duplicated to produce
clones, but the clones were much less efficient in terms of implanting ideas.
They had to keep the target in sight and the operational range was shorter.
Queen Vioael had those clones blended into other species. Then she proceeded to
eliminate Hylocan’s longtime enemy Glycan.
The
prelude of UWII started with Hylocan, Gieoaio, Haegian and Tizuee attacking
Glycan simultaneously. Outnumbered and outgunned, Glycan retreated but didn’t
collapse. The four species also attacked Estian who had an argument with
Hylocan over a disputed planet. Later Estian and Glycan became allies, but they
couldn’t draw other species to their side. Instead, other species all stayed
neutral. Slowly, the balance of battlefields swifted to the four species. But
when Hylocan attempted to drag Uainanese to its side, Uainanese found out
Hylocan’s new ability. Furious and worried, Uainanese joined Estain and Glycan.
After learning Hylocan’s new ability, some other species began to support the
three species but not in a military way. In the middle of UWII, Ajiese and
Oireitan joined the fight against the four species…So many battles waged over
years but nothing was like the last one: the siege of Akenlys, Hylocan mother
planet. The bombardment went on for a whole year and finally a super vessel
penetrated the defense layer and dropped the biogenetic bomb on Akenlys. 99.9%
of the Hylocan population was eliminated. At the final moment, upon the death
of Oracle, she prophesied her return and the end of all other species in the
universe.
Mark let
out a long sigh. Now Hylocan was back.
The door
suddenly opened and the male Hylocan stepped in.
“It is
time.” He said coldly.
Mark
stood up and walked out of the room. The male Hylocan and the tall female
Hylocan took him to a lifeboat like capsule. Mark stepped into the capsule. The
male Hylocan handed him his backpack and a set of Glycan uniform.
“Your
face transformer will work in most cases. This uniform will make it easier for
you to walk around.” The tall female said carelessly.
“Where
am I?” Mark asked.
“Cruiser
General Klizan has left the planet. That means the eyeballs have been
delivered. You will go to the location where the tracer is.” The male Glycan
said coldly.
“You
can’t read those Glycans on that planet?” Mark scoffed.
“That is
none of your concern.” The tall female said.
“What if
I was caught by Glycans?” Mark asked in a relaxed tone.
“They
will torture you to find out what you know and kill you then.”
“I guess
your guys don’t care, right?” Mark asked.
“Good
luck.” The tall female said and shut the capsule door. She pressed a button and
the capsule slowly left the vessel and flew to the planet.
Through
the window, Mark could see the incoming yellow planet Agirue. It was dotted
with black spots and looked like a rotten apple. He only wished that he could
say goodbye to his two sons and let them know that how much he loved them.
Chapter 21
Glycan considered a strong and
healthy body as the most valuable asset. Even though they had cutting-edge sciences
and technologies to modify body function and appearance, they had long voted
against any alteration on their bodies. They believed body was sacred and
should be kept as the way ancestors passed it on.
Planet
Etitaeg was one of the three planets designated for the selection of Glycans.
It was the tests ground for 18 years old Glycans. The selection would last five
days, during which time young Glycans not only must finish physical tests in
endurance, strength, flexibility, speed and balance but also must pass
intelligence tests in reasoning, logic thinking and problem solving. Those
Glycans who completed all tests in five days could leave the planet using the
space vessel at the finishing line. Those who didn’t finish it in time would
die. The rain season started at the end of the fifth day and it would wake up
monsters hibernating underground. In the
