Chapter 472: Her Significance
[Today's StarCraft News]
"The Romira system sent an advance fleet to the Lyca system, crossed the Zerg front line, was annihilated by the Zerg, and was warned that the Zerg would unconditionally annihilate any war that deliberately seizes resources and violates the interstellar peace treaty."
"The new governor of the Leica system issued a statement to the Interstellar Alliance, pledging not to invade any civilization and signing an interstellar peace treaty..."
[Amazing News Star has gathered all sorts of interesting and surprising things from the universe for you today]
"Ancient Earth established a federal government, which has now been officially renamed New Earth. New Earth submitted an application to join the Interstellar Alliance, but after review, the New Earth civilization did not meet the standards for joining the Alliance, and the application was rejected."
"Recently, the Zerg launched a new currency trading system on Skynet and opened an energy trading channel. The channel is in the trial phase and the number of trading slots is limited. Star systems are scrambling to reserve slots."
"The new Alliance Tournament will begin in the Landno system. Registration is now open online. There are no restrictions on talent and the rewards are plentiful. We encourage everyone to register."
"A large number of Electro Beasts have been discovered in the recent space routes of the Tianyun Galaxy, which has affected people's travel. The specific cause is still under investigation by the Tianyun authorities."
"......."
"Nono, there have been some problems with the Tianyun route recently. I was originally thinking of having you come over, but it's better if you come over after the route stabilizes."
In front of Anno was a projection of Anaya's communication screen. Since returning from Lyca, she had been staying in the palace, and friends from all sides had been calling her, wanting to invite her to their places.
However, she declined all offers. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out; after the incident with Leica, she wanted to calm down, as she still felt a lingering sadness in her heart.
Perhaps it was for Fei, perhaps for Lingjiu and the others, or perhaps for Xi.
She hasn't seen Sitar and Caesar since she returned. On the surface, her mother wants them to rest, but in reality, she's temporarily separating them from her to deal with the matter of the two male insect kings.
Anno had been keeping a close eye on the situation in Lyca. Fei Jue had won his political battle with Caius and successfully assumed the position of Lyca's chief executive.
As for Xi, she had not heard any news about him.
His mother didn't kill him that day. He might have been obsessed with his mother, but more than that, he would never give up his ambition. It's just that he had been in Tianzhi City and Xi for so long, yet he still didn't understand Xi at all.
She didn't know which one was Xi's true self. She was like the last guardian of Lyca in the past. Now that Lyca had entered a new era, she was about to disappear.
No matter how much she thinks now, it will be difficult for Xi to appear in her sight in the future.
After chatting with Anaiya for a while, Anno hung up the call and curled up on the sofa to read. The fireplace flames continued to burn, and the palace was very quiet, with only the sound of her turning the pages of her book being heard.
At her feet, Bao Bao and two other mutated furry creatures were sleeping on the ground.
Not long after she returned, her family brought Xun back. Xun was very happy to see Bao Bao, who looked just like her. The two furry creatures had only known each other for a short time, but they had already become very close and were inseparable.
Now, only the two Mao Mao are with her in the palace. All the other family members have been sent away by Anuo. Except when she sits with her father and mother at mealtimes, Anuo wants to be alone at other times.
Her family members knew she was in a bad mood, so they didn't disturb her and just kept an eye on her.
Anno flipped through a few pages of the book but couldn't continue reading. He put the book aside and stared at the flames for a long time.
She wasn't thinking about anything, and her mood was very calm; she was simply staring blankly at the flames.
Xun and Baobao's snoring brought her back to her senses. She turned on her personal terminal and opened her contact list. There were many friends on the list, and they had sent her quite a few messages. As she looked through them, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
After reading the message, she felt a strange sense of melancholy.
She lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and tried to sleep, but the sadness in her heart welled up without her realizing it, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She hugged a cushion, curled up, and a series of images kept flashing through her mind.
"Fei, I will take you home."
"My name is Fei, Your Highness. Don't be sad for me."
Anno buried her face in the cushion. Fei... she couldn't bring Fei back.
He only remembered his own name and that she was his princess. But when he died, she learned that even his most important outer armor had been stripped away. She knew nothing about what he had experienced in the past or why he had become like this.
As a Zerg, he left his race, lost his exoskeleton, and never managed to reconnect to the Zerg consciousness network until his death; his past was buried.
This scandal is so similar to her past self.
He was not a heretic; he never harmed her. He was simply deprived of his consciousness and had been away from home for too long.
A star-tailed butterfly quietly entered the palace. After circling in front of Anno a few times, it landed on Anno's hand.
