Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

The giant insect, relying on its hunting instincts, raised its needle-like claws and pierced through the mech's core with lightning speed.

A warning was immediately issued from inside the mech.

"Warning, warning! The mech's core is damaged. The mech's damage level has reached 80%. The system will automatically shut down the power supply in 30 seconds."

"General!"

"Admiral Ives!"

Upon seeing this, all the female soldiers ran towards Elvis's direction.

In the next instant, another unexpected event occurred.

Just as the insect was about to pull out its claws, Elvis suddenly grabbed them.

The mech held onto the insect's claws tightly, preventing it from escaping.

Enraged, the insect raised its other forelimb claw and stabbed at the hole in the mech.

But the mech still clung tightly to the bug, refusing to let go.

There were only fifteen seconds left.

A super energy cannon, extremely dazzling and blinding, condensed at the center of the mecha.

Even irrational insects can sense approaching danger.

Moreover, this enormous insect is a female military insect.

Realizing the danger, the insect struggled violently, its other claw repeatedly stabbing at the mech.

ten seconds...

No matter how much the insect struggled, the silver-white mech held tightly to its forelimbs.

Crimson blood splattered all around, landing on the silver-white mecha, creating a stark contrast between the extreme white and the glaring red.

five seconds...

The insect struggled frantically, trembling with fear.

three seconds...

The insect finally realized that it could not break free from the mech's restraints, so it raised its other claw and chose to sever its limb to survive.

one second...

Finally, the bug severed its forelimbs, which were being held by the mech, and escaped at top speed.

However, it was too late by then.

A blindingly bright light emanated from the center of the mecha.

It pierced the insect's head at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Before the insect could react, it ran a few steps forward before collapsing heavily.

Its remaining eye gradually dimmed.

"My little brother... is still... waiting for me..."

Not far from its corpse, the beautiful silver-white mech lay quietly, now mostly destroyed and no longer beautiful at all.

"General!"

"Great! Admiral Elvis has dealt with the mutated insects!"

This time, all the female soldiers ran desperately towards Elvis's direction.

But before they could reach it, a faster figure ran ahead of all the insects and reached the mech.

That's Arnorf, Elvis's adjutant.

Arnorf clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

Even though the general was inside the mech not far away, he dared not take another step forward.

I'm afraid of seeing a scene I don't want to see.

When the other female soldiers arrived, they too fell silent.

Just then, a very faint voice sounded from inside the mech.

"Arnold...you, come here..."

Arnold's eyes shone brightly.

Without any hesitation, he quickly climbed onto the mech and arrived at the mech's hatch.

"General, I've arrived."

The mech hatch opened, and Arnorf gasped at the sight inside, his eyes instantly turning red.

Inside the mech, Elvis lay there, his body riddled with three holes.

The holes were in the shoulders and abdomen, with the most severe being in the abdomen.

However, none of these are the most fatal.

Most fatally, very clear worm patterns had appeared on Elvis's face and body.

And from his back grew a pair of huge golden wings.

The enormous golden wings were constricted by the narrow mech, with most of them being roughly folded over.

I never expected the general to have become half-insect!

Judging from this situation, the half-insect transformation seems to have been going on for some time.

Elvis had his eyes closed.

When Arnorf entered, he opened his bloodshot eyes.

His clear, pure blue eyes, tinged with crimson, combined with the distinct golden insect-like markings on his face, gave him an eerie appearance.

"Kill me..." he said. "Kill me, Arnorf."

He didn't want to become an insect, didn't want to become an insect that only knew how to kill and had no reason.

He didn't want everyone to work so hard to kill the transformed female insect, only to have it all go to waste because of his transformation.

and so--

"Kill me, Arnorf," he said again.

Arnorf shook his head, his eyes bloodshot, much like Elvis at this moment.

"No, how could I kill you! You, you haven't completely transformed into an insect yet. Right, Lord Jian Chi can save you."

"Lord Jian Chi is your lord; he just saved that half-insect female soldier, he can definitely save you! I'll go find him."

