Chapter Eighty-Four: Treacherous
The shortest straight line between two points is something that is common to most common sense, but it is not something that anyone can do when it comes directly to battlefield raids.
After Isaac and Ilti teamed up to open the passage to the central room of the brood, Isaac laughed and patted Ilty's shoulder: "Little girl, I think you have a lot of ideas, learn to fight with me!"
Ilti gave Isaac a roll of his eyes: "I have Master's." My master is so much better than you!"
"What? You have a master? better than me? Who is it? Call out to see if I don't crush his eggs...... Alas!" Hades was kicked out by Anne again.
"Don't play tricks on the battlefield! the first day you saw her?" Anne glared at Isaac with round eyes.
"Oh, oh, oh, my dear Annie, your leg speed is fifteen percent faster than before, is it really because of the reason after seeing Xiao Ming? Ah, this is true love, this is the ...... of love" The White Yama King who was acting like a trick was not kicked away this time, but was directly stepped on by Annie in the face, and twisted it twice.
The rest of the people looked at it with a sore tooth, but Isaac jumped up after Anne collected his feet, and there was a shoe print on his face, but the expression on his face became more serious than anyone else: "We have arrived at the central hatchery, I can feel the spiritual power of the heart of the brood!"
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.
"The other party is waiting for us. It seems that we underestimated each other. I think they already knew what we were going to do when we landed on the brood, but it was confident. So don't make any defenses at all!" Xiao Ming, who has the eye of the soul, is naturally the one who knows the situation the most among everyone.
He wears a photon blindfold that reflects the red light of an electron. Looking at the glimmer at the end of the passage, "Let's go." It's not our hospitality to keep our hosts waiting too long!"
Everyone looked at each other until they reached the end of the glimmer.
At the end of the passage, I turned a corner and suddenly opened up in front of me - it was a semicircular cavity with a diameter of a kilometer, and at the bottom of the cavity was a grid like a beehive, separated by bone secretions, and the grid was full of green hatching fluid.
These grids become the "ground" of this central chamber. And in the middle of this semicircular central chamber, a sarcoma with a diameter of more than 300 meters hangs from the top.
This is the heart of the brood. Or the brood itself - the outer part of the brood is actually a product of functional proliferation, and the brood itself is the evolution of the mother worm in the nest, if the mother does not evolve in the direction of the mother nest, but continues to maintain the basic nest level, then its core may be about half smaller than this.
"Welcome, my guests!" After Xiao Ming and the others entered the central room, the heart of the brood let out a barely discernible voice - not a spirit wave, but a direct human language.
Everyone was stunned, humans have long known that high-level insects have intelligence that is not inferior to humans, and all high-level insects also have the ability to communicate with humans. But that's how psychic power communicates, not to say that bugs have really mastered human language. Because bugs are disgusted with everything human. Language included.
So the insect has not evolved an organ to speak language directly, but now, there is a brood heart that speaks directly to Xiao Ming and the others in human language.
If this news spreads, I am afraid that it will cause a new topic in the academic community.
Finding that Xiao Ming and the others did not react, the heart of the brood said again: "What? Fate, is my human language not standard? Okay, maybe it is a little non-standard, but I think you will be able to understand it." Isn't it, the one who changes fate! Son of the Queen of Time, Xiao Ming!"
Everyone was shocked again, Xiao Ming's identity was no longer a secret among the high-level human beings, but when did Xiao Ming become famous and even the insects knew about it? And it was not difficult to see from the words of the Hive's heart that the other party was deliberately waiting for Xiao Ming's arrival.
And Xiao Ming was even more shocked, because the meaning of the other party's words seemed to be that he knew that he had modified the timeline, so that a period of the original timeline had become what it is now after the modification.
"What do you want to express?" Xiao Ming spoke.
The others all remained silent tacitly and handed over all the negotiations to Xiao Ming.
"What do you mean? You humans are so interesting, I'm just saying hello. Oh, by the way, as you humans are used to, I should have said my name first. My name is Beerus, the second brood, Beerus!" The brood heart said in a rather subtle and pleasant tone, "We were all betting to see who would meet you first, but I didn't expect it to be me Beerus." Maybe when I go back, I can blow about this experience with my compatriots!"
Everyone looked at each other, where does this Beerus look like a brood, it is simply a human being, no matter how they speak or something else, as long as they close their eyes, they will only feel that they are talking to a human being.
"When did I become so famous? among your insect swarm?" Only Xiao Ming still reluctantly composure, he took a deep breath: "Won't you introduce your partner?" Guarding the Emperor Worm, what is his name?"
"My name is Tarir, and I've seen a powerful Destiny Reviser!" "Right in front of everyone, the green liquid in hundreds of grids gushed and gushed, combining into a body of water, which looked like a barbarian, but its size was smaller than that of a real barbarian, only seven or eight meters in length and four meters in height.
This particular water brute is the Guardian Worm, but its life form is beyond anyone's expectations - everything is so unexpected after arriving in the central room of this strange brood.
"Forgive me for being unreasonable, Fate Modder. For some reason, I can't talk to you in my body!, but it doesn't matter, does it?" Tallir's voice rumbled like thunder.
Xiao Ming nodded: "I understand, this chamber is a part of your body, and the entire external tissue of the brood is actually your body of Tarir." You're starting out on the symbiotic route, which is supposed to be another form of development of the swarm brood, isn't it? Let me think about it...... Maybe one day. You're going to be the Worm King?"
