Chapter 75 – Rough Star Pirate Leader VS War God Empire Prince [AA] (2)
Chester is an extremely formidable guy in terms of combat strength, rumored to have an insane 4S level of both spiritual power and physique. It is said that even the empire’s strongest generals are his subordinates.
The military is greatly troubled by this, and in the end, they had to reach an agreement with the space pirates. They allocated several small planets on the edge to the space pirates and agreed to provide them with supplies periodically to avoid their harassment.
Mu Shao strongly opposes this decision because, in his mind, space pirates are vile pests that should be eradicated. However, he lacks real power, making him powerless in this situation.
But the good days didn’t last long. The Emperor of the empire, due to old age and a severe illness that clouded his mind, fell into chaos. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince has been missing for a long time, presumably sacrificing himself in a previous battle.
As the Emperor had only one Alpha son, without the Crown Prince, there was no heir, leading the empire into turmoil. Seeing the empire’s unstable situation, the Federation took advantage of the opportunity. In order to attack the empire, they shamelessly purchased a large quantity of Black Crystals from the space pirates. Black Crystals significantly enhance the combat capabilities of mechs, putting the empire at a disadvantage.
Amidst the intense conflict between the two sides, the space pirates also joined in, seeking to benefit. Seeing this, Mu Shao personally went to the battlefield, but the mechs infused with Black Crystals in the enemy’s arsenal proved challenging to deal with. The empire was defeated, and Mu Shao was captured by the incoming space pirates and taken back to their spaceship.
It was only at this moment that Mu Shao discovered why the space pirates intervened in the war. It turned out that their leader, Chester, had problems with his spiritual power.
Chester was considered a legend in the eyes of people from both the empire and the Federation. However, due to his 4S level of spiritual power and physique, it was challenging to find an Omega that matched him.
In the eyes of these space pirates, Mu Shao, with his 3S level of spiritual power, was extremely rare, and only he could help Chester sort out his turbulent spiritual power.
But Mu Shao viewed the space pirates as evil, especially Chester, whom he considered extremely guilty. Therefore, he refused to help them in any way. As a result, this group of people imprisoned Mu Shao.
At this critical moment, the protagonist, Archibald, infiltrated the space pirate’s spaceship, using the tracker he left on Mu Shao to locate and rescue him.
However, Mu Shao had no intention of leaving Chester as a menace. So, he collaborated with Archibald, pretended to agree to help the space pirates sort out Chester’s spiritual power, and took the opportunity to attack Chester’s mental domain when he was confused, killing him.
Later, Mu Shao and Archibald found the stockpile of Black Crystals on the space pirate’s ship, took them all, and destroyed the space pirate’s vessel, leaving the area.
Back in the empire, Mu Shao, along with others, used these Black Crystals to rapidly create a batch of super mechs, willing to use up their spiritual power. The empire, relying on these mechs, managed to turn the tide, preserving its territory and repelling the Federation.
Mu Shao and Archibald once again saved the empire. Now, not only Omegas but even Alphas admired Mu Shao. After the Emperor’s passing, Mu Shao, with overwhelming popularity, inherited the throne, becoming the first Omega emperor in the history of the empire.
After carefully reviewing the plot, Mu Jin realized that his lover, regardless of appearing in the storyline or not, would likely be the ultimate boss-level character. Thinking about the notable antagonists in the story, the insect queen seemed unlikely, leaving only the space pirate leader, Chester.
Considering that being a space pirate itself is an antagonist role, the fact that they forced the empire to cede territory and provide compensation makes Chester stand out among them.
However, Mu Jin found Chester’s death to be quite perfunctory, dying due to a mental breakdown, losing consciousness, and being attacked in the mental domain by the protagonist. It felt like a significant character had an anticlimactic end – the classic case of living a great life but dying in a frustrating manner.
Despite the thrilling and intense events, which could be considered a legendary tale, the death seemed somewhat lackluster. Could it be the influence of the legendary protagonist halo?
