The four Void Crystals were destroyed.
The portal has lost its power supply.
The black light that was originally emanating from it dimmed.
The hybrid monsters that were passing through it exploded and died.
"The swarm is invincible!"
Su Bai's lips curled up into a smile.
"Lord Su, the Void Gate has finally closed."
Lee Eun-jung patted her ample chest and smiled.
Artanis led the High Templars to the closed Void Gate.
His face was beaming with excitement, and his voice was booming.
“My friend Su Bai, we have achieved victory together this time.”
"From now on, as long as we work together, we will surely be able to resist the dark tide brought by Amon."
Su Bai nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
He said, "Yes, Archbishop, as long as we unite, we will surely defeat the enemy!"
Artanis surveyed the surrounding Zerg and the human wraith forces under Tosh's command, and said, "Today's battle is worth remembering. With the three races joining forces, we were able to defeat Amon and send him back to the Void."
"The situation is now dire."
“My people are being devoured, their flesh and blood are being made into hybrid bodies.”
"I can't wait any longer."
"We must use every means at our disposal to defeat Eamon as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai's expression darkened slightly.
He knew perfectly well that he needed to defeat Eamon as soon as possible.
However.
Amon possesses divine power; defeating him would be incredibly difficult.
With heavy hearts, everyone returned to Leviathan.
I just got back.
The red-eyed Protoss Alarak came forward to greet him.
"Su Bai, Artanis, Queen of Blades, your names are legendary, and today I finally get to see you in person."
"Let me formally introduce myself."
His voice rose.
"I am—Alarak!"
"The first Taldarim member to be promoted!"
Su Bai and his group already knew the Taldarim Protoss's motives for arriving.
Therefore, I wasn't too surprised at the moment.
Only Artanis truly understands the Taldarim.
A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. "I know your true nature. You didn't come here to save us! Tell me your purpose!"
Alarak's voice was low and deep, tinged with anger.
"Our god has gone back on his word, deceived and betrayed us. Therefore, I will seek revenge!"
"The Taldarim's death fleet is now gathering, preparing for a full-scale invasion."
"To stop this, we must join forces."
These words were spoken.
A look of shock appeared in everyone's eyes.
I had previously heard Artanis say that the Taldarim's Death Fleet was incredibly powerful.
If they join forces with the hybrid to launch an attack on various star systems within the sector, then things could get complicated.
“The Death Fleet signifies that one day, this fleet will follow the will of the gods and bring death to the entire galaxy.” Artanis’s voice was low and somber. “Right now, I only have one Spear of Adun, which is no match for it.”
Su Bai turned his head. "Alarak, since you've come to us of your own accord, you must have a solution, right?"
"I just enjoy dealing with smart people."
Alarak smiled slightly.
Then, his gaze sharpened.
“Help me create an opportunity to challenge the ruling power and help me succeed as the High Lord of Taldarim.”
"In return, I will make sure the Taldarim Protoss no longer see you as enemies."
"This deal is a great one, isn't it?"
Su Bai lowered his gaze slightly and immediately said, "Alright! It's a deal!"
Today, hybrids have become a major force.
If we add a Taldarim Protoss, they could serve as Amon's weapon in his conquest of the sector.
Then the pressure on the insect swarm will increase exponentially.
Therefore, cooperating with Alarak is the best option.
After making the decision.
Leviathan and the Spear of Adun have left the Temple of Urna.
Artanis remained in the bridge chamber of Leviathan.
He looked at Su Bai, "Things have progressed completely unexpectedly. I intended to awaken the Xel'Naga in the temple and seek their help, but I almost fell into Amon's trap."
“It’s hard to believe that all the Xel’Naga in the temple are dead,” Su Bai said.
“I’m having trouble understanding Zeratul’s language.” Artanis said, sounding somewhat dejected.
Su Bai comforted him, "If the Xel'Naga were still alive, they would definitely help us. Zeratul's prophecy was not wrong."
