Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Eventually, Elvis regained his senses.

Jian Chi was finally able to sleep peacefully.

However, after that, Ives was too scared to sleep anymore.

He feared that he might do the same thing again while he was asleep, and if he really hurt the lord, he would feel guilty to death.

And so, Elvis kept his eyes open until morning.

When it was almost time for Jian Chi to wake up, he got out of bed, washed up, and made breakfast.

Just as I finished, I saw Gene and Lucien.

"Good morning, Admiral Elvis."

Gene greeted Elvis with a smile.

Elvis nodded and also said good morning to Gene and Lucien.

During the two days they were here, they were very quiet, almost invisible at home.

This is Lucien's instruction.

He thought that since they couldn't help Jian Chi, they should try their best not to cause him any trouble.

"Gene, you should be evolving soon too, right?"

Gene nodded.

Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?

"Yes, I want to join the armed forces!"

Upon hearing the word "three armies," Elvis recalled the scene he witnessed before his death, where the entire army was annihilated.

He pursed his lips.

"Things have been unsettled lately, with ferocious beasts appearing frequently. If you're thinking of joining the army, it's best to wait at least six months."

"That's why you should have joined the army sooner to protect the house bugs and the empire," Gene asked, looking puzzled.

Elvis knew Gene was right, and he couldn't find anything to refute him.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Then I recommend you join the 13th Army."

He remembered that, in his more than 90,000 lifetimes of memories, the star system where the Thirteenth Army was stationed and guarded was a place where ferocious beasts were relatively less rampant.

If Gene joins the 13th Army, he will be relatively safer.

Gene was still puzzled: "Why? Don't you want me to join the army?"

"No……"

"What are you talking about?"

Jian Chi's words came from behind.

"Brother!" Gene's eyes lit up immediately, and Cassie was also somewhat happy, looking at Jian Chi hesitantly.

"Good morning, Elvis, Father, Gene."

So the cautious look on the father-in-law's face lessened a bit, and he tentatively replied:

Good morning, Koike.

Seeing that Jian Chi wasn't angry at him for calling him that, he smiled.

After breakfast, Hunter brought over the sub-female insects.

The sub-female insect was a house bug belonging to one of Hunter's comrades.

Jian Chi glanced at her and thought, "Hmm, she seems like an obedient one."

He doesn't need this sub-female insect to be very diligent; he just needs to talk and chat with the female father like Gene does, and take care of the female father's daily life.

As for other tasks like cooking and sweeping, Xiao La can do them all.

After resolving this matter, Hunter asked Jian Chi if there was anything else he needed to do.

Jian Chi thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll entrust Gene to you. He wants to join the army, but he hasn't received any systematic training before. You can teach him for a while."

Upon hearing this, Hunter immediately responded excitedly, saying that he would definitely live up to the trust placed in him.

Your Excellency has entrusted him with the worms, which shows that you trust him very much. He must not betray your trust!

Gene was also very happy.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and then told Jian Chi what Elvis had said before breakfast.

"Brother, I don't know why Admiral Elvis said that. Does he not like me?" Gene asked nervously, looking very dejected.

He didn't know what he had done to make General Elvis hate him, but he really admired General Elvis and wanted to join the army!

"Don't overthink it. He just thinks there are too many ferocious beasts in the Purple Rose Galaxy and doesn't want you to face such a dangerous situation right after joining the army."

After offering Gene a few words of comfort, Gene finally felt relieved.

Because of Gene's words, Jian Chi became even more certain that Elvis had awakened.

A glint of light flashed in Jian Chi's eyes.

He was curious.

What will Elvis do after he awakens?

With this in mind, Jian Chi paid close attention to Elvis's movements and condition throughout the following day.

It's clear that Elvis's condition has been very bad since he awakened.

If, previously, there was only a half-insect form, but with Jian Chi's reassurance, Elvis could still maintain his sanity.

Now, having awakened so many lifetimes of memories, Elvis has been in constant pain.

He hid it well, but one could still glean some clues from the occasional glimpses of pain in his expression.

Aside from that, he mostly just spaced out.

I'm always in a daze, thinking about something, and as I think, my face turns deathly pale.

If Jian Chi were nearby, he would try his best to endure it. If he couldn't bear it any longer, he would walk away and hide in a corner where there were no insects, enduring the pain alone.

And this pain seems to be getting stronger.

The system was extremely anxious when it saw him like this.

[Host, what's wrong with Elvis?]

It hadn't guessed that Elvis had awakened.

Jian Chi didn't reply, and he looked thoughtful all day.

After dinner, Jian Chi returned to his room and asked the system.

[You previously said that the original body awakened, recovering nearly 100,000 memories, and couldn't handle the massive amount of information, so it self-destructed.]

Yeah, what's wrong?

Could you tell me exactly how the self-destruction occurred?

The system was bewildered.

[Huh? How else could you self-destruct? It's just a "bang," and your soul explodes!]

[Did his soul self-destruct the moment he regained his memories?]

It wasn't an instantaneous moment; it lasted for about two or three seconds.

Jian Chi seemed to be deep in thought.

[What if he hadn't self-destructed...]

[Impossible. A hundred thousand memories is an immense amount. He's just a male insect with only B-level mental strength; both his mental capacity and intensity are weak. Once he awakens, he'll only face death.]

Upon hearing this, Jian Chi's eyes flickered slightly.

If one has high mental strength, can one endure for longer?

[Logically, that's how it should be... Wait, why are you suddenly concerned about this, host?]

It's nothing.

Jian Chi yawned: [So sleepy, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, baby.]

【…】

He closed his eyes, but did not fall into a deep sleep; instead, he kept himself in a light sleep state.

Elvis, who was standing next to him, hadn't been acting well since the daytime, and he sensed that things would get even worse at night.

We might experience what happened last night again.

And as he predicted, not long after, something indeed went wrong.

But this wasn't the kind of problem he had imagined...

In his hazy sleep, he first felt Elvis approach.

But Elvis didn't stare at him with that cold, murderous gaze he had the night before.

Instead, the insect buried itself in the crook of his neck, constantly burrowing and emitting ambiguous, low moans from its throat, quickly wetting his neck.
