confused. She wanted to be a heroine, but did that conflict with being close to her sister-in-law?

Jin Siyue found Mo Ze's actions somewhat unbearable to watch, but she wouldn't expose him. Instead, she smiled and said to Mo Lin, "Your brother Ze became independent at a very young age. Now he's become a hero. Mo Lin, do you think you should learn from him?"

"Is that so?" Mo Lin's little mind couldn't quite grasp the relationship between them. She was even more confused. She looked up, wanting to seek an explanation from Lin Shushu, but she had already disappeared. Even Brother Ze was nowhere to be seen.

Where did the two go? They went back to their private space to be lovey-dovey, of course. Everyone else was tactful and didn't bother them. The only exception was Xiao Molin, who was still agonizing over Jin Siyue's question.

As soon as she entered the space, Lin Shushu was embraced by a broad chest. She leaned against Mo Ze's chest, feeling each other's heartbeats.

After a long while, Lin Shushu looked up at Mo Ze and asked, "Your strength has improved?"

"Mmm." Mo Ze simply replied with one word, then lowered his head and covered her lips with his, kissing her gently. This kiss was neither urgent nor passionate, yet it was enough to immerse the two of them in this intimate moment that belonged only to them.

Their meeting was dramatic; their intense feelings came unexpectedly, but they didn't diminish with time. Instead, they grew from a stream into a vast ocean, simply because they met the right person and recognized each other.

Being with someone you like makes every day feel fresh, especially since the two of you have been apart for a while, so you enjoy your time alone together even more.

After the sweet nothings had passed, Lin Shushu remembered the question from earlier and repeated it.

"This time I encountered many advanced insectoids. Fighting them gave me a lot of insights, and my cultivation also broke through," Mo Ze explained.

As expected, combat is a good way to improve one's cultivation level. For the first time, Mo Ze improved his realm on his own without the assistance of spatial spiritual energy, which impressed Lin Shushu.

"Mo Ze, you are amazing. Without relying on the space, you were able to break through from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the late-stage. I am so happy for you!"

Although Mo Ze was happy to receive Lin Shushu's praise, he also knew that he was able to break through in this battle because of his previous accumulation.

"I'm not as good as Shushu, I still need to keep working hard."

Mo Ze understood that his current strength was not high enough to face the storms of the cultivation world. His immediate priority was to improve his cultivation. Once he reached the cultivation world, he not only needed to avoid becoming a burden to Shu Shu, but also to better protect her.

Both of them had a clear understanding of the matter of cultivation, so in the following period they mostly stayed in the space to cultivate, and occasionally fought each other to find each other's weaknesses.

Although those around them were curious as to why the two had stayed in the room and not come out, they were not too worried because they had been told beforehand.

Most people in the Jin Yuan Empire were equally curious.

Since the Zerg War ended, they had thought they would hear news of Moze again and hoped that he would resume his role as the Legion Marshal to protect everyone's safety. However, he disappeared again, which puzzled them greatly.

Some even speculated that he might have been seriously injured in the battle against the Zerg, and sought confirmation from the Imperial authorities.

The reply he received was that he had his own things to do and would not be returning to his original position.

Although there is some regret, no one is dissatisfied now, because those who step forward in critical moments will always deserve everyone's respect.
