Pheromone Recognition DisorderCh47 - How dare you entertain such thoughts?

Inside the massive mecha repair facility, the Forbidden Abyss was positioned on the ground, with enormous metal claws hoisting its arms from above.

Technicians, each the size of a grain of rice, were scattered across the colossal steel giant. They were suspended in mid-air with cables, heads lowered, observing the silver-haired omega below. ndL9MD

At this moment, the lead technician in charge noticed Jiang Ci and promptly approached.

“Major General Jiang Ci, Technician Chief Yang Tian hasn’t been feeling well these days, so I’m taking over. You can call me He Xu.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

By now, Jiang Ci had already composed himself, concealing any trace of the embarrassment and confusion he had displayed in the elevator. The Major General nodded slightly, his gaze briefly lingering on the unfamiliar face before calmly shifting away.

“Well, you should have received the orders, right? During this period, I will be in charge of guarding the Forbidden Abyss. You don’t need to worry about the situation in the Cuneiform District; Cheng Jin has already gone to handle it.” Jiang Ci explained. jYfOVv

“Yes, sir. We appreciate your efforts,” the chief technician extended his hand, smiling warmly. “—Then, please follow me.”

“…….”

However, Jiang Ci remained unmoved. He scanned the surroundings, furrowing his eyebrows slightly. Pointing to a large instrument in the distance, he inquired, “—What is that?”

In the distance, there were four large, peculiarly shaped black instruments placed at each corner of the Forbidden Abyss. The chief technician hesitated for a moment, but his expression remained composed as he explained with a smile, “It’s a new detection device, Major General.”

—Lies

There is a father who is known as the humankind’s father of the New Era’s science and technology. Although he passed away early, leaving little guidance, the teachings from his family’s heritage were ingrained in Jiang Ci’s memory, and he was thoroughly familiar with them.

That was clearly not a detection device. A detector wouldn’t require such high energy voltage, surpassing even the superconducting electromagnetic guns equipped on mechas.

Are they the Church’s people? 6Lesvf

Or someone associated with Ye Shu?

Jiang Ci pondered in his mind. Meanwhile, Huo Xianfeng, who had just come out of the elevator, also sensed that something was amiss. He raised his head and noticed a golden line on the wreckage.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly. Such a pure gold color couldn’t have been accidentally smeared during battle, let alone during the maintenance process. Most importantly, this color reminded him of the so-called “Holy Stigmata” on Cruzi’s body.

At this moment, Jiang Ci, seemingly sensing something, turned to look back, and Huo Xianfeng swiftly exchanged a glance with him. The latter nodded slightly, speaking casually, “You guys continue with your work; I’ll just take a casual look around.” xiWCse

The moment the silver-haired Major General turned around, a solemn voice sounded from the embedded biological chip behind his ear, “A-Ci, from the time you first got on the elevator just now, the signal has been completely blocked and no messages can be transmitted.”

His steps hesitated for a moment, yet before he could react, a chilling voice sounded from behind him.

“—Indeed, you have a really keen sense of observation.”

The person behind him suddenly moved like lightning, grabbing Jiang Ci’s shoulder tightly. 6i7xLS

Crack!

Jiang Ci’s face turned pale. The next moment, in a dazzling white light, Bai Ze transformed into a long spear and thrust forward. The person behind him quickly drew a sharp black military dagger, narrowly blocking the attack.

Clash!

[Jiang… Ci…] JFbkW4

The man slowly pronounced his name, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly due to excitement. With a slight twitch, pixel-like static lights flickered on his face. Gradually, his original profile was revealed, and his hawk-like eyes appeared, boldly examining the excessively exquisite and dazzling face of the omega.

“Long time no see. It’s a pity; compared to when you were a child, your milky scent has diluted quite a lot.”

The silver-haired omega’s pupils suddenly shook as if countless fragmented images swept through his mind like a gust of wind.

When Jiang Ci was ten years old, he had been kidnapped, and after that incident, Zhou Jiuya terminated the legal guardianship relationship with him and sent him back to the Jiang family. QhlYML

He gritted his teeth, almost spitting out the name from between them—

“….Leinster!”

Clang—!!!

Jiang Ci fiercely thrust with his spear, and the other quickly raised his hand to block, the blades clashing, sparking and splattering. Between the burning sparks, the two quickly exchanged blows for a dozen rounds. 5FCo y

Bang!!!

In the end, Jiang Ci fiercely swept the spear, creating countless crackling lights, forcing the other party to step back and open up the distance.

At this moment, his crimson eyes did not hide his extreme disgust, y5UkM6

“You really are… as disgusting as ever, Leinster!”

At this point, Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. He stood behind, not intervening carelessly. Although there was not much change in his facial expression, the pressure around him instantly cooled down.

