346. Zeratul's Journey: Raid

60,000 light-years away from the galaxy where the Black Howling Dragon is located

The main planet of the Kamo people - Miral

It is a galaxy with five planets, one gas planet, and the home galaxy of the Camo people.

This galaxy is home to the largest semi-commercial and semi-military space station in the universe they know, and it receives nearly 10 billion visitors a year in human time.

In this piece of space, you can see all kinds of spaceships coming and going almost everywhere. Alien. and a variety of small business platforms. Mining platforms.

And on this day, this already lively galaxy welcomed a special guest.

[Please leave a specific course without a particular ship, repeat, please..." (public channel broadcast)

The system peacekeepers are speeding away, and at the same time, the nearest military fleet is returning to the galaxy's ports.

With the light of the leap, the dark-toned Protoss ship, the Void Seeker, appeared, accompanied by two armed cargo ships.

[Attention to all staff, the target ship has appeared, all ships enter the designated position, and lead the ship forward] (broadcast on public channel)

The Camo Receiver led the way, guiding Zeratul's ship to the station, while several frigates and small ships protected their course.

A few hours later, Zeratul's ship docked at the space station above Miral, where they were received by one of the top leaders of the Kamo Consortium.

"Welcome to Miral! Guests from afar! "The supreme leader of Kamo is welcoming Zeratul." I, Muto, on behalf of the Peace Council, welcome you!

With that, he held out his three-fingered right hand to Zeratul, and in response, Zeratul held out his right hand and held it with him.

For a moment, there was a sound of the shutter being pressed, and the cameras of countless reporters (or something similar) recorded this historic moment.

... Half an hour later...

Zeratul with a Dark Templar. A high-ranking Templar, led by the highest leader of the Camos, visits the space station, which they are most proud of.

"Trust me! Friend! If you need business services or dealings, we are definitely the best choice! ”

“... I'll tell God. ”

At this moment, everyone came to a huge conference room, and there were already people waiting in it.

A 'great rhinoceros' who can walk upright wearing heavy armor, belts and several medals - the supreme ruler and military officer of the Morse Empire. General, he is chewing something at the moment.

A creature in an 'overcoat', like a jellyfish, the head of the Dico Empire, slowly shook his tentacles

A humanoid creature dressed in purple and silver-rimmed robes, but with pointed ears and four eyes—the Purple Star Cult, Archbishop, nodded to Zeratul as he walked in.

"Those who are here are the main representatives of the [Peace Council] of the Empire, and this is our attitude towards you and the 'prophecy'."

"Who still believes that stupid prophecy? Hum! The jellyfish-type alien said. Ridiculous outsiders~"

"That can't be said, Führer Dillock Lane." Muto said. "Maybe it's just the wrong way we're looking, or..."

"What kind of magic does it take to find that? Call! Giant Horn Smo, the general of the Morse Empire sitting at the other end, exhaled two white breaths from his nostrils and said.

"Do you have anything to say? General Small? ”

"Nope!" Smalle said in his gruff voice. "I'll wait for the meeting to end!"

"Please don't pay attention to him, he always does."

"I can understand your skepticism and distrust." Zeratul said. "After all, we can't be sure of the truth of that 'prophecy'..."

"But for some reason, we have to go and confirm for ourselves..."

Even in the original world, Zeratul's travels were alone, and almost no one believed in him and the so-called prophecy of the end of the world.

Even if in the end, evidence of the existence of the prophecy of the end of the world has been found, there are still people who doubt and hate him.

He's long been used to...

"I don't need your trust or help, I just need a pass from the empire to confirm that I go to that place, that's all."

"That's nice, who knows if you have other purposes."

"You can't say anything, it's not good to be suspicious of everyone for no reason..."

At this moment, a space station staff member walked in with a nervous expression, whispered a few words in Muto's ear, and then retreated.

"Did something happen?" Zeratul asked.

"Don't worry, it's just a little thing that won't bother us..."

Rumble!

Before he could finish his sentence, a loud explosion was heard outside the door, and the lights above his head began to flicker.

"What's going on?!"

"Big... My lord, the bomb disposal experts failed to defuse the bomb! Another Kamo ran in and shouted, bleeding from his head. That's no ordinary bomb! And..."

"And what?!"

"And experts say there could be other bombs!"

"What? What does security do, why is there ..."

Rumble!

A second explosion occurred at the other end of the passage, and the sound of an explosion interrupted Muto's words.

"Quick! Arrange for personnel to evacuate! Drive the transport ship to the port! ”

With that, Muto turned around and forced himself to compose.

"I'm sorry for this, but for now, please evacuate to the port, and I'll give you an explanation later."

Led by the security guards who arrived later, the representatives of the major powers rushed in the direction of the port.

Zeratul, on the other hand, came to a place after the explosion and crouched down.

"It's... Explosive slime molds? Zeratul said, looking at the tiny yellowish powder on the ground. And some, the infernal saltpeter that contributes to its rapid value-added? ”

"Lord Zeratul, please hurry up and evacuate together, here..."

Suddenly, in the still intact passage, a yellow-green slime mold suddenly appeared, followed by a rapid redden.

Rumble!

