Chapter 423: Facing Reality
Since he broke away from his original self and gained independent consciousness, he has gained a profound understanding of the Zerg race.
One Overlord equals one Zerg. All its subordinates can die, but the Overlord cannot.
But they lost such an important little queen beetle.
He hadn't expected that Little Queen Insect would be like her. No wonder the main body's obsession with her was so deep. He cut his spiritual body into countless pieces, creating clones. Compared to his body being cut into pieces, it was hard to say whose pain was greater.
He hates the main body, hates that it created him, hates that he is just a substitute, and hates even more that it wants to destroy him, which is why he wants to kill the main body.
"What is that city up there? Why are there so many guards?"
Anno's voice brought him back to his senses. He looked in the direction Anno was pointing and saw the city floating in mid-air. He said, "That's Star City, also known as the Killing City. You can get anything you want there, but if you don't have the strength, going there is just suicide."
"Have you been there?" Anno asked.
“I’ve been there.” Ling Jiu put his arm around Anuo and sat down. “I used to be one of them, but I was just a tool in their hands. Only those who could defeat me could get what they wanted.”
"Beat you?" Anno smiled. "I doubt many people can beat you. It seems getting what you want isn't so easy."
"Indeed, there are very few people who can beat me. They can't kill me; as long as they can hurt me, they win."
After hearing this, Anno thought of what he had said before about the body having a sense of sensation, and asked, "When you're fighting, you block out the feeling of pain, right?"
Ling Jiu wanted to say no, but then he saw Anuo extend her spine whip and wrap it around his wrist. Her light blue eyes reflected his figure. "Ling Jiu, don't hide it from me, don't lie to me. I'm not a child anymore. I've been through the same things as you. I don't want you to treat me like a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse. I am the future Zerg Queen, and I should be brave enough to face the truth."
Ling Jiu's gaze fell on the spine whip on his wrist. He could sense that Anuo's consciousness wanted to connect with him. She had suffered enough in the past and shouldn't have to bear his suffering as well.
He held her whip in his hand. "Back then, I didn't have control over my body. They wouldn't allow me to block out pain. On the contrary, they wanted to amplify it. Only in this way could they ignite my killing intent and fighting spirit. If I lost, I would face pain several times greater than the wounds."
Seeing the heartache in Anuo's eyes, Lingjiu calmed down and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "I have killed them all. Now no one can control me."
Anno's feelings were complicated. The current Zero Nine and Caesar's consciousness were independent, but he was indeed Caesar's clone. This clone wanted to kill Caesar, and she couldn't tell whether he was Caesar or not.
Long ago, his consciousness was definitely Caesar. It was probably after he was turned into a mechanical being that the excessive suffering caused his consciousness to separate and become independent.
She can't leave this place for the time being, so she can only stay with Ling Jiu and see how he gets to know her. If his consciousness can't be reunited with Caesar's, then she can only let him choose his own path in life.
Anno didn't wake up until noon the next day. As soon as she woke up, she saw Sitar lying next to her, looking at her. She laughed and pounced on Sitar, rubbing his face vigorously. "My little Tata, you're so cute! Let Her Majesty the Queen give you a couple of kisses!"
As she spoke, she cupped his face and kissed him twice. Sital's eyes were watery, and his face turned red from the kisses.
“I want to kiss you back.” With that, Sitar was about to kiss her on the face, but before he could, Anno was lifted up from behind by Zero Nine.
"I bought you some food. Go wash your faces and eat."
Sitar tried to grab Anno, but Zero Nine picked him up with his other hand, and the two little cubs were carried into the bathroom like that.
Mingxiao was preparing food in the living room. He peeked in and was relieved to see that Lingjiu was taking good care of the two of them.
Lingjiu squeezed toothpaste onto the newly bought electric toothbrush, put it in the mouths of the two little king worms, and then washed their faces.
Anno watched as Sitar was being vigorously wiped on the face by Zero Nine, who was holding his chin. Sitar resisted Zero Nine while grabbing his own toothbrush, saying, "I can do it myself!"
She couldn't help but chuckle. If the Sital Core were unlocked and she found out she was being treated like this, she'd probably hide herself away for a while.
He always appears calm on the surface, but who knows how shy he is inside.
After washing up, Ling Jiu brought the two of them to the dining table and sat them down. Sitar's face was flushed from Ling Jiu's washing. He had a serious expression on his face and pushed his chair next to Anuo, sitting close to her.
Anno chuckled and pinched his cheek: "Are you angry?"
Sital: "No."
After saying that, he took the knife and forcefully chopped the fried meat on the plate, cutting it up along with the plate.