However, it was obvious that Leinster did not regard the young man behind Jiang Ci at this moment. His gaze simply passed over Huo Xianfeng, who was standing still, and returned to Jiang Ci.

“Really… I originally planned to take down the wreckage of Forbidden Abyss and then find you. I didn’t expect that you would come to me on your own…” gVojJc

At this moment, Leinster suddenly snapped his fingers, and a dozen figures rushed from behind,

—They were all technicians who were working on the Forbidden Abyss!

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

These people had turbid yellowish-white eyes without pupils, and their faces were covered with hideous golden patterns, looking extremely terrifying.

Compared with those alpha officers who liked to compete fiercely on the battlefield or training ground, Jiang Ci had a better relationship with these calm and introverted technicians. Therefore, there were many familiar faces among them. nGV 0C

But back then, when He Zun heard about it, he made a rare, disdainful sneer. 8ycapv

[It’s just a means of stimulating human potential using some kind of biotechnology.]

[As for the fanaticism of those believers, it might just be some suggestion implanted in their brains.]

He Zun had always had an indifferent appearance from childhood to adulthood, and Jiang Ci was quite amazed by this sharp and mocking tone. Therefore, his impression was particularly deep.

However, when he asked further, his friend just waved his hand and chuckled, ijGJlV

[Oh, what would I know? It’s just a critique on feudal superstition from a medical student who believes in materialism.]

But now, regardless of whether he knew something back then, those words have turned into reality at this moment.

Boom—!!!

At this moment, the ground suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light. 8YH3SK

The technicians who were originally running wildly suddenly froze—as if they were hit by an irresistible force—and they fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.

A formidable and invisible force rushed from the underground. Leinster was caught off guard, staggered, and his left kneecap roughly hit the ground with a bang.

Jiang Ci’s movements also abruptly stopped, and his legs buckled suddenly. Yet at this moment, a hand smoothly wrapped around his waist, embracing the omega’s falling body.

Jiang Ci turned around abruptly, and the cold profile of the young man entered his sight. He was slightly stunned. 2YafEl

“….Huo Xianfeng?”

A brief astonishment flashed through his mind, but Jiang Ci immediately reacted.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

—Huo Xianfeng activated the gravity magnetic field.

In general, the maintenance rooms for mechas are equipped with gravity magnetic fields, which are used to either reduce gravity, facilitating the repair of mechas weighing millions of tons, or enhance gravity to test the mecha’s pressure resistance. 8gQDyC

After all, not every planet has the same gravitational force value. And in the mecha repair room capable of repairing the Forbidden Abyss, there would naturally be the most cutting-edge gravity magnetic field device.

“Damn it…!”

At this moment, Leinster also realized what had happened. He angrily exclaimed, “Gravity magnetic field! Who activated the gravity magnetic field?!”

“Stop yelling, stop yelling,” Huo Xianfeng waved his hand, “—It’s your grandfather, me.” x1lz6i

Leinster choked, “…”

Jiang Ci: “…”

For some reason, looking at Leinster’s bruised face, the frustration and anger that had just filled Jiang Ci’s heart suddenly dissipated. However, his slightly lifted spirits lasted only for a few seconds. The large hand that was originally resting on his waist suddenly moved upward, grabbing the back of his collar.

Jiang Ci: “…?” DQiBpq

The next moment, the silver-haired Major General felt his throat tighten, and his entire body was lifted into the air.

Woosh—!

A tremendous force struck, and the shocked omega was directly thrown out of the gravity magnetic field by Huo Xianfeng’s hand.

Jiang Ci: “…??” GzBy8d

The invisible gravity disappeared suddenly, and Jiang Ci felt his body lighten. Instinctively, he adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed gracefully, like a cat.

Jiang Ci looked at the back of the young man in front of him, his expression slightly dazed.

Huo Xianfeng’s lazy posture seemed as usual, showing no signs of discomfort in this gravity field.

“I mean,” he sneered, “you’re such a piece of trash that you have to call for help when fighting an omega.” Ey3 pG

“…Ah,”

Here, the difference between Leinster and Cruzi became evident. If it were the latter, he would have been infuriated by such a remark and might have jumped up and down in anger. However, Leinster just slightly narrowed his eyes in displeasure and spoke in a low voice, “Tigma! Keep an eye on Jiang Ci; the core is in his hands!”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“Yes!”

Jiang Ci traced the source of the voice and turned his head. Surprisingly, there was another person standing in the shadow of a giant pillar. ngeS1u

It seemed like a fierce battle was about to unfold.

Jiang Ci’s expression turned cold as he tightened his grip on the silver spear in his hand.

On the other side, Leinster had gradually adapted to the double gravity. He stood up, scrutinizing Huo Xianfeng’s face with a sarcastic look. After a moment, he sneered, “Indeed, there’s a resemblance to Huo Chao, but not a lot.”

