StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 250 Special Chapter: Species Evolution [The Origin of the Zerg]

bishop?

Yes, Your Excellency!

The female's eyes lit up immediately after the other party revealed her identity.

At the same time, he released his teeth from the servant's hand and broke free from his restraints.

Without bothering to tidy his appearance, he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I just... Queen Insect, the room, red..."

She was somewhat incoherent, frantically trying to explain something, but ultimately, fear and panic prevented her from speaking directly.

Upon hearing her mention "Insect Queen," the insect servants instantly became extremely vigilant. "What's wrong with the Insect Queen?"

Seeing her trembling with fear and even incoherent speech, Ryan waved the hand holding the black and red scepter. "It seems that Miss may need some chants to calm her inner turmoil."

His eyes revealed the benevolence and compassion befitting a bishop, and he steered clear of the topic of the insect mother, saying softly, "I think Miss won't refuse."

The female was moved and quickly lowered her head. "Yes, Your Excellency, I will not refuse."

Ryan then left with the female, and the guards stood outside the empty office once again.

He suddenly woke up, thinking he was daydreaming. One of the guards felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't recall it at all.

The water stains on the ground had completely disappeared, and the sun was still shining brightly outside the window, with a gentle breeze blowing, just like any other peaceful afternoon.

Aside from the faint bloodstains on the guard's gloves, it was clear that it wasn't a dream.

……

After dealing with everything, including the murals and papers in the Insect Mother's room, Ryan wiped the bloodstains from his fingertips, threw the used tissues into the blazing brazier, and watched as the tissues gradually turned black, burned, and turned into ashes.

All the Zerg who knew about this were dealt with cleanly, just like a used tissue.

Ryan, unusually, did not wear his black and red scepter, which symbolized his bishop status.

Instead, he placed his hands on his chest, slowly knelt before the idol, closed his eyes, and prayed.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

"This is an era of loyalty, and also an era of betrayal."

"This is a red era, but also a gray era."

"..."

"You have everything, you have nothing."

His slightly hoarse voice calmly recited the eulogy.

—Words from ancient times, belonging to the blue planet.

Although those words were something he had never seen before, and were unlike any other writing system in the universe!

Yet he still managed to translate the few sacred eulogies from those obscure and difficult-to-understand Blue Star texts, amidst the strange symbols.

Even though he knew he didn't have a talent for language translation, things might really be as predicted on those few tattered scrolls of paper.

This will be a groundbreaking era.

The magnificent statues bathed in sunlight possess an antiquity that does not belong to this era. Like all sculptures that have been salvaged from the deep seabed, weathered by wind and sun, and eventually sunk into the sea, even after restoration, the traces left by time cannot be erased.

It was a huge statue of a goddess.

She possesses characteristics that are completely different from those of the Zerg.

She had no wings on her back, no antennae on her forehead... She had none of the things that the Zerg possessed!

Apart from the humanoid body.

Unlike many goddess statues, this statue does not hold any weapons, nor does it make any gesture of attack, defense, or prayer.

She simply clasped her hands together and placed them on her lower abdomen.

Even though her face was eroded beyond recognition, one could still tell from her posture that the goddess's expression was solemn and dignified, revealing an inviolable sacredness.

Rumor has it that this is the first generation of the insect queen.

Ryan's gaze lingered on the goddess statue, unable to look away for a long time.

"Six-winged red worms? The legendary culprits behind the mass extinction of life in the universe?"

Ryan chuckled to himself, looking down, and muttered, "Shouldn't this be a myth?"

He didn't believe that the mysterious species that supposedly drifted from Earth would arrive on Wangxing after consuming all the species on an entire planet.

"Those are all myths."

He walked slowly to the bookshelf, took out a classic book with gold lettering, and began to read it carefully.

Legend has it that the Zerg were not initially controlled by the Queen's pheromones; they were simply a group of creatures that instinctively killed, bit, and fed on each other.

Later, with the arrival of the first Zerg Queen, the Zerg began to evolve.

From the moment the first reptile, guided by its mother, attempted to support its massive body with its two legs, the Zerg began to evolve.

In the early Old Era, the Zerg began to walk upright.

In the first phase of the Old Age, the Stone Age began, and with the use of fire, the Zerg developed a sense of cooperation.

In order to adapt to cooperative hunting, the Zerg shed their original bulky exoskeleton and evolved slender, long, heavy legs that could support the weight of their upper bodies.

However, during this period, their legs still had a hard outer shell, and they had not evolved limbs such as 'toes' similar to those of orcs.

The Zerg shed their cumbersome shells a very long time ago. So long that there are no written records of this history spanning over seven thousand years.

That part is the only blank in the evolutionary history of the Zerg.

However, biologists still stubbornly believe that the glands and pheromones in the Zerg's body developed during the void period.

Ryan had reservations about this matter.

Fingers gradually traced across hardcover books, thread-bound books, and densely packed pages of compiled but unprinted paper, until they reached a hidden corner.

The yellowed paper, covered in a layer of dust, indicated that it hadn't been opened by the Zerg for a long time.

Ryan wiped away the dust, revealing a 'book' bound together with various pieces of paper of different sizes.

The pages in the book vary in size and color, but without exception, they are all yellowed and so fragile that they seem to break at the slightest touch.

The information recorded above is the true information about the Zerg Queen.

"The thirteenth Insect Queen, Alodesna Proga, blonde hair and green eyes, ... date of birth and date of death unknown."

"The fourteenth Insect Queen, Collen,..."

"The fifteenth Insect Queen..."

"..."

Of the 167 insect queens, excluding the first twelve insect queens who had no written records, and the previous insect queen who died unexpectedly, all the other registered insect queens died from the same cause!

Ryan closed the book and threw the 'book' into the burning brazier as well.

The arrival of the six-winged red worm is usually accompanied by the death of the queen worm and the 'evolution' of the worm race.

"I believe more that external forces intervened than biological evolution, which enabled the Zerg to possess intelligence."

Ryan said with a smile.

Perhaps feeling that his appearance was not elegant, he chose to reach for the scepter.

On the back of my hand, the six-winged red worm pattern emitted a faint glow before quickly merging into my skin and disappearing.
