Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Are you kidding me? If he really had such a powerful monster, how could he possibly be afraid of Shara Kerrigan? He would have mass-produced such monsters long ago and gone to take care of the Queen of Blades.

A terrifying life form born from the fusion of the Protoss and the Zerg. Sounds incredibly powerful! Why didn't I think of this strategy before?

"A special foundation under your son has a doctor who is secretly researching this hybrid organism and has made groundbreaking progress."

"Send Ghost agents to investigate secretly! They should be able to uncover the truth. These monsters are incredibly powerful, and I can teach you how to control them," Rhodes said. (Here, "hybrid" and "mixed" are correct translations; it basically refers to monsters that are a mixture of Zerg and Protoss genes.)

The method to give Mengsk control of the hybrid was simple: Rhodes planned to first use his dark divine power to modify the other party.

Further enhance the combat power of these hybrid monsters, granting them the power of ancient Void Gods, and then hand over control to Mengsco.

This special hybrid is a very powerful species in the StarCraft universe.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will immediately send Ghost Agents to the Foundation to investigate."

"Also, if Jim Raynor is arrested, I will hand him over to you immediately." Mengsk nodded and said.

Since the other party had bestowed upon him such great power, he had to repay it. Mengsk was an excellent politician, and his mind was quite shrewd.

Therefore, it is very clear that when facing a strong person, you must learn to be humble and subservient. Since the other party can bestow such great power upon you, they can also easily take it back.

You need to learn to please them, just like when you first met Kerrigan.

Vinsk cleverly concealed all his hatred, showing great enthusiasm for Kerrigan and recruiting the Ghost Agent into the Empire's ranks, only to stab her in the back at the most crucial moment.

Mengsk even began to wonder, just who was this being before him? Could it be the legendary Xel'Naga?

It seems that only the Xel'Naga can explain the power possessed by the people before us; they are a group of gods in the truest sense.

"Your Excellency! Would you like to give these newly improved warriors a name?" Emperor Mengsk asked, kneeling on the ground.

"It's up to you! Arrange a place for me to stay. I'll be staying here for a while. To the outside world, just say that I'm the technical master you hired at a high price, and that I'll be providing you with some technical support," Rhodes said.

A group of warriors modified using the Extremis Virus and elixirs would indeed be much stronger than ordinary people, at least ten times stronger.

Even so, they were no match for Rhodes. He could easily defeat any Gold Saint he could find.

"So what if such a great god called them Space Marines? Or Imperial Warriors?" Mengsk asked, kneeling on the ground.

Hearing this, Rhodes was speechless. "Damn it! Space Marine! You really think this is Warhammer?"

In the following period, Mengsk began a large-scale military reform. First, he had the Empire's scientists analyze the Extremis virus brought by Rhodes, and then, based on the data, began to replicate the virus for mass production.

Because the raw materials were relatively easy to find, and there were no detailed blueprints or formulas, these scientists were able to mass-produce this extremist virus in just a few days.

Speaking of which, the Marvel universe is truly a bug-like existence. It hasn't even stepped into the interstellar world or become a spacefaring civilization yet, but it has already created one.

Even spacefaring civilizations are envious of the extinction virus, and even more powerful and bug-like black technology.

After acquiring these genetically modified Extremis viruses, Emperor Mengsk immediately deployed 10,000 Imperial troops, including his most elite personal guard, the Sons of Korhal, to undergo the modifications.

Rhodes also took out 10,000 ordinary pills and gave them to Mengsk, instructing him to give them to the warriors.

The pill that Rhodes took out was a pill that some cultivators in the Black Myth world could refine for use by mortals, called the Mighty Vajra Pill.

Warriors who take this pill can greatly improve their physical attributes, becoming incredibly strong and their bodies as solid as diamond, impervious to swords and blades. In the StarCraft world, even some ordinary firearms cannot harm them.

These lowest-grade pills can be easily made by Rhodes using any alchemy furnace and some low-grade medicinal herbs from his superior ranch, Xikunlun. They are essentially consumables.

Driven by some morbid curiosity, Rhodes modified these pills to allow humans who consumed them to grow rapidly, increasing their height by half.

In just a few days, the transformation of these Space Marines was completed, turning them into superhuman warriors, each over 2.5 meters tall and possessing unimaginable strength.

These modified Space Marines were quickly equipped with powerful armor and various weapons developed by the Empire, becoming a true elite force.

"Look! Great Ancestor Wutian, this is the army I created using the technology you taught me," Mengsk said excitedly.

