In the dark and icy background of the void, the vision and range of the Protoss Storm battleship spanned half of the battlefield. The superheated particles driven by kinetic energy overload flew rapidly from above the Imperial fleet group, like thousands of ice particles releasing terrifying flashes.
The blue sun is majestic and magnificent.
As if focused sunlight penetrated the melting ice, the Hyperion's main laser cannons killed the alien dragons attacking the bridge one by one. A large group of mosquitoes were ignited by the point defense laser beam and turned into a mass one after another.
Exploding huge fireball.
At this time, the Dominion of Fire, which was only a few positions above the port side of the Hyperion, let out a silent roar, and a dazzling red light quickly lit up and then went out. A small group of Zerg Corruptors and Devourers were almost panicking.
Dodging this destructive force, they suddenly fell under the crossfire of the Final Judgment, Quake, Thunderstrike, Paradise and Icebreaker.
The tendrils of shadow continue to extend, and the Aether storm roars and bombards every battleship. There is war and destruction everywhere.
The Hyperion moved forward among countless fragments of metal and flesh, as if rowing through a large mass of dead fish floating in the water.
"The sound came from the front." On the bridge, Kerrigan was closing her eyes slightly and listening, as if she could really hear something.
"The Xel'Naga is right in front. I can already see the illusion he displayed in front of me. It is the natural law of the flow of stars in the universe."
At this moment, Augustus could only hear the voices of various imperial marshals giving orders on the command channel.
Warfield, Raynor, Horner, and Prior each led a quarter of the Imperial fleet, while Duke's Alpha Squadron acted as surprise troops, rampaging through the enemy's lines to disrupt the lines.
All orders must be brief and precise. Only one Cerebrate was laughing maniacally and shouting to burn all the zerg and void creatures, and kept shouting to kill, kill, kill.
This guy did kill a lot of enemies, but he was either so excited or so scared that he yelled and laughed so loudly that he couldn't even breathe for hours, so that everyone else had to
Kick it to the side channel.
And except for the blue, green and red light spots fighting each other on the tactical display screen, Augustus could not see anything.
These entangled light spots contain me among you, and you among me. They are wrapped one layer after another, like a thousand pieces of colored paper stacked in random order.
From the perspective of a naval battle, the distance between them and the enemy was too close, as if they were drawing swords to fight each other.
The orange-red flames of the naval guns were reflected on the portholes. The enemies torn apart by the gunfire turned into pools of horrific blood. The dying monsters looked like groups of snakes roasted alive by the flames. Whenever there was a city wall.
When void creatures, large or small, are killed, they will immediately turn into a thick fog spread with shadows, as if these things were originally made of the ashes of the planet.
An infected Gorgon-class battlecruiser was lying less than five thousand yards away from the Hyperion. It had now been completely destroyed by the Imperial fleet, burning and quickly disappearing from sight, like
It is a high mountain that is left far behind by the speeding train.
This huge battleship has now lost its glory, and together with the thousands of imperial soldiers it once had, it has turned into a huge monster that is half metal and half flesh. Its fighting method is completely different from the past. Augustus treated it by corrosion.
The jets composed of strong acid and toxins are so impressive that even missile nests and space torpedo bays have become hotbeds for hatching mosquitoes.
Needless to say, this must be the work of the brainworm Carlos and the infected UED General Dugar. Augustus swore that even if they survived to the end of this battle, he would pursue them to the end of the world.
And now, let alone seeing the Xel'Naga Kerrigan mentioned, if Augustus looked out through the porthole, he would only see countless void creatures at intervals. Every moment.
New shadow battleships are constantly appearing, and they are all monsters larger than Gorgon. They are all shaped by Amon using corrupted void energy in a way of creating things out of thin air.
Imagine this is a nightmare that you can't wake up from. There is darkness around you, illuminated from time to time by red lightning that tears the entire sky and the flames of countless artillery fires. From the ground to the sky, there are huge fires everywhere, those
They are all blazing battleships.
The starry sky here is sick, evil, and covered with terrible red scars. Even the starlight is weird, as if the heart is crying.
Now, even Augustus was secretly beating the drum in his heart. It was not that he felt that Kerrigan had gone in the wrong direction, but that the number of enemies seemed completely endless.
This is the void, what Amon calls the realm of God. In abstract terms, it means that he can amplify his servants and weaken his enemies.
To put it more realistically, the shadow corruption that fills the entire void has been constantly attacking Augustus' fleet, slowly eroding their shields and armor, until the accumulation of a small amount of water can penetrate a stone.
Just as those terrifying void creatures cannot exist in the real world for a long time without energy supply, when the armies of this world enter the void, the "air" here is also poisonous to them.
"Your Majesty, an abnormal energy source has been detected ahead." A communications officer also reported to Augustus at this time: "Dr. Stetman said he is waiting for you on the channel."
"Do as he says," Augustus said immediately.
"Your Majesty, no one told me that we are going to have a party with these monsters today." Stetman digressed as soon as he entered the channel: "Have you noticed those naval guns? Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-
—The enemies are all dead!"
""
"Just kidding." Stetman smiled awkwardly: "I discovered that since we started entering the void, this thing in the laboratory - let me emphasize, I mean the Xel'Naga artifact."
Egon Stetman often misses the point when he speaks. Compared with how concise Matt Horner's words are, the former is just as bad, but few people in the empire dare to point out to this eccentric genius.
at this point.
Stetman said: "The artifact has been absorbing void energy at an alarming rate, and there is almost no waste. It far exceeds the limit of our expectations, and it is simply like a pocket from another dimension. I guess it can be used
This recharges the Hyperion, but Swann's men might kill me."
