Just when the situation on the eternal battlefield has reached crisis point and is on the verge of collapse, in the void an unknown number of light-years away from here, deep in the mantle of a huge planet, an insect swarm nest is gradually emerging from a long evolutionary dormancy.
wake up.
In the center of this huge insect nest sits a giant biological spire that is several times taller than an ordinary main nest. The outside of this spire is covered with countless thick or thin blood vessel-like pipes. These pipes
Transport streams of magma-like energy to the top of the spire.
At the top of this spire that is hundreds of meters high, there is a cloud of mist filled with huge psychic energy. In the center of this cloud, there is a giant egg sac wrapped in fine bone plate scales and cuticle.
The energy transported by those pipelines was eventually injected into this giant oval egg. The giant egg expanded and contracted slowly, pulsing like a giant's heart beating slowly.
It has been beating slowly like this for a full 1.3 planetary revolutions. If calculated according to the revolution speed of this planet and the age of the Earth, it will take almost two years.
The entire insect hive is waking up from evolutionary dormancy, but this giant egg is still maintaining its own pulsing pattern, and it seems that it is not prepared for any changes.
However, at this moment, the beating of the giant egg suddenly stopped, just like a clock that had always been on time suddenly ran out of power, and the entire giant egg fell silent.
Then, about ten seconds later, the giant egg resumed pulsing, but at this time its pulsating speed was dozens of times faster than before!
The giant egg was beating crazily at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, cracks glowing with golden red light began to appear on the shell of the giant egg!
Its strange movements awakened the guards who had been surrounding it, and Abathana's worm-like body poked out from the purple psychic cloud surrounding the giant egg.
It floated next to the giant egg, stretched out its slender limbs and carefully touched the shell of the giant egg.
Every touch from Abathur caused some of the bone plates and scales on the shell to peel off, and the shell of the entire giant egg began to slowly become transparent.
As a large number of shells fell off, a human-shaped black shadow in the giant egg was also reflected in the continuous flashes of golden red light.
He seemed to be floating in a liquid container composed of pure, high-quality energy, and his entire body was connected to a large number of slender biological tubes.
"The master is about to awaken..." Abathur said as if talking to himself.
However, as soon as it finished speaking, two figures immediately flew out of the insect nest.
It's Zagara and Lilia.
"Great! The insect swarm has disappeared for a long time, and strange movements have begun to appear in our colonies!"
Zagara neighed with excitement, and even the tone of his words had the smell of blood.
Obviously, its patience with the resistance forces in the swarm colony is almost exhausted, and it is in urgent need of a hearty killing to vent its anger. Of course, it can also consolidate the position of the swarm in the colony.
"Our fleet has woken up from hibernation, and Stukov is leading them back to the border... Those protoss can finally leave. Although we are allies, I still have to say that I don't like those guys.
.”
Lilia's eyes also shone with joy. She was the first among all the high-ranking commanders to wake up. At the same time, as a diplomat of the swarm, she also had many things to be busy with, especially in the absence of the Overlord.
"Watch your words. The Master's evolution has entered the final stage, and his spirit may have revived in the main hive mind.
So if you don’t want to be thrown into the evolutionary pit to be converted into energy, you’d better be careful what you say.”
Abathur's voice has a sinister flavor, as if what it has benefited the most from this evolution (???) is that its way of speaking has finally improved?
As if to verify its words, just as the master of insect evolution finished speaking, a long-lost voice came from the mind of the main hive.
"Am I that harsh?"
"Master!" All high-ranking commanders heard its voice, as did all the insect mothers in the insect nest.
"It's me. Just like Abathur said, my spirit is awake now, but my body... seems to be a little bit worse, but it shouldn't be long."
Xue Hua's voice came from the main hive mind again, and all the insect swarm creatures suddenly seemed to have found their backbone, and their biological signals suddenly became active.
"Master, your insect swarm is ready to welcome you back."
Isa's voice also came from the main nest mind.
"Isa... I just hope you don't have a lot of important documents waiting for me to deal with..."
Xue Hua laughed jokingly, and then asked Abathur: "Didn't you say that after this upgrade and evolution is completed, the Leviathan flagship in my spiritual universe can be released?"
"The evolutionary process has been completed, but the release work needs to be carried out by the master himself."
Abathur answered succinctly.
"Very good...well, you all have nothing to do? Why are you all gathered around my place?"
Xue Hua nodded, and then suddenly found that Zagara and Lilia were still watching eagerly outside the egg sac where he was hiding, and suddenly felt a strange feeling of being peeped while taking a bath.
"Master, regarding the rebellion in the colonies..."
"Don't ask me about such trivial matters. Since I have given you full authority as the commander in charge of colonial military affairs, you will be responsible for such matters. As long as you think it is necessary, I will support even launching an extermination strike.
We now have the Dyson Sphere system to provide resources, and the creatures in the colonies... are only allowed to remain because there is no need to exterminate them.
If they don’t know what is good and what is bad, then it has nothing to do with us.”
Xue Hua replied in an extremely cold tone.
The universe is a cold and dark world, both externally and internally.
Although the "Law of the Dark Forest" may not be entirely correct, it does not mean that all civilizations in the universe can be compatible and live in harmony.
He had tried his best to show the greatest kindness to those weaklings. If they continued to provoke the swarm without good intentions, it would be considered suicide.
"I understand, Lord."
Zagara bowed lightly, then turned around and retreated.
Once it leaves, it is conceivable that there will soon be countless bloody storms in several colonies of the insect swarm.
"Lilia, what's the matter with you?"
After sending Zagara away, there was a "peeper" beside him who did not leave with him, so Xue Hua had no choice but to ask the former succubus queen with a hint of helplessness.
"Master~ You can't wear clothes in there, right~?"
A certain succubus queen who retained all her emotions and memories asked in a provocative tone...
"..." If Xue Hua could move his body, the expression on his face would definitely be very interesting...
"Ahem! Let's get down to business!"
"Tch~ It's really boring... Okay, okay, let's get down to business~
When you fell into evolutionary dormancy, the humans in the sanctuary world conveyed a request for help to one of our insect mothers through some special channels. How should this matter be handled?"
