Chapter 257: Energy Monitoring
Seeing her distress, Brightman softened his voice, "I will stay with you. After this period, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."
A cold glint flashed in Anno's eyes as he said, word by word, "I just want to go home."
After saying that, she grabbed the tablecloth and yanked it upwards, lifting the tablecloth and food utensils into the air. She stepped on the table, passed under the tablecloth, and stabbed at Brightman with a knife in her hand.
Brightman remained motionless, and the guards behind him appeared one after another, wanting to step forward to protect him.
Anno's knife tip was already touching Brightman's neck; with just a little more force, Anno could pierce his neck.
But she couldn't move her body.
Brightman stared intently into her dark eyes. "Do you really want to kill me?"
She didn't even hesitate.
Anno: "We are enemies."
She never showed any mercy to her enemies.
A hand reached out from behind Brightman and took the knife from Anno's hand.
“Bryman, I told you, she won’t just sit around and have a meal with you.”
Anno looked up and saw Dennis.
She knew she couldn't kill Brightman or do anything to him; she just wanted Dennis to appear.
She wanted to see Sitar, at least to know that he was safe.
In the past, even if her core was extracted from the Northern River system, there were ways to extract Sitael as well; this was the worst-case scenario she could imagine.
She absolutely cannot let this happen to Sitar again.
Anno said coldly to Dennis, "You guys were behind the Bloodstone, weren't you?"
Dennis smiled. "You're very clever, little queen beetle."
Anno's mind raced. The Bloodstone gravity field spread throughout the entire interstellar space. If it was Dennis who set it up, and he has now escaped from prison and reappeared here, then during the time Brightman was missing, he possessed even stronger abilities than before.
So all of this was something Dennis and his team had planned in advance.
Is Dennis seeking revenge against the Zerg?
No, he's targeting the entire interstellar space.
Does he want to take revenge on everyone, or does he want to obtain supreme power?
Anno's gaze swept between him and Brightman, and she felt it was the latter.
If Dennis succeeds, he can retaliate however he wants.
"Take the little king beetle back."
Dennis addressed Diane and the others, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Just as Dain was about to step forward, Brightman removed the power from Anno's body. Anno, who had been supporting herself on the edge of the table, lost her balance and fell forward into Brightman's arms as the power was removed.
She rested one hand on his shoulder, pursed her lips, turned her face away in disgust, threw away his hand that was supporting her, and got out of his arms.
"Your Highness, please come with me."
Daisy quickly stepped forward, wanting to lead Anno away from here as soon as possible.
After Anno stopped, she looked back and then left with Daisy and the others.
Dennis watched Anno's departing figure, placing his hand on the back of Brightman's chair. "Brightman, I can make her more obedient if you want."
Upon hearing this, Brightman's expression changed. "You can't touch her."
Dennis: "You know, she won't love you. The Zerg will never love an outsider."
"Besides, she already has a baby male king."
Brightman removed a thumb-sized transparent crystal from his shoulder. "Soon, he won't be here anymore."
Dennis sighed, placed his hand on Brightman's head and ruffled it. "Don't worry, Brightman, whatever you want, I'll get it for you."
"Once I extract the core of the little male queen, both the core and Aloo will be yours. With this core, she will transfer the little queen's love to you."
Anno stopped in her tracks in the corridor.
Daiyin asked softly, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Anno took a deep breath, suppressing the look in her eyes. "It's nothing, let's go."
Daiyin lowered her head and continued walking forward with Anuo. Anuo casually stroked her long hair and took a small piece of energy ore that was behind her ear into her hand. The energy ore dissipated in her hand, turning into energy that also dissipated in her hand.
As expected, they wanted to take the core of Sitar.
Diane led Anno to another room, which was decorated very warmly and had some electronic devices.
Anno turned on an electronic device, similar in function to a computer, but offline. It contained many games, music, and movies, but it couldn't access the internet.
She tossed the instrument aside and lay down on the sofa.
"Your Highness, are you tired? The water in the bathroom is ready, you can go and wash up at any time."
Anno: "You can go now. I'm fine on my own."
Daiyin waved the other girls away and stood in the corner herself. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will not disturb you unless Your Highness gives the order."
Anno: "..."
She placed her hand on her forehead, thinking about how to get out of this place.
She is very worried about Sitar now; she cannot imagine his core being removed and then implanted in someone else.
Just thinking about it makes her so angry she trembles.
Thinking of this, she opened her eyes and scanned the room; there were no windows.
There must be a camera in this room.
To verify this hypothesis, she called to Dain, "Come and help me take off my clothes, I want to take a bath."
Daisy came forward, wanting to take her to the bathroom.
Anno stood there, preoccupied with untying the ribbons of her skirt.
Daiyin grabbed Anno's hand, her voice slightly flustered: "Your Highness, you can't take it off here."
Anno: "Why? Isn't this my room?"
Daiyin paused for a moment, but still told her, "There are surveillance cameras in the room, Your Highness, please go to the bathroom to take off your clothes."
Anno stopped what she was doing and followed Daisy into the bathroom.
After a while, Anno soaked in the bathtub and condensed a crystal-clear energy ore from his palm.
Fortunately, she has a lot of energy in her body, which can be condensed into ore and placed anywhere. Within a certain range of the ore, she can use it as a monitor to see and hear what is happening around her in her consciousness.
She placed energy on the knife, which then flowed down to Dennis's body.
She closed her eyes, sank into her consciousness, and used her energy to sense the energy ore attached to him.
Images and sounds appeared in her mind.
It looked like a laboratory, with various experimental instruments and familiar petri dish equipment. Many staff members were busy in this huge laboratory.
I didn't see Sitar, nor did I sense his abilities.
"Leader, his core is different from the previous Little King Worm's; we need more time to analyze it."
"Different? How are they different?"
Jeff, a staff member, showed Dennis a report.
"This is the core data of the former Little Queen Insect Aloo, and this is the core data of the Little Male Insect King Sitar. The way the energy is generated is somewhat different from that of Aloo. We cannot operate it in the same way as we used to extract Aloo's core. It is very likely that the core will be extinguished after it is extracted."
Dennis glanced at the report and frowned: "Didn't you say the Zerg core is basically the same?"
Jeff said, "It's the same. The Zerg value inheritance, especially among the Overlords. The Queen and the King are naturally compatible. The King is born specifically to match the Queen. The core is their most important thing, which is compatibility. This is what generates greater energy and the Overlord effect, allowing the entire Zerg to prosper."
Dennis: "If that's the case, why is this little male insect king different?"
Jeff wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "We still need to analyze his core energy and genes. The Zerg genes seem simple, but the foundation that makes up the genes is very complex, just like the foundation of a house. The Zerg's genetic foundation is very solid."
They had prepared in advance when they removed Aloo's core. They were able to remove her core safely because they had the core of the former Fire Seed King that had been extinguished as a container and energy stabilizer.
They initially thought that with Aloo's experience, they could easily remove the core of the little male insect king, but it turned out that his core did not react with any energy to the container they had prepared. This meant that even if they could remove it, they would not be able to preserve the core.
When Anno heard that they were preparing to take the core of Sital, he gripped the edge of the bathtub tightly.
"Hurry up, I can't wait much longer."
Dennis gave Jeff a few more days and walked toward the lab.
