World Four
Unlike Eisman, Arisa wasn't interested in Wilson's combat prowess. As the male Zergling who had been brought aboard the pirate ship by Wilson despite the Federation's heavy firepower, he knew better than anyone just how terrifying the silver-haired female Zergling's combat prowess was.
But when he saw Wilson crushing the female insects that challenged him with overwhelming force every time, he did become interested again.
And when he heard Wilson's inner voice, "Is he looking at me?" and noticed that Wilson subconsciously turned his head to look at him while thinking about these things, Arisa's interest gradually began to ferment.
Did Wilson close his spiritual sea just because he wanted him to see these?
Because he couldn't open his mouth, so he chose to let him see clearly in his spiritual sea?
If it were a soft-hearted male insect, after seeing this, he would probably be moved beyond words, right? But I am different.
Arisa walked to Wilson's side and waved to him gently.
Wilson's opponent lay in a pool of blood, and the sub-females in charge of treatment were struggling to lift the female insect up. The tall, silver-haired female insect didn't hesitate and squatted directly in the direction of the black-haired male insect.
...But if he could be easily shaken by these things, he would not be an 'alien' in the eyes of those male insects.
"I'm watching you," Arisa whispered to Wilson, "but I'm only interested in the strongest female insects."
There are only a handful of male insects who can enter the military academy, but female insects are different. Even if they are of low level, as long as they have the most basic physical fitness, they can enter the military academy.
High-level female insects are indeed rare in the military academy, but there are also some who can compete with Wilson.
Wilson looked at Arisa, and the two tightly closed golden pupils under his eyes slowly opened. At this moment, the female insect finally expressed his arrogant thoughts in her usual calm tone: "—I am."
When Arisa thought he would remain silent or be disappointed with himself because of this sentence, Wilson only said these three words.
- That's me.
The unexpected answer made Arisa blink. He looked at the strange yet familiar female insect in front of him and laughed out loud: He was now becoming more and more curious about why Wilson kidnapped him on the battlefield.
Wilson looked at Arisa. Even though he didn't understand why Arisa laughed out loud at his words, he still felt... very happy.
He liked the way Arisa laughed, whether it was happy or mocking.
Arisa, who was smiling, was just thinking in her heart at this time: If the final answer can satisfy him like the three words Wilson just said, he can also consider not breaking the other party's bone wings.
In the later stages of the competition, fewer and fewer female insects came on stage to challenge, and those female insects that were originally eager to try began to become timid.
The Zerg are a race that pursues power, but they not only pursue powerful strength, they also like to follow their own instincts, so they are more likely to challenge the Zerg who display powerful strength.
But if you find that the other party is an insurmountable mountain, the desire to challenge will quickly die out.
The match ended with Wilson winning by a landslide.
But this time, unlike what she heard from other Zerg, Arisa watched the game end with her own eyes.
As a conscious being in the female insect's spiritual sea, Eisman's expression changed from the initial 'Humph, nothing special' to 'fear'.
Finally, Eisman grabbed Arisa's arm and whispered, "Arisa, are you still planning to take him as your queen?"
Arisa shifted her gaze from Wilson to Eisman: "What do you mean by that?"
He could have simply answered that he didn't plan to, because no matter what the answer was, it was true that Wilson kidnapped him without saying goodbye, and the mechanical lock that had been around his neck was also real.
But at the moment when she looked at Eisman, Arisa suddenly thought of something: this is Wilson's spiritual sea.
Does that mean that the question Eisman is asking himself now is also the question Wilson is curious about?
"Uh..." Eiseman, not quite sure why Arisa asked him this question, thought for a while before finding his voice again.
The blond male stared at the female on the stage, who was already looking at him, and spoke an entire sentence incredibly quickly: "Because he's too fierce, and there's not even a single female in the military academy who can stand up to him. You should know what this means, right?"
The meaning of Eisman's words was obvious, but Arisa still chose not to answer directly. He only said: "This means Wilson is very powerful."
"That's not what I meant. Being strong doesn't mean you can eat it!" Eiseman immediately retorted loudly, then lowered his voice a second later, "Besides, how do you know if he won't rebel against you after you take him as your queen and stop you from bringing other females home?"
- I didn't want so many female insects in the first place.
Arisa didn't know how to respond to Eisman's question.
He didn't have that kind of feeling towards Wilson, and the reason why he said to Wilson, "If you have many merits, I can consider letting you be my queen," was simply because Wilson directly expressed his desire to be his queen, and he happened to have no aversion to Wilson.
Arisa subconsciously looked at Wilson on the stage.
The reason was simple. While Wilson was thinking about how to respond to Eisman's question, his inner voice was becoming more and more crazy.
'I'm going to kill him.'
"I must kill this bastard."
But when he looked at Arisa, Wilson remained calm and composed.
...He could hear Wilson's inner thoughts in his mind. This must be very refreshing for Wilson, who usually doesn't talk much, right?
Even though the other party had to wait until she left the spiritual sea to obtain the memories of this place, Arisa couldn't help but feel a little jealous at this moment.
He was jealous that Wilson could express his truest thoughts in his mind, but he himself could not.
...Wait, this is Wilson's spiritual sea...
Arisa suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.
This is the spiritual sea of the female Zerg. The Zerg that appear here are all conscious entities created by the female Zerg based on their image and usual performance in reality. They are not real Zerg with their own thoughts.
In other words, he can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants here.
"I didn't choose him because of his strength," Arisa said to Eisman, "I chose him because of his loyalty."
"Isn't loyalty a female insect's instinct towards a male insect?" Eiseman was stunned. "Can this also be a plus point for him?"
"Then why isn't he loyal to you?" Arisa asked back, "Why isn't he loyal to Gayel?"
