Let's rewind the timeline to before the battle.

"Captain, I'm afraid we can't escape." Lin Yuan transmitted his voice with a solemn expression. "There's a scout bug following us 50 miles behind."

Hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.

The two illusionists, Huanlinghou and Huanxin, who were outwardly the strongest in terms of mental will, cast their divine senses backward as if they were free, trying to find the location of the scout insects.

But no matter how they searched, they found nothing. Finally, with Lin Yuan's guidance, the two sensed something unusual about the space where the scout insect was located.

After confirming that Lin Yuan's words were true, the members of the Illusion Feather Squad all showed surprise.

Freya looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, "Brother Ye Fan, you're amazing! I never expected you to have this skill."

"Indeed." Huang Liman scratched his head. "I really didn't make a mistake in giving him the position of vice-captain. Brother Ye Fan always manages to bring us surprises."

"Great!" The Nan Yue and Nan Xing brothers exclaimed excitedly, "As long as we take down this scout bug, the Zerg Queen won't be able to catch up with us."

"It's not that easy!" Huanxin and Lin Yuan shook their heads simultaneously. "There are definitely other Zerg reconnaissance units nearby."

Among the team, only the two of them had a deep understanding of the Zerg Queen. Huanxin's teacher and Yanyue King were both powerful figures at the King level, with extensive knowledge, and thus they had educated their disciples about the more troublesome alien races on the battlefield.

Although the Phantom Monkey was also an immortal deity in the core layer of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, his teacher back then was only a peak Marquis-level expert. He had never encountered a Zerg genius in the extraterrestrial battlefield. After retiring, he went to work in a safe branch, so naturally he couldn't get much useful information from him.

"So what should we do?"

The most panicked in the group were the Nan Yue and Nan Xing brothers. If a real battle broke out later, they would be the most likely to perish, as their strength was only at the initial stage of the Marquis rank.

"Don't be afraid when facing the Zerg Queen. The more afraid you are, the faster you'll die. Never leave your back to the enemy!" Huanxin said in a deep voice with a tense face.

"The Zerg Queen plays the Zerg swarm tactic. My brother and I are there to defend against her soul attacks. What we need to watch out for is her immortal guards and her large-scale legion attacks."

I've heard my teacher say that although the strongest attack launched by a World Lord-level Queen with billions of Zerg troops can even injure a King-level expert, its consumption is terrifying. After one attack, the entire army will be annihilated. Therefore, the Queen will not use this move lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Thus, a normal combined attack can only injure a powerful Marquis who is immortal, at most destroying part of his divine body; she cannot easily kill us.

"If we just hold out until the very end and wipe out most of her army, then the Zerg Queen will retreat on her own."

Her idea seemed reasonable: she believed that the Marquis Squad wouldn't be worn down by the Zerg Legion, and as long as they dared to fight, the Queen Mother, who would suffer the most losses in the end, would leave on her own.

But Lin Yuan's words left her speechless: "You overlooked a crucial factor: is the opponent's Immortal Guardian a military lord or a marquis?"

"this……"

She had only considered the advantages of the Illusion Feather Squad, but overlooked the possibility that the other side might also have a Marquis-level expert.

"What if that Zerg Queen sends her marquis-level guards to hold us back, and then commands her legions to keep unleashing combined attacks that can obliterate divine bodies from afar..." Thinking of this, Huanxin's face turned pale.

After all, if things really developed that way, then he would be the culprit who caused the deaths of his teammates by suggesting that they stay and confront the Zerg Queen.

"But Huanxin's words also make sense."

Just then, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke up again: "Running away is not a good idea. Although we don't know the exact location of the Zerg hive, it is very likely that it is already in the dark universe and may send warriors to interfere with our ship's acceleration at any time."

He glanced at the others, then said in a serious tone, "Staying behind to hold out is also very risky, so we must find a way to locate the Queen Mother. Only by capturing her can we safely return to the military base."

"Ye Fan, I know you're right, but there's no one in the team who can complete this task," Huan Linghou said helplessly.

"Huanxin and I are fairly confident in finding the location of the Mother Nest, but our mental fortitude may not be much stronger than that of the Zerg Queen, and soul attacks may have no effect on her."

Your physical attacks pose a greater threat to her, but whether you can find her is still unknown.

"Captain," Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Have you forgotten me? I was the one who found the scout bug's location first. Your soul strength is no match for mine, so of course I could find out the location of the Zerg mother hive!"

Marquis Huanling nodded and said apologetically, "This was indeed my oversight, and I apologize to everyone."

"but……"

He looked around and said, "The number of people on our spaceship has probably been leaked. If we suddenly lose one person when the battle starts, the Zerg Queen will definitely hide even deeper, and it's unrealistic to find her."

Bang!

No sooner had Marquis Huanling finished speaking than a person who looked exactly like him appeared beside Lin Yuan.

His appearance, aura, and even divine power were exactly the same. Except for his slightly dull eyes, he was a completely different "Ye Fan".

Lin Yuan brought him to the front of the group and introduced him with a smile: "This is a divine power clone of mine. The total amount of divine power it contains is almost the same as mine. Once the battle breaks out, it will be absolutely indistinguishable from the real thing."

"Brother Ye Fan...brother, you really are..."

"Ye Fan is such a reliable little brother!"

……

The other members of the team had complicated expressions. They knew that "Ye Fan" was not simple, given the captain's warning, but they did not expect that he even had the talent of creating clones.

