Chapter 139: The Mark
"Vanguard Lord, please open the portal quickly! The King and Queen are eager to see the young prince."
Mingxiao urged Caesar on.
Caesar looked at Anno, who was now asleep in Bazel's arms.
As soon as Karina left, her tense nerves, which had been stretched taut all night, finally gave way.
Caesar immediately tried to open the portal, but as soon as it opened, it twisted and disappeared right in front of them.
Cyrus frowned slightly: "What's going on? We've already left the area of the floating island, why can't we use our abilities?"
After saying that, he immediately used his ability to verify it, and the result was the same as Caesar's: the ability dissipated as soon as it was used.
Mingxiao and the others were also unable to use their abilities.
"They must have expanded the range of the floating island's magnetic field."
It was Bazel who spoke; he pulled the blanket covering Anno closer to her.
Mingxiao asked in confusion, "But why can my personal computer still receive signals?"
Bazel: "This shows that the magnetic field cannot completely suppress it; you just need to go a little further to use your abilities."
Secris looked at him: "How did you know?"
Looking at Anno sleeping soundly in his arms, Bazel said, "I received information from the Northern River rebels that the Northern River has long prepared various countermeasures against you and has methods to suppress your abilities."
Obsidian snorted coldly, "Beihe stole our little princess and made her suffer so much. She'll have to pay the price sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, Caesar and the others immediately turned serious. If they didn't need to stay by the young prince's side, they would have stormed the Northern River Federation headquarters right away!
Caesar took a few deep breaths, temporarily suppressing his rage, and crouched down to pat Apuda on the back. "Apuda, swim further away, away from the magnetic field."
Yapda let out a whale-like cry. He didn't recognize Caesar, but he was familiar with his consciousness, as it was Caesar who had summoned him to Anno's side.
It doesn't communicate with him on a frequency, but they can connect with Anno to form a consciousness network. Yapuda is also in this consciousness network, so it can understand what he says.
Yapoda could sense the magnetic field they were talking about and led them away from its range, swimming towards the deep sea.
Zerg homeworld, Royal Palace.
All the relatives and clansmen were unable to get up due to the Queen's raging aura, and were also infected by the Queen's anger, all of them revealing their original forms, wishing they could rush to the North River Star System and slaughter everyone!
Beihe stole their little queen insect, they deserve to die!
"My Anunu!"
When the Queen learned the truth, not a single item or ornament in the palace survived; they were all shattered by her violent energy.
The energy spread outwards, shattering the massive mineral energy field they had just artificially constructed.
If this palace hadn't been intended for the young prince, the queen probably would have leveled it entirely; her fury was no less than that of the king back then.
Sevier's expression was so cold it was almost icy. She paced back and forth in the hall, constantly trying to sense Anunu's consciousness.
But separated by a distant galaxy, even with the Zerg's powerful consciousness network, she couldn't sense any of Anunu's consciousness.
Her Anunu, the Anunu she had painstakingly protected with her primal energy, had been stolen!
Three hundred years have passed since she fell into a deep sleep. What kind of life must Anunu have led outside during these three hundred years? Without the company of her people, she must have felt extremely lonely.
She must be searching for her father and mother every day. Just thinking about it makes Sevier's heart ache so much she almost suffocates.
Seeing Sevier's furious and anxious appearance, Augsis stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and comforted her, "Caesar and the others have found Anunu and will be back soon."
Sevier pulled her hand away from Augustis and turned around to punch him in the chest.
Augsis was prepared to be beaten by Sevier, but when Sevier's angry fist landed on his chest, the force was reduced, and it didn't hurt him at all.
He grabbed her fist and pulled her into his arms. "It's my fault, it's all my fault. You can hit me however you want."
Sevier said coldly, "If it weren't for your old injuries not having healed, I would have punched you!"
Augustus: "Yes, yes, I know you care about me the most."
