Kerrigan was also cautious about BB, after all, the last Narud was troublesome enough, and now a guy named BB had appeared, who knew what kind of weird things he would do. However, when Kerrigan thought of those huge meteorite pillars on the battlefield, she couldn't help but suspect that it was that guy named BB who was behind it.

That is indeed the case.

"What exactly did you do?!"

Located on the top floor of the Khar Palace, Mengsk stared angrily at the purple-haired girl who appeared before him—yes, BB.

The other party suddenly appeared and asked him if he wanted to gain power. Mengsk naturally didn't want to pay attention to such an unknown person. He called the guards to deal with the other party. However, to Mengsk's surprise, the communication inside the room could not be transmitted, and the guards outside seemed not to hear him. This made Mengsk very angry. After all, what were those soldiers doing if they couldn't even stop one person?

Mengsk was still bewildered as to how a young girl could break through the tight security of Korhal Palace to get here. BB, however, wasn't angry at Mengsk's outburst. Instead, she looked at him with a grin and said, "Oh dear~ don't be angry, Führer Mengsk. Getting angry isn't good for your health. Besides, I'm not here to take your life, but to promote my products~"

P.S.: The ban has finally been lifted, although there are hardly any complaints.

Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Home]: Chapter 1867 [The Collapse]

Upon hearing BB's words, Mengsk naturally ignored this guy of unknown origin. Out of rationality, Mengsk did not believe what this guy was saying, and at the same time, he instinctively felt that it would be troublesome to get involved with this guy of unknown origin.

"I don't need your stuff. Now, get out of my palace right now!" Mengsk shouted, pointing at the other man while secretly reaching for the self-defense pistol hidden under the table. Mengsk didn't think he could shatter this strange guy's illusions with his prophecy.

Upon hearing Mengsk's words, BB closed his eyes, looked helpless, spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "Oh dear~ it seems Führer Mengsk doesn't do business with people like me..."

“That’s right!” With that, Mengsk seized the opportunity, pulled a pistol from under his table, aimed it at BB in front of him, and pulled the trigger. With a loud gunshot, Mengsk noticed that BB in front of him had suddenly disappeared. Seeing this, Mengsk was dumbfounded. He obviously couldn’t understand why BB in front of him had suddenly disappeared. However, before Mengsk could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his neck, which made him cry out in pain. He then reached up and pulled the thing stuck in his neck out.

Mengsk stared at the syringe-like object in his hand with a puzzled expression, but before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his body, radiating from his internal organs. This caused Mengsk to stumble and fall to the ground. Feeling the pain, Mengsk clutched his chest and struggled on the ground. At this moment, purple marks resembling the patterns on a circuit board appeared on Mengsk's body, clearly symptoms of Honkai infection.

BB, watching Mengsk struggle from behind, teased, "Well~ BB-chan isn't a bad person, is she? Since Führer Mengsk doesn't want to buy it, then BB-chan will give you this good thing~" Then, as if remembering something, BB clapped her hands and said, "Right, you'll die very quickly if you do that. Let me mediate for you a little."

As she spoke, BB pulled a golden cup from her wide sleeve and said, "BB-chan, Holy Grail-kun~ I'm speechless~"

BB poured the Holy Grail from her hand towards Mengsk, and the black liquid inside dripped onto Mengsk, instantly enveloping him. Watching this, BB revealed a sinister smile and said, "Heh heh, what happens next is going to be very interesting~"

On Yhwach's side, at the edge of a stone pillar, Kerrigan and Yhwach observed the tower-like pillar. Although they didn't know what it was, Yhwach recognized it as a building material of the Xel'Naga Temple, and the energy it emitted was the same as the energy Yhwach had sensed before—void energy.

Kerrigan felt that the appearance of these stone pillars was clearly the work of the Narud. Although she didn't know how the stone pillars appeared, Kerrigan still intended to destroy them.

Even so, those stone pillars are not so easy to clear. Besides being extremely hard, these things can also attack any enemy that attacks them.

In addition, the void energy field formed by the stone pillars and the constantly projected armies also caused considerable trouble for the mission to attack the stone pillars. Kerrigan also found this very troublesome, but Ulysse did have some things that could solve these problems.

That's the Draken laser drill. This kind of thing once broke through the gate of the Xel'Naga ruins. It's perfect for remotely destroying stone pillars. Moreover, these Draken laser drills have been improved and enhanced by church technicians, making them perfect for dealing with this kind of thing.

