On the other side, the brain worm Sass saw that the other party made it so refreshing and refined to surrender to humans and live an ignoble existence. Among many brain worms, Sass was not only extremely intelligent, but also relatively more violent and mean.
character.
"Brainworm, during that time among humans, what did you do to save our great race as you say?" Sass's voice was like the sound of dry leaves rustling against the cement floor:
"It seems to me that you spend a lot of your precious time enjoying human luxuries."
"Of course, Sass, I don't have to prove to you the painful sacrifices and compromises I made in the past to complete this mission." Cerebrate α raised its head and looked at Sass, and various flashes of light came from the stacked fleshy bodies of the two cerebrates.
Flashing across them, showing their unusual inner emotions.
"Everything is according to my plan."
Augustus and Dr. Narud were both confused when they heard this. It seemed that it might, or probably, really had a plan, but it was hard to tell others.
At this time, the two brainworms became quiet, and only the light flowing on the surface was still flickering. Their heads were shaking slightly, as if two queen ants were exchanging pheromones with each other.
After a while, Sass seemed to accept the other party's words, looked at the eagerly watching humans around him, and then lay back peacefully in the Xel'Naga sarcophagus.
What can it do? Without a group of people around it, the Cerebrates are too fragile and clumsy, with no ability to resist, and can only be eaten by mermaids.
Finally, Sass understood why this brainworm, which was supposed to have a bright future, became like this. As a brainworm captured by humans, if it behaves too uncontrollably or has too much ambition,
Then there would be no possibility of surviving to this day.
Therefore, the captured new brain worms must show their identification with human culture and become addicted to it in order to make humans relax their vigilance. This is obvious.
Considering that he was in the same situation as it, Sass also knew that the other party did not mean what he said. But the words just now were actually meant for humans, and only it could understand the true meaning.
Two pieces of information were revealed to Sass. First, the new cerebrates were still loyal to the swarm and were tasked with saving the swarm in the dark future.
Sass still believes in this. The older the Cerebrates are, the more deeply influenced they are by the will of the swarm, but even if they can detect something is wrong like the Overlord, they are unable to resist. Devouring and assimilating the protoss is to inscribe
It is this thought that drives the Zerg to tirelessly search for the protoss in the universe, allowing the Overlord to rush towards the protoss empire's home planet without hesitation.
Secondly, if you want to save your life among human beings, you must hide your strength and bide your time, and don't show your sharpness too much.
The new cerebrates are hinting to Sars that for the sake of the future of the swarm, it is worth temporarily putting aside their dignity and compromising.
Of course, this may be easy for a shameless little brainworm, but as a powerful brainworm that has been loyal to its master for a long time, Sass is much more arrogant.
good.
It was just that Sass recovered from its initial anger and gave up its struggle after feeling the psychic energy fluctuations of many Dark Templar masters in the laboratory.
Not only does it lack offensive capabilities, but the Cerebrate's normal movement is also problematic. The possibility of Sass's self-rescue is zero. Only the Overlord or a swarm of insects discovers this place, and it has a chance to escape.
And Sass imagined that it wouldn't be long before humans would transfer it to other more tightly guarded human worlds, and its life as a prisoner had just begun.
"Brainworm, you don't have to convince me, I will witness this." Sass squirmed for a while in the Xel'Naga sarcophagus, as if he was adjusting to a comfortable position.
"Sass, the Terran Empire promises me that your life will be safe." Purple light flashed on the head of the Royal Cerebrate.
"No matter what, you must live. The deep bond between the brainworms will never disappear!"
"I am a noble brain worm, the son of the Lord, a lord of the swarm, and I am immortal." Sass said at last.
Several scientific researchers wearing white lab coats threw a bag of desiccant into the Xel'Naga sarcophagus and slowly closed it. Then, at the instruction of Emperor Augustus, the royal guards in power armor removed the sarcophagus.
Moved into a large rotating cylindrical psychic shield.
