StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 623 It Was Just a Small Failure
Under the monitoring of the high-sensitivity camera probe and sensor array of the scientific ship Air Amerigo, Augustus, Zeratul and Narth as the blue binoculars burning with psionic flames pierced the dust raised by the orbital bombardment. Dr. Ruud was able to see Artanis, the high-level executive of the Protoss in Durham, appearing on the screen in the command center.

Artanis, dressed in a gorgeous golden battle armor and white robe, is like a dazzling star, radiant and dazzling.

He was standing among the ruins of the Twilight Fortress, with the collapsed altar of the temple under his feet, and the hybrid monster floating in mid-air just a few dozen yards away, fighting with thousands of troops on all sides.

Now, standing in front of you is the strong contender for the next Archbishop of Durham, the first disciple of the Protoss hero Tassadar, the pride of Akiri Protoss, that glorious man!
"Your existence has desecrated the temple!" Artanis looked directly at the evil and twisted monster, furious.

"The greatest blasphemy is the protoss itself." Most hybrids are irritable, hysterical madness.The hybrid Mar is an exception. He showed amazing calmness, wisdom and viciousness, and there are only endless ridicule and contempt in his words:

"Fall from the bubble of nothingness and drown in sweet dreams."

Along the trapezoidal steps of the temple, the emerald green crystal flashes dotted the rain altar, and the spiral and swirl patterns are beautiful.And the hybrid Marr seems to be the master of this place, and the spiritual energy pouring towards him from all directions makes him stronger and stronger.

Maybe the Protoss of Zakul really regarded Maar as a Xel'Naga Chosen One, and his physical characteristics closer to Protoss and the white wings spread out behind him really looked like a holy angel.What's more, they will regard this as the promotion of the protoss.

"This protoss executive is very powerful, but he may not be the opponent of the hybrid Mar." On the other side, Dr. Narud talked loudly to the monitoring screen.

"Maybe he is unwilling to share the glory with others, and wants to defeat the enemy with his own strength."

"No, doctor, I believe that Artanis can defeat the hybrid Mar." As Augustus was speaking, he heard a terrifying scream from the hybrid.

"Be my sacrifice, and you will have glorious eternal life." The hybrid Mal stared at Artanis with those vicious eyes: "Soon, the ground under your feet will turn away from you, and the phantom of the void will thirst Drink the soul of the protoss."

"And you are just a twisted hybrid monster, your existence is just a lie." Artanis snapped.Achilles templars, resolute, unyielding, selfless, and fearless, they are true braves and natural leaders.

"Threats and intimidation can't frighten the eldest son of God!" This executive is strong and confident, and his leadership temperament is natural, which makes the parents Augustus and Zeratul very pleased.

"Release the protectors you imprisoned and the protoss you enslaved immediately!"

Even now, Artanis is still making a last-ditch attempt to save the corrupted Zakul protoss, though he knows it's likely to be futile.Even if these great Zaqul warriors managed to escape the hybrid's control, they would spend the rest of their lives in atonement of shame, guilt, and self-imposed exile.

"Why resist?" The hybrid Mal let out a cold laugh, like a dead man scratching a coffin. This evil voice with psionic echoes seems to be able to imagine the fear of the unknown deep in people's hearts.

"No one can stop the torrent of fate, any struggle will be invisible, and your struggle will be in vain." He said:
"The God of Darkness has made arrangements for everyone's fate. As the general trend is, everything is at the mercy of mantis."

"Emon!" Artanis called out Amon's name in shock and anger.

".?!" It can be noticed that the hybrid Mal was obviously stunned for a moment, not expecting that the other party already knew the real name of the God of Darkness.

"Some secrets must be buried deep and killed to kill them." After a while, the hybrid Mal must have become angry:

".Let me take your life!"

Like a bolt of lightning, the hybrid Mal tore the gap between the void and reality, and appeared before Artanis's eyes in the blink of an eye.The twisted and evil monster rushed towards Artanis in a terrifying psychic scream, and the raised claws shone with a pale white shimmer.

Hybrid Mar's attack caused Artanis to dodge sideways agilely and gracefully.Artanis ignited one of his psionic blades between lightning and flint, and grasped the bone armor covering the head of the hybrid Mal in a flash, and stabbed fiercely.Psionic blades look as fine and smooth as silk and thin ice sheets, and look like artworks rather than murderous blades, but there seems to be no material that can stop them in this universe.

The moment the psionic blade collided with the psionic shield flashed like a rising star.

Artanis is like a peerless swordsman, he can poetically dodge all the attacks of the hybrid Marr with his steps, and every light counterattack can further weaken the opponent's shield or leave behind him. A scar, relaxed and freehand, while Maer only suppressed it with powerful spiritual energy.

Their speed is so fast that in the eyes of others, there are only afterimages left.

Augustus, who was paying close attention to all this, could have expected that this would not be a duel of comparable level, but he did not expect that Artanis would occupy the obvious upper peak.

Although Artanis is much larger and taller than ordinary humans, he is deft like a big cat when he fights, and he can maintain his balance in an inhuman posture even when he leaps high.

Compared with the greatest executives and templars in the history of the Protoss Empire, Artanis's glory may not be dazzling enough, but he is still impressive as the youngest executive.

Few realize that an Executor is also a powerful psionic warrior first and foremost.The difference between Protoss and human commanders is that they are on the front line and kill the enemy much more often.

Whether it was before or after the Age of Adun in the Protoss Empire, the Executors always took the lead and took the lead.

Suddenly, there was another sharp slash, and the hybrid Mar was almost completely knocked down to the ground, and he couldn't help but let out an unstoppable scream.

