While the protagonist shou of the world is busy fighting a Guardian Class Zerg with his teammates, Feng Jing is seated on the couch with his Grandpa Celes. They were enjoying a silent atmosphere at such a weird location enjoying their tea. At this time, Feng Jing had just sent a video message to his guide, Marshal Sirius. Since his Grandfather Celeste wishes to meet his future mate, he had arranged a secret meeting for them to assemble. 

Alula Celeste didn't ask his grandson how he is able to contact a Marshal during this event where every communication gadget of the participants is being monitored. But he had already witnessed Feng Jing sending the message without getting caught by the event's intelligence security squad.

Alula Celeste asked, "Darling, do you think your sentinel would really come over here to meet your grandpa? He doesn't even know who I am? Doesn't he thinks your contacting a spy that is against the Oberion Empire?"

"No. I believe that Sisi's top priority is me! I am above the Empire and everything. He told me that." said Feng Jing.

Seeing the reaction of this little descendant of his friend which he considers as his own grandson, Alula Celeste couldn't help but smile. Though he knew that this childish act can only be seen towards his elders, the child's sincerity towards him and Janus Stellan isn't that much different from how Feng Jing treats his family. To Feng Jing, both Janus Stellan and Alula Celeste are his other grandfathers though not related by blood.

Alula Celeste said, "Our darling seems to like Marshal Sirius a lot~ Grandpa Celes now wants to meet the man who stole our darling's heart."

"Grandpa Celes will definitely meet my love. He is strong, kind, and loves me the most. Grandpa, I know you like Sisi as much as I, Xiao Jing, does." said Feng Jing.

When Alula Celeste heard the description about Marshal Sirius loving their darling the most he almost couldn't stop the twitching of his smile.

"That's not true, darling! I, your Big Yeye, Xiao Yeye, and Grandpa Lan are the ones who love you the most. That Marshal Sirius is just a pig. Yes, a PIG! He is stealing our carefully cultivated baby cabbage!" said Alula Celeste as he hugs the little one in front of him.

Then they suddenly felt tremors on the whole beehive. Feng Jing and Alula Celeste could feel the whole chamber shaking even the Queen Bee's Chamber which is supposed to have the thickest wall couldn't handle the quaking of the whole place. 

The whole chamber quakes.

Alula Celeste slightly frowned because his tea party was disturbed.

"Grandpa Celes, do you mind the room being cold?" asked Feng Jing.

Alula Celeste replied, "No. Grandpa is resistant to cold. What are you going to do, darling?"

He then watched as Feng Jing controlled his bloodline skill from his Grandfather Xia's side. The cold qi spreads fast under the naked ice covering the whole chamber and everything on it, except for the couch and the table with tea sets where the grandfather and grandson combo are enjoying their drinks. Even the half-dead semi-royal Bee Queen Zerg instantly died from being frozen alive. She broke into tiny fragmented ice and died unexpectedly on that child she didn't even put on her eyes.

Seeing the whole chamber covered in white ice, Alula Celeste happily praised Feng Jing. With this kind of control and strength, he didn't doubt that the child is indeed an SSS rank Guide as he proclaimed. Even his good friend, Xia Xue couldn't do such a thing at such a young age,

Alula Celeste asked, "How many bloodlines did you awaken, Xiao Jing? You have too many special bloodlines."

"I can control three bloodlines. I can use the special bloodline skill of the Feng Clan which is rebirth. Xiao Yeye's bloodline of ice and Mommy's bloodline. My Quantum beast also took over the three bloodlines and merged as one." explained Feng Jing, he also let out his quantum beast, Reine.

Feng Jing spoke, "This is my quantum beast. His name is Reine. A Phoenix-Dragon Hybrid."

Wings flapping~ CAAWSSS~

Thankfully, the Queen Bee's chamber is big enough for Reine to fly around even for a bit. His dragon-scaled body is slightly misted in cold, his crimson and black feathers flutter at each flap of his wings, and his phoenix eyes glint in aloofness. The crown symbol on its forehead shows the King's bloodline of this creature. A Hybrid with the highest strength about the mixed-blood quantum beasts.

Alula Celeste's eyes widened in shock, he had seen the phoenixes from the Feng Clan, but Feng Jing's phoenix is the most beautiful one. Not only its size is twice the original, but the presence and aura it emits could also even rival that of a dragon. He is a researcher about the varying kinds of the quantum beast, so when he saw Feng Jing's Phoenix-Dragon Hybrid, he couldn't help but be extremely interested in it.

"Darling Xiao Jing, can you let grandpa see your Reine closer please~?" said Alula Celeste.

Feng Jing innocently blinked its eyes and looked at his flying quantum beast. He ordered his Reine but his thoughts and asked it to come over and let his grandfather check on like how the elders from his family did before. Reine flew over and landed near the couch slowly walking towards the elder seat beside his master.

[Master, your family members are too touchy and clingy. You should save me sometimes.] Complained by Reine through his thoughts.

'Give up. Even I have to act cute towards them. Asking me to stop them to check on you, is impossible for me. It's better that you are the one being checked instead of me.' replied Feng Jing in his mind.

[Master, as your quantum beast we share common things. Reine also hates being touched!]

Feng Jing, 'Just surrender. They will have enough in the future.'

[Wuwuwu~ You are bullying Reine. Master you dummy. Reine wants to see Roi!]

'Don't worry you can see him later. My love would be coming over here to meet Grandpa Celes. Entertain the old man properly if he chooses to leave all of the sudden we won't be able to see our partners.'

