Enslaving the Black Crown Golden Eagle

Above City No. 0237, a massive Black Crown Golden Eagle soared near the city's edge.

Its wingspan neared thirty meters, comparable to a large fighter jet. Its feathers shimmered with a cold, metallic luster. The feathers on its head were a deep black, resembling a royal crown, and its sharp, enormous talons were golden yellow.

"Screeeech—"

A piercing shriek erupted from the Black Crown Golden Eagle. Killing intent flared in its eyes; it had just discovered a flock of Golden Vultures invading its territory!

What was even more unbearable was the human sitting on the Golden Vultures' backs!

The common enemy of all monsters – humanity!

The Black Crown Golden Eagle flapped its wings violently, its speed instantly skyrocketing, breaking the sound barrier as it dove rapidly towards the flock of Golden Vultures below.

"As expected of a major city, to encounter an Initial Lord level Black Crown Golden Eagle right off the bat!"

Qin Mu, surrounded and protected by the Golden Vultures, wore a smile. A great start!

After days of the swarm's constant reproduction and strength feedback, his warrior cultivation had reached the verge of Advanced General level, and his Mental Power was just a step away from Intermediate War God level. Why would he fear a mere Initial Lord level Black Crown Golden Eagle?

"Go!"

Six of the eleven short spears circling Qin Mu shot out, aiming at the Black Crown Golden Eagle from various angles. Under Qin Mu's deliberate control, the short spears' speed wasn't fast, barely reaching Mach 2.

"Mental Master?"

The rapidly diving Black Crown Golden Eagle was startled. Once it reached the Lord level, its intelligence was no different from a human's.

However, upon realizing the short spears were only moving at Mach 2, a hint of mockery appeared in its enormous eyes. It unleashed its power, and its speed surged again, breaking Mach 4!

How could attacks merely at Mach 2 possibly harm it?

"Boom!"

The surrounding air produced a massive sonic boom due to this extreme speed.

However, in the next moment, a human-like expression of terror flashed across the Black Crown Golden Eagle's face.

Because, just as it unleashed its power to dodge the short spears and pounce directly on the human Mental Master—

Qin Mu's face held a smile as his Mental Power condensed. The short spears' speed also surged, surpassing Mach 6.

Earlier, he had deliberately used only six spears and controlled their speed precisely to lure the Black Crown Golden Eagle into attacking.

If the Black Crown Golden Eagle had turned and fled, he wouldn't have been able to catch it!

"Slish—"

The Black Crown Golden Eagle's feathers, harder than diamond, were torn apart. Six massive, piercing wounds appeared on its wings. In the face of the Series 8 short spears, no matter how hard its body was, it would be impaled.

Yet, despite its wings being pierced, the Black Crown Golden Eagle grew ferocious. Even dripping with blood, it showed no intention of retreating, pouncing on Qin Mu within moments.

Qin Mu stomped hard on the Golden Vulture's back, forcing the vulture to plummet over ten meters. Using the recoil, he propelled himself into the sky with his Mental Power.

"Riiip—"

The Golden Vulture's back was hooked by the Black Crown Golden Eagle's talons. Large chunks of flesh were torn away, and it plummeted from the sky with a scream.

Qin Mu, having stabilized himself in the air, turned cold. The eleven short spears descended from above, attacking again with terrifying speed.

With its wings pierced and speed greatly reduced, the Black Crown Golden Eagle's expression turned frantic. It twisted sharply in the air, flapping its wings forcefully to get closer to Qin Mu.

It wanted to fight to the death!

Its wings were injured, and it couldn't fly far. This human controlled over a dozen Golden Vultures. Before its injury, it wouldn't have even spared those Golden Vultures a glance, but now, escaping was difficult!

Only by killing this human Mental Master could it have a chance to survive.

Its plan was destined to fail.

The short spears were too fast, too sharp. Although it dodged with all its might, it could only watch helplessly as its body was repeatedly pierced by the spears, blood splashing across the sky.

How could the myth of a Mental Master being invincible among peers be so easily broken by a Black Crown Golden Eagle?

Finally, the Black Crown Golden Eagle could only fall powerlessly from the sky, letting out a mournful cry.

"Success!"

Qin Mu exclaimed with joy, landing on a Golden Vulture.