Of course he didn't know that what Artanis is using now is not the pure purifying psionic energy of the El protoss, but a fusion of void energy and purifying energy, named Twilight after the apostle of Adun Twilight energy.In the golden age of the Protoss Empire, Arden had already tried to fuse these two powers, and Tassadar was the second to do so.

This twilight energy named after Adun is extremely powerful and very rare.

The purification energy is only unique to the El protoss. It comes from the powerful power that circulates in the Sea of ​​Kara for countless epochs, and it can have a violent repulsive reaction with the energy of the void.

Void energy is the purest and most primitive power from the void. Before Kara appeared, the ancient protoss used this power, but now only another dark templar of the protoss is still using it.But for the current protoss, it is not difficult to regain this power.

At present, only the El protoss can master and use the twilight energy, but the risk is extremely high.

As a disciple of Dalam Archbishop Tassadar, Artanis also practiced the way of the void of the dark templar, and began to try to master the power of the void.

Merging the power of the Void with cleansing powers has long been preceded, and at the Templar Academy in Valari, two protoss were even fused into a powerful Twilight Archon.

This is a very risky thing. The first generation of Twilight Apostle Yaden burned himself under the collision of two different psychic powers.For the latecomers to Adun's legacy, trying to accommodate and master both powers at the same time is a very dangerous thing.If they are not careful, they may go to see Arden.

Of course, considering Adun's status among the protoss, following him to become a new generation of twilight apostles is an extremely honorable thing for many high-ranking templars—as long as they can abandon their prejudices and accept the Dark Templar The way of the samurai and try to run through the shadows.

And Artanis is the most powerful of the new generation of Twilight Apostles, and the way he learned void energy from the Dark Templar has also won the respect of some Dark Templars in the Dharam Protoss.

Mastering the power of both Templar and Dark Templar seems to have become a must for the Archbishop of Durham.

"Ah! I want to feast on your soul." Maer took another flying slash from Artanis, and the shield on his body also bottomed out.As a powerful hybrid capable of controlling the entire Zakul Protoss, he suffered so much in the hands of Artanis that he had to give up fighting with him in embarrassment.

"Such powerful power, such a beautiful body~"

"Let the horse come here." Artanis stared at the monster: "This is our innate energy, this is the talent of the eldest son!"

"Go to hell!" The hybrid Mal roared, and raised his arms again, condensing a terrifying psionic energy into a psionic energy wave and pushing it towards Artanis on the opposite side.

"Adens give me strength!" Artanis did not dodge or dodge. With the operation of the psychic amplifier behind him, a more powerful psychic shock wave was released from his hand, and the impact with the hybrid Mal together.

The two shock waves of different colors are like two colliding water streams, one ebbs and another. Once the other side shows a slight decline, it will be defeated immediately.

"Why does this scene seem familiar?" Augustus, who was watching the battle, looked at Dr. Narud next to him: "Are these powerful psychic warriors accustomed to using combat methods to determine the outcome? They don't seem to have any better There is a way."

"." Narud was silent for a while before saying: "The protoss executive is competing with the hybrid body for the strength of psionic power. In my opinion, this is not a wise move. The hybrid body Mal is obviously coming from the Xel'Naga Temple Draw power from the imprisoned protoss protector."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I think the right side will win." Augustus pointed to Artanis who was on the right side of the screen.

Dr. Narud laughed dryly, but he didn't know what he was cursing in his heart.

All of a sudden, the hybrid Mar and Artanis turned out to be on par. The dazzling shock wave tore the ground under their feet, and even the magnificent temple was gradually collapsing.

"This is a fair duel, young Artanis, maybe this is what you hoped for." In Zeratul's eyes, Artanis was much stronger than in the past six years.Perhaps in the eyes of Protoss, being able to make such great progress in such a short period of time is really a commendable thing.

"Artanis has mastered the power of the void, which is extremely difficult even for the best shadow apprentices," he said: "I am not surprised that he can achieve such achievements. "

"...Wait a minute, I understand, that's how it is"

"What do you understand, Zeratul?" Augustus asked.

"This is a shadow run that belongs to Artanis, brother Augustus." Zeratul explained to him: "In the tradition of our Nerazim spirits, we want to be a dark templar." A samurai must face the darkness alone, meeting and defeating every enemy he encounters."

"For every brave warrior who sets foot on the Dark Templar, this is the most important thing in his life. It determines whether he is qualified to be a true warrior and whether he can protect his own people."

"I remember this ceremony, Zeratul. I remember that Kerrigan also completed a Shadow Run in Sacoolas. I heard that she defeated half of the Shadow Guard." Augustus hesitated.

"Your queen is extraordinary, and we are not surprised by her achievements." Zeratul nodded.

"Ah! He is about to be defeated." At this time, Dr. Narud on the other side screamed, not knowing who he was worried about.

At this moment, the psychic shock wave released by Artanis became more and more powerful, even overshadowing the hybrid Mar.The point of intersection between the two shock waves was being pushed towards the mixture by a huge force, causing him to scream in disbelief.

"No!" In Mar's screams, he was completely hit by the shock wave pushed by Artanis. blue smoke.

"Artanis should have spared Mar's life, so that after studying him, it can be used to generate electricity for the Xel'Naga artifact." Augustus was still thinking about his Xel'Naga artifact.

Of course, that's exactly what Narud wanted.

"I knew Artanis would definitely win." Augustus looked at the battle map: "Why are those Zakul protoss still resisting?"

"This is just a small failure." Unexpectedly, the voice of the hybrid Mal appeared again:

"I will be reborn!"

"Shut up." Tychus was still on the channel.At this time, the Odin he was driving was staying on the other side of the battlefield for repairs. With this time, he could even open a bottle of cold beer:

"and many more……"

　Why don't I have much energy today... It's time.
