Chapter 462

It's a joke—if he really had such a powerful monster in his hand, how could he possibly fear Sarah Kerrigan? He would have mass-produced these monsters long ago and dealt with the Blade Queen.

A terrifying lifeform born from the union of the Protoss and the Zerg. Just hearing about it sounds powerful! Why didn't I think of this strategy before? "A special foundation under your son has a doctor secretly researching this hybrid organism and has already made breakthrough progress.

Send a Ghost agent to secretly investigate—you should uncover the truth. This monster is extremely powerful, and I can teach you how to control them." Luode said (here, "hybrid entity" and "hybrid organism" are both correct translations—basically, a monster mixed with Zerg and Protoss genes.) The method for Mengsk to control the hybrid organisms is simple; Luode plans to first use his own dark divine power to remodel the other party.

Further enhance the combat power of these hybrid monsters, granting them the strength of the ancient void evil gods, then hand over control to Mengsk.

Such a special hybrid organism is an extremely powerful species in the StarCraft universe.

"I understand, great god. I will immediately send Ghost agents to investigate the foundation.

Also, if Jim Raynor is captured, I will immediately hand him over to you." Mengsk nodded and said.

Since the other party has bestowed such great power upon him, he must repay it. Mengsk is an outstanding politician, his mind exceptionally sharp.

Therefore, he fully understands: when facing the strong, one must learn to bow and scrape. Since the other party can bestow such great power upon oneself, they can also easily take it back.

You must learn to flatter them, just as when you first saw Kerrigan.

Vince skillfully hid all his hatred, showed great enthusiasm to Kerrigan, let this Ghost agent join the Imperial ranks, and then stabbed her at the critical moment.

Mengsk even began to ponder: what kind of being is this presence before him? Could it be the legendary Xel'naga?

It seems only the Xel'naga could explain the power this person possesses—they are a group of true gods in the truest sense.

"Your Excellency! This newly improved warrior—should you give them a name?" Mengsk the Emperor knelt on the ground and asked.

"Whatever you like! Arrange a residence for me—I will stay here for now. To the outside world, claim I am a technical master you hired at great cost, here to provide you with some technical support." Luode said.

A group of warriors transformed using the Apocalypse Virus and elixirs—indeed, their overall strength is far greater than ordinary people, at least tenfold or more.

Even so, they are still not worthy of Luode's attention—he could casually pull out a Golden Saint and beat them into submission.

"Then what about calling them StarCraft Warriors? Or Imperial Warriors?" Mengsk knelt on the ground and asked.

Upon hearing this, Luode was speechless. Damn! StarCraft Warriors! Do you really think this is Warhammer?

In the following time, Mengsk began large-scale military reform: first, he had Imperial scientists analyze the Apocalypse Virus Luode brought, then based on the data, began copying and mass-producing the virus.

Since raw materials are relatively easy to obtain and there are no detailed blueprints or formulas, these scientists only needed a few days to already mass-produce the Apocalypse Virus.

Speaking of which, the Marvel universe is truly a bug-level existence—clearly not yet entered interstellar space, not yet become a spacefaring civilization, yet they managed to create it.

Even spaceflight and civilization—drooling over the Apocalypse Virus, and even more formidable and buggy black technology.

After obtaining these gene-altering potions, the Apocalypse Virus, Mengsk the Emperor immediately arranged for a ten-thousand-strong Imperial army, his strongest personal guard, the Sons of Kha, to undergo transformation.

On Luode's side, he also produced ten thousand ordinary elixirs and handed them to Mengsk, to be given to these warriors.

The elixirs Luode produced are those that some cultivators in the Black Myth world can refine for mortal use, called the Great Strength Vajra Elixir.

Consuming this elixir allows martial artists to greatly enhance their physical constitution, gain infinite strength, and have bodies as firm as vajra—ordinary blades cannot harm them. Placed in the StarCraft universe, even ordinary firearms cannot injure them.

These lowest-grade elixirs—Luode can just find an alchemy furnace, pick some junk medicinal herbs from his premium pasture, Mount Xikunlun, and refine a large batch; they are pure consumables.

Due to some mischievous taste, Luode processed these elixirs so that those who consume them experience rapid growth, increasing their height by half.

In just a few days, these StarCraft Warriors' transformation was complete—they became superhuman warriors, each over 2.5 meters tall, possessing unimaginable strength.

These transformed StarCraft Warriors were soon equipped with powerful armor and various latest weapons developed by the Empire, becoming true elite forces.

"Look! Great Ancestor of the No-Heaven Law, this is the army I transformed using the technology you taught me." Mengsk said excitedly.

For convenience of address, Luode directly announced the title of Emo, so Mengsk the Emperor would call him that.

Gazing at the army before him, Mengsk felt a surge of pride.