For the sake of convenience, Rhodes directly used Amon's name, so that Emperor Mengsk would address him in that manner.

Looking at the army in front of him, Mengsk felt a surge of pride.

This is the army I envisioned, possessing incredibly powerful physical bodies, capable of directly engaging the Zerg in melee combat with their physical prowess, completely overwhelming the Protoss's physical attributes. This is the ultimate evolutionary form of humanity.

If it weren't for the fel power bestowed upon him by Rhodes, Mengsk would have wanted to join this glorious evolution and become one of these warriors.

"I think you should equip them with some melee weapons, like saw swords or high-temperature cutting knives," Rhodes said, stroking his chin.

The armor of the Deer Squad from the StarCraft universe is very similar to that of the Space Marines in the Warhammer universe! And now that they're tall enough, their armor height is almost the same.

If you were to equip them with a chainsaw sword or a heat-cutting sword, along with the various firearms they already possessed, they would be a replica of Space Marines.

"Hahaha! Lord Wutian Fazu, you are right. It would be very suitable to equip them with some melee weapons. I will immediately notify the Ministry of Military Industry to start research and we will soon equip these soldiers with weapons one by one." Mengsk nodded and said.

"Yes! I'm really looking forward to seeing these warriors fight the Zerg army on the front lines," Rhodes said.

"That day will come! Lord Amon." Emperor Mengsk nodded to Rhodes and said.

Once these armies are fully formed and equipped with the Empire's latest high-level weapons, they can launch devastating attacks on the Zerg swarm. Only massive monsters like the Thunder Beasts can threaten them; other Zerg units are practically powerless against them.

"Lord Emon! The special modification pills you gave me have all been used up. Could you provide me with some more?" Emperor Monsco asked Rhodes cautiously.

These special pills were very effective, and Emperor Mengsco was very envious. So he secretly kept a few for his subordinates to study, hoping to replicate these special pills so that he could modify Space Marines on his own.

Unfortunately, after systematic analysis, scientists discovered that none of the substances in this elixir existed in this world. Instead, a special kind of energy existed within it.

It is even more powerful than psionic energy and cannot be replicated at all. Most importantly, this special pill has nothing to do with their medical system and is even produced by another system.

Therefore, in terms of medicine, Emperor Mengsk was completely controlled by Rhodes, unless he used this special pill.

There is still a big difference between the super soldiers and space soldiers he has trained. At least in terms of strength, explosiveness and speed, they are not as good as the space soldiers he has just developed.

"No problem, I'll prepare another 100,000 of these pills for you later, that should be enough for you for a while," Rhodes said.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Emon!" Monsco said, kneeling on one knee before Rhodes.

In fact, the technical department did propose an improvement plan to him. These soldiers have very strong physical abilities, and perhaps some anatomical experiments could be conducted in the future to remove some of their organs.

Ordinary human soldiers are first given the Extremis Virus to gain powerful vitality, and then they undergo special surgeries to transform them into Space Marines.

These Space Marines, whose organs have been removed, will soon recover due to the Extremis virus's terrifying regenerative capabilities, allowing them to continuously produce new organ materials for the Imperium.

But are warriors modified in this way really as strong as the originals?

Scientists are hesitant to give a definitive answer yet; everything requires experimentation.

At the same time, the Yumoon region was also attacked by the Imperial Army, but the newly modified Space Marines did not join the battle.

The Empire achieved a perfect victory. The battlecruiser Hyperion was severely damaged and almost captured the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, but unfortunately, she still managed to escape.

However, Ghost Agent Nova actually caught a big fish, Jim Raynor. It's amazing, because when Lord Emman first arrived here, he said he would catch Jim Raynor.

As expected, it came true. Could it be that the other party has some special ability to foresee the future? At this moment, Mengsk became even more curious about Rhodes' abilities.

Over the next few days, the Space Marine army began to expand continuously, first undergoing Extremis virus modifications, then taking special pills provided by Rhodes, and finally being equipped with the latest power armor developed by the Empire.

After a few days, these ghost agents returned to find that they, who were originally an elite unit, seemed to have been replaced by another army.

Aside from the unique stealth and infiltration capabilities of psionic powers, these Ghost agents are completely outmatched by these Space Marines in terms of combat prowess.

The entire human empire has changed.

"Lord Amon, this man is the heinous Jim Raynor, the leader of the rebels. As per your request, I have brought him to you." That day, Mengsk brought the captured Jim Raynor to the room where Rhodes was staying.

"Very well, so this is Jim Reynolds?" Rod smiled knowingly as he looked at the disheveled man in front of him.

