Chapter 587
Meanwhile, Shermaine looked over at Faye. She noticed that even though Faye had been shot several times, her clothes stained red with blood, she was still full of energy, chasing after Roy.
Faye was immortal. That was probably why Roy had retreated.
Faye lost her patience first. She glanced at Shermaine’s wrist and asked, “Why do you have that thing?”
Shermaine lifted her hand. “You mean the Orthish?”
Faye nodded with a serious expression.
Shermaine, of course, had no intention of answering her. She smiled and said casually, “Guess.” She added calmly, “It seems you’re not from around here.”
Faye didn’t answer that question, for she really wasn’t from Earth. She’d come to Earth a long time ago, then slept in the deep sea for years before waking up.
But she couldn’t leave Earth anymore, and she didn’t want to. She thought it better to live on Earth than do that damn bounty mission.
It would be even better for Faye if she could become the ruler of Earth. But there were too many rules here, made by countries and people. It was hard for her alone to break them all.
So she wanted an army of her own. That was why she’d created the longevity plan. The old man wanted eternal life, and she wanted to survive. They hit it off right away. She was the real mastermind behind the longevity plan.
She’d planned to merge humans with her genes to make them her people. Unfortunately, her genes clashed violently with humans. After years, she’d found no solution. Then she’d turned to fusing human and animal genes.
Faye had thought, once these humans fully merged with beast genes, she could use her blood to make them submit. Soon enough, she’d have her own army and country on Earth, with humans hailing her as their ruler.
“I’m not a native. But I grew to love this beautiful blue planet after waking up,” Faye said. Her pale skin, set off by the red blood on her, looked as white as a ghost’s.
Roy and Molly were surprised to hear this. But after Shermaine vanished on them two years ago, they found it easier to accept strange happenings.
The universe was vast. Earth was just a tiny planet among countless others. It made sense for outsiders from other planets to exist.
Shermaine said, “We natives welcome you if you love this planet. But you shouldn’t experiment on them with animals.”
Faye scoffed at that. “Weak humans are meant to be used by the strong. You’ve made so many silly rules here. I’ll be the one to break them.”
“How about this? I’ll leave Roy and the woman with you alone for now. But you gotta stay out of my business,” Faye added.
She didn’t know Shermaine’s strength, but she was sure Shermaine was a high-level native of Earth. When Shermaine stared at her, Faye felt a sense of pressure.
So, stepping back a bit was the best option for Faye right now. Until she knew Shermaine’s strength and built her own empire, she’d play it safe.
But that didn’t mean she feared Shermaine. As a member of the Vampire Clan, one of the top ten races in the galaxy, Faye would never fear slow-evolving humans on Earth.
Shermaine smiled and said, “I’m very protective of my friends and family. Roy was tortured by you for two years. If he weren’t so tough, you’d have killed him long ago. I need to settle that score.”
She went on, “Two years ago, the chaos the longevity plan caused in Wallington–there’s a score to settle for that too.”
Just then, a mecha descended from the sky. Shermaine climbed in and said, “Not to mention, your ambitions will bring endless trouble to this planet, and now that I’ve found you, I can’t just stand by.”
When the plane crashed earlier, the whole world had talked about Shermaine’s mecha. So when they saw this, everyone present realized Starmone was the one from the rumors.
Seeing it in person was more shocking than seeing photos. The mecha was exquisitely crafted and high tech. Every part showed the perfection of mechanical design and precise technology.
Even Faye was stunned when she saw the mecha. Shermaine had not just the Orthish, but such an advanced mecha. Faye was sure she’d been beyond Earth.
After operating the mecha, Shermaine pulled out a long sword. This sword had cut through monsters like Jason, so Shermaine was eager to see how it fared against Faye.
Faye snorted. “Show me how powerful this mecha is.” Then she grabbed a person, bared her sharp fangs, and bit hard into his neck.
She needed to drink blood to replenish her aura.
After getting full, Faye smirked. Her speed became even faster than when she’d chased Roy. Then she threw a punch at Shermaine.
Shermaine blocked the punch. Faye was incredibly strong now, each punch sending gusts of wind. She was definitely a physically strong alien race, much like the mythical vampires.
Earth had no real vampires, but the universe did have blood-drinking races like this.
In the fight, dark purple lines appeared on Faye’s pale skin, and her eyes turned dark purple too.
Shermaine was curious about this. Just then, data from Apocalypse came through. Faye was from Valmora, a galaxy with over 25 million people.
Vampire Clan was one of the top ten races in the galaxy. They were born warriors, loved war, and often conquered other planets. Faye was an A-level warrior. The common weakness of the Vampire Clan was their heart–if pierced, they couldn’t heal.
Looking at the data Apocalypse sent, Shermaine didn’t care that Faye’s race was among the galaxy’s top ten. All she wanted to do now was take Faye down. She wanted to see just how tough Faye’s body was.
With a loud boom, snow splashed over ten meters high. Shermaine punched Faye, sending her flying to the ground.
The punch was so powerful that it almost kicked up a blizzard. Seeing this, Roy quickly picked Molly up in his mouth, took her to a safe spot, and kept watching the fight.
Shermaine was really strong, and Faye was stronger than Roy had thought. It turned out she’d been faking weakness against him, hiding her true power.
Watching this, Molly licked her lips, itching to join the fight. Her eyes were filled with a desire for battle.