He was initially interested in Wilson, the female insect, because she would not give in to him in the competition just because she was a male insect. Later, he took a fancy to her because she did not try every possible way to seduce him like other female insects.
Even when he was trying his best to improve his physical and mental strength, Wilson would not say something like "It's okay not to work so hard" like other Zerg people did to spoil the mood.
"Of course, that's because that idiot Gayel and I are both low-level..." Eiseman said this in a matter-of-fact tone. "He's a female insect with obvious violent tendencies, so he should prefer a mid-level like you who has the best chance of catching up with him, right?"
"Not to mention your tolerance for him..." Eisman frowned, "You're too nice to him. Sooner or later, this will become leverage for him to get even more!"
Given the Zerg's usual way of thinking and survival, what Eisman said is actually more in line with the Zerg's nature.
However, Arisa was only shaken for a moment.
Because the next second, Wilson, who couldn't bear it any longer, jumped down from the sub-female who was congratulating him on becoming the first female insect in the military academy.
The tall, silver-haired female insect stood in front of Arisa and said to Eisman, "Don't you have anything else to do?"
"Could you please stop spouting your unthinking speculations to my Lord?"
"Be a little more polite, Wilson." Arisa, who could hear Wilson's inner thoughts, couldn't help but remind him from behind, "Eisman and I are both male insects."
"...Okay, could you please go as far as you can?" Wilson corrected his words. However, because of his impatient tone, the revised words sounded much more impolite than before.
Arisa looked away silently.
Most of the Zerg in Wilson's mind sea matched Arisa's memory, but he had not yet seen the controversial male Zerg - Gayael.
Arisa didn't feel any anger towards the male insect who claimed to love Wilson, as if he was coveting her possessions. But she was indeed curious about what image Gayael had in Wilson's mind... and why Wilson had chosen to cooperate with Gayael.
But perhaps it was because Wilson was deeply opposed to him meeting Gayel, so even when Arisa deliberately blocked Gayel, she failed to catch Gayel.
——Damn it.
How many times has this happened? Arisa glanced at the silver-haired female insect beside her. He hadn't managed to meet Gayel face to face for the past few days.
The other party was either 'during class' or 'happened to leave' when he came over.
When coincidences are superimposed, they are no longer coincidences, but are intentional.
Arisa didn't know if the speed of time in the spiritual sea was different from that in reality, but he hated his current situation: once he felt unhappy about something, he would hope that the Zerg next to him would be as unhappy as he was.
"Wilson." Arisa suddenly called the name of the female insect next to her.
Wilson immediately looked down at him: "Is there something wrong?"
"What do you think of Gayel?" Arisa asked him, "Do you think he, a male insect, is suitable to be your... master?"
As Arisa finished the last word of this sentence, Wilson's expression darkened to the point of being unbearable to look at.
"...Have I done something wrong recently?" Wilson looked at Arisa and asked hesitantly, "Why do you say such a disgusting...imagination?"
"I just suddenly thought of Gayaru, and I think he's a very suitable male leader for female insects." Arisa didn't say anything like, 'I really want to disgust you,' but said, "Don't you think his idea of one male and one female is a good one? It's very fair."
Wilson didn't answer.
'It's really good.'
Arisa said nothing.
'but……'
"I think this idea is very good because I have a male insect that I'm interested in." Wilson looked at Arisa when he said this, although in the next second, he quickly shifted his gaze as if he suddenly remembered something.
"But I never thought he was a good leader." Wilson paused, "Because I think he's... hypocritical."
"Why?" Arisa asked.
"He gives me the feeling..." Wilson thought for a moment, "He doesn't say that because he's interested in any female insects, but because he knows most female insects like this statement."
Arisa didn't want to do this, but perhaps because the person in front of him was not the pirate who kidnapped him, but Wilson, a military academy student who only had memories of his military academy days, he looked at him in surprise - even though he knew that once he left Wilson's spiritual sea, Wilson would immediately know everything that happened in the spiritual sea.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wilson asked.
"I didn't expect you to think that. I thought you'd find his argument quite plausible," Arisa said. "Don't you yearn for the word 'fairness'?"
As one of the female Zerg who has personally experienced how unreasonable the rights of male Zergs are, as one of the female Zergs who has witnessed those warriors die in vain for a stupid male Zerg, and as one of the female Zergs who once yelled at him and said that she was fed up with the damn Zerg system.
Doesn't Wilson really yearn for this word?
Wilson didn't answer the question right away, but Arisa could hear his thoughts.
Unlike his previous arrogance, Wilson's voice this time was filled with fear.
- Wilson was afraid that he would be abandoned after expressing his thoughts.
Arisa didn't say anything, he just waited quietly.
He felt that he was only one step away from the answer.
"I..." Wilson licked his lips, "Yes, I... I do yearn for the word fairness."
"But I can't yearn for it," Wilson covered his head, "because I'm a female insect."
"I've seen what uncomfortably female insects look like. I can't pursue fairness just because... because of my own selfish desires," Wilson said, as if trying to convince himself. "...Our laws stipulate that a male insect must have at least seven females. They also stipulate that male insects in military academies have the obligation to comfort female soldiers returning from the battlefield. This law has been formed over tens of thousands of years."
“If it exists, there must be a reason for its existence.”
"So I can't..." He gritted his teeth and covered his face, "I can't--"
...Is this the answer?
Arisa looked at Wilson who was in pain and said nothing.
Is it because of this reason?
Because she was ultimately unable to resist this instinct, the female insect abducted him from the battlefield.
So a new question arises: why would the other party choose to cooperate with the pirates?
Why don't you want him to see Gayel now?