Sevier pushed him away with a cold face and walked out of the palace, with Augsis quickly following her.
Sevier stood at the palace gate, looking up at the starry sky. Their planet was in perpetual night, without any stars to illuminate it, relying on the unique luminous creatures and minerals on the planet to light up the darkness.
Sevier looked up at the starry sky above, wondering if her Anunu was also waiting for her mother to pick her up.
If she hadn't known that Anunu's retinue had the ability to open portals, she would have immediately taken a warship to pick up Anunu.
Sivitro and the North River are far apart. Even if they jump over there, it will take a long time. They are afraid that Anunu will not be able to find them when she gets home and can only wait anxiously here.
Tianhe Star, deep in the ocean.
At dawn, as the sun rose above the sea, Anno felt an intense surge of energy and awoke from her sleep.
The sea surface shimmered, bathed in the morning sunlight, which gilded it with a layer of fine golden light.
She stared blankly at the scenery before her, feeling utterly powerless from the excessive mental exertion.
When Bazel saw that she was awake, he patted her head and said softly, "Nono, are you hungry? If you're still sleepy, go back to sleep."
Anno gently shook her head; she just wanted to stay quietly for a while longer.
Caesar and the others knew that Anno had woken up, but they did not go forward to disturb her. Anno had now established a consciousness network with them, and they could clearly sense her consciousness and emotions, knowing that she wanted to stay quiet.
But Caesar still knelt down in front of Anno, took a jar from his waist, opened it and held it to Anno's lips, "Your Highness, please have some water to calm your nerves."
Anno smelled the sweet aroma of honey from the jar, and seeing Caesar's focused gaze, she took two sips from his hand.
The sweet taste of the honey water soothed her slightly dry throat and eased her tense nerves.
Suddenly, a long golden thread appeared in Anno's sight. The golden thread got closer and closer to them, and when it got closer, they realized that it was a golden sand jellyfish.
Countless golden jellyfish flew towards Anuo, almost covering the entire sea surface, creating a spectacular sight.
This was the first time Bazel had ever seen so many golden jellyfish. Years ago, in order to gather enough golden sand to support Anno, he had found a habitat for golden jellyfish. The golden sand on the black market was too expensive. He risked his life to compete in underground arenas, but the money he earned was still not enough to buy enough golden sand to raise Anno. He had to think of other ways.
Fortunately, he was able to raise her to adulthood, and he will always stay by her side and never let her suffer these hardships again.
Anno watched as the golden jellyfish surrounded her, some even landing on her body, and more golden jellyfish came from afar.
Yapuda was overjoyed to see so many golden jellyfish and kept making whale-like noises.
The energy gathered by these golden jellyfish made Anno feel very comfortable, and her chaotic mind was greatly soothed.
She relaxed and, under the special reassurance of Caesar and the others, gradually drifted off to sleep again.
Caesar crouched down, trying to take Anno from Bazel's arms.
Bazel tightened his grip and stared coldly at Caesar.
Caesar thought to himself that if he didn't know that Bazel had saved His Highness, he would have punched him.
"I'm taking Your Highness home now. The portal can be opened."
The energy gathered by the golden sand jellyfish isolated the special magnetic field, preventing them from continuing to venture into the deep sea.
Upon hearing this, Bazel tightened his grip on her, but in the end, he let Caesar take her in his arms.
He knew that their Zerg race had a unique social hierarchy, and these familiars were her closest people.
Caesar opened the portal while holding Anno and said to Bazel, "You can come with us, but once you step through this portal, you will become one of our insectoid race."
Secris and the others looked at Bazel. Caesar wasn't actively inviting Bazel, but rather sensing from the consciousness network that His Highness wanted him to come along. Bazel had already been marked with the Zerg mark by His Highness, and the insect pattern on his neck was still shimmering faintly.
This is not just a simple pattern; this mark will allow him to adapt to the Zerg's energy and survive among them.
He just needs a transformation process.