Out of curiosity, Mu Jin asked his System companion, 003, and surprisingly, his assumptions were correct. His lover’s identity in this life was indeed Chester, the leader of the space pirates.
However, the awkwardness lies in the fact that Mu Jin’s identity in this life, as the imperial War God, Crown Prince Mu Jin, who wished to sacrifice himself for the empire’s honor and annihilate the insect queen, was in opposition to his lover’s role.
Unfortunately, this brave War God eventually sacrificed himself in battle. If I hadn’t crossed over, this body would probably have already perished.
The original host lived a resilient life. He was loyal to the empire, although he rarely showed a smile. In reality, he respected his father and cherished his only brother.
He always worked hard to fulfill his duties, ready to dedicate himself to the empire and die for it if necessary.
As for the original host’s dying wish, it was for the empire to achieve peace, and the people to live in contentment. As for himself, the original host never really considered.
Mu Jin actually admired the original host’s lofty ideals and was willing to fulfill his wishes. For Mu Jin, preserving the peace of the empire was not a difficult task. Or perhaps, even without him, according to the original world’s plotline, the empire would eventually achieve peace thanks to the protagonist.
However, with the godly perspective of Mu Jin, he saw many hidden dangers behind this peace.
Several years after Mu Shao inherited the throne, his series of measures to fight for Omega’s rights actually caused social unrest. The protagonist’s ascension to the throne led to the awakening of many Omegas who wanted equal rights with Alphas. However, this brought some drawbacks.
Emphasizing equality blindly while neglecting their own conditions created a form of inequality. The Imperial Academy and the military, in order to compromise, welcomed a large number of Omegas.
But, given their physique, certain professions became inefficient with their inclusion, wasting significant resources. In essence, this weakened the strength of the empire’s forces.
Because of Mu Shao’s precedent, a movement advocating for Omega’s rights even arose in the empire later. However, this movement was not well-controlled; some Omegas gradually became radical, believing they should be treated better than Alphas, holding higher positions.
The relationship between Alphas and Omegas, which was once harmonious, plummeted to an all-time low.
Due to the mental strain from the previous battle, Mu Shao had to abdicate not long after, passing the throne to his child. However, the relationship between Alphas and Omegas took many years to improve.
Seeing this, Mu Jin furrowed his brows, feeling that Mu Shao’s ideas were good, but his methods were inappropriate. Why should there be an insistence on doing the same things as Alphas and Betas? Each has its own specialization, and as Omegas, they have unique advantages.
For example, in potion-making and mech construction, which require a significant amount of mental power, Omegas are well-suited. Art and design are equally crucial to society. Additionally, detail-oriented Omegas are well-suited for some management positions, and there’s nothing wrong with agile-minded individuals entering the command department.
As for combat roles, it is unnecessary for them to forcefully enter. The physical disadvantage cannot be changed, and the true equality to strive for is in social status.
Mu Jin wasn’t particularly interested in being the heir to the imperial throne. After all, the most important thing was to be with his lover. However, with his identity, he would likely return to the royal family in the future. Thinking of the original host’s affection and concerns for his younger brother, it seemed prudent to remind Mu Shao of certain issues.
Later, Mu Jin reviewed the timeline and found that the time he crossed over was just after the original host fought with the insect queen and exposed his mech.
However, looking at the current situation, it seemed that someone had saved him. This raised his suspicion, thinking that perhaps the original host had been saved before but died due to unrecoverable injuries.
Just as he was pondering, he heard 003 in his mind say, “That’s not true, Xiao Jin. When you arrived, this body was indeed on the brink of death. To ensure your survival, the system intervened and made some modifications to the body. Now, your body has been fully upgraded.”
Mu Jin raised an eyebrow at this and looked at 003 in his mind, saying, “Xiao Jin, you now have a physique and mental power of 4S, completely matching the target.”
Looking at 003 with its proud cat face, Mu Jin couldn’t help but smile and teased, “I say, Xiao Hei, what difference does it make if I’m matched with him again? Don’t forget that I’m an Alpha in this world, and Chester is also an Alpha. We’re both double Alphas, you know.”
