Somewhere in the crater of the Second Doomsday Depression, a dark golden portal suddenly opened without warning. A figure staggered out of the portal and fell onto the hard black stone ground, grunting in pain.
After a long while, he recovered from the severe dizziness caused by the cross-border teleportation, covered his forehead and got up from the ground.
"Am I... back?"
He raised his head and revealed a somewhat pale face. It was Xue Hua who had just escaped death at the last second.
"Yes, Lord. The teleportation location is where you left, and you are teleported back along the same path."
The main nest's mind regained stability, and Isa's voice came in time.
At the same time, Xue Hua also sensed the psychic fluctuations from Zagara and Abathur in the main nest mind. Obviously, he should have returned to the second world by now.
"Master, your insect swarm welcomes you back."
Zagara also felt Xue Hua's return and immediately greeted him in a humble tone.
"Hmm... Huh? Wait, why is it so dark here? Has the Second World entered the polar night? I remember I didn't go there for so long?"
"Master, you have been away from this planet for more than four months."
"What?!" Xue Hua stood up in shock, glanced around the surroundings, and found that the crater in the Doomsday Depression was indeed dark and deserted, with only the large underground insect nest still operating in an orderly manner.
"Master, the place you just arrived is a gap in half-plane space. The flow of time there is different from the outside world. This is a normal phenomenon."
Isa explained aloud.
"I see...but why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"Master, I entered the gap with you and lost all contact with the outside world, so I cannot calculate the flow of time in the gap. If I rashly remind you, it will only mislead you."
"...Okay, I understand, hey...Zagara, please help me inform Annie and Funya, um, and Kasha, to tell them that I have come back.
After being away for such a long time, they are probably heartbroken."
"Also, what's the current progress of the cleaner plan?"
"I have already informed the two mistresses of your return, and they are now riding the King Insect to meet you.
The Cleaner Plan is going very smoothly. Our insect swarm has captured three enemy strongholds. On Dehaka's side, we are launching an attack on the fourth enemy stronghold.
When its action is over, the legion led by me will launch an attack on the fifth enemy stronghold.
Finally, we will join forces with the human allies to attack the last enemy stronghold.
The insect swarm's offensive has not encountered strong resistance for the time being, so the last two strongholds before the general attack are expected to be captured by the end of the next extreme day in the world.
However, attacking the last stronghold is expected to encounter greater resistance, because the enemy stronghold is very powerful and contains a large number of opponents with high psychic levels. Even if everything goes well, it will take at least one and a half polar nights to capture this stronghold.
"
"Well, overall it will take about a year and a half?"
"Based on the time of the previous world, yes, Lord."
Hearing this, Xue Hua nodded.
"I understand. You continue to implement your plan. I will arrive on the frontline battlefield soon. Then you can report the situation to me in detail."
"Understood, Lord."
"Abathur."
After understanding the battle situation on the front line, Xue Hua turned his attention to the large insect nest under his feet.
He remembered that there was a high-level demon who had "surrendered" to the swarm and was being transformed into a high-level commander of the swarm!
"The new insect swarm commander - Lilia, the transformation progress is 75%, the estimated time of complete transformation is the end of this polar night."
Abathur's report was as brief as ever. Unless necessary, this guy never said more than a word.
"Well, is there anything I need to know?"
"The new high-level commander has a very powerful psychic level. According to the master's instructions, he will be given special enhancements in combat effectiveness and hidden abilities. He will retain the confusion mechanism and enhance his mobility, making him suitable for single targets, groups, assassinations, lurking and destruction.
Combat.
Newly implanted, diseased claws: Strengthen its original biochemical weapon material to make it sharper and harder, and at the same time connect it to the newly added malignant bacteria culture capsule inside the body, which can inject malignant bacteria into the enemy when it is pierced into the body.
Disease bacteria viruses.
Malignant diseases will lead to a series of serious consequences, and if they are not eliminated and cured, they will evolve to be contagious after two hours, and can infect a large range of homogeneous organisms that have been in contact with virus carriers, making them infected with the virus at the same time.
become a new source of infection.
Newly implanted, hormone-secreting epidermis: This biological system can produce seductive twin hormones, causing organisms close to the commander to produce hormonal stimulation, thereby inducing a series of physical reactions and creating favorable conditions for the commander to fight and infiltrate.
This hormone remains for a long time, making it difficult for targets controlled by it to escape on their own.
New implants, deformed skeleton and invisible carapace: The new commander's body is very flexible and can undergo various deformations. Therefore, some genes of the mimic hatchlings are selected, strengthened and filled into the commander's body as a skeleton. This skeleton is normally hard.
The fixation, when activated, becomes as soft as muscle, supporting the commander's transformation.
In addition, due to the special needs of the new commander to perform the mission, the gene extraction part of the shadow insect's mirror shell was improved and optimized, and then implanted into the scaly carapace layer under the commander's skin, giving it visual, infrared, psychic and wave detection invisibility capabilities."
"The above is the general transformation plan for the new commander. If you have any needs, you can propose and modify it now."
Abathur's voice had no fluctuations, as if he was just doing an insignificant thing.
But through its series of introductions, Xue Hua has seen the birth of a super assassin with a psychic level as high as 9.9, who can become invisible, deform, carry infectious diseases on his claws, and can charm other creatures.
Coupled with Lilia's retained flashing ability and super speed, it is conceivable that this new commander will become the sharpest dagger hidden in the shadows of the insect swarm!
The army of shadow bugs and mimic hatchlings led by it will become the enemy's most terrifying nightmare in their midnight dreams!
Moreover, since Lylia was born in the Chaos Purgatory of intrigue, her natural diplomacy and deception skills can also be used by the swarm.
Therefore, it can apparently act as a diplomat for the swarm to make up for the swarm's shortcomings in this regard.
As for being in the dark...hem!
All in all, Abathur was very satisfied with Lilia's transformation plan. Xue Hua signaled Abathur to continue the plan and try to speed up the process so that Lilia could be born in her new form as soon as possible.
After that, Xue Hua remembered the negotiations between Keles and Protoss Executive Harens and the expansion of the First Fleet, as well as the expansion plan of the Second Fleet and various other things that he needed to understand one by one, so
Can't help but sigh.
"Hey...who said being the boss is comfortable?
It’s only been a few days, and things are almost piling up!
I haven't even had time to understand the abnormal situation happening in the spiritual universe!" (To be continued)