In an instant, the flames of the explosion and the smoke quickly filled the passage.

"It's not purely technological."

Zeratul carried the dwarf Kamo out of the smoke, a blue ion shield enveloping them.

"[Explosive Slime Mold] may also be naturally produced in some extremely special planetary environments, but [Hell Saltpeter], which can multiply at a high speed due to its special magical properties, cannot exist in our universe."

"And where did all this stuff come from?"

Immediately, they began to contact the Protoss recorder who had come with them.

"Help me find out all the information about [Explosive Slime Fungus] and [Infernal Saltpeter] and send it to me." Zeratul said. "In the meantime, let the cargo ship with the magic books leave the port."

"Dark Sect, you..."

"Don't worry about me, I can come out." Zeratul interrupted. "Which books to protect."

"Understood"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the space station, explosions continued one after another, one ship after another left the space station port, and the leaders of the major empires also left the space station one after another.

After transporting the Kamo to safety, Zeratul returned to the space station that was exploding one after another... Then Muto's face turned white with fright when he heard the news.

"What are you guys doing?! How about letting such an honored guest go to the space station that is collapsing again?! ”

"But, Director Muto, this is Lord Zeratul himself..."

"That's why you let him in alone? Even if he could really use so-called magic to stop the destruction of the space station, then..."

At this time, a cold air suddenly came out of the various passages of the space station port, and a large amount of thin ice appeared, covering the ground and walls of the space station.

"How... What's going on? Muto asked, looking at the spreading thin ice. This... Is this, magic? ”

At this moment, on the other side, Zeratul was standing in the center of the space station, looking at the large amount of ice around him, and in his hand was a torn scroll.

[Long-lasting • Extreme • Spread • Penetrate - Frost Nova Scroll]

This was one of the three high-level magic scrolls that Black Howling Dragon had given him before he left, and I heard that Black Howling Dragon hadn't slept for days to get these things out.

Explosive slime molds are usually found in hot areas, usually green, but after activation, they will turn pale yellow and be extremely unstable, and may turn red and explode at any time.

Infernal Saltpeter can spawn it and make it extremely unstable.

At low temperatures, the [Explosive Slime Mold] can enter a dormant state, making it stable.

At the center of the spell release, Zeratul had a layer of ice covering his ion shield, and was surrounded by ice.

"At this temperature, [Explosive Slime Mold] should all go into hibernation, and if nothing else, the explosion will stop." Zeratul said. "This amount of [Explosive Slime Mold] can't be set up in a short period of time, so the target is not us..."

"It seems that this place is not as peaceful as imagined..."

A day later

After such an explosive event, the people on the home planet of Camo couldn't sit still.

On an important day, in front of an important guest and other leaders of the Empire, his iconic cosmic building almost became space junk above his head, and now it is still a huge ice lump (because he doesn't understand the principle of the explosion, he doesn't dare to thaw it), which is a naked slap in the face! (On the other hand, they also lost a lot of money.)

The few members of the Supreme Consortium Parliament, which had been constantly engaged in friction and intrigue in secret, united and assured the masses that the perpetrators would be arrested and brought to justice.

And the next day, when a new round of meetings was organized, at the beginning, the head of the Dirk Empire, Dylock Lane, stood up, pointed to Zeratul and said that it was done by the Protoss (the space station explosion).

Just before he could utter his pile of speculations and conspiracy theories, Zeratul pulled out a small glass box containing the Explosive Slime Molds in a steady state from the cube and placed it on the conference table.

In an instant, Führer Ryan was stunned.

Immediately afterward, Zeratul began to explain the nature of the [Explosive Slime Mold], its ecology, and the mechanism of its explosion.

After detonating the small piece of slime mold with the force of the impact and blasting a hole in the metal seat, Zeratul pulled out the fragment of the Infernal Saltpeter he had found on the space station.

"This particular slime can still be found in our universe, but these [Hell Saltpeter] can't be found on a planet..."

"Either you made a deal with the devil to get it, or you opened or found a portal to Purgatory or Hell and entered it to get it..."

"None of the Templars and I are [Spell School] or summoners, and our mastery of magic is only rudimentary, so it is impossible to obtain [Hell Saltpeter], and such a large number of [Explosive Slime Molds] that are almost all over the space station cannot be completed in a short period of time..."

"We... We don't know anything about magic, who knows if it's you..."

"Even if it's really what we call it, what about the motive?" Once again, Zeratul interrupted Führer Ryan. "Not to mention that we also have people on the space station, and on two of the ships there is a legacy of civilization..."

"There's no way we're going to destroy something that's almost all that is left of civilization in order to blow up a space station!"

Confronting him with a relic of civilization caught Führer Ryan off guard, his tentacles waving but speechless.

"I beg your pardon, Protoss Ambassador." Muto walked out and said. "Führer Ryan's words are always like that... Be aggressive. ”

"Let's shift the topic of the meeting back to the prophesied issue."

Under Muto's organization, the representatives of the empire resumed their discussions about Zeratul's search for the 'prophecy of the end times'.

However, on the way, there was always a hint on Führer Lane's face... Wrath?

Don't ask me how I can see emotions on a jellyfish's face, or where I get them
