[—Are you calling me?]
In fact, the Zerg should not be able to understand human language, but because the child established a spiritual connection with the King Bug cub similar to that of the Zerg, he could understand it.
Because it is not through language that we understand what the other person is expressing, but rather it is conveyed directly through a spiritual connection.
But-
Why would he connect with a human child
At that moment, the king insect cub suddenly confirmed the whereabouts of the neural fluid extracted from it.
Because they were injected into the body of this human child, this can explain why when he, as the king, summoned the Zerg, the target received was Huo Chao.
Although the other party showed him kindness and closeness, this made the young king insect feel extremely angry, humiliated, and hateful. So he smashed the indestructible glass.
boom!
The loud noise startled the young boy.
[you you… ]
Xiao Huo stuttered for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
The king insect cub revealed its cold and terrifying vertical pupils and sharp fangs. It was thought that the other party would be scared and cry, or run away.
Unexpectedly, the young boy came even closer, with the tip of his nose almost touching the glass, forming a small pig nose. His eyes were sparkling, as if he had discovered the most beautiful thing in the world and was amazed and impressed by it.
[You... your eyes are so beautiful, golden and shining like the sun.]
The young king insect who originally wanted to scare the other party to death: […]
It was like a punch on cotton, which only made him feel ashamed, angry, and bored. So the young king returned to the deepest part of the incubator, curled up, and ignored it.
But at this time, the child had already introduced himself to him.
[Hello, my name is Huo Chao. Huo… well, I can’t write it yet, but I know Chao. It’s the Chao in Chaori, which also means the sun, but it means the morning sun…]
But this made the young king insect feel only noisy, because he could not understand human language very well, but because of that strange connection, the voice of the child kept ringing in his mind.
So I finally had to respond—
[roll!]
This was the first word the young Wang had uttered since he was born.
His voice was still that of a larva, even sounding more immature than that of the seven-year-old Huo Chao. Coupled with his weak body, he had absolutely no killing power.
Xiao Huo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he actually felt a little happy.
[So you can talk!]
The young king glanced at him.
At this moment, the black-haired boy's face was almost entirely pressed against the glass, his facial features were flattened, and the hot breath he exhaled when he spoke hit the glass, creating another layer of fog.
all in all-
Looks stupid.
But Xiao Huo couldn't see him. All he could see was the strange child curled up in the blue liquid.
[Your voice is so tender, you sound like you are younger than me, are you my younger brother?]
Overlord cub: […]
very noisy!
So annoying!!!
The young king was very irritable!
This human child is so annoying!!!
If he hadn't been locked up inside and unable to get out, he would have strangled the kid to death with his own hands!
But at this time, Xiao Huo Chao was completely unaware that the other party was annoyed to death by him, and he just kept talking to himself -
[Brother, do you know that my godfather said that I will have a younger sister soon, and her name is Minmin.]
[…Shut up human!]
The young king insect couldn't stand it any more. He didn't want to know anything about this guy. Besides, as the king of the insect race, how could he be on good terms with a human? ?
[Who allowed you to call me that?!]
[… ]
Xiao Huo was stunned for a moment, then slowly blinked his eyes and said,
[I am a human being, but I am not called a human being. My name is Huo Chao.]
Overlord cub: […]
Is this the point? ! !
The point is to shut up!!!
At this time, Xiao Huo Chao seemed to have finally noticed the other party's unfriendly attitude. His eyebrows and eyes drooped, and his expression was a little lost, just like a wronged Alaskan puppy.
[But, you obviously look younger than me...]
-That's true.
Because the young kingworm curled up in the incubator was very young, and looked about the same age as a three or four-year-old human child. And Huo Chao was already seven years old.
Compared to the weak and skinny king insect cub, the latter is as strong as a tiger cub.
Therefore, Huo Chao appeared to be very powerful.
[If I can’t call you brother… then I’ll call you by your name.]
The black-haired boy became happy again, and his nose was pressed against the glass again, pressing into a pig nose again.
[-What's your name?]
[… ]
-no name.
King is just a respectful title.
He doesn't have a name yet.
