Chapter 231 – Ohio Man Sent Death Threat to Doctor Who Stole Florida Man's Kidneys.
Being invincible and indestructible in combat was useful in chaotic battlefields. However, not everything was well-protected when the invaders outnumbered the defenders.
Battleships and unmanned drones quickly bypassed the defenders and bombarded the shopping mall and other buildings. Their bullets and lasers hit Gao Yan's house and the granaries.
Faint barriers appeared, protecting all buildings within the domain. However, the layers of barriers slowly cracked as the anti-domain guns wore down the basic defensive barriers of Leo's buildings.
Leo observed the situation and deeply pondered. He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness to his dantian universe, checking a few system skills that he obtained from the shadows.
'Oh, I have this.'
One second in reality was 1,000 seconds (16 minutes) in Leo's pocket universe. He found what he needed.
Leo pulled out the pen that he had bought from Nine-Fingered-Red of the Fate Stadium. He injected his Qi into it.
FFFFKRRRSHZZZ
The pen transformed into a spear covered in rainbow plasma energy. From an onlooker's perspective, Leo was holding a light spear with a bare hand.
VRAU VRAU
Leo waved the spear around. The broom of the dwarf fit Leo's left hand while his right hand held the boom stick of Florida Singularity.
He looked up and swept his eyes over the countless burning drones, jets, and battleships. The rain of fire painted the sky in orange.
"...Domain."
SHING
Leo swung his plasma spear like a sword once. However, none of the airships, jets, or drones in the sky were harmed. Instead, hostile elves and werewolves in the premise of 100 kilometers collapsed.
White smoke came out from the victim of Leo's mysterious domain. They slipped through the gaps of the ships and gathered toward Leo.
Leo's chest was the eye of a whirlpool, sucking everything into his body.
DING
<You have absorbed 30,511 souls!>
<You have converted 30,511 souls into life force.>
<You have gained 6,431,916 years of lifespan.>
DING
<You have completed the Fate Crystal Tutorial's secondary objectives!>
<You have obtained 7 lucky draw tickets (Building) and 777 free territory expansion tickets.>
Leo snorted and retracted the light spear's energy. He put the pen back in his pocket and shifted his attention to the unmanned drones and jets.
"What kind of power should I use against those robots? EMP? Is there anybody that can use EMP or something similar?"
Leo closed his eyes and searched for the right skills. While he was at it, he scanned through the new names in his system menu. Several names of the overlords showed up.
'Milo, Max, Jack…Jack Ingof? Jacking off? Pfft. Who named this mofo? Oh, well… Huh?'
Leo sorted the list by the strength of the shadows, so the system menu would show the strongest person first. But after the list was sorted, Leo found a familiar name.
Dr. Mao, the Devil
'Mao? Doctor Mao? Where have I heard this name before?'
While looking at the name and the portrait of Overlord Mao Miaomiao, his heart raced, and he coughed. His face reddened, and his blood pressure rose.
He didn't know why, but he was angry.
'…Do I know this guy?'

Ohio Man's planet
Simba received a new transfer order from Ester's mother again. She ordered him to assist Overlord Lucky to lay siege against a colony of Cathulhu. Moreover, the main forces of the elves were also there as they were about to confront Overlord Xiaomao and his cats.
"Here we go again."
Simba shook his head and deeply sighed. He hated the elves and their warmongering nature.
"Again, dear?"
"Yes. Again. They never stop even though Overlord Xiaomao alone can take on a million entities by himself. He's as strong as a karmic sovereign. Why haven't they learned?!"
Ester bit her lower lip. She circulated her Qi into the entity fate crystal in her chest. Then, a vision appeared in her mind.
Flashes of events revealed the possible future. Branches of potential outcomes were right before her eyes.
After calculating the future, Ester revealed what she had seen.
"One of my sisters broke through. Ellen has become a karmic sovereign like Overlord Mao and Overlord Kishin. Mother might have thought that Ellen could take on Overlord Xiaomao with Sister Ellen's help."
"Ellen? The 7th sister of yours?"
The matriarch of the divine elves gave birth to many promising daughters. Esen was the eldest while Ester was the 2nd. However, because of the infighting and competitiveness of the royal court, none of them was on friendly terms.
"Yes. She's a cultivation maniac. She often stole other sisters' cultivation resources, but nobody could do anything to her because of her tyrannical strength and unique dao. She can erase anybody with negative karma. Also, she already killed three of our sisters… I think the queen is keeping her as a backup."
