The insects present had never seen anything like this. In their minds, chumi was a rare commodity, circulated on the black market and fetching a high price. They had no idea this small motor ship was so magnanimous, giving away hundreds of tons of its carrying capacity to chumi!
Why was it immediately clear that this was primordial honey? Because one of the characteristics that distinguished primordial honey from ordinary honey was its extremely strong agglomerating and adsorbing properties. The bright red, oily primordial honey exploded into a crimson mist across the universe, quickly congealing and clinging together. Worse still, under the scorching flames of the explosion, it seemed to be rapidly thinning. The flames filtered through the primordial honey were all red. If the eternally burning hell of karmic fire of human legend existed, it would likely look like this.
Space is an oxygen-free environment. After the ship exploded and burned through all the oxygen in the cabin, the flames would go out. Strangely, in the area where the primordial honey was most concentrated, the flames never went out, but instead grew stronger and stronger. The extremely high heat seemed to distort the space.
Soon, the insects discovered that the spatial deformation was not an illusion. A bright red vortex was forming in the center of the explosion, the brightest and most crimson region. Alarms blared throughout the cabin, signaling the formation of an abnormal energy field.
Ryan ordered all fleets to evacuate the area immediately and quickly gather around the Pompeii. Alyssa ordered the Third Legion's transports to withdraw first, but the transports were bulkier than the maneuverable ships and the Pompeii, equipped with all the Zerg's most advanced technology. Before they could turn around, the black hole at the center of the vortex formed.
"Wormhole!"
The abnormal energy warning tone had become a sharp, continuous whistle. Soon, a long, alien creature emerged from the center of the pitch-black wormhole. Then, a second, a third... More and more alien creatures, like ants in a panic, swarmed out of the wormhole. They roamed the universe, greedily licking the primordial honey. Hundreds of tons of blood-red primordial honey were quickly devoured. Still unsatisfied, they quickly set their sights on the Pompeii.
There, they yearn for... yearn for...
Gabrielle was shaking like a sieve. The nightmare scene from three weeks ago was replayed before her eyes: "Alien, alien tide!"
She remembered that three years ago, before Her Majesty Aimi encountered the alien wave, she seemed to have heard an explosion. A wormhole opened near the route they were cruising on the remote planet, and countless alien species emerged from that wormhole.
Could it be that this wormhole that caused the alien tide was deliberately created by detonating a large amount of primordial honey?
Was the accident three years ago a deliberate murder against His Majesty Aimi?
"A-Her Majesty Alyssa!" Gabriel turned back in panic. All of this was aimed squarely at Her Majesty Alyssa! The instigator had first launched a suicide attack using Seville's motor ship, then used the same method he'd used to assassinate Her Majesty Amelia to detonate the alien tide! This was a blatant provocation. Not only could he have captured Seville, but he could also be the culprit responsible for Her Majesty Amelia's death and the loss of Her Majesty Alyssa to the human world! He wasn't just murdering, he was also slaying the Insect Mother's heart!
Alyssa's face was expressionless, and her eyes had completely turned into golden compound eyes.
"Her Majesty Alyssa, please retreat immediately!" Gabriel rushed over, practically crawling at Alyssa's feet. How could she not sense the raging fury of Her Majesty the Zerg Queen? There were simply too many alien species, and they, the Zerg, had to protect the Zerg Queen!
Alyssa stroked Gabriel’s head and said, “Gabriel, bring me the meteorite stone.”
A golden thread of mental power fell on Gabriel's head. She had Alyssa's vision and saw the storm roaring in Alyssa's spiritual world.
In the Worm Mother's mental world, Gabriel could clearly sense that Ryan was already inside the game, and more and more Tiger Guards were constantly joining. They, of course, shared Gabriel's fear. Fear was a highly contagious emotion. The cumulative fear of the growing number of worms should have been an unbearable mental burden, but this fear, placed within the Worm Mother's vast mental world, seemed insignificant. Gabriel kissed Alyssa's hand, which was caressing her head, and quickly carried out Alyssa's command.
“Isabella, can you hear me?” Alyssa asked, grabbing a floating communication microphone.
Isabella stood in front of more than sixty surveillance screens and replied to Alyssa with a trembling voice, "Yes...Yes, Your Majesty."
The livestream was ongoing, capturing the Zerg Mother from far more cameras than just the ones displayed. Numerous cameras were present. The public didn't see it, but Isabella did. The number of the motor ship that exploded was the same one Seville had flown. Before she could even consider it, the alien wave erupted. She forced composure on her face, but the increasingly bitter and acrid pheromones clearly betrayed her inner panic.
What happened to Seville, who had been missing for over a month? Why was his powerboat here? Was he on the one that exploded?
Alyssa's calm tone sobered Isabella up a bit. She slapped her face. She had to believe in the bond between Her Majesty Alyssa and Seville! Her Majesty Alyssa was so calm, Seville should be fine!
"Isabella, focus your filming on the aliens and me," Alyssa said. "This will be a battle where I lead the Zerg against the aliens. It's a battle where I prove my worth as Zerg Queen. It's a battle that all Zerg should witness!"
