Xel'Naga will definitely have active minions in the second world, which Xue Hua has already predicted.
But this guy is obviously more cunning than Xue Hua thought.
Obviously, the cover-up of the previous mysterious sand dune incident was too hasty, which made it suspicious.
He must have sensed something before releasing information about the insect swarm to his followers.
Moreover, based on its understanding of the insect swarm and its previous behavior of capturing the protoss fleet, Xue Hua can basically determine the identity of this guy.
It is not a powerful existence native to this universe, nor is it a fallen life sower from its original universe.
It should come from the same place as the insect swarm and the protoss - the interstellar universe.
In the plot of StarCraft, there are two corrupted Xel'Naga.
They are respectively the God of Darkness, the Fallen, and the guide of the evolution of the protoss - Amon.
And Eamon's servant-the shape-shifter, Narud (Samir Duran).
Among them, Amon was indeed eliminated by Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades who ascended to Xel'Naga in the final battle.
Its echoes are everywhere, but it can never be revived from death.
But Narud is different.
In the game plot, this guy has had multiple identities because of his ability to transform, and he has been secretly conducting various weird and dangerous experiments.
That horrible hybrid thing was created by this guy.
This guy was stabbed to the core by Kerrigan's "Black Tiger Heart" in the Heart of the Swarm battle, and his physical body moving in the world was wiped out.
The main body was sent into the twisting void by Stukov himself using a luminous cannon in the Battle of Legacy of the Void.
It looks like it should be completely dead, but for some reason, it has become a corpse again in this universe...
When Xue Huazeng was promoted to the legendary level, he inexplicably received a reminder from a being who called himself "Yuan".
There is a passage in this prompt that seems to imply that Narud's time travel is related to the "source".
It looks like this "source" deliberately committed suicide and pulled this guy into this universe.
But Xue Hua still hasn't figured out what the root cause is.
But no matter what, Xue Hua has now basically determined the true identity of the enemy who has been hiding in the darkness, so he is not surprised by a series of actions of this guy.
You know, Narud has always been a mad scientist at heart.
It seems to be a fanatical follower of Aemon, and has even tried to resurrect the dark god at all costs.
But the motive of Amon, the God of Darkness, became clear in the end, which was to end the "endless reincarnation" passed down from generation to generation by the ancient Xel'Naga.
However, Narud seems to be loyal to Eamon, but its true purpose has never been exposed.
This guy just always acted like "I'm very loyal", and by the way, he also helped Eamon imprison the last uncorrupted Xel'Naga survivor "Aurus".
But when Xue Hua was playing games in his previous life, he never believed that this guy would be so "selfless" and "quietly dedicated" to Emon. It helped Emon and even voluntarily became its slave. It must have its own ulterior motives.
Purpose.
This guy has been obsessed with conducting various biological fusion experiments since he came to this universe.
Just like it once created a hybrid that combined the power of the protoss and the Zerg, it also collected a large number of genes from different creatures in the world of Sanctuary, and has already displayed some of its terrifying results to the world.
What makes Xue Hua most uneasy is what this guy tried to do while in Cui Fanke's prison of hatred.
Those clone bodies that looked exactly like the Hell Demon King once made him feel shuddering from the depths of his soul.
And there is no doubt that the disappearance of Andariel some time ago must have been the work of this guy.
If the opponent is this guy, Xue Hua feels that he needs to be careful!
"Stukov, are you there?"
Xue Hua briefly transferred his consciousness to the Sandworm Queen of the First World, and then contacted the commander of his First Fleet.
"I'm here, Lord, what are your instructions?"
"Xel'Naga has discovered the insect swarm, and it is estimated that it will take action soon. I want your fleet to be ready for battle at any time. It is estimated that this will be a fierce battle!"
"I understand, Lord, the first fleet of the swarm is ready and ready to meet any challenge!"
"Very good, remember, this will be a battle related to our life and death. If you fail, all our previous efforts will be in vain, do you understand?"
"Yes, Master, the swarm will not let you down!"
...
At the same time, on an unknown planet deep in the universe.
The temple of Xel'Naga is hidden deep in the planet.
Deep in this gloomy temple, in a huge fountain of purple mist, a terrifying monster slowly opened its eyes.
Its body slowly emerged from the mist, as if it were a terrifying nightmare from the deepest void.
Dark red psychic lightning surrounded it, crackling like a whip against the walls around the temple.
"The swarm... I should have expected it..."
A voice like murmuring in a dream floated out from the mist, filled with boundless hatred and hatred.
"This universe does not need a new savior, I am the real master here!"
"Hernandas! My slave..."
Hissssssssss!!!
Following its call, shrill neighing sounds echoed from below the temple.
"Go, bring our strength and destroy these traitors who have betrayed the will of the gods!"
"His! His!"
The neighing sound became louder, as if responding to its owner's command.
Immediately, a huge and dark shadow swam out along the cracks on the planet's surface, and disappeared into the endless starry sky in the blink of an eye.
"The second phase of the plan is about to be completed. After I finish another piece of pastry, the final fusion can begin!"
"I have made so many preparations, and I will never fall short like last time!"
"That idiot Eamon! Its plan is so childish! Failure is just its inevitable outcome!"
"But fortunately, its death is not worthless..."
"This time, no one can stop me from getting this power! The best way to end reincarnation is to be immortal!"
After some venting to himself, the huge shadow of Xel'Naga merged into the purple mist again.
It is looking forward to it, eagerly looking forward to it, just like a greedy hunter waiting for its prey to step into the trap...
...
At the same time, in another corner of the endless star sea, a huge star fleet suddenly emerged from the void without warning.
In the center of this huge fleet composed of a large number of Void Glow ships and dozens of aircraft carriers, there was an even larger golden armed colony ship, even the size of two Protoss Mother ships.
At this moment, in the command room of the colonial ship, a high-ranking Templar was listening to a report that was beyond his expectations.
"Executive Officer, we have just detected a huge psychic signal gathering in a star area not far from us. Judging from the type of signal collected, the opponent should be the fleet of alien creatures that tried to ambush us before.