After a while, Anuo lifted her head from the pillow, revealing a face covered in tears.
The star-tailed butterfly paused on her face for a moment, then flew off onto the balcony.
Anno paused for a moment, then got up and followed.
As soon as she moved, Xun and Baobao woke up from their sleep and followed her, still not fully awake.
Seeing that Anno was about to leave, they immediately grew larger and carried Anno towards the temple.
Outside the palace, Sevier and Augsis watched Anno's retreating figure, their eyes filled with worry and heartache.
Sevier sighed and said, "I hope Mother can make Anunu happy."
Augsis put his arm around her and said, "Anunu is sensitive and delicate, much like the Wind Spirit Queen."
Sevier gripped Augsis's hand tightly. "Yes, that's why I'm even more worried. Back then, the Wind Spirit Queen was heartbroken and often saddened because her followers left her one by one. If it weren't for my mother, she would have had a hard time getting through it."
That's why Severus temporarily imprisoned Sitar and Caesar in the Abyss.
Once Anunu has calmed down, they will work with her to deal with their issues.
Augsis said, "I'll take Anunu out for a walk in a couple of days."
Guided by the Star-tailed Butterfly, Anunu arrived at the temple.
Looking at the empty and desolate temple, Anunu plopped down on the steps outside the temple, gazing at the twinkling stars and glowing creatures around it.
A tall figure emerged from the temple and sat down beside her.
Darklight reached out and embraced Anunu, stroking her head as he said, "It seems Anunu has gained a lot from this trip."
Anunu didn't speak, but lay on her knees.
After a long silence, Anunu finally said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little scared."
The dim light stroked her hair, and the usually serious expression softened as he looked at her. "What are you afraid of?"
Anunu said, "I'm afraid of growing up, afraid of separation, afraid of the long life."
She thought that she had been through so much in the past, that she was psychologically mature enough, that she had no childhood at all, and that she had grown up long ago.
But after experiencing one event after another, she realized that people never stop growing up.
As long as we live, we will continue to experience and grow, just like a canvas that is constantly being painted with new things and filled with new content. As we grow, our mindset will also change.
She also discovered that she couldn't accept separation, so when she entered the tower in Midu, she was deceived and influenced by Mo's illusions.
She was also afraid of her own weakness.
As an overlord, having experienced the events involving Sital and Caesar, she came to realize her own weakness.
She couldn't be as cold and decisive as her mother, nor as ruthless as the Darklight Queen. For the sake of the Zerg, she could suppress her emotions for a lifetime, never revealing a trace even in death.
How can someone like her lead the Zerg? She cannot live under her parents' protection forever.
The Dark Light Queen looked at her with affection, "No one is perfect, and it is precisely because you are like this that you are Anunu."
Anno straightened up and looked at her, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt. "Your Majesty, I don't understand."
An Guang said, “Just like your mother, she was stubborn and difficult to discipline when she was young. No matter how much you beat her, she wouldn’t obey. Later, she became smarter and outwardly obeyed, but she would still disobey me behind my back. If she got angry, she would run away.”
She stroked Anuo's head and sighed, "Unlike you, so well-behaved and adorable. If you were my daughter, I would flatten the entire interstellar space while I'm still alive, and give you the most peaceful era."
Anno was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she said, "Your Majesty, if my mother knew what you said, she would be heartbroken."
Dark Light smiled and said, "She won't. Your mother is actually the same as you in some ways. She often tells me that she feels guilty towards you and that she is an unqualified mother. How could she not feel guilty if you were my daughter?"
At this point, a rare hint of melancholy appeared in An Guang's expression. "I once thought about giving my mother the best of times, but she was destined not to live to see it."
The Wind Spirit Queen is a regret that will forever remain in Darklight's heart.
From the Wind Spirit Queen to Sevier, everything these three queens fought for the Zerg is now going to fall into Anno's hands.
Anno was afraid that she wouldn't be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
Darklight clearly understood Anno's concerns and fears. She hugged her and kissed her little face, saying, "All of this we've done is so that you can live in peace, Anunu. You'll understand in the future that every Zerg Queen has her own significance."
Anno nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Darklight led her into the temple. "Anunu, you are still young and have a long road ahead of you. Along the way, your mother and every member of the Zerg will accompany you. No matter what you are like, you are the most important person to us."
Anno watched as Darklight's large hand enveloped hers, radiating a warm energy. Her heart gradually calmed down. She looked up at Darklight and asked, "Your Majesty, may I see Scarlet?"
"Of course, come on."
