"I am dust, and you are the storm."

"Great human, your swarm is more powerful than the original Zerg."

"I am willing to submit to you, to serve you faithfully, and to fight for you on the battlefield."

"Please accept my sincere surrender."

Dehaka's voice was very loud, echoing throughout the entire territory.

Su Bai was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat surprised.

The leader of this primitive alien insect actually surrendered and chose to submit to me.

This is truly a rare occurrence.

This is the first time since entering the Land of Redemption that we have encountered a local force that has voluntarily surrendered.

I just witnessed Dehaka's combat abilities firsthand. Although she can't compare to the Queen of Blades, she is already very powerful compared to ordinary Zerg.

Incorporating them into the territory will significantly enhance the overall strength of the swarm.

In particular, his two skills, Savage Leap and Intimidating Roar, are well-suited for large-scale battlefield combat.

What the Zerg currently lack is precisely this powerful existence, like a war machine.

With this thought in mind, Su Bai no longer hesitated and quickly said, "Kerrigan, cease your attack and accept Dehaka's surrender."

"Yes, my lord!"

Kerrigan nodded, and with a casual wave of her hand, retrieved the psionic orb flying in mid-air and merged it into her body.

Seeing this, Dehaka finally felt relieved.

Su Bai stepped forward and asked, "Primitive insects are independent and free, and will never submit to any foreign species. Why don't you choose to fight to the death, but instead surrender to me?"

Without hesitation, Dehaka replied:

"The original Zerg had many leaders who were like rocks, single-mindedly pursuing power, stubborn and inflexible."

"But I am like flowing water, knowing how to adapt to changing circumstances."

“I am willing to follow you, to follow the Queen of Blades. This is the wisest choice.”

Hearing this, Su Bai thought to himself, "I didn't expect this muscular hunk to have so many little schemes."

This is clearly like Zhang Fei embroidering – rough on the surface but meticulous on the inside.

He likens himself to flowing water, adept at changing course with the wind.

He's a total fence-sitter.

Su Bai moved his mind and checked its loyalty.

As expected, it was only 55 points.

If faced with an even more powerful being, there is a 99.9% chance that Dehaka will choose to switch sides again.

However, Su Bai naturally had a way to deal with it.

The blood pact I obtained earlier can come in handy.

Open the storage space.

Take it out.

Blood Pact

[Quality: Epic]

Disposable items

[Description: A master-servant contract forged in blood; if the servant shows any disloyalty, the servant will instantly explode and die.]

[How to use: Collect the blood essence of one of the servants to sign a contract]

"Dehaka, extend your forelimbs!"

Su Bai said quickly.

Faced with the pressure from the Queen of Blades and tens of thousands of insect swarms, Dehaka dared not disobey and obediently extended one of her forelimbs.

“Kerrigan, take a drop of his blood and place it on this contract.”

Su Bai issued the order.

"Um!"

Kerrigan nodded.

The bone wings pierced out, tearing through Dehaka's skin.

A drop of essence blood was collected, wrapped in spiritual energy, and placed on the Blood Pact.

The next moment.

The Blood Pact floated in mid-air, radiating a dazzling red light.

It transformed into countless streams of light, merging into Dehaka's body.

The synthesized voice of the system suddenly rang in Su Bai's ears.

[The Blood Pact has been successfully signed.]

[Owner: Su Bai]

[Minion: Dehaka]

[A master-servant contract forged in blood possesses unparalleled mysterious power; if the servant harbors any disloyalty, they will instantly explode and die.]

"How could this be?"

Dehaka's face was filled with horror, and his eyes revealed deep shock.

Su Bai smiled slightly and replied:

"Don't worry, as long as you have no ill intentions towards me, there will absolutely be no problem."

"From now on, there will be no more barriers between us."

"With the help of the interstellar swarm, you will be able to absorb more essence and become more powerful."

"Get up quickly, stop kneeling."

Upon hearing this, Dehaka finally accepted reality.

He stood up abruptly and said quickly, "I will always be loyal to you and will never betray you!"

"Excellent! Welcome to the Zerg Swarm!"

Su Bai smiled.

After the Blood Pact was signed, Dehaka's loyalty level went from 55 points to a maximum of 100!

Its quality has risen from legendary to the pinnacle of perfection.

"I am stronger than before!"

Dehaka shook his severed arm and muttered under his breath, "But... it hasn't evolved a new arm yet? Why?"

Su Bai used his mental perception to command the Queen Insect to come forward and heal Dehaka's wounds.

At the same time, he asked, "Will the other leaders of the original Zerg choose to surrender and join my swarm, just like you?"

Dehaka sat on the ground.

While receiving treatment, he responded aloud:

"They are like trees, hills, and boulders, facing strong winds head-on and stubbornly holding on. They pursue strength, vowing to fight to the death, and will not submit to any power."

"And what about you? Don't you pursue power?" Su Bai continued to ask.

“I am different from them. I can gain great power by absorbing essence. So, by following you, I can kill more enemies and become stronger.”

Dehaka spoke rapidly and without hesitation.

"I see!" Su Bai nodded slightly.

He paused, then continued, "The decision you made today is extremely wise! Believe me, given time, you will become the most powerful primitive Zerg!"

"Everything changes, and only by changing can we survive! Those other outdated and primitive insect swarm leaders will only face extinction in the end!" Dehaka said solemnly.

At the same time, the fungal carpet tumors that cover the surrounding territory are continuously secreting microfilamentous substances.

The land destroyed by the primitive burrowing worms is slowly but gradually recovering.

"The ground is riddled with holes, but thankfully it can be repaired, otherwise it would be a real eyesore," Su Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Kerry Ganti stepped forward, his eyes flashing with intense purple light.

The spiritual energy burst forth from his body and swept outwards.

The corpse of the primitive alien insect quickly shriveled up.

Clusters of purple light floated out, swirling and dancing in the air before merging into Kerrigan's body.

"The essence of the Primal Zerg, this long-lost ancient power, is truly extraordinary!"

Kerrigan stood still, her momentum steadily increasing.

The synthesized voice of the system's machinery rang in my ears.

[Hint: The Queen of Blades has successfully absorbed the essence of the Primal Zerg.]

[Hint: Primal Zerg Essence Collection Progress - 11%]

[Note: Each 5% increment represents a node, granting varying degrees of enhancement and improvement.]

[Note: A brand new skill has been awakened. Please check it yourself, Lord.]
