In the distance, the remnants of the mini-nuclear bomb had not yet dissipated when, several kilometers above, the Church’s trump card was revealed and destroyed by that very same bomb.
As a result, the First Legion immediately seized the advantage.
Right now, the overall situation was basically determined, and before addressing personal matters, Zhou Jiuya briefly handed over the command of the army to his trusted subordinates and swiftly closed all communication channels.
…After all, family matters should not be shown in public.
“Jiang Ci—!!!”
Zhou Jiuya stared intently at that familiar cockpit.
“Are you in there?!”
Of course, he was.
However, in these brief moments of hesitation, Jiang Ci had not yet figured out how to explain to his uncle—about the matters concerning the Gardenia Roses, He Zhun, and his relationship with Huo Xianfeng.
In fact, if one were to carefully analyze it, the complicated relationship between him and Huo Xianfeng, and how the latter managed to pilot the Forbidden Abyss’ wreckage, take away its core, and appear here, were mostly due to his own selfish reasons.
But it was these few seconds of hesitation and silence that made Zhou Jiuya misunderstand.
——He believed that Jiang Ci was under some kind of coercion or threat, which was why he didn’t reply promptly.
After all, everyone knew how intimate the connection between a pilot and their mecha was, especially with how much Xiao X meant to Jiang Ci. For example, if you put Bai Ze and Xiao X together and you had to choose one to lend out, Jiang Ci would definitely only choose to lend out Bai Ze.
Zhou Jiuya knew Jiang Ci too well—he understood his aversion to alphas and his extremely sensitive yet proud self-esteem.
How could someone like him be marked by an alpha?! And even get pregnant?!
It must be because he was forced!!
Definitely forced!!
Furious, Zhou Jiuya was completely blinded by family affection.
Moreover, at this moment, the Legion Commander had no spare energy to think. He had just seen Jiang Ci being directly admitted to the intensive care unit after an overdose of inhibitors more than a month ago. How could Jiang Ci possibly be marked by an alpha in such a short time?!! …..to be knotted, or even become pregnant?!!
In this world, the concentration of pheromones and their quality basically represent the strength of an alpha. What could make an alpha like Zhou Jiuya feel a strong threat? Apart from the deceased Huo Chao, there is currently no one else!
This proved that even if Jiang Ci was an exceptionally powerful omega, when faced with another stronger alpha, the possibility of him being forcibly marked was not nonexistent.
It’s even quite a large possibility!
“Huo Xianfeng!” Zhou Jiuya’s voice was already very deep, and with this close-range roar, it almost made Huo Xianfeng’s eardrums buzz.
“What have you done to Jiang Ci?!!”
…What have you done to Jiang Ci?
The person involved finally couldn’t listen any longer. The silver-haired major general’s face blackened and he replied angrily, “Nothing happened!! Stop asking!!”
But the next moment, the voice of the omega was instantly overwhelmed by Zhou Jiuya’s even more furious and anxious voice.
“Nothing?! Then how the hell do you have his pheromones on you?!! And it’s so damn strong?!!”
Omegas themselves weren’t aware of it, but for other alphas, injecting a large amount of pheromones into their omegas was a naked expression of sovereignty.
Jiang Ci: “…”
Damn it!
He clearly tried hard to conceal the pheromones on his body, and he even sprayed a considerable amount of pheromone masking agent.
Even if there was a little diffusion, it shouldn’t be detectable through two cockpit layers, unless…

Similarly, at this moment, Ye Shuo, who was also sitting in the cockpit of Wan Jiang, caught a whiff of Jiang Ci’s scent. In reality, omega pheromones have a very subtle scent, but the alpha pheromones mixed within it were too fierce, arrogantly proclaiming their presence.
At this point, it even emitted an unusually sharp and fierce repulsion and attack against all other alphas attempting to smell the omega pheromones. This situation could either be that Jiang Ci was injected with an excessively high amount of alpha pheromones, or they had already completed the bonding.
But…
There was already the unique scent of a pregnant omega in it. So, it was definitely the latter!
The night Ye Shuo checked on Jiang Ci in that alley, he found that all the dead bodies were alphas. He even investigated Old Snake and thought that Jiang Ci might have been taken away by the Jiang family’s spies hidden on Winter Day Planet.
Who would have thought…
“Zhou Jiuya!!!”
Among the five of them back then, excluding the irreplaceable Huo Chao, Jiang Jingsheng was the one Ye Shuo liked the most. Furthermore, the latter crafted a specially designed mechanical prosthetic arm for him.
