Chapter 535: Eternal Love (Final Chapter)
Seeing that the Wind Spirit Queen had arrived in time, Anno breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Her intervention was far more appropriate than any of them taking action.
She quickly stepped forward, snatched the broken swords from Caesar and Sitar's hands and threw them away, glaring at them, "Just this once, don't let it happen again."
Caesar smiled. "Whatever Your Highness says goes. I'll listen to Your Highness."
As he spoke, he reached out to take her hand, but Sitar pulled her close, and their eyes clashed, exuding a palpable tension.
Anno clenched her fist and punched him in the chest. "You actually kept this from me."
Sitar grabbed her hand and lowered his head to kiss her, but she covered his mouth, saying, "Don't kiss me, I'm still angry!"
Sitar simply kissed her palm, then held her hand and kissed it again and again, before whispering in her ear, "If you're angry, you can do whatever you want tonight..."
The second half of the sentence was silenced during their conscious exchange.
Anno's eyes lit up for a moment, then she said, "This doesn't mean I can forgive you right away."
Sitar said, "You decide the number of times."
Anno hissed, thinking to himself, "Damn it, Sitar is the most difficult one to deal with."
She tried to push him away to go to Caesar's side and tell him something, but Sitar held her tightly. "You can't go. It's my turn now. You have to be gentle with me."
Very well, now he's openly vying for favor.
Anno said, "I have important business to discuss with him."
Sitar said, "In the consciousness web."
"...Then why don't you remove the consciousness barrier?"
Caesar didn't bother arguing with him for a moment; he had already gotten what he wanted.
Anuo looked at Fengling and Feixing embracing in the hall. Feixing had waited for thousands of years and finally saw Fengling again. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
She saw that the dim light was standing quietly behind them, not showing any great excitement, but just quietly looking at her parents in front of her.
Anno suddenly realized that this was actually the first time Anguang had truly been with his parents.
When Feixing brought her out of the nest to Fengling, she had not yet hatched. By the time she hatched, Feixing had already vanished on the battlefield.
Anguang dedicated her life to hard work and struggle, accompanied by blood and fire. She suppressed all her emotions deep in her heart, never showing her love for her parents or her children.
It wasn't until after her death that Séville understood her mother's love for her from the large chest she had placed in the treasury, and it wasn't until after her death that she saw her parents reunited.
That regret that had accompanied her throughout her life was finally fulfilled at this moment.
Anno could sense the Dark Light Queen's joy; her eyes were gentler than ever before. She didn't need to do anything or express anything; seeing her parents embracing each other made her happier than anything else.
She could finally hang the sword high in the hall, temporarily sheathing the sharp edge she had carried all this time, and enjoy a moment of happiness that belonged to her alone.
"Baby, why don't you come to Mommy?"
Feng Ling opened her arms to the dark light and smiled as she spoke to it.
Even though it was a conscious being, Anguang stood up straight and said, "Mother, I have lived longer than you, so please don't call me that anymore."
Feng Ling floated in front of her and hugged her tightly. "Still so shy."
She lowered her head and kissed her dark hair, "You're still so cute."
An Guang's expression was slightly stiff. Although Feng Ling used to like to kiss and hug her when she was still around, she was never used to it.
With tears in her eyes, Feng Ling stroked An Guang's face and said, "Good child, you did a great job. You have taken so much for your mother."
Darklight shook his head. "This is something I should take responsibility for. It's nothing."
Feng Ling hugged her again, "You're still the same as before, making your mother's heart ache."
Anno saw them embracing, took Sitar and Caesar's hands, and whispered, "That's wonderful."
Caesar turned to look at her. "What did Your Highness say?"
Anno looked at the two people beside him and smiled, saying, "I say, it's really good like this now."
Caesar and Sitar exchanged a glance, concealing the daggers in their eyes.
Caesar then put his arm around Anno's waist and whispered in her ear, "Your Highness, you can do whatever you like."
After saying that, Caesar added, "Then, Your Highness, we had an agreement..."
