StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 685 Artanis: Let me see who killed Zeratul

After entering the Temple of Urna, the Dalam troops led by Artanis took the lead. There were two or three hundred people in the troops, of which the Templars and Dark Templars each accounted for half of them.

Followed by Augustus' elite Royal Guard, including two additional Field Response Theta medics and the Goliath Bulwark Company.

And the soldiers of the Purifier Legion, commanded by the Kolarion intelligent personality carrier, walked at the back of the team. They had more numbers, about 1000 mechanical warriors and large mechs.

The Kolarion Executor had promised Augustus that he would bring in more elite fighters.

"Keep distance from each other, be vigilant, and move forward!" Renault walked in front wearing a commander's power armor painted by the Devil of Heaven, with a Colt revolver hanging from his waist, and the magazine was full of lethal force Amazing hollow point bullets, and Augustus behind him is also in a similar outfit.

Under Raynor's order, a Royal Guard company quickly ran past him, followed by medical soldiers holding red cross shoulder shields.

They were standing thousands of yards from the open gate of the Temple of Urna, but the long corridor still seemed to have no end.

The road here is very wide, and the ceiling is about a few hundred feet above the ground, enough for the Odin Mech to flex its fists easily inside.The walls on both sides are clearly outlined with lifelike sculptures and murals, vividly showing the universe and stars.The swirls and sparkling emerald crystals are everywhere on the road, which is magnificent and fascinating.

There are thousands of such corridors in the temple of Urna, connecting countless magnificent steps and porticoes.

"It's weird."

Tychus muttered, his eyes kept rolling, and he still couldn't figure out what this Urna was.But if he came to dig up some alien artifacts, he was familiar with it.

"The ground seems alive. I don't like that feeling."

The rocky floor in the Temple of Urna is extremely hard, but flexible like a sponge, even if you run all the way with alloy boots, you can't make much noise.

"We have seen similar things in the Sarnaga Temple in the Koprulu sector, but it feels different." Augustus was standing in front of a huge statue, thinking about the hidden mystery .

The statue is deeply embedded between the walls on the right, and its carvings are magnificent and detailed, like ancient ghosts and gods.In this long corridor, there are such statues standing every other section, like the mummy warriors guarding the pharaoh's coffin in the pyramid tomb.

Augustus tried to find traces of Amon's corruption on the statue, but found nothing.

"Zeratul, have you seen it?" he asked Zeratul.

"No." Zeratul admitted, "I guess that the Xel'naga built Urna together and divided the labor to perfect every detail in it. This is a manifestation of their different views on art and aesthetics."

"Your Majesty, we have found an exit ahead." At this moment, the command channel of Augustus came a report from the commander of the Royal Guard, Virgil Caine: "The Protoss of Durham has entered."

"Go ahead and keep the communication open." Augustus looked away from the statue in front of him, raised his legs, and the power armor servo transmission started to run immediately.It's been a while since he's worn this armor, and he's pretty comfortable using it.

Having said that, Augustus intentionally slowed down his pace until the Purifier executive Corolla Leon followed up.

The intelligent personality carrier of Colorado Leon is a mechanical fanatic who is taller than ordinary legionnaires of the Purifiers. He wears a white executive ritual armor that is as dazzling as the sun, and bears a solar halo like a corona.At this moment, it can be seen that the art style of the armor of the ancient Purifier is different from that of Talandar next to it. The edges and corners are sharper and more oppressive.

Since the time when it was active is very long ago, the Purifier Protoss is still using the technology that the Protoss Empire has long since abandoned.Generally speaking, these technologies are meant to be more powerful and more dangerous.

Behind Corolla Leon, the soldiers of the Purifier Legion marched forward like a wall like a forest with an unstoppable momentum.Every legionary soldier can load the intelligent personality of an ancient templar, as if their noble and great heroic souls have returned to the battlefield after thousands of years.

"We protoss have many ways to survive the catastrophe, but only the Purifiers last forever." As if reading Augustus's inner thoughts, Corolla Leon said to him: "Whenever we need these great When fighters join battle, they access their personalities dormant in the Council of the Purifiers."