Soon, after the church's technicians had prepared multiple Drakens laser drills, they began to activate them. As the scorching beams of light focused on one of the stone pillars, the pillars were dumbfounded because the Drakens laser drills' attack range far exceeded the pillars' attack range. In response, they could only send out a large number of projected armies to attack.

Of course, in this case, Kerrigan and the others wouldn't have to worry about these things. Without the corrosive void energy and the stone pillars that could hit people, those projected armies were basically no match for the Zerg swarm. Soon, under the onslaught of the Dracon laser drills, the stone pillars were broken.

Under such a sustained offensive, the stone pillars that blocked the swarm quickly fell. After all the stone pillars were destroyed, the swarm advanced unimpeded toward the location of the Khar Palace.

Looking at the massive, pyramid-like Korhal Palace not far away, Kerrigan clenched her fists, her excitement outweighing her anger. Soon, she would be able to end all of this.

However, just as Kerrigan and her companions were heading in that direction, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the top floor of Korhal Palace. Kerrigan and her companions were stunned by this sight, clearly not expecting such a bright light to suddenly burst forth from Korhal Palace.

"What happened?" Kerrigan looked at the distant Korhal Palace with a puzzled expression as she watched the burst of light in the distance. With her excellent senses, Kerrigan could also sense a powerful energy bursting out from afar, but it was not psionic energy.

Meanwhile, Yhaka, standing to the side, clearly sensed that the powerful energy was Honkai energy, and this realization left Yhaka puzzled.

In response, Yuhaka inquired about this with Mebius, who was playing the Adam and Eve game with him in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

In the sea of ​​consciousness of Yohaka, Mebius was studying the Undying Worm. This world of consciousness was created based on the essence that Yohaka had seen and absorbed. If there were no accidents, the things in Yohaka's consciousness space were no different from reality.

It's just that Yhaka didn't make use of these abilities, and Mebius felt it was a great pity after learning that Yhaka had these abilities. How wonderful it would be if these abilities were used for various experiments!

It's a pity it's all wasted on a little idiot's brain. Mebius felt a bit sorry about this. At this moment, Yuhaka approached Mebius and asked, "Snake, why is there Honkai energy outside? Is it something Snake left behind?"

"???" Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, a few small questions popped up on Mebius's head. He clearly didn't understand what Yuhaka was talking about. However, Mebius quickly understood what was going on. Mebius looked at Yuhaka and asked, "Little mouse, can you sense that there are other places in this world where Honkai energy exists?"

When asked about Mebius's question, Yuhaka paused for a moment to think before nodding and saying, "Yes, Yuhaka sensed Honkai energy in a place that looked like a large pyramid, and it was quite a lot."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's reply, Mebius immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Honkai energy, so it was that guy who took my things and caused some trouble...." Seeing Mebius's aggressive expression, Yuhaka took a step back, afraid of being bitten. However, Yuhaka still asked Mebius what was going on.

Regarding Ehaka's question, Mebius sighed slightly and explained to Ehaka that, according to Mebius, BB took away the Honkai energy he had specially prepared before leaving, which was the container that had previously contained the purple liquid.

The container with the purple liquid contained a high concentration of Honkai energy. Initially, Mebius intended to use this Honkai energy as an energy source and for research purposes. However, after arriving in this world, Mebius realized that Honkai energy was utterly insignificant. He even forgot that he had brought this thing with him. It was only after being brutally beaten by Yuhaka that Mebius remembered that he had brought this thing with him.

Mebius originally intended to destroy this thing, but unexpectedly, BB intercepted it, which made Mebius very angry. However, now that Yuhaka said that a powerful Honkai energy was erupting outside, Mebius believed that BB was behind it, since only the other party had stolen his Honkai energy container.

Mebius wasn't quite sure what BB intended to do with his things, but one thing was certain: it definitely wasn't for any good.

..............................................

..............................................

When the scene shifted to reality, a powerful energy burst forth at the Korhal Palace. This Honkai energy reaction was also detected on the Hyperion high in orbit. The fact that it erupted at the Korhal Palace surprised everyone there, as they did not expect that the Korhal Palace would experience a massive explosion before Kerrigan even entered the palace.