Only the rare talent of creating clones can create a clone with the same total divine power as the original, and it must also have a large divine body to replenish its divine power.

If this wasn't his own good fortune, then the other party's teacher must be a powerful figure at the core level of the five major powers, at least a King-level expert. Only such a powerful figure could help his disciple possess a alien race with the talent of creating clones before breaking through to immortality.

Huanlinghou gave Lin Yuan a deep look. He understood that the other party was probably preparing to leave the team, otherwise he would not have revealed his identity in front of everyone, which was a major taboo for the geniuses of the five major forces.

Don't be fooled by Huanxin's obedient presence in the team; only he knows that what's in front of him is merely an avatar of the opponent.

Even though he was her brother, the powerful figures from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank were still worried about leaving her with the Illusion Feather Squad. The disciple of the Illusion Dream Queen was an insurance policy sent by those people.

Actually, they have another option: to send a signal to that powerful king to come to their rescue.

After that person arrived, the minor world lord-level Zerg queen had no choice but to flee in panic.

Now that Ye Fan says he's going to give it a try, and considering his spiritual will that surpasses both Ye Fan's and Huan Xin's, it's likely that his real purpose is to find an opportunity to enslave that Zerg Queen.

But what does this have to do with him?

The relationship between the Dream King's disciple and the team has reached a freezing point. "Ye Fan," this rising star, is the new reliance of the Dream Feather team. Hopefully, he will remember this camaraderie after he grows up!

"good!"

Having made up his mind, Huanling Hou immediately decided: "Judging from the Zerg Queen's combat habits, she usually uses a combined attack to kill the weaker members of the team first. Ye Fan will take that opportunity to leave."

He gave Lin Yuan another deep look: "I'll give you five minutes. If you succeed, all will be well. But if there's no news by then, I'll ask Aunt Huanmeng's disciple for help."

"clear!"

……

Back to the present, on the battlefield.

The battle between Huanling Hou and Titan Worm was fierce and evenly matched. Although his main profession was illusionist, he was proficient in everything. In terms of martial arts skills alone, he could rival a high-level expert who had been granted a title. Otherwise, how could the tigress Freya and Huang Liman, who came from the Huangshen Clan, have submitted to him?

boom!

Another collision occurred, and the crystal sword in his hand flew high into the air, severing one of its tentacles.

His eyes flashed with a sharp look. Now!

hum!

Illusory feathers flew out from his mind, but did not strike the immortal insectoids in front of him; they were merely puppets controlled by the Queen Mother.

brush!brush!brush!

Dense feathers intertwined into a net that enveloped the entire battlefield, constantly rotating and cutting, almost instantly annihilating all the soul threads the Queen used to control the warriors.

"Secret Technique: Soul-Slaying!"

Several uncontrolled Zerg immortal warriors went berserk, unleashing even greater power in their attacks.

But without any strategy, they could no longer reach the Phantom Feather Squad, and could only stand there in helpless rage.

……

The location of the Zerg mother hive 30 million kilometers away.

The dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron sealed off the entire space, and the remaining three immortal guards and the realm lord-level troops all trembled under this pressure, not daring to move an inch.

Vicona's gaze shifted constantly between confusion and struggle, sometimes looking at Lin Yuan with adoration and calling him "Master," and sometimes roaring fiercely as if she wanted to tear everyone apart...

Beside her, Lin Yuan was continuously reciting a scripture, his divine sense following the guidance of the cultivation technique, constantly invading Vicona's sea of ​​consciousness:

I will enslave the gods, and their souls will be under my control; my spirit will return to stillness, and I will be their sole follower.

Seize its true spirit, seal its divine will; transform it into my barbaric slave, its life and death are in my own hands.

Reverse the true spirit, lock its origin; the divine body becomes a servant, the soul fire obeys commands.

All spirits bow their heads and obey my commands; they are led into my path and will never betray me.

Sever its intelligence and seal its divine thoughts; brand its soul so that it will never turn against it.

Accumulated Yin becomes a slave, accumulated Yang a servant; spirit and form belong to me, I have no autonomy.

I can bring the dead back to life, and make white bones my servants; all demons are bound and at my command.

The soul is refined, becoming an immortal puppet; the physical body is converted, becoming a slave through countless lifetimes.

Without literature, one cannot be a slave; without literature, one cannot be a servant; without literature, one cannot be controlled; without literature, one cannot belong.

The true spirit is reversed, locked by scriptures; the soul is scattered, only I am the master.

……

The Divine Transformation Technique created by the Ruthless Great Emperor can forcibly transform people into his puppets without damaging their cultivation talents, making it far superior to many soul enslavement methods in this world.

Lin Yuan came to the Ninth Battlefield because he knew that the number of Realm Lord-level Zerg Queens here was the largest among the nine extraterrestrial battlefields.

Once you successfully convert someone, provided you have enough resources, it means they possess invincible strength below the rank of king, allowing them to venture into more dangerous places with even more treasures.

……

The main battlefield.

The soul attack duration had passed, but the immortal-level Zerg warriors before them remained in a frenzied state, and the Legion, two hundred thousand kilometers away, was also restless.

The Huanling siblings breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Lin Yuan should have already begun to enslave their mother's soul, and now they were just waiting for the results.

Suddenly, all the Zerg fell silent.

But the next second, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the boundless Zerg army in the distance rose and flew away, and most of the Immortal Zerg also left, leaving only a Tiger Beetle King and a Hunter King kneeling on the ground.

"This is……"

"A gift for us?"
