StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 368 Dark Origin
"Amon, the God of Darkness, the incarnation of immortality, the ruler of all, he brings the truth, and also brings the ultimate darkness and endless annihilation."

Lord Taldarine knew that he was doomed to die, and he didn't care about revealing Amon's real name. Anyway, these people couldn't figure out what it was.

Let these pathetic worms and cowardly templars live a miserable life of suspenseful speculation at the word, and they must live a life of fear, which will only make this Tada Lord Lin felt real pleasure and the thrill of revenge.

It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but the Tadalin protoss, especially a high-ranking person who has risen to a high position through intrigue and cruel killing, only cruelty is left in his cunning and vicious heart.

"The future is created by our own hands, not by your so-called gods." Augustus approached the stasis chamber, and the power armor made an armor-like clacking sound when it moved.

"Tassadar, I know that all of you Protoss have telepathic ability, can't you see through the inner thoughts of this Tassadarin Protoss?" Lei Nuo thinks that the process of torture is not necessary at all, even if the other party is a hateful alien.

"James Raynor, my friend, the idea of ​​seeing through a creature without psychic potential is achievable to a telepath, but the Tal'darine protoss also possess powerful psychic powers, which to a certain extent can insulate other A person's probe of his deepest thoughts." Tassadar patiently explained to Raynor.

"An evil god, is it Xel'Naga?" Zeratul was worried about the terrible conspiracy and the dark future contained in these words, and he naturally connected Xel'Naga with gods.

"He is above the gods." The Tal'darin lord lying in the stasis chamber let out a last frenzied ridicule.

"I heard Amon's call—I, I will not let you go—"

Then, in the eyes of Augustus, bright red light waves like lava appeared on the body of the Tadarin protoss who was still clamoring just now. This magnificent light dismembered his body and dissolved it into red crystal dust.

"These dead disciples, why don't you die for me?"

"." Tassadar, the executive officer of the templar, watched the red light that turned into the Tadarin protoss after death escaped from the gravitational field of the asteroid and dissipated into space, and sighed wordlessly.

"He died without honor." A high-ranking templar was also shocked by the dark inside story he saw and heard today, but he just took it as the madness of a Tadarin protoss fanatic language.

"The zerg are not the worst enemies the Protoss Empire has ever faced." Tassadar's gaze swept over the remaining Tadarim slaves and the containers soaked in the deformed bodies of the hybrids.

"I have a hunch that it is just a harbinger of the dark age." Zeratul calmed down a lot: "Whether it is among the templars or the dark templars, there is a prophecy of the end. At that time, Adun will return to save the Protoss."

"No matter what that Amon is, no matter what fictional evil god he is or something else, we must win in the end." The young Jim Raynor is not only a positive optimist, but also full of hope for victory.

In the current Jim Raynor's not-so-long but still magnificent life, he has been following Augustus, and has never experienced failures that are enough to crush a person.Renault's life is full of hope, and has nothing to do with decadence and depression. His family is happy, and the friends around him are enough to support him through life and death.

"Even if God stands in front of me and says that he is going to destroy mankind today, then I can only shoot him." Augustus is the one who really knows what Emon is, but at least he knows what to do. beat him.

"Let those demons go to hell." Renault and Augustus clapped their hands together.Compared with the protoss who believed in gods and prophecies, these human revolutionary troops were not so depressed.

Under the leadership of Augustus, even if there is really a god in this world, as long as the marshal gives an order, Renault and others will go forward to overthrow and overthrow this god, pointing a gun at the head of the god and saying that this position is not Time for Augustus Mengsk to sit down, too.

"You are right, nothing can defeat the brave and fearless protoss." Tassadar did not worry too long about the last words of Lord Tadarin. The closest to doomsday.

At this time, Augustus turned to the Tadarim slaves who were shackled by shackles. Several of them should be engineers similar to El Protoss phase technicians or blacksmiths who forge weapons. They wore heavy red robes , wearing a hood, will not tremble like ordinary protoss with no clothes on.

Unlike the El Protoss, even the weakest Taldarin Protoss who work in the humblest industry have extremely strong combat effectiveness and bloodthirsty instincts.Unless their master is killed, these Tal'darin protoss have no chance of surrendering to the enemy.

