I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing the Imperial Commander's words, Möbius looked at him and smiled, saying, "It's so noisy outside, disturbing my experiments. Of course I came out to see what was bothering me..."
Upon hearing Mebius's words, the Imperial commander broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly explained to Mebius, "It's the Zerg swarm, Dr. Mebius. For some reason, the Queen of Blades led her Zerg swarm to launch a sudden attack here. The space station outside has already fallen, and the Zerg swarm is now carrying the space station and smashing it towards us."
Upon hearing the Imperial commander's words, Mebius's eyes lit up, clearly as if he had heard some good news. The Imperial commander, seeing Mebius's expression, couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, this mad scientist was sending troops out every day to search for Zerg or Protoss-related things, which had caused him a lot of trouble. Fortunately, he had research results, which allowed him to report back to his superiors.
"Oh, that's wonderful! I was worried about where to find an experimental subject like the Queen of Blades, and now she's come to me. It saves me the trouble of searching for her." Möbius looked expectantly at the scene of the Zerg swarm descending on the screen beside him. Meanwhile, the Imperial Commander, wiping his cold sweat with a handkerchief, said to Möbius, "Um... Dr. Möbius, with the military strength here, defeating the Queen of Blades won't be easy. Besides, she's surrounded by a large number of Zerg. To defeat her... uh, I think our chances of survival are better."
Mebius didn't blame the Imperial Commander for being cowardly. After all, Mebius had read a lot about the Blade Queen. Although she might not be as outstanding as a Herrscher, in terms of overall strength, the Blade Queen was much more dangerous. Not only was she adept at using schemes, but she was also a rare and extremely powerful human psionic individual. Judging from the traces of her rampage on various planets of the Terran Empire, she was not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, they didn't have any Xel'Naga artifacts to deal with the enemy, which made Mebius think about what method to use to eliminate them. Then, as if he had thought of something, Mebius looked at the Imperial Commander and said, "Then, for safety's sake, you can handle those experimental subjects in the laboratory. Perfect, they can be put to use here."
Upon hearing Möbius's words, the Imperial Commander looked at him with a surprised expression and said, "But... but haven't those experimental subjects been tested yet?!" Möbius simply stroked his cheek and said, "Heh, isn't this the perfect opportunity for practical testing?"
With that, Mebius sat in what looked like a suitcase with mechanical tentacles and left. The Imperial Commander was dumbfounded when he saw Mebius's departing figure, but he quickly came to his senses. At this point, he was too lazy to care whether the experiment had been conducted or not, since in the current situation, the more troops the better.
As long as we can hold out until the Empire's support arrives, it will all be worth it.

........................................
Meanwhile, above the planet Skiggel, swarms of Zerg drop pods rained down from the sky, overwhelming the Imperial anti-air forces on the ground and making their fingers cramp from firing.
"Fire! Fire! Don't let those Zerg drop pods land on the platform, or you'll be in for a swarm of Zerg to come and bite your backsides!"
An officer at the front line ordered his troops to attack the sky while keeping an eye on the platform for any Zerg drop pods. If Zerg landed on the platform, troops would have to be dispatched to eliminate them immediately. Otherwise, if the Zerg were to hide and prepare to launch a sneak attack, it would be a very troublesome situation. After all, Zerg are not only good at swarm tactics, but also at burrowing and ambushing. Although there is nowhere on the platform for the Zerg to burrow, that doesn't mean they won't attack the various anti-aircraft positions through the ventilation system.
Just then, something different from the airdrop pods appeared among these numerous airdrop pods. Although it looked like an airdrop pod, it had something that airdrop pods didn't have: a shell. In addition to the shell, it was also slightly larger than the other airdrop pods, so it quickly attracted the attention of the ground air defense personnel. Seeing those unusual "airdrop pods," the air defense personnel aimed their anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft missiles at the falling peculiar airdrop pods and launched an attack.
Unfortunately, the peculiar airdrop pod with its armor shell did not quickly disintegrate like other airdrop pods. Instead, it stood firm, withstanding artillery fire and falling towards the anti-aircraft position.
The operators of the anti-aircraft missile turret were dumbfounded when they saw this. They had never encountered an airdrop pod that could withstand anti-aircraft fire while falling toward the anti-aircraft location. If any of them were psionicists, they would have seen that the edge of this peculiar airdrop pod had a psionic shield that intercepted most of the fire.
Soon, as the peculiar airdrop pod was about to land on the anti-aircraft position, the surrounding soldiers quickly retreated and kept their distance. After all, if they got too close, they might be attacked by the Zerg in close combat.