The Purifiers still see themselves as protoss, as templars, otherwise they wouldn't care about Tassadar.

"Executive Officer, thank you for your support." Augustus walked with Colorado Leon, Zeratul and Raynor followed closely behind, and only Tychus looked suspiciously at the Purifier Legion soldiers in Color Leon.

Tychus had never liked the Protoss, let alone the Mecha-Protoss, and of course no one here cared about his opinion.

The emperor of his family is really good at getting along with friends, ordinary protoss can get along like this, even the mechanical ones are not spared.

"Seeing you again, Augustus Mengsk, your words still make me feel like a spring breeze." The Purifier Talandar greeted Augustus and others enthusiastically as soon as he came up: "Zeratul, old man My friend, it makes me so happy to meet you."

"James Reynolds, my good friend!" He stepped forward to hug Reynolds, but accidentally lifted him up, causing embarrassment for both parties.

Talandar is more "human" than the ancient Purifiers, but that may also be because the ancient Purifiers lacked trust in the outside world and rarely communicated with other people.

Strictly speaking, the Purifier Protoss can be divided into three factions, the Ancient Purifier, the Glacius Purifier, and the artificial intelligence machine that lacks independent personality.

The Purifiers of Glacius come from the Purifier Project after the restart of the Protoss Empire, and this group of purifiers call themselves the Sons of Glacius.Phoenix was not the only one who was ordered by the Supreme Council to go to Glacius to record his personality, but many of his personalities had never been awakened.

As for the third category, they are mass-produced mechanical warriors, and although they don't have independent personalities, their artificial intelligence simulation level is still jaw-dropping.

It was not until Colorado Leon that Augustus continued to move forward under the protection of the royal guard and Purifier fighters.They walked down a wide flight of stairs and passed through a huge elegant archway, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

It is not so much a huge grotto as it is a hall and courtyard where giants live.

Layered geometric columns support a majestic dome adorned with stunning cartouches and artistic hieroglyphs, while ancient walls are dotted with clusters of gleaming blue crystals.Like an art exhibition hall, the large-scale obelisks, statues, shrines, altars and magnificent murals carved on the walls of the vaults indisputably show the splendor of that era in Sarnaga.

The only problem is that Naganaga probably didn't consider lighting and lighting when it was built, so that it was quite dark inside, and the crystals on the ground could only be used as light sources.

It is also possible that this place used to be bright and transparent, but since the cruel battle of the Xel'Naga gods in Urna in ancient times, it has lost its former glory.

Artanis and his Dharam protoss troops were exploring not far ahead, lighting up the crackling psychic blades as they walked.

"My mother." Tychus opened the visor of his helmet and looked around with wide eyes.

"It looks like this is just one of the halls." Augustus turned on the searchlight on the power armor: "Urna is like a planet, I really can't imagine how big it is inside."

"There is a temple in front, Artanis and the others are on that side." Renault pointed to the front: "Let's go and have a look too."

"Let's go and have a look." Augustus left and right Renault Techus, as well as the guardians of Corola Leon and Talandar, and the elite royal guards guarding the surroundings, naturally they are not afraid.

Walking in this hall, all you can see are ceremonial grand buildings, showing majesty.

Accompanied by a group of Purifiers and heroes of the Tyrannian Empire, Augustus came to the temple in the hall and climbed up the stairs.

This temple is not big, but it is magnificently built. There is a long picture scroll carved under the ornately carved eaves and in the canopy shrine.The psionic blades of the Templar and Dark Templar shone like bonfires in the dark over these massive frescoes carved into them.

"The prophecy of Xel'Naga." Zeratul walked in front, looking at the murals: "One prophecy is connected with another prophecy, this is fate."

"Kind of style," Tychus grumbled.

"Tychus, they should erect a statue of you here," Augustus said.

"Here's a prophecy—it's about Zeratul." At this moment, Artanis' adjutant, Executive Selendis, shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

Selendis is standing in front of the first mural, interpreting the meaning of this engraving, and her indescribable surprise and horror are revealed in her spiritual language:

"Zeratul will be slain here."

