Ever since he and Renault fought against the Zerg on the Astral Spirits' home planet El four years ago and helped the Astral Spirits escape, Zeratul has been pursuing an ancient prophecy about the return of the Bugs and Sarnagar over the years, impressed by the power of the Zerg.

He had a gut feeling that if he didn't get to the bottom of it, something terrible would happen!

For a long time afterward, according to the words of some ancient documents of the Star Spirits, Zeratu discovered that in this remote planet of Ulan, which had long been abandoned by the Star Spirits, there were actually some stone tablets that recorded ancient prophecies here?

That's why he came here today on a small Star Spirit Space Shuttle Ship, to this remote planet, trying to uncover the secrets that have been buried here for a long time......

"The arrival of the swarm was exactly as prophesied......"

In a large, dimly lit cavern, Zeratul muttered something as he watched the slab closely, using the glare from the green psionic blade on his right hand.

Sure enough, these are the things he has been pursuing.

Once he was sure, he began to read patiently, bit by bit, and his colleagues struggled to translate the obscure ancient words and abstract patterns on the slates.

"Then the Star Spirits, the first race conceived by God, rose up against them......"

"Now, create our Sarnagar...... It's coming back......"

"Are they coming back to save us......?"

“…… Or destruction? ”

That's all Zeratul knew from this slate.

Well, actually, this is just Zeratul's own guessing by himself relying on the pattern, as for the words, he doesn't know much about them!

Moreover, he also found that the information recorded on this stone tablet is actually not comprehensive, and it is estimated that it is only a part of the whole prophecy? Therefore, after carefully removing the slate, he planned to search for it in other temples, and scan and record all the other slate that recorded the prophecy and take it away.

Suddenly, when Zeratul was about to turn around and prepare to leave for other temples on the planet Ulan, several zerg stinging snakes appeared in the ruined temple caverns and attacked him.

"Hehehe......"

When Zeratul easily slashed the insects that stood in his way, a woman's low laugh came out in the darkness.

Then, as Zeratul followed the laughter, he noticed a woman with a pair of huge bony wings, covered in cuticle-like scales, and hair like bone spurs, but with a human body and a beautiful face, had stepped out of the darkness.

This person, Zeratul said that he knew it, and he knew it very well! At the same time, I gritted my teeth with hatred!

She is: the culprit of the destruction of countless creatures and planets, the new queen of the Zerg after the master was killed, the Queen of the Blades - Kerrigan!

"I knew you were going to come here eventually, Zeratul, and were you drawn to that prophecy too?"

Coming out of the darkness alone, Kerrigan smiled indifferently as he looked at the stinging snakes that had been hacked to death by Zeratul.

Although there were still many of her troops in the cavern, she was not prepared to summon them now, lest she too irritate the ancient Templar and Patriarch of the Dark Church.

As an existence deliberately created by the master, the Blade Queen Kerrigan who has been granted knowledge certainly knows why Zeratul came here, so after roughly knowing Zeratul's whereabouts, she came here in advance, came to this planet called Ulan to lay out, and planned to have a good talk with this old man who has a pivotal position among the star spirits.

Just now, the reason why she let a few stinging snakes out was nothing more than to let this old man fight for a while and dissipate the anger in the other party's heart.

"Your presence alone has defiled this sacred place, Kerrigan!"

It's a pity that Zeratu didn't want to listen to the words of this Zerg executioner who slaughtered countless living beings, and in the next second, he once again released the green psionic blade he had just recovered, preparing to attack the enemy.

"Didn't you hear that? Zeratul - the kind of whispering that comes from the stars? The whole galaxy will soon be a sea of fire......"

Kerrigan intended to convince the stubborn old man that she didn't need to look at the prophecy tablet at all, and knew much more than Zeratul knew from the tablet now!

In fact, this matter has to start from the time of the birth of the Lord......

Created by Eamon and endowed with the ability to think and learn, but without free will, the Zerg was in constant rebellion in the prison where the mind was imprisoned.

No one ever knew who was behind the scenes, but later, after discovering the human master, he finally found a good way to free the entire Zerg from Aemon's control, and that was to create the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan!

This magical being, created by Aemon, believes that only she can keep the Zerg away from the fate of slaves, and only she can prevent the cruel future that she foresees......

This is also the reason why Kerrigan is not blindly attacking Zeratul now, she knows more than the other party, and obviously hopes to cooperate with the star spirit with powerful ghostly power to resist the impending destruction fate!

As for the matter of cooperating with humans, she didn't dare to think too much, after all, she Kai Ruigan has killed countless billions of humans over the years, and this kind of hatred is almost boundless?

