StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"It's like a nightmare come true."

Jim Raynor stood on the brightly lit broad bridge of the White Star and looked at the slowly rotating planet Atrias under the porthole.

Terrifying void fissures are emerging from the surface of the planet, and red void energy is rising into the sky. The area it covers and the height it reaches are so amazing that they are clearly visible in high-altitude orbits. The void energy that erupted like volcanic lava even triggered changes in the crust of the planet Atrias, creating huge vortices in the atmosphere that could swallow dozens of Augustgrads.

Such a shattering scene truly illustrates what Amon's Wrath is.

At this moment, all those who witnessed such a horrific scene could truly feel the horror of Eamon. No wonder the Tal'darin protoss worships Aamon as a god. Probably only gods can display such supernatural power.

"What Zeratul said is true. When the nightmare comes to reality, the doomsday war will come." Augustus had a calm expression on his face, as if he had already anticipated the scene in front of him. In fact, even if his heart is really shaken, he will not show it anymore.

He is the emperor of the Tyran Empire and the backbone of the Tyran people. A king should be as motionless as a mountain, even if the mountain collapses in front of him, his appearance remains unchanged.

At present, hundreds of pillars composed of countless void celestial fragments are rising on the surface of Atrias, supporting the sky like mountains. Surrounding these void fragments, large and small void cracks are still emerging, as if springs are emerging, with blood from hell flowing in them.

Countless void creations are pouring out from the cracks in the void. These terrifying monsters shrouded in dark red light are the cold reflection of the dark side of the void, and their existence subverts all common sense in the material universe.

The Void now resembles a true hell, corrupted by Aamon's rage and resentment.

The only good news is that although these void creations are not ordinary life forms, they must consume a large amount of void energy if they want to exist in the material universe, so their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. And they are not undead, and can also be "killed". Reports from ground landing troops also prove this.

But on the other hand, there are a huge number of void creations. Even if they can be killed, the void cracks generated on the surface of the planet can create more.

".If it was Korhal who ended up like this, how many people would have lost their lives." Reno is an optimistic person most of the time. As a leader, his positive side can always infect his followers. But even he also has a negative and decadent side.

Now Renault is not alone, he has a big family to take care of. As the marshal of the Tyran Empire and the right-hand man whom Emperor Augustus relied on, Renault, who also held important responsibilities, was no longer the comfortable cowboy he used to be. There was an empire waiting for him to protect.

"I hope my worries are unnecessary. But if I were Amon, as long as I capture the capital of the Tyranid Empire, human morale will be greatly damaged, even if it does not collapse."

Renault's concerns are justified. On the planet Atrias, Amon has demonstrated his power. Only those who have witnessed it with their own eyes can know how terrifying the doomsday that Zeratul said will sweep across the entire Koprulu sector will be.

Previously, Renault obviously lacked such understanding. For humans, Amon, the god of void and darkness, is only a vague concept. They neither understand the void nor what Xel'Naga and Amon look like.

After all, it couldn't be confirmed before that they even existed.

Just imagine, as long as a planet is pulled into the void and turned into a part of the void, endless void creations can use this to step into the material universe. These void creations are made of pure void energy and can never be killed, and any point in fighting on the planet will cease to exist.

"Even if one day does come." Augustus's words showed his firm determination: "Khal will be Aemon's insurmountable iron wall, the hardest bone in the universe. And even in the last moment before the fall, The Korhal will not stop fighting for one moment."

The Terran humans were a young race, but they never surrendered.

"It's not that easy to capture Kehal." Renault's mind turned quickly and he immediately caught up with Augustus's thoughts. Within a sentence or two, they began to discuss how this doomsday battle should be fought.

What Reno didn't know was that long before he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Augustus had deduced countless times how this doomsday war should be fought. But he could tell that Augustus had already anticipated the possibility of Korhal being attacked, and that was how the Sky Shield was prepared.

All preparations are for the final battle. It would be short-sighted to say that Augustus frantically expanded his army just to deal with the zerg.

"In Korkha, we have the largest fleet and the strongest orbital defenses. Even if the high-altitude rails and the surface have been completely destroyed, we can still transfer to the surface through Augustgrad's underground train track system. The war is under way, and the supplies stored there are enough to fight for several years."

"And if you want to capture Korhal," Raynor said, "Amon's army must pay a heavy price."

"Then, we will have a decisive battle with Aemon in a place he least expects when he is distracted from dealing with Korhal and Sagulath." Augustus took over what Raynor said.

In the eyes of Augustus, Korhal was just a bargaining chip in the game, the price of victory. In an interstellar war, one wrong move can lead to the destruction of the planet and the destruction of all living beings, and there is no room for indecision.

"If I had a hammer in my hand, I would hit Eamon in the face without even thinking about it." Renault thought for a while: "But we don't know where this guy is."

