Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 85: The S-Grade Queen Insect’s Control Ability

Peter heard the voice in his ear. For a moment, he was sincerely happy that the queen insect had leveled up to the S-Grade.

It was obvious what it meant to control an S-Grade queen insect. In the future, not only would all the mutated creatures in the area controlled by this S-Grade queen insect not attack Peter, they could even be directed by Peter through the S-Grade queen insect to attack his enemies.

Peter entered the nest of the queen insect again. It was previously the nest of the A-Grade queen insect, but now, it had become the nest of the S-Grade queen insect. This felt very good.

After the S-Grade queen insect advanced successfully, its originally huge body shrank instead. Its head also had many more tentacles than before. Did this mean that the S-Grade queen insect could control more humans?

Peter also asked about this and received an answer from the S-Grade queen insect.

“Master, I can now control 30 humans.”

Peter was surprised to hear this answer from the S-Grade queen insect. Previously, the A-Grade queen insect could control at most five humans. After reaching the S-Grade, Peter had guessed that it could increase its control quota to ten.

However, he had never expected that the number of humans the S-Grade queen insects could control would increase to 30 at once.

Peter somewhat regretted not bringing Betty here. It was clear that Betty could be among the 30 humans that were controlled by the S-Grade queen insect. This was what he thought. However, he couldn’t really run back to the Federation on purpose and return here with Betty as that was clearly impossible.

After confirming the number of humans that the S-Grade queen insect could control, the next thing was to tell the S-Grade queen insect that it did not have to join the Holy War Organization. Peter also specifically instructed the S-Grade queen insect that it could send out more mutated creatures to investigate. Once traces of mechas were found, the queen insect was to inform him immediately.

Due to his initial carelessness, the cyborg had exposed Peter’s plan. Thus, he could not allow the S-Grade queen insect to join the Holy War Organization and steal important information.

Moreover, Peter was more worried about the Holy War Organization. They might have sent a large number of smart mechas to the base city.

If that was the case, to the citizens of the base city, the situation was much more dangerous than the beast attack that they had encountered previously.

“Master, is that human corpse food for me?”

After the S-Grade queen insect leveled up, its need for food increased. The most obvious change was that when it saw the body of the fake President that Peter had brought, the S-Grade queen insect thought that its master had given it food.

Speechless, Peter walked over and took the spare energy block from his bag before installing it in the fake President’s body. After a short wait, the fake President’s tightly shut eyes opened again and flashed red. After his mechanical body was activated, he immediately looked at his surroundings.

“Is that a mutated creature? Or is it a queen insect?”

The fake President recognized the S-Grade queen insect in front of him, which surprised Peter slightly. It seemed that the fake President knew a lot.

Peter raised his hand to indicate that the S-Grade queen insect should use its control ability. The S-Grade queen insect immediately understood its master’s meaning. The tentacles above its head began to wave in their air. Then, layers of powerful brainwaves were fired from the ends of the tentacles.

The fake President, who was standing nearby, was stunned. This was because he was beginning to be controlled by the S-Grade queen insect. Meanwhile, Peter had been paying attention to its reaction. Once the S-Grade queen insect successfully controlled the fake President, he would gain a capable assistant.

Peter’s plan to investigate the Holy War Organization had never vanished. Although the identity of the S-Grade queen insect had been exposed, it did not stop him from continuing his plan.

A moment later, Peter heard the S-Grade queen insect speak.

“Master, I’ve successfully controlled this… person.”

The S-Grade queen insect also discovered the uniqueness of the fake President’s body. When it mentioned the fake President, it hesitated for a moment. This was because it did not know how to refer to this body that it had just controlled. In the end, it decided to call it a person.

As the S-Grade queen insect spoke, the fake President’s body responded. He turned in Peter’s direction. Instead of a red light, his eyes flickered with a green light that Peter had never seen before.

“Master, I am willing to serve you.”

After becoming a soul slave, the mark engraved in the depths of the fake President’s soul would never disappear. As long as he was within the soul seal response range, the S-grade queen insect that controlled him was his secondary master. Meanwhile, Peter was his primary master.

This was because Peter had controlled the S-Grade queen insect first. Thus, the mark engraved on the soul of the fake President was even deeper.

After successfully controlling the fake President, Peter was in no hurry to learn more about the Holy War Organization. He wanted to return to the Genetics College. Then, he would ask Professor Eugene to record all the information the fake President knew and show it to him. This would save him a lot of time collecting and analyzing information.

After Professor Eugene gathered the information provided by the fake President, Peter planned to find an opportunity to let the fake President return to the Holy War Organization and continue to be a spy for him.

Since the mysterious Holy War Organization was able to plant spies in the human camp, and even bribe the upper echelons who controlled the Federation, Peter decided to return the favor by placing spies in the Holy War Organization as well.

Now that the S-Grade queen insect had successfully leveled-up, the level of the mutated creatures it nurtured had also been upgraded to the A-Grade. As long as the S-Grade queen insect had enough time, it was also very possible for Peter to have a group of beasts made up entirely of A-Grade mutated creatures.

Peter had successfully completed two major tasks after coming to the queen insect’s nest. Thus, he was in a good mood. He was ready to leave and return to the Genetics College as there was still much waiting for him.

At this time, Peter, who was about to leave, suddenly found that the fake President had been in a very happy state after being controlled by the S-Grade queen insect and was constantly rubbing his hands.

“What are you thinking about?”

The fake President realized that someone was talking and moved his body to look for the source of the voice. Finally, he realized that it was Master Peter asking him a question.

“Master, I… I just think that this soul control is too awesome.”

Before Peter could continue asking questions, the words that the fake President said next shocked Peter.

“Master, I know that the Holy War Organization also knows how to control humans, but they don’t use soul control. Instead, they use a kind of insect.”

“A kind of insect!”

This was the first time Peter learned that the Holy War Organization could also control humans. Although he heard from the fake President that it was far inferior to the control of the S-Grade queen insect, it was enough to surprise him.

Then, through the secrets revealed by the fake President, Peter made an uneasy guess.

“Do you know who is controlled by the Holy War Organization in the human camp?”

The fake President now became the soul slave of the S-Grade queen insect. Thus, he had nothing to hide from the queen insect and Peter. He immediately mentioned one person.

“Master, General David of the Federation is a human controlled by the Holy War Organization.”
