Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 74 I! The Swarm!

Without unified command and immersed in the grief of losing the connection with the hive mind, the cunning ones became vulnerable.

The cunning believers in the entire patriarch's hall were slaughtered quickly.

As the insect nest network of the thief leader was devoured, a new power seemed to appear in Gao Yi's body.

Gao Yi discovered that while the Xel'Naga projection was devouring the patriarch's psychic energy, it was also using its own power to knead and shape this power.

A new life seemed to be born in its hands.

Gao Yi looked at it carefully.

"Egg? An egg? Wait! It can't be an insect egg!"

When the insect egg was completely formed, it turned into a stream of spiritual energy and was directly injected into the body of the thief leader.

In the real universe, the patriarch's body began to twitch continuously, and his independent consciousness was swallowed up by the injection of this power.

Everyone around was watching this nervously.

"Lord! Come down quickly!"

The rangers called out to Gao Yi who was standing on the patriarch. They thought that the cunning patriarch was about to enter the second stage.

Only the high priest stood by without saying a word, although he also didn't know what was going on.

But death was coming to the Ji Zei leader. He could feel it, and even feel that the mark of death left on Ji Zei's body was disappearing.

This only happens if the target is about to die or is already dead.

When the priest sensed the death of the Jizhei clan leader, Gao Yi sensed a life being nurtured within the Jizhei clan leader's huge body...

After a while, the cunning chief was completely motionless. Although his body was still functioning, he had completely lost his self-awareness. In a sense, he was already dead.

"It's over, you've made the Rogue Trader!"

A smile also appeared on your face, High Priest. The Genestealer sect that had been fighting with them for over a hundred years was truly destroyed at this moment.

The high priest's words also ignited everyone present.

"We win! We win!"

"For the God-Emperor, for the Rogue Traders, long live the Monget Dynasty!"

For these soldiers, a powerful alien force was destroyed through their own efforts.

This sense of honor and accomplishment is beyond words.

"The battle isn't over yet! There are still a large number of aliens in the base nest! Everyone, immediately join the subsequent operation to eliminate the aliens. All officers, take your soldiers to the battlefield!

High Priest, your people are more familiar with the Underhive. I ask you and your followers to lead the way for my soldiers!"

"At your service!"

Gao Yi sent away all the non-warping rangers and watched everyone else leave. Gao Yi ordered these warping units to block off the entire place and not let anyone in.

Gao Yi jumped off the body of the cunning chieftain. He felt that a life was about to be born.

I am also closely connected with this life.

"Sir, why are you standing here looking at the corpse of this monster?"

Damon walked to Gao Yi's side and looked at the corpse with lingering fear.

But before Gao Yi could say anything, the cunning chief's stomach began to swell, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

Gao Yi felt uneasy when he saw this scene. Why did this scene look so much like an alien?

There wouldn’t be a howling alien crawling out for him, would it? He didn’t even load the Alien game!
With a series of cracking sounds, the stomach of the cunning chief was ripped open.

An exaggerated amount of spiritual energy gushed out from the breach, and the magnitude of this spiritual energy was even stronger than that of the cunning patriarch.

Along with this spiritual energy came a voice.

"I! am the Zerg!" Gao Yi opened his mouth wide when he heard this voice... Could he not know what this sentence meant?

Kerrigan, the queen and ruler of the Zerg, was finally upgraded to a Xel'Naga in the plot.

Damon and the Rangers' reactions were even greater than Gao Yi's.

Gao Yi was just playing games, but they had personally experienced the horror of the interstellar alien insects and witnessed the power of Kerrigan.

Everyone couldn't help but raise their guns. Although she was Raynor's old lover, it was hard to say which period of Kerrigan appeared here. She was ruthless when it came to killing humans.

"Wait... why does that voice sound so babyish? Isn't Kerrigan's voice like a queen's?"

As the spiritual energy subsided, Gao Yi bravely climbed onto the patriarch's body again and looked at the gap.

Gao Yi looked over, but instead of seeing Kerrigan in her Zerg Queen form, he saw a naked little girl of five or six years old...

At this time, the little girl who had released her spiritual energy seemed very weak. She actually kept tearing large pieces of flesh and blood from the body of the cunning chief and stuffed them into her mouth.

Gao Yi just watched quietly, just like many creatures that have just hatched from their shells will eat the eggshell to supplement their nutrition.

The cunning chief's huge body was being devoured by the little girl at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gao Yi couldn't understand how such a small body could fit so much food. It was simply incredible.

Gao Yi did not stop her, but just watched quietly. An hour later, the body of the cunning chief had completely disappeared, leaving only a skeleton without any flesh and blood. The little girl seemed to have no interest in the bones, and she even burped because she was full.

The little girl stood up and looked at Gao Yi. The rangers around her also witnessed the scene with their own eyes. Although it was not Queen Kerrigan who came out, eating the entire corpse of the patriarch was no different from a monster.

The little girl walked towards Gao Yi.

Damon immediately came to Gao Yi's side.

"Sir! This is a monster! Go away!"

But Gao Yi pushed Damon away and tore off some clothes from the corpse of a thief and put them on the little girl.

Gao Yi knew that the other party was not in any danger and his soul was connected to the little girl in front of him.

Gao Yi squatted down and carefully observed the little girl's appearance.

Although very immature, she is somewhat similar to Kerrigan in StarCraft.

"Is this the Queen as a child?!"

"Do you know who I am?" Gao Yi asked tentatively.

"I know! You're the father!"

"what?!"

Gao Yi, who was only 20 years old, had no idea he'd already had another girl before he even started dating. It was even autogenous, a phenomenon he'd witnessed with his own eyes, the creation of his own subdimensional projection.
There was no unnecessary expression on the little girl's face, and there was no emotion in her tone. Instead, she spoke out the information that came with the system like a machine.

"Then what's your name?"

"I don't have a name. My name is whatever my father calls me."

"Then your name will be Kerrigan from now on!"

"Thank you, father. From now on my name will be Kerrigan!"

After having a name, Gao Yi actually saw the little girl smile.

This shows that the other party is not a machine without independent consciousness.

"Can you tell father what you are capable of?"

"Ability? I can create insect eggs using the biomass or energy I absorb."

As she spoke, Kerrigan's palm began to wriggle. Some flesh and blood began to split out of her palm and then began to condense. Soon, an insect egg that was almost exactly the same as the one in the game appeared in front of Kerrigan.

Kerrigan pointed at the alien insect cocoon and looked at Gao Yi, as if showing off to Gao Yi.