However, the expected heavy impact upon landing did not occur. Instead, just as the peculiar airdrop pod was about to land, it suddenly floated on the ground. The soldiers then noticed that the peculiar airdrop pod had an organ resembling a gun barrel on it. When they saw that the gun barrel-like object was aimed at them, they realized that something was wrong.
But... it was too late.
With the attack of the venom cannon, the soldiers were instantly blown to smithereens. The anti-aircraft missile turret next to them was also shattered and rendered unusable. Then, from beneath this peculiar airdrop pod, several Primal Warrior Bugs and a Primal Warrior Overlord emerged. After emerging, the Primal Warrior Bugs and Primal Warrior Overlord used their death spit and venom cannon to finish off the surviving soldiers. They then began setting up their positions, preparing landing sites for their comrades.
Meanwhile, the primitive Zerg that resembles an airdrop sac is a transport vehicle improved from a "spore airdrop sac." In a sense, it is an independent organism, since this primitive spore airdrop sac can be used not only as a transport vehicle but also as a defensive fortification.
After the Primal Spore Drop Bag lands on the ground and forms a bun-like shape, a large amount of Spore Mist and Spore Mines fly out from the Primal Spore Drop Bag. At this point, the Primal Spore Drop Bag becomes a Primal Spore Fortress. Its powerful defensive capabilities allow it to withstand most artillery attacks. In addition, the combination of Spore Mist and Spore Mines makes the Primal Spore Fortress not worried about air attacks.
Besides potentially obscuring the enemy's vision, the Spore Mist also contains toxic substances. Without any protective measures, the Spore Mist will be a real problem for those who don't like wearing helmets or masks.
Spore mines are like "spider mines" with autonomous defensive capabilities. When an enemy approaches, they will silently fly over and surprise the enemy. Of course, compared to spider mines, these things have a much longer flight distance. As long as the operator can control them, they can launch attacks on those places, even fighter jets in the air.
Soon, under the onslaught of Kerrigan's airdrop pods and Yhaka's mixed spore airdrop pods, an area of the platform quickly fell.
P.S.: No more complaints... Ah... it seems there's not much difference, but my desire to read novels has decreased quite a bit. I can only hope the subscription rate doesn't drop too drastically, since I only have a little over 200 yuan left this month, and next month's salary won't be paid until the 17th...
Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Home]: Chapter 1837 [The Godfather and the Titans Move Out!]
After securing a landing area on the platform, the Zerg swarm began airdropping a large number of drop pods towards it. At the same time, the spore drop pods on this side also fell to one side, releasing the primitive Zerg within them and transforming into spore fortresses that began spreading spore mist and spore mines as a defensive measure. If Terran Empire fighters wanted to approach, they would be blocked by the large amount of spore mist, making the extremely poor visibility environment a very unpleasant situation for fighter jets.
Moreover, the spore mines hidden in the spore mist will teach any fighter pilots who dare to venture into the spore mist a lesson they should be more careful in their next life.
After Kerrigan, Yhaka, and Stukov arrived at the landing site, a Primal Warrior Ohmu approached Yhaka and said, "Boss, we've driven off the human forces in this area, but there's still a group of humans hiding in those steel buildings, holding out. It'll be a bit troublesome for us to break in alone. Should we send the big guys out to smash those scrap metal?"
Upon hearing the words of the Primal Warrior King, Yhaka fell into thought. He then turned his gaze to Kerrigan, wanting to hear her opinion. Kerrigan noticed Yhaka's gaze and said, "If that's the case, then let's send out my Infestors. Perfect, we can use these humans to help us break through the Empire's defenses."
As she spoke, Kerrigan turned her gaze to Abathur beside her and said, "Abathur, bring over those Infected who have been modified from the Venomous Phages."
Upon hearing Kerrigan's words, Abathur nodded in understanding. Then, Leviathan in orbit threw several drop pods over, and as the drop pods landed in the landing area like meteorites, several infected that looked like large insects also arrived at the location.
Subsequently, under Kerrigan's orders, these infected individuals deployed phages and placed incubators for phages in the human-held areas.
As the venomous creatures grow, they spray large amounts of viral viruses onto human buildings. These viruses cause biological organ structures to grow rapidly on the buildings, and the humans inside are unlikely to escape infection.
Before long, a large number of infected humans poured out, and some infected marines or other infantry units surged toward the human defenses like a tide.
Faced with this situation, the Imperial commander ordered the release of highly toxic gas. Generally speaking, such toxic gas is of little use to the Zerg. Even if it works, Abathur will quickly neutralize it, and the entire Zerg swarm will become immune to the toxin.