"Here...in Urna?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound, and Augustus hurriedly led people over.

"Is this you? Zeratul." Looking at the scene depicted on the mural, Renault's pupils dilated slightly: "Is this the prophecy?"

When Augustus looked over, the murals were very vaguely depicted, which was quite different from the famous and exquisite Sarnaga Golden Curve.Anyway, he couldn't see why, but he could also recognize the scene depicted on it——

Artanis embraced Zeratul, who had returned to the void, and bowed his head in silence.

"Serandis!" Artanis hurried over upon hearing this, "Who killed Zeratul?"

"It's not true." Selendis looked at Artanis, without any words, the sadness in Kara had already proved everything.

"This..." Artanis looked at the mural, turned his head to look at his executive robe, looked at the mural again, and finally shouted in shock: "Is it me?"

"I killed Zeratul myself?"

"why?"

"No! It's impossible!"

Artanis backed away from extreme shock while speaking, staring at his hands in disbelief and despair, as if they were stained with Zeratul's blood.The Xel'Naga, Urna, and prophecies are all of great significance to the Protoss, so what they saw this time touched them much more than humans.

After all, despite the fact that Augustus and Renault are kind on the surface, they are actually ruthless people who take it for granted that they want to fight the gods.

"." Zeratul was also stunned when he saw it, and then suddenly said: "If this is my fate."

Just looking at this mural can't tell much, but for the Protoss who has studied the prophecies of Xel'Naga deeply, it still has other interpretations.

The final fate of Zeratul in the prophecy seems to be doomed, and it is none other than Artanis who killed him.

His life will be ended by Artanis himself.

But no one knows what happened before that, and what they went through.

Zeratul looked at the other murals and muttered to himself: "The hybrid descends, the stars dim, and the endless darkness will come."

"Zeratul, this is definitely not your destiny, and it should never be yours." Augustus didn't know what Zeratul understood.

"Yeah, how could Artanis do something to Zeratul? They are good." Renault wanted to say that they were good brothers, but somehow he couldn't continue.

Only the good brother Tychus watched for a long time, feeling as if he understood something, silently stopped Zeratul behind him.

"Does this mean that the Dalam protoss may split?" Selendis gave her own interpretation. Anyway, she really couldn't imagine the day when Artanis and Zeratul would meet each other.

Zeratul and Tassadar, the mentor of Artanis, are like brothers, and the relationship between the three of them is quite good.

Hearing what Selendis said, the templars under Artanis and the dark templars looked at each other with strange eyes.

"I don't believe this is true, stop talking about it, Selendis." Artanis turned to look at the soldiers under his command:
"Eamon must be playing tricks!"

Selendis, do you not look at the occasion when you speak?
"Artanis is right." Augustus reassured everyone with a firm voice, "Maybe it was Emon who made the mixed embodiment sculpture for mockery."

It turns out that when Artanis came to Urna and saw this mural in the timeline, Kara had already been corrupted by Amon, and Zeratul also paid for cutting off his nerve bundle and cutting off his connection with Kara in Ayr. life.

And now, none of this has happened.

All the prophecies in Urna have indeed been fulfilled, but after careful study, it can be found that whether it is the death of Zeratul or the destruction of Sacoolas, the events described in it are all secretly intervened by Amon.

Well, according to Amon's urine, the axemen ambushing on both sides are ready to jump out and take Zeratul's life to "confirm" the prophecy.

Amon prophesied all this and then fulfilled it himself.

"Isn't it just a painting?" Tychus exclaimed and didn't take it seriously: "What's the big deal, I don't believe they are so powerful. Otherwise, I will immediately switch to Nagar and ask him to pay for it for me Money owed to strip clubs."

Tychus is an honest man, and he always remembers to pay what he owes, unless he really "forgot".

While speaking, he seemed to feel that the existence of Tychus had desecrated this place, and then earth-shattering roars sounded in the Temple of Urna.

Twisted monsters howled, snakes and scorpions in the shadows of the porch.