But now, Jiang Jingsheng’s only flesh and blood relative has been kidnapped, marked, and even impregnated!!!
Ye Shuo felt his vision go black, and if he weren’t already in an extremely weakened state, he would have wanted to directly beat Zhou Jiuya senseless and then dismember this alpha called Huo Xianfeng!
“—Is this how you raise a child?!!!”
Even though Jiang Ci had reached adulthood and entered his youth, in this interstellar era where the average human lifespan was about five hundred years, he was still a child in front of Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shuo.
“I…!”
The furious Legion Commander was rendered speechless.
When he took Jiang Ci back, he personally took care of everything, meticulously and diligently raising the child for eight years, from a less than five-year-old toddler to a thirteen-year-old. Although he later had to send him back to the Jiang family for certain reasons, that didn’t mean he completely let go!
It was just that Jiang Ci entered his rebellious phase, making it challenging for their relationship to work.
Despite having the best-laid plans, when a child becomes unruly and is lured away by some cunning alpha to become pregnant, what options does a parent have?
Seeing the cockpit of the Forbidden Abyss suddenly fall into a dead silence, the infuriated Legion Commander once again angrily questioned, “Huo Xianfeng! Did you mark him?!”
“Uh…”
After a moment, the interrogated individual hesitated and replied, “Well… you could say, I marked him…?”
These few words made Huo Xianfeng hesitate in several places. After all, the more accurate answer in his heart was—
That night, Jiang Ci held a gun to his head and forced him to mark the omega. He had misunderstood the situation, thinking the other was doing it for his child, forcing him to resort to this measure. However, such an explanation sounded too absurd.
As this reached the ears of an outsider, it only fueled rage.
He had just admitted to marking Jiang Ci, but now he was still hesitating and wavering!
Zhou Jiuya glared with a dark expression, his molars almost grinding audibly as if he were desperately suppressing something.
However, he still intended to clarify the situation first.
“So… is the child in him also yours?!”
Jiang Ci, who was misunderstood to be a pregnant omega for the Nth time: “…”
This damn pregnancy joke seems to be inescapable!!!
Huo Xianfeng, who had suddenly become a father, was shocked, “…Huh?!!!”
He reflexively waved his hands, immediately retorting, “No, no, no, what nonsense are you spouting? How could it be mine?!”
Not his?
Once these words were spoken, both the expressions on Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shuo’s faces froze for an instant. However, it only lasted for a moment, and the next second, their faces immediately turned as gloomy as an oil pit.
He had just acknowledged marking Jiang Ci, but now he was saying the child wasn’t his… Even the most despicable alpha in the world wouldn’t utter such unethical words!!!
At this moment, Jiang Ci finally realized that the situation had spiraled out of control like a galloping wild horse, heading in a direction of no return. He hastily explained,
“I am not…”
Bang—!!!
A massive sound drowned out Jiang Ci’s voice, and except for Huo Xianfeng, the other two didn’t even hear him at all.
Wan Jiang swung its giant sword high—
“You still won’t admit it?!!!”
Seeing that the other party was actually making a move, Huo Xianfeng had to immediately retreat. Still, the sword’s residual force brushed against him, leaving a long and charred mark on the side of the mecha’s chest.
“Hiss…”
The young man casually rubbed his chest, frowned and tsk-ed, quickly distancing himself.
In reality, he was very aware that using an A-rank mecha core to drive the SSS-level Forbidden Abyss and endure the high-intensity battle just now was already quite challenging.
It would be impossible for him to engage in an epic battle against the SS-ranked Wan Jiang right now.
Even if his spiritual power was immense, it couldn’t make up for the massive hardware gap. It was like when he piloted a B-rank mecha; even though his spiritual power and combat skills were on par with, or even surpassed Jiang Ci, he still had no resistance when directly shot by Bai Ze’s spear.
A mecha’s rank might not sound like a big deal, but in reality, it was an insurmountable chasm!
This was also the reason why both the Empire and the Church were determined to fight over the Forbidden Abyss’ core.
Huo Xianfeng muttered, “…Tsk,”
If I had known, I wouldn’t have returned the sword so quickly.
The Forbidden Abyss also had a weapon—a halberd, but he didn’t know where it was at the moment. That’s why he impulsively took Zhou Jiuya’s weapon a moment ago.