However, the infected are different. Even though they are infected by the Zerg virus, they are still affected by the toxic gas and die in large numbers. Kerrigan doesn't care much about this. For the Zerg swarm, the infected are not the main force, but cannon fodder used to wear down the enemy. Even if they are killed, it doesn't have much of an impact on the Zerg swarm.
The Empire, on the other hand, is facing a bit of a headache. After all, the highly toxic gas requires materials and time to synthesize, and once the reserves are depleted, the swarm's infected will once again launch an attack.
In response, the Imperial Commander also wanted to destroy those venomous entities to stop the spread of the virus.
Meanwhile, in the laboratory below, Mebius observed the situation above through a camera. Although Mebius didn't have much military knowledge, he could easily see that it was only a matter of time before the Zerg conquered the military base area on the ground.
"Hmm... these Zerg are really interesting, but why do they look so different from the other Zerg?"
Seeing the primitive Zerg under Yhaka's command, Mebius also showed a puzzled expression. Regarding his understanding of Zerg, although Mebius did not think it was impossible for the swarm to evolve into that form, their styles were simply too different. From a biological point of view, Mebius did not think that those primitive Zerg were special units or something that had emerged from the Zerg.
Just as Mebius was wondering about the situation with those primitive Zerg, Dr. Narud arrived. After a moment's hesitation, Dr. Narud realized that the strange-looking Zerg were the same ones he had encountered on the planet Zerus.
“Strange, why are there so many Primal Zerg here?” Along with Narud’s puzzled voice, Mebius, who was deep in thought, couldn’t help but ask after hearing Narud mention the term “Primal Zerg,” “Primal Zerg? What are those?”
Narud explained to Mebius the information about the Primal Zerg and their planet, Zerus. After hearing Narud's explanation of the Primal Zerg, Mebius became interested, since the Primal Zerg evolved by devouring each other, which was of great interest to him.
Although the Zerg have similar abilities, they are quite different from the original Zerg. The original Zerg evolved as individual entities, which is the kind of experimental sample that Möbius wanted. However, Möbius quickly realized something was wrong. If the original Zerg evolved as individual entities, then why would there be individuals with the same evolution as the Zerg?
In response to this question, Narud, who was standing nearby, said, "There must be a leader among them, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to evolve into this state."
Upon hearing Narud's words, Mebius recalled what Narud had just said about the strongest of the Primal Zerg—the "Clan Leaders"—who possessed the powerful ability to rule these Primal Zerg clans. These Clan Leaders could command the Primal Zerg under their clans to absorb a certain biological essence and then evolve into the form that their leader desired.
Thinking this, Mebius glanced at the scale of the Primal Zerg outside. Could someone leading so many Primal Zerg be a powerful leader of a Primal Zerg swarm? Or perhaps the Queen of Blades rules over those Primal Zerg?
Mebius was also pondering this. After seeing what Mebius was thinking about, Dr. Narud gave a cold smile and left the laboratory. To Dr. Narud, Mebius was indeed a good student, but unfortunately... the other party would not stand on "their" side. In that case, Dr. Narud could only let the other party make the most of his remaining energy.
While it's true that the opponent couldn't kill the Queen of Blades, it's not impossible. If the opponent could skillfully use the hybrid that he deliberately left behind, it would be enough to severely injure the Queen of Blades.
Thinking of this, Narud suppressed his urge to laugh wildly and left.
..............................................
..............................................
On the military base platform of the Empire, when the highly toxic gas was released, the Terran Empire also tried to send transport ships to transport troops over the enemy's defenses to attack the venomous creatures. Unfortunately, the spore fog and spore mines deployed by Yuhaka's spore fortress caused considerable trouble for the Empire's air force. If the aircraft tried to fly over, they were either attacked by spore mines or attacked by a large number of anti-air spore crawlers.
Some even more unfortunate aircraft lost their way in the fog and crashed directly into their own Draken pulse cannons.
Of course, there were successful forced landings, but after disembarking from the spaceship, the numerous spore fortresses decimated the invaders—well, physically.
This is also causing the Imperial commanders a great headache. If they can't cause trouble for the enemy's poisonous creatures now, the enemy will send out swarms of insectoids and infected creatures to attack their defenses once the poisonous gas is depleted.
They would have a hard time holding out until then. Just as the Imperial commander was having a headache, a communications soldier came in and said to him, "Sir, the Godfather Titan forces are ready and can be deployed at any time!"
Upon hearing this good news, the Imperial commander clenched his fist and said, "Excellent! Immediately prepare troops to attack the enemy's hive. We can't let those enemies continue to develop like this!"
Upon hearing his superior's order, the communications soldier acknowledged it and immediately ran off.