Upon witnessing this, Horner immediately contacted Kerrigan and the others, asking, "Kerrigan, what happened down there? Why is there such a powerful energy reaction erupting from Korhal Palace?"

Kerrigan was also puzzled by Horner's question, saying, "No, I'm not quite sure about that either, but could it be an energy reaction caused by Mengsk using the Xel'Naga artifact?"

"No, this is definitely not an energy reaction produced by the Xel'Naga artifact." Horner also rejected Kerrigan's question without hesitation. After all, the Hyperion's database had records of energy reactions produced by the Xel'Naga artifact, and this was not energy produced by the Xel'Naga artifact at all. Instead, it was a reaction of Honkai energy that they had recorded.

To be honest, they didn't expect that a powerful Honkai energy reaction would erupt here, which made them a little worried. After all, Theresa and the others had explained Honkai energy to them before, and it could potentially lead to the destruction of a planet if not handled properly.

Although it's not as threatening as the current Zerg Swarm and Kerrigan, Horner still told Kerrigan this information. Hearing Horner's words, Kerrigan naturally felt a little uneasy. To be honest, Kerrigan hates anything outside of plans.

Even so, Kerrigan will not give up her revenge here, especially since her revenge is now so close.

Under Kerrigan's command, the Zerg swarm accelerated its advance, intending to end this final battle quickly.

But at that moment, something strange happened on the Imperial positions in the distance. A large number of soldiers suddenly let out painful howls, as if they were suffering some kind of pain. And these soldiers had a common phenomenon: purple circuit board stripes on their bodies. Soon, these soldiers died in such agony.

Seeing this, Kerrigan also showed a puzzled expression, but soon she saw the dead soldiers stand up again. However, the soldiers who stood up this time were very different. First of all, the soldiers were smaller in size, and their equipment also began to change, becoming like women's equipment. Soon, a group of girls holding various futuristic cold weapons appeared in front of Kerrigan.

Seeing this scene reminded Kerrigan of the information provided by Horner: ordinary people exposed to high-density Honkai energy would be eroded by the Honkai energy and transformed into derivatives similar to infected humans—zombies. At first, Kerrigan didn't pay much attention to it, but now she didn't think it was that simple.

Soon, with the emergence of Honkai energy, a large number of Honkai Beasts also began to appear. These Honkai Beasts varied greatly in size and strength, but their numbers were no less than those of a swarm of insects.

At that moment, Kerrigan heard a familiar voice coming from above Korhal Palace.

"Kerrigan, the era of the Zerg swarm dominating the planet and ruling the world with a single hand is over!"

“Mengsk…” Kerrigan looked towards the top floor of Korhal Palace, where she saw Mengsk's figure, though Mengsk looked very different now.

Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to the Hometown - Youyou]: Chapter 1868 [Becoming Stronger Doesn't Mean You Can Win]

Seeing Mengsk atop the palace in the distance, Kerrigan noticed something was wrong with him; at this moment, Mengsk was practically unrecognizable as human.

At this moment, Mengsk sprouted a pair of tentacle-like limbs and wings composed of light bands from his back, looking like a fusion of two hybrids. Moreover, Mengsk's head was adorned with sharp horns like dragon horns, which did not look like decorations at all. Mengsk's eyes were also emitting a psionic light, and the imperial head's clothing on his body was tattered. His body was covered with carapaces that looked like alien insects, making him look like a monster.

"Just because you've gained new power?" Kerrigan looked at Mengsk in the distance with a disdainful expression. Although that's what Kerrigan said on the surface, she didn't dare to underestimate Mengsk. After all, Mengsk's power hadn't been fully revealed yet, so Kerrigan was very cautious.

In response to Kerrigan's provocation, Mengsk gripped the bulging psionic energy in his right hand and declared, "Yes, with my new power and my army, Kerrigan, the Swarm's doom begins today!"

After saying that, Mengsk began to send his Honkai army to attack Kerrigan and her group. Kerrigan was not afraid of the Honkai Beasts and the army of assassins rushing over. She commanded, "Very good. Izusa, Yuu, Stukov, Zagara, all my Queens and Queens, the tactical planning phase is over. Now what we need to do is tear them apart and attack. Don't stop until all the enemies are killed."

Under Kerrigan's orders, the Zerg swarm began its attack, while Yhwach's primitive Zerg and the Church's Defenders took action.