Due to the limited energy of the Forbidden Abyss, converting it into firepower shells would be impractical as it wouldn’t even last some rounds. Therefore, Huo Xianfeng chose hand-to-hand combat.
Bang!
The two sides had entered an intense exchange, each clash creating a fierce wind current. However, the young man had no intention of actually fighting with Zhou Jiuya. After all, they were not mortal enemies, and the temporary core made him feel very uncomfortable…
So everyone immediately discovered——
The Forbidden Abyss was only passively defending and evading, but its movements visibly became slower than before. After all, Xiao X was just a temporary substitute, an A-level mecha core forced to power a SSS-class mecha…
If Xiao X’s voice system wasn’t malfunctioning, it would probably cry out in despair, “This is simply too difficult, too difficult!”
At this moment, under the furious rage, Wan Jiang’s moves increased their aggressiveness. The electric light from the sword’s edge emitted a sharp whistling sound, and it was about to strike the Forbidden Abyss in the forehead!
Huo Xianfeng, who had intended to counterattack, found that all his commands were issued with his huge spiritual power, but Xiao X’s operation had reached its limit.
In this critical moment, Forbidden Abyss’ movements suddenly became stiff for a second.
Buzz—!
Following that flaw, a bright silver light suddenly shot out from Wan Jiang’s chest.
Crack!
With a shocking crisp sound, a silver spear shot out——
A huge silver giant suddenly appeared between the two, like a dagger piercing out from top to bottom, thrusting into the battlefield,
“Enough of this!” Jiang Ci couldn’t bear it any longer; this pregnancy joke had been ongoing ever since he entered Winter Day Planet!
“Stop!!!”
The sharp silver line clashed against the sharp blade, while at the same time, Bai Ze landed heavily on the ground, holding its long spear and turning it sharply.
The sharp spearhead slid down along the blade, producing numerous crackling sounds of black and gold flickering flames. In the collision of the weapon’s edges, he forcefully swung it outward.
Although he didn’t have the strength of Wan Jiang, the angle he chose was quite clever, giving a sense of easily handling a heavy load due to the momentum.
Whoosh!
The Legion Commander was caught off guard by his little cabbage and was sent flying.
Zhou Jiuya: “…???”
“???!!!”
No matter how shocked he was, years of combat experience allowed him to react instinctively. Wan Jiang adeptly flipped in the air, and its huge heavy sword slammed into the ground, creating a trench of dozens of meters on the ground before finally stopping.
At the same time, Huo Xianfeng looked at the familiar silver back before him, his memories from the Earth battlefield suddenly flooding his mind. He stared blankly for a moment, then widened his eyes, letting out a complicated sigh.
“Ah…”
In fact, the Forbidden Abyss was much larger than Wan Jiang. Standing next to Bai Ze, it was like a 1.9-meter giant compared to his petite 1.6-meter wife.
But at this moment, the giant seemed to have no discomfort at all, hiding behind his petite wife. When he looked at Wan Jiang, he even showed a bit of fake concern.
“Hey, Legion Commander, are you okay?”
But in reality, the true meaning of this sentence was—Look, Laozi has backup! You can’t beat me to death!
“…”
While it was true that he couldn’t be beaten, Zhou Jiuya was simply on the verge of losing his mind!!!
Initially, he brought Bai Ze along just in case something happened to Jiang Ci… He never expected Jiang Ci to get into such a huge trouble, and Bai Ze, whom he brought along, to stab him in the back.
If Zhou Jiuya’s body was a bit weaker, he might have vomited blood long ago.
Wan Jiang raised his heavy sword, pointing it directly at Bai Ze, sternly rebuking, “Jiang Ci——!!!”
Zhou Jiuya’s voice trembled in anger, “Do you even know what the hell you’re doing right now?!”
In the past, Jiang Ci had also sparred with him, but it was always on the training grounds. Although the uncle and nephew almost beat each other to death during their fights, like they didn’t have a close family relationship, it seemed more like they hated each other and wanted to kill each other. However, from Zhou Jiuya’s perspective, it didn’t feel that way. After all, they were both soldiers, and fighting on the training grounds was normal. For him, it was a form of guidance and care from an elder to his youngest.
But now, things were different—
“You’re actually fighting with your superior! With your elder, all for the sake of this wild man?!!”
Huo “Wild Man” Xianfeng: “…?”
Huh?
😂
Oh goodness 😭 I already have a headache!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Bwahahaha! How long before Jiang Ci finally confesses he’s not pregnant by the Wild Man?! 😂
