Chapter 21: The Truth in the Mist (10) (2-in-1 Revised Chapter)
Two weeks ago, Sacoolas
"It seems that the insects have realized that something is wrong", Atanis looked at the latest report inside the fortress of New Antioch, "according to our detectors, there are a large number of insects scattered around the temple, and the two brainworm groups we defeated are among them, however, I suspect that these insects are the bait that Kerrigan has abandoned."
"Chances are, judging by her reciprocal personality, if you give her a hard time, she'll definitely have to play with you before leaving, or at least make the game a little more difficult," Phoenix said with a little humor
"Well, women are stingy, aren't they?" , Renaud was a little embarrassed, after all, this was something that the woman he once loved did did, even if it had nothing to do with him, he felt ashamed of the star spirit.
"Hey, bro, it's none of your business", Zeratul was aware of Renault's mixed feelings towards Queen of Blades, "she's not a human anymore, and, with her executioner's performance, you'll have to sort out your emotions, or you'll suffer a lot sooner or later"
"Okay, I need to think about it, thank you for your concern, Zeratul"
Atanis watched all this, and he was relieved that his companions had never given up on their fighting spirit, which was good, "Alright, guys, we need to activate the power of the temple and make Sacoolas clean again"
"Now that the temple is surrounded, it's not easy for you to get closer, right?" , Phoenix raised concerns, "We need to clean up the surrounding insects, but our forces are not superior", due to the loss of the El portal again, the insects continue to come from the El, including the brain worm also came, the situation is not optimistic.
"It's okay, Phoenix", Artanis said confidently, unlike the plane, he has mastered the power of the Void, and Shadow Walking is his signature skill, "I'll infiltrate with Zeratul and the Dark Templars"
"Huh? I've forgotten about that, to be honest, it's really convenient to listen to this ability", Phoenix really showed a look of envy on his face
"If you want to learn, I can teach you", Zeratul would love to have one more Templar like this
"Uhhhh Forget it, I'm not a genius like Tasadar and Artanis, the Kara Way is enough for me to practice, I don't want to mess myself up"
"That's a shame," the Dark Sect's disappointment overflowed
Phoenix shuddered coldly, the star spirit did not have cold and heat, but he still felt that he should stay away from this perverted old god stick in the future, so as not to be fooled that day and not find his way home.
"Thrandis, you and Phoenix feint the insects from the front to attract the insects' attention for us, Jimmy, please oversee the entire battlefield, you will be a backup force"
"Yes, Executive"
"Okay, dude, look at me"
After a standard hour, the huge Star Spirit Carrier drove into the sky above the Worm, and countless wingmen began to fly up and down, and with each rotation, the Worm's air units were shot down. As the pirate ships begin to show their might, the Worm's anti-air defenses are temporarily thrown into psionic confusion, and Phoenix leads the Templars and Dragon Knights in an attack on the ground. The insects apparently knew the purpose of the star spirits, and they began to frantically block these star spirits.
"Alright, looks like it's time for us to strike," said the Executive, gesturing to Zeratul before falling into the shadows.
"What an awe-inspiring talent", every time Zeratul sees it, he will sigh at the mystery of fate, his hopeful Tassadar chose to die with the master in order to save the fate of the star spirit, Atanis he once dealt with is actually his disciple, and what is even more surprising is that this young excessive star spirit actually has a more outstanding talent than his mentor, and the purification and void are really unified in him, the gap that hinders the unity of Kara and Naira and his mother has disappeared, and a new era of the star spirit is coming. If Zeratu had watched Naruto, he would definitely have chanted the Child of Destiny just like Jiraiya.
"Dark Sect, we found a thunderbeast in the valley ahead, along with thousands of alien insect troops, which are clogging the valley mouth", said a Dark Templar.
"Oh? Looks like we're in trouble", this valley mouth is the nearest road to the temple, and if you take a detour, then you can only break through from the front.
"It seems that we think too simply, it's impossible to sneak into the temple without knowing it", in fact, it's also true, after all, the insect has fought with the star spirit many times, and the star spirit's routine is basically just that, after all, the insect is also a smart creature, so it's natural to be on guard.
"In that case, let's destroy them and reach the temple as soon as possible", Artanis clapped directly
However, things are not as they thought, the insect actually sent a reconnaissance unit like the eye worm to coordinate the defense this time, in its vision, Naira and its mother have nothing to hide, but it is the energy characteristics of Atanis, so that he can easily not be detected by the eye worm, this is a surprise, it seems that he needs to explore more of these characteristics.
However, even if there were difficulties, they still couldn't stop their footsteps, after the hard work to deal with the thunder beast, the other insects were no longer worried, and when they hit the road again, the team had been reduced by half, but the remaining star spirits had more determined eyes, this was their last home.
Atanis and Zeratul walked slowly up the steps of the temple from either end, and the temple's bare structure was in the shape of a pyramid, topped by a device resembling an energy-conducting emitter. Walking into the temple, it was as if he had stepped into another time and space, and as if he was in the original time and space, the executive knew that this was not an illusion, this was a higher void folding, and he could already perceive all this when he first set foot in the path of the void.
"Phoenix, Thrandis, listen up", he urgently contacted through Kara, "Zeratul and I are already in place, and while we channel the energy of the Temple, we must stop the insects from coming back, for the sake of El!" ”
As the words fell, he and Zeratul inserted the crystal into the groove above, and in an instant,
The entire temple was glorious at the top, and pillars of energy began to appear above the temple, directly connecting to the cosmic void. Artanis could clearly feel that the energy of the entire Sakulas, including the universe, was converging, and through the guidance of the two crystals, it turned into the power of purification and void, which was harmless to the astral spirits, but fatal to the insects.
As if sensing something, the insects on the front line began to attack the temple, and Reynolds' Hyperion was forced to join the battle, because the power of the star spirit alone might not be able to hold back the insects.
"Executive, can you hear me?" Thrandis tries to contact his mentor, but Atanis is at the heart of the power and Kara is disturbed.
"It's useless, the insects are crazy, we have to stop them, even if we die", Phoenix stopped the action of the actress spirit, "Now, it can only depend on fate"
In fact, the time to channel the energy was shorter than expected, the star spirit's defense line against the insects had collapsed, and the insects all over the sky poured towards the temple, and the pillar of light stopped absorbing energy, and then, before Artanis and Zeratul could react, they suddenly exploded, and the brilliance of the psionic energy spread to the entire planet, and the insects that were touched turned into ashes.
"It's so beautiful", the Dark Patriarch was distracted by the dazzling light, and when the light was gone, the whole land returned to its normal state, standing at the top of the temple, as far as the eye could see, and the Sacoolas under the twilight was extremely beautiful.
"Yes, it's the power of life, the power of the heart," Atanis said with a smile