Because his mother died, there was no time to give him a name.
Therefore, even if the young king insect wanted to answer this question, he had no answer.
The young boy didn't know that his unintentional words had touched the other party's most untouchable minefield and the unspeakable shame.
[roll!!!]
This time the voice was completely different from the previous one which merely expressed annoyance and disgust.
But extreme anger and murderous intent—
Buzz!!!
The black-haired boy felt a pain in his brain and fell to his knees with a thump. His knees hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound of pain.
So, what is that…
what is that…
So scary... So scary...
Xiao Huochao's pupils dilated to the extreme and trembled continuously.
That was the first time he sensed something so strange and terrifying.
The boy knelt on the ground, beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and every muscle in his body trembled uncontrollably with fear.
—Nearly suffocated.
That is a sign of extreme fear.
The Zerg have a very strict level of suppression. This suppression is not only reflected in the strength of physical genes and strength, but is actually imposed on the body through mental power.
And the king has absolute suppression over all Zerg.
—That is called royal pressure.
Generally speaking, humans cannot perceive it due to the complete difference in species. After all, their mental power compared to the Zerg is like the gap between primitive people in the Stone Age and modern technology.
Before humans began to realize the existence of mental power, the Zerg had already established a mental network for the entire race.
—But Huo Chao could sense it.
Because he was injected with the king's neural fluid, he has established a connection with the young king that is similar to the Zerg mental network.
He could hear the young king's call, and naturally could also sense the other party's extremely angry pressure.
So at this moment—
The future commander of mankind, His Highness the Son of God of the Illusion God, was just like all the Zerg, crawling at the feet of the angry young king, trembling with fear, and at a loss.
Such terrible pressure seemed to last only a few seconds, but it also seemed to last for a very long time.
During this time, the young Huo Chao clearly heard the voice in his mind.
It was still childish, similar to the voice of a three or four-year-old human child, but the cold murderous intent in it made him tremble uncontrollably.
[You despicable human, do you think you can steal the King's power by taking a few drops of neural fluid?]
[Take a good look at how humble you are now.]
[A disgusting parasite and thief like you is not even worthy of kneeling at my feet and begging for mercy!]
At this moment, the young king of the Zerg looked down at the trembling human child in fear, his golden vertical pupils filled with indifference and hatred—
[One day, I will kill you with my own hands.]
[By then, the entire human race will face the most bloody and crazy revenge from the Zerg!]
The young Huo Chao bit his trembling lips tightly and could not utter a word.
He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.
But one thing is clear, that is, the strange child in front of him does not seem to be a human, but something... Zerg.
And, the other party really, really... disliked and hated him.
No, not just him, but all human beings.
What neural fluid
What stealing
Did he do anything bad
At this moment, the anxious voices of the believers came from outside—
[Your Highness!]
[His Highness Huo Chao! ]
Several white-robed believers rushed in, their faces filled with worry and even fear.
[Your Highness Huo Chao, why are you here...]
At this time, the black-haired boy who had been kneeling on the ground just now had stood up again. He carefully wiped the sweat off his face. Except for his slightly pale face, he looked no different from usual.
He turned around stiffly, revealing an unnatural smile.
[Ah... I was just curious, so I came in to take a look.]
The young king insect thought that after the other party left like this, they would never come back.
But unexpectedly, on the contrary—
The human cub named Huo Chao was just looking for trouble, coming whenever he had time. Not only that, he also brought a lot of strange things and showed great affection towards him.
The young king knew the reason very well. The Zerg were born with an infinite affinity and admiration for the king, as well as a fanatical love for him.
The child probably had a natural closeness to him because of the neural fluid injected into him, but this did not make the young king feel happy or safe. On the contrary, he felt extremely threatened and dangerous.
—Because it was obvious that the other party was here to replace him.
The human child fed on his neural fluid, constantly drawing upon his life force to grow.
—like a disgusting parasite.
This caused the young king insects to feel extreme disgust and hatred towards Huo Chao.
After all, he went from being the king of the Zerg to being fish on the chopping board of humans, and then he had to be eaten bite by bite.