This guy's real age should be in his thirties, right? He looks older than his age! When I was playing the game and didn't know the background, I thought he was in his forties or fifties!

So it turns out the one who's been eating young, fresh meat is Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades!

At this moment, Jim Reynolds, who was brought into the room, also looked surprised!

Who is this person? He's never seen this guy before. Mengsk, Mengsk is actually being so respectful to someone? What's going on? Is this really the Mengsk he knows?

"Mengsk, what kind of tricks are you playing? Let me tell you, I will never give in to you," Jim Raynor said.

Mengsk completely ignored Jim Raynor's meaning, bowed to Rhodes, gave Jim Raynor a mysterious smile, and then turned and left.

In Mengsk's view, Jim Raynor would not have a good ending if he fell into Amon's hands.

During this time, Lord Amon has been strengthening his human army, and now the Space Marines have been fully assembled.

Such a powerful army was handed over to him directly, and he was even promised that a special army would be sent to support him when he fought against the Queen of Blades in the future.

Intentionally or unintentionally, this Lord Amon even admitted to himself that he was the Xel'Naga, and that he was the one who created the Zerg race and taught the Protoss civilization various kinds of wisdom.

Such a powerful being, such an immortal being, has taken a liking to him. Mengsk can also become like those legendary beings.

To live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years is an unparalleled glory; one must become an eternal emperor.

As for you, Jim Raynor, my friend, you are a true hero, but true heroes often don't have a good ending.

I look forward to seeing you tortured beyond recognition by this adult.

"Jim Raynor, right? I want to play a game with you." After Mengsk left, Rhodes smiled and looked at Jim Raynor and said.

"Oh! Hehe! Please don't make it a game that's too exciting, I can't play those kinds of games. What do you want to do? You want to use me to threaten Sarah? Don't even think about it," Jim Reynolds said.

"What are your expectations for your future? I plan to make some changes to you and then let you personally deal with Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades," Rhodes said.

"Don't even think about it. I will absolutely not help you deal with Sarah. Forget about it! If you have the guts, kill me." Jim Raynor said with a cold snort.

"Oh! That's not up to you. I assure you, the next time the Queen of Blades sees you, her anger will explode." Rhodes said with a smile.

In order to engage in a life-or-death battle with Sarah Kerrigan, Rhodes intends to thoroughly provoke the Queen of Blades.

A day later, on Imperial Television, Emperor Mengsk broadcast a live interstellar broadcast to all star sectors and planets of the entire Empire.

At this moment, Sarah Kerrigan was waiting for Jim Raynor to retreat. She had just commanded a swarm of Zerg to destroy a human anti-aircraft gun.

"Jim, where are you, you idiot? I've taken care of everything for you. All you have to do now is show up in front of me," Sarah Kerrigan muttered anxiously to herself.

She knew Jim Raynor didn't want her to become a Zerg again, so she only used the Zerg warriors briefly before stopping and returning to her ship.

"Citizens of the Empire, I proudly announce to you some news! Exciting news!" Emperor Monsco spoke with a proud expression, and the reporters below burst into applause.

At this point, Monsco the Great was no longer a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, but a teenager who looked to be in his early twenties.

"As you can see, the changes that have occurred in me are true. The Empire has developed a new generation of gene serums that can extend our lifespans."

As your emperor, I am the first to use this product because I want to test its safety for you.

"Only after I confirm that this potion is safe will I recommend it to all my people," said Emperor Mengsk.

"You've gotten younger? But I'll take you down sooner or later, Mengsk," Sarah Kerrigan sneered.

Isn't it just about becoming younger and extending lifespan?

This kind of genetic modification is nothing to the Zerg. Any Zerg queen or dam can live for hundreds or even thousands of years without any problem.

"We formed a powerful Space Marine force, the first Imperial cyborgs, and among them a new member joined us. He repented of his past sins and turned to the light."

He decided to help justice and fight for the Holy Terran Empire.

"And I, Emperor Mengsk, have pardoned all his sins. Now, let us welcome Mr. Jim Raynor, Commander of the Space Marine Legion." Mengsk clapped his hands. He was about three and a half meters tall.

A man dressed in blue tin can armor, with a resolute face, appeared before everyone. He was extremely tall and muscular, definitely not the physique of a normal person.

He looked as powerful and robust as the Space Marines newly modified by Monsco.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Imperial Space Marine Commander Jim Raynor reporting for duty, for the Empire." Jim Raynor, now a small giant, approached Monsco and gave a crisp military salute. (End of Chapter)
