The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 382: Terrazine! The Fall of the Gods and the Resurrection of Psychic Power! The Killer!
Originally, the Tal'darim planned to catch the Megacorps and Rangers off guard before they could gain a foothold.

Unexpectedly, they suffered a setback right from the start.

Now the Tal'darim can only wait patiently for more troops to gather, and then look for an opportunity to launch an attack on the frontline base of the Universal Corporation.

"Fortunately, their psychic warriors have not yet been fully assembled, otherwise, we would not be enough for them to chop down."

Jim Raynor looked at the retreating psychic warriors with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief. This small number of enemies almost broke through their defense line. He couldn't imagine how fierce the battle would be later!
"The difficulty of fighting this group of Protoss is much greater than I imagined."

You know, the soldiers of the Terran Federation will more or less undergo some genetic modifications to make themselves have stronger physiques.

Most of the Rangers are Federation soldiers, but even so, they are almost powerless against the Tal'darim psychic warriors!
If the giant company's firepower had not been fierce enough, these psychic warriors would have already killed their way into the command center as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Your weapons are quite special. I have never seen this type of equipment before. To be honest, I have begun to believe that you are indeed a super civilization from another universe."

Renault chuckled and looked at Paul.

Paul shrugged helplessly. It was indeed a little difficult to believe this, but it was the fact.

In fact, the vast majority of the world's largest companies' technological advances and military products are not developed by themselves.

Most of them are obtained for free from various universes. For example, the hard light series of firearms are "inherited" from the Forerunner civilization of the Halo universe.

Here, after repelling the psychic warriors, the Rangers and Megacorp troops lost no time in building a frontline combat base on the high ground.

As the defense line gradually improved, they temporarily gained a foothold on the star of Baysher.

But the Tal'darim will definitely not give up.

In the following period of time, they will summon more combat units and launch a more fierce attack here.

Paul was not panicked about this. They had a large number of carrier-based aircraft and AI drones in the air to provide support, so they did not need to worry about the counterattack of the Tal'darim.

Looking at the positions that were beginning to take shape on the front line, Paul nodded with satisfaction. With the defense of these turrets and air forces, the Tal'darim warriors dared to come.

The world's giant companies dare to send these natives to hell!

Just as Paul was standing in front of the central console of the command center, observing the movements of the Tal'darim troops through the AI ​​reconnaissance aircraft, the Master Chief suddenly came over and said to him:
"Paul, we have a new discovery. We need to report this to headquarters!"

Seeing that the sergeant's expression was somewhat abnormal, Paul immediately followed him out of the command center, and soon the two came to a jungle.

At this moment, a mysterious purple gas was rising from the pit. At first glance, Paul thought that a chemical leak had occurred here.

At this moment, the scientific research team of the giant enterprise is collecting and analyzing the composition of the gas and transmitting the data back to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.

Upon receiving the information, Ott Cunningham immediately used the AI ​​of the Science Hub to quickly analyze the role and function of the gas.

Inside the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, Qiansi Fox, Otto Cunningham, Dr. Halsey and others gathered together to report to Leon on the various mineral and gas information of the planet Bayshell.

"Report to the boss, our frontline troops have discovered a special purple gas on the planet Baisher."

Qiansihu will present the analysis report and ingredient data to everyone through a hard light screen.

At first they thought it was an energy source similar to high-energy gas, but in terms of color and composition, it was somewhat different.

"According to the intelligence provided by the rangers, this gas is called 'terrazine' and is one of the core resources of the Tal'darim. They call it the Breath of the Creator."

"It is said that the function of terazine is to strengthen the psychic power of the Protoss, so there will be a large number of psychic warriors guarding the terazine vents there."

After listening to Qiansihu's report, Li Ang had already recalled the function of this gas.

The so-called terazine is actually a hallucinogenic gas, which was originally used by the Tal'darim to establish contact with Amon.

This thing can indeed enhance certain potentials of the human body and stimulate spiritual energy, but the side effect after taking it is that it can make people crazy and mentally ill.

In a sense, diazines and spices have the same effect. When people are high, they will sense the energy of higher-dimensional space or the call of higher-dimensional creatures in their half-asleep and half-awake hallucinations.

Li Ang nodded thoughtfully and responded, "This thing is very valuable for research. Let Paul send some terazine back."

"Yes!"

In the StarCraft universe, thoughts and consciousness can also play a huge role as spiritual energy, and terazine can give people the power of idealism.

To put it simply, humans can also activate their own spiritual energy through terazine and master skills similar to spiritual cultivation!
In the universe that has been conquered by the cosmic giant, the spice of "Dune" and the force of "Star Wars" actually point to one truth.

