A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

*************

......

As the most numerous race among the insectoids, the ant tribe is mostly weak, with only a few species possessing combat capabilities.

The waiter was a termite, specifically the weakest of the termite tribes.

The termite insect form is less than half a meter in size, with a soft exoskeleton, poor eyesight, small mouthparts, and no venom. They can only perform clerical work, and there are no termite soldiers in the ant army.

"Test the drug," the Insect King commanded.

The young attendant looked up in alarm: "Your Majesty—"

Who knows what this thing is, and they just let him eat it like that?

"Go quickly." The Insect King showed no mercy.

Orion held the small bottle and handed it over steadily. There was also a glass of water.

The young waiter reached out his hand, trembling.

He looked at the Insect King again pleadingly, but the Insect King showed him no pity.

The waiter trembled as he walked down the steps.

Orion placed the medicine bottle in front of him.

The waiter raised his hand to take it, but then convulsed almost uncontrollably.

He touched the dark bottle in Orion's hand, flinched as if electrocuted, and then gripped it tightly as if grasping at a lifeline.

She looked up at Orion in despair, her lips trembling, unable to utter a sound.

Orion glanced at the medicine bottle, gesturing with his eyes, conveying an undeniable command: Take it.

The waiter's eyes instantly dimmed, and the last glimmer of light went out.

He resignedly lowered his head.

Without taking any water, he unscrewed the white bottle stopper, closed his eyes, and as if swallowing a deadly poison, suddenly tilted his head back and poured all the unknown medicine in the bottle into his mouth!

Swallow.

It seems to be a very ancient form of pill—

next second.

He couldn't help but revert back to his insect form.

The tiny termites are only 30 to 40 centimeters long, about the length of an adult's forearm, with glossy shells and delicate claws.

"Hiss...hiss...—!" The termite tilted its head back, its mouth wide open, emitting an indescribable hiss.

A dull thud came from its body as if its bones were being forcibly cracked.

Then, its tiny body was violently expanded and stretched open from the inside by an unseen giant hand!

The pearl-like carapace was instantly stretched open by the surging muscle fibers, cracking open in countless places, only to heal rapidly.

The regenerated carapace is no longer pearly white, but becomes grayish-white, rough, and hardened at a visible speed, growing ridges and bone spikes similar to the hard carapaces of other Zerg.

Its body swelled and deformed wildly.

The joints break off in the opposite direction and then reform, becoming thick and covered with a hard chitinous shell.

......

In just a few minutes, the tiny termites, only 30 centimeters long, ate the pesticide and swelled into enormous insects nearly three meters long.

It has the outline of a giant insect, covered with a thick carapace, and six limbs as thick as battering rams, with sharp barbs at the ends.

Seemingly incredulous, it moved from side to side on the hall floor with its newly grown tall, segmented limbs, observing its own reflection on the floor.

They, the termite tribe, have never experienced the feeling of power.

......

A living miracle came true before their very eyes.

Orion touched the hard, segmented limbs of the mutated termite, looking at the terrifying creature that had been created with awe.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is the power of the enhancement drug."

It can instantly grant the weak immense power.

At this point, the Insect King calmed down: "What are the side effects?"

It's impossible for something like this to be without side effects.

If it weren't for the side effects, Orion would have already reached the central star with it.

According to the law of conservation of energy, it should be considered an overdraft. How much overdraft?

"Your Majesty is extremely discerning," Orion said with a smile.

"There are indeed some side effects, but the termite will be weak for a while after being powerful. Each pill can keep the female termite strong for about an hour. There are 12 pills in this bottle, so this termite will probably stay in this state for about 12 hours. The period of weakness afterwards will be about 120 hours, or about 5 days."

The Insect King fell silent.

This is not a short period of time.

Orion continued smiling, seemingly unfazed: "You think it's impractical? Then go ask the weaker races among the Zerg, do they want to remain weak for a long time, or be powerful for a short time?"

The insect king looked at the mutated termites.

The mutated termites looked longingly at the medicine bottle in Orion's hand.

He wanted more.

The result is self-evident.

The Zerg legions are now composed of several powerful races; those that are not powerful cannot serve as female soldiers.

However, the Zerg have over a million races, and many of them are weak.

The potion in Orion's possession can enhance the strength of weaker races, temporarily bringing them up to the average level of female warriors.

Don't be afraid of the long period of weakness, since there are so many insects, you can just take the medicine in batches.

In the Zerg race, strength reigns supreme, and no race desires power more than the weaker ones.

They were willing to do anything to gain power.

With this, he could rebuild a large, loyal, and powerful army to contend with the princeling faction.

Hundreds of millions of loyal female soldiers yearning for power.

The Insect King was tempted.

What a wonderful future!

Although the Crown Prince is the light of the legion, he can be a god to ordinary races.

Having acquired this powerful force, the Crown Prince would have to treat him with utmost respect from now on, whether he liked it or not.

Even better, there's no need to worry about Orion seizing power.

He was a space pirate, and even if he regains his identity, it will be an indelible stain, and he can never be the Queen of the Bugs again.

The Insect King coughed and said, "Messenger, draft the imperial edict."

—Remove the wanted notice, restore Orion's prince status, and grant him access.

All past accusations of space pirate treason and exile are hereby wiped clean!

The messenger asked, "Your Majesty, what is the title?"

On what grounds was the pirate leader pardoned?

After a moment's thought, the Insect Emperor said, "Under the pretext that the First Insect Empress sent the Second Prince to infiltrate the space pirate forces and eliminate the space pirates, I can testify that I personally witnessed and heard the First Insect Empress's secret order to the Second Prince."

"Now that all the space pirates have been killed, it's time for the Second Prince to return to the Empire. We must not let our heroes lose heart!"

Since the dead can't testify, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not; at least the title has been given.

Anyone who objects must provide evidence.

Could they possibly resurrect Atticus?

No, if we continue to argue unreasonably, then it would be like questioning His Majesty the Insect Emperor's treason without any evidence.

Anyone who questions it will be punished.

The Insect King looked at Orion with satisfaction: "Second Prince, I grant you the authority. You may use all the Empire's laboratories at your disposal. Produce a sufficient quantity of the enhancement drugs as quickly as possible. Your contribution this time is outstanding. Rest assured, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Orion touched his chest and bowed.

"Your original Second Prince's palace must be abandoned by now, since you haven't returned to the capital for so long," the Insect Emperor said kindly. "The First Prince's palace from the past has been renovated and is ready for occupancy over the years. I have decided to bestow it upon you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Orion bowed even lower, his hair hanging down, so the Insect King could not see his expression.

However, his voice was full of gratitude, he must have been extremely grateful to him!
