Chapter 159: Doomsday Prophecy (2)
It was the UED fleet that intercepted him, of course. Zeratul did feel a little caught off guard when he was kicked out of the jumping space, but the Sarnagar battleship he was riding on reacted quickly and immediately entered a combat posture.
But the UED fleet does not seem to have malicious intent. Yang Yi could see through Zeratu's perspective that the battleships surrounding the Void Seekers were about to have at least twenty warships, in addition to the Viper-class destroyers mentioned by A6 earlier, there were several other unknown types of ships, especially two ships that were obviously capital ship level in size, not to mention ships of five or six hundred meters, probably because they were afraid that Zeratu would drive the ship to kill them, so they sent the entire fleet. The ships did not attack the Void Seekers in the first place, but instead sent a connection request.
Zeratul couldn't figure out the intentions of these humans, but at the moment, he was obviously at a disadvantage, and he was kicked out of the folding space for no reason, and probably couldn't go back in a short time, so it was better to talk to those humans first, and at the same time find a way to escape.
After the connection was successful, a screen full of snowflakes appeared on the communication screen, and a low mechanical voice came into Zeratul's headβthe star spirit seemed to have no ears: "Hello...... Zeratul, right? β
"Who are you, human? Why ......"
"I am the commander of this fleet, a human general." The human commander on the other side didn't say his name, "We stopped you just to warn you...... Remind you that someone is following and watching you, so be on the lookout. There are many people who are looking for prophecy, and besides you and the swarm, there are others who are also looking for the revelation of Sarnagar. β
ββ¦β¦ Who? β
"I can't say it directly. It's not that I really want to hide it from you, because I think you should be able to see them soon. The person on the other side seemed to sneer, "But that's not my business, Star Spirit." Cherish the time you're still alive......"
"Okay, my people have lifted the interception net, and you can leave the Star Spirit with peace of mind. If you still want to live, you'd better be careful. β
It was an almost meaningless conversation, and it was just a small episode in Zeratul's journey, and Zeratul felt confused, but he didn't take it too seriously. Because he would have chosen to follow that illusory prophecy no matter what, it would have been the same for him if there was a Blade Queen or two Blade Queens to intercept him. But for Yang Yi, this episode reveals a lot of information...... There is still trouble.
Since he can't see any identification of this fleet through Zeratul's perspective, he can only speculate that this fleet is also part of the UED, which means that the UED at least has an independent ship technology tree that is completely independent of the various forces in the Koplu Star Zone, and it does have the ability to intercept the Star Spirit ships - it is not surprising that the second-generation reflex engine commonly used by human ships in the Koplu Star Sector is borrowed from - or pirated - from the Star Spirit's refolding technology, which can stop the Empire's warships, Intercepting the Star Spirit shouldn't be a big deal...... Probably.
And then the most critical question is...... What is that commander reminding? In addition to Queen of Blades and Zeratul, is there anyone chasing the prophecy of Aurus? But what does this have to do with Zeratul? Having the same goal does not necessarily mean that there is a hostile relationship, unless the two parties have their own reasons for hostility against each other......
Thinking about it, Yang Yi could only think of Tadarin, or Emon's power. The Empire is neither aware of nor interested in the prophecy of Sarnagar, and Daram and Saguras have Zeratul on their side, and it is impossible for them to be hostile to Zeratul - but there are indeed different attitudes towards Zeratul within the Star Spirits.
As for why Aemon's forces wanted to pursue the prophecy...... Probably because he didn't want Zeratu to succeed, so he planned to destroy it in advance? Like the Zakur thing?
That's all the conclusions that can be drawn from this episode for the time being, Yang Yi put these questions behind him first, and continued to look at these memories left by Zeratul.
The next memory is that Zeratul went to Zakur to ask for the help of the Protector, and then found that the Protector in Zakur was imprisoned by the Hybrid, and the local Astral Force was also corrupted, so he set up a forward base of his own and summoned Saguras's Astral Reinforcements to help kill the Hybrid and rescue the three Protectors.
"We read the prophecy in your head, Zeratul. We'll do our best to decipher it. β
"The cycle of reincarnation will end, the shapers of the stars will transcend their creation, and the fallen will leave ......"
"It will envelop the void with shadows......"
"It all began with the Devourer of Giants and ends in the ...... of Endless Darkness"
"However, when the light blooms on the ark of yesteryear, the fate of the stars will forever be shrouded in mist......"
"Devourer of the Giant, Ark...... Is it the Juggernaut and the Ark ship? Does this prophecy have anything to do with them? Zeratul's speculation echoed in his mind, "I must go to the place where the Lord and the Ark are buried. Our Ancient Home...... Al. β
Zeratul informs Daram to send reinforcements to Zakur to protect the three protectors in the area, and then returns to the Void Seekers and sets sail for El. He had too many doubts in his heart, and he also had a premonition that the prophecy he was pursuing might not be far from him.
The last sentence, the prophecy, was mentioned by Zeratul when they first met. He said he saw the fulfillment of the first prophecy, which was called "the glory of the former ark," but what did it mean that "the fate of the stars will forever be shrouded in fog"? Could it be that he is really talking (scolding) that he is a-stirring stick?
Yang Yi suddenly had the urge to run to Aurus and reason about it - why do you say I'm a-stirring stick?
He didn't encounter any trouble on the way to El, but when he arrived at El, it was just when Yang Yi was brought by Black Rose to El to fuse the pride of Otaris. It was the first time the two sides met, and then they parted ways. Zeratul continues on to El to investigate the Juggernaut's tendrils.
There's not much to say about the Juggernaut's memory. The poor guy was used by Emonon from the start, and the entire swarm was corrupted by Emon. Later, it wanted to resist, and it probably saw that Eamon's plan was successful and that it would not have any good fruit to eat, and it happened that Kerrigan was thrown down by Monsk, so he simply captured her and transformed her into the Queen of Blades to try to rely on her to get rid of Eamon's control. As a result, before the plan could succeed, it was blown up by Tassadar itself.
Unable to read the Master's memories, Zeratul approached the Juggernaut's remains, and then ran into Tassadar, the illusion of Aurus. Aurus bitterly told Zeratu that Kairigan was the key, but Zeratu said that I didn't listen to me - in fact, Yang Yi can also understand that a good enemy has become a savior, who can easily accept this? As a last resort, Aurus showed Zeratul a video of the end that the Juggernaut had already seen...... Prophecy.
