Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

When Jian Chi first heard the screams, he thought Hani had made a move.

When I heard heavy footsteps behind me, accompanied by tremors, a bad feeling rose in my heart.

Soon, that ominous premonition became a reality.

A huge shadow loomed over him, and heavy, painful breathing came from behind him.

Ahead lay a horde of terrified insects; if he continued forward, taking this large creature with him, the plaza would be thrown into chaos.

Amid the commotion, a dangerous stampede could easily occur.

Jian Chi sighed.

[System, has the scenario been completed?]

[Scenario completed. Current number of completed scenarios: (18/100)]

Upon hearing this, Jian Chi stopped moving forward, turned around, and looked up.

The half-insect female insect had deepened its transformation, and insect patterns appeared on its body and face, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

His expression was pained, but his eyes, which still retained a sliver of reason, stubbornly looked at Jian Chi with pleading eyes.

"Help, help me..."

Jian Chi sighed helplessly, "I'm not some insect that can save you, so why did you follow me?"

He didn't know why this insect followed him. In the original story, after the original owner ran away, the female insect, whose mental energy was surging, didn't even glance at him.

Now the roles have been reversed.

Jian Chi glanced at the spot where Hani had been, but Hani was no longer there. He guessed that she had been rescued while the insects were still there.

"save……"

He sighed again.

"Okay, okay, I'll save you. But let's make it clear beforehand, if I fail to save you, don't blame me."

Although that's what he said, Jian Chi knew that the insect in front of him was probably beyond saving.

In the original storyline, this female insect, who was about to transform into a worm, possessed mental strength approaching S-level.

When his mental energy surged, he directly broke through to the S-rank.

Hani, a male insect with S-level mental strength, tried his best but could only stop the female insect from continuing to transform.

However, this female insect has already become half-insect, and unless an A-rank male agrees to provide deep reassurance, he will still die from a mental breakdown.

The original storyline didn't explicitly state the female insect's final fate, but it's easy to guess.

He almost injured Hani when his mental energy surged and he became half-insect, and how could Lord Xiongzi, who is so fragile, possibly provide deep comfort when he is half-insect?

But Jian Chi only has B-level mental strength, how can he be saved?

So he's just stalling for time.

Upon hearing Jian Chi's words, the female insect shed a single, blood-stained tear from her crimson eyes.

"Thanks……"

He withdrew his outstretched hand, turning his now insect-like claws, which had developed into hard, sharp claws, toward himself.

The insect curled up, moving its huge and clumsy body, crawling on the ground, carefully adopting a submissive posture, and closing its eyes.

If another insect with higher mental strength were to attack at this moment, he would have absolutely no time to react.

The female soldiers who were hiding in the shadows, ready to rescue Jian Chi at any moment, also discovered it.

Now is the best time.

Although they felt a pang of pity for the half-insect female insect before them, and even a sense of shared suffering arose within them.

But this is the fate of female soldiers; they have no choice but to take action, and they must not be soft-hearted.

Just as they were about to make their move, they saw Jian Chi reach out his hand towards the female insect!

"Look, what is Lord Xiongzi doing!"

"He actually reached out and touched the female insect's forehead. What was he trying to do?"

"No way, he... he actually tried to save that half-insect female!"

Seeing this, all the insects fell silent.

They never expected that when a female insect was half-insectified, a male would be willing to lend a hand to comfort her.

How magnificent this is!

A significant number of the insects were in tears.

I kept praying in my heart that this kind and gentle man would not get hurt...

The female soldiers hiding in the shadows couldn't help but tear up when they saw this scene.

But they remembered their mission and turned to ask their superior, Major General Pavley.

"Major General, what should we do? Should we make our move now?"

Major General Pavley frowned and stared intently at the pool and the half-insect female insect in front of him.

The female insect's mental energy seemed to have stabilized considerably.

If we're going to make a move, now's the time.

Should we make a move?

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Let's take another look."

Let's see, maybe there's still a chance, maybe the female insect won't have to die...

With this hope in mind, Pavly couldn't help but look at the young man.

Is there really a chance for things to turn around?

They've already become half-insects...

Jian Chi, who was being watched by all the insects, was completely oblivious to his surroundings at this moment.

In order to buy time, he reached out to the female insect, just like Hani did in the original story.

This kind of reassurance is better than nothing, and besides, he only has B-level mental strength.

But every little bit of delay is a good thing.

However, as soon as he touched the female insect's forehead, he sensed her violent mental energy.

The next instant, the insect's consciousness was pulled into a black space.

The space was pitch black, and there was nothing there.

A very slight tremor was heard.

Jian Chi tilted his head and walked over to the source of the trembling sound.

The sound grew louder and louder.

Until Jian Chi came to the source of the trembling sound.

He looked up.

Before me was a giant worm.

Hidden in the darkness, it seemed as if it could be swallowed up and vanished by the darkness at any moment.

As for the trembling sound, it wasn't anything special; it was just the sound the giant insect made in pain.

Jian Chi couldn't understand his voice, but he could clearly sense that he was in extreme pain.

For some reason, Jian Chi suddenly reached out his hand.

The moment his hand touched the other person, a warm white halo emanated from his palm, illuminating the surroundings.

The halo followed its master's will, constantly dispelling the darkness surrounding the female insect.

Time passed gradually, and the painful tremors gradually diminished until they disappeared.

Through this, Jian Chi also saw the scene before him.

The insect is reddish-brown all over and has three pairs of strong and powerful legs, with claws at the ends of the legs.

Its carapace looked extremely smooth and shiny, as if it had been scrubbed clean.

At that moment, the female insect crawled down toward Jianchi, emitting a tremor.

This time, however, the tremor was not one of pain, but of joy, a declaration:

My esteemed Lord Xiongzi, I will dedicate my life and my loyalty to you until death!

Jian Chi blinked, and the scene before him changed, finding himself back in reality.

At the same time, gasps came from all around, and people stared at the scene before them in disbelief.

What did they see?!

"My God, this is unbelievable..."

"By the God of Insects, who can tell me if what I'm seeing is an illusion?"

"This is...this is absolutely shocking!"

Jian Chi looked down and raised an eyebrow.

The female insect, who was originally in a semi-insect form, has somehow reverted to its insect form?!
