Inside the Queen Bee's Chamber. 

Spiritual energy swirling uncontrollably within the room. A strong energy of the world is being controlled by the two men inside the chamber, trying to overpower each other. The whole beehive started to once again shake from the tremors of their overwhelming spiritual energies these two had gathered in one place.

"Not bad. For a Sentinel to have this much control over the world's energy. No wonder they considered you the strongest Sentinel there is."

"Thank you for your praise, elder," responded Marshal Sirius.

Alula Celeste suddenly spoke something that made Marshal Sirius's concentration flatter.

"But... you do know that Xiao Jing hasn't completely left the hive yet?" said Alula Celeste and felt that the youngest yet strongest Marshal before him suddenly lessen his control over the world energy which made him completely vulnerable towards the spiritual energy under the control of the old soldier in front of him.

Of course, he doesn't care, instead, he moves the world energy in his control to check the whole beehive and look for Feng Jing. He is afraid that his little lover would be harmed by the clashes of energy between the two of them.

Alula Celeste's thoughts, 'He pulled back the energy he used to bare his fangs on me and used it to check the whole beehive opening his back to me. So he wasn't lying when he said that his top priority is Feng Jing and that... he is willing to trust the people Feng Jing had vouch for. Hm~'

Thinking about this, this old grandfather smiled in joy. It seems for him he is happier knowing that their beloved little darling had found the right man to love. Someone who is willing to fight against the whole world just to protect his beloved. Alula Celeste never expected the youngest Marshal who is notorious for his cruelty on the battlefield and cold demeanor to be like a loyal dog towards his most precious person.

He watched as the young sentinel's face before him slowly turned grumpy and looked at him like he wronged him.

"Old man, you are lying. Jing'er is no longer in the beehive. Scaring me for no reason." complained Marshal Sirius.

Thoughts of Alula Celeste, 'He is good but still rude. This brat would definitely not get along with A'Lan with both their tempers short towards the others except their lovers...'

A gentle smile finally appeared on Alula Celeste's face, his handsome features enhanced as there is real joy within those emerald irises.

"Sirius. I will call you that as an elder. You can call me Grandfather Celes like Xiao Jing does. There is something this old man needs you to do for me. Are you willing to listen?" asked Alula Celeste.

Marshal Sirius gestured he would listen so Alula Celeste freely talked about the secrets of the Interstellar Federation.

Alula Celeste, "Child, first let grandfather apologize for my partner, Janus Stellan's attempts on your life. This... he is trying to hurry a bit too much lately that he had forgotten our real goal." 

"Please don't apologize, Grandpa Celes. Sirius understands that before meeting Jing'er I am nothing but a stranger to the Fengs and to your side." said the marshal.

"I want to ask you to meet Stellan instead of Xiao Jing. You do know that their relationship on the surface was sour right? But this is only a facade to keep the eyes of the spies away from the Fengs. Those who forced the Feng Clan to sign the Sealing order about my existence are the remaining elders in the upper echelons of the Federation who hid the fact of my existence. They are on our side. After all, once the spies in the federation learned about me, they would know that I am a spy sent by the Federation to the Zerg Royalty to infiltrate." explained Alula Celeste.

A confused expression on Marshal Sirius appeared, he was looking at Alula Celeste from top to bottom looking at how he can sneak into the royal tower despite being a human. All he learned about Alula Celeste from the remaining records is that his whole clan had a special bloodline skill like the Phoenix Clan. Seeing the weird expression on Altair Sirius, Alula Celeste could somewhat guess what he was thinking about.

Alula Celeste chuckles and said, "You wanted to know how I am able to pretend as a zerg despite being a human being don't you, Sirius?"

The Marshal nodded his head in agreement.

"The reason for that is simple. But it is better to show you why instead," said Alula Celeste as he stood up from his seat and stood in the open area. After summoning his quantum beast, a huge blue butterfly, Marshal Sirius watches them as they suddenly merge into one. 

On Alula Celeste's back, a huge pair of blue butterfly wings appeared, there are even some butterfly features on him. Like the pair of antennae on the top of his head and his irises turning emerald solid eyes like those in butterflies. In this form, if the marshal didn't witness the merging process, he would definitely think that Alula Celeste is a Zerg. Not only an ordinary zerg but a full humanoid zerg which is ranked within the royalty. 

Marshal Sirius murmured, "This... is this for real?"

"Yes. I use this form to fool the Zerg Race into thinking that I am one of them. My other clan members were undercover in the other Kings and Queen's units. While those who couldn't transform were all under the Janus Clan protected and hidden by Stellan from the eyes of others.

