At the Oberion Empire, Feng Clan's Mansion.

The remaining direct members of the Phoenix Clan had all gathered together in the living room. They had just received the news and information about the events at Planet Citlali, Planet Zerg, and here at the Capital itself. Both Marshal Sirius and Marshal Janus didn't hide anything from this family. Now that both marshals young and old are away, the only ones who can put the noble clans and Imperial Family in reins are the Feng Clan. 

One of the aides in the Feng Mansion just sent away a few more people some noble families had sent. They wanted the Feng Clan to step out now that both Marshals are not in the Empire. No one knew who spread the news that the Old Marshal is not around, it seems that there are still some traitors in the Interstellar Federation. The Feng Clan didn't choose to lead but stood on the sidelines watching over the Federation and the Imperial Family.

Some small clans who work for them as their vassals were given a mission to investigate the Imperial Family and the Federation but they weren't allowed to get directly involved with the people within those two groups. 

In the living room of the Feng Mansion.

All direct members of the Feng Clan had gathered except for the two young lords of the house. They were all seated at the couches enjoying some tea but unfortunately, the atmosphere within the room wasn't that good. They had all read the reports that Marshal Sirius got from the Old Marshal Janus. Particularly the part about the Imperial Family is no more, they had ended up being vessels for the zerg race that took over their bodies.

Feng Tian commented after reading the reports about the parasitism of the Imperial Clan, "They are too careless! No one even noticed that the people they see every day had suddenly acted weird!? If not for the Empress then... we wouldn't have known those aliens secretly replacing humans with their own."

"Dear, ease your anger. At the very least, Zenith and Yue'er were not in the palace when that happened. If by then... I really don't want to think over what would have happened to our daughter and son-in-law. Sniff~ Sister Adhara~ Wuwuwu..." said Feng (Navi) Luna.

Even before her daughter and Empress Adhara's son had gotten married, Feng Luna had always treated the Empress as her elder sister. As she is one of the few who didn't side with the masses when the Navi Clan wanted to destroy her reputation. The Empress is quite a chivalrous woman. She is a person with a cool personality that could even contend against Emperor Sol, her husband.

Feng Tian had to comfort his crying wife, she had always been soft towards those she likes. "Shush~ My dear, don't cry. No one, this is our fault. Everything is because of those alien bugs." he said.

Meanwhile, Feng Xuan is thinking of something different instead of the problems regarding the Imperial Palace. He keeps watching the recording of Feng Jing who had executed the whole Black Turtle Unit and everyone that is involved in his treason. His wife, Xue Xia noticed that his husband had been quiet most of the time and kept watching the deeds of their youngest descendant, Feng Jing.

Xue Xia asked, "Husband, is there something wrong? You keep watching Xiao Jing's deeds. Didn't he do well with eliminating the dregs of the capital?"

"Hm~ Yes but there is something about Xiao Jing that makes me remember something our ancestor had said before..." answered Feng Xuan while still staring at Feng Jing's cold eyes yet mischievous smile. "Why are Xiao Jing's eyes glinting silver? Does this only happen when he's angry?"

When the old master of the house had pointed out this fact, the other three had no other choice but to stare at Feng Jing's eyes on every video and noticed that once Feng Jing is indeed angry his crimson eyes would sometimes glow with silver.

Xue Xia murmured, "This... It does not seem to be my bloodline either. What is this?"

"It really is the same in the prophecy. 'Thee destruction would come and darkness would fall only once the world had been destroyed once that the Phoenix would be reborn.' That's what our Ancestors had passed down to our family. They said that destruction is silver in color and black for darkness. But no one knows whether it was real or not." said Feng Xuan.

"This... Is our Xiao Jing a God?" asked Feng Luna.

Silence ascends in the area as each of them looks at the other's eyes seeking for an answer sadly no one knows what is wrong.

Feng Xuan said, "Forget about this for now. Let's focus on the problems of the Empire and the Imperial Family. Since Xue Ying and his partner are on their way back I will need to have someone send them to the Ancestral Temple and allow that child Lin Yven to enter rebirth. Wife, can I leave that to you?"

Xue Xia smiled at his husband and said, "Leave the children to me. Just focus on the Empire's problem. As for the war in Planet Citlali, Sirius and our darling would be enough for those Zergs. I am more worried about Brother Celes' retreat from the Zerg Planet."

"Dage would be there himself. There will surely be no problems at all. What I wanted to know is why Xiao Jing is not allowing us to capture those parasites at the Imperial Palace," said Feng Xuan.

Feng Tian said, "There might be something he knew that he couldn't tell us about. Father, for now, let's just keep an eye on the Imperial Clan and take control of the Interstellar Federation before those guys think of getting ahead now that Uncle Stellan is not around. Didn't we turn a blind eye to them all these years because uncle told us so? Now that most spies were cleaned up, let's protect Uncle's position from those robbers."

"A'Tian you are going with me to the Federation tomorrow. Xia'er once those children come back home send them to the Temple and instruct them the rules. Luna, I will leave the guests to you. This house would be used as a temporary headquarters for everyone once they've returned to the Empire. The Lin Clan is already half family since that boy Xue Ying had marked that good boy. We will treat them as family." commanded Feng Xuan as the leader of the Clan.

"We will follow the orders!"

Planet Citlali

Everyone was training their usual routines until the monitoring system left in the space outside the star finally detected incoming enemies entering the planet's hemisphere. 