That is, the higher dimensions are pouring energy into the physical universe, and only a very small number of people can bear this energy. Those who cannot bear it will either be transformed into monsters or become mentally ill.

The void plane of the "StarCraft" universe will naturally pour spiritual energy into the three-dimensional universe. It can be said that this universe is a place where "everyone can cultivate immortality"!

Not only can everyone practice Taoism, but there are also many positions for ascending to become gods.

After all, the evil god Amon, the little Deng, just killed a bunch of old Xel'Naga Dengs. Matter will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred to other places.

These dead Xel'Naga will flow their spiritual energy into the three-dimensional universe plane, which will be materialized in reality as the appearance of a large number of energy crystals, high-energy gas, terazine and other substances.

The magical substance is a gift from God.

The immortal cultivation environment in the "StarCraft" universe would be an era background of "the fall of gods and the revival of spiritual energy" in other dimensions!

"We must take over Beysher and take over all the terrazine here."

Li Ang made up his mind.

Since the StarCraft universe has a channel for ascending to transcendence, the giant corporation must block this channel, and anyone who wants to ascend must get the consent of the giant corporation!

Within the giant global company, there are still too few warriors with the abilities of "cultivating immortals or having supernatural powers".

Even the Science Hub has developed a retrovirus targeting the Force, which can give the warriors of Megacorp the ability to learn the Force.

However, the efficiency of absorbing and converting the Force is still too low. It would be better to directly select Jedi Knights and Sith Knights from the "Star Wars" universe as soldiers.

However, the side effects of using spices to develop human superpowers are too great. It is already quite good if it can improve physical strength and enhance perception.

There is still a long way to go before one can become a saint by rubbing the magic ball with their hands.

However, the terazine of the planet Baisher can enable humans in three-dimensional space to establish a connection with the spiritual energy of the void plane. This is equivalent to a practitioner using his spiritual roots to absorb spiritual energy in order to cultivate and become an immortal!

If the giant corporation of the universe can support its own god spokesperson in the void plane, and then mass-produce people to train into psychic warriors, it can control the subsequent ascended members.

That is the complete integration and control of the entire StarCraft universe.

'The Universal Corporation has never had such a terrifying level of integration and control over a universe. Even the gods of the void plane can be controlled!'

Thinking of this grand plan, Li Ang made a prompt decision:

"Our goal must not be just the keystone fragments, the terrazine on the planet Besher. No, all terrazine resources must be under our control!"

Since we need to preserve all the terrazine resources as much as possible, we cannot rely on orbital bombardment or burning glass to exterminate the local indigenous Tal'darim.

Either use the Scorpion Tail Virus to kill all the Tal'darim Protoss, or rely on ground troops to slowly advance and capture the local resource areas.

"Boss, do we need to let the front-line troops release the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus?" Morgan Blackhand asked.

If you want to pursue high efficiency, using the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus to get rid of the problem once and for all is certainly a very good choice, and using neutrons to kill is also a good choice.

However, the use of these heavyweight strategic weapons requires Leon's approval.

"No, let's use the ground troops to advance for now. We can fight and negotiate with the Tal'darim at the same time. We can get the keystone fragments first and leave the rest to the ground troops."

Leon knew very well that now was not the time for a showdown. If the Tal'darim Protoss here were exterminated, the Protoss camp would definitely regard the Universal Corporation as an enemy.

This is not because the Protoss will avenge the Tal'darim, but because the power displayed by the giant enterprises will definitely attract the attention of the Protoss.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. The Protoss, who are afraid of being affected, will definitely take the initiative to attack the world's giant companies to avoid becoming the next victim.

Therefore, before the global giant has accumulated enough advantages, don't act rashly and just keep a low profile as much as possible.

It won’t be too late to push forward once all the key stone fragments have been collected.

"Yes, I'll let Paul go down and do it now!"

Immediately, Morgan Blackhand conveyed the results of the high-level meeting and Leon's instructions to Paul.

After learning about the headquarters' attitude and determination to capture the planet Baysher, Paul came to the Rangers' command center.

At this moment, Jim Raynor was also discussing the next countermeasures with his subordinates, but a strange mysterious man appeared in their base.

The man's eyes were white, making him look like a blind man. His dark skin allowed him to blend almost perfectly into the darkness. His tight combat uniform seemed to indicate that he was a ghost agent.

However, Paul did not sense the solemn and murderous aura that only belongs to an agent from the other person. On the contrary, that person's temperament tended to be more secretive and low-key.