Meanwhile, on Yuhaka's side, not long after the enemy's landing force failed to attack, the poison gas disappeared without a trace due to the depletion of its stockpile. With the disappearance of the poison gas, the infected once again swarmed out.
After seeing the poison gas disappear, Kerrigan ordered her Zerg swarm to launch an offensive: "Begin the attack! Kill everything in our way!"
Following Kerrigan's orders, large numbers of Infected and Zerg began to move, while Yhaka led the Primal Lycat forces to raid the enemy's rear.
On the front lines, massive numbers of infected and Zerg forces swarmed towards the Imperial defenses like locusts. Kerrigan was leading the troops at the front, and no matter how strong the defenses were, the bunkers were torn apart like cardboard by Kerrigan's psionic power, revealing the bewildered Marines inside. Then, the Destroyers fired concentrated plasma liquid, blasting the Marines inside into dust.
With Kerrigan's unstoppable offensive, the Imperial forces' first line of defense was easily breached.
However, at that moment, Kerrigan saw a special mechanized force surging towards them through the Eyebug. Judging from the appearance of these mechanized forces, this was the first time Kerrigan had ever seen such a mechanized force. Compared to other machines equipped with various firearms, these machines only had two "big fists" and were bipedal robots. This made it hard for Kerrigan to believe that such robots could do anything by rushing into her swarm. She guessed they would probably be torn apart by the swarm.
In addition, Kerrigan also saw bipedal mechs carrying many rocket pods approaching. Kerrigan thought these mechs were more realistic, but she soon realized that her first impression was wrong.
As the gold-painted bipedal mechs began to run, Kerrigan saw them charging towards her at an unbelievable speed. The heavy footsteps and the rapid movements of the attackers made Kerrigan feel a sense of pressure. However, Kerrigan had torn these mechs apart many times before and was quite skilled at it, so she unleashed a powerful impact on the charging gold mechs.
However, Kerrigan did not see the scene of the golden mech being torn apart as she had imagined. Instead, she saw the golden mech generate a shield after being hit by the passive energy impact, and the golden mech protected by the shield was only knocked to the ground and quickly got up.
Kerrigan's eyes widened at the sight, as she hadn't expected the golden mechs to possess an ability similar to the Protoss Immortal's Fortitude Shield. This greatly surprised her. However, Kerrigan quickly gave the Zerg swarm orders to attack the golden mechs. While the Fortitude Shield was effective against heavy firepower, it could be quickly depleted by light attacks from smaller units. Once the shield's energy was exhausted, the outcome would be uncertain.
Unfortunately, Kerrigan didn't see the scene she had imagined. Instead, she saw her Zerg swarm rush forward to attack the enemy, only to be deflected as if by something. Seeing this, Kerrigan realized that it wasn't the Immortal's Fortitude Shield, but some kind of energy field that could deflect attacks. At this point, Kerrigan understood why the previous kinetic energy impact hadn't shattered the enemy instantly, but had simply caused them to fall to the ground.
However, there was a way to deal with Kerrigan. With a Crushing Grip, she lifted up the golden mechs, but at that moment, rockets appeared out of nowhere and flew towards her like a swarm of bees. This made Kerrigan stop controlling the Crushing Grip and then use her psionic energy to create a psionic shield to block the attack.
With the roar of the explosion, Kerrigan's side was also covered in dust. However, a psionic shock quickly dispelled the smoke, and Kerrigan emerged unharmed. However, Kerrigan's face showed some anger, clearly indicating that she had been provoked.
Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Home]: Chapter 1838 [The Mighty Titan Mech Legion]
As a powerful burst of psionic energy erupted from Kerrigan, the surrounding Godfather Titans and Thundercasters were pulled into the air and immobilized. At the same time, Kerrigan ordered her Zerg swarm to destroy these mechs. Unable to move, the Godfather Titans and Thundercasters were quickly destroyed by the Zerg swarm.
Meanwhile, in the underground laboratory, Mebius, witnessing this scene, narrowed his snake-like eyes. Based on his understanding of psionic energy, Mebius categorized this psionic ability as a special ability similar to telekinesis. Mebius had conducted considerable research on this, most notably on the psionic abilities of the Protoss and the Zerg.
The former can skillfully manipulate psionic energy to inflict powerful damage on enemies, while the latter possesses similar abilities. The most obvious example is the Queen of Blades, who is currently the most powerful psionicist known in the Terran Empire. However, the most significant aspect of the psionic energy on the Swarm side is their psionic link. This link allows the higher-ups in the Swarm to control the actions and consciousness of their subordinates, which makes Mebius feel that it is somewhat similar to the ability of the Herrscher of a Thousand. However, there is not much information about the Herrscher of a Thousand, which makes Mebius feel a bit disappointed.