"That's it?" The look in Augustus's eyes left Stetmann without any doubt that the emperor could kill him now.
Although this was not Stetman's fault at all, as he was speaking, thousands of Imperial soldiers were being destroyed along with their battleships, sinking into the deepest part of the void little by little.
The situation of the protoss is no better than that of the Empire. In the front of this huge combined fleet, they serve as vanguards, rearguards and scouts, enduring greater pressure and casualties.
"Well, on the other hand, I can confirm that we are approaching the creator of the artifact, which is the real Xel'Naga - not the corpses in Urna." Stetman swallowed.
"But it could be Aemon," Augustus pointed out.
"Yes." Stetman said: "But based on the existing evidence, we assume that there is more than one Xel'Naga."
"In fact, we believe that besides Amon, there are at least two Xel'Naga there, but they are much weaker."
A smile finally appeared on Augustus's face. He knew that Narud would not be happy to hear these words. As for the Aurus they were looking for, he was probably too old, too weak, and had been tortured for too long.
time.
And when Stetman's picture disappeared from the screen, as the Hyperion continued to move forward, Augustus finally saw what he wanted.
It was the outer space of the universe in chaos and madness, a forgotten prison.
Large expanses of floating continents are right in front of Augustus. Floating islands and meteorites the size of houses surround this area. Every bulge, section or giant crater-like crater is surrounded by
shrouded in smoke
In the shadow of the void. On it, the densely packed corrupt structures are like nails driven into the skin. They are sharp and sharp. Some kind of red steam rises up, emitting a blood-like light, like a raging hell.
.
Amon once corrupted El, but the degree of corruption was not one ten thousandth of what it was here.
"A large number of void creations, as well as countless corrupted creatures." At the same time, Kerrigan also opened his eyes.
At the same time, another large group of enemy troops gathered was trying to attack Augustus' flagship. It was a large cloud composed of insect wings or void carapace. The size of this cloud was planet-level.
Wordlessly, the fleet of Purifier protoss turned and accelerated to deal with these new enemies.
And now, even Augustus can hear Kerrigan's voice.
"Advance Purification of Corruption" Xel'Naga Orus now no longer needs to hide his true intentions in front of Amon. He is now more worried that Augustus and Kerrigan do not trust him.
He only hoped that Augustus really believed Zeratul's prophecy.
"I am Aurus, the last guide of reincarnation, the enemy of Aemon, and I am imprisoned here by him."
"Zeratul guides you to rescue me, help me escape from his control, and complete the last step of the endless reincarnation."
"Whose control?" Kerrigan asked.
As the scene turned, a sinister and vicious voice appeared in everyone's ears. At the entrance of a Xel'Naga temple that occupied the entire floating continent, an equally huge void creature suddenly appeared.
It was a nightmarish creature, ugly and evil, more like a dirty jailer than a guardian of the temple.
It is unimaginable that Narud always behaved elegantly and politely before his human incarnation in the real universe.
"I didn't expect it! Augustus, what an unexpected surprise!"
"Yes, I am surprised." Augustus's expression clearly proved that he was not at all surprised as he said.
Augustus cleared his throat and decided to humiliate Narud in return for his despicable behavior of joking about his childhood before he was banished back to the void: "I didn't expect that without a body, you Sarna
If you add it, you will return to the void. Here, you can continue to live, but we are not so lucky."
Narud made a suppressed rumbling sound, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of feces with difficulty.
This is what he was going to say!
In fact, Narud has prepared a long paragraph to humiliate and ridicule Augustus, in revenge for his previous abominable behavior of using a xel'naga like a donkey!
"How do you know?" In extreme shock, Narud almost blurted out these words.
"Know that you are a xel'naga?" Augustus answered the question with a question: "Isn't it obvious?"
"Think about it carefully, and think about when you showed your flaws. You are so smart, Emil Narud, you will understand after just thinking about it."
""Narud couldn't have imagined that Augustus had actually read the script.
"This is impossible!" The servant of Eamon completely lost his grace, and it was obvious that he had lost his guard.
At this time, more human and protoss warships have arrived and are seizing advantageous positions under the orders of their respective commanders.
Like a villain eager to explain his genius and evil plot, Augustus began to tell Narud everything:
"Yes, you are right. I have been using you from the beginning, using your Xel'Naga technology to build my empire."
Now, Augustus is like a scumbag who always gives up: "When the time comes, I will kick you away."
While Narud was furious, Augustus ordered: "Jim, Matt, throw down all the nuclear bombs and doomsday devices we brought, and don't show mercy to the enemies of the empire."
Obviously, Augustus was not prepared to send troops to the ground to clear away the void corruption bit by bit.
Immediately afterwards, Augustus connected to the communication with Tassadar and Alarak and said: "Archbishop, high lord, I need all the fire support you can provide now."
"Without precise coordinates, the target is too big. What we have to do is destroy everything there, a whole moving continent."
Although more warships were fighting hard against the Void Shadow, a considerable number broke away from the battle and began to move towards Narud's position, risking being torn apart by the enemy to carry out orders.
"Full fleet firepower!"
In fact, less than one-tenth of the fleet's warships successfully opened fire in the first round, but various bombs, gauss cannons and raindrop-like nuclear warheads still reduced all ground targets to ashes.
Tens of millions of suns rose at the same time, and their rays of light were almost comparable to those of the supreme stars in the universe. Such dazzling reflections turned the entire continent into a vibrating mass of light.
Beams of bright white light flashed from above the Hyperion. When the two arks of the protoss and more than a hundred motherships opened fire together, the continent was immediately cut into pieces and boulders like a cake on the table.