Immediately, Renault took the initiative to introduce Paul: "Paul, you came at the right time. This is Gabriel Tosh, a former ghost agent of the Terran Federation." "Now he is mainly responsible for our intelligence business and can be regarded as our partner."

Gabriel Tosh showed strong psychic talent since he was a child. After joining the Terran Federation, he was selected to join the infamous Ghost Project.

Project Ghost is an inhumane human experiment. Agents selected to become Ghosts will gradually become insane during the almost brutal training.

Therefore, many agents tried to escape from this land of death, and Tosh was one of the lucky ones. He successfully escaped and now has become an arms dealer and resource pirate.

His daily job is to run around to meet the needs of various forces. In order to earn more rewards, Tosh can serve any force.

"Hello."

Tosh walked up and shook Paul's hand. The two looked at each other the whole time, as if trying to see through the other person.

"My business is all over the Koprulu sector. If you need anything, maybe I can help you." Tosh did not forget to promote his business.

"Okay." Paul responded politely.

Paul was very sure that there was no such person on the Hyperion. Since the other party appeared on the planet Baysher, it could only mean that he had already arrived here before.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

An agent who can sneak into the planet Baysher silently, this person's ability is indeed not to be underestimated!

Seeing Paul's suspicious look, Tosh took the initiative to explain: "I came here just to steal some terrazine, but I didn't expect to run into your ground troops on the way."

Tosh looked around the command center and asked, "Looking at the situation outside, it doesn't look like you're just doing this for a little terazine. Are you planning to occupy the entire Besher planet?"

Paul nodded and said, "We are indeed interested in the terrazine here, but our main target is the keystone fragments here. As for occupying this place, it depends on the development of the war on the front line."

Just as Paul and Tosh were talking, the Rangers' communication channel suddenly received an unknown signal.

After the signal was connected, the image that appeared on the holographic screen was the face of a Tal'darim Protoss, and that person was the local Tal'darim executive - Naion.

[You despicable and shameful humans, how dare you desecrate our holy land? Get out of here before our troops are dispatched, otherwise the wrath of the Tal'darim will burn you to death! ]

As soon as Naion arrived, he declared his sovereignty to everyone and threatened the coalition of giant companies to leave the planet Baysher.

"Sorry, we have our eyes on this beautiful planet. You can choose to make a deal with us. Give us Baysher and you can choose another planet to live on."

Paul also decided to use diplomacy before force. Anyway, the situation had developed to this point, and it would be impossible to force the giant companies to withdraw their troops for no reason.

[Don't even think about it! Long before you humans set foot in space, we have been living and multiplying here for countless years. Just because you are a despicable and lowly race, you are not worthy of getting your hands on the holy land of Tal'darim! ]

Naion cursed and said that in the eyes of the Protoss, humans and Zerg were actually lowly species that were not much different. Among the ascenders chosen by the Xel'Naga, there were Protoss and Zerg, but no humans.

The struggle between them and the Zerg had nothing to do with humans, but now that humans have intervened, many things have become much more chaotic and complicated.

Naion then cut off the communication conversation.

Paul did not take the Tal'darim's warning seriously. If such an insignificant warning could dissuade the Universal Corporation, the Corporation would not have grown to its current size.

The most important thing for the current giant enterprise frontline troops is to make adequate preparations as soon as possible and guard against the attacks of the Tal'darim.

According to the intelligence sent back from the AI ​​drone, the next round of attack should be coming soon.

Paul turned his head and looked at Tosh, and said to him bluntly: "Tosh, if you want more terrazine, then get your people to come and help with the work."

"I don't believe you dare to come here alone to steal terazine."

Tosh smiled and said, "Of course, as long as there is business to be done, my ghost agents and I are always ready to serve you."

"Just give me what I want."

Tosh came to the Ranger's command center for this very purpose. Various large facilities outside were excavating terazine and high-energy gas.

But they can make much more money than the small-scale operations with just their limited manpower.

If Tosh's men were stealing terrazine, then the Megacorp coalition forces were blatantly robbing it!
The amount they mined in a single day was equivalent to what Tosh stole in several months.

Afterwards, Paul revealed to Renault that the giant company's purpose of this trip was also to take over the entire planet of Baysher.

"Reno, our boss has spoken. We not only want the keystone fragments here, but also the entire Baysher planet. We want to monopolize the terazine here."

"If you have any different opinions, please raise them now."

