Chapter 02
Two years later.
In the dark and vast universe, a biological space battleship that made all the imperial and federal armies afraid and terrified slowly sailed out from the jump point.
This biological warship has a dark appearance. If you look closely, it seems that the surface of the warship is covered with a layer of fine scales, giving off a cold and hard luster.
The middle-aged man with two tentacles on his head held a light screen as thin as a cicada’s wing in his hand. He bowed respectfully to the man sitting in the command room and said, “Lord Andrew, as long as we pass two more jump points, we can immediately return to our home planet.”
The Zerg has a strict hierarchy. The man sitting in the command room now is a high-level Zerg of the Mans group.
The more advanced the Zerg, the more perfect their anthropomorphic form.
Unlike the middle-aged man who still has two tentacles, the man called Andrew has a perfect human form. From his appearance, you can’t tell at all that his prototype is actually a hideous and terrifying Zerg.
Andrew Mance looked proudly at the low-level Zerg adjutant who was saluting him respectfully in front of him. He was about to speak when suddenly, a throbbing sensation as if coming from the depths of his soul instantly swept through his whole body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. He couldn’t even maintain his perfect humanoid mimicry, and his originally golden pupils turned into Zerg compound eyes in an instant because of excitement.
Not only Andrew, but all the Zerg on this biological battleship, including the biological battleship itself, felt the same throbbing.
Even though the Zerg have never felt this way, the racial nature rooted deep in their souls is conveying a message to them: the eggs belonging to the Zerg Queen sleeping deep in the Zerg territory are about to hatch.
——The Insect Queen they have been waiting for thousands of years is finally about to be born!
The Zerg adjutant had just come back to his senses from the joy that was emanating from his soul, and saw that the high-ranking Zerg who had been so arrogant to him just now was now like an extremely devout believer, with his entire body crawling on the ground and lowering his noble head towards the direction of the original nest.
And there was an unconcealable fanaticism in his voice.
“Supreme Mother of the Zerg, I would like to offer my most sincere blessings and my humble loyalty for your birth.”
At the same time, the Zerg’s home planet – the Proto-Nest.
The entire huge planet emitted long and joyful waves that only the Zerg could hear.
Then, as if there was a minor earthquake, the entire planet shook for several minutes.
Countless small white flying insects flapped their wings and hovered in the air, continuously sprinkling colorful petals from the sky to celebrate the arrival of the soon-to-be-born insect queen.
“King, have you already known that the Zerg Queen of our Zerg is about to be born?”
In the huge and empty royal court, Alden Mans, the lord of the Mans tribe, stood up from his seat excitedly. His dark golden pupils turned into tiny holes because of the drastic change of emotions.
Under normal circumstances, Alden would never have spoken to their king in such a tone.
But their Mans tribe was a fanatical supporter of the Worm Queen supremacy, and he was completely unable to suppress his emotions when he thought about the fact that the Worm Queen they had been waiting for a thousand years had actually shown signs of hatching, but he had been kept in the dark all along.
“Alden, are you questioning our king now?”
Nolan Silver Wing, the leader of the Silver Wing community, who was sitting on Alden’s left, frowned and asked in a cold voice.
“Your Majesty, that is not what I meant.”
Alden also realized that his tone was wrong, and he bowed his head respectfully to the man sitting on the throne.
“It’s okay.” The man sitting on the high throne finally spoke, his deep dark purple eyes staring at Alden who was lowering his head below, “Indeed, more than a year ago, I had already felt the fluctuations coming from the eggs of the hatching Zerg Queen.”
He is the king of the Zerg and has the closest connection with the Mother of the Zerg. Naturally, he can sense any subtle changes in the eggs of the hatching Zerg Queen. Therefore, more than a year ago, he had sensed the faint fluctuations of life coming from the insect egg that had been silent for thousands of years and was like a dead egg.
However, this slight fluctuation was too weak, and it soon fell into dormancy again, so he did not pay much attention to it.
It was not until recent months that this fluctuation of life gradually became stronger again.
“Then why did you–” Alden couldn’t help but get emotional again, but he soon realized that his actions had overstepped the mark again. The following words were automatically silenced, and he lowered his head respectfully again. However, the pair of pupils on his face, which were changing in size, honestly reflected that its owner was still in an uncontrollable emotional climax.
Hearing Alden’s condemning words, the slender fingers on the gorgeous throne tapped the armrests a few times, and Izzy’s deep purple eyes narrowed dangerously.
The next second, an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire royal court.
Especially Olden Mance, he was almost pressed to the ground by this invisible force.
In less than a minute, beads of cold sweat appeared on Alden’s forehead.
The suffocating pressure seemed to make the air in the room thick and heavy.
The four lords who were high and mighty in front of other Zergs now realized more deeply:
– The authority of the king must not be challenged.
“Lord Mance,” after an unknown amount of time, the man sitting on the throne stood up, his long silver hair as dazzling as stars falling from his shoulders, “This is the last time I will tolerate your insubordination.”
As these words fell, the pressure in the royal court that was so heavy that it was almost condensed into substance gradually receded.
***
Inside the insect mother hatching room which is guarded by layers of guards.
A whitish-white insect egg, more than one meter tall, stood quietly on the soft velvet cloth. The whole egg seemed to be breathing, emitting a soft whitish light as it expanded and contracted.
When the fluorescent light comes on, the huge insect eggs will become translucent. You can vaguely see a slender human-shaped shadow curled up inside the insect egg.
The door of the incubation room, which had been tightly closed, suddenly slid open quietly to both sides. Then, a slender and tall figure walked into the incubation room that no Zerg dared to approach.
Izzy slowly walked to the insect eggs that were about to mature, and his deep purple eyes stared at the slender figure that appeared and disappeared in the insect eggs with calm scrutiny. He and the Zerg Queen are both at the top of the Zerg race, so they will not be affected by the Zerg Queen’s mind link like other Zerg. Therefore, he was not like other Zerg who felt joy from the bottom of their heart because the Zerg Queen was about to hatch.
For him, he just needed the insect honey secreted by the insect queen after it fully matured to get back most of his sealed power.
…
Tang Li felt like he was in a sweet black dream. He didn’t know how long he had been floating up and down. Finally, his thoughts, which had been scattered like water waves, gradually gathered together. He moved his fingers subconsciously and immediately touched a liquid that seemed unusually viscous.
After the sense of touch in his fingers was restored, Tang Li quickly realized that his entire body was now surrounded by the sticky liquid that his fingers felt.
He remembered seeing Tang Yiran before he passed out, and vaguely heard the last words he said to him, as well as the subsequent feeling of suffocation from being submerged in water.
And then, there is eternal darkness.
——He should have been pushed into the water and drowned by Tang Yiran, but what is going on now?
