Indestructible protection and vigilance.
Spider-web-like fine lines have climbed up Boyce's cheeks, and the monster in the abyss is eager to peel off the false yet solid disguise.
Modima smelled a cold and eerie breath.
He no longer had that strange smile on his face. His entire body seemed to have been frozen into a sculpture by the sudden snowstorm, with only the blush on his cheeks echoing his already insane mind.
"Mr. Wang, I have no ill will towards the Insect Mother, and I pose no threat to you." He said in a very calm tone.
Wang Fu.
This was a name that Elvis rarely heard from bugs other than him and Boyce since he passed through the space gap.
And every time the Zerg calls this name, it is Modima.
——This made him more patient with Modima.
"Tell me, what do you know?" The blond king reached out and grasped the strong fingers of his husband who was about to go crazy, and said it casually in a tone that showed he was not worried about being rejected at all.
Modima stared at Elvis for a while, letting the cold air in the space leave deep scars on his body that were visible to the bone, making his already weak body even weaker.
Before the last bit of tolerance of this possessive and terrifying monster, Boyce, ran out, he withdrew his gaze.
"If you want to know the whole truth, you can only go to the central area to find my father, Dewitt."
"All books recording events from a thousand years ago have been destroyed, and all rumors have been strictly prohibited. In this universe, only my father, Dewitt, and I remain in the know."
"But I know very little."
He seemed to suddenly remember something and laughed strangely in a very rapid tone.
"That's not right. And that robot Bert knows everything."
He seemed to know that Elvis was not interested in these things and quickly changed the subject back to its original direction.
"After all the information was sealed, the truth was only passed down from generation to generation among the archons. After I took over my father's position, he told me part of the truth, but he would only tell me the rest when he was about to die."
"I don't know what happened before. The only truths I accept are those that happened after the Worm Mother passed away. The Worm Mother left us something..."
Before he finished speaking, the icy pheromones in the space quickly dropped to an extremely cold temperature. Even without deliberate control, the chilling cold was enough to penetrate the bones and leave deep scars.
Elvis gently pinched Boyce's fingertips, and the ball of spiritual power in Boyce's spiritual sea fell on the rugged rocks and spread out like a secret hug.
The icy chill in the air receded for a moment, and Ives fixed his gaze on Modima, whose hair and eyebrows had already frozen, and asked, "Did the Worm Mother pass away and leave something behind? How can you be sure that we were one from the beginning to the end?"
When he encountered the fake one on the battlefield, Modima told him that it was made from a part of his body.
And these were traces left behind by him on his own initiative.
But in his memory, he had never left any traces anywhere that should not have been there, including Gedsens where he lived before entering the space rift.
Now tell him that the insect mother left traces after her death.
Although he had already figured out that the insect queen was most likely himself.
But he was able to make a rough determination through the comparison of mental power and the Zerg's fanatical attitude towards his pheromones.
From his observations, the Zerg here only had a vague understanding of mental power, and were completely unaware of pheromones. Even Modima, a Zerg who knew some of the truth, hadn't been soothed by pheromones. How could he possibly be capable of such a detailed analysis?
——So, when he and Boyce fell into this space-time through the gap in space, was it really because of a breakthrough in their mental power that triggered the □ of space, or was it intentional by the existence in the dark?
Chapter 44
At this moment, thousands of thoughts were flowing in a chaotic mess. Elvis lowered his eyes, hiding all the subtle emotions.
Modima did not find any trace on the handsome and gorgeous face of the golden-haired king. Unable to see any trace, the male insect regretfully withdrew his secret gaze.
Although I had already expected that the arrogant and cold Worm Queen would not easily reveal flaws in the simplest expressions, I still felt regretful when I actually saw it.
But——it doesn’t matter if I can’t see it.
Modima remained composed, but his increasingly heavy breathing and the blush that seemed to have solidified on his cheeks hinted at his excitement.
He doesn't care either.
He had found the answer in the question.
Elvis looked at the crazy male insect, and his keen mental power had already sensed the gradual collapse of Modima's spiritual sea.
"Because the Worm Mother is immortal!" Modima spoke word by word in a strange and excited tone.
Boyce's pupils suddenly shrank, and the sharp and pointed vertical pupils gave off an inhuman feeling that stood out at this moment.
