Zerg Rescue

Gabrielle Thorne, the chief housekeeper of the Palace of Saint Hobel, was anxiously rubbing her hands and limbs, standing in front of the bottomless purple-black space-time rift waiting.

Her family's insect form is the black widow poisonous spider. They have three hands and mimic human form. They work efficiently and properly. The deadly poison hidden in their claws can also play a certain protective role. The Thorne family has always served as the insect queen and other high-ranking family internal affairs officers.

If her prototype was not more fragile than Ryan Warlock, whose prototype was the giant forked mountain stag beetle, and she might not be able to withstand the storm in the space-time rift that was powerful enough to tear apart the huge rocks, she would definitely carry out this insect queen rescue mission personally.

How can Ryan Warlock, a tough battle maniac, know how to take care of His Majesty the Honorable Lord!

She swore that if she found even a scratch from Ryan's claws on His Majesty's body, she would let this big guy taste the poison she had been brewing for a long time.

"Master Gabriel, please stop rubbing your hands and appendages," said Vio Wright, the exclusive medical officer for the Insect Queen of Saint Hobel's Palace. "The rubbing of your claws is almost louder than the fluttering of mating cicada wings, and it annoys me."

Gabriel's eight eyes glared at Vio. "There was a perfect opportunity to rescue us just now! It was you! You and Ryan, two blasphemers! Seeing His Majesty bathing, you deliberately delayed! When we return to Saint Joseph's Palace, I will report your disrespectful actions to the Court of Justice and have your eyes gouged out!"

Vio felt wronged: "Time and space back then were not as stable as they are now! And that was just a mimicry of His Majesty the Lord!"

Vio admitted that he had been truly distracted by the sight of Her Majesty the Lord bathing, as seen through the positioning observation device. The tender, white skin, incomparable to even that of a newly hatched larva, made his upper and lower jaws itch deep within his mouth. He wished he could hold Her Majesty the Lord in his mouth and lick her day and night.

But Gabriel must not be made aware of such disrespectful thoughts. The insects of his family would not tolerate the slightest offense to His Majesty. He did not want to experience the venom of a black widow spider.

Gabriel fell silent. For the Zerg, mimicry was like a piece of clothing that lasted forever. Being seen bathing in mimicry was no big deal; seeing the Zerg's true form was the true disrespect. But Gabriel's concerns went far beyond that.

As the most powerful of the interstellar Zerg, the Zerg Queen's strength lies not in physical combat prowess, but in her mental strength. As a combat race constantly battling alien beasts and interstellar humans, the Zerg's mental strength is easily disturbed, leading to deterioration. As the spiritual leader of all Zerg, the Zerg Queen can calm these restless Zerg. Legend has it that the powerful Zerg Queen can even connect the mental strength of all Zerg together.

However, the Worm Mother had a fatal weakness: her physical body was weak, so she needed numerous guards. The 13 satellites orbiting the Saint Hobel Palace housed the Worm Mother's Guards, led by her Captain and twelve guards.

The above is basic common sense known to all Zerg. However, as the family of the internal affairs officers of the Zerg Queen, the Thorn family knows more about the Zerg Queen than other Zerg.

When the Queen of the Insects is just hatched, she is too weak. If the environment does not give her enough sense of security, she will activate a self-protection mechanism - "simulation mimicry".

She will instinctively mimic the most powerful race in the current environment to ensure her safe integration into the environment.

This is a temporary form of self-protection. Once the insect mother feels safe, with proper guidance and careful care, she will automatically remove the simulated mimicry and return to her original form.

A Zerg Queen only lays one egg in her lifetime, which becomes the next Zerg Queen. The one that lays the egg dies immediately. However, this Zerg Queen was born when the previous Zerg Queen was patrolling the star region, comforting the Zerg stationed at the border, when she was suddenly attacked by a massive wave of alien beasts!

No one expected that a cosmic wormhole would suddenly open up near the route where the Worm Queen patrolled the star field. Tides of alien beasts leaped in through the wormhole, and almost all the guards and border guards were sacrificed to ensure that Her Majesty the Worm Queen, who was almost dying from the wormhole radiation and the impact of alien beasts, could successfully lay eggs.

But the round and smooth egg, which symbolized the next hope of the Zerg, was sucked into the wormhole and disappeared.

The Zerg were almost crazy, digging deep into the universe to find their new Zerg Queen.

After finally trying their best to mobilize the entire tribe to conduct spiritual induction and positioning, the Zerg discovered that their Zerg Queen might have traveled through time and space and fell into the territory of interstellar humans.

The interstellar Zerg and interstellar humans have been fighting for resources for a long time. This time, in order to rescue their Zerg Queen, the Zerg had to restrain their temper and negotiate with the interstellar humans, requesting cooperation.

With the joint cooperation of both sides, the Zerg and humans finally accurately located that Her Majesty the Zerg Queen had fallen to the ancient blue star, a place called Yangzhou.

Although three star years had passed between the loss of the Worm Mother's eggs and the rescue, theoretically, the simulated form of the Worm Mother's crown had not yet been finalized. However, during the positioning observations before the rescue, Gabriel realized that time might not be equal!

