Chapter 459: Dark Xel'naga, the true opponent is the Blade Queen!

~14 min read 2,767 words

After the fusion was completed, Luode's Leviathan battleship became slightly larger; after all, the queen's Leviathan battleship was still very huge, and its functions were also further improved.

Abase, this genetic engineering master, also naturally entered Luode's Leviathan battleship, continuing to conduct genetic research work for Luode.

The monster clan genes brought from the Journey to the West world were, for this genetic engineering master, a very challenging thing.

"How is it? Yizisha, are you used to the new body?" Luode came to the flagship's position, looking at Yizisha ahead and asked.

After the two Leviathan battleships fused, this worm girl in front became the sole intelligent computer of the Leviathan battleship, connected to the entire swarm network, and some other queen worms were responsible for Luode to unified command the battlefield.

"Valued master, I can now fully control this battleship; the miraculous solar extraction furnace you created has been arranged at the very center of the Leviathan, and when needed it can perform stellar energy extraction."

Furthermore, inside the Leviathan there is also a stellar energy storage base, and the energy stored there is sufficient for daily consumption.

In the absence of battle, extracting stellar energy once to reach the Leviathan battleship's storage value requires no additional energy replenishment for at least ten years.

Furthermore, during this period, all hatcheries and all Zerg upgrade buildings can be used." Yizisha said.

After obtaining the new body, her abilities in all aspects have been strengthened, and because of the dark divine power, she is now 100% loyal to Luode.

The Blade Queen who previously created her has long been thrown to the back of the mind.

"Hmm! Alright, you first develop the Zerg troop types; I now have some matters to attend to." Luode said.

Conquering the entire Zerg, for Luode is merely a playful game; although for other races the Zerg is an unimaginably huge colossus, gaining dominion over the Zerg is equivalent to ruling half the universe.

But for an existence of Luode's level, surpassing single-universe level and entering the multiverse level is what he truly needs to do now. (Let's give a definition here! The god of the multiverse, a multiverse-level lifeform. It represents the ability to destroy or create multiple single universes.)

The so-called multiverse-level characters in the Marvel world are simply rotten to the core; sometimes they are absurdly strong, sometimes they are rotten to slag, damn it! In this case, I feel that the Saint Seiya world and DC are slightly better.

After the StarCraft storyline ends, the plan is to go to the DC world.) Now Luode ought to attend to some proper business in having come to this universe; he hasn't forgotten that his purpose is to find this universe's dark Xel'naga Amon.

The Xel'naga are an extremely powerful and mysterious race; they are the source of all universes, and in terms of rank they are even higher than the Titans of the Azeroth world.

In the universe, sowing the seeds of life—only the two races that have evolved form and consciousness to the limit.

Only at the end of the universe can they be seen; and the two races will merge into one, becoming a new Xel'naga, and all Xel'naga will share with him all knowledge and power.

The vital signs of these Xel'naga are very strange; logically they should be the product of the two races merging, but the total population of the two races added together.

Such a vast consciousness indicates that the Xel'naga is not a single consciousness, or after the fusion.

It becomes a single consciousness, becoming a new Xel'naga; they even forget what their original race looked like, because at the moment they become Xel'naga they have already departed from their original race, completing a life elevation.

All Xel'naga, aside from sowing life in the universe, return to their own Void Temple to slumber, awaiting new members to arrive, then proceed to the next cycle.

But all of this was broken by an accident; a very young Xel'naga felt this cycle was wrong, so he secretly, without telling the other Xel'naga, awakened early in the Void Temple and dispatched an avatar to the lower realm.

Then he wanted to secretly control the Protoss of the lower realm, but subsequently suffered a backstab from the Protoss tribe.

Afterwards this dark Xel'naga Amon came to the Zerg's homeworld, thereby creating the Zerg this powerful and terrifying creature.

He continued his dark rule until other Xel'naga discovered him; then a large number of Xel'naga sent avatars into the real universe and assembled a huge army to come and attack Amon.

Facing his own kin, Amon basically had no power to retaliate, so Amon chose to negotiate with his own kind.

These foolish Xel'naga even still felt that Amon at this point was still savable, so they agreed to the negotiation; the result ruined Amon's sneak attack, leaving the entire Xel'naga clan with only one elder, this elder struck Amon back into the Void, but also caused the collective death of the other Xel'naga.

The Xel'naga race can no longer go to the infinite universes to scatter life seeds.

Indeed, in the StarCraft setting, the story universe of StarCraft is actually not the only one; the Xel'naga have visited many universes.

Even in some chronicles it is said that the Warcraft universe where Azeroth resides was also visited by the Xel'naga, and they even created the Titans.

