StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 688 The Chosen Race

The Hall of Revelation is a huge pyramid-shaped stone structure building with a towering spire. It is poetically located in the center of the rectangular square of the temple. It is engraved with grand cosmic stars and vivid murals, which are mysterious and intriguing.

"Can't open?"

When Augustus stood between Artanis and Corolla Leon across the well-defined Dalam Protoss and Purifier Protoss warriors under the Hall of Revelation, the subtle height was obvious: "Why can't it be opened?"

Before going to the Otarian Rift to find Urna, Augustus had already gone through the battle plot related to it many times in his mind, commonly known as brain cloud clearance.

I remember that when Kerrigan and Artanis in the form of the Queen of Blades came here, the Hall of Revelation opened immediately.

Control variable exclusion, is the problem with Kerrigan not being here?

But Augustus didn't let Kerrigan come with him this time. First, the Queen wanted to stay in Korhal to stabilize the people's hearts, and second, she was still one step away from fully absorbing the essence of the original split pool.

"Artanis, you said before that only when the two selected races appear together, the altar will reveal the way to wake up the sleeping Naganaga." Augustus turned his head and said bluntly to Artanis:

"Is this also saying that if the two selected races did not arrive here, then there would be no way to open the Hall of Revelation?"

"I hate solving puzzles." Tychus on the side stared for a long time, only to feel dizzy in front of his eyes, as if there were two villains fighting on his head.

Tychus has never been good at dealing with old antiques, but as long as he has the money, his intelligence is enough to teach himself to become a top archaeologist.But over the years, with Augustus and Renault strategizing, the number of times this guy uses his brain to make up his own mind has become less and less.

Only Lei Nuo heard the words and looked at Artanis, and then at Augustus, the eldest son of God, a man chosen by heaven, what is going on?
"Your interpretation is not unreasonable." Artanis also thought about this possibility.

This is a little subtle.

There are now two races here, humans and protoss, and there is always one who is not among the chosen ones, so who is it?
To add insult to injury, neither of us may have been chosen, which is even harder to tell.

The Naganaga never interfered with the progress of human civilization, and humans never thought that they could become the successors of the creator. Only the Protoss has always regarded itself as the eldest son.

For their identity as the eldest son of God, their Protoss family naturally feel honored and proud.As the first race to be promoted and supported by the Creator, the Protoss claims to be the guardian of order and justice in the universe, and meticulously fulfills the duty of helping the weak and the poor according to the tradition of the Nagar.

Then if there are two races in the end, they should be upgraded to Sarnaga. As the eldest son, they should at least be ranked first.

At least that's what Artanis thought in his heart.

But this may not be the case. History tells Artanis that before the catastrophe, the Xel'Naga left Aiur because they were too disappointed with the protoss, and then created the Zerg.As for why Xel'Naga was disappointed with Xingling, the truth of history has long been lost or deliberately blurred.

Maybe, Protoss has already been given up by Xel'Naga.

"Zeratul, what's your opinion on this?" Artanis threw this question to Zeratul who followed Augustus.

As for the Purifier Protoss side of Colorado, they couldn't come up with any ideas.The intelligent personalities of the main purifiers all come from the warrior class of the ancient Protoss Empire, and they don't know anything about research.

The old ancestors were better at fighting.

"I learned that the Xel'Naga once came to the Protoss and Zerg to teach or transform them." Zeratul said: "These are also the two races that are most closely related to the Xel'Naga."

"The Xel'Naga once had high hopes for the protoss, and perhaps the same for the Zerg." He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him:

"A venerable protector named Zamara told me that they believe that we and the zerg are the experiments of the creator. In fact, the xel'naga did not create us, but transformed us."

In any case, Zeratul seemed to like the atmosphere where everyone was quietly listening to his storytelling.

"Zamara believes that Naganaga also has a life cycle, but their life form is completely incomprehensible to us, and it is almost equivalent to eternity. But in the end, Naganaga will also age and die." He talked eloquently :

"But before that, they will choose two races, slowly guide and transform these races, and let them merge into a carrier—becoming them."

"Become Xel'Naga?" When Artanis and others were speechless, Augustus took Zeratul's words: "That means Xel'Naga chose Protoss and Zerg."

