I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Hearing Renault's words, Theresa looked puzzled. Renault nodded in response to Theresa's question and said:

"Yes, if we had EMP missiles, they could effectively reduce the Protoss's shields, but we don't have the blueprints to make them right now, so we can't build them even if we wanted to."

Chapter 1037 [The Omnipotent X Degree]

Theresa and Reno's conversation was overheard by Yhaka, who was standing nearby. Although Yhaka didn't know what EMP bombs and electromagnetic pulses were, that didn't mean he wouldn't take out his phone and search for them on his browser.

“OoO~”

After finding the information he wanted, Yuhaka seemed to suddenly understand and nodded as if he realized something. After Yuhaka put his phone away, Theresa ended her contact with Reno and the others.

"Youyou, we're about to leave. Are you ready?"

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka shook his head without giving Theresa any face and said:

"I wasn't ready, Youyou's hungry OwO~"

Theresa almost collapsed to the ground when she heard what Yohaka said. Good heavens, if Theresa hadn't known that Yohaka had eaten more than a dozen steamed buns, several fried dough sticks, and two large bowls of porridge, Theresa would have actually believed what Yohaka said.

"Uh... never mind, you can have this to tide you over."

As she spoke, Theresa took out a few energy bars from her waist bag and gave them to Yuhaka. Seeing the energy bars Theresa took out, Yuhaka happily accepted them, tore open the packaging, and started munching on them. Watching Yuhaka munching on the energy bars with his cheeks puffed out, Theresa shook her head helplessly.

Theresa then explained some information about the Protoss to Yhwach, such as the Pylon, the most important structure in their architecture. This structure is crucial for powering Protoss buildings, much like a power plant for humans. Without it, Protoss buildings within the Pylon's range would be paralyzed, rendered unusable, and lose their effectiveness.

After hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood. Those buildings with large crystals were too easy to identify, so there was no need to worry that Yuhaka would mistake the buildings.

Another structure is the disc-shaped Photon Cannon, a Protoss defensive structure with anti-air and anti-ground capabilities, as well as the ability to detect cloaked units.

After explaining to Yuhaka, Theresa began to assemble her troops and lead them to raid the enemy's holy site. The troops included Battlefield Boars and Iron Hammer Security, as well as medics and raider units. After preparations were complete, Theresa and her team set off.

The troops left behind are responsible for blocking any Zerg forces that might try to bypass them, in case the Zerg forces try to ambush them from behind.

After setting off, Theresa and Ehaka encountered a crystal tower, but there were several photon turrets around it. Fortunately, there were no Protoss soldiers around, which meant that the Zerg swarm attacking from another route had forced them to send their troops from this route to the other side.

Seeing that there were no Protoss troops, Theresa looked at Yhwach and said:

"Youyou, can you destroy that crystal tower from a distance?"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka glanced at Theresa, then nodded towards the distant Crystal Tower, indicating that there was no problem.

"Youyou's hit OwO"

After receiving Yuhaka's approval, Theresa watched his performance. However, when Yuhaka pulled out a weapon that looked like a large-caliber sniper rifle (similar in appearance to the Zinogre heavy crossbow), Theresa was dumbfounded.

Where’s the sword???

Theresa clearly hadn't expected Yhaka to pull out a modern firearm. Ignoring Theresa's bewildered expression, Yhaka crouched down, holding the gun-like weapon and aiming at the distant crystal tower. After aiming, Yhaka pulled the trigger. A flash of lightning appeared at the barrel, followed by a bolt of lightning that flew out of the muzzle and pierced the crystal tower's shield as if through paper. Then, something resembling a harpoon stuck into the crystal tower's Kedarin crystal.

Bah——!

As the harpoon-like weapon emitted a burst of intense lightning, the Kedarin Crystal also emitted a dazzling light and exploded with a loud bang, creating a large crater where the crystal tower had been.

Looking at the exploding crystal tower, Theresa couldn't help but twitch her lips a couple of times. For some reason, Theresa felt that Yhaka's style had suddenly changed. Back on Redstone Star, Yhaka was wielding a greatsword to fight wild beasts.

Immediately after Yhaka destroyed the crystal tower, a group of zealots dressed in armor rushed towards them. They had clearly also heard the explosion. When they saw Yhaka and her companions, they charged at them enraged, shouting:

"How dare you desecrate the Temple! You are courting death!"

Upon seeing the fanatics appear, Theresa reacted and said:

"Enemy has appeared! Attack!"

Upon hearing Theresa's command, all the Battlefield Porcupines raised their electromagnetic rifles and launched an attack on the zealots. At that moment, a semi-circular energy shield enveloped the zealots, and for some reason, the firepower unleashed by the Battlefield Porcupines weakened.

Theresa was a little taken aback by what she saw, but she quickly realized that it was an energy field that could weaken her attacks. Theresa also saw the disc-like mechanical device behind the fanatics.

