The Collection of The End

Unknown space.

Become a xel'naga?

Or,

From a young and beautiful woman to an ugly monster?

Even if you use the aesthetics of the protoss, you don't have to consider it. Even if you do so, you will gain enough power, but looking at the golden fleet of the protoss, the power is not in urgent need now.

But what Raynor expected was that Kerrigan and Ariel were both lost in thought.

Could it be that my guess was wrong? Young girls don’t really care about appearance that much?

"No, forget it," Ariel finally shook her head and said, "I don't want to change from a plant to an animal yet."

You are human!

"If you want to become a Xel'naga, what exactly should you do?" Kerrigan said while flipping her hair.

Okay, got it.

Renault glanced at the former ghost, noticed the tentacle-like hair of the Queen of Blades, and quickly looked away.

After she fully mastered the ability of the "Original Blade Queen" and could freely retract and release the horny body according to her own wishes, the thing comparable to Medusa became a major problem for her - although she did not show it. .

If you think about it carefully, hair is just like nails. It doesn't feel when it's cut. Strictly speaking, it's not a body part. Even if the Queen of Blades can control her body, it's still a part she can't control.

Therefore, it would be best if you can change them back after becoming a Xel'Naga. Even if you can't change them back, with the Queen of Blades' control over herself, you won't be able to maintain the appearance of a fat patched balloon.

...Hmm, but why didn't she ask Angela or Emil for help?

[You should know very well that Irisen can grow by swallowing the 'biological characteristics' of other creatures,] Orus said: [I will extract all the biological characteristics of myself and give them to you to swallow. When I transform into pure void again When you become a creature, you will become a new xel'naga - one whose appearance will be closer to your original race, rather than Leviathan. 】

"What do you mean by pure void creatures?" Kerrigan raised an eyebrow.

[A creature that only exists in subspace and has no means of interfering with the real dimension.] Orus replied: [It just so happens that I am not very satisfied with the current image. 】

"...Isn't this just a behavior of messing around when creating an account and selecting people, only to find out after starting the game that you can't change it?" Renault keenly heard Jimmy complaining behind him.

"So, when does it start? Where?" Kerrigan continued.

[Originally, it was just about sealing the consciousness of the insect swarm. It can be completed here, but the Xel'Naga transformation ceremony must be carried out in the real dimension, and it takes a while.] Orus shook it: [Anyway, let your friends check it out. I'll clear out a landing site, by the way, the xel'naga biomass will make the zerg 'a little crazy'. 】

"Haha, don't worry about this," Kerrigan looked back at Renault: "right, cowboy?"

Sure enough, it has developed into this.

Raynor slapped the power armor: "I'm happy to oblige! Madam!"

Char, coalition base.

boom!

Hiss!

Buzz buzz——

Covered with volcanic ash and magma rocks,

Even on the surface of the planet where lava flows, a battle between steel, psychic energy and flesh and blood is going on.

Countless springtails, hydralisks, mutalisks, and their variants are constantly pouring in from all directions of the temporary base, and are then beaten into pools by psychic beams, gauss rifle projectiles, large-caliber artillery, and even other zerg units. flesh.

However, even if they were killed as if they were mowing grass, these insects acted without any hesitation or hesitation.

They have only one target: the huge balloon-shaped creature in the center of the base and the golden figure in front of him.

"Damn it, cowboy," Tychus dropped two overheated bolters: "The words 'a little time' and 'a little crazy' in that big balloon's mouth seem to be a bit different from what I remember."

"After all, it's the 'Voice of the Soul', so that's more than enough." Renault raised his gun and shot down an alien dragon that completely ignored the defenses along the way and rushed straight to the ceremony site. Then he glanced at the ceremony site in the middle of the base: "Now What we have to worry about is, if we kill all the bugs in advance and the Bug Saint comes out, how will we deal with it."

The ritual mentioned by the Xel'Naga named Aurus has neither the mistiness of soaring into the void nor the strangeness of the evolution of flesh and blood. From the outside, it looks like a large balloon emitting a golden light from a distance, which is constantly being maintained. It's just an image of Kerrigan in a crouching position absorbing it.

Since a battle may occur at any time during the ceremony, Kerrigan has already activated the "Queen of Blades" fighting form at this time, but under the golden light, her bone armor and protective horn all show a kind of flowing light. With a colorful appearance, the pair of sharp bone wings have turned into the gorgeous wings of some giant bird.

If you ignore the big ugly balloon, this is a scene of the birth of an angel.

Whoever says in the future that Xel'Naga has no sense of aesthetics at all will be impatient with him. If this shape was not created after he understood human culture, could it still be an imitation of some real individual?

Choking——ang——

As the last batch of Ultralisks mixed with poisonous banelings slumped down amidst the roar of countless aircraft carriers, small planes and siege tanks, the originally fierce defensive battlefield instantly fell silent.

"Yeah! We win! Pony! Did you see that?" Mira waved her energy cannon to take credit for Matt, who was left in the Planet Fortress - just a name.

"No, it's not over yet," Matt's voice was still serious: "Something huge is coming towards you."

"It's not huge at all..."

Boom boom boom!

Right in front of the temporary base, the battlefield covered with carapace and flesh exploded, and a giant creature that was more than five times larger than Aurus emerged from the ground.

It looked like a huge volcano made of flesh and blood. There were four giant tentacles pointing to the sky on the outer wall. Lava and flames were spurting out of its body. As soon as it appeared, it began to move towards Kerrigan's location.

The allied forces of humans and protoss, as well as some of the surrendered zerg and heat-resistant plants launched attacks on it without hesitation, but no matter what type of attack, they could not hinder it in the slightest. Some of the melee units that rushed forward even He was directly swept away and assimilated by the waving tentacles.

"[This is the 'Insect Saint'... but the ritual has not been completed yet,]" Tassadar's voice revealed determination: "[If only the Xel'Naga can destroy it, then as a high-level Protoss Templar, I A full blow will at least injure it.】"

As he spoke, a bright blue light began to bloom on the aircraft carrier driven by Tassadar, and it crashed into the "crater" with an indomitable momentum, ignoring the exclamations and dissuasion on the channel.

bump.

A golden arm directly supported the aircraft carrier that was trying to hit the Insect Saint.

[Go back and lead your people honestly, Tassadar.] Kerrigan, who was covered in gold and whose face was almost unrecognizable, had completed the ceremony at some point and instantly crossed to the front of the aircraft carrier and pushed it back. : [This is the job of Xel'Naga (Marvel). 】
