But in either case...

This infiltration by Heracles was absolutely necessary.

This concerns whether the Zerg should change their current strategy regarding the Demons, and their assessment of the Demons' strength.

In such a major battle, any of the above could have gone wrong.

This could lead to the Zerg suffering many unnecessary casualties during their conquest.

It could even wipe out the Zerg's resources overnight.

Therefore, Jiang Wang could only send Heras into danger alone.

...

As Heras was about to arrive at the front line, the various equipment that Jiang Wang had prepared for Heras had also arrived.

When Heras stood in front of Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang suddenly felt a little dazed.

They hadn't spent time together face-to-face like this in a long time.

Since entering the Abyss Zone.

Heras has always been on the front lines.

Although there were always signs of life and messages about various situations from Horace within the hive.

But sometimes, there is a big difference between just looking at those cold, hard numbers and seeing things with your own eyes.

For example, you might have a boyfriend who's incredibly fierce online, but becomes very gentle in person, or vice versa...

Of course, there are quite a few people who are both fierce online and in real life.

Jiang Wang looked at Heras now.

At this moment, under the influence of demonic energy, the most significant change in Horace's appearance was his physical form.

It's unclear whether it was Jiang Wang's influence or Heras's deliberate shaping.

The once tall and mighty Horus has shrunk to a smaller size.

But shrinking means Heras becomes weaker; as the saying goes, the best things come in small packages.

Although Horace's physique was not as tall as before, all of his abilities had actually been greatly enhanced.

The original deep purple carapace has now turned into a low-key black, with only some dark purple patterns in certain places still faintly revealing its original color.

The originally sharp, huge, and somewhat exaggerated sickle has now become a very restrained sickle.

There was no reflection on the sickle at any angle, and if one did not know better, one might even mistake the sickle for a limb of the body.

But Jiang Wang knew that at this moment, Heras's simple scythe had become extremely terrifying.

It's not just the demonic energy that strengthens the scythe, making it terrifying.

Rather, the scythe that was concealing its sharpness at this moment was itself extremely powerful. The fact that it could suppress the master-level demon seed in an instant when Heras attacked the severely injured master demon seed is proof of this.

Besides the changes in his physical appearance, Horace's temperament has also undergone a significant transformation.

Although Horace was relatively restrained in front of Jiang Wang, his overall demeanor was indeed very ruthless, like a great general.

But now Horace's overall demeanor has become very reserved, even composed.

But Jiang Wang knew that, due to the presence of demonic energy, beneath Heras's restrained and composed demeanor lay an extreme madness...

Seeing Horace's silent expression, Jiang Wang smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Horace watched Jiang Wang's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him.

A man and an insect journey forward amidst the torrent of thousands of sails and ships.

After a long while, Jiang Wang stood in a spot with the best vantage point.

Beneath his feet lay a massive war fortress, surrounded by ocean-going warships ready to set sail at any moment.

Before Jiang Wang stood countless Zerg soldiers preparing to enter the capital region.

"I remember the first time you awakened your consciousness was on the novice trial battlefield."

"Back then, you were weak and old, arguably one of the weakest Zerg."

As Jiang Wang spoke softly.

Hera looked at the swarm of insects at his feet and recalled the time when he had just awakened.

At that time, thanks to a great deal of luck and various other reasons, he survived one battle after another against the Zerg.

I remember that battle. The Zerg were in danger when they faced the threat of the Taotie. All the Zerg fought back bravely and relentlessly.

And he was no exception.

The Zerg were truly in crisis at that time, and Jiang Wang even used his own blood to create the Overlord Blade.

Then a thought struck Horace.

He spoke a few words to Jiang Wang through the Zerg sequence.

"The Blade of Domination, bestowed with a name."

When Jiang Wang received the message from Heras, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence that you and the Blade of Domination were born around the same time."

"Perhaps that's why only you can lead the Blade of Domination."

Jiang Wang said, his hands behind his back.

Given the current size of the Zerg, many elite Zerg have already evolved into powerful individuals.

But without exception, those powerful individuals were unable to command the powerful Overlord Blade.

To date, besides Jiang Wang and Anna, only Heras has been able to command the Overlord's Blade...

Jiang Wang did not understand this phenomenon.

After all, Horace could mobilize the Overmind Blade in an emergency without Jiang Wang's orders, but other powerful individuals in the Zerg hierarchy who were superior to the Overmind Blade could not.

Unless Jiang Wang gives the order...

Jiang Wang did not fix this minor bug in the Zerg race.

Even if the repair only requires Jiang Wang to give a single command to the Blade of Domination.

But Jiang Wang never issued such an order.

To some extent, this can also be seen as Jiang Wang's trust in Heras.

But Heras did not betray Jiang Wang's trust.

A touch of tenderness flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes as he thought of this, but then his expression became resolute again.

"The Zerg have come this far, overcoming countless dangers and facing numerous powerful enemies, but we have emerged victorious."

"But this time I'm not confident."

Looking at the swarm of insects at his feet, Jiang Wang suddenly turned around and said with a very determined look in his eyes.

Following Jiang Wang's words.

Heras did not hesitate at all.

He immediately knelt down on the ground, his head slightly lowered.

A voice echoed in Jiang Wang's mind.

"Heras, for the Dominator, die!"

Heras’s voice was very deep, but Jiang Wang could hear the fervor in it.

Seven characters.

This demonstrates Heracles's attitude.

Since being infected by the Abyss, Horace has become increasingly taciturn. Since the essence of the Zerg's battle is madness and fanaticism, coupled with the guidance of the Abyss, one can imagine Horace's current state.

It's like a calm sea.

Although things appear calm on the surface, there are actually turbulent undercurrents inside.

Upon receiving Horace's pledge of loyalty, Jiang Wang was momentarily stunned. Horace's declaration of loyalty was extremely direct, and what surprised Jiang Wang was that Horace was willing to die for him, not for the Zerg...

The two may sound similar, but they are quite different.

But Jiang Wang didn't say much; he took two steps forward.

He gently patted Horace on the shoulder.

"I've already sent you the mission objectives and how to use the equipment in the Zerg sequence. If things don't go well, retreat and come back alive."