"Immortality?" Elvis' tone was peculiar, with a playful and ambiguous meaning.
Boyce seemed to be comforted, the icy atmosphere in the space eased a little, and the hideous tentacles intertwined and made a rustling sound of friction.
His thin palm, which had been submissively played with by Elvis's slender fingers, turned around and tightly grasped Elvis's fingers, and slowly covered Elvis's entire hand.
It is a strong and unquestionable force.
Elvis was slightly surprised and shook his arms curiously, and his originally indistinguishable emotions immediately dissipated.
——For Boyce, who had always been docile and obedient in front of him, this was a rare move.
Boyce had his moments of strength, but those were always due to Elvis's actions endangering his own health. Essentially, those were also instincts stemming from Wang Fu, a Zerg.
And at this moment, this is a need that comes from his own.
Boyce had this kind of need before, but he always suppressed it with his strong willpower. There was even a period of time when Elvis was keen on teasing Boyce and watching his every move of forbearance.
Because of his husband's "surprised" behavior, Elvis was in a good mood, and even his tone softened: "I didn't expect you to hit the mark by accident. Indeed, there has always been only one insect mother, and the inheritance has continued."
"However, even if the conclusion of an inference that is wrong at the beginning is correct, it will not be as 'immortal' as you might guess."
Modi Ma seemed to anticipate something, the blush on his cheeks fading, his entire face becoming a single, eerie pale. Elvis's lips curled up, his bright red lips creating a striking, heart-stirring stroke on his handsome face.
But Modima had no mood to appreciate it. As Elvis spoke in a light and playful manner, he became more and more shaky.
"You're thinking well. I don't know where you heard the term 'immortal', but it's certainly a valid term for the Worm Mother. But unfortunately, its meaning is far from what you imagine."
Boyce, who was standing quietly beside him, stared at his partner who was full of evil intentions, and concealed the darkness in his eyes before he noticed.
There were pleasant voices ringing in his ears, but he didn't hear a single word. What lingered in his mind for a long time was the slightly widened blue eyes of the blond king.
What does it look like?
Wang Fuwei, who had always lived with the golden-haired king as the center of his life, pursed his lips, and the information that had been glanced at in the distant memory came out of his mind.
“…”
Yes, it’s a cat.
Elvis, in high spirits, was completely unaware of his husband's distraction and began to narrate in a nearly aria-like tone: "You thought the Zerg Queen was immortal, forever standing among the pyramids, firmly ruling the Zerg."
"Unfortunately, you are wrong."
"No--" Modima's voice at this moment was ferocious and violent. A force that came from nowhere made him stand up and pounce towards Elvis, trying to interrupt the words of this demon.
But even if Boyce was distracted, he was still the king's husband who was superior to countless peak-stage Zergs and had the privilege of being close to the Zerg Queen. What's more, protecting his partner was an instinct engraved in his bones and blood.
The thick tentacles easily wrapped around Modima, and with a slight force, the male insect's face began to turn blue.
Modima was shackled in mid-air, listening desperately to Elvis's uninterrupted speech. "You were moved by your own conjecture and frantically searched for information, hoping to gain more. Unfortunately, as you said before, the books were burned and the information was imprisoned, so you couldn't find much."
"Finally, you gave up searching for information and stubbornly believed in this hypothesis. You used what I left behind to create Zerg Queens, hoping to obtain the secret of immortality—or even completely rule the Zerg. The replica you created on the interstellar battlefield was your most satisfying creation. You thought it could rival mine, but you discovered it was no match for me."
"I'm guessing you were the replacement you created after we appeared in the Chris System. That's one of the reasons you were so excited back then. You kept experimenting based on a hypothesis you didn't know was true, and one day you suddenly discovered the Worm Mother still existed. I'm sure you were thrilled. Even more thrilling was that after seeing the real Worm Mother, not just the flimsy image sketched in a few words, you successfully created a finished product based on my image that you were most satisfied with."
"But who truly made you make up your mind?" Elvis mused. "You're not reckless. On the contrary, you're very cautious. Before you made up your mind to research and create the Worm Queen, someone must have given you hope. Only then could you persevere with the empty promise of 'immortality'."
"You're right." Modima, who had stopped struggling as Elvis revealed more information, replied with a bitter smile.
"I didn't really believe my own guess, after all, I didn't tell my father that I was looking for him.