Isabella's eyes darkened, and she took several deep breaths. With each exhale, she felt the distracting thoughts in her mind being expelled as her air ducts expanded and expanded. She held onto the center console and calmly began to direct: "047 to 059, exit the cabin and fly toward the wormhole. Immediately split the screen..."
Although Barin Knox wasn't at the scene where the Zerg Mother welcomed the Third Legion's replacement troops, nor was he in the control room for Today's Throne's live broadcast, he was still a keen entrepreneur. After seeing the Today's Throne live broadcast's unusual split-screen display, and Isabella's lavish deployment of more than a dozen cosmic radiation-resistant high-definition camera robots, along with the terrifying xenomorphs on screen, Barin pondered for a few seconds and immediately instructed his assistant to allocate prime space across all StarNet Group's media and websites for Today's Throne's live broadcast.
Zergs across the galaxy watched this livestream. The barrage of comments was as dense as a rainstorm, overlapping to the point where the content was indistinct. The panic that gripped the entire race was crystallized in this way. No Zerg could have imagined that the Zerg Queen, who was supposed to be carefully protected in the deepest part of the flower bud by their own race, would be on such a dangerous front line!
Alien species, so many of them! They encompassed every dangerous type the Zerg could imagine! These weren't the incompletely mutated, rudimentary species the Zerg Queen had encountered in the previous livestream, but fully developed forms, each one nearly a hundred meters long!
"It's really... spectacular."
Alfonso was also watching the live broadcast. He looked at the dense tide of alien species in the live broadcast with satisfaction, and tried hard to distinguish the panic and fear messages in the barrage.
"Well, don't you think this form is the ultimate direction of our Zerg evolution? So strong that even cosmic radiation and the spatial distortions and pressures of wormholes can't harm them. With this form, we Zerg don't need to learn the complex tools humans use. Our original form is enough to become the overlord of this universe."
Behind Alfonso, Seville was bound and hung upside down in mid-air. His consciousness was already hazy. Every half hour, Alfonso would place him in the pool of virgin honey below and soak him for ten minutes. He was already trying hard to hold his breath, to prevent himself from consuming the virgin honey, but it seeped into every pore of his body. His flexible tentacles, which changed color like neon lights, had already lost their resistance first and dangled limply, stained red by the virgin honey.
Behind Seville was Fike, her hands tied and hanging. Looking at Fike, unconscious and oozing honey from all her pores, Seville felt a wave of dizziness. Fike seemed to have become a spinning shadow before him.
She seems like... the original insect mother.
No… She looked like… like the golden shadow that appeared behind Alyssa when she used her mental power to purify.
Alfonso saw that the unconscious Seville had never taken his eyes off Fico, and he was very satisfied: "So, admiring your insect mother again?"
What…what about my worm mother…my worm mother doesn’t look like this…my worm mother is…small…very cute…always smiling and looking up at me…not like this…
"Your spiritual world is quite difficult to break into. It doesn't matter, I'll just brainwash you a little more." As he said that, Alfonso pressed a switch beside him and sank Sevier into the virgin honey pool again.
When Alfonso pulled Seville up again, he said to Seville, who was almost covered in blood, "Come on, tell me, what are you doing in the human star region?"
Three days ago, Seville brought several human doctors from the human star region. Unexpectedly, they had just crossed the demagnetization line and connected to the Zerg signal when they were attacked by Alfonso. Seville, completely incapable of combat, desperately stuffed all the human doctors into the ejection rescue pod, hastily set a jump coordinate, and ejected them all, leaving him to navigate the mobile ship against Alfonso until he was captured.
"You really shouldn't have left the star region under Luke Tren's jurisdiction. He's a cowardly fence-sitter with more leverage than the scales on your wings. He might not be good at fighting, but he's definitely good at being a local tyrant in his own little world. He knows all about your and your brother's little tricks, but he pretends not to know because he wants to please that human insect queen."
"But now he's trying to please me. I made a few random threats, and he sold out your brother and you! Hahahahahahaha!"
"Do you know why I didn't go after your ejection capsule? The jump coordinates are with your brother, right? Luke will clean it up for me."
"I have granted him evolution. Yes, you think it's a mutation, but in fact, it's an evolution! An evolution that will make the Zerg even more powerful!"
"You may look down on the aliens who act entirely on instinct. But you don't know, right? The original insect mother's earliest children were also a group of insects that could only act on instinct."
"Hehehe, after Luke, the ghost dragonfly, evolves, his speed and strength must have reached a terrifying level. It's a pity that I have to take you with me and don't have time to stay over there and watch the fun. Luke loves power, so in the future, I can reward him with a position as a general beside His Majesty Fike, hahahahaha!"
Seville couldn't hear what Alfonso was saying. He just felt that the insect in front of him was chattering non-stop and very noisy, making his mind a mess.
"I ask again, what are you doing in the human star region?"
“…”
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. It's just about that human insect queen. No matter what kind of public opinion there is, your insects will be able to help her deal with it."
Alfonso looked back at the densely packed aliens on the live feed and smiled contentedly, "I was wrong to play house with you guys back then. If I had the power, I should have used it to decide the outcome with you long ago."
"Come! Just as history records! Fight with blood and fire for the birth of a new insect mother!"