With a thought, the Golden Vulture beneath his feet pursued the falling Black Crown Golden Eagle.

"Boom—"

The Black Crown Golden Eagle crashed onto the ruins of a building, causing the already dilapidated structure to collapse completely, sending debris and smoke everywhere.

Under Qin Mu's deliberate control, the previous attacks had only injured its wings, not pierced vital areas of its body.

The Black Crown Golden Eagle struggled to its feet in the rubble, but the next moment, the eleven short spears descended from the sky, piercing its limbs without mercy, like nails pinning it firmly to the ground.

"Roar—"

The Black Crown Golden Eagle roared. Though its body was immobile, it still exuded ferocity.

Looking at the Black Crown Golden Eagle on the ground, Qin Mu slowly descended from the sky, his Mental Power surging, piercing into its sea of consciousness.

"Submit to me!"

Furious Mental Power raged within the Black Crown Golden Eagle's sea of consciousness, sounding like a deafening roar.

The Black Crown Golden Eagle's eyes turned red. This human actually wanted it to submit!

A mere human, how dare he! It was enraged!

But the moment it resisted, a tearing pain surged through its sea of consciousness, a torment that made its very soul tremble, causing its whole body to convipusle.

After the Hive Mother evolved into level two, Qin Mu's soul power surged, and his ability to precisely manipulate his sea of consciousness also greatly improved.

Back in City No. 0203, he had already tried to tame a monster at the Advanced General level, easily Zergifying it.

The moment he encountered this Black Crown Golden Eagle, Qin Mu had the urge to subdue and Zergify it.

A level two Hive Mother could hatch monsters at the Advanced General level, so Zergifying an Advanced General level monster held no real significance.

Lord-level monsters were different.

At the current rate of the Hive Mother's gene analysis of monsters, it would take at least two more months to evolve into a level three Hive Mother.

During this time, Lord-level monsters would become the Zerg's elite force, providing strong support for the swarm's expansion.

"Submit to me!"

Seeing the Black Crown Golden Eagle desperately resisting, showing no intention of submitting, a fierce glint flashed across Qin Mu's face.

The short spear that had pierced the Black Crown Golden Eagle's body flew up, hovered, and then, under the Black Crown Golden Eagle's terrified gaze, plunged back into its body, tearing through its internal organs.

"Wuuu—"

The Black Crown Golden Eagle's eyes bulged, blood vessels appearing in its eyeballs. This blow had utterly devastated it.

"Submit or die!"

As the short spear pierced its internal organs, Qin Mu's mental power once again swept through its sea of consciousness like a storm, almost tearing it apart.

Just as its consciousness was about to fall into a coma, losing its ability to resist, Qin Mu's face finally showed a hint of a smile.

"The soul link is established!"

As Qin Mu's mental power continued to influence it, a faint soul link formed between Qin Mu and the Black Crown Golden Eagle.

"As expected, monsters of the same level can also be forcefully subdued and infected with control!"

Qin Mu's face was filled with joy. This meant that as long as Qin Mu was willing, he could continuously control Lord-level monsters, greatly enhancing the Zerg's elite forces.

"Quick, send it to the Hive Mother to heal!"

Qin Mu's thoughts stirred, and several Golden Vultures nearby descended, grabbing the severely wounded and dying Black Crown Golden Eagle.

Without the Hive Mother's treatment, the Black Crown Golden Eagle would likely bleed to death before long.

Fortunately, the Zerg's Hive Mother in City No. 0237 was not far from their current location. With the combined efforts of several Golden Vultures, it was soon transported near a building ruin.

This was a subway station built by humans in City No. 0237 during the Great Nirvana Period, which Qin Mu had chosen to incubate the Hive Mother.

When the Golden Vultures landed, a group of Zerg units was already waiting on the ground.

The Zerg had already expanded the entrance to the subway platform. Despite its massive size, the Black Crown Golden Eagle was still dragged inside by Zerg Warriors.

As strands of creep extended from within the subway platform, enveloping the Black Crown Golden Eagle and treating its injuries.

"It's successful!"

Watching the Black Crown Golden Eagle's injuries stabilize and begin to improve, Qin Mu's last trace of worry disappeared.

"City No. 0237, here I come!"

Listening to the roars of monsters outside the city, Qin Mu's eyes burned with ambition.