Instead of being "taken away" and becoming a body that accommodates the Naganaga's will, it evolved into them.

In Augustus' view, this is close to the truth, the only difference is that the Naganaga will never take the initiative to transform these races, but let nature go.They will wait for these races to complete self-development and self-exploration until they find Urna through the Xel'Naga artifacts left in the universe, accept the guidance of Xel'Naga, and become a member of the Creator.

The gods descended from the protoss to transform the zerg have always been the group of Xel'Naga who followed Amon. From this point of view, they have broken the Xel'Naga's principle of never interfering with the development of creation.

It seems that Xel'Naga also gave Protoss a lot of information during the period when Al was pretending to be a ghost, but he definitely deliberately concealed the part that broke the rules.

And the information that will be revealed in the Hall of Revelation will guide Artanis and the others to find the truth, and then they will be able to make them realize how big a hole Amon has buried in Kara.

"But I guess there is nothing human in it, right." Renault complained.

"Protoss and Zerg are just the two races that are considered to have the most potential." Zeratul gave a kind chuckle: "That's all."

Speaking of which, the Protoss and the Zerg were the two races favored by the Xel'Naga, and humans were far from their fortunes at that time.

However, human beings don't really care about this. They didn't really understand the details of the Naganaga until this generation, and they lack knowledge of these creators, let alone the slightest respect.

"Zero worms?" Artanis' adjutant, Selendis, was the first to be impatient: "The Naganaga would choose them?"

"A bunch of bedbugs." Tychus originally agreed, but suddenly remembered that Augustus also raised a lot of bugs in the palace.

"The Naganaga may not have the same concept of good and evil as we do." Augustus added in his mind, but Emon and Narud are definitely bad things.

Protoss and Zerg are indeed the first chosen races, but Augustus knows that Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades who became Xel'Naga in the original story line, is human + Zerg, and has nothing to do with Protoss.

That is to say, of the three races of humans, protoss, and zerg, only the eldest son of god, the protoss, was excluded from the ranks of promotion.

"You mean, we still have to find the Zerg now?" Raynor looked at Zeratul and said.

"But why are there Zergs here?" Artanis was silent for a while, but still accepted it calmly: "If there are, how can we find them?"

"I'm afraid so." Zeratul looked at Augustus and blinked.

"We happen to have a few here." Augustus cleared his throat: "Just to be on the safe side, I'll order Swan to bring them here right away."

"Is it still too late?" Tychus was about to say that it took us a long time to get here, and by the time they arrived, the hybrid had already smashed everything in the temple.

"Anyway, let's try it first." Augustus looked at Artanis and Colorado Leon, pointing to the sky:
"Maybe we can call for backup."

"Spear of Adun, immediately locate the coordinates, warm up the main gun, and prepare to penetrate the temple." Artanis immediately understood Augustus' intention.

"There is still such a trick." Tychus thought for a while, and they really didn't know the structure of the temple at the beginning.

After a while, there was a deafening roar from the brightly shining dome in the sky, and a shining purification beam descended from the sky, shaking the Temple of Urna violently, and a large number of building fragments fell one after another, falling heavily on the ground .

A dazzling warp matrix light curtain descended from the sky, and hundreds of Templar warriors from the Golden Age holding solar battle axes landed on the battlefield.Immediately afterwards, the Purifier's teleportation beacon was also launched nearby, and hundreds of Purifier sentries and legion soldiers also arrived at the temple.

A few minutes later, the airdrop pod launched from the Tyranid Empire fleet was long overdue, but it was not the fully armed imperial marines, but the original zerg covered with thick carapace and the cyborg transformed cybernetics. Russ Engineering Warhound Zerg.

The most eye-catching one is a huge primitive Zerg that resembles a theropod dinosaur. It is taller than ordinary Goliath armed robots, and its eyes emit a dim yellow light.

It is worth noting that on the huge head of this original Zerg there is also a miniature version of the green brain worm, shaped like a green caterpillar.

When the original Zerg walked towards Augustus, he also spent a lot of time explaining that these Zergs were allies of the Tyrann Empire before letting the protoss put down the psionic blades in their hands.

This was not unacceptable to Artanis. Emperor Augustus Mengsk had allies spread throughout the Koprulu sector, ranging from humans to protoss to zerg.