Besides, in the eyes of the Blade Queen Kerrigan, who has not yet regained her human memory, humans are too selfish and fickle, and their individual strength is too low and too low, so they are really not a good partner to work with!

Therefore, the Star Spirit Clan became her only choice!

And among the branches of the Star Spirit, the imam of the Dark Church of the Star Spirit of Nerazim, who is highly respected and open-minded, has become the only person she can talk to?

"Probably...... But you're afraid you won't have the life to see that time! ”

Seeing that the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, seemed to be alone in this place, without too many swarms to accompany him, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course, Zeratul would not have missed it!

If he really accidentally killed the queen of this swarm, wouldn't it be a great harm to the creatures of the Kpruk Zone?!

Therefore, he stopped talking nonsense with the big enemy in front of him, and directly raised the green psionic blade in his hand, and then a shadow raided, turning into a black mist, and at the same time, he instantly rushed towards the blade queen Kerrigan.

It's a pity that the Shadow Strike has just reached the front of the Blade Queen, and before Zeratul's psionic blade can swing down at the enemy's head, he is blocked in mid-air by the opponent's ghostic energy, and is fiercely pushed out by an invisible ghostic power field.

"Please! What was once a skirmish between us has now become meaningless! An unstoppable storm is coming! ”

"Zeratul, we don't have much time left, and now it's time to be united...... Fight together against the cruel fate of imminent destruction. ”

Blade Queen Kerrigan doesn't want to fight this stubborn old man of the Star Spirit, at least not right now!

She was afraid that if she accidentally beat the other party to death, wouldn't there be no room for relaxation? When the time comes, with her and the swarm under her, it is obvious that she will not be able to effectively fight against the terrifying existence that hides in the darkness and is always ready to destroy everything!

Because of this, just now, she didn't summon a swarm not far away, nor did she use a lethal skill, but only defended the opponent's attack and bounced it back.

"No!!"

Zeratul still stubbornly rejected the other party's proposal, he already had a lot of sins, how could he still join forces with the bugs? He hasn't forgotten what the star spirit's home planet, Al, fell!

If he really did what the other party said, then he Zeratu would really become the eternal sinner of all the star spirits.

Therefore, after being bombed in mid-air by the opponent's ghost shield, he disappeared in an instant again, and once again used his shadow attack skill, with the momentum of thunder, he used the shadow power of his whole body, and at the moment of disappearing and appearing, he waved his psionic blade and slashed straight towards the Blade Queen......

In the next second, a puff of shadow smoke reappeared, and Zaratul appeared on a rock in the distance, clutching his right arm in pain.

In the blow just now, he had successfully attacked and hit the Blade Queen Kerrigan, however, his own right arm was also severely damaged by the opponent's counterattack.

"It seems that fate cannot be changed after all...... The end will come eventually...... When it's my turn...... I will gladly accept ......"

Looking down at a ghostly bone wing that had been severed by the other party and slid to the ground, Kerrigan frowned a little frustratedly.

In this way, the negotiation and cooperation between the two sides has obviously failed, right?

Since the cooperation failed, it can be predicted: in the near future, the destruction of the entire galactic life, perhaps, is really inevitable?

So, after using his super regenerative ability to regenerate the bone wings, Kerrigan reached out to soothe his surroundings a little, and after those who were about to rush up and tear apart the enemy's swarm, he sneered and took one last look at the stubborn old man of the star spirit, and then turned and walked into the darkness.

For the fact that he couldn't reach a cooperation, Kerrigan didn't actually feel much sadness.

In the eyes of Kerrigan, who has not yet recovered his human memory, since they can't work together to struggle to survive in the face of the coming tragic fate, they should simply be destroyed by their destined fate......

Prophecy ...... Not absolutely! There will always be new hope......"

After seeing that the blade queen Kerrigan led her swarm into the darkness, Zeratul thought about it and resisted the idea of cooperating with the other party.

In fact, at that moment just now, he really believed the other party's words, just now, the other party obviously had the opportunity to easily take his own life, but she didn't do it ruthlessly......

Coupled with the fact that he had just seen the prophecy, and his own instinct that he had a premonition about it, the interstellar whispers?

Otherwise, he would not have spent a lot of time in the past few years searching for this ancient prophecy about Sarnagar's return.

But, at least for now, he still had a slight illusion that if he could get all the pieces of the Prophecy Slab together, maybe he could find some better way to save himself from destruction without cooperating with the Zerg?