PING! PING! PING! PING! 

[Enemies detected! Enemies detected! Low to middle level zergs had entered the planet. Their numbers are beyond a million still increasing.] 

Everyone's expressions turned serious as they all ran over to their tent wearing their armors and getting ready with their weapons. The rear support group had already erected a barrier at their base while helping the warrior in preparing for the battle. The busiest of them all is Solaris Vega who had been upgrading their personalized weapon since the start.

When everyone is fully geared they see Marshal Sirius in a pure black suit for battle with mecha configuration. It is the same suit as theirs which can be used for close combat and space battle. All their mechas were ready in their inventory gadget at any time. 

Since only Low to middle-level zergs had entered the planet, they can only fight without mecha to save energy stones. They can only use blades to fight the first few waves. 

Standing in front of the group is the Marshal in all black standing beside him is Feng Jing wearing personalized armor for the Feng Clan. A dark red armor with orange wings insignia on his back. His figure is slender and small but the aloof yet powerful presence he is emitting could blend with Marshal Sirius's cold and ruthless aura. 

Just with the two of them standing in front of everyone left an imprint that as long as these two fought in front of them, humanity would never lose to those alien races. 

Feng Jing and the Marshal as if feeling their gaze look back at them. The marshal's expression is confident and stern as usual but his presence is firm like staring at a colossal mountain. They couldn't even see the peak of his power. 

Meanwhile, Feng Jing's presence gives away freezing coldness but despite that, they couldn't move away from his gaze on him. He is like a fierce light that they could always see him as long as they try to look for him. Like a guiding light that pushes through the darkness. 

Marshal Sirius yelled, "There are only two orders from us. LIVE and WIN!" 

"Follow us closely or you might get lost~," said Feng Jing. His expression is playful but for some reason, they can feel his excitement within those eyes. The Bloodlust obsession for death and destruction. 

"YES, SIRS!!!" 

Marshal Sirius moved his gaze and looked at the smiling person beside him and held those slightly cold yet small hands with his big palms as if wanting to warm them. 

"Are you that happy, baby?" asked Marshal Sirius.

Feng Jing's smile turned even sweeter with this question. "Yes, this is the first time you've allowed me to fight until I get bored. You will give me those two Imperial Zergs right, my love?" 

"Yes. All yours, Jing'er." said the Marshal before lowering himself to kiss his wife's forehead as if giving his blessing to him. "Go ahead, baby. I will follow behind you soon."

Slightly unsatisfied Feng Jing grabbed his husband's collar and once again pulled him down. He wrapped his arms around the Marshal's neck and deep their kiss. The Marshal was at first taken in surprise but responded right away and the playful one in his embrace. 

They kissed as if it's the last day on this planet. Ignoring the other soldiers who had all averted their eyes from their bosses shamelessness. Only once they were both out of breath that they parted their lips. A silver line connects their lips until they break apart on their own. 

Feng Jing kissed his husband's nose and said, "I'll go ahead." 

Marshal Sirius reluctantly nods his head but keeps staring at the beautiful person in his embrace. Followed by a hum, Feng Jing disappeared on the spot like thin air. He had used teleport and had gone somewhere else. Everyone was stunned by the scene of Lord Jing disappearing in thin air. A commotion was heard from behind the Marshal but they shut up when they met with his cold and sharp gaze.

Marshal Sirius ordered, "Head out. Go to your positions. Jing'er will be cleaning up the first few waves. You'll be fighting high-level zergs instead. I will fight the guardians."

"Yes, Marshal Sirius!!!"

Then the soldiers run out of the barrier in the group. Following the detailed plan that they were practicing for weeks, they now entered the battlefield. The Marshal was the last one to leave the barrier because he was waiting for Solaris Vega to

repair his broken mecha from before. Until his mecha is completely repaired he cannot leave the barrier, that's what he promised his wife.

Marshal Sirius asked Vega, "How long would it still take to repair?"

"Five no... I will finish it in three days!" declared Solaris Vega.

Sigh~ "Okay go back to work." said the Marshal.

The marshal can only stay in one corner and pretend to meditate but in reality, he is watching the whole battlefield within the planet and in the other space with System Yue's help.

Traces of ice and white flames scatter all over Planet Citlali. Within those lands were piles of ashes or numerous broken ice fragments with green blood can be seen. This is the work of Feng Jing who could finally go wild for the first time. Each location Feng Jing had passed was left behind with traces of destruction as if a typhoon directly landed on them. 

Seeing this Ye Xiajie's black eyes show emotions of doting and helplessness.

Within the Marshal's soul domain,

"He looks like he's having so much fun. 13, did I hold back my wife's nature more than I thought I did?"

System Yue decided to answer honestly.

[Ever since the third world where Lord Hei had promised not to destroy a world where the Lord God's soul fragments is in it, Lord Hei had been always holding back. He might have been a bit refreshed when his memories returned. Milord, you are going to return with us in the system space right? Would those guys notice Milord's presence?]

Ye Xiajie whose eyes were only at his wife's figure at the holographic screen before him gave Zhi Yue a cold glance before resuming his habit of watching his wife all the time.

"They wouldn't notice. After all, my soul had changed after dispersing once. It is completely different from before." Said Ye Xiajie but not even System Yue who was with him that time noticed the changes within those black eyes.

As the darkness within the abyss, a glint of scarlet started to spread.. Like blood completely hidden within space devoid of light.
