Chapter 518: The Dark Light Follows
Anno told Sevier about what he had seen in the sacred tree.
When Sevier found out, she discussed it with Darklight. To be on the safe side, Darklight decided to come out of the temple and stay by Anno's side.
However, Anno already has two cores in her body, and she cannot insert another one, otherwise she will not be able to withstand the overload of energy. Therefore, Dark Light can only temporarily store her consciousness in Flying Star or Anno's core.
Even though Sevier didn't quite agree with her mother's decision, she had no choice but to bring her mother to Anunu's side for Anunu's safety.
They currently have absolutely no understanding of the Shadow Zerg, and Anunu has already made contact with them; they could take Anunu away at any time.
Anunu saw galaxies, and they investigated them, but couldn't find them in the known universe.
Either this galaxy doesn't exist in their universe, or this galaxy has never made contact with any interstellar civilization, they themselves haven't reached interstellar civilization, and their galaxy hasn't been discovered yet.
However, their superpowers are similar to those of the Zerg. Since Caesar has the ability to open space, there must also be Zerg with spatial abilities among the Shadow Clan. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how they managed to infiltrate the royal palace.
When Anno learned that the Dark Light Queen's consciousness wanted to stay by her side, she was initially happy, but later she became somewhat worried.
Flying Star has its own core, but Dark Light Queen does not. Their cores are never as compatible as hers. If any problems arise, she fears that Dark Light Queen's consciousness will be affected.
“Don’t worry, Anunu,” Darklight comforted her. “I am the youngest King Worm consciousness in the temple, and it won’t dissipate so easily.”
The arrival of the dark light reassured Anno's followers, even though she only had one consciousness left. They still vividly remembered the iron-fisted methods this Iron Queen had used to rule the Zerg.
In the days that followed, Anuo stayed in Tianyun and met some old friends. Ten years had passed, and they had all taken up different jobs.
Knowing that Anuo had returned to Tianyun, they all came to see her, but many friends were still unable to see her for the time being due to work and distance.
It has only been ten years, and everything has changed. Anno cannot imagine what it will be like in a hundred or a thousand years.
She knew that she would never see these foreign friends again, so Anno cherished every moment she spent with them.
Anno met her former teammates from the aircraft team she had formed in Tianyun. To her surprise, ten years later, they were still in the same team, though there were a few new faces.
She saw Xi Mo, who looked much more mature than before. He was very happy to see her and gave her a hug. Anuo also hugged him back generously.
The retinue following behind Anno remembered very clearly this person who had confessed his feelings to their prince. Although the prince quickly rejected him, he had a very good impression of him.
Darklight resides within Anno's core, able to sense what Anno sees, as well as the consciousness of the Zerg around him.
She addressed these followers in her consciousness network: "You're all so nervous about just a foreigner? Useless."
The servants who had been scolded by the Dark Light Queen felt very ashamed.
But with the example of Bazeir, an outsider who transformed, they couldn't help but be nervous.
Anuo and Ximo had a meal together with their former teammates and listened to their experiences over the years.
Xi Mo has gone to fly fighter jets now, but he still participates in professional aircraft competitions and has won many championships in aircraft competitions in recent years.
After they finished eating, there happened to be a flying machine competition, and Anno went to watch it as well.
While sitting in the audience, Anno held her drink and talked to the Dark Light Queen in her mind as she drank: "Your Majesty, how does this taste?"
An Guang pondered for a moment and said, "It's a bit sweeter than the one I had at the restaurant before."
Anno smiled and said, "I like sweet things."
Afterwards, Anno and Caesar exchanged drinks. Anno's drink was sweet and sour, and Dark Light preferred the taste of it.
Darklight is now inside Anor's core and can smell the food.
However, she wasn't very interested in food. In her time, from the moment she was born, she had to fight for the rise and fall of the Zerg, and she hardly had a day to spare, either fighting or dealing with various political affairs.
When Séville was young, she went through a rebellious phase. She would argue with her, run away from home with her, and see the outside world and different civilizations and races.
When Darklight was in charge, she only needed to analyze who the enemy was and which civilization posed a threat to them. She only received information that she felt was currently useful to the Zerg, and she did not learn anything else.
She devoted all her energy to revitalizing the Zerg.
On the contrary, it was only after her death, in order for Anunu to come out of the temple, that she experienced many things outside that she had never experienced before.
These foods and entertainment options were things she knew about but had never tried herself.