Therefore, Theresa also gave the following order to Yohaka:

"Youyou! Destroy that round machine!"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka naturally noticed the mechanical device. He nodded to indicate that he understood, then raised his gun, aimed at the device, and pulled the trigger. With a flash of eerie blue light, another harpoon-like projectile was fired at the circular machine.

One of the zealots reacted quickly, blocking Yhaka's attack path. He clearly intended to use his plasma shield to block Yhaka's attack, but to the zealot's surprise, Yhaka's harpoon missiles easily penetrated his plasma shield and pierced through his energy armor. The harpoon missiles then passed through the zealot's body and hit the mechanical device behind him.

“biu~OwO”

As soon as Yuhaka finished speaking, an electromagnetic pulse exploded among the Zealots, instantly destroying their plasma shields. The next second, they were subjected to a hail of bullets from the Battlefield Porcupines.

Even a fanatic, without the protection of a plasma shield, would not be able to emerge unscathed from an attack of 8mm solid steel needles.

Chapter 1038 [Mission Completed! Time to Make a Run!]

As the last zealot disappeared in a streak of light resembling flame, the battle porcupines ceased their attack. Theresa, seeing the vanished zealots, naturally knew why they had disappeared. According to the Hyperion database, when zealots were severely injured, the crystal arrays on their bodies would warp them away.

To be honest, Theresa is quite envious of this technology. If this technology existed, any injured Valkyrie could be teleported back, which would increase the Valkyries' chances of survival.

If such technology had existed during the Second Honkai War, my most important friend Cecilia wouldn't have perished in Siberia...

"Lick OuO~"

While Theresa was lost in thought, Yuhaka licked Theresa's cheek with his little tongue. Theresa immediately felt the wet sensation on her cheek and snapped back to reality. Startled, Theresa quickly covered her face and looked at Yuhaka with a hint of embarrassment, saying in a panic:

"Yoo, Yoyo!? What are you doing all of a sudden?!"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Theresa with an "OwO?" expression, as if he didn't know why Theresa had been lost in thought. Theresa coughed and said to Yuhaka and the others:

"Don't do that next time. Okay, let's hurry up and get going, or the enemy's next attack will come."

Upon hearing Theresa's words, the mercenaries and rangers behind her began to move, and Theresa pulled Yuhaka along as they continued their journey. At the same time, Theresa asked Yuhaka about the previous attack.

"Youyou, can the attack you launch with this weapon bypass the opponent's plasma shield and pass right through it?"

To Theresa's question, Yhaka nodded quite naturally. Seeing Yhaka nod, Theresa looked at him with a surprised expression and asked:

"Really? Youyou, how did you do that???"

"Youyou found out online, Youyou is so amazing, right? OwO~"

Upon hearing Theresa's question, Yuhaka looked at Theresa with a smug expression. Theresa, after hearing Theresa's answer, twitched her lips and looked at Yuhaka. To be honest, she didn't think that one could learn such complex technology just by looking at things on the internet. After all, such technology couldn't possibly have blueprints or anything like that. At most, they would just explain the principles. Yuhaka couldn't possibly learn how to use those technologies just by relying on those principles, could he?

However, what Theresa didn't expect was that... Ehaka really learned the principles of EMP's attack methods, and after Ehaka pondered, the Baradion sword would also be able to conjure weapons with similar abilities.

As Yhwaka and her companions continued their advance, they soon arrived at a location with a photon bridge. However, the Tal'darim warriors on the other side, upon seeing Yhwaka and her companions, wanted to rush forward and eliminate the outsiders who dared to desecrate the sacred ground. But the actions of those Tal'darim warriors were quickly stopped by a Tal'darim Protoss who resembled a High Templar.

"Stop! Quickly close the bridge!"

Upon hearing the words of the Tal'darim Protoss who sounded like a high-ranking Templar, the Tal'darim fanatics nodded in understanding and then shut down the photon bridge. After the photon bridge disappeared, Theresa and the others were forced to stop.

"Tsk! Did they close the bridge?"

Theresa clicked her tongue in amazement when she saw the other side shut down the bridge-like device. Although Theresa really wanted the raiders and Yhaka to rush over to the other side and open the bridge, there was a problem: it wasn't a human-made device, but a Protoss-made one. Did anyone on their side know how to control that thing?

Thinking of all this, Theresa was speechless for a moment. However, she soon noticed that the temperature around her had dropped significantly. Turning her head, Theresa saw Yuhaka holding the Holy Sword, which was fused with the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and the Baradion Holy Sword. A chilling aura emanated from the sword.

Before Theresa could say anything, the next second Yuhaka swung his holy sword, and a cold wave swept across the opposite direction. After the wave passed, an ice bridge appeared in front of Theresa and the others. The mercenaries who saw this were dumbfounded, after all, this scene was too magical.

Theresa was also dumbfounded when she saw this scene. She obviously did not expect that Yhaka's ability could condense water molecules in the air to build an ice bridge. Most importantly, the Taldarim Protoss in the distance were frozen and turned into ice sculptures.