This is the army I envisioned—possessing supremely strong bodies, even capable of matching the Zerg in hand-to-hand combat through sheer physical prowess, completely overwhelming the Protoss' physicality—this is humanity's ultimate evolutionary form.

Had it not been for Luode bestowing demonic power upon him, Mengsk would have wanted to join this glorious evolution, to join these warriors' ranks.

"I think you should equip them with close-combat weapons—say, chainsaws or high-temperature cutting blades." Luode stroked his chin and said.

The armor of the StarCraft Warriors in the StarCraft universe is very similar to the tin cans of the StarCraft Warriors in Warhammer! And now their height meets the standard, armor height closely matches.

If we then give them chainsaws or heat-cutting blades, adding to their existing firearms, they would be a replica of the StarCraft Warriors.

"Hahaha! Great Ancestor of the No-Heaven Law, you're right—if we equip them with some close-combat weapons, it's indeed very suitable. I will immediately notify the Ministry of Military Industry to begin research, and soon we will issue weapons to these warriors one by one." Mengsk nodded and said.

"Mm! I greatly look forward to seeing these warriors engage the Zerg armies on the front lines." Luode said.

"That day will come! Lord Emo." Mengsk the Emperor nodded at Luode and said.

Once these armies are fully formed and equipped with the Empire's latest high-end weapons produced, they can deliver a devastating blow to the Zerg swarms—only monsters as massive as the Thunder Beast could threaten them; other Zerg infantry would be utterly powerless before them.

"Lord Emo! The special transformation pills you previously gave me have been completely used up—can you provide some more?" Mengsk the Emperor looked at Luode and asked cautiously.

These special elixirs are very effective—Mengsk the Emperor is extremely envious, so he secretly hid a few, had his subordinates research them, hoping to replicate this special elixir so he could independently transform StarCraft Warriors in the future.

But unfortunately, after system analysis, scientists found that all substances on this elixir do not exist in this world—this elixir contains a special energy, and this special energy.

Even stronger than psionic energy, fundamentally impossible to replicate. Most importantly, this special elixir and their mastered medical system are completely incompatible—indeed, it is something produced by another system entirely.

Therefore, in terms of medicine, Mengsk the Emperor has been completely outmaneuvered by Luode—if not using this special elixir,

then the cultivated super-warriors and Star-level warriors will still have a significant gap—at least in strength, explosive power, and speed, they cannot match Luode's newly developed StarCraft Warriors.

"No problem—I will prepare another hundred thousand of these pills for you shortly; should be enough for a period of time." Luode said.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Emo!" Mengsk the Emperor knelt on one knee before Luode and said. Actually, the technical department had still proposed an improvement plan to him—these warriors' physical qualities are extremely strong; perhaps in the future, some dissection experiments could be conducted, extracting some of their organs.

Let ordinary human soldiers first use the Apocalypse Virus elixir to gain immense vitality, then undergo special surgery to transform them into StarCraft Warriors.

These warriors, whose organs were removed, thanks to the terrifying regenerative ability of the Apocalypse Virus, will soon be fine and can continuously supply the Empire with new organ materials.

But warriors transformed this way—do they truly match the original in strength?

Now, scientists dare not give a definite answer—everything requires experimentation to determine.

At the same time, the Yumo Ang region was also attacked by the Imperial Army, though this time the newly transformed StarCraft Warriors did not join the battle.

The Empire achieved a perfect victory—the ModBerlien battlecruiser was heavily damaged, even nearly capturing the Blade Queen Kerrigan, but unfortunately, she still escaped.

However, the Ghost agent Nova captured a big fish—Jim Raynor—truly miraculous; this Lord Emo had said upon arriving here that he would capture Jim Raynor.

Unexpectedly, it came true—could the other party have some special precognitive ability? At this moment, Mengsk became even more curious about Luode's abilities.

In the following days, the StarCraft Warrior army began continuous expansion: first, they underwent Apocalypse Virus elixir transformation, then consumed the special elixirs provided by Luode, and finally were equipped with the latest powered armor developed by the Empire.

After a few days, these ghost agents returned and found that, as the ace unit, they seemed to have been replaced by another army.

Aside from the special concealment and infiltration of psionics, in terms of combat power, these ghost agents simply could not match these star warriors.

The entire situation of the human empire had changed.

"Lord Amon, this man is Jim Raynor, the arch-criminal and leader of the rebels. As you requested, I have brought him here to see you." That day, Mengsk brought the already captured Jim Raynor to the room where Luode resided.

"Good, he is Jim Raynor, right?" Looking at the disheveled-bearded uncle before him, Luode revealed a playful smile.

This guy's actual age should be in his thirties, right? He looks a bit anxious! When I played the game without knowing the background back then, Luode even thought this guy was in his forties or fifties!