After the enemy changed from Imperial soldiers to an army composed of suicide soldiers and Honkai beasts, the fighting style also changed a lot. Due to the Honkai energy, Mengsk's army of suicide soldiers and Honkai beasts was constantly being produced. However, it was not without its downsides. The reason was that the armed puppets on the side of the Empire designed by Mebius suddenly turned against them and launched an attack on Mengsk's suicide soldiers and Honkai beasts.

The reason is quite simple: Mebius designed a special underlying code for these armed puppets. If these puppets detect a high-energy Honkai energy reaction, they will not hesitate to target the object that generates the high-energy Honkai energy reaction, even if it is a former ally.

This underlying code was prepared in case Honkai could appear in this world. Mengsk didn't pay much attention to the sudden betrayal of the armed dolls because he had become more powerful and naturally had no interest in things that were like dolls. However, the fact that the tools dared to rebel against their master annoyed Mengsk, so he used his power to destroy the production center located at his military base.

As a massive stone pillar emerged from a void rift and crashed into the factory producing the armed puppets, the surrounding factories were instantly razed to the ground. At the same time, a large amount of void energy eroded the surrounding land, and numerous army projections were generated, joining the fight against the Kerrigan swarm.

Seeing this, Kerrigan said to Yhaka, "Yhaka, you guys take those stone pillars. Leave that old bastard Mengsk to me."

Upon hearing Kerrigan's words, Yhaka led his troops to deal with the stone pillar. With the power of the Drakens laser drill, the stone pillar was quickly destroyed. Mengsk was slightly taken aback when he saw his stone pillar being destroyed by the tools, but soon Mengsk also dropped several stone pillars. These stone pillars emitted different colors of light, which were obviously much more conspicuous than the other stone pillars. As if to prove that these stone pillars were different from others, the light emitted by the stone pillars also caused some special phenomena in the surrounding area.

For example, a stone pillar was surrounded by a frozen wasteland, with the surrounding buildings and ground covered by a thick layer of sharp ice. The Honkai Beasts and the zombies within were also affected, but not negatively. Instead, ice-like patterns appeared on the bodies of these zombies and Honkai Beasts, and they were also able to use ice element attacks.

Although it doesn't really matter to Kerrigan's Zerg swarm, since Kerrigan and her crew once lived on an extremely cold planet, the cold is basically nothing to them.

The primitive insects of Yuhaka also mutated quickly when faced with such extreme cold. They developed fat and fur for insulation, which made fighting in such a cold environment virtually no problem.

Meanwhile, various wonders appeared in the areas within the other stone pillars, such as areas erupting with thunder and lightning, areas that turned into scorching infernos, and areas formed by numerous tornadoes.

However, none of this will cause too much trouble. Yhaka's primitive Zerg and Abathur will soon make corresponding adjustments to deal with this special extreme weather.

This also meant that Jhaka's primitive Zerg and Kerrigan's swarm didn't encounter much trouble in the enemy's territory. With Jhaka and her allies' offensive, they quickly destroyed most of the stone pillars. At this time, Kerrigan and Mengsk also clashed. At first, Kerrigan was caught off guard by Mengsk's powerful strength, but how could Mengsk possibly compare to the battle-hardened Kerrigan?

Soon, Mengsk was repelled by Kerrigan's counterattack. Of course, although Mengsk was repelled, in order to recover his strength, he created more stone pillars to block the attack of Kerrigan and her Zerg swarm.

This also affected Kerrigan and her team's offensive progress. Kerrigan was quite annoyed by the stone pillars. At the same time, Ulysse's Draken laser drill could not continue indefinitely, as the mechanical components would overheat, requiring component replacement before the attack could continue.

Although the unique environment created by some of the stone pillars could withstand the attacks of the church's war knights, it did not prevent them from using ranged attacks to destroy those stone pillars.

At this moment, the Hyperion arrived with a fleet. Kerrigan, who had sensed Raynor, looked at the Hyperion descending from the sky with a surprised expression, as she had not expected Raynor to come down.

“Let’s end this.” Raynor, aboard the Hyperion, said this while looking at Kerrigan. Hearing Raynor’s thoughts through psionic energy, Kerrigan nodded and smiled, saying, “Yes, let’s end this.”

Mengsk, sensing Hyperion's arrival from afar, couldn't help but feel annoyed and said, "Jim Raynor, are you going to stop me too?!"

