Chapter 461: Obsession

Tee knew that Wang Tong was right. Although the Ark was more than capable of defending against a regular assault regardless of the intensity, the addition of an Einherjar on the enemy's side had thrown a wild card in the battle. It would take a while for the Ark to be ready for a battle, and during this time, the ship was vulnerable, especially to the attack of an Einherjar.

”Wang…Tong!”

For some inexplicable reason, the Zerg fleet halted their movement and waited with Patroclus as if the Ivantian prince was their commander.

A gate on the Ark slide opened slowly, and Wang Tong appeared behind the gate, wearing a space METAL.

Both warriors knew that their fight in the Sky Arena was only a prologue to a life-long struggle and competition, however, neither of them had thought that they would continue their fight in such a particular circumstance.

”Sh*t! Who let him out of the ship?” Kaost pounded the desk and shouted.

”It was me, Captain!”

”Tee? Haven't I told you to go to the meeting room number eight?”

”Captain, I would rather be on the front line at this moment. Wang Tong convinced me to let him out and fight the Zergs before they would wage an attack on Ark and catch us by surprise.” Tee announced loudly, as her voice held an unswerving conviction.

Everyone knew that an Einherjar could demolish a spaceship with a snap of his fingers. Therefore, Kaost saw some sense in Wang Tong's actions.

”How long until the energy will be fully charged.”

”At least five minutes, Captain!”

Kaost conceded that it would be the longest five minutes for everyone on the ship. The power of the Einherjar was indisputable. Who would think that the guardians of the human world would turn out to be the biggest threat to their existence?

Sensing the irony, Kaost suppressed an ugly smile.

It was evident that Patroclus couldn't get over the defeat in the Sky Arena, and it was the frustration and desperation that had driven him to seek an alliance with the Zergs. The public's ability to reason had long since been overshadowed by Patroclus's superhuman ability, so no one had seen the Ivantian Prince's fatal flaw: his inability to cope with failure.

The betrayal of the Ivantian Prince was a wake-up call to the public that had come too late. By then, no one had the time or the nerve to ponder over their oversight, as they were distraught by their dire situation. Feeling helpless and desperate, they prayed that Wang Tong would be able to fend off Patroclus's attack long enough for the energy shield to fully charge up.

As Wang Tong approached Patroclus, he noticed that the corrupted Einherjar didn't change much regarding appearance. However, Wang Tong could sense the loud-and-clear otherworldliness in Patroclus' soul energy. It was entirely different than any other forms of soul energy that Wang Tong had experienced. Struggling to keep his composure, Wang Tong heard his brain scream danger at him.

Wang Tong paused and watched his opponent from a distance. With the knowledge that Patroclus intended to kill this time, Wang Tong was surprised that he could barely feel any belligerence in the air. Even the Ivantian's eyes didn't betray his menacing intent as they stared blankly into the distant stars. It was like a poisonous needle wrapped in a soft blanket…Wang Tong reminded himself to be very careful.

”Why?” Wang Tong spoke first. ”You are my most admired warrior. Why would you do this to yourself?” Wang Tong was not alone in his confusion, as everyone on the ship wanted to know what had motivated the Ivantian to make such a drastic decision. Hadn't he realized what his decision meant to the entire human race?

If Patroclus didn't betray the Ark, Jansining and many other warriors would not have died.

Patroclus was amused by Wang Tong's question, as if the latter was oblivious to the answer that had been right in front of him. He pointed the lance to the starlit sky above him and said, ”You need to think outside of the box. Otherwise, you would forever remain a pawn in the other people's game! We have the power and the ability to see through their tricks! All you need is a leap of faith. The universe is boundless, and so is the variety of life forms within it. Why are we so caught up on the idea that humans are the 'right' form of life? If you can get past that, you will see that the Zergs were not a threat. Instead, they are an opportunity for us to reach beyond the limits of our physical body. Human's intelligence combined with the Zerg's biological body will help us conquer the entire universe. ”