But Luode scoffs at this; Titans, this level of lifeform, have combat power extremely strong, completely reaching the level of a cosmic god; wanting to create such a being, with his current level he cannot do it.

The life created by this group of Xel'naga are all mortal races, fundamentally they have not created any god‑level race.

The only race with a relatively long lifespan is the Protoss; the Xel'naga race, their true forms cannot enter the material universe, so to enter the material universe they can only dispatch an avatar.

The previous dark Xel'naga Amon, for some reasons, was expelled from this universe; if he wants to return, he must rely on the power of the Xel'naga artifact, namely the moment Sarah Kerrigan was struck.

Now this dark Xel'naga should already have entered the material universe and chosen an avatar.

Soon afterward, he will corrupt the Protoss' planet Aiur and control all the Zerg on the entire Aiur.

In the backdrop of StarCraft, when the Zerg overlord exists, it is thoroughly unified all Zerg in the universe, and all Zerg obey the overlord's commands.

But in the era of the Blade Queen, the Zerg had already begun to split; large numbers of Zerg became wild, and the entire Aiur planet's Zerg were in a wild state after Amon's avatar descended.

Soon he controlled these wild Zerg and corrupted some human scientists, letting them use human technological products to create a new race, a fusion of Protoss and Zerg, a mixed‑origin being.

After Luode took over the entire Zerg, he naturally could also enter the Zerg network; these wild Zerg, although they have left the Zerg network,

but Luode can still sense that they are being gathered by a powerful force, so it is also time to go meet this opponent.

This time, Luode brought no subordinates but came alone, directly via spatial ability to the Protoss' homeworld, which is now completely occupied by the Zerg on the Aiur planet.

A pitch‑black creature is crouched on this planet, continually controlling all the Zerg on the planet and ruling them.

"Excellent! My little wormlings, you are the life I created; by nature you should be loyal to me; I will elevate you into a stronger life form, and then completely destroy this failed universe." The dark Xel'naga Amon let out a sinister laugh and said.

Already tens of thousands of years have passed; he has finally found an opportunity again, returned to this real universe, and begun to carry out his grand plan; this time, no one can again sabotage his grand plan.

Just as the dark Xel'naga Amon was feeling pleased, a blue portal suddenly appeared beside him, and Luode walked out from it. "??? Who are you? What are you? Are you human? No, no, you, you are a Xel'naga! Or perhaps a species that we Xel'naga have never seen?" Amon's avatar, looking at Luode before him, was somewhat bewildered.

This suddenly appearing creature left him completely unable to comprehend; this creature is not an ordinary lifeform, its life level has even reached that of their Xel'naga, and it is not at the avatar level, but at the true body level, even higher.

How could this be possible? The material universe should not be able to accommodate such a powerful presence descending; otherwise, the Xel'naga would not have chosen to enter this world via avatars.

Luode's appearance struck the dark Xel'naga's brain dumbfounded; he does not understand what this life before him actually is, and even in his hundred‑million‑year memory, and in the shared memory of all Xel'naga, this life has never appeared.

"To be frank, I'm quite disappointed with your current state; your body does have a trace of divinity, but it is still a mortal frame!" Luode looked at the pitch‑black creature before him and said with a disappointed expression.

Spiritual ability is very strong, even not inferior to the Titans, but that's just not inferior to the Titans; this guy's life level is exactly the same as the Titans', but as for the strength of this avatar? It's rather lackluster, merely a construct of special energy; it can still deal with some mortal races.

No, no, no; perhaps if mortal races use some hugely destructive weapons, he too would be finished.

Luode recalled that in the Protoss campaign, the final stage was the war to liberate Aiur; the Protoss used various mothership laser cannons to bombard this Amon, resulting in his avatar being scattered.

So being wounded or even killed by a bunch of mortals' weapons—how weak are you? After finally entering the Void, he was defeated by the newly‑ascended Xel'naga Kerrigan.

Luode couldn't help but wonder whether such a guy is truly worthy to be his opponent; now, even if the number of ordinary Titans were greater, they still wouldn't be a match for Luode, and Luode could even slaughter a host of Titans.

"A god from another world, you probably aren't a lifeform of this world, right? I am called Amon, I am one of the creators of this universe, a Xel'naga." Amon said.

Although he wants to destroy this universe, as a Xel'naga his wisdom remains; after a simple analysis of the Xel'naga, he concludes that Luode is not from this universe but a lifeform from another universe.

Truly a powerful and perfect lifeform; this physique of his is the perfect one, unlike his own race, the Xel'naga constantly engage in that ridiculous and meaningless cycle. Clearly they could do better, making the universe better.