Raynor looked at Mengsk with a serious expression and said, "Look at what you've done! You've turned Korhal into a hell!" Hearing Raynor's words, Mengsk looked at him indifferently and said, "So what! As long as I eliminate that monster, the Queen of Blades, I'll pay any price! Even if I turn the entire Korhal into hell, humanity will be the sole ruler of this Koprulu Sector!"

Hearing Mengsk's words, Renault frowned and looked at Mengsk, saying, "Mengsk, you've gone completely mad..."

Valerian, standing to the side, shook his head and sighed upon hearing his father's words. Clearly, his father was beyond saving. Valerian then looked at Renault and said, "Commander Renault, that man is no longer my father, but a monster who has fallen into madness."

At the same time, Yuhaka also called for other reinforcements. As the battlecruisers warped over, several Gorgon-class battlecruisers appeared above Korhal. Raynor was startled when he saw this, as he thought it was Mengsk's reinforcements. However, the radar showed friendly signals, which made Raynor look puzzled.

"This is the Hephaestus, Commander! I've brought my sisters to support you~" Hephaestus greeted Yuhaka from the bridge of the Hephaestus. Upon hearing that Hephaestus had arrived, Yuhaka waved her little hand towards the Hephaestus in the sky to say hello.

Soon, Yuhaka pointed to the stone pillars in the distance, instructing Hephaestus and the others to take care of those things. Upon seeing Yuhaka's instruction, Hephaestus also aimed the air-to-ground laser cannons of the Gorgon-class battlecruiser at the distant stone pillars and fired.

As beams of light rained down on the enemy's position, a massive explosion ensued, decimating numerous Honkai Beasts and zombies. Mengsk spotted the Gorgon-class battlecruisers attacking his position, but he was stunned. He hadn't expected to find Gorgon-class battlecruisers; most of his previous fleet had been lost in the previous battle of Char, and the remaining ones had been deployed elsewhere.

So where did the other side get these Gorgon-class battlecruisers?

Mengsk looked bewildered at this thought, but he quickly came to his senses and sent out troops to deal with the Gorgon-class battlecruiser. A large number of Assault-class Honkai Beasts attacked the Gorgon-class battlecruiser like swarms of locusts. Facing the enemy's swarms of Assault-class Honkai Beasts, Hephaestus was not worried about them at all.

After the engine room of the Gorgon-class battlecruiser opened, a large number of drones emerged. These drones were different from the Iron Raven drones; they were smaller and could store more, but they were only armed with two 25mm burst beams similar to those of the Wraith Fighter. Although their power was not great, they were perfect for dealing with groups of small enemies.

These small drones were developed based on the small interceptors on the Protoss carrier. Although they are slightly larger than the small interceptors on the Protoss carrier, they are at least no worse than the small interceptors on the Protoss carrier.

Furthermore, Hephaestus also equipped these small drones with missiles, which greatly enhanced their ability to cause damage to enemies. If they were equipped with high-explosive shells, they would be able to deal with groups of enemies very well.

Meanwhile, on Yuhaka's side, a large number of Primal Rippers, which resemble worms, were also deployed. These Rippers were units within the Tyranid swarm. These little guys were much smaller than the Primal Termagnebes, about the size of a cat.

These primitive tearing worms have teeth that can tear through metal, so tearing through the silicon-based shells of Honkai Beasts is no problem. Although they look like snakes, they are not slow and can dig tunnels to move around. Moreover, these primitive tearing worms can grow a pair of wings to fly at high altitudes.

Their function is different from that of ordinary primitive Zerg. They are created by Yhaka to plunder essence and biomass, serving as snacks for primitive Zerg. Similarly, if there are no primitive Zerg, these things will return to the nearest hatchery after they have eaten their fill, replenishing that hatchery with essence and biomass.

In a sense, these little creatures are similar to units like peasants and mining carts in some strategy games, and these little bugs are also well-suited for use as consumables.

After the swarms of Primal Rippers grew wings, they flew into the sky like bats to support their companions. At the same time, some Primal Zerg, which resembled Primal Temaggans and had wings like flying dragons, also appeared here. These Primal Zerg were now Gargoyles. These Primal Gargoyles had a pair of wings with wing membranes and carried symbiotic weapons. Although their legs were obviously degenerated, they were still very agile when moving on the ground, although they were much slower than the Primal Temaggans.