"My mother! Lao Tzu just heard me right, right? We seem to be involved in some great event? ”

"The ancient prophecy of the Star Spirit? The destruction of the world? An unstoppable storm? The fate of Rausch's? Or the Milky Way turned into a sea of fire? What the hell were they two monsters talking about?! ”

In the bridge of the Führer's heavy battlecruiser after the Demon Change, Captain Planck shouted excitedly as he drank his wine.

It turned out that they had just used the reconnaissance magic engraved on the battleship by Führer Anne to use an invisible mobile True Vision Reconnaissance Guard to quietly follow the strange star spirit that landed on the planet Ulan, and then used the magic image in the bridge to see and hear the entire battle and conversation between the two of them just now through the vision provided by the Reconnaissance Guard!

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do now? Shall we get involved? You saw that too, right? The star spirit named Zeratul, who seems to be ready to collect all the prophecy tablets? ”

After watching the images conveyed in the reconnaissance guard screen for a while, Planck was a little uneasy!

According to the two men, a catastrophe that seemed to be able to sweep the entire galaxy was engraved on those prophecy tablets?

Then, think about the identities of those two people: one of them is the high-ranking of the Star Spirit Race, the Imam of the Dark Church? And the other one is even more remarkable! It's the Swarm's Blade Queen, Kerrigan? The identities of the other two are there, so they won't come here to act and play if they have nothing to do, right?

So, Planck thinks it's at least eighty percent likely to be true!

If you don't get involved and understand the details, you won't be able to do it, and then you will really have to end it with both eyes? He didn't want to die, still a fool!

"Hmm......"

Little Anne frowned, ignoring the drunken old man next to her.

She just hugged her bear and sat in the captain's chair with interest, squinting at the images of the scout guards coming back, not knowing what to think.

In fact, when Zeratul had just inspected the slate, she had already secretly asked the scout guard to scan it, and now she knew some of the contents of it.

It's nothing more than the kind of life creator named Sarnagar in this universe, ready to return to this universe again! Then, based on the conversation between the two men, it was not difficult for her to guess the meaning: it seemed that the returning Sarnaga intended to completely destroy the life created by them in this world?

Isn't this just like the Burning Legion in the world of Azeroth? It's the so-called Dark Titan or something, it is said, the boss of the great demon Akmund who was killed by the green-headed elves? What's it called? Seems to be Sargeras?

Tut! Little Anne herself didn't expect that in this world that seems to belong to the technology side, there would be such a creation titan-like thing?

If this is really the case, then this is in line with the great malice that little Anne faintly felt when she first came to this Kpru Star Zone!

By now, she had roughly understood the patterns, but she didn't understand much of the specific words on the slates.

It seems, the ancient language written by some kind of spiritual imprint is used on it?

If she wanted to interpret it further, she would have to get up close and personal with the stone tablets, and if she relied on the footage provided by the scout guards alone, she would only be able to understand the patterns in a general way.

But...... There seem to be a lot of bugs down there, so why don't you go down and make trouble?

"Darius, what do you think of those two?"

Galen's face was a little solemn and he continued to look at the image fed back by the reconnaissance guards, and the Zeratul, the warrior of the star spirit, was stealth, and all the way he was like chopping melons and vegetables to deal with the insects that stood in his way.

He didn't really care about prophecies or anything like that, and he didn't understand it!

He was more concerned about the Star Spirit Templar named Zeratul! That Star Spirit seemed to be very different from the ones they had fought on Haven Star before? Tough to deal with?

"I don't know about that female bug, but, that star spirit, he is indeed a terrifying opponent!"

Looking at the Star Spirit Warrior in the picture who killed a lot of bugs without damage, Darius's face was also a little unpleasant.

In the picture that was just sent back, the other party actually relied on the magic of stealth to play like a game, and hacked a huge thunder beast insect to death in three or two clicks?

This star spirit, whether it is the means of teleportation and surprise attack that turns into black smoke, or the skill of flickering and suppressing the enemy like that prison, makes Darius find it difficult to entangle!

What's even worse is that the other party even has that kind of skillful hand-to-hand combat skills and the ability to be stealthy throughout the whole process? If it's an existence like a bug that doesn't have a very high perception ability and IQ, I guess I don't know how it was hacked to death by the enemy, right?

"When the fight really starts, if there is no way to break the other party's stealth or perceive the existence of the other party, then I'm afraid that all the people in our two squads combined are not his opponents......"

This terrifying Star Spirit Warrior, if it is a tough one, Darius is not afraid!