After all this fuss, it turns out the one who likes fresh meat is the Blade Queen Kerrigan! At this moment, Jim Raynor, who was brought into the room, also wore a look of surprise! Who is this person? Who is this person exactly? I have never seen this guy before. Mengsk, Mengsk actually shows such reverence to a person—what is going on? Is this still the Mengsk I know? "Mengsk, what trick are you playing? I tell you, I will absolutely not yield to you." Jim Raynor spoke.

Mengsk completely ignored Jim Raynor's meaning, bowed to Luode, then gave Jim Raynor a mysterious smile and directly turned and left.

In Mengsk the Emperor's view, Jim Raynor falling into Amon's hands would not end well.

During this period, Lord Amon has been strengthening his human army, and now the star warriors have been fully established.

Such a powerful army was directly handed over to me, and he even promised me that, in the future when fighting the Blade Queen Kerrigan, he would also send a special army to support me.

Unintentionally or intentionally, Lord Amon also admitted to me that he is that Xel'naga, or even that he created the Zerg race and taught the Protoss civilization various wisdoms.

Such a powerful being, such an immortal being, taking notice of me—Mengsk can also be like those legendary beings.

Living for several thousand years or even tens of thousands of years—this is simply the supreme glory; I want to become the eternal emperor.

As for you, Jim Raynor, my friend, you are a true hero, but true heroes often do not have a good ending.

I very much look forward to seeing you tormented by this lord into an inhuman shape.

"Jim Raynor, right? I want to play a game with you." After Mengsk left, Luode smiled and looked at Jim Raynor and spoke.

"Oh! Hehe! But please don't make it too stimulating a game—I can't handle that kind of game. What do you want to do? Want to threaten Sarah with me? Don't even think about it." Jim Raynor spoke.

"What do you expect for the future? I plan to remodel you, then let you personally deal with Sarah Kerrigan, that is, the Blade Queen." Luode spoke.

"Don't even think about it—I will absolutely not help you deal with Sarah. Drop that idea! If you have the guts, just kill me." Jim Raynor snorted coldly and spoke.

"Oh! This is not up to you. I guarantee you that the next time the Blade Queen sees you, she will surely be furious to the point of explosion." Luode spoke with a smile.

To fight Sarah Kerrigan to the death, Luode plans to thoroughly enrage this Blade Queen.

One day later, on the Imperial Television Network, Mengsk the Emperor conducted a star-wide live broadcast to all star sectors and all planets of the empire.

At this moment, Sarah Kerrigan was waiting for Jim Raynor's retreat. She had just commanded a swarm unit and destroyed a human anti-air cannon.

"Jim, you idiot, where are you? I've already taken care of everything for you—you just need to show up in front of me." Sarah Kerrigan anxiously muttered to herself.

She knew Jim Raynor dislikes her becoming Zerg again, so she only used these Zerg warriors briefly, then immediately withdrew and returned to her own spaceship.

"Citizens of the empire, I proudly announce to you a piece of news! A piece of exciting news!" Mengsk the Emperor said proudly, and the reporters below burst into applause.

At this moment, Mengsk the Emperor is no longer a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, but a youth who looks about twenty years old.

"You have also seen the changes happening to me, haven't you? Correct, the empire has developed a new generation of gene medicine—using it can extend our lifespan.

As your emperor, I am the first to use this product, because I want to test its safety for you.

Only after I confirm this medicine is safe will I recommend it to all my citizens." Mengsk the Emperor spoke.

"You actually became younger? But I will eventually kill you, Mengsk." Sarah Kerrigan snorted coldly and spoke.

Is it just about becoming younger and extending lifespan? In the Zerg's eyes, this kind of genetic engineering project is nothing—any brood mother or queen can live for several hundred or even thousands of years without problem.

"We have established a powerful star warrior army. They are the first batch of imperial transformants, and among this batch of transformants, a new member has joined us. He has seen the error of his ways, repented of his past sins, and turned from darkness to light.

He has decided to help justice, to fight for the holy god's Terran Empire.

And I, Mengsk the Emperor, have pardoned all his sins. Let us welcome the commander of the star warrior legion, Mr. Jim Raynor." Mengsk clapped, a man about three and a half meters tall.

Wearing a blue tin-can armor, a resolute-faced man appeared before everyone. His physique is extremely tall and sturdy—this is absolutely not a normal human physique.

Like those star warriors newly transformed by Mengsk the Emperor, he looks strong and powerful.

"I pay my respects, great emperor! Star Warrior Legion Commander Jim Raynor reports to you, for the empire." The now-small-giant Jim Raynor came before Mengsk the Emperor and performed a standard military salute. (End of chapter)