"What do you do?" Augustus walked to one of the Tadarin protoss in a blood-red robe.None of these Taldarin protoss regretted or mourned the death of their master, but they were not yet able to laugh out of grief while being captured.

"Craftsman." The Tadarin protoss with several scars on his face took off his robe: "I forge psionic blades and sharp swords for the strongest in the chain of ascension. Made by me."

"So, you're a good craftsman." Augustus didn't ask him about Amon's information.

"Better than all humans," the Tal'darin craftsman replied proudly.

"So, you are a talent." Lei Nuo also came over: "Are you interested in working with us? Not only will you get money, but you will also have enough terrazine. That Tadarin in the Umoyan Science Station is a mess!" The wind is smooth, and it is more nourishing than those of us who carry guns."

"Well, there are many benefits, and I don't tell ordinary people to him."

Unknowingly, Renault began to recruit people for Augustus' revolutionary cause again. This young man who always flaunted the revolutionary spirit devoted himself to Augustus' cause and regarded it as his lifelong ideal.

There has been a precedent for recruiting Tal'darines since the first Tal'darin Protoss was hired by the Revolutionary Alien Lab.

Hearing what Renault said, Augustus nodded in agreement. After all, he can't recruit people from Tassadar or Zeratul's army system now, even if the other party is willing to give him some help: "Maybe you Can bring some help to my engineers."

It's just that these Tadarim engineers can't provide any advice for human weapon research, so it's good to let them forge Tadarin's cold weapons with extremely killing aesthetics.There is never too much talent for Augustus.

"What did you say?" The Tadarim craftsman narrowed his eyes because of being too surprised, and showed a teasing expression with the movement of facial muscles: "You, humans, recruit me?"

"Using diazine?"

"A lot," Renault said emphatically.

The Tadarin craftsman paused when he mentioned the word terrazine, but remained unmoved: "I admit that it is very tempting, but what else can you give me? I will no longer be able to upgrade It is impossible to obtain a promotion in the great cycle of the chain, and it is impossible to obtain the opportunity to ascend to become a hybrid."

"Another way of thinking, you can't climb higher anyway." At this moment, Kerrigan said in her usual mean tone.

"." The Tal'darin artisan was furious at Kerrigan's humiliation: "I refuse."

"Tassadar, Zeratul, leave these Tadarins to us." Augustus turned to the two protoss commanders and said, "Once we ask anything, we will pass it on to you."

"Very well, if you don't do that, I will also order the Templars to imprison them." Tassadar had no objection.

"If that's what these Tadarim deserved... I have no objection." Zeratul walked up to the Tadarim craftsman whom Augustus asked: "I heard you say that the Tadarim eventually It will be upgraded to a hybrid, what is going on?"

"If you beg me." The Tal'darim artisan, who had just been poked in the sore spot by Kerrigan, proudly raised his thin, pointed chin.

"You have two choices." Augustus shook off the helmet visor of his power armor, allowing the Tal'darin Protoss to look directly into his eyes.

"Say all you know, or I release all your colleagues and give them freedom and ample terrazine, and you die of old age in your cramped prison," he said.

"You don't need to work for that so-called god anymore, because I am standing in front of you right now, while Amon is far away from time and space."

"I know, it doesn't matter if I tell you." Another Tadarim engineer who had been secretly watching for a long time was happy to see his colleagues suffer. In Tadarim society, all classes are always in a struggle of mutual competition and intrigue. Even the best-connected Taldarin protoss are rife with deceit and betrayal.

The Tadarin protoss also refused to let other clansmen read their minds, because that would make all conspiracies nowhere to hide.

"What do you know, this lord is clearly asking me." The Tadarim craftsman softened quickly. He could accept torture or punishment, but he didn't want other Tadarim to live better than himself. "

"In the Tadarin protoss, the chain of ascension is everything, and the weak are at the bottom of the chain of ascension, but they can also defeat the Tadarin who is higher than themselves through the Rakshir ceremony to get promoted in the chain of ascension. "He said hastily.

