Chapter 1144: Followers of the Zerg
Mid-April, Galactic Calendar 3037
With the complete departure of the machine race, nothing chaotic happened in the universe at first.
However, some threats have already begun to emerge silently.
Inside the core of one of the two Zerg nests.
I bet no one would have imagined that this place would be teeming with insects.
You will see the presence of several interstellar warships.
These interstellar warships also have their own unique styles, and they do not appear to come from the same place.
One shuttle after another landed on a flesh-colored platform inside the Zerg hive.
The shuttle cabin door opened, and one by one, people wearing exoskeletons stepped out, with thin helmets on their heads to ensure they could breathe.
At the same time, they cannot see each other's appearance.
One of the people wearing a single-soldier exoskeleton armor paused for a moment on the soft ground, seemingly disgusted by the feel underfoot.
He looked around at the people getting off the shuttle.
He seemed to be trying to figure out who these people were.
While everyone tries to cover it up, some people's attempts to conceal it are essentially nonexistent.
For example, a giant who is three meters tall, even though he wears a helmet and a simple exoskeleton armor, can basically be identified by his distinctive body structure.
He came from a place called the Cyclops race, and was a space pirate king who was driven out by his own race.
Murder and struggle.
In the past universe, the border between the Starry Empire and the Holy Radiance Empire was always active, and it was also a notorious presence in the Star Realm.
But after the three great empires were taken over by the Wyvern, this one-eyed giant space pirate king disappeared with his fleet.
It never appeared again.
Rumors circulated that they were either destroyed by the JF-17 fleet during the operation or perished in some dangerous area of space.
I never expected to find myself here.
Besides that, you can also tell their identity.
Three-eyed demon, cannibalistic troll...
These are basically all notorious entities.
Soon, the group gathered in a place that resembled a palace.
These dozens of people stood in the middle of the palace, looking at a huge fleshy wall opposite them.
The large fleshy wall began to writhe there.
Finally, an ugly face appeared on the large fleshy wall.
It had a face that resembled an insect, but with many tentacles surrounding it, giving it a chilling feel.
"Welcome to our believers."
"Let me see which little cutie is missing?" a shrill voice rang out.
Many people shuddered, not because the voice was particularly terrifying, but because it seemed to be coming from inside their own heads.
Three disobedient children did not come.
Great beings dislike disobedient children.
"So what kind of punishment should we give to these disobedient children?" The ugly face revealed a ferocious smile.
He spat out three fleshy balls.
Inside the fleshy mass, you can see three hearts that look different.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present, even those wearing masks and helmets, felt uneasy, because they had certain thoughts running through their minds.
“I was there when you were in the most dangerous situation.”
We have provided you with assistance.
You have all expressed your willingness to join the great being as a signatory to the contract.
You gave your hearts, and in return, you received starship technology from a great being.
That allowed you to escape those disasters and survive in this universe until now.
And you promised that when the great being calls upon you...
You will undoubtedly dedicate everything to this great existence!
Everyone present is an obedient child.
As for those bad children who didn't come, they will pay the price for betraying the great being.
As it spoke, countless insects swarmed out from all around, rushing towards the hearts encased in those fleshy spheres and devouring them completely.
In the end, not a single piece was left.
No one spoke. They all knew what those hearts represented, since everyone present now had their chests exposed.
They would find a hole there, and inside the hole was not a heart, but a beating worm.
This is the price they paid for their transaction with this entity.
"alright.
The bad kids have been dealt with.
Now let's get down to business.
However...” The ugly face looked around the entire palace and said with some dissatisfaction, “We are all children of great beings.”
There's no need to hide it here.
Here you also have oxygen and an environment where you can survive.
so."
The ugly face suddenly roared, "Take off those damned masks!"
The sudden roar startled everyone.
But soon some people took off their masks, and indeed they could breathe and survive freely here.
Others, after some hesitation, finally removed their masks.
With a light touch of the fingers on the neck, the helmet covering the head automatically retracted, revealing its true form.
Black fur, and ears.
This is a half-orc!
If Charlotte and the others were here, they would definitely recognize this female orc.
The original princess of the Black Wolf tribe was also known as the Black Wolf Princess.
After Warhammer was taken over by the later Wyvern, a portion of the Black Wolf tribe chose to surrender.
Princess Black Wolf then vanished without a trace with her remaining forces.
Even when Blanche later took power in Warhammer, she tried to find the Black Wolf Princess but found no clues.
Almost everyone believed that the former Black Wolf Princess might have perished in the Warhammer campaign.
I never expected to end up here!
Princess Black Wolf's expression turned cold, and her gaze began to sweep over the people around her.
Apart from those who were basically guessed correctly before.
She also saw some unexpected people.
For example, the Judgment Angel King, who was rumored to have betrayed the angel race and joined the demon king's faction!
Previously, he served as one of the marshals of the demon army under the Demon King, the Black Angel Marshal!
The ugly face now revealed a smile, though to everyone else it looked extremely ferocious.
But the sound has softened considerably.
"That's good."
We are all followers of a great being, so naturally we should not conceal your faces.
Previously, it was due to the circumstances that forced it, but now the power of the great being is about to truly permeate this universe.
You will be able to stand in the light once more, and with the power bestowed upon you by the Great Being, take revenge on those enemies who have brought you calamity!
Upon hearing this, some people present were overjoyed while others were worried.
The Cyclops asked loudly, "Then what should we do?"
"That's a good question."