Theresa and the mercenaries were stunned to see the Taldarim Protoss frozen into ice sculptures. However, they quickly recovered and ordered their men to rush over. The frozen Taldarim Protoss were killed by Yhwach with a single blow, so fast that even the Crystal Array couldn't save them in time.

After dealing with the frozen Tal'darim Protoss, Yhwach and Theresa accelerated their advance towards the artifact's location. Most of the Tal'darim Protoss forces had been lured away by the Zerg swarm, and if they didn't seize the opportunity now, it would be difficult for Theresa and her team to fight once the enemy recovered. If the artifact was moved, it would be even worse, as they didn't even know where it would be moved to.

Because the Tal'darim Protoss were frozen by Yhwach, they didn't notice Yhwach and her companions, which gave them an opportunity. By the time the Tal'darim Protoss realized what was happening, Theresa and Yhwach had already arrived at the location where the artifacts were placed.

However, to their surprise, the three giant stone statues at the place where the artifacts were placed suddenly moved. Everyone who saw this was startled, obviously not expecting that the stone statues would actually move.

Fortunately, Yuhaka reacted quickly, stomping on the ground just as the statues were about to attack. The statues' footholds cracked open, and they fell to the ground. The crowd, having recovered, launched a fierce attack on the statues' heads, destroying their attack capabilities.

That's why Theresa and the others quickly called a transport plane to take them away, along with the artifact.

Chapter 1039 [Actually... Youyou is a rich loli]

After Theresa and Ehaka obtained the artifacts and retreated, the Ranger base in the distance also began to retreat.

Meanwhile, on the Hyperion's bridge, Kerrigan's voice came through a projection screen.

I forgot you're a cunning man, Jim. I won't make the same mistake again.

Upon seeing Kerrigan's message, Raynor frowned slightly and muttered to himself:

"Kerrigan..."

The news of Kerrigan's appearance made Raynor a little uneasy, but the fact that the Hyperion did not detect a Level 12 psionic waveform meant that Kerrigan was not on this planet, which was good news. At least they didn't have to worry about being chased by Kerrigan's Zerg swarm.

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

After the battle, Theresa, back on the Hyperion, wiped away her sweat and said:

"Phew...that last stone statue suddenly moving really scared me to death."

As she spoke, Theresa turned to look at Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, and said gratefully:

"Thanks to Youyou for making a big hole in the floor and knocking down all those stone statues, otherwise we probably would have been beaten up by those unknown stone statues."

Upon hearing Theresa's praise, Yuhaka struck a pose full of swagger, leaving Theresa speechless.

However, this operation was indeed thanks to Yuhaka; otherwise, the mission to seize the artifact might have failed.

After the artifact was unloaded from the transport plane, it was immediately sent to Stetman's laboratory. After all, it was alien stuff, and who knew if it contained any strange radiation or curses? Logically speaking, in this technological age, there isn't much superstition about supernatural phenomena, but the appearance of Yhaka and the Protoss made those people feel somewhat uneasy.

However, these matters are none of Yhaka's concern.

After the mission was completed, Theresa brought Ehaka to the bridge to report. Raynor breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the artifact had been successfully placed in the laboratory and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Theresa and Youyou. This operation went smoothly thanks to you. Otherwise, who knows what trouble those Protoss would have caused."

In response to Renault's words, Theresa coughed slightly and said to him:

"Ahem, it's nothing. We owe it all to Youyou this time. If it weren't for her, we might still be stuck on that bridge."

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Raynor naturally witnessed the scene of Yhaka freezing a bridge with his sword. To be honest, it was quite shocking. Raynor was also surprised that the Protoss were frozen into icicles. It was surprising that the Taldarim Protoss were still alive after being frozen by Yhaka. Raynor couldn't figure out how that happened.

Fortunately, Stetman, who understood this, believed that it was the Protoss's plasma shields that protected them from being frozen to death by the cold air released by Yhaka.

"Well, no matter what, we've got the artifact now. Let's get out of here quickly, or those Tal'darim Protoss will cause us trouble."

As he spoke, Horner nodded in agreement. Although the Hyperion was a battlecruiser, it was still somewhat insignificant in the face of a large number of Protoss air forces.

After the Hyperion warped away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief that they hadn't noticed the Taldarim Protoss chasing after them. Once everything was settled, Raynor had everyone start dealing with some matters, such as having Stetman set up the newly acquired artifacts, Swann and the others going to maintain the equipment, and Theresa taking Ehaka to the cafeteria to wreak havoc on the chefs.

I burned a lot of calories exercising at Yuhaka, and a few energy bars alone wouldn't be enough to replenish it.

...Over here in the cafeteria...

The chefs in charge of cooking couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw Yuhaka's blank expression. Yuhaka, sitting in her seat, waved her little hand at the chefs, holding two chopsticks, and said:

"Youyou, time to eat!"