Anno knew this, so she would eat different foods so that their Dark Light Queen could experience things she had never encountered before, as well as the outside world.
Throughout her life, the Dark Light Queen has hardly ever eaten normal food. She would never consider food that requires time to digest and be converted into energy, and whose converted energy is so weak as to be negligible.
Directly absorbing energy is time-saving and effortless. This kind of low-energy food doesn't mean much to her, but now that she's a conscious being, she can experience it.
Anno finished a drink and felt a little full.
Listening to the cheers from the audience, she felt somewhat dazed by the lively scene.
I always feel like something is missing from my life.
Yes, Sitar isn't around.
Thinking of Sitar, her thoughts drifted, wondering when he would emerge from the abyss.
It's been so long, she misses him a little.
After watching the competition all afternoon, XiMo's team unsurprisingly won the championship.
After giving them flowers, Anno said goodbye.
Before leaving, Xi Mo gave her a model fighter jet.
"Anno, I wish you happiness and joy forever."
This time, Xi Mo didn't hug her, but shook her hand instead.
They both knew that they didn't know when they would meet again, and that this might be their last meeting.
After Xi Mo finished speaking, he turned around and strode away, his back view much more dashing than when he left in front of An Nuo last time.
Anuo watched his retreating figure with calm and gentle eyes. He had already seen a wider world and was heading towards his own life, which made her feel very gratified.
Apart from special races like the Zerg, whose lives are predetermined from birth, the unknown lives of others seem mysterious yet full of anticipation, constantly filling their lives with experiences.
It was dusk when they returned. Instead of taking the flying vehicle, Anno and his family strolled slowly along the coast.
She walked to the shore, sat down on a rock, and watched as a group of whales leaped out of the water in the distance, creating shimmering splashes.
She couldn't help but recall the time long ago when she accidentally fell into a spacetime rift and saw Caesar's clone, the mermaid named Mingxi.
Perhaps Caesar in that timeline has already found her and no longer uses this clone.
"The sea here is very different from the sea of our Zerg," the Darklight Queen said in her mind. "These fish are quite good; they're edible, aren't they?"
Anno was pulled back to his senses by the Dark Light Queen's interruption. "Your Majesty, the Tianyun people do not eat whales. They are not on their menu."
Darklight said, "I thought they would eat any carbon-based life form."
Anno said, "I'm not that hungry."
The two chatted about the Tianyun people's recipes for a long time, and when they saw that it was getting dark, Anno and his family prepared to go back.
As they approached their house, Anuo saw a tall, slender figure standing in front of their villa.
A figure with a bag slung over one shoulder leaned casually against the wall. As if sensing her presence, the figure turned to look at Anno.
A strikingly beautiful yet aloof face, ruby-like eyes, and short white hair.
Anno paused, recognizing her as her second sister, Karina.
Upon seeing her, Anno felt an inexplicable joy well up inside her and ran quickly towards her. Karina naturally opened her arms and embraced her.
"Second Sister."
Anuo snuggled against her and looked up at her.
Karina ruffled her hair, and upon seeing her, her cool eyes instantly softened. "Long time no see, Xiao Qi."
Anuo reached out and touched her hair. It was a pity that her second sister had cut her hair short.
However, she looks much more capable and efficient. The contours of her face are also clearer and more defined than before, and the naivety in her body has completely faded away.
She is like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath, its sharpness concealed, but ready to reveal its edge at any time if needed.
Caesar and the others reacted much more strongly to Karina than they did to Xi Mo.
Dark Light was puzzled again. It was one thing to be nervous about the man from the Heavenly Cloud, but this was a girl.
Mingxiao whispered in the consciousness network, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but she actively wanted to become His Highness's familiar, but His Highness refused."
"Oh?" Darklight immediately became interested.
She carefully examined the girl named Karina in front of her. At first glance, she seemed quite pleasant, and judging from her figure and posture, she appeared to be quite skilled.
"Second sister, have you eaten yet? Let's not stand at the door anymore, let's go back and eat together."
"good."
The two of them, arm in arm, entered the courtyard, leaving their families behind.
Darklight said, "Anunu really likes Karina."
Her words were descriptive; she could sense that Anunu's attitude and emotions towards Karina were completely different from those towards Ximo before.
Just as Anno was about to lead Karina into the villa, she suddenly felt a surge of energy around her.
She stopped and looked around. Her vision seemed to be shrouded in a black mist, and everything around her became dim.
Karina drew her knife almost instantly and pulled her behind her.