This was the ultimate humiliation for him.
It’s just that the young king is too weak. His nerve fluid has been extracted since he hatched, and he has very little energy to grow, let alone take revenge.
So the young king chose to remain silent, rest, ignore it, and try to accumulate a little bit of strength.
Until one day, the human child came running over again, with some strange golden lines all over his face. He seemed to have cried, and his eyes and nose were red.
[sorry Sorry… ]
[I will... I will get you out.]
[I will give you back all that… all that…]
The boy knelt in front of the huge incubator, his small body curled up in pain, his slender and tender back trembling constantly, like a longbow that was about to break.
[sorry Sorry… ]
The young king insect was stunned because this was the first human to apologize to him.
—Still a child.
After each king insect is born, their genes will drive them to take on the mission of reproduction and growth of the race, which also leads to their natural desire to protect and love the larvae.
—This is probably the most wonderful and bizarre thing in the world.
One is human and the other is Zerg.
But because of the most despicable means of theft, they were forced to connect.
Just like Huo Chao is obviously a human being, but because of this slight connection, he would crawl under the pressure of the royal family and tremble in fear.
And at this moment, because of this slight connection, the young king felt a strange kind of softness towards the crying child.
Because at this time, he cried so sadly, painfully, and ashamed, as if he had encountered the saddest thing in the world.
Big tears fell to the ground, and the childish and hoarse sobbing voice was hard and trembling.
But in the end, the young king did not believe it rashly, he just watched coldly from the sidelines.
However, his connection with Huo Chao is still different from that of ordinary Zerg.
Because the young Wang was gradually able to briefly gain some of Huo Chao's perspectives, it was a bit like the state in which the driver and the mecha were empathetically connected through the mental chain.
Of course, Huo Chao is that mecha.
At this time, the young king began to use the little connection with Huo Chao to spy on this strange human world. He quickly learned the human language and quickly understood the society and various characteristics of this race.
So weak...
The young king insects didn’t understand how such a weak race could break through the Zerg’s protection and obtain the royal insect eggs
Huo Chao actually knew that the other party was using him, but he didn't mind. On the contrary, because of guilt and instinctive closeness, he liked this state very much.
Because only at this time can the young king insect escape from the cage for a short time.
However, Huo Chao was also in a cage.
Huo Chao is actually very busy every day, busy studying various courses, among which combat is the biggest one, and he has many top teachers.
Various firearms, close combat, mecha control, combat command, and so on, many more.
Even though Huo Chao was considered a genius among ordinary people, he was still somewhat overwhelmed by so many courses and such strict requirements.
During training, he fought against an adult cultist. It was common for a boy of eight or nine to be defeated by a senior cultist who had experienced many battles.
boom!
Huo Chao was stepped on the ground by the other party.
It was not known whether it was a mistake or intentional, but the other party was stepping on his face in an almost humiliating way.
Tsk!
After hearing a familiar smacking of the tongue, Huo Chao instantly lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he saw that his body and hands were covered in blood.
The man was lying on the ground with a big hole in his chest and a bloody mess inside.
[So weak!]
The young king insect probably knew the hierarchy within the Phantom God Cult, which was very similar to that of the Zerg, so he didn't understand why someone would dare to humiliate Huo Chaogui, the son of God, like this.
If it were the Zerg, being killed would be a matter of course.
But Huo Chao couldn't accept it.
The familiar voice in his mind made Huo Chao understand what had just happened. It was the king insect that replaced his body and killed the other party.
That was the first time that the good-tempered Huo Chao lost his temper with the king insect cub.
It was not because the other party used his body without permission, but because the other party directly killed people in such a cruel way.
[How could you... How could you kill him... ]
The boy was so upset that he cried.
[Even if he was wrong, he shouldn't have died in such a cruel and painful way.]
Huo Chao was born to be such a person, kind, gentle, and tolerant. There is no dark corner in his heart.
But in the eyes of the King Insect, this guy is so kind that he is weak.
But if Huo Chao was not such a person, he would not feel extremely ashamed and painful because he was forced to accept the king insect's nerve fluid.