Huo Xianfeng: “…” TigeBV

Although he held some respect for Marshal Huo Chao in his heart, he couldn’t avoid feeling the irritation when everyone mentioned him in the same breath as the other—saying, “You look like xxx,” followed by a sarcastic laugh, and adding, “Do you know that, even if you resemble him, you’re not as good as xxx?”

—This blatant ridicule was really annoying.

Huo Xianfeng strongly suspected that these Church people were all hardcore fans turned haters of Marshal Huo Chao. Otherwise, why did everyone, upon seeing him, felt the need to say, “You look like him,” and then accompany it with a mocking comment?

Especially, they—kept—talking!!! A97B1F

“That guy used to be so majestic, hailed as the Alliance’s War God. Now he has become a savior, worshiped at the altar by everyone. How did he turn into brat with no hair…”

“Hiss—”

Leinster’s words were cut off by a short gasp.

“Huh? You actually ogled me?” XJZ Cl

Huo Xianfeng shook his head, displaying a very disdainful look, and exclaimed, “Pervert!”

Leinster: “…?”

Jiang Ci: “…….”

The originally tense and nervous atmosphere instantly collapsed. eOckds

Jiang Ci silently turned his face away, suddenly feeling speechless and amused.

Indeed, this was Huo Xianfeng’s style.

Apparently, this is how it feels to see other people fall under his attack.

Leinster finally reacted. The fact that this guy made a  dirty joke with him, an alpha, was not very harmful, but it’s extremely insulting. CQ TpR

In this brief moment of bewilderment, Huo Xianfeng launched an attack without warning. A sharp blade thrust straight toward Leinster’s throat. In an instant, Leinster swiftly retreated, and his collar was sliced open, narrowly missing his windpipe by a few millimeters.

This scene was quite thrilling. If his reaction had been 0.1 second slower, or if it had been just a few millimeters off, it could have severed his trachea. Leinster’s eyes widened, unable to conceal the shock in his pupils.

Although Cruzi was stupid, his combat strength was unquestionable. However, based on the footage that came back, he was taken down by Jiang Ci. Therefore, Leinster had no precise judgment of Huo Xianfeng’s combat prowess.

This guy looked like a popular idol who relied on his looks to eat, but in that split second of their exchange, Leinster instantly confirmed that he was even more formidable than Jiang Ci! vCTa y

His hawk-like eyes narrowed. Who exactly is this guy in front of him?!

Clang! The combat dagger suddenly increased in size, splitting in half and forming a cross, firmly blocking the knife that was thrusting towards him.

“I underestimated you!” Leinster’s expression turned cold, his eyes faintly tinged with red. With a sudden force, he swept both blades.

Snap! Of54Xd

The electromagnetic sparks crackled and burst in all directions.

Huo Xianfeng didn’t engage in a direct confrontation. Instead, he took a step back, releasing the dagger and quickly dissipating the tremendous force.

Ding, clang! 5Bgc4M

Xiao X was suddenly sent flying.

Huo Xianfeng lowered his body abruptly, and the blade of the combat knife cut off a few strands of his hair.

If there were a camera capturing this moment’s details, it would reveal that the fallen hair didn’t even make a sound as it broke, instantly disintegrating in the electric current at the moment of rupture. This was a top-notch battle that would be challenging to film even in a movie setting!

Even though his weapon was knocked away, the young man showed no panic. With one hand on the ground as support, he spun his legs and executed a powerful spin kick. His whole body seemingly transformed into a swift spear, almost too fast to discern the afterimages. ZV40gy

Boom!

Leinster was sent flying instantly. He forcefully embedded the combat knife into the ground, sliding over for  ten meters before managing to come to a stop. However, the opponent had already launched a rapid assault, closing in on him directly.

“What…?!”

Sharp, swift, fierce, unpredictable, yet free-spirited. Ir2Z f

The young man’s demeanor had completely lost its usual laziness. His jet-black pupils resembled an abyss that could not be fathomed, and his whole person appeared entirely like a sophisticated and top-notch combat machine.

This familiar, nearly flawless close-quarters combat style without any apparent weaknesses made Leinster inevitably think of someone he knew. However, at this moment, he had no time to utter a single word as he concentrated all his strength to resist the opponent’s relentless attacks.

On the other hand, Jiang Ci was not in an easy situation either. He only hastily glanced at Huo Xianfeng, discovering that this guy could effortlessly overpower his opponent with his bare hands in the double gravity field.

“…” x7EghK

—What kind of monster is this???

Huo Xianfeng wasn’t one to indulge in idle chatter during a fight. His battles never followed any turn-based system but belonged entirely to the type that struck to take your life while you were vulnerable.

