A Windfall Beyond Imagination

Several hours later.

After Weyland's genetic recombination was completed and he awoke from the bio-instrument chamber, his first reaction was to check his body to see if anything had changed.

Touching his still-aged face, Weyland felt a pang of disappointment.

But soon, the abundant physical strength and vigorous energy made Weyland ecstatic, as if he had become decades younger, and his body was full of vitality!

In short, my back doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't ache, and I can climb dozens of floors in one go without even getting out of breath!

Immediately afterward, as if to verify that he had truly been reborn, Weyland bounced around in the bio-chamber like a monkey until Viggo couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him to the ground, only then calming him down.

"It's great to see you so active, Mr. Viggo," Alvin said with a smile, offering his best wishes.

"I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I've felt this kind of freedom." Weyland was a little embarrassed, casting a grateful glance his way. "I have to thank you for this, sir. If it weren't for you, I might never have felt this youthful feeling again!"

"It's alright, Mr. Weyland, I completely understand your agitation, but... I need to tell you something," Alvin paused deliberately, whetting Weyland's appetite before continuing, "In fact, within our race, there is a serum that can help you revert to a younger appearance, and even grant you a longer lifespan."

Upon hearing this, Weyland seemed to be injected with adrenaline, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. "What do you need me to do for you, sir?"

He's a smart man, so he guessed it immediately.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want something, you have to pay a price!

Having experienced the taste of "youth," Weyland became even more reluctant to grow old. He wished for immortality, the appearance of menopause, and an even longer lifespan!

"I will provide you with this information in the form of documents, Mr. Weyland."

Alvin patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You can build a Laboratory on LV-233. When I come back next time, I will bring you something that will satisfy you. I hope you can also give me a satisfactory answer."

The document contained a detailed description of "Xenos" creatures, including forms such as Facehugger, Chestburster, and Warrior Xenomorph, providing comprehensive information on their appearance, characteristics, and abilities, as well as a... concept!

Xenomorph Queen!

Alvin's task for Weyland was to find a way to cultivate a complete Xenos on planet LV-233. Of course, it would be even better if they could go further and cultivate an "Xenomorph Queen".

But unfortunately...

The Xenomorph Queen is a product of natural evolution, arising from mutual cannibalism and competition within a vast Xenos nest, and plays a role similar to that of an ant queen!

Having Xenomorph Queen is equivalent to having an endless Xenomorph Legion!

The next day.

Alvin bid farewell to everyone and, together with Viggo who was eagerly anticipating returning home, embarked on their journey to Paradise Star.

Rumble!!!

The ground within several kilometers of the entire ruins was shaking violently.

Then, the earth's crust was torn apart, revealing layers of metal buried deep underground. Soon, the entire "Master of the World" was fully presented to the crew of the Prometheus.

The colossal object, three hundred meters in diameter, made even human-made spaceships seem somewhat "cute" in comparison to the Master of the World.

Soon, the World Master broke through the clouds.

Powered by its faster-than -Light-Speed Engine, the spaceship shot off like an arrow into the vast depths of space!

Compared to humans' faster-than -Light-Speed Engine, the engineers' technology is clearly superior, allowing them to travel at hundreds of times the speed of light after a brief acceleration!

"Tsk..."

Alvin sat in the cockpit, gazing at the spaceship on the holographic projection, which was moving through interstellar space at a speed visible to the naked eye. He couldn't help but think to himself, "If I took this back and showed it to the Emperor Lord, wouldn't he give me an award?"

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

To expect a spaceship traveling at hundreds of times the speed of light to change the status quo of the Imperium of Man is nothing short of a pipe dream.

It's important to understand that, under ideal conditions of successful Warp travel, the speed of the Imperium of Man's ships is almost comparable to that of faster-than-light spacecraft, though there might be a significant risk involved.

Moreover, the most important issue is that, given the vast area of the Milky Way and the enormous territory of the Imperium of Man, hundreds of times the speed of light... is really not enough.

Therefore, while a faster-than -Light-Speed Engine seems wonderful, in reality... it cannot solve the fundamental problem.

At most, it can serve as an alternative when the location is relatively close, or when Warp Storm is sweeping through.

"I have no idea what kind of technology the Necron is, that it can move so fast in the physical universe..."

Alvin suddenly thought of Necron.

As expected of the overlord who defeated the Old Ones and imprisoned the C'tan 65 million years ago, his level of technology... it's simply outrageous, like something out of a lie!

After traveling through the universe for half a month, the Master of the World finally arrived at "Paradise Star".

"I... I'm finally back!"

Viggo excitedly steered the spaceship to a stop above the ceremonial plaza, next to the massive mothership shaped like a scorpion's tail.

The enormous mothership, shaped like a scorpion's tail, hovered above the ceremonial plaza in an inverted hook shape. Its length was estimated to be several kilometers long. Even the World Master looked tiny in comparison.

What a pity... This thing is just big to look at; apart from serving as a harbor for spaceships, it's basically useless.

Otherwise, Alvin would have already snatched it.

A large crowd had gathered in the ceremony square below.

"If things go according to the plot... releasing the Black Goo right now would surely make for a spectacular scene, wouldn't it?"

As Alvin's mind wandered, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head. "Wait, could I cooperate with the Inquisitor? Using the Black Goo to carry out the Extermination Order would not only perfectly wipe out life on the planet, but also preserve its value—wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Unbeknownst to him, his thoughts had already begun to be deeply assimilated. However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Alvin. After all, anyone who squats in a cesspool would be infected!

"As agreed, the other spaceship is mine now."

Alvin gazed at the holographic projection of a complete small engineer's spaceship abandoned hundreds of kilometers away, and a bright smile spread across his face.

He followed Viggo to Paradise Star, partly to seize the technology left behind by the engineers, and partly for this abandoned small spaceship.

"Of course, I won't break my promise."

Viggo didn't care about the spaceship; after all, it wasn't considered a valuable item among the Engineers.

The spaceship's shape differed from the World Master; it resembled a "key."

Most importantly, that spaceship was a "battleship"!

Within the Engineer race, the World Master was primarily used for transportation and deployment, lacking the capability for interstellar combat and strikes, so it cannot be considered a true warship!

That "battleship" was actually equipped with weapon arrays and had interstellar strike capabilities, and was mainly used for escort, reconnaissance, and target acquisition.

Looking at the warship in the holographic projection, Alvin could hardly stop smiling.

I'm working hard to write more articles, hoping to get a few more articles published next month. I hope you gentlemen will subscribe; these days are just too tough!