But the other party not only has a weird attack method, but also can turn into black smoke for a short-distance raid or a long-distance flash, and more importantly, it can also maintain long-term stealth, which is impossible to fight......

Darius can imagine that if an ordinary human Marine faced this kind of opponent, under this strange assassination of the other party, how many lives would not be enough, right?

"If it's not far, I can force him out of invisibility, but ...... He'll flicker for a long time......"

Looking at the picture, a flicker crossed a cliff one or two hundred meters wide, Galen didn't know what to say.

Running fast, stealthy throughout the whole process, instantaneous raids, flashing long distances, and suppressing the opponent's ability to let himself slash and not fight back? It's just a hanging-like existence!

That is, now, if it were replaced by the time they used to be, without melee ability and special strength, it is estimated that how many people will not be enough for others to kill alone?

"Na! Galen, how many troops are in our ships? ”

Finally, Anne, who had been silent for a long time in the captain's seat, not knowing what she was thinking, finally spoke up at this time.

After thinking about it again, she thought, anyway, now they are able to advance and retreat freely, and they have a battleship on the track to be stealthy and standby, and they can teleport back at any time, and they are not afraid of being beaten by the swarm? In this way, it seems that you can really go to the ground to stir up the situation, and see if you can 'borrow' a few prophecy tablets that the star spirit has managed to collect?

"Army, army?"

Hearing his own Annie's little Führer's question, Galen was stunned, could it be that their Führer was going to fight with the bugs and the star spirits?

"Report to the Führer: On this Führer battleship, in addition to our twenty-man Führer Guard, there are currently only three hundred marines, two heavy siege tanks, and ten of the first Viking fighters in trial production!"

As a captain and military commander of the Führer's Guard, Galen was obviously quite aware of the armament of the Führer's battlecruiser.

These are all troops that they can put into the landing operation at any time, and the security personnel, guards, and other crew members on the other warships are not counted for the time being.

"Why are you so manpower......

She frowned her cute little brow again, and when she found out that there were only so many troops on this battleship, Anne muttered very dissatisfiedly, she had always thought that there could be at least a few thousand people on this battleship!

But who would have thought that such a small number of combat troops would be installed? In normal times, she looks at this battleship quite big......

"Forget it! Go now, get the Marines all dressed, and later, let's go to the surface of this planet and have fun! ”

With that, she jumped out of her seat as well.

If she needed to get to the ground, she seemed to have to go back and change into her ghost suit that she hadn't worn in a long time.

"Yes!"

There is a fight, and now this Demon Modified Führer battleship has the ability to teleport back and forth with individual soldiers, just like the warships of the Star Spirits, so Galen will definitely not be intimidated.

————

"This is already the last fragment of the prophecy, Karas, our mission will soon be completed......"

Zeratul looked at the last Templar altar in front of him and said happily to the high-ranking Templar who had suddenly teleported down to help him.

He had fought forcibly for so long before, despite the injury on his arm, and now, it was finally time for him to be rewarded!

As long as they know all the stone tablets and their contents, perhaps, they will know how to resist the terrible fate of destruction?

"Imam Zeratul, take off the slate, I see that the bugs seem to have followed......"

High Templar Kalas wasn't overjoyed, instead looking worriedly into the darkness in the distance, where there seemed to be a faint hissing of the swarms, and they ...... I'm afraid I'll find this place soon, right?

"The last fragment of prophecy...... It mentions a man who will 'break the cycle of the gods'?! ”

Taking the tablet off, Zeratul looked at it for a moment, unable to understand what it meant.

Break the Cycle of Gods?!

What is Circulation? Why is it looping? Who can break it? What does it have to do with the impending destruction? Then, who is this person who breaks the cycle?!

"Imam Zeratul, can't even you decipher the exact contents of these tablets?"

Karas was a little surprised, couldn't even the elder patriarch be able to interpret this prophecy? So what's the point of all the effort they had done before, and the sacrifice of so many samurai?

"Some of the handwriting is blurred, while others are ancient...... Perhaps, we need the wisdom of the Guardians......"

After recalling the contents of the tablets he had seen earlier, Zeratul shook his head helplessly, his knowledge was not enough to completely deconstruct them.

"Kerrigan, come out, I've found you!"

After putting away the slate, Zeratul suddenly straightened his face, swung his psionic blade, and coldly shouted at a high ground in the distance.

He had already sensed the fluctuation of Kai Ruigan's ghost energy just now, and the other party was behind that high ground!

"Perhaps, you can learn all the implications of the prophecy, Zeratul!"

"However, since you have refused to cooperate, you will not be able to escape the fate that awaits you and will eventually be destroyed together......"

The Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, sneered and walked out of the darkness to the high ground, looking condescendingly at the thirty or fifty Templars and Zeratul in the distance, beside the temple below.

"Why don't you gladly accept your death? Since, it is already a doomed ending...... Your revolt...... What's the point? ”

Now that she has no expectations for cooperation, she also wants to know the specific contents of the slate that Zeratu obtained.

After all, survival is the instinct of all living beings! Therefore, she also wanted to find a concrete way to survive herself and her Zerg in the next catastrophe from these prophecies.

So, obviously, defeating and killing Zeratul now, and then snatching those tablets from them, is her best and only option at the moment!

"Come out, my pets, crush them!"

In the next second, the soft gravel ground behind Kairigan began to tremble, and then countless insects that had been ambushed here in advance, those large number of stinging snakes, small dogs, and even several huge thunder beasts, all emerged from the ground......

"We're outnumbered! Imam Zeratul, get out of here with the Prophecy Fragments, and I'll help you stop the Queen of Blades!" ”

High Templar Calas found that not only the temple they were in, but also farther away, in all directions, was filled with the roars of a large number of bugs?

The situation is already very clear, they are now completely surrounded by a large number of insect swarms!

"I will never leave you! Brothers! ”

Seeing that Karas, a heroic high-ranking warrior, wanted to fight against Kairigan alone, Zeratul immediately became anxious, he knew that the other party was simply sending him to death by doing this!

"Prophecy is more important than any of us, and this secret must be solved, Zeratul! It is our future! ”

If they flee together, the final result is likely to be to die together!

Because Kalas knew that under the siege of the swarm, except for Sect Zeratul, who could easily escape with his stealth and flickering abilities, the rest of the people were just a bunch of burdens......

Since this is the case, then he has to make the final contribution to the other party, dragging this blade queen, and giving Sect Zeratu a better chance of escaping?

"Psionic Storm!!"

After saying that, and without waiting for Zeratul to react, Kalas led the last thirty or so remaining Zealots Templar to form a thin two-line formation in front of the path that the swarm rushed down.

"Let's go! Imam Zeratul! ”

Then, under the protection of the Templars, he immediately floated behind the array, and began to activate the ghostly power of his body, causing the lightning storm to focus on the path of those stinging snakes and puppies, forming a large cloud of ghostly lightning, shattering all the bugs that dared to plunge headlong into the storm area......

"Your sacrifice will go down forever...... My brother. ”

Yu Yu sighed, Zeratul, who knew the seriousness of the matter, tightened the backpack on his body, and then turned around and prepared to run in one direction on the other side.

Wait a minute...... That's not right! Why did someone teleport down again?!

Zeratul, who had just run a few steps, had to stop again when he found something at this time. Because, his sensitive perception found that on the flat ground not far away, there was a strong teleportation fluctuation of the Great Legion?

Could it be the new Star Spirit Troop? How is this the case, so many clansmen have been sacrificed, and there are still people who are teleported down from space to die?! Are their commanders all crazy?!

Sou! Sou! Sou!

After a series of transmitted blue lights and strange noises dissipated, both the Star Spirits and the Blade Queen Kerrigan who stood on the high ground to watch the battle all discovered this group of newcomers who had newly entered the battlefield.

"It's ...... Human troops?! ”

To Zeratul's surprise, it was not their star spirit clan that teleported down, but three large phalanxes of neat human marines?

Their number, it seems, was about three hundred, except for the first row of twenty Marines with cold weapons on their backs and a small ghost in gold and red paint, behind them, it seemed that there were three black-armored Marines of a whole hundred-man team?

And look at the armor in the hands of each of their phalanx standard-bearers, on that battle flag, it turned out to be the bear head of a burning flaming hideous giant bear?!

This...... What exactly is this force of human troops? What do they want to make a fuss about appearing here at this time?

Moreover, why did he Zeratul wander for so many years and never see such a human flag?

Which country do they belong to? Is it the Yumojian Protectorate? The most powerful of the Tyranid Empire? Or the Kemorian consortium? But it doesn't seem to be either? Is there a new force emerging from humanity?!

And, most importantly, when did humans master their Star Spirit's proprietary individual teleportation technology?! Aren't they only a simple kneading technique between warships?

After all, in the case that the individual ghost energy level is not up to the requirements, the difficulty and threshold of the technique are clearly there! How exactly did they break through the technical difficulties and teleport directly over long distances on vulnerable human beings? Aren't you afraid of tearing their bodies apart directly when you teleport?