However, the dispute did not last for ten minutes, and Huo Chao was the first to bow his head. He did not force the king insect to change the law of the jungle, but just begged the other party not to use his body to kill people again, even if it was to help him.
[Heh, don't be so self-indulgent, Huo Chao!]
The young king sneered.
[If you were not still of some use to me, I would be happier if you died.]
Huo Chao was silent for a long time, and only said,
[Then use me.]
He lowered his head.
[Anyway, I owe you.]
[… ]
However, since this incident, Huo Chao discovered that the other party's learning ability was so terrifying that he could not even imagine it.
It took Huo Chao several days to practice fighting skills, but his opponent could master them with just a glance.
Not only combat skills, but also everything else he needed to learn, the young king insect learned at a speed dozens of times faster than him.
Huo Chao was not a person who would feel ashamed to admit his flaws and shortcomings. On the contrary, he was very frank and willing to seek advice.
He scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
[My noble and wise king, could you please teach me how to do that?]
[… Tsk, so stupid.]
The genius son of God in the eyes of others is just a fool who learns everything very slowly in the eyes of the King Insect.
Or is he a life idiot who can even button his clothes incorrectly
Perhaps no one knows that the Marshal, who is so powerful in the eyes of the world, also has a shadow that people will always look up to and cannot surpass.
Many years later, everyone in the Phantom God Cult felt that Huo Xianfeng's fighting style, combat skills, and even mecha control were similar to Huo Chao.
But in fact, it was Huo Chao who looked like Huo Xianfeng.
The person he has always been learning from, pursuing, and looking up to is Huo Xianfeng.
—Huo Chao is the accessory and imitation.
Huo Chao began to grow up, from a young child into a handsome teenager, and gradually showed the strength and edge unique to an alpha.
But the weak young king did not change much. He looked like he had grown from a human child of three or four years old to six or seven years old at most.
Because of the excessive injection of neural fluid, Huo Chao's appearance began to change towards that of a king insect. He was not the same as when he was a child. His eyes were originally round, but they began to become narrow and long.
And for the same reason, the queen insect whose neural fluid was excessively extracted began to show signs of degeneration.
When too much neural fluid is extracted, the lower Zerg will become deformed, with their heads swelling and their bodies shrinking. The higher Zerg will degenerate into the form of the lower Zerg, gradually losing their minds and turning into bloodthirsty and crazy monsters.
This is the most extreme humiliation and pain for the King Insect.
It was at this time that Huo Chao started his own plan, but his power alone was too weak. So Huo Chao decided to first leave the church and build his own power.
The first person Huo Chao favored was Jiang Jinsheng.
The other party was the Saint's most satisfied student, a genius in military industry, and came from a famous wealthy family in the alliance. After a long period of testing, he found that the other party's character and personality were quite good.
This kind of power is either military power or political power. But in that era of rebellion in the alliance, it is obvious that military power determines political power. The Illusion God Cult had just begun to emerge in the alliance, so naturally it also wanted military power.
Thus, Huo Chao successfully got the opportunity to join the army. However, Jiang Jinsheng alone was not enough.
[I think if you want military power, you need to find a confidant who understands politics and is good at socializing.]
The silver-haired young man suggested to him,
[Because controlling an army requires more than just force. Even if you become a commander, you still have to deal with the alliance leaders.]
Huo Chao felt that what the other party said made sense, because he also knew that his overly talkative personality did not make him suitable for dealing with politics.
So the second person, Huo Chao found the seventeen-year-old Pei Changyun.
Pei Changyun's father is a notorious yet famous □□ in the alliance.
So, the first time Huo Chao saw the boy with black hair and green eyes was in prison.
With just that one glance, Huo Chao felt—
It's him.
Because no beta juvenile offender can sit in the seat of a prison warden and have a group of alphas standing beside him, cautious and fearful.
[Hello, I am Huo Chao,]
The future human commander stretched out his hand to the green-eyed boy and opened his mouth with a bright smile like a sunflower.
[Although this may come as a surprise, I still sincerely invite you.]
[—Be my Archon.]