"In the chain of ascension, the first ascender of the first seat controls the army, and above him is the high-ranking lord, and the end of the chain of ascension is Amon. The God's Chosen who is favored by him will receive Ascension, becoming a powerful hybrid, is what you see."

"Those hybrids are so ugly and despicable, is that the upgrade you are longing for?" Zeratul also said.

"The ones you see are just the losers who have been promoted. They failed to stand the test of Amon and can only become monsters with confused thoughts." The words of the Tal'darin craftsman reveal the jealousy and resentment towards those so-called promotions.

"Ascension should be to become more perfect and stronger."

"But it seems that those monsters upgraded to hybrids are not as crazy as you said." Tassadar expressed his opinion: "Some kind of dark force is affecting them."

"So the high lords of Tal'darine became a hybrid?" Augustus asked.

"No." The Tal'darin craftsman seemed to have never thought about this question, and he immediately gave the explanation he just came up with: "Master Marash will ascend together with all the Tal'darin when the annihilation of the universe comes."

"If you ask me, this must be the hole that Amon is digging for you." Renault expressed his opinion: "Since Amon is the God of Darkness who wants to bring about destruction and doomsday, he must be nothing good stuff."

"Even Shiloh's three-year-old knows that sweet gifts often mean traps or swarms of wasps that sting people."

"A human being, what do you know about upgrading." The Tadarim craftsman scolded Lei Nuo, admitting that what this human being said was equivalent to admitting that what he believed in all his life were mistakes and lies.

"I believe that it will take some time for us to figure out the social appearance, customs and gods they believe in the Tadalin." Augustus asked his soldiers to escort these Tadalin back to the transport ship.

"As for these dead hybrids and the evil containers that made them, let's destroy them on the spot." He continued: "Meddling with these twisted creations will only be playing with fire."

"It must be purified with fire," Tassadar said.

After a while, when Augustus and Tassadar were about to go home and discuss what they had seen today, a second lieutenant of the Revolutionary Army and several dark templars came over.

"Marshal, we found the forge where the Tadalin protoss forges weapons and armor, as well as the warehouse where the mechs and spaceships are parked." The second lieutenant said after saluting Augustus.

"Oh—let's go and see."

The arsenal of this Tal'darin stronghold is unusually vast, with a soaring dome supporting the blood crystal that powers the entire fortress.In the spacious warehouse, bloody spaceships with extremely aggressive shapes and spider-shaped mechs can be seen everywhere, and two huge colossi overlook the entire warehouse.

To the surprise of Augustus, Tassadar and others, Tadarin's mechs and fighters were almost identical to those of the Templars, including the Dragon Knight mechs, reconnaissance planes, golden beetles and even a The Arbiter ship piloted by the Arbiter.

If the mere similarity in shape doesn't explain the problem, then some of the spaceships and mechs that still retain the gold and blue paint of the El Protoss can already explain the problem.

"These shameless thieves." Tassadar also learned the word for thieves, and was furious at the despicable behavior of the Tal'darin protoss.

It is absolutely impossible for the Templars to hand over the armor and weapons to the Tadalin protoss by themselves. They were either stolen by the Tadalin or robbed, and the original owners of those weapons may have met with misfortune.

In this way, the inexplicable disappearance of the Protoss Empire exploration fleet and colonial fleet that disappeared in the depths of the universe will be explained.Tassadar could hardly believe that at least one noble arbitrator had died at the hands of Tassadar.

"Wait, there seems to be a human spaceship over there." Kerrigan, with eagle-eyed eyes, suddenly noticed something among the pile of weapons, and immediately pointed to a corner of the warehouse.

Augustus looked in that direction and found a streamlined human spaceship lying there quietly.

It was a gorgeous galaxy flea with the flag of the Tyrann Federation on it.This style of shuttle is often a handcrafted luxury, only supplied to the federal nobles of Tarsonis, and is also highly sought after by federal politicians.

"How come there are human spaceships here? Don't Tadarins look down on human things at all?" Augustus said, "I have never seen Tadalin steal human spaceships... In their words, there is no human spaceship at all." There's no need to pick up junk."

Kerrigan read the thoughts that flashed through Augustus's mind like lightning:

"Someone has been here."