[Why didn't the master say so early?! Reine would be good.]

The silly Phoenix-dragon hybrid stopped fidgeting and let Alula Celeste check on him. While Alula Celeste was checking on Reine, he suddenly asked a question.

"Darling, those children outside. They are your teammates, right? Would they be able to defeat a Guardian Class Zerg on their own? Are you not going to help them fight it?" asked Alula Celeste.

Feng Jing replied, "Please do not worry Grandpa Celes. They would be alright. Five of them are within the ranks of S and above while the rest are not bad as well. They are a bit young but this should be able to let them gain experience. Otherwise when we entered the Central Region they would only die right?"

"Hm~ that is also true. But since this is your decision then there are no problems. Thought I should still warn you, darling three days from now the Eighth and Ninth King of Zergs would be coming over on this planet. Of course, they do not need to enter through outer space. They could directly enter this Star from the Main Planet through space portals. Following behind the two King class Zergs are at least 50 Guardian class zergs. Can you defeat them all by yourself, darling?" asked Alula Celeste but when he saw the crazy smile on his adorable grandson, he could only chuckle. 

Alula Celeste said, "Right? Why am I asking? Aren't the Phoenix Clan notorious for being a battle maniac?"

Before the sun had set, just outside of the beehive traces of a big battle were left behind at the destroyed part of the forest. Varying sizes of craters and broken trees and rumbles spread all over the place at the center of it is the mutilated body of a huge armored Bee which is now lifeless. Some mechas were surrounding it and these mechas were owned by Bai Yuyan and the rest. They were able to defeat the Guardian class armored bee zerg. They need at least one and half hours to defeat the Guardian class zerg. 

This should be normal as a Guardian Class zerg possesses the strength of a peak SS+ rank Sentinel. With both its size and strength twice of the normal human sentinel plus its battle-honed through time, students like Bai Yuyan need enough time to adjust due to their lack of battle experience. A soldier sentinel with SS rank potential could kill a guardian zerg in just 30 minutes alone. They are indeed inexperienced.

Everyone communicates on their channels and was a bit tired from the fighting.

Bai Yuyan: Etoile, except for the mapping mode cancel the other modes.

[Affirmative, Host Bai. Synchronized link and Weakness probe modes are not deactivated. Congratulations, Hosts! You had defeated a Guardian class Armored Bee Zerg in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Please defeat 3 more Guardian Zerg to open up the new mode.

Absolute Defense Mode. This would allow the synchronized linked team to be covered in an energy shield unbreakable by anything. The effective duration of this barrier is 3 minutes. It can only be used 3 times in one day.]

Everyone was startled by what they had just learned. They didn't expect the program they were given to be a reward system.

Tang San asked, "This... I didn't hear it wrong, right? You guys heard it too right!!?"

"Will there always be a reward every time we complete an achievement? Etoile" asked Tang Si.

[Answering Host Tang Si's question, Yes there would be. The rewards vary. It can be a new mode, a skill book, rare potions, and more. There are both group and individual achievements. Please check Etoile's database more thoroughly. There should be a list of tasks programmed in Etoile.]

Qu Yeon said, "This... Did your creator make you this way? What is the goal of completing these achievements?"

[Answering Host Qu Yeon's question, the creator made Etoile help the host upgrade their potential level. Individual achievements help one to increase your battle experiences and group achievements help the hosts to upgrade their overall potential.]

"U-Upgrade our potential?! Is that even possible?!" exclaimed Tang Yi.

[Yes. Because Etoile is able to gather the world's energy and convert it to energy crystals and potions that will allow the host to increase their potential. Etoile is made by the creator to help the hosts increase your overall strength. At least Etoile should be able to increase your overall potential with one level after this event.]

Solaris Vega murmured, "A program that could convert the energy of the world and possess his own intelligence. L-Lord Jing can create a godly thing such as this!"

"This is so amazing. If the other's learned about this then... wouldn't they even kill us to steal Etoile from us," said Xue Ran.

[Please do not worry about such a situation, Host Xue. The creator had made an instruction to self-destruct if part of Etoile's program is cloned or stolen. Etoile's core program will always be with the Creator.]

Feng Wu spoke, "Etoile, are you able to connect with my lord?"

[Etoile can!]

"Please connect to our channel. We need to personally report," said Bai Yuyan.

[Okay. Video call in progress. Dialing the creator's private line.]

CLICK!

The beautiful appearance of Feng Jing was seen by everyone in the group channel. They could see their leader's phoenix eyes turned crescent as he smiled at them. He looks unhurt and completely uninjured. From the video, they could see that his background is made of ice as if he is inside an ice cave. An unfamiliar adult man's voice can be heard scolding something and the sound of the loud cawing of some huge bird can also be heard from the video.

It seems something is happening on the other side but no one could ask as Feng Jing's smile looks so threatening yet captivating.

Feng Jing: {Congratulations! You have defeated a Guardian Class Zerg. You can report the details to me when I get back. You guys should return to the camp for now and rest. I will be back before dinner. Be careful on your way back.}

[Yes, Leader!]

They all responded before Feng Jing casually ended the video call from his side.

Meanwhile, in the beehive at the Queen Bee's chambers, Alula Celeste who had his full examining the new hybrid quantum beast in front of him had sat back beside his beloved grandchild.

Alula Celeste said, "You can praise them some more."

"I will later. My other half had finally arrived," said Feng Jing with a gentle smile on his face, looking at the entrance of the chamber. "You're finally here, my love."

"I've come, Jing'er," said Marshal Sirius who secretly went to the planet to meet his lover.