The only ones who knew about this are the Janus and Feng Clan. Even the royal family of the Oberion Empire wasn't informed. They didn't know about my clan's special bloodline skill and my race's quantum beasts are all butterflies," explained Alula Celeste.

The Marshal suddenly recalled all the zergs he had killed from over the decade. He wanted to remember if he killed a butterfly-type zerg from before. Knowing what was running in his mind, Alula Celeste had to say some comforting things.

Alula Celeste said, "No need to worry. Even if you killed an Alula Clan member during the war, we wouldn't blame you. This is our role as spies. We are willing to die for the protection of the land where our family lives. Moreover, I was about to order a retreat. After all, we had already spent a whole decade on their side and gathered enough information and resources about the Zergs.

We only need to clean up the spies in the Interstellar Federation and in the Oberion Empire before initiating a plan to kill the Imperial couples of the Zerg Royal Family. Right now, because of your assassination attempt to the Second Empress, she is now about to die due to our plans of poisoning her after she got injured. The only bad thing about this is that..."

"The Zergs under the command of the Second Emperor and Second Empress would definitely target me?" said Marshal Sirius as he is a smart man himself, he could understand that his fame is so clear that even the enemies hated him to their bones.

Alula Celeste, "Sorry. When we did this, I didn't know you would become Xiao Jing's other half..."

"Please do not worry, Grandpa Celes. The Zerg is the enemy of the whole human race. I do not mind being the target. Only... Jing'er would be in danger as well. This is what I am worried about." said Altair Sirius.

Alula Celeste scolded, "Are you stupid?! Did you not know that the pure the Phoenix blood is the stronger their bloodline skill? And among the Feng Clan direct family members, Xiao Jing happened to possess the purest and strongest bloodline of the Phoenix. Feng Clan's special ability is 'Rebirth' but that isn't the only bloodline Xiao Jing had awakened. He also had the dragon king bloodline of his mother and an Ice bloodline of A Xue. When it comes to survival, his abilities are a cut above yours.

Actually, you should get married as soon as possible. After you share a permanent mark, as a Feng Clan's other half you should be able to receive the blessing of a Phoenix."

"Blessing of the Phoenix?" asked Marshal Sirius.

"Child, did you not know anything about the background of your lover's family?"

"I only know about their special bloodline skill 'Rebirth', something that would allow them to come back to life even after death for three times." answered the marshal.

Alula Celeste deactivated his merging with his quantum beast and sat back down on the couch in front of Marshal Sirius.

Then he said, "There is also that but the limit of three times is fake. Don't you know that in the whole Empire the oldest is Feng Xuan? He was already 500 years old when he married A'Xue. The family of Phoenix is the oldest and noblest clan in the whole Interstellar world. Why? This is because they are half immortals. They could only die at the age of a Millennia. But even then during the reincarnation process, they would still be reborn in the Feng Clan. Of course, without the memories of their past life. But there is an exception to that, those with the purest bloodline are considered immortal. Unless Planet Oberion is destroyed, the Phoenix Clan would exist forever."

The lifespan of the people in this world is longer than usual. For ordinary unawakened ones, they are able to live to 200 years. Awakened ones can live to 500 years. There are four special bloodlines: Phoenix (Feng), Altair (Dragon), Lin (White Tiger), and the Navi (Black Turtle). Among these four clans, only two are unique. The Phoenix and Dragon Clans.

The Dragon clan can live for 800 years at the original and would increase as long as they get stronger. They possess the strongest strength and intelligence. Their special ability is to control time and space.

The Phoenix Clan can live up to 1000 years. With their special ability is rebirth. In short, they could revive their Ancestral Nest every time they died but no one aside from the Phoenix Family knew where the Ancestral Nest was. Others considered them as an immortal clan but their capabilities are still lower than that of the dragon clan.

The White Tiger Clan's purest bloodline is lost but their current descendant the Lin Clan able to use half of their special bloodline. Their lifespan can last 500 to 700 years. Their special skill is berserk. They are stronger during the full moon, only during this time, they could even contend with someone from the Altair family.

The Black turtle Clan is already extinct but their name is being used by the Snake Clan, the Navi. There is nothing special about the Navi Clan except for a bit of dragon king bloodline in their veins. They live a lifespan of 350 years at most.

As for the other clan bloodline like the Regulus Family who possess the bloodline of Lions, they aren't that special but their skill is quite strong. They are able to use the King's Spirit. It is because of this that they are the strongest among the other clans except for the Phoenix and Dragon Clan.