[… ]
Pei Changyun raised his eyebrows slowly, and his green eyes became extremely cold.
Then Huo Chao was ignored.
Pei Changyun didn't even look at him, and turned away. Behind him followed a group of ferocious alpha criminals, each of whom glared at him fiercely.
[laugh-]
At that moment, Huo Chao heard the King Insect's merciless ridicule.
The Son of God, who can almost call the wind and rain in the church, does not understand how to deal with people. He thinks that as long as he is sincere, everything will be fine.
After all, it was with his sincerity that he eased the relationship with the King Insect and gained Jiang Jinsheng's friendship.
[Isn't my smile friendly and sincere enough?]
As soon as these words came out, Huo Chao heard the other party's merciless ridicule.
[—You’re laughing so stupidly, idiot!]
[…But I always smile like this.]
Huo Chao was a little angry.
[Why didn’t you say so earlier?]
[Say it earlier?]
The King Insect snorted coldly—
[Don’t I call you stupid every day?]
Huo Chao: […]
It seems so.
I got used to it and didn't notice it.
Tsk—
Huo Chao felt that he couldn't give up just like that. He had never seen such an arrogant beta. Moreover, he heard that Pei Changyun had taken down several senior officials of the alliance before and his skills were beyond reproach.
—This person is born to be a politician.
Huo Chao touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
[No, I have to think of a way to get him.]
Wang Chong did not answer this time. He was already very weak and could not keep in touch with Huo Chao all the time.
So later, Huo Chao pursued Pei Changyun for more than half a year. In the end, even Wang Chong didn't know what means this guy used, but he finally got the person.
Huo Chao has a wonderful charm that makes people feel safe and relaxed when they are with him.
However, before joining the army, he told Pei Changyun that he came from the Phantom God Cult, but he did not mention anything about the King Insect.
They sat on the tall white tower, looking at the distant scenery. Suddenly, they talked about their dreams.
Pei Changyun's father was wrongly imprisoned because of rebellions and chaos everywhere, so his dream is to build a country he likes.
Then he asked about Huo Chao's dream.
In fact, the King Insect also wants to know.
Because Huo Chao looks high and mighty in front of outsiders, they imitate him and pretend to be cold as ice, but in fact he is extremely kind.
So a few seconds later, Huo Chao pushed Pei Changyun down and told him that his dream was to turn into the wind.
Later, they lay on the grass and watched the sun rise.
At that moment, Huo Chao closed his eyes and suddenly asked Wang Chong in his mind,
[Well, noble and powerful king, would you like a name?]
[… ? ]
[How about calling... Xianfeng?]
Huo Chao closed his eyes, feeling the gentle breeze of the morning blowing past him.
[Free, idle, unrestrained wind.]
The King Insect snorted coldly.
[Name me after your dream? Huo Chao, you really think highly of yourself.]
[It’s not my dream, it’s our dream.]
Huo Chao said to him softly,
[From now on, no one will be able to control our destiny anymore.]
But after saying this, he sighed again,
[But this will probably be a very long time in the future.]
The King was silent for a few seconds.
[what ever.]
[—Then we will be friends from now on!]
Huo Chao's depressed voice suddenly became excited.
[breeze!!!]
[…Don’t call me that disgusting name!!!]
The king insect's hair exploded.
[Shut up, what a crappy name, I don’t want it!]
At this time, Pei Changyun stood up and gently pushed Huo Chao.
[Fell asleep?]
[… ]
Huo Chao did not move, because he was still excited in his mind: his always cold Zerg friend finally accepted his name. However, he also heard Pei Changyun calling him, but when Huo Chao was about to open his eyes, he suddenly felt his lips soften.
Huo Xianfeng: […]
Really, it was a good thing that he didn't angrily seize control of Huo Chao's body just now.
Otherwise he would be the one being kissed.
so close.
However, Huo Xianfeng still smiled meaningfully, and didn't even care about the disgusting name the other party had just called him.
[I say Huo Chao, he has really grown up, he even learned the American A plan.]
Huo Chao, who was completely unaware of the situation: […]
What! When did the pure friendship between him and the Archon turn sour? ! !