Caesar mumbled the second half of his sentence during their instantaneous communication, which was so rich in content that Anno was stunned for a long time.
"Wh...what?"
Caesar looked at her with innocent yet somewhat aggressive eyes.
After a moment, Anuo came to her senses. "What? When did I agree to... this?"
That's a bit too... wild, she swears, at least she couldn't think of anything like it.
She had never experienced anything like this with Sitar before; it was beyond her experience and imagination.
Seeing her acting spoiled, Caesar patiently said to her, "Your Highness, please think about it again."
Anno fell into deep thought, and just as he was about to recall something, he was interrupted by Sitar.
"Anunu, come here."
Just then, Feng Ling's voice rang out, and she quickly escaped the somewhat tense atmosphere.
Let Sitar and Caesar fight it out. As long as they don't fight, everything else is negotiable.
Feng Ling hugged Anuo and kissed her little face repeatedly. "Anunu is so cute. It's a pity that Seville isn't here. I heard from Fei Xing that she looks a lot like your mother."
Anno laughed and said, "It doesn't look that much like it."
Feng Ling asked curiously, "How so?"
Anuo stroked his chin and said, "My mother is a little stubborn and headstrong."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ling could roughly guess what kind of personality Sevier had. She patted Anuo's head and said, "Sevier and her mother must have had quite a few disagreements. I hope they've made up by now."
Anno was very surprised to hear this. The core and soul of the Wind Spirit were shattered together on the battlefield, so she had basically never seen Sevier. But now she could tell what her next generation would be like from her daughter.
But upon closer reflection, it turns out that the Wind Spirit Queen simply understands her child.
She understood what kind of personality the Dark Light Queen had, so she also knew how her closest people would likely interact with her.
Anno said, "Mother and the Dark Light Queen have reconciled, and they often meet and talk."
Feng Ling said with relief, "That's good. An Guang has lost too much. I hope she can find something that makes her happy."
Anuo held Fengling's hand and said, "You love her, my mother loves her, and I respect and love her too."
Anguang watched them silently from the side, and when she heard Anuo's words, a rare gentle smile appeared on her face.
Wind Spirit and Dark Light simultaneously placed their hands on Anno's head, "Thank you, Annunu."
It rained again in the city that night.
Anno stood outside the palace, watching the torrential rain overhead being kept at bay by an invisible energy shield.
The Holy City possesses the strongest energy on this planet, not only in terms of energy ores, but also in the largest number of Overlords in history.
Caesar and Sitar's plans fell through, because Anno had many things to do in the next two days. She had to take Wind Spirit Flying Star and Dark Light Queen back to the Zerg Temple, as this place was not suitable for them to stay for long.
Before that, she had to help the Shadow Insects of the Holy City undergo an evolution, at least to reassure them and let them know that she was only leaving temporarily and would not abandon them.
Anno also saw a huge energy stone that the Shadow Zerg's high-ranking servants used to summon her.
It stands on the altar, the place she had reached before when she connected with the sacred tree.
At first, Anno wondered why this energy ore could have such a powerful effect, summoning her and her followers to such a distant planet.
Even the supernatural abilities of high-ranking family members are suppressed here.
Feng Ling told her, "This energy stone contains the core of all the male insect kings of the Shadow Clan in the past. This altar is equivalent to our temple. Their descendants can pray here and connect with our consciousness."
At this point, Feng Ling stroked Anuo's hair and smiled, "Actually, this place was originally built by the first generation of expelled male insect kings to communicate with the ancestors of Dis."
Anno knew about the ancestor Dis. During that time, she lived in the temple and got to know many ancestors. The ancestor Dis was the last insect queen who ruled over the two races.
“The ancestors of Dis loved this male insect king, but they also had to banish him. They never saw him again until their deaths.”
As for the stories of their ancestors from ancient times, these descendants only know the general outline. Anno and the others only know that all the queens uphold their responsibilities, never failing their own civilization and race, and never allowing anyone else to fail them.
Anno understood something and looked at Fengling beside him, saying, "Queen Fengling, was it when you encountered danger on the battlefield that the Shadow Insects summoned you through the altar?"