I need you to take something with you back to the home you once knew best.
Simply drop these things into the nearest star.
Your mission is complete, and you will then be able to welcome the arrival of a great being!
"The great being will see your efforts and reward you!" The ugly face and the voice began to sound somewhat manic.
He was like a madman.
"What did we throw into the star?" Princess Black Wolf couldn't help but ask.
"This is not a question you should be asking."
"Go do what you're supposed to do, and you'll naturally get everything you deserve," the ugly face shouted.
"Go, go and sow the seeds of faith throughout this universe for the coming of a great being!"
The entire universe will usher in a new era.
A wonderful era!
Eventually, those present began to turn and leave.
Princess Black Wolf quietly followed the King of Judgment Angels.
"What are you doing following me?" The King of Judgment Angels turned around and looked at the Black Wolf Princess behind him.
Princess Black Wolf stared at the face of the King of Judgment Angels.
His face looked as if it had been stained with some kind of corrosive liquid, making it extremely ugly.
If it weren't for the fact that the angels' appearance is so distinctive.
She simply couldn't believe that the person in front of her was actually the Angel King of the Angel Clan, who was known for his handsome appearance!
What made your face look like this?
"I've heard that the current King of Judgment Angels is a cold and aloof beauty," Princess Black Wolf said, staring at the other woman.
The next second, a sharp sword was held against her neck.
"I don't like people talking about what I look like."
If there is a next time.
"No matter where you are, I will make you pay the price!" the King of Judgment said coldly.
Princess Black Wolf sensed that the other party indeed possessed a terrifying killing intent.
If it were anywhere else, not here...
This woman would absolutely cut off her own head without any mercy.
"Okay, okay, I apologize for my rudeness just now."
Let's get down to business.
"What do you think of this mission?" Princess Black Wolf, ignoring the sword in her nose, stepped forward and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.
The Queen of Judgments also withdrew her sword; she did not want to cause trouble here.
Her cold eyes stared at the other person: "Since I chose to join the great being back then..."
Then I am willing to do anything for a great being.
how?
Do you intend to question the existence of something truly great?
This is yet another fanatical believer.
"No, I'm just curious." Princess Black Wolf had guessed it, and she didn't waste any more words with the other party.
He smiled, greeted her, and took his leave.
Then, he boarded his own shuttle and returned to his starship.
After returning to the starship.
She immediately ordered the bridge to move away from her.
He then returned to the captain's cabin.
She took off her coat and looked in the mirror at her ugly chest.
You can see something that looks like a maggot jumping around and sometimes wriggling.
That's the price they paid.
She absolutely loathed it.
But under those circumstances, only by accepting this deal could she survive, have hope of revenge, and reclaim everything that was hers.
And this great existence can also become a springboard for one's own use.
And just as she had predicted.
From this mysterious and great being, she obtained many technologies that were previously unimaginable.
She even possesses the technology for T6-level interstellar warships, but unfortunately lacks industrial planets or equipment to mass-produce them.
However, thanks to some cutting-edge technology they obtained from there, they were able to survive.
But now, the task assigned by that great being.
It made her feel uneasy.
She left the captain's cabin and went into a classified compartment on the starship, which was also used to store ammunition.
Here, she saw a huge insect egg, which was still beating like a heart.
You can even hear the pulsating sound.
The sound made her uneasy.
She always remembered her purpose: revenge. She simply wanted to borrow the power of a great being.
However, the other party ordered him to drop this thing into the star of his home star system.
She was worried that it was something bad.
She never considered destroying her own home, nor the homes of other orcs.
She can enslave them, she can conquer them.
These are all internal struggles among the orcs.
But destroying a galaxy was something she absolutely could not accept.
She paced back and forth here for a long time.
She returned to her captain's cabin and then secretly summoned a few people.
"Your Highness!" These people were all absolute loyal subjects of Princess Black Wolf.
"I am going to send you on a mission."
I'll arrange some small interstellar warships for you later. You'll be responsible for following those interstellar warships that came out with us earlier.
I followed them the whole time.
When they return to their respective star systems, they will release something.
You need to observe carefully what happens after that thing is released.
"No matter what happens, let me know immediately!" Princess Black Wolf said with a serious expression.
"yes!"
These loyal subordinates set out to carry out this mission.
But Princess Black Wolf remained uneasy and conflicted, unsure of what choice to make.
Time passed little by little.
Princess Black Wolf's fleet, after the entire fleet concealed itself and several group space jumps.
We've returned to our homeland, Warhammer!
Hidden in the darkness, Princess Black Wolf looked at everything familiar before her.
Familiar galaxies, familiar planets, familiar stars.
The only difference compared to before is the prosperity here.
Compared to the time when the Black Wolf tribe ruled, this place is now much more prosperous.
She even saw that the interstellar warship where the original emblem of the Black Wolf tribe was located was also sailing freely.
That's absolutely incredible.
Although she had heard that after the Wyvern took control of the warhammer, it did not purge all the orc races that had once opposed it.
But she never expected that these orc races would be given such important positions.
After some hesitation, she...
Using her long-closed handheld device, she contacted someone who was probably the person she was closest to while still alive.
She was one of her mother's sisters, and because she had no children of her own, she had been regarded as her own child almost since childhood.
She also respected this 'mother' very much.
The communication application is in progress.
As time passed, Princess Black Wolf felt an unprecedented sense of tension.
About a minute has passed.
The video footage finally appeared.
A familiar image appeared on the other side.
