Li Chonghe stood up and looked at his sister...

He sensed a familiar aura emanating from his sister; it was something that belonged to the same kind.

Li Xialu savored the pastries slowly and deliberately, seemingly oblivious to the anxiety in Li Chonghe's eyes. Only after she finished the last bit of pastry did she tear off the bite ring on her neck. Black elytra burst out from behind her. She looked at Li Chonghe with almost pity, and then stood up as well.

Li Chonghe opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but the facts before him were hard to accept. He looked at the elytra behind his sister, his thoughts like a ball of yarn that had been kicked.

In the end, he could only ask in vain, "When?"

"More than ten years ago?" Li Xialu admired the expression on Li Chonghe's face.

“You know, everyone except Alphas is unimportant,” she whispered to Li Chonghe. “To ensure everything goes perfectly, a lot of sacrifices are always needed.”

"This applies to both Omega and Beta."

Li Xialu walked around the room again, carefully admiring everything before turning to Li Chonghe and saying, "Omega and Beta will become Alpha after taking the drug."

What do you think Alpha will become?

Li Chonghe didn't know.

He wanted to contact his inside contacts at the palace, but he knew that the palace was probably in complete chaos.

“We can still maintain some rationality, remaining in a half-human, half-insect state.” Li Xiaolu pondered for a moment. “I guess Alphas can only become irrational monsters.”

Li Chonghe glanced out the window, though he couldn't see anything... He wasn't in Xingdu, but he could imagine the chaotic situation at that moment.

He sat back down in his original spot, looking at his sister who was standing there looking around. "And what about you?"

What do you want to do?

Li Xiaolu smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything."

"I wish all these damn Alphas and the Empire would die," she said with a grin, taking a few steps back. "That idiot's in the palace too, do you think he'll be scared out of his wits?"

Li Chonghe knew she was referring to the eldest prince.

He wanted to ask Li Xialu more questions, such as when she became like this, and whose arrangement the underground laboratory was, but it seemed that none of it mattered anymore.

His sister, the light brown-haired Omega in his memory, turned into an insect before his eyes, bursting through the top of the palace and flying away.

Outside, there was shouting and yelling. Some people were shouting for the Zerg, while others were constantly calling for guards and wanting to come in to check on Li Chonghe's safety.

"Get out." Li Chonghe raised his voice.

He looked up at the hole in the palace roof, the teacups left behind, and the empty pastries. He knew that he and Li Xialu would never see each other again.

Goodbye, sister.

...

Cen Yu only learned of the chaos in Xingdu three days later; even on vacation stars, people were reporting on the great turmoil.

The emperor of the empire turned into an insect... and appeared in Star City. He was a queen insect, a scenario no one could have written, but that's exactly what happened.

Cen Yu sat on the hotel sofa, watching the latest news reports. Chi Jiazhen sat next to him, watching the chaos unfold on television with him.

"...The old emperor is an insect?" Cen Yu still found it a bit unbelievable.

But when I thought about the well-hidden underground laboratory on Planet Nott, which no one knew about, it suddenly didn't seem so strange.

The princess has disappeared without a trace, while the eldest prince has been bitten to death by the irrational old emperor. All the students in the military and the Imperial Military Academy have been mobilized. However, since everything has erupted in Star City, it will be difficult to deal with a mad emperor who is very similar to the King Worm.

Even more terrifying is that the opponent can summon even more Zerg.

Cen Yu still didn't understand why the old emperor did this.

Chi Jiazhen stared at the chaos on television for a long while before saying, "He won't live much longer."

"ah?"

"The Zerg have long lifespans, but he won't live much longer."

The old emperor had been on the throne for 200 years. In his early years, he fought his way to the throne. By the time he had been on the throne for 185 years, people had already vaguely sensed that the old emperor was approaching his end. Only then did the struggle for succession slowly come to the forefront.

The lab has been searching for a possibility between humans and the Zerg.

A creature that is half-human and half-insect, possessing the mental strength and lifespan of the insectoid race, as well as the rationality and emotions of humans.

The fact that the laboratory remained undetected for so many years, and that the escaped personnel were able to safely remain elsewhere and become Cen Shen's mentors... if the old emperor was supporting them behind the scenes, then everything makes sense.

But Cen Yu still didn't understand how the old emperor could suddenly lose control and turn into a Zerg.

Logically, it should be a creature that is half human and half insect.

“He is an Alpha,” Chi Jiazhen explained, as if she could read Cen Yu’s mind.

"In addition, his lifespan was already coming to an end."

The Zerg component of the potion completely overwhelmed human instincts...

That's why we have the current outcome.

The Federation seemed completely unprepared for such a scandal within the Imperial family. Urgent reports followed that more Zerg were surging into the Imperial borders, and the Federation was preparing to send reinforcements.

They are allies when it comes to dealing with the Zerg.

Students from the Imperial Military Academy also poured into the battlefield, while the Imperial Military Academy itself sought assistance.

"You want to go back?" Chi Jiazhen observed Cen Yu's expression. He didn't need to observe; he knew what Cen Yu was thinking from the beginning.

“I still want to get my diploma,” Cen Yu said sincerely to Chi Jiazhen. “I really don’t want to drop out halfway through my studies.”

The empire is in chaos, and tourist ships that were scheduled to depart for other places today have been affected and have had to be temporarily suspended.

The newlyweds sought out Cen Yu and Chi Jiazhen, wanting to explain the situation to them.

Cen Yu nodded, thanked the other person, and was about to close the door... Finally, the wife asked softly, "Do you want to go back?"

"Go back to Xingdu?"

Although Cen Yu didn't understand how the other person knew his thoughts, he still nodded.

The wife and husband exchanged a glance, then the wife whispered to Cen Yu, "Good luck..."

"?" Although Cen Yu didn't understand what he meant, she still thanked him politely. "...Thank you?"

Then his wife looked at Chi Jiazhen and clenched her fist to encourage him.

"Keep it up, you too."

Chi Jiazhen: "?"

"Thanks……?"

Even though he didn't understand, why should he cheer up?
