Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Power of Zerus
The power of the four primordial swarm lords was vested in Kerrigan, and the final step of the physical ascension ritual was to summon the power of Zerus and absorb the essentia of the oldest insect Zurwin, a powerful primordial insect that had existed since the time of Emmon's creation master.
Ignis took out the instruction booklet given by Horus and said, "Hmm...... According to the instructions given by Lord Horus, you will need to enter the first hatching pool on Zerus to absorb the power of the planet, then lure Zurwin and kill him. ”
"Sounds simple."
"Simple?" Ignis pointed to the sketch Horus drew from memory on the booklet and said, "This Zulwin is not easy to deal with, he looks like a biological titan, should we apply for some titans to deal with him?" ”
"Nope." Kerrigan said confidently, "I can deal with him, now I have surpassed the Blade Empress of the past, and it is easy to deal with a so-called Worm Ancestor." ”
"Then let's head to the hatchery to save as much time as possible, and Lord Horus is still waiting for us at Keha." Zemol, who was tending to the power sword on the side, said.
Walking through the densely wooded rainforest, repelling multiple attacks from primordial insects along the way, Kerrigan and his party finally reached the first hatching pool on Zerus.
"This is the first hatching pool of the swarm, and it looks like it has a little more energy than a normal hatching pool." Kerrigan stood by the pool and commented.
"It's much more than that, Ms. Kerrigan." Organizing his staff, Ignis's eyes have been dyed blue by psionic energy, "This hatching pool connects to the core of the planet Zerus, and the power of the planet is in it, this is another miracle created by Sarnagar." ”
"It's not a good idea to go into the hatchery." Renault looked at the hatching pool with some anxiety, if Kerrigan entered this pool that looked like stomach acid and would turn into the Queen of Blades again, would his previous efforts be in vain?
Kerrigan leaned over to Renault and held his face and said, "Listen Jim, if I want to be Sarnagar, I have to do it, it's my only choice." ”
Renault was silent for a moment, then said, "Whatever you do, I will support you." ”
After receiving Renault's assurance, Kerrigan walked down to the hatching pool, where the green water gradually submerged Kerrigan's body, and when she finally reached the center of the hatching pool, the liquid in the hatching pool was already up to her chest.
"I warn you, Kerrigan, that it is very dangerous to gain the power of Zerus, and you can't go back once you start, are you really sure?" Ignis reminded.
"I'm pretty sure." Kerrigan nodded firmly, "No matter how dangerous it is, I'll hold on." ”
Seeing that Kerrigan had made up his mind, Ignis began to induce the force from Sarnagar in the hatching pool, and a huge egg quickly enveloped Kerrigan, and then began the hatching process.
"Hold the gun steady, warriors, the primitive insects are watching the hatching complete, and we must protect the eggs of Kerrigan during this period." Zemol pulled out the ion pistol at his waist, and the space marines from the War Dog Legion around him were ready to fight, ready to crack the heads of the insects that rushed at them.
