May 11th. Light rain.

Under my command, the seven Zombie Kings finally brought down that alien spacecraft.

The structure of the alien spacecraft surprised me. It was a hybrid of machinery and biological matter. Its interior was filled with viscous fluids, mucous membranes, and other biological features. Even the pilot lay encased in a fleshy sphere, his consciousness linked to the spaceship so that he could control it.

As the alien spacecraft was shot down, the pilot also died inside that fleshy sphere. Their lives seemed to be intrinsically connected.

Outwardly, the pilot looked no different from a human. The Zombie Planet’s Planetary Will explained that this was the enemy He had spoken of before, known as the “Zhutian Civilization.”[1]. Calling them the hegemon of the universe wouldn’t be an overstatement.

The Zhutian Civilization believed itself to be the most powerful in the universe, demanding that all other civilizations bow at its feet. The Zombie Planet’s Planetary Will had witnessed too many civilizations refusing to submit and being annihilated by the Zhutian Civilization. HE had tried to save them, but every attempt ended in failure.

The Blue Planet’s Planetary Will hadn’t known about the existence of the Zhutian Civilization. Its knowledge stemmed from the living beings on this planet, who had only just begun to explore outer space. How could He possibly have learned of such a civilization?

The Zombie Planet’s Planetary Will also told me that the Zhutian Civilization possessed an energy source no other civilization had—spirit energy.

Spirit energy greatly enhanced living beings. By harnessing it, the Zhutian Civilization developed its own unique fusion of technology and biology.

Although it all sounds like pure fantasy, the alien spacecraft is right in front of me. I have no choice but to believe it.

HE also said that this spacecraft was merely a vanguard. With it destroyed, the Zhutian Civilization would soon dispatch more spacecraft to the Blue Planet. This was why it had organized the Zombie King Tournament—to accelerate my growth and grant me the strength to resist the Zhutian Civilization.

Taking a day off. I need time to process all the information the Zombie Planet’s Planetary Will has shared with me.