"But—life is unpredictable."
"It is highly likely that some deviations have occurred."
...
...
Three days later.
Planet Slaine.
Leviathan and the Spear of Adun leaped forth.
"Slayn, the home planet of the Taldarim, we've finally arrived!"
Su Bai narrowed his eyes, standing in the bridge chamber, gazing at the pale purple planet in front of him.
A massive fleet is hovering on a high-altitude orbital platform on the planet.
"Look, that's the Death Fleet."
Alarak's voice was low and somber. "They are following Amon's orders and are preparing to destroy all life in the Koprulu Sector."
Zhao Ganwu brandished his fist. "We'd better act immediately and take them out."
"Gan Wu, we can't force it."
Su Bai shook his head.
He looked at Alarak: "You said earlier that you wanted our help to become a high lord of Taldarim. What do you need to do?"
“A challenge ritual called ‘Lakshiel’ needs to be performed.”
Alarak slowly replied, "This kind of battle for power through martial prowess must not be rushed."
"This ceremony needs careful preparation in order to convince them."
Su Bai nodded slightly.
His gaze lingered on the fleet of death ahead.
“Alarak, I hope you can help me in the future to fight against Amon.”
Alarak nodded. "Emon is my enemy now, but I will help you."
At this moment, Artanis arrived at the bridge chamber of Leviathan.
He speaks very quickly.
"The ruler of Taldarim is a high-ranking lord named 'Marash'."
"He was ruthless and calculating, and eliminated all his enemies through cruel means."
"Anyone who dares to challenge Marash will be made to wish they were dead by him."
"Alarak, what do you plan to do?"
Alarak brandished the sharp blade in his hand.
"I will do whatever it takes to depose Marash and bring the Tadarin under my control. But I need your help."
"Marash is single-mindedly killing to fulfill God's vision, hence the title 'Blade of Amon'."
"To take his place, the traditional Lakshir ceremony must be performed."
Immediately afterwards.
Alarak explained to the crowd.
According to the laws of the Taldarin ancestors, certain preparations must be completed before launching a Lakshir challenge.
But now, Marash is protected by powerful guardians of Tal'darim.
Before the Lakshir ritual begins, these guardians will assist Marash.
Therefore, these guardians must be eliminated before the ritual begins in Alarak.
"It's time to act!"
Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Let's discuss it briefly.
Artanis led the Protoss forces aboard the Spear of Adun to draw the attention of the Death Fleet.
Leviathan landed on the surface of the planet Slaane from another direction.
soon.
The planned objectives have been achieved.
Su Bai and the swarm of insects arrived on the ground.
At this moment, purple mist is swirling within some cracks on the planet's surface.
A hybrid of Emon's minions emerged from it.
When the fog dissipates, the mixture will stop emerging.
"Another tough battle is coming!"
Zhao Ganwu was eager to get started.
"The Ghost Forces are ready to deploy at any time!"
Tosh held the electromagnetic rifle, his eyes burning with intensity.
"The swarm is fearless!"
A glint of light danced in Kerrigan's eyes.
Su Bai sat atop the King Beast's head, surveying the surrounding insectoid forces.
He gave the order: "Defend against the hybrid's attack when the fog erupts."
"When the fog clears, launch another attack and kill the enemies guarding Marash."
A major battle.
This led to the outbreak.
Although some casualties were suffered, fortunately, it did not take too long, and all the guardians were killed.
"Well done!"
Alarak came to Su Bai's side. "Just now, I completed all the preparations."
"The ceremony may begin."
Under the watchful eyes of Su Bai and his entourage, Alarak moved and arrived in front of a huge palace.
He shouted:
"High Lord, I am Alarak, the first person in Tal'darim to be promoted."
"Listen!"
"I demand that the Lakshir ceremony be performed!"
"Accept my challenge, or die a coward!"
The sound faded.
A Protoss emanating a powerful aura appeared.
It was none other than the high-ranking lord, Marash.
