Bizarre Realm

They encountered Su’en.

The entire Heart Stealer expedition fleet was corrupted, and the massive fleet became Su’en’s slaves, stationed in the Distant Realm.

The Heart Stealer fleet of Su’en arrived during the Dark Era, approximately over a thousand years ago. Together with Su’en, they descended upon the Terra Star System. Su’en was an Upper Position from an unknown star system; after corrupting and eroding its original star system, this powerful ancient being sensed the force of Divine Terra, then led the enslaved Heart Stealer fleet into the Bizarre Realm.

By then the Fallen Mother Goddess had already arrived, and the entire Garden Planet had fallen.

Thus, the Heart Stealer of Su’en gained an easy win by directly occupying the Garden Planet and transforming the twelve satellites into his celestial stronghold.

The nameless tried to recapture this planet once.

However, due to the overwhelming number of ancients entrenched in the Bizarre Realm, they couldn’t hold the Garden Planet even if they captured it. At that time, the total population of humans was only over twenty million, ultimately retreating to the Realm of Reality protected by the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms.

Even as of today, Shawn and others cannot completely reclaim the Garden Planet; at most, they can establish a space colony.

Soon.

A bizarre dome-shaped building appeared ahead; it had most of its space underground, surrounded by numerous garrisoned Heart Stealer troops, with patrolling ’Su’en soldiers’ visible—these were alchemical creations made from essences, employing a twisted Law of Life, directly incubated ’Alchemy Creation.’

It can be understood this way.

Su’en’s Heart Stealer’s alchemical construct legion has a germinal entity within, akin to a nauseating mucus aggregate, directly synthesizing and birthing ’offspring’ in a process like excretion, these offspring being alchemy construct bodies.

The robot birthed in a flesh-like manner, producing a lot of robots.

——Su’en’s Fanatic [Large Construct] (Challenge Level 10+)?!

This giant slug-like creature has a mane formed by jars, each containing glowing green liquid; its body forefront appears full of mouths, one big mouth frothing with saliva. During the Heart Stealer team’s arrival, it was undergoing a ’birthing’ process, rapidly creating constructs internally, spitting out a corrosive sphere forming a constructed creature.

Su’en’s Fanatic, if possessing enough essence, can safely use its egg-launch firing ability twice daily, directly producing——Su’en’s Storm Cloud (Challenge Level 5), Su’en’s War Scythe (Challenge Level 6).

Su’en’s War Scythe is a silver robot with four arms; its perfect construct allows it to wield two sinister-looking scythes to attack enemies.

——Su’en’s Crazy Artisan [Alchemist] (Challenge Level 10+)!

Throughout the giant Heart Stealer base, numerous Heart Stealer Alchemists were visible; after being corrupted by Su’en, they mastered very advanced alchemy technology. The entire expedition fleet was equipped with a huge number of alchemical constructs, essentially serving as a Mage’s golem battalion, slightly weaker in combat power, but extremely numerous and comparatively inexpensive.

——Su’en’s Soldier (Challenge Level 8)!

——Su’en’s Flesh Puppet (Challenge Level 13)!(Similar to a flesh golem.)

Thousands of construct lifeforms guarding the elder brain’s nest, while advancing along the flesh-like fungal blanket architecture, a brain pool-like structure soon appeared ahead.

Su’en’s Heart Stealer’s gene technology differs from conventional Heart Stealers; they have numerous elder brains.

Normally, Heart Stealer communities have only one powerful main brain, whereas Su’en’s Heart Stealer fleet generally has one elder brain per warship.

They can synthesize new elder brains through special blood sacrifice ceremonies using other Heart Stealers’ brains.

——Su’en’s Followers (Challenge Level 10).

Shawn saw the peculiar Heart Stealers wearing heavy armor, wrapped in chains, wielding flails and other weapons; they were stronger than other Heart Stealers, these being Su’en’s Priests. Their equipment was very flashy, +1 full-body heavy armor, +1 heavy flail, adorned with Su’en’s Badge, usually guarding near the elder brain’s nest.

These enemies could perform Divine Arts and possess spiritual energy; a few would ascend to become ’Divine Spirit Masters,’ Spiritual Ability Series dual-caster.

——Su’en Elder Brain [Large Aberration] (Challenge Level 15-25)?!

After passing through a dark passage, Shawn smelled a nauseating stench. Outside the nest were two powerful brain golems, and passing through dozens of incubation pod chambers led to the elder brain’s brain pool hall.

Nobody knows how many elder brains reside on the Garden Planet; they act as spiritual leaders for Heart Stealer communities, allowing elder brains to download Heart Stealer’s legacy knowledge.

They are akin to bio-computers.

Heart Stealers, during the process of advancement, copy specialties, knowledge, spell, etc., from them, then go back to slowly cultivate after downloading.

Above the brain pool.

A floating purple spherical mass appeared like a gigantic brain with trailing tentacles; it emitted intense spiritual energy waves, evidently a transformed elder brain for a long time, exceeding the basic Challenge Level 15, with near-normal main brain-like spiritual power.
