Chapter 394: Incomprehensible
In the vast white snowfield, the four people walked down the riverbank.
Caesar carried the unconscious Sitar on his back, while Mingxiao carried Anno, who had also fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive energy use.
It was as if only the four of them remained in the world, the silence unsettling.
A mild, not-too-bitter wind occasionally blew by, making people feel refreshed.
As they walked, Mingxiao asked Caesar beside him, "Lord Caesar, where did you open the portal to? Why isn't it recorded on the map on the personal computer?"
"I don't know either." Caesar stared ahead, his calm, pale expression seemingly blending into the snowfield.
Mingxiao turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with curiosity.
This was the first time he had seen the Vanguard as a child. When he emerged from the shell, the Vanguard had already come of age and was the Zerg Vanguard, feared by all civilizations in the interstellar space.
Unlike the other cubs raised in the group, he was raised by Caesar. Although the other members of his rank didn't seem to like Caesar, only Caesar didn't find him annoying.
He followed Caesar around all day, watching him grow up little by little. Caesar taught him how to fight, let him choose the skills he was good at, and would often take him to other planets to search for the little prince.
In this world, apart from the Ohmu whom he naturally respected, there was no one better than Caesar.
From a young age, he felt that Caesar was different from the other Zerg servants.
Little did I expect that he would become the king of male insects.
Even so, the Caesar before him was still the vanguard he admired. Caesar had already differentiated into the male insect king, but he didn't perceive how distinct the distinction between the two was.
Aside from having stronger energy, Caesar did not bring the hierarchical barrier between the Ohmu and their familiars that Sitar possessed.
He always felt something strange, but now that Caesar was the King of Insects, his consciousness was no longer something that a mere follower like him could easily pry into.
Caesar's mental strength was far superior to theirs, and if he forbade anyone to spy on him, even Tanville would have had a hard time getting through.
Both the young prince and Sitar have fallen into a deep sleep again; otherwise, the young prince could have probed Caesar's consciousness.
"Xiao Mingxiao, just ask whatever you want. There's no need to mutter to yourself in the consciousness network."
Caesar smiled slightly and said to Mingxiao.
Upon hearing this, Mingxiao was about to ask a question when a metallic taste rose in her throat. She couldn't help but turn her head and cough twice, "Cough cough..."
Caesar turned to look at him: "Mingxiao, are you injured?"
Mingxiao pursed his lips, swallowing the metallic taste. "It's alright, Vanguard Lord..."
He smiled and said, "No, you are a king now, so you should be addressed as His Highness Caesar."
Caesar looked at the innocent and pure smile on Mingxiao's face, then his gaze fell on Anno on his back.
"Never call me that, even though I have differentiated into the male insect king."
Mingxiao was somewhat puzzled. Caesar was now the male Zerg king, and he knew that there was a very small chance that a high-ranking Zerg member would differentiate into a male Zerg king, but this was only possible in the absence of a male Zerg king.
These can differentiate into male Zerg kings, and are not the same as heretics whose thinking has broken away from the Zerg and who have betrayed the Zerg.
Mingxiao was secretly pleased, for he was genuinely afraid that Caesar would become a heretic and turn against him.
However, the Zerg Queen never has two male Zerg Kings. Just now, Caesar and Sitar fought to the death, so we know they cannot coexist.
As the later-split Caesar, he only had two choices: either die or leave the Zerg.
He knew how much Caesar loved the young prince. As the young prince's retinue, everything they had belonged to him. As for who loved him more, it was impossible to compare. They were all willing to dedicate everything to the young prince, their lives or their souls.
But the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the little prince on the throne is the male insect king.
Caesar should have known this would be the outcome, so why did he still try to sow discord? All Caesar wanted was to be able to stay by the young prince's side a little longer. The young prince actually liked Caesar more than any of his other family members.
He didn't understand why Caesar did this.
He was just a lowly insect who almost became a second-class member of the inner circle, and he couldn't understand Caesar, an insect capable of differentiation.
When the words "cannot understand" appeared in Mingxiao's mind, Mingxiao was also stunned.
They, the Zerg, possess a consciousness network, and all their thoughts are interconnected. Even if someone does something incomprehensible, as long as their consciousnesses intersect, they can understand each other's thoughts.
Now that he could no longer probe Caesar's consciousness, he had no choice but to ask him directly.
He looked at Caesar, who was walking two steps ahead of him, and asked, "Vanguard, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the Zerg. Since you don't want to be the king, why did you split up?"
Caesar smiled but said nothing.
Under Mingxiao's repeated questioning, he finally said, "Being a king is so prestigious."
These words are light and weightless.