「Actually, to be honest, I'm quite disappointed with you. Before seeing you, I thought you would be a formidable rival of mine, but after seeing you, I realized you are completely not the person I had in mind. 」 Luode said.

Using one's own spatial abilities and dark divine power, the Void Luode of this world can also enter it, as long as one's strength reaches the Titan level, one can open that Void world and enter it; even a group of humans can enter.

In the Void, the true form of the Xel'naga probably isn't much stronger either, and this person called Amon, the Dark Xel'naga, is likely the youngest and strongest among their clan.

But even so, against Luode they probably couldn't last three rounds; what's the point of fighting in that situation?

There's no way to fight, right? So why? When one uses their spatial abilities, they come to this world.

In the darkness, one's spatial abilities tell Luode that there is a suitable opponent here, but this so-called Aimon, the Dark Xel'naga, is completely unfit!

So could one's opponent be someone else? "I don't understand what you're saying." Aimon said.

"It's fine if you don't understand; I've heard you want to reshape this universe—how do you plan to do it?" Luode asked.

"This is my business, outsider; I have no intention of being your enemy. This universe is what we created, outsider. I want to reshape this universe, so please don't interfere with my work. If possible, I will invite you to watch how I create cosmic life." Aimon said.

If it weren't for seeing how strong you are, I might not be able to beat you; I would have already killed you.

"I'd like to ask you to return to the Void first." Luode didn't waste words, directly raised his hand, and just destroyed the physical form of the Aimon who had just descended as an incarnation into the lower realm, then sent his spirit back to the Void world.

Just a moment ago, Luode realized something: this Aimon before him, this Dark Xel'naga, is not the opponent he's looking for; Luode is quite certain of that.

Because this guy basically doesn't know how to fight or even combat, after Sarah Kerrigan received the essence inheritance of an ancient Xel'naga, her life level underwent a leap, and she easily defeated this guy.

So this guy's combat ability is terrible to the extreme, belonging to the novice among novices; rather than fighting such an opponent, Luode thought it would be better to cultivate a suitable opponent himself.

But spatial abilities don't deceive oneself, so this opponent is no one else—it's exactly the Blade Queen Sarah Kerrigan; this Blade Queen is indeed a tough character who fought their way up.

The most suitable opponent for Luode is definitely not that Dark Xel'naga Amon, but rather the Blade Queen Kerrigan who has completed a life leap and ascended to the Xel'naga realm.

Thus Luode made his decision: first, he sent the incarnation of the Dark Xel'naga directly back to the Void world.

Next, he would play the role of the behind-the-scenes boss, then step by step guide Sarah Kerrigan along the path from the original story, ultimately becoming a true Xel'naga and absorbing all the essence of the entire Xel'naga clan.

After figuring all this out, Luode directly took action, sending that Dark Xel'naga Aimon back to the Void world.

If we let her absorb the power of the entire Xel'naga clan, what would happen?

Then, using his immense spiritual power, he pulled all the wild Zerg on Aiur into the Zerg network, reintegrating them into the Zerg family.

"Lord Luode! Are you there? I sense that many new Zerg have connected to the network." Through the Zerg swarm's special network, Luode also made contact with his female Zerg adjutant, Izsha.

"That's right, these Zerg are the wild Zerg I discovered on Aiur; they are numerous, and I brought them back into the Zerg swarm." Luode said.

"Lord Luode, Abathur reported to me that the Zerg's unit evolution has seen some success, having cultivated two new unit types, and he wants to invite you to come observe." The adjutant Zerg on the Leviathan warship suddenly spoke.

The reason for contacting Luode at this time, aside from suddenly receiving a large batch of Zerg network links, is also to report to Luode Abathur's new unit research.

"I got it, let's go! We're going to see Abathur now; I happen to need to use these Zerg swarm units to do something." Luode said.

A strand of blue Void energy appeared, and Luode directly returned to the Leviathan warship; he has a lot to do next—how to deal with the Blade Queen?

Soon, Luode arrived at the Evolution Chamber of the Leviathan where Abathur was tinkering with two new units; one of them had the form of a huge treant.

After seeing that treant, Luode was a bit dumbfounded—how could Abathur possibly produce a treant?

Wait! Well, there seems to indeed be a kind of tree spirit in Purple Cloud Mountain, so is the new unit Abathur researched this one?

And another new troop type of the insect race was a gigantic humanoid insect, its body bearing a pair of huge wings, on its back a golden scorpion tail, also two large pincers, and its abdomen also had several small hands.

Damn, is this a combination of a scorpion and a dragonfly?

"Lord Luode, these are the two new troop types I have created: the tree insects, and the flying scorpion-dragonfly soldiers." Abasé came before Lord Luode and spoke. (End of chapter)