"When you are not with me, all the time that passes by will make me miss you even more." The royal brainworm said sadly: "Sass, in human terms, you were once my teacher, and even more strict.
father."
"The Cerebral Worm Sars has calmed down. Your Majesty, you can start charging the Xel'Naga artifact. Only by proving to the master that the Tyranids have the ability to reuse artifacts will the swarm of insects turn against the Rat when they invade the empire's territory next time.
"Dr. Narud then followed up with advice and suggestions to the emperor, but did not comment on the conversation between the two brainworms.
Now, large and small wars that break out on the Tyranid border have become normal. The swarm has not completely withdrawn from the Koprulu sector. They still linger on the edge of the Tyranid Empire's territory. This means that the Empire must maintain a large army on the border.
Military strength to resist another invasion that may come at any time.
Although the Empire is gradually regaining its lost territory, and most of the worlds that were once invaded by the Zerg have returned to peace, the war between the Empire and the Zerg swarm is still not over on the long border, with various types of wars of varying sizes.
Conflicts and wars occur from time to time.
"Doctor, Sass has just withstood a strong nova impact. Will draining its power hastily cause it to die of exhaustion?" Augustus didn't care about Sass's life or death. He only cared about whether the battery was still alive.
How long can it be used? If Sass is really going to die, he can only order the Dark Templar to execute him in advance, otherwise it will be reborn next to the master.
"The power of Sass is very powerful, enough to be used for one charge, and we will do our best to ensure the activity of Sass." Narud knew that Augustus could not refuse the huge war value of the Xel'Naga artifact, so he only needed to use
Nova Impact could save the lives of hundreds of millions of Imperial people, and anyone would make the same choice.
"The energy utilization rate of the Xel'Naga artifact is almost 100%, but human technology seems to be still in the Stone Age."
The killing effect of Nova Impact on Zerg is astonishing. It acts directly on the genetic level. It can be said to be "purification" in the true sense.
"If necessary, we have alternatives." Augustus pointed out this point lightly.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Brainworm α was still sighing secretly at Sass's fate, but upon hearing Augustus' words, his head suddenly glowed red.
This is really glowing red, and the light on its forehead keeps changing between red and white, just like a police light.
"After much thought, you are more experienced in charging artifacts," Augustus said.
"Augustus, you are going too far!" This brainworm, which had just been talking to Xass in a decent manner, and whose momentum was not even inferior, suddenly became anxious. It was extremely painful to charge the Xel'Naga artifact.
Comparable to the top ten tortures.
"The Dog Emperor!"
Augustus Mengsk is indeed the wise king of the Tyranid Empire, but he is the dog emperor of the royal brainworm. This does not conflict.
At this moment, Captain Malen and Lieutenant Colonel Trevas, who had just watched a big show next to them, were shocked by the disrespectful words of the brain worm. They may not understand why this brain worm acted like someone stepped on its tail.
I am angry and angry, but no one here will say anything disrespectful to the emperor.
In the Tyran Empire, even if the emperor is popular among the people, there are countless people who want to assassinate the emperor or are secretly resentful of him, but few people have the opportunity to yell in person.
After all, they had no idea what Emperor Augustus had done to this brainworm.
"What did it just say?" Captain Maren opened his eyes wide, but did not dare to say the word: "What's the dog?"
"This is really terrible." Trevas wanted to bang his head against the wall to forget what he had just heard.
"My God, this is the only word I dare not include in the emperor's daily notes," Faraday said.
"Don't you want to share the pain of Sasi?" Augustus was also inappropriate: "You just called it teacher and father."
"Impossible." We can never rely on the morality and values of the brainworm, especially we can't believe even a word said by this brainworm who has been hanging around Augustgrad's court for many years: "I can't see any of them."
If one of us had to suffer, it would be Sars."
"If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."
This is something that Tychus Finlay often said, and to some extent, it is what he has practiced throughout his life. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, the Royal Brain Worm also learned a lot.