Of course, the Protoss also possessed a similar ability. She remembered that the peculiar ability seemed to be called "Kara." Although it didn't have the psionic link ability like the Zerg to command subordinate units, this ability allowed the Protoss's will to be united.
Well, just take that kind of talk with a grain of salt; otherwise, Protoss like Nerazim wouldn't exist.
More than these things, Mebius valued an energy called "Void Psionic Energy." According to the records, this Void Psionic Energy could kill the former leaders of the Zerg Swarm, the Cerebrates and the Overminds. Although the principle behind it was unknown, it was known that the Cerebrates and Overminds had the ability to resurrect. As long as they were not killed by the Void Psionic Energy, they could be resurrected continuously.
This was similar to his own, but his resurrection was different from the resurrection by transferring the body like the brain worm. He resurrected on the spot, while the other party resurrected by transferring his consciousness. Möbius was a little worried that this ability would have an effect on him. Since he had not done any similar experiments, Möbius did not dare to be careless and was always on guard against psionicists approaching him.
However, after obtaining the technological and research data left behind by a certain unfortunate "predecessor," Mebius was not too worried about these things. If he felt something was wrong, he could simply discard his body and enter another body, thus avoiding enemy attacks.
While pondering these matters, Mebius also noticed that Kerrigan had eliminated all the Titan mechs. Mebius wasn't surprised by this, since these things were just mass-produced mechanical weapons in their time. They were fine for dealing with ordinary Honkai Beasts, but they were no match for more powerful ones.
The only way is to win by sheer numbers. Of course, there are times when numbers are not enough to win, such as when facing a Herrscher. In front of a Herrscher, these Titan mechs are basically just cannon fodder. If Titan mechs could defeat a Herrscher, then there would be no need for something like a Fusion Warrior.
The only advantage is that the production of Titan mechs here is sufficient. Although there is no Honkai energy, the small reactor technology here is very good, so that various Titan mechs do not have to worry about energy problems. Moreover, the various metal materials also make the Titan mechs stronger and harder. Among them, the [Regenerative Bio-steel] is a research material that Mebius thinks is very good. If it can be combined with Soul Steel technology, Mebius believes that he can develop a good technology.
However, before that, Mebius needs to resolve the situation here.
.........................................
.........................................
At the command post on the platform, the Imperial commander was not surprised to see the Titan mechs he had sent out being destroyed. After all, he did not think that these mechs could stop the Queen of Blades. However, during his observation, he found that the Titan mechs were very sturdy, which gave him a new tactical plan to use.
"Send out a new Titan armor squad, and also deploy those super soldiers."
Upon hearing the Imperial Commander's order, the adjutant standing nearby paused for a moment before speaking up, "Wait, sir, those super soldiers haven't undergone any testing yet. Is it really a good idea to send them up so hastily?"
In response to the adjutant's words, the Imperial Commander replied, "No, I have already obtained Dr. Mebius's permission. She has agreed to allow us to use all means for combat."
Upon hearing that his superior had received permission from Dr. Mebius, the adjutant said nothing and then ordered his men to prepare the weapons and armor for the super soldiers.
Soon, the swarm's offensive slowed down thanks to the Titans' resistance, which greatly annoyed Kerrigan. Unfortunately, the Titans' attacks were still giving Kerrigan a headache. These Titans were very powerful, easily taking down a group of Leapfrogs and a few Roach even when facing the swarm. However, they weren't without weaknesses; their deflection ability only worked directly in front of them. This allowed the flanking swarm to attack the Titans from behind. Even so, the Titans' toughness was beyond Kerrigan's expectations.
Removing those things would be quite troublesome. In addition to the hard armor plates, these mechs also have a special coating that is resistant to strong acid corrosion. Strong acid and claws would have a hard time tearing through these hard iron lumps. Thinking of this, Kerrigan showed a disgusted expression.
Of course, besides the disgusting Titan mechs, those Titan mechs equipped with a large number of rocket pods are also extremely disgusting. In addition to having a lot of firepower, those mechs also have a special bomb that can emit a strong electric current. This bomb can paralyze creatures, causing large numbers of Zerg units to be affected, which is a very troublesome thing.
Besides these, the Empire also seems to have improved the Widow Mine. The new model of the Widow Mine doesn't need to be buried; it charges directly at the Zerg swarm and then self-destructs. Seeing this, Kerrigan was a little angry. Isn't this just a faster version of the enhanced Spider Mine?!
