Chapter 359: Becoming a Heretic
When he revealed this secret to His Highness, he was prepared to die.
The Zerg cannot allow him to remain as a dangerous heretic; the best way is to completely eliminate him.
He shouldn't have put His Highness in a difficult position, but the further he went, the more his thinking was affected.
In that case, the harm to His Highness will be even greater, and His Highness will find out sooner or later.
He thought that at this moment, he might still be able to gain a little favor from Her Highness. Her heart was so soft and gentle, and she had indulged him countless times.
Before he became a complete heretic, he opened his consciousness to her without reservation.
When His Highness is drunk, his memories are preserved. He can seize this current memory and take it with him when he leaves.
Now that Your Highness knows his secret, he also wants to gain a little more of Your Highness's favor. After tonight, she will no longer remember.
Anno stared at him in silence for a long time.
Under the influence of alcohol, her thoughts became even more confused.
Thinking about what kind of punishment Caesar would receive, she angrily and anxiously slapped Caesar across the face.
Caesar still looked up at her, his eyes filled with unwavering devotion and pure love.
She sighed deeply, hugged his head, and said in a choked voice, "What... what are we going to do?"
As a queen insect, she should have had Caesar tied up and taken back to be executed at this point.
Those who deviate from the mindset of their race are the most dangerous beings in the Zerg race.
But... but how could she bear to do it...?
Her mother taught her that it was their innate mission to give everything for the Ohmu.
But she had experienced those hardships and knew how painful and difficult they were, while Caesar had experienced even more than her. Even she was affected in terms of personality and behavior, let alone Caesar.
The familiars and the Ohmu are one, so should the familiars be abandoned and their pain and sacrifices ignored?
Should we just take all of this for granted?
Anno felt this was wrong. She could accept their sacrifices, but what about her? What should she give in return?
The Wind Spirit Queen endured inner torment throughout her life. For the sake of the Zerg's stability, she had no freedom of her own. As the Queen of the King Zerg, she had to sacrifice her entire life and her freedom. What she gained, she lost one by one. This was her sacrifice.
The Darklight Queen dedicated her entire life to the Zerg, even suppressing her love for her daughter, who remained unaware of her love until after her death.
The noble and supreme status of the King Insects is something they have earned by shouldering the responsibilities of the entire Insect race.
Take responsibility in your position.
At this moment, Anno felt the responsibility on her shoulders for the first time.
Caesar is her servant, and it is because of him that she has become what she is now. She cannot be so easily labeled a heretic and executed.
Relatives and Ohmu are interdependent, especially higher-level relatives that possess self-awareness and emotions.
Her hands were placed on her chest, her consciousness flowing within the core of the flying star.
In his last words to the Dark Light Queen, Fei Xing said that having emotions was actually a cruel thing for the Ohmu.
Especially after possessing her, he then deprived her of the emotional gains she had made.
Feixing sensed Anuo's consciousness, and energy overflowed from its core, soothing her anxious emotions.
“Anunu, don’t worry. Caesar’s situation is a bit complicated, but he doesn’t deserve to be executed.”
When Caesar confessed to Anno, Fei Xing isolated their consciousnesses within the consciousness network.
Caesar's case is not an isolated one.
In the past, those who broke away from the Zerg mindset were mostly high-ranking members of the Zerg, possessing very keen and delicate emotions. Generally, heretics are divided into two types. One type is those whose thinking has changed and become confused under the influence of outsiders. This is one of the Zerg's weaknesses, and they can be used by outsiders to destroy the Zerg's internal forces. Once discovered, they will be executed immediately. This type is often those whose thinking has been deliberately disrupted by the enemy during war.
Another type is like Caesar, whose thinking is affected by unexpected circumstances, causing him to close off his consciousness and develop selfishness that his followers have never had before.
Or rather, ambition.
This type of tribe does not shake the social structure and foundation of the Zerg. What they want is more authority and freedom, and they want to challenge for higher positions, just like strong members of wolf packs in other civilizations would challenge the wolf king.
This heretic was different from other Zerg even before it was born; it just needed an opportunity to change their compliant mindset.
All of the Zerglings are male; only the Queen and the Queenlings are female.
Therefore, the heretical followers only want to challenge that one position.
The position belongs to the male king.
In the past, if this type of heresy appeared, as long as the Zerg Queen did not have a male Zerg King by her side, after challenging and suppressing the other Zerglings and confirming that no one could defeat her, she would differentiate into a male Zerg King.
If Caesar waits until this point and Anunu is not accompanied by the male insect king, and all his characteristics are revealed, after identification, he will be classified as the second type of heretic, and Sevier and the others will give him this opportunity.
However, Sitar arrived at just the right time.
This situation is a bit tricky. If Caesar chooses to challenge Sitar, he can't replace Sitar if he wins, and he will die if he loses.
Unless, of course, Caesar is willing to maintain the status quo.
But this is difficult to achieve. His ambition will continue to grow, and he will desperately crave to become the King of Insects. His fighting instincts will drive him to constantly challenge Anunu's retinue and the King of Insects.
He is able to restrain himself now because he has already challenged Anunu's retinue and knows that their strength is below his.
So now he only has Sitar as his challenger.
Feixing told Anno about this not-too-bad result and also gave Caesar a hint.
If he doesn't warn Caesar, Caesar will choose to end his own life after tonight to prevent Anunu from being threatened by heretics.
Given the current situation, the best outcome for Caesar in losing is that Sithal is still willing to let him go.
But which male insect king would let go of someone who covets their position?
That's a position alongside the Queen. If it were him, and an outsider challenged his place next to the Wind Spirit, he would kill the challenger.
Fei Xing found all the past examples of this kind of heresy, including those who challenged the male insect king, and without exception, they all failed.
The reason why the male insect king is the male insect king is that it has already been paired with the little queen insect before it was born, and its energy and physical condition are the strongest.
The male insect king that differentiated later can only be described as an error in the insectoid gene sequence. Even the most sophisticated system has bugs, let alone such a large group as theirs.
Thinking about how Sitar is also a rather special male insect king, it can be said that he was directly parachuted from ancient times to the present. Anunu is also the only glowing insect king in history, and he has experienced a special period of time. In addition, with the characteristics of Caesar, there are no normal insect kings in this generation.
Fei Xing was somewhat taken aback. If Feng Ling were still conscious, he could tell her this and they could have a good laugh together.
It wasn't that he was optimistic, but rather that he believed Anunu might not be so difficult to handle.