In fact, the Royal Brain Worm was very happy when he heard that Augustus had caught Sars. No, someone had to suffer for it.
Xass may never leave the human laboratory again in this life, but it has gained the trust of the Dog Emperor and is not restricted. In this way, it will never be its turn to recharge Xel'Naga.
At this time, the Xel'Naga sarcophagus containing the brainworm Sath had already been sealed by a large psychic shielding device. Here, scientists from the Cerberus Project and the Moebius Foundation will further conduct further research on the Xel'Naga sarcophagus.
reinforcement to ensure that it is transported to the core world in a foolproof condition.
Thereafter, in the endless darkness, Thass will suffer endless loneliness and torture, unless it surrenders to the Tyranid human rulers, or another new unlucky brainworm will replace it one day in the future.
If Sath is willing to find new cerebrates for Emperor Augustus that can charge the Xel'Naga artifact, then it will have a chance to be pardoned.
"Yes, compared to Sass, your power is much weaker." Augustus thought for a while and then changed his mind: "Actually, I am doing it for your own good. You will understand in the future."
"What the hell are you talking about!" Brainworm was angry.
"As a soldier of the Terran Empire, I cannot allow you to insult Emperor Augustus in front of me." Lieutenant Colonel Trevas on the side finally couldn't sit still. He couldn't understand what it meant to charge an artifact, but
Nor could he tolerate a zerg speaking nonsense against the emperor.
"What emperor? He is a devil, a devil! Haven't you heard of the devil in heaven? He has angel wings, but he is actually a devil." Anyway, these words came out of the mouth of a brainworm.
Still very strange.
"Lieutenant Colonel, we cannot ask a brainworm according to human standards, but I will still thank you for speaking up." Augustus waved his hand, signaling Trevas to calm down.
"But" Trevas had no choice but to retreat.
"You just said that you want to rule and control mankind." Augustus was about to settle the score at this time. He was given a script, but the actor had a lot of free play.
"It's just bragging, why are you so serious?" Brainworm narrowed his eyes and changed the topic: "How dare I do this?"
"I think you have revealed your true colors." Augustus snorted.
"Don't we allow others to have some ideals? You Augustus can sit on this throne, but I can't?" As long as Augustus doesn't let this brainworm sit on the Xel'Naga artifact, it will have nothing to fear.
"I heard such disrespectful, rebellious, and frightening words twice in one day." Lieutenant Colonel Trevas gritted his teeth: "It is really treasonous!"
This is a rebellion.
"Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, forget it, it's just a zerg after all." Maren and Trivas' other subordinates held on to it tightly.
"Aren't you going to save the swarm?" Augustus just looked at the brain worm.
"I just made it up." Brain Worm sneered: "But yes, only I can save the insect swarm,"
actor.
It was once the owner of the largest holographic film production company in Augustgrad, and had been seen by all kinds of young actors and popular superstars. For a brainworm that once pretended to be dead to escape being hunted by the giant bird
, dignity and face are not worth mentioning at all.
"I really don't know whether I should believe you or not." Augustus smiled.
"This sentence is also for you." Brainworm said.
"Okay, okay, but before the artifact is fully charged, you have to stay here in case of emergency." Augustus waved his hand and said to the entourage following him:
"Let's go."
Augustus said and left the scientific research station. He stopped Dr. Narud on the way and asked him: "Doctor, you know the Xel'Naga culture well. Just now the brainworms said that the insect swarm was destroyed by the Xel'Naga."
Is enslavement really a thing?"
"Oh, the zerg and protoss are indeed the creations of Xel'Naga, and they are inextricably linked to their creator." Dr. Narud chuckled:
"If what it says is true, we have to be careful."
"Then, it says that the Xel'Naga will drive the worms to destroy the universe. Is this true? Did the Xel'Naga mention this prophecy?" Augustus asked again.
"Do you believe it?" Narud asked.
"You know, Emile, I am a staunch atheist." Augustus and Narud looked at each other and both smiled.