During the three star years that their rescue operation was carried out, judging from the development of the simulated mimicry under the Insect Queen's crown, it seemed to have lasted far longer than three years!

If Her Majesty the Insect Queen is not provided with a safe environment for too long, the simulated mimicry will most likely take shape!

The Queen of the Insects that he had just seen on the positioning observer looked about the same size as the mimic larvae, but Gabriel noticed the abnormal gathering of butterflies and bees in the bathroom.

The primitive Zerg from the ancient blue planet were all attracted here. Could it be that Her Majesty the Zerg Queen has entered sexual maturity?

If it really reaches sexual maturity, there is almost no possibility of breaking the simulated mimicry.

Lord! Gabriel felt the cardiac vessels in his pericardium pumping violently: such a fully human-like Queen! Her entire body was no wider than one of Ryan's arms! Even the weakest larva could push her over!

The friction sound of the claw hooks became more and more intense. Gabriel prayed sincerely to the Primordial Worm Queen, hoping that Ryan, a madman who only knew how to fight, would not cut their Worm Queen in half.

The current location of Gabriel and the others was calculated by human scholars to be the place most likely to overlap with the Yangzhou space-time of the ancient blue star. It is a desolate star in the chaotic star field.

The Chaos Star Field is the graveyard of cosmic celestial bodies and has almost no resources. Because the space-time in the Chaos Star Field is unstable and the magnetic field is chaotic, starships cannot enter. This rescue mission is carried out by the captain of the Zerg Queen's guards of the Saint Hobel Palace, the strongest Zerg, Ryan Warlock, who only leads the chief internal affairs officer Gabriel Thorne and the chief medical officer Vio Wright on a small motor ship.

Seeing that the storm in the space-time rift could be seen with the naked eye, and Ryan had not returned with Her Majesty the Insect Queen, Vio wanted to rub his hands.

But he couldn't. His insect form was that of an orchid mantis, and one of his mimicking hands was a mantis's catching leg. This sharp, serrated catching leg allowed him to neatly cut through the patient's carapace and remove their phosphorous wings and appendages. If he rubbed his hands like Gabriel, he would lose his mimicking hand.

"Why haven't you come out yet?" Vio muttered anxiously. "The storm and radiation in the space-time rift are very bad for His Majesty's health! We estimate that the maximum time we can stay in the space-time rift is only six minutes! Any longer than that..."

"My Lord!" Gabriel interrupted Vio, "Don't add to my anxiety! This damn Ryan, he deserves to be crushed to pieces..."

"Here it comes!" Vio's compound eyes could see farther than Gabriel's eight eyes. He keenly captured that in the depths of the space-time rift, there seemed to be a darker mass-shaped object rushing towards the rift at a high speed!

"He is in insect form now! Dodge--" Gabriel pushed Vio away and rolled to the open space next to him. A black hard object the size of a small motor ship broke out from the space-time rift like a cannonball shot out from a cannon barrel!

The rift in space and time widened, like a crack in cloth struck by a powerful punch. A powerful wind from the rift whipped outward, tearing deep scars into the solid rock of the desolate planet, which had remained unchanged for tens of thousands of stellar years. Gabriel cursed, carefully dodging the wind, and hurried towards Ryan.

Ryan's insect form was a full fifteen meters long, its carapace thirty centimeters thick. Even the laser particle blades struggled to penetrate it. At that moment, Ryan's thick, hard carapace had been ripped and tattered by the strong wind, revealing milky white flesh and transparent phosphorous wings beneath. Green blood flowed everywhere.

Gabrielle stabbed Ryan's tender flesh with her poisonous claws. The corrosive venom made the almost unconscious Ryan shudder with pain. She ignored Ryan's miserable condition and shouted, "Where is Your Majesty!!!"

Fortunately, Ryan had not lost his mind because of the insect transformation. He turned over, revealing his white figure with his abdomen carefully protected by the second pair of appendages.

Gabriel's eight eyes swept across Her Majesty the Zerg Queen with lightning speed. A cursory assessment revealed no external injuries, and he breathed a faint sigh of relief. A surge of affection welled up in his heart as he gazed upon the unconscious Zerg Queen, feeling truly worthy of Her Majesty the Lord! Even in her standard humanoid form, it was a stunning mimicry that unified the Zerg aesthetic!

She carefully picked up the pearly white Worm Mother Crown, which was as fragile and light as fresh snow, and turned to Vio, saying, "Hurry! The strong winds and electromagnetic radiation from the space-time rift are emanating! We must leave this damn place as soon as possible!"

After saying that, she rushed into the small motor ship and immediately closed the door to isolate the radiation.

Vio only had time to catch a glimpse of the snow-white hem of the insect mother's skirt, then stared at the closed hatch with his mouth wide open.

No, he hasn't gone in yet!

Also, should we just ignore Guard Captain Ryan? He's still lying on the ground in his insect form, belly up! Ahhhh! His legs are all tucked in!