Feng Ling nodded. "When I was young, I formed a consciousness connection with the Shadow Clan. At the moment my core was destroyed, they summoned my soul by activating this energy stone. Because I have no core, I have been able to reside here for so many years."
Anno said thankfully, "Fortunately, I have two cores inside me, so I can bring you back with me."
After spending two days with the Shadow Insects, Anno performed a major purification on them and witnessed Caesar beat up all the high-ranking members, knocking them all down, and then ascending the throne that belonged to the Shadow Insects.
However, he only managed to sit on the throne once before losing interest. He patted the hard throne beneath him and said to Anuo, "We need to put on a thick, soft cushion, otherwise Your Highness will have a backache if you sit for too long."
Anno raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not going to help you manage it. I'd be exhausted if I had to manage both sides."
Caesar immediately became aggrieved, "Aren't Queen Sevier and the others over there? Not to mention Sitar."
Anno sighed softly, patted his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll be right back after I go back."
Caesar held her and looked up at her, just like many years ago when Anno retrieved the core on the sea of the North River Star, and he first held her waist. "Your Highness, you won't lie to me, will you?"
Anno said, "Silly bug, why would I lie to you?"
"I believe in Your Highness."
"So, open the portal to my space right now."
"......"
"Lord Vanguard! Your Highness!"
Mingxiao and his group looked at the two still cuddling on the throne and said, "The core of the energy ore has already connected with His Highness's core. Caesar can open a spatial portal to travel back and forth at any time. Why is he still putting on this show?"
"Isn't this meant to make His Highness feel a little sorry for him?"
"That's true, he'll get a beating from Queen Sevier when he gets back."
Finally, Darklight couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Anunu away.
Caesar slowly opened a portal in the main hall. As soon as Sitar led Anno through the portal to the Zerg royal palace on the other side, Caesar peeked out from inside and, with lightning speed, cupped her face and kissed her deeply.
"Caesar, come here and face your death!"
Before Anno could react, she saw her good mother, Sevier, chase after Caesar to the other side of the portal and beat him up.
Just as Anno was about to go over and persuade her mother, Sitar grabbed her and kissed her. After a long while, Sitar said, "Don't worry, Her Majesty the Queen will spare his life."
Anuo was breathless from his kisses. She glared at him and said, "So you only left me with a breath left?"
Sitar smiled and gently stroked her lips, saying, "How could I bear to?"
They said they were reluctant to part with it, but they weren't polite with their words.
It wasn't until Fei Xing coughed as a reminder that Sitar released her and went with her to the temple, where he returned Fei Xing's core to the temple and also allowed the souls of the three King Insect Ancestors to return to the temple.
As soon as Feng Ling returned, almost all the ancestors who could come out came out to greet her.
The temple had never been so lively, and the Zerg had rarely been so joyous.
Perhaps in the future, the Zerg's cold and aloof style will gradually change.
But what remains unchanged is their unwavering belief and their eternal loyalty to the Queen and the entire Zerg race.
After leaving the temple, Anno and Sitar did not ride back in Momo, but instead held hands and walked slowly back to the palace without saying a word.
Bao Bao and A Xun followed behind them, playfully teasing each other from time to time.
The road from the temple to the palace was long but flat. Anno remembered seeing her mother and the Dark Light Queen walk this road many times in her consciousness network.
Often, it was just the two of them, just like the path of the Zerg Overlord was destined to be lonely.
She turned to look at Sitar, and Sitar turned to look at her just as well. With a single glance, they knew what the other was thinking.
Strangely, Anno did not sense the loneliness that the Dark Light Queen and the others felt.
It was probably Ah Xun and Bao Bao making a racket behind them, and it was probably Ming Xiao and the others shouting and waving at her from afar.
It was probably the warm, strong hand that was holding hers.
They will spend many years like this in the future.
Life is long, and they don't need anything dramatic or eventful. They just need to stay by each other's side and live a simple yet happy life.
She and they will join hands and step by step enter their own era.
They will also come to the end of their world together.