Paul's words were not meant to discuss with Raynor, but to inform him. Raynor nodded tactfully, and did not sympathize with the Tal'darim here. He responded:
"I have no objection. Our mission is to take the keystone fragments here. The Rangers are not responsible for the rest. You can handle it on your own."

Jim Raynor shrugged. He didn't care about the life or death of the Protoss here. As long as he could gather the keystone fragments to save Kerrigan, nothing else mattered to him.

"That's good."

Everyone quickly determined their respective interests, and the Tal'darim warriors also launched a tentative attack.

This time they sent out a large number of killers, which were technological weapons that the Tal'darim obtained for free from other Protoss tribes.

These killers rely on four slender mechanical legs to run and walk on the ground, and have two particle fragmentation cannons for long-range attacks. In addition, the heads of Protoss will emerge from these mechanical bodies.

It looks like the Tal'darim have transformed their own people into this type of mechanical unit.

However, if we talk about the most powerful ability of these killers, it must be the phase flash function!

When they approached the front-line base built by humans, the turrets in the base would immediately lock onto these invading units, but the moment the howitzers fell, the killers disappeared out of thin air.

Only a red afterimage was left there!
When the AI ​​turret locked onto the enemy unit again, it found that the Killer had flashed out of the AI ​​turret's shooting range, and the previous bombardment did not cause any substantial damage to them.

Relying on its own phase flash ability, the killer can unscrupulously tease the AI ​​turrets and defending soldiers on the front line battlefield.

They kept probing back and forth at the edge of the defense line, consuming the ammunition of the AI ​​turrets and observing the defense system of the giant company.

It is obvious that the Tal'darim are not the kind of reckless men who only know how to charge into battle. They also know how to use tactics to target the enemy's weak points.

Once humans gradually relax their vigilance against this harassment tactic, that's when they'll launch a massive charge!
As expected, under the constant teasing and teasing of the killer, the rangers began to lose their patience, and it would only be a waste of ammunition to continue fighting like this.

Unlike the wealthy global corporations, the current Rangers are financially strapped, and the little ammunition they have has to be used sparingly.

Although the Rangers have formed an alliance with the Corporation, they are not used to using the Corporation's standard weapons for the time being, so they are still using their previous equipment.

After realizing that the humans were getting tired of it, the Killer gradually increased its probing efforts and began to use particle fragmentation cannons to destroy the AI ​​turrets.

These agile and swift killers are very similar to the "lurker" robots in the giant company Prometheus Corps, and their positioning on the battlefield also tends to be firepower-assisted offense.

However, before these jumping killers had time to rejoice for too long, the Universal Corporation summoned the hard light turret.

When the killer stepped into the defense line, a high-energy beam suddenly attacked, and the killer walking in front was instantly blasted into pieces by the beam.

Seeing this, the remaining killers quickly flashed back like frightened birds.

But this time, the global giant has sent out Tosh's ghost team!
While the Tal'darim sent out killers to attack, Paul was also observing the frequency and characteristics of the opponent's attacks.

He noticed that each time these killers used Phase Flash, they would need to recharge briefly before they could continue to come in and test.

So Paul decided to take the initiative and let Tosh's Ghost Squad block the cooldown of the Killer's flash and launch a sneak attack on the Tal'darim troops from behind.

These ghost agents are specially trained psychics. Some of them have defected from the Terran Federation, while others are gifted and self-taught.

Not only can they use psychic power to hide their own figures, but they can also use psychic power to shock the enemy's brain, causing a short-term stun effect.

Without the aid of detection equipment, not even the Protoss can detect these invisible ghost agents.

When the Killer used flash to escape the attack range of the Hard Light Turret, the Ghost Agent who was ambushed in advance jumped directly into the face to output.

Without any preparation, a large number of killers were attacked by Tosh and his ghost agents. They were controlled by psychic shock at first, and then shot in the head by force.

Combined with the long-range beam attacks of the hard light turret, these killers who are unable to use phase flash can only passively take the beating throughout the process.

The Killer is originally a light combat machine and cannot withstand such a fierce attack.

A large number of killers were destroyed into a pile of scrap metal by the giant enterprise's AI drones, ghost squads, and hard light cannons.

Only a very small number of killers were lucky enough to wait until the flash skill was ready and escape by using phase flash.

The harassment tactics of the Tal'darim have been completely declared bankrupt. With the AI ​​drone reconnaissance and hard light turrets of the world giant, it is difficult for them to gain the upper hand through active attacks.

In addition, Tosh's elusive ghost squad also caused the Tal'darim a lot of trouble.

If we forcibly attack the positions of the coalition of global giants, I'm afraid we won't gain much advantage.
