The moment Ye Mo released the Zerg, the entire security system collapsed. These fragile ALPHAs didn’t stand a chance.
Ye Mo walked past the giant bugs as they feasted on bodies. The screams of the bitten, begging for mercy, didn’t seem to register with him at all—until, in the hallway, he saw Ye Xiang being torn apart by two Zerg.
Ye Xiang’s white lab coat was soaked in blood. Half of his face had already been shredded beyond recognition. But when he saw Ye Mo, the one intact eye still flickered with hope. He stretched out a bloodied hand. “Help… me…”
Ye Mo didn’t move. His gaze remained blank, unfocused.
“Ye Mo… I order you as your creator… save me…”
This time, Ye Mo did move. He stepped closer, then crouched in front of Ye Xiang. Blood splattered onto his face, adding a strange and eerie beauty to his features. For the first time, the corners of his lips curled upward.
He felt joy.
He liked the gore. Liked this scene, soaked in blood.
Ye Xiang’s one remaining eye widened in terror. Perhaps he finally realized something—or perhaps it was just an illusion. But no one would ever know the answer, because his throat was ripped open by a Zerg, and the outstretched hand fell limply to the floor, quickly devoured.
Zerg were picky creatures. They didn’t eat bones. So in the end, all that remained of Ye Xiang was a blood-soaked skeleton.
Suddenly, Ye Mo felt bored again.
He stared at the sparks flying from broken electrical wiring. Then, for no reason, he thought it might be fun if those sparks grew into something bigger. So the planet exploded—
Becoming the brightest firework in the universe.
Ye Mo walked away from the ruins and gave himself a new name—Xu Wang.
This world permitted arrogance—and Xu Wang had the power to be as arrogant as he wanted.
Xu Wang was smart. He knew how to use his abilities to survive in society, even to live with elegance and luxury. He wandered the world for two years. At sixteen, he had grown into a stunning young man, so attractive that he drew attention wherever he went. As for the military’s attempts to capture him? He never took them seriously.
Everyone assumed that with power like his, he had to be an ALPHA.
No one from the lab had survived. Only Xu Wang knew the truth: he wasn’t an ALPHA.
He was a BETA.
A BETA stronger than any ALPHA.
At sixteen, Xu Wang began to develop more emotions—like curiosity. He was especially curious about the rare, much-discussed female OMEGAs. All women in this world were raised under strict Alliance supervision in the imperial capital. Xu Wang visited once. It wasn’t difficult for him to gain access to a woman—such beings were scarce, but not unreachable for him.
But the reality disappointed him.
Those women who threw themselves at him, their pheromones did pique his interest for a fleeting second… but the feeling quickly faded. Soon, their infatuated gazes just annoyed him.
He didn’t understand why so many men were obsessed with women, nor did he care to understand.
To Xu Wang, women were nothing more than walking hormones. The moment men saw them, they lost all self-control. But Xu Wang wasn’t like those ordinary men. He found women, especially those more delicate than even the average OMEGA, troublesome. They were too fragile. He feared that if he so much as touched them too hard, they’d die in his hands.
Was there anything in the world more troublesome than women?
Ten years later. In the prison warden’s office.
Now fully grown, Xu Wang smiled and said,
“Welcome to my domain, beautiful lady.”
The woman in front of him stared at him with the same dazed, infatuated look all the others had. Her pheromones weren’t any different either. But to Xu Wang, they felt sickeningly sweet—terrifyingly so.
Women were a headache. He was sure of that once again.
Xu Wang always knew what he wanted.
And now… what he wanted was—
To cause himself some trouble.