As he spoke, Arnorf turned to leave, but was stopped by Elvis.

"Arnold, I command you, you are not to go to the lord."

Arnorf asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Elvis closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

"My lord, my lord is already in so much pain..."

He still remembered the pained expression on the male ruler's face as he clutched his head before he left.

Although he didn't know why, he could roughly guess that it might be related to the insect-transformed female soldier just now.

The male ruler was the first to notice that something was wrong with the female soldier.

Now that he has also become half-insect, the male lord is already in great pain, and if he gets closer to him, he might suffer even more.

The mere thought of the lord's face contorting in pain once more made him wish he were dead.

Anyway, anyway, the powerful ruler doesn't like him...

After he dies, the male ruler can still marry the female ruler or female servant he likes...

"Just because of this? But you're really going to die!"

Arnorf's anger surged.

He didn't understand why the two half-insect-transformed and fully insect-transformed female soldiers could instinctively ask Lord Jian Chi for help, but the general wanted to give up.

Seeing that Avis's insectification was progressing more and more, Arnorf said in a deep voice:

"I'm sorry, General, once you wake up, you can do whatever you want with me, but I cannot give you the order just now..."

Before he could finish speaking, two coughs were heard from not far away.

Jian Chi stood not far away, smiling gently as he said:

"Excuse me, could I see Elvis?"

Without any hesitation, Arnold left the hatch and came to stand in front of Jane.

With a "thump," he knelt down directly.

"Lord Jian Chi, I beg you to save the General! I know I've done things that have harmed you, but if you promise to save the General, I'll give my life for it!"

Jian Chi said helplessly, "What would I do with your life?"

After saying that, he didn't let Arnorf get up, but walked directly towards the mech's hatch and saw Ivis inside the mech.

The white-furred, blue-eyed kitten was on the verge of death.

They are truly endearing.

Elvis, who had been calmly awaiting his death, suddenly became somewhat emotional upon seeing Jian Chi approach.

He looked panicked.

"Don't look at me, my lord."

He looks terrible right now...

The mech was very crowded at the moment.

But Jian Chi hesitated for a moment, then squeezed into the mecha and closed the hatch behind him.

Because it was so crowded, Elvis instinctively leaned back, causing his enormous golden wings to fold even more.

His head tilted back unconsciously, his eyes closed, looking as if he were about to be slaughtered.

There's a unique sense of brokenness to it.

His eyelashes trembled incessantly. Even though he had already begun to transform into an insect, or even half-infested, he still tried his best to restrain himself from approaching Jian Chi, for fear of frightening the other party.

The system in my mind was extremely anxious.

[Host, what are you waiting for! Quickly appease him!]

Although Elvis was destined to die, he could not die here.

If Elvis is finished, how will the remaining skits about Elvis be completed?

This is also why Jianchi is here.

Faced with the system's urging, Jian Chi stopped waiting, reached out to Elvis, and touched Elvis's forehead.

But this time, he wasn't pulled into that dark space.

strangeness.

Jian Chi frowned slightly, withdrew his hand, and reached out to Elvis's forehead again, but was still not pulled into the black space.

What happened?

【It's all over, it's all over!】

"A mighty ruler..."

Jian Chi looked up when he heard Elvis's voice.

He thought Elvis was going to ask him for help.

Unexpectedly, Elvis suddenly reached out and gouged out his own eyeballs.

Elvis held the eyeball in his hand and presented it to Jian Chi, as if holding his own heart that longed to be loved.

Her voice, gentler than ever before, held a hint of pleading:

"My lord, you said you liked my eyes, so I give them to you, hoping that when you see these eyes after I die, you will remember me."

I also hope that the lord will forget me a little later... okay?

His eyes were closed, and tears of blood flowed continuously. His pale and broken expression painted a breathtaking picture.

This scene was both terrifying and poignant.

His unconventional actions were like a sharp knife, forcefully piercing Jian Chi's chest, allowing Jian Chi to clearly hear his own frantic heartbeat.

"Thump thump thump..."