This time, Beerus and Tarir fell silent. But soon Beerus spoke: "Modifier of Fate." You're really good enough to see through my relationship with Tarir. But what does it matter? You're all in Tarir's body now, and he can kill you at any time if he wants to! Believe me, even you can't escape Tarir's full strangulation! Because you're in the wrong place!"
Their faces changed slightly, and they exchanged glances with each other, trying to determine whether what Beerus said was true or false.
"Don't doubt my words. You need not doubt it. There is no need to be nervous or afraid, for I have no need to lie to you, nor do I have any reason to act against you. Unless you're going to kill me outright, but it's useless for you to think of your fate together. Because Tarir and I are two sides of the same coin, and killing only one of them is just a period of slumber for us!"
Beerus was quite talkative, he paused for a moment, and after everyone digested his previous words, he said: "Human Beastmaster Adeptus, I think you should have discovered that all the swarms in this brood are beyond your control. Because these swarms are completely mentally connected, essentially. They are part of Talir's body. You can't control an existence that is stronger than your mental power, and Tarir is such an existence!"
"So what else can you do if you have lost your greatest dependence?" Beerus said confidently: "Human, the only choice you have is for me to continue, or to listen to me after being defeated by Tarir!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally Anne said to Xiao Ming in the midst of Minabo Heavenly News: "Listen to what this guy has to say, I really can't control the insects here!"
Everyone had no choice but to listen to what Beerus wanted to say. However, they still maintained a battle formation, and they were in the enemy camp, and they could not let their guard down at any time.
"Actually, I don't have much to say, I just want to make a deal with the Fate Modifier to represent our entire race!" Beerus said in surprise again.
"Make a deal with me?Is there a deal between humans and the swarm?" Xiao Ming sneered, "I hope you're not joking." Because this joke is really not funny at all!"
"Are you kidding?" Beerus smiled indifferently, "No, it's just a habit of you humans. Our people do not have this habit. I'm just telling the truth!"
"Humans and the swarm have been inseparable for two thousand years. This kind of hatred can only end if one of them is completely destroyed, and I don't think there is any deal to be made between us!" Xiao Ming said coldly.
"Of course, the hatred between my race and humanity goes without saying. I share the same point of view as you, and if it were another case, I would certainly not have spoken so peacefully with you, but don't you human beings have a saying? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I think we're eternal enemies, but why can't we work together when we have the same interests?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Deal with the association!" said Beerus.
"Ha, that's really fresh!" Isaac couldn't hold back any longer, and sneered: "Bugs, your words are really interesting enough, associations are our internal human problems, and it's not your turn to ask them." Do you want to cooperate with us? Are you sure you're not delusional?"
"Humanity's internal problems?" Beerus sneered coldly, "Humans, do you really think that the core of the association is your kindred? Every major change in human history is driven by association. Even the emergence of our race and the confrontation with human beings are also driven by associations. Do you really think they're doing this for humanity?"
Beerus seemed to really intend to talk endlessly, and Xiao Ming and the others had to pay attention to his words.
Indeed, many people throughout history have asked the same question, and there are still people who ask it. The Society, formerly known as the Golden Cult Research Group, was once known as a hybrid of angels and demons. Their existence has moved the history of mankind, but some of the greatest disasters in human history have also been caused by associations.
And for Xiao Ming and others, association is a mortal enemy - for insects, Xiao Ming is a racial enemy, but for association, they are personal hatred.
Xiao Ming, Yingluo, Ilti, Gu Qiusha, Lan Xiang, Yerui, Skaul, Ladong, Zhuge Tiantian, etc., half of the members of Team Zero have had a direct or indirect connection to the association.
Therefore, in terms of hatred alone, the relationship between the association and Xiao Ming is not much better than that between humans and the swarm, but before this moment, no one has thought too deeply about this issue.
Humans have asked themselves such questions, but they are only speculations without evidence. The Society has mastered the most advanced technology for the analysis of gold relics by human beings, and it is naturally easier for them to analyze important things from the gold relics than other organizations!" Tifa also spoke at this time.
"Yes, I have heard the messenger speak of this matter. But human beings, have you ever wondered why every most critical technology is analyzed by association, or should I ask, why do human beings always copy the technology of the Golden Empire to the greatest extent when it comes to the most critical technology for the development of the times?"
"Is it because the Golden Empire is powerful? But why did that mighty empire disappear? Why did only those ruins and relics remain? Why thousands of years have passed, no one has ever found the reason for the disappearance of the Golden Empire? Is it possible that it was hidden for real reasons?"
"Can it be said that human beings have retaken the path of the Golden Empire, and this is the civilization that someone wants to rebuild the Golden Empire? If this is the case, will you humans still be human beings when that day comes?"
Everyone was shocked, even Xiao Ming and Annie, who were the most paralyzed, showed the same shocked looks.
Beerus's words rang out in everyone's minds like morning bells and twilight drums, and if they were spoken by a human, they might not have been so shocked, but it was Beerus who said them, the heart of a Pollav's brood.
There is a saying that has been handed down since the age of the earth - bystander Qing.
Beerus stands from a completely different perspective, a non-human perspective, what it sees, nature and human beings are completely different, so is it possible to say in a sense that its perspective is a sober person?
No one can answer this question, at least not Xiao Ming and others. But they can understand Beerus's words and be more able to ask themselves.
"I need a proof!" Xiao Ming finally spoke after thinking for a long time. (To be continued.) )
