The Last Commander of the Red Alert

With matters on this front concluded, what caught everyone by surprise was the sudden appearance of Cosmic Behemoth Big White Rabbit at Base Number One on Yan Yun Star.

Big White Rabbit's appearance defied all expectations. Its colossal form shrouded the sky, rendering the once-massive Base a mere toy in comparison.

"How did Big White Rabbit appear? There's no opening in the ground," Yun Ru couldn't believe her eyes. Previously, Big White Rabbit had always moved through underground tunnels, but this time, there were no signs of any subterranean passages.

"Commander, the reason is unclear for now, but Big White Rabbit hasn't shown any hostile intentions. The alarms haven't sounded," reported a soldier.

Yun Ru's expression turned peculiar. The alarms at Red Alert Base could detect hostile intent, and if there were any, they would have triggered alarms immediately. Since the alarms were silent, it meant that Big White Rabbit indeed harbored no hostile intentions.

So why had it come to the vicinity of the Base?

During this time, Yun Ru and her two companions utilized Base's teleportation function and arrived directly at Base Number One. As they materialized, they saw the imposing figure that resembled a towering peak: Big White Rabbit.

Big White Rabbit's massive body cast a shadow that blocked out the sunlight, enveloping the Base.

Faced with this seldom-seen phenomenon, Yun Ru remained deeply cautious. The Superweapon within the Base stood ready, poised to act if Big White Rabbit exhibited any unusual behavior.

After a moment's contemplation, Yun Ru flew to the front of Big White Rabbit's head and called out, "Why have you come here?"

Yun Ru couldn't believe that Big White Rabbit would casually show up for no reason. Cosmic Behemoths possessed their own intelligence; thus, it could locate Base Number One wasn't surprising. What concerned Yun Ru was its purpose.

Big White Rabbit inclined its head slightly, gazing at the human standing before it, much smaller in size. It opened its massive jaws, but its voice was surprisingly soft, "I've come to see my child. I want to thank you all for protecting it."

Yun Ru was taken aback. Big White Rabbit's child?

She then recalled the Mutant Ghost Rabbit within the Base. Could it be that Rabbit was actually the offspring of Big White Rabbit?

This was puzzling. Yun Ru had never heard of Cosmic Behemoths giving birth to offspring. Each Cosmic Behemoth was considered unique, and their origins had remained a mystery since humanity began exploring the cosmos.

The fact that the Big White Rabbit claimed Rabbit as its child raised significant questions.

Yun Ru remembered that Rabbit had once mentioned being a regular rabbit, kept as a pet by a wealthy family. After the invasion by the Ghost Clan, it had mutated due to extreme hunger, consuming the bodies of the Ghost Clan members and becoming the Mutant Ghost Rabbit it was today.

How could such a Rabbit be the offspring of Big White Rabbit?

"Big White Rabbit, I find it hard to believe your words. Little Rabbit clearly transformed on its own; how can it be your descendant?" Yun Ru suspected that Big White Rabbit was lying.

She regretted not having psychic powers; otherwise, she could have determined if Big White Rabbit was telling the truth. The units in the Base with psychic powers were significantly weaker than Big White Rabbit, and their abilities were insufficient to discern the veracity of its words.

Big White Rabbit seemed to understand that Yun Ru wouldn't easily believe it. In the blink of an eye, its body slowly began to shrink until it was roughly the same height as Yun Ru. She descended from the sky and stood before Big White Rabbit.

"This matter is quite a long story. If you're willing to hear a tale, I'll tell it."

From the mouth of Big White Rabbit, Yun Ru learned that Cosmic Behemoths weren't incapable of giving birth to offspring. Instead, it meant that once their offspring were born, it signaled the end of their own lives.

Every Cosmic Behemoth was a unique existence, and the Universe couldn't accommodate two identical Cosmic Behemoths. This seemed to be a rule of the Universe.

Normally, the lifespan of a Cosmic Behemoth was exceptionally long, surpassing that of countless species. However, even they eventually reached the end of their lifespans. When their time was near, they would leave behind their offspring, ensuring the legacy of their kind.

Rabbit was indeed one of its offspring, but the circumstances of its birth were rather unique.

The Rabbit that was born was truly an ordinary Rabbit, devoid of any Cosmic Behemoth abilities!

Upon discovering this fact, Big White Rabbit grew distressed. How could an ordinary Rabbit become a Cosmic Behemoth? Even if it left Yan Yun Star, there was no way for Rabbit to achieve that. If things continued this way, Rabbit's future appeared bleak.

If it weren't for the significant damage that birthing offspring caused to its body, Big White Rabbit might have tried again to have a second offspring.

Looking at its only offspring, Big White Rabbit felt troubled.

By the way, the time when it gave birth to its offspring was just a few years ago, at a time when the Ghost Clan had not yet appeared.

Big White Rabbit had tried various methods, none of which worked. It even captured many Ghost Clan members and fed them to Rabbit, hoping it would make a difference, but it didn't.

For some reason, this particular Cosmic Behemoth had a natural inclination for consuming the bodies of the Ghost Clan, or more accurately, the energy within them. It believed that if its child consumed the bodies of the Ghost Clan, there would be a chance for it to become a Cosmic Behemoth like itself. However, it ended in failure.

Rabbit, after consuming the bodies of the Ghost Clan, nearly met its demise, and Big White Rabbit spent a considerable amount of time resolving the issue.

Honestly, if it hadn't witnessed its child's birth with its own eyes, it would have wondered if it had been swapped, as how could a Cosmic Behemoth give birth to a regular Rabbit?

The birth of Rabbit had severely damaged Big White Rabbit's body. It occasionally fell into deep slumber, and it was precisely this slumber that caused all the trouble.

Rabbit had somehow activated a teleportation device left underground and was transported to the surface, where it encountered a human and became their pet.

By the time Big White Rabbit woke up, it discovered that Rabbit had disappeared. It anxiously searched all over Yan Yun Star for its child, sometimes approaching the surface to devour some Ghost Clan members when it got hungry. It wasn't picky; living Ghost Clan and the bodies of the deceased were all the same to it.

Finally, after considerable effort, it found that its child was being protected at a place called Red Alert Base. What was crucial was that its child had awakened the bloodline of its kind, becoming a true Cosmic Behemoth... in its juvenile stage.

After hearing Big White Rabbit's story, Yun Ru's expression was quite peculiar. She hadn't expected the situation to be so dramatic.

"Commander, do you think Big White Rabbit's words are credible?" Yun Ru asked Su Chen, who was on Earth and had been hearing the story recounted by Yun Ru.

"Well, let Rabbit come out and meet its mom, or maybe its dad?" (To be continued)
