Rise of the Horde - Chapter 261 -

Rex was an ordinary salaryman, resigned to a dull life of monotony in a towering megacity. But his world shatters when he’s conscripted by Nexum Dynamics, a ruthless megacorporation, and thrust into a brutal war for a barren, alien world. The planet holds unimaginable riches, but it’s also swarming with the Krhyssari, an insectoid race that dominates the surface with their hive-mind precision and relentless aggression. Amid the carnage, Rex had an extraordinary encounter with Cleo, an ancient AI, a survivor of a long-extinct civilization. Cleo isn’t just an artificial intelligence; she’s a consciousness imbued with memories of her people’s interstellar empire and equipped with advanced bio-nanotechnology. Offering Rex a new purpose and unmatched power, she transforms his fragile human body into a hybrid of living metal and flesh, making him the ultimate weapon. But Cleo is more than a tool of war. As she journeys alongside Rex, her cold, logical algorithms evolve, shaped by his humanity. Together, they form a bond that transcends the boundaries of man and machine, discovering love in the midst of chaos. As Rex and Cleo fight for survival, they uncover a shared ambition, to rise as intergalactic overlords, uniting or conquering the galaxy.

【Background fiction】
[abo theme, A has no pendant]
Flirting without knowing pure love alpha × gentle and kind omega
Jiang Yuchu × Xia Yirou
Summary of the emotional line: Jiang Zhi flirted with Xia in the early stage, and Xia flirted with Jiang in the later stage.
(probably longer period of ambiguity)
Business line summary: Gradually develop, but with golden fingers, the development is generally smooth.
————————————————————————
When he woke up, Jiang Yuchu was shocked to find that she had passed through
That’s fine
The level of economic development here is lagging behind, decades away from the level of economic development in the world she lived in. (The background is completely fictitious, everything serves the plot)
Not only that,
The people here are divided into six genders: male, female × alpha, omega, beta.
This is also acceptable
Who can tell her why she dresses like a scumbag
The original body has a bad personality, does not do a proper job, spends a lot of money, and abuses after drinking…
The ex-wife hates her, the daughter is afraid of her, and she was kicked out of the house by her parents (originally made by herself)
Unbearable!
Really: the beginning is the “peak”!
See how the “scumbag” reversed the market and reached the pinnacle of life, with a bumper harvest in career and love
The heroine has golden fingers and brings good luck.

Before we were together: Xiaoxia didn’t want to care about Xiaojiang
Xiaoxia: “Don’t touch me”
“leave me alone”
“I do not want”

After being together:
Xiaoxia: “Good morning kiss~”
“Good night kiss~”
“Farewell Kiss~”
—————————————————————————————————
Xia Yirou: One day in the future, will you suddenly leave me?
Jiang Yuchu: Fool~ There will be no such day. Wherever you are, I will be there.
Home is where you are
—————————————————————————————————
Xia Yirou: It’s you who made me believe that there is really love in this world.
Jiang Yuchu: Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, I will come to you
I will go against my nature, against my instincts, and love you forever – “The Selfish Gene” book review

Beside the coast, a hundred-meter star gate is overflowing with light.

Outside the star gate, the army made of steel can’t see the edge at a glance.

On the sky, a fighter jet flew across the sky, interweaving the iron curtain.

In the distant ocean, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and frigates are all over the sea, ready to go.

All the muzzles were aimed at a figure walking out of the star gate.

“I order you to withdraw in the name of the Federal Command, otherwise, all-out war awaits you.”

“war?”

Ancient and Jinlai took a step forward, and his body rose against the wind. In an instant, he grew from less than two meters to a Chaos Demon God thousands of meters high. The brilliance of a white dwarf radiated from him, and his own gravity alone caused it to be caused by thousands of miles around. Lightning and thunder, tsunami tides.

He bows his head…

Looking at a toy-like war weapon.

Reaching out, a hydrogen bomb fell into his hand.

The electron degenerate star nucleus in the body releases helium, and the helium element expands. The terrifying high temperature instantly causes the isotopic elements of hydrogen to aggregate deuterium and tritium, and the energy explodes. The sudden white brilliance is like lighting a sun on the sea.

Before waiting for the sun’s energy to be released, he closed his hands together, and the blazing whiteness mixed with hundreds of millions of high temperatures was compressed and sealed in the palm of his hand, escaping less than half of it.

“I think you should choose peace.”