"Let's settle this at dawn tomorrow!"
...
...
the next day.
dawn.
"Deep down, I crave the blood of Marash."
"Now is my time for promotion."
"The Lakshir ceremony begins!"
Alarak's gaze was firm, and his voice carried a hint of murderous intent.
The ceremony begins.
He is engaged in a one-on-one confrontation with the high-ranking lord, Marash.
The psionic energy surged forth and collided.
It caused ripples to appear in the surrounding air.
“Now, they are evenly matched,” Su Bai said from a distance.
"One side must completely overwhelm the other in strength, until the other is cast into the abyss of sacrifice, before the Lakshir ritual is considered complete." Artanis stood aside, watching the two Protoss beings fighting in front of him.
He added, "The victor will become the new leader of the Taldarim, while the loser will be doomed."
Behind Alarak and High Lord Marash, there is a dark red abyss.
It was bottomless and terrifying.
Once you fall in, you will die without a burial place.
"The Lakshir ritual allows the supporters of the duelists to provide psionic supplies."
“Our soldiers need to support Alarak against the Tadarin forces supporting Marash.”
"Whether we succeed or not depends on us!"
Su Bai spoke rapidly to everyone.
Next.
The Zerg swarm and Artanis's Protoss forces launched a joint attack.
"Everyone, give it your all and fight with all your might. If we can turn the Taldarim into allies, then their death fleet can be used by us."
Standing atop the beast king's head, Su Bai issued the order to his subordinates: "Attack! Slaughter all of Marash's supporters!"
"Boss, watch this!" Zhao Ganwu drove the Odin mech, rampaging through the crowd.
Kerrigan, Dehaka, Zerg Queen Zagara, Zerg Queen Naktur, and Zerg Queen Niyadera led the Zerg army, charging into battle on the front lines.
Li Enzhen, Tosh, An Ruoyun, Zhao Xiangtian, and Bai Mengyu led another swarm of insects to launch an attack on the enemy.
Artanis's Protoss forces were also the main force in this battle.
Both sides joined forces and continued their offensive.
Marash gradually lost ground and was forced to retreat.
Twenty minutes later.
Marash had nowhere left to retreat.
They fell into the abyss of sacrifice.
"Taldarim!"
Alarak looked around. "The outcome of the Lakshir ceremony is decided."
"Now, I am a high-ranking lord."
"You need to obey my orders."
He raised his voice.
"Eamon deceived us."
There was no such thing as a promotion.
"For so many years, we have been used by Eamon."
"Now, he has to pay the price for this."
A group of Taldarim Protoss surrounded Alarak.
Clearly, he has gained recognition.
A new ruler of Taldarim was born.
"We finally succeeded."
Su Bai said with a sigh, "In this way, we will have another advantage when facing Eamon."
That night.
Everyone gathered together.
“The Tal'darim have submitted to me, and the Death Fleet now obeys my commands.” Alarak’s face hardened with murderous intent. “I will use them to avenge Amon’s deception!”
"Now that we have gathered the strength of the Zerg, Protoss, and Human races, our power has grown considerably." Su Bai looked around at everyone: "But Amon's army should not be underestimated."
"We must weaken his army before launching an operation against Emon."
Hybrids are not created out of thin air.
Instead, they were manufactured by Amon's servants in secret laboratories and production facilities.
To weaken Emon, these laboratories and production facilities must be destroyed.
Otherwise, before even seeing Amon, they would be overwhelmed by endless hybrid monsters.
“Su Bai, you’re right!”
Artanis nodded. "Next, you will be the commander-in-chief, leading the forces of the three races to wipe out the hybrid breeding facilities."
...
...
One month later.
The hybrid breeding facilities of Emon in the Koprulu Sector have almost all been reduced to ashes.
On Earth, Guo Jing delivers a message.
The offensive, described as a hybrid, suddenly weakened.
Su Bai understood that this was because the actions taken over the past month had been effective.