"…"
Simba had been with the Elf royalties for a long time. He knew that the "mother" hated her daughters the most.
He had proof, but he couldn't say it. He also knew why the "mother" kept her daughters around, and it was extremely repulsive.
"I gotta go. Take care while I'm not around, Ester."
"Yeah. Come back safely, Simba."
The husband and wife kissed. Then, Simba touched his face with his palm and transformed into one of the Fenrir werewolves. He teleported away.
After Simba had gone, Ester bitterly smiled. She turned around and gazed at her house.
"Time to clean, I guess. He'll be fine."
…
Ester quickly cleaned the house and let her kid play in the yard. She hummed and admired the sparkling clean house. Then, she shifted her gaze toward the garage, where Simba usually tinkered with some artifacts there.
"Ah, that place is getting stinky. I should surprise him."
In the past, Simba always told Ester not to enter his workshop as it was dangerous. Ester heeded his warning and respected Simba's privacy.
However, Simba was not a clean person. He often forgot to clean his workshop. Thus, Ester always nagged him to do it himself.
As Simba neglected his workshop's hygiene for too long, Ester planned to remove some dust.
Entering the workshop, Ester found a workshop desk, a furnace, a pill cauldron, an anvil, and strange machines. Aside from the craftsman's tools, she didn't see anything special but dirt and black dust.
Ester's face darkened.
"Simba, you lazy skunk! I told him to clean this place, but he never did. Oh, boy."
Ester waved her finger, creating a strong wind. The air circulation blew all the dust into the sky.
After removing the dust, Ester brought a wet towel. While tidying the furniture there, Ester stumbled upon a framed photo of Simba and his family.
Ester giggled and admired her husband when he was young. She picked the photo to clean it.
But as Ester picked up the photo, a key slipped out from the back of the frame.
"Huh?" Ester picked up the bronze key. "What's this for?"
Curious, she looked for a place to use the key. She didn't need to look for long as the workshop desk's drawer had a keyhole of a similar size.
Ester used the key and opened the drawer. When she pulled it open, she found a stack of document papers in a folder.
The language of the papers was strange to her. She couldn't read it. However, among the documents, an old photo of an Asian man was clipped to a paper.
"???"
Ester frowned as she had seen the face of this man somewhere before. Her curiosity was piqued.
"I shouldn't use this, but… please forgive me, Simba."
Ester opened her status window and browsed a lifespan shop system. She scrolled through the list to find the auto-translate function for Simba's native language.
Earthling Linguistic Knowledge – One Million Years of Lifespan
Ester grinned and purchased it. Then, a flood of knowledge entered her mind. When she looked at the papers again, she could finally read them.
"That's better!"
Ester reread the document with the photo of an Asian man.
"…Professor Mao Miaomiao, CEO and the owner of Immortal Cloning Incorporate…"
Ester flipped the documents and read everything. The more she read, the more she was horrified.
These were the records of human experiments, which were done by the professor and his assistants. They adopted countless orphans and homeless children to their labs and experimented on them.
She finally recognized the professor
He had the same name as the infamous karmic sovereign overlord Mao Miaomiao!
She couldn't stop anymore. Ester kept reading.
Among the documents, she found photos of many scientists with a tribal tattoo on the back of their hands. Their unique green eyes were also identical to the eyes of divine elves.
"Wait, these people in the documents aren't even humans! I remember those tattoos! They're divine elves!"
In shock, Ester flipped the pages and checked the documents with the photos again. She also glanced at the family photo of Simba.
The white boy in the picture might look like a human. However, his green iris and his sharp eyes couldn't fool her anymore.
This boy had a divine elf's blood in his veins! Moreover, the parents all had elven tattoos on the back of their hands.
They were elves!
But something didn't make sense. Ester rescanned the documents again to recheck what she might have missed. And indeed, she missed one notable fact of these strange documents.
One of the papers had the details of a certain test subject whose face was the same as the boy in Simba's photo. There was also a terrifying note at the corner of the paper.
.
Test Subject's Name: Leonardo Ariel
Call Sign: LEO
DNA Compatibility: OL-XM, OL-LK, OL-AP, OL-AS, and OL-ME
Dominant DNA: OL-ME, OL-AP
Cultivation Ceiling Potential: Entity or Karmic Sovereign
Professor's Note: MOTHER, transfer my soul into this body. Kill the rest of the scientists and test subjects.
.
That wasn't the end of the document. Behind the personal information of this boy, there was Simba's handwriting.
'Rest in peace, brother. Thank you for saving my life. I'll avenge you one day.'