Nor does it seem necessarily unacceptable to tell Artanis that an ancient Xel'naga was serving Augustus.

"This is Dehaka, a patriarch of the original Zerg group." Augustus introduced to Artanis and others:
"This is Cerebral Worm Alpha, my right-hand man."

"Hmm." The cerebrate above Dehaka's head nodded rather reservedly, did not speak, and continued to maintain majesty and mystery.

In front of Protoss, this guy is still quite a dog.

"Have a cigarette?" Tychus took out a cigar out of it without knowing it.

"Light it up." Cerebral Worm held the cigar in his mouth, signaled Tychus to light it with his eyes, and exhaled heavily:

"The main character always comes to the fore."

"Dehaka, you have no essence and can't get up early." Renault naturally knows Dehaka. This primitive zerg has kept a clone hanging in the Augustgrad Palace all year round, and he also hangs out with humans. It's quite familiar.

"The Emperor of the Tyrannian Empire said that there is essence here." Dehaka shrank his paws and curled them around his waist: "He lied to Dehaka."

"I dare say that there is the most powerful essence in this universe here, and I will never deceive you." Augustus naturally painted a big cake for Dehaka, but this guy doesn't look very smart, but he is actually So cunning, it's hard to fool.

Augustus was most concerned about the remains of the Xel'Naga in the depths of the Temple of Urna, and those remains may still be able to extract a little remaining Xel'Naga essence-the key to the promotion of ordinary races to become Xel'Naga, a little The Xel'Naga Essence can revive everything on a planet that has been completely destroyed.

With just a drop of Xel'Naga essence, Dehaka might be able to evolve into Godzilla in situ.

But this good thing cannot be given in vain.

"A dirty brain worm!" On the other hand, Selendis made no secret of his contempt for the Zerg.

"Nonsense, I take a shower every day." The cerebrate argued.

"." Artanis was silent for a while, and then said to Augustus: "This is the brain worm you raised? I feel a powerful energy in it that far exceeds that of ordinary brain worms!"

"You protoss are not blind occasionally." The brain worm chuckled: "That's right, it's right here."

Fortunately, Augustus had already prepared, this time he also brought the royal cerebrate Alpha just in case, and locked it in the cell next to Tychus.This guy is a house bug anyway, playing video games at home every day.

In order to get rid of Amon's influence on the Zerg, Augustus also transformed it into a primitive brain worm early on.

In any case, the habit of Augustus is to prepare early.Prepare more means, you may not need them, but you cannot have them.

This is his style.

"In the past." Augustus ignored this cerebrum that pretended to be powerful, and pointed to let it stand in front of the Hall of Revelation.

"What are you going to do again?" The brain worm squinted at Augustus, a little surprised, and it actually didn't know what it was here for.

"I won't go! Emperor Dog, I knew it would be no good!"

It's a pity that it can't help itself. Since Augustus promised to use the essence as a reward, Dehaka, who is obsessed with essence, naturally obeys him.

Dehaka stretched out his claws and pushed the restless cerebrum back. He came to the Hall of Enlightenment under the ornate columns and stood side by side with Artanis.

In the blink of an eye, a strange change took place, and the vortex-shaped and geometric loops on the surface of the Hall of Revelation suddenly burst into light, and the magnificent megalithic building slowly rose.

In a blinding flash, the first Hall of Revelation was activated.

It seems that if you want to be recognized by the Hall of Revelation, you still lack the key Zerg.

But in the eyes of humans like Augustus and Renault, the Hall of Revelation didn't seem to have undergone any obvious changes except that it became brighter.

"Do you understand?" Augustus asked the brain worm.

"Ah, my brain is so itchy." The brain worm thought for a while and said, "This light is really bright."

"I saw it." Only Artanis said slowly: "The Sarnaga are the original existence, they were born in the void. They have a sacred mission: to create life and escort endless reincarnation. When new When the universe is born, they will use the avatar to enter this universe."

"Once the avatar is destroyed, they will be forced back into the void. All this time, they have been waiting for us to assemble the Xel'Naga Keystone and come here according to the guidance."

"So, Amon shouldn't have his own incarnation." Augustus continued, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have to invent his own 'rebirth'."

　After thinking about it, these settings still have to be written, otherwise the plot will not be accepted.
