The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Not long after, Rabbit was brought out of Base by Yun Ru. As Rabbit gazed upon the Big White Rabbit before it, which bore a striking resemblance, a hint of confusion filled its eyes.

"Meow, meow, meow?"

Big White Rabbit, about to speak, froze. Was that the sound of its own child?

Why did its child sound like a cat?

Big White Rabbit thought deeply, trying to recall if it had ever made such a sound in its own youth. After some contemplation, it couldn't remember; perhaps it had lived for too long.

At this point, Translator Alice stepped in, "Who are you, and why do you look just like me?"

"Silly Rabbit, it's your dad and mom, what do you think?" Yun Ru responded impatiently, utterly defeated by Rabbit's adorable cluelessness.

"Meow?"

Translator Alice inquired, "I have parents?"

Though Rabbit was initially perplexed, it genuinely felt a connection in its bloodline with the Big White Rabbit before it—a sensation unique to Cosmic Behemoths, only shared with their closest kin.

In this conversation between the Big White Rabbit and the little Rabbit, with occasional interjections by Alice's Emperor family translations, understanding slowly began to dawn on Big White Rabbit.

Before long, Big White Rabbit turned to Yun Ru and said, "Could you thank your Commander for me? Thank him for protecting my child and allowing the legacy of this Cosmic Behemoth to continue."

It continued with a serious expression, "However, I must make it clear that while you may utilize my child's power in the future, please wait until it matures before putting it into battle. In its current juvenile state, it is too weak."

Big White Rabbit seemed to have thought it through. It was allowing its child to follow a human, after all. Despite its strength, it couldn't hold on for much longer, and when it eventually passed, its weak offspring would be in danger. So, it was better to let its child stay with the Base's Commander. At least there, its child wouldn't suffer.

More importantly, it had learned something critical. Another Cosmic Behemoth on this planet, Spectral Moth, had been tamed by the Commander, indicating that he possessed enough power to protect its offspring. If the Commander's strength was lacking, it would never have agreed to leave its child behind.

Every parent wishes to provide the best for their child, and Big White Rabbit was no exception. "The Commander has assured us that you have nothing to worry about. We have never forced Rabbit to do anything," Yun Ru replied solemnly.

Big White Rabbit seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It looked at its child with a gentle gaze, and its small rabbit hands lightly caressed Rabbit's head as it softly said, "My child, I can't accompany you as you grow up. You must learn to live on your own."

Just as Rabbit was about to respond, a faint light emanated from Big White Rabbit's body. Gradually, its entire form became indistinguishable, leaving only a glowing rabbit-shaped figure. Suddenly, the light condensed into a small sphere, which shot towards Rabbit at incredible speed. Rabbit's body seemed paralyzed, unable to resist the approaching light sphere.

The radiant sphere merged into Rabbit's body, and Yun Ru refrained from interrupting the process. She had already guessed that this was the Cosmic Behemoth's inheritance.

In the final moments of the older generation of Cosmic Behemoths, they would pass on everything to the next generation. This was their legacy.

It was this process that allowed the next generation of Cosmic Behemoths to grow rapidly.

Su Chen, observing this scene through Yan Yun Star's SpySatellites, marveled, "I never expected Cosmic Behemoth to have this kind of inheritance method. But now, it seems like I've gained something?"

A juvenile Rabbit, destined to become a powerful Cosmic Behemoth in the future, was undoubtedly a valuable asset.

When Rabbit grew up, it might even help resolve the enormous chasm at the bottom of Yan Yun Star's ocean.

Just then, a gentle voice rang out, "See something interesting that's making you so happy?"

Su Chen didn't need to look; he knew it was Leng Yuwei. Only Leng Yuwei had the permissions to enter the Command Room directly.

For some reason, he found Leng Yuwei more attractive than before. Was this the effect of her merging with that woman?

To be on the safe side, he had not allowed Leng Yuwei to merge with the consciousness in the second fragment. After all, he knew very little about that woman.

Su Chen briefly explained the situation with Rabbit, and Leng Yuwei's expression became quite intrigued. "May I go and see that Rabbit?"

"Of course, there are few places on Earth we haven't visited yet. But you haven't been to Yan Yun Star, so let's consider this a trip."

While his subordinates were out in the field, Su Chen realized he had nothing to do, so he decided to check on the current situation on Yan Yun Star.

Using the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, he arrived directly at a Base on Yan Yun Star.

Due to the Ghost Clan's attack on Yan Yun Star, the population had dwindled significantly, and most of the planet's surface had become desolate. Humans had gathered in more populous areas, leaving many places devoid of human presence.

This made it convenient for Su Chen and Leng Yuwei, who explored beautiful landscapes using a map, embarking on their journey.

However, Su Chen's peaceful days were interrupted by trouble within a few days.

"Why are you waking me up so early?" Su Chen scratched his head, entering the room, still half-asleep.

The report came from Yuri, who had a serious tone. "Commander, the planet I attacked is Wangyuanstar. This planet is unremarkable, and the enemies aren't particularly strong. But we've discovered some people who escaped from the center of the Rota Empire."

Su Chen instantly lost his drowsiness. People who had escaped from the center of the Rota Empire? What did that mean?

"Please be more specific."

"Yes, Commander. Initially, we didn't know who they were. However, my Yuri Clones discovered that they were individuals who had escaped from the center of the Rota Empire. I immediately reported it to you as soon as we found out."

"They're not lying; they indeed escaped from the center of the Rota Empire. Even with their faster-than-light travel technology, they could have arrived at the outskirts of the Rota Empire so quickly. However, they encountered an unknown wormhole during their interstellar journey, which mysteriously brought them to the vicinity of Wangyuanstar. Their warship was heavily damaged, forcing them to stay here."

"According to them, the center of the Rota Empire is in complete chaos, and the reason for the chaos is... the Milky Way!"

Su Chen was momentarily stunned. The Milky Way causing chaos in the Rota Empire—what was going on?

He knew that the star system he was in was part of the Milky Way system, the same one controlled by the Rota Empire. But wasn't it named by Earth? Why would the Rota Empire also refer to it as the Milky Way system? (To be continued...)
