Chapter 15: A New Life in Phoenix

We often talk about "someday", but in fact, the real meaning is "never".

At this time, three months have passed since the official establishment of Darlam, with the integration of resources and the compromise of various forces, the government has developed in an orderly manner, but Artanis clearly knows that all this is temporary, and the opposition has always existed, whether it is the Elstar Spirit or the Mother of Naira, the extremists of race and faith will not sit idly by and watch Darlam continue to develop, just because of the current pressure from the leaders, and the threat of the Insect and the Queen of Blades. If time permitted, Artanis would have let it go, because he believed that with the development of Duram and his growing power, all conspiracies would be dissolved, but this was destined to be wishful thinking, and even if nothing happened, after four years, the insects would make a comeback, and this four-year development period was both an opportunity for the conspirators and an opportunity for him, even if it required bloodshed.

"My hands will be stained with the blood of my countrymen, and even if I will go to hell after death, I will crawl out and bathe in the light", his whisper drifted over the deserted mountain peaks, carried away by the wind.

Zeratul still chooses to travel, to explore the hybrid and the existence behind it, and try to find the guidance of the creator god Sarnagar, who originally wanted him to stay, but in the end he was allowed to leave due to the potential threat. Atanis gathered the remaining fleet and the air power of Naira and his mother to form the Golden Fleet, the fleet commanders were Yurlan and Tabrenas, but in everyone's surprise, he arranged Tyras as a prosecutor to balance the two El Star Spirits, "The composition of the army in the future is like this, let the clan integrate, this is the way to go", in fact, he wants to bring Tyras under his control, at least he can't be completely laissez-faire, and at the same time, he can also give the other party a chance to a certain extent, But if the other party is still obsessed, then what awaits him will never be a remedy in the original time and space, but a thunderous blow.

"Phoenix, how do you feel?" In the lab, Atanis asked his old friend, and next to him stood several members of the Council of Bishops, who looked at the Templar standing in the center with strange and admiring eyes, no, to be exact, the Immortals. Due to the fall of the El, many technologies have been lost, including the Dragonknight, which was only caused by the astral spirits giving the Templars a chance to re-enter the battlefield with their bodies damaged and their souls alive. After Phoenix suffered a counter-attack from Kerrigan, the Dragon Knight's body was once again damaged, and in order to prevent his soul from dissipating, Artanis had no choice but to put him into a static cage and put him into a deep sleep. Luckily, Phase Technician Kelarx has redesigned a new type of mecha based on the characteristics of the Stalker and the existing Dragon Knights, adding barrel firepower to the Dragon Knights, and developing a psionic shield to protect the body from damage to the greatest extent.

"Uh... I", Phoenix turned, his upper body was largely preserved from other modified dragon knights, due to his exploits and his special status in the Elstar Spirit, "I feel great, full of power", he said, he turned on the light shield and tentatively activated the turret on his shoulders, "Hey, that's cool", and even used human adjectives in excitement.

"Welcome back, Phoenix", Yurlan saw his old friend standing in front of him intact, and had mixed feelings for a while, he had missed the opportunity to fight side by side with his old friend, and even thought that his old friend had passed away one after another, and he was relieved to see the rise of Atanis and their young Zhuang faction, and at the same time, he was also feeling that his time had passed, and at this time, Phoenix's rebirth was particularly valuable to him, which proved that the Elstar Spirit had not abandoned the glory of the past, and that was enough, they old guys, It will also escort the newborn Dalam.

"Yurlan? I'm glad to see you, yes", he seemed to remember something, and turned to Atanis, "How's it going, Executive, is Kerrigan defeated?" Do insects repel them? And the guys at UED... ”

"No, Phoenix", Nahan spoke, but did not answer his question immediately, "You should call Artanis an archbishop, the executive is already in the past"

"Uhhhh Damn, what the hell am I missing? Seeing his madness, everyone present laughed without the slightest sympathy

"Okay, I'll tell you that later, Phoenix, do you like your new body?"

"I like it, but can I take these tubes off?"

"No hurry, Kelax, what's going on?"

"Archbishop, the data is stable, there is no abnormality in the organism"

"Congratulations, Phoenix, from today onwards, you will be Phoenix the Immortal"

"Immortals? I love the title."

"This is not just a title, it indicates that the heroic soul of our star spirit will eventually be immortal, and your dragon knight has been changed to an immortal by us."

"That's good, this body is more powerful than the Dragon Knight, and I can't wait to kill the insects."

"The insect has faded for the time being, there is something more troublesome than the insect alien, let's get out of here first, go to the Star Spirit Light Fortress"

An hour later, the Council Tower, Atanis told his old partner about Zeratul's discovery and his speculation, and at the same time, he also briefly introduced the current situation of the star spirit, and Phoenix sighed with emotion, "Atanis, I still remember the scene when you apprenticed to Tassadar, at that time you had already shown your talent, but you were still very young, but your subsequent growth is remarkable, Tassadar has a successor, if he is still alive, he will be proud of you"

"No, I haven't done enough relative to the greatness of my teacher"

"Don't be presumptuous, not everyone has the courage to embrace light and shadow at the same time, the power of purification and void can only be mastered by you and Tassadar, which already reflects your extraordinary, not to mention, you have gone further than him, fused into a new power, and no one is more suitable than you to be our new leader", Phoenix looked at him with a little admiration, "The unity and future of the star spirit will shine in your hands"

"I'm going to try, but," the archbishop muttered, "Phoenix, I remember that you went to a special place before you returned to El"

"Well, yes, Ardaris sent me to the Cyborus to restart the Purifier project, however, I received the news of the attack of the insects shortly after I went, and at the same time, I was afraid that the Purifier would not be controlled, so it was temporarily stopped, what, you think?"

"No, I don't want to continue the research of the Purifiers", sensing the other party's disapproval, he did not hide his thoughts, "The research of the Purifiers itself is not ethical, we all know this, but there are still a large number of Purifiers who have been sealed, and they were once warriors in the history of our Star Spirits, and now, the Star Spirits are facing a difficult situation, I think, we need their help"

"But they rebelled before, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't rebel again," Nahan hesitated, and it was difficult for him to accept them.

"No, that's because we still treat them as artificial machines, in fact, they already have an independent personality, and can think independently, they can be called a life, they just want equality and respect", Atanis's next sentence completely shocked everyone, "So, if they join us, then, I will give them a new identity, in the name of a faction, such as the current Kara Star Spirit and the Mother of Nairaqi"

"What?"

"This?"

"Are you serious?" Phoenix stared at him fixedly

"Yes, I recognize them, become my compatriots, and swear by my honor"

"I don't know if that's what you really think, but if that's what you're asking, then I'll take you to find the Cyberborus."

"No, we need to go somewhere before that", Artanis' eyes curled up slightly at the thought of a scene that was about to happen, it must be interesting.