He reached back with his right hand, grabbing at the empty air.

 Buzz… TVWswN

The dagger that had just been previously sent flying away rushed like a meteor, directly aiming for Leinster’s right eye.

The latter’s pupils contracted, a familiar feeling of time and space dislocation creeping up his spine like an electric current.

What’s going on? This familiar move?!!

In the split second when his thoughts froze, his body’s instincts swiftly predicted the trajectory of the dagger, and he instinctively tilted his head to avoid it. ZUAsYR

At this moment, every movement seemed to completely overlap with that scene long, long ago—

The gray-haired Church member narrowly dodged a dagger attack aimed at his face.

[Huo Chao! Why have you betrayed us?!]

His eyes widened, a furious shout escaping his lips as he faced the black-haired youth’s assault head-on. iMHK 4

Swish—

However, the other party suddenly turned his feet, and the military boots on the metallic floor produced a piercing, sharp sound.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

This sharp sound seemed like a spear, piercing through his gray memories and thunderously slamming him into the present.

Astonishingly, Huo Xianfeng had also changed directions in an instant, just like that person from his distant memories, directly bypassing Leinster at the very last moment. wcuaSq

Pa!

He precisely grabbed the airborne dagger handle behind Leinster, executing a sleek and elegant dagger dance, turning the blade, and without hesitation, directly thrusting forward!

Stab—

The black dagger pierced the heart of the gray-haired Church member. In his memories, Leinster kneeled on the ground, hearing that person’s cold and disdainful words, “I have never been one of you, so how could I betray you?” 47uGJP

The overlapping images of the past and the present diverged in this instant. It was like two rivers flowing in different directions, drifting away—

Clang!

Unexpectedly, something happened without any warning. The anticipated sound of a sharp weapon piercing through flesh did not occur. The sharp blade of the dagger punctured the clothes behind Leinster, but underneath it, there was no skin.

A golden Holy Stigmata surged out from within his body, like a living parasite, tightly entwining around the dagger’s blade, preventing it from getting any closer. 2 5wkU

A hint of surprise finally appeared in the deep black phoenix eyes of the young man. Clearly, this scene was entirely beyond Huo Xianfeng’s predictions.

But it wasn’t over yet. The golden Holy Stigmata, like countless living tentacles, instantly climbed onto the young man’s right arm, piercing into his skin, and then tightly constricting it.

Huo Xianfeng’s pupils suddenly widened.

In that moment— YQPCB4

Countless memory fragments swirled around him like a hurricane. The young man stood in the eye of the storm, desperately trying to grasp those absurd and bizarre scenes.

A towering white tower that seemed to reach up to the heavens.

In the vast cathedral, the Pope sat high on his throne, and behind him stood a massive and peculiar statue.

Huo Xianfeng finally saw the appearance of that deity: eight heads, each displaying expressions of pain, ecstasy, ferocity, or rage… ZiP3El

However, the one in the center bore a face filled with compassion.

Completely mirroring the expression on the Pope’s face seated on the throne.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

[Only you… Only you… have succeeded.]

His Holiness The Pope cradled the child in his arms, gently caressing the boy’s hair and sighing, “From today onwards, Huo Chao, you are the child of God.” c3dwt9

The black-haired boy turned around, cheeks adorned with golden patterns, gazing down in a daze. In his pupils, piled layers of bloody child corpses were reflected.

Whoosh…

A storm of time swept through, transforming the black-haired boy into a young man, tall and dignified.

He stood in front of a massive glass incubator that emitted a faint blue light with gently swaying viscous liquid. Shadows cast spots on his handsome and somewhat inexperienced profile. Koc1Zn

Inside the incubation pod
filled with blue nutrient fluid, the imprisoned Zerg King Cub slowly opened its eyes. Several dozen cold metal tubes were inserted into its back spine, making it appear thin and fragile. If not for the pair of cold, sharp, and distinctly non-human golden vertical pupils, it would seem like an ordinary child of around four or five years old.

Pow.

Its palm pressed against the glass of the incubator, revealing a sinister and ferocious smile. Strange words gently shook from the liquid:

[How dare you, humans…?] JtT0Pw

Giggle —

A sudden sensation of suffocation forcefully pulled Huo Xianfeng back from the chaotic storm of memories.

Leinster clenched the young man’s neck, relishing in the sight of his suffocating and agonized face. “I’ve thought about this scene for a very long time… The day I can casually trample you under my feet…”

“Thought…?” 42UuDj

The vocal cords under his palm slightly vibrated, emitting a soft sneer.

Hummm…

Huo Xianfeng opened his eyes, his left pupil stretching into a fierce, beast-like golden vertical slit. He grinned with a sinister smile, “How the hell… you dare entertain such thoughts?