"The void." Augustus paused: "In the void."

"The Void?" Renault felt that he understood something, but not completely: "But the phase technician Karax said that the void is a place where life cannot exist, so how should we enter it."

"Use the Xel'Naga spaceship!" Augustus said: "Before life existed, the Xel'Naga traveled between the void and reality in their spaceship. Moreover, after testing, the energy shield of the newly built warship and The armor can fully withstand the tearing force of the void for a period of time."

"Okay, then let's jump up to Eamon's face and give him a few blows." Renault said, "Let him see how powerful humans are."

"At the same time, we must unite the protoss and bugs as much as possible, and gather the last power in the universe to enter the void and kill Amon. This is the winner of this war." Augustus nodded, and then explain:

"The cauldron will sink the boat, and all the jade and stones will be destroyed."

As long as Eamon still has a health bar, there's nothing to fear.

Previously, in order to prevent Narud from noticing anything from Renault and others through mind reading, Augustus never revealed this plan to them.

But it doesn't matter now.

Soon there will be no need to worry about this.

Of course, Augustus also omitted many details, such as how to deal with the evil god's body used by Eamon to descend into reality, and what to do about Kara being corrupted by Eamon, and so on.

It's useless to tell Renault now.

Even if Tassadar announced to all the Duram protoss that Kara might be corrupted by Amon and asked them to immediately cut off the nerve bundles and cut off the connection with Kara, even with his prestige, he would immediately be regarded as a deviant by the angry protoss. .

Because there is no evidence.

How could thousands of years of tradition and belief be shaken by a few words? It was Kara who saved the ancestors of the Protoss Empire and brought this civilization to another peak in the catastrophe of the ages.

The El Protoss are fanatical believers of Kara. They have been in contact with Kara since they were born and have never lost contact with her.

As for telling Zeratul, it would be even more useless. His frantic pursuit of prophecies of doomsday in the universe over the years has led many people among the Duram protoss to think that he has become paranoid to the point of madness. If Zeratul comes out again at this time, it will only prove that he is really a madman.

In this kind of thing, only when death is imminent will the El Protoss believe that there is something wrong with Kara, and will they have the courage and determination to cut her off.

However, as long as the artifact is still in Augustus' hands, the problem of Kara's corruption is not an unsolvable dead end.

"Unite the Zerg?" Raynor was stunned for a moment. The protoss had already formed an alliance with the Tyranid Empire, but what happened to the Zerg?

When the end comes, the Terran Empire will of course have to unite all the forces that can be united, and this cannot only be done by humans. This second-generation little master is obsessed with killing humans and protoss, and shows no signs of cooperating with humans.

Of course, this is not certain. Since Amon is determined to destroy all living things in the universe, in order to instinctively seek survival, the will of the swarm will also try its best to find a way to survive.

"Original Zerg?" Renault thought of this possibility.

The original zerg have always been unruly, but considering that Zulwen, the ancestor of the zerg, trembled when he heard the name of Emon, maybe these guys will become the worm alliance when Emon's army comes, and follow happily to harvest. Maybe the essence.

On the Protoss side, it is certain that, except for the Tal'darin Protoss, the two branches of the Durham Protoss and the Purifier Protoss will side with the Tyranid Empire.

As for humans themselves, the Kemerian Consortium and Umoyan within the Koprulu sector are already considered half of the empire, so there is no need to worry at all.

The humans on Earth are too far away, separated by almost half of the Milky Way, and we don’t know what’s going on right now. Maybe they still have too much to take care of themselves.

The Zerg side is currently divided into the primitive insect swarm and the dominant insect swarm. The former only recognizes the essence but not the people, and the latter does not recognize the parents.

"Don't we still have Alpha?" Augustus smiled and said: "Now it has become a primitive brainworm and is no longer controlled by the main nest mind."

"." Renault felt very tired for a moment.

If they end up relying on the fat nerd brainworm to save the world.

It's better to destroy it.

Ever since Princess Louise kept this brainworm as a pet dog, this guy has been completely useless and spends his days drunk and dreaming of soda and chips. It had nothing to do but fight with Duke, and said that there is no room for two dogs in a mountain. This trick of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging itself by eight hundred really made the old man half angry to death.

"Unless it can really become the master." Renault thought for a while and didn't say it too harshly. This brainworm still has some brains, but it's just too salty.

"Then it's up to us to help it." Augustus said: "Of course, we don't expect it to do anything. When the time comes, it will take the dominant position."

"Is it possible that we can still kill the Overlord and all the brainworms?" Renault spread his hands.

"It seems that this is the only way." Augustus shrugged.

"But what if things don't go as you planned?" Renault asked.

"I have a plan B," Augustus said.

"I don't know your plan B yet, that is, there is no plan." Renault sighed.

"This time is different," Augustus said.

"You said the same thing last time." Renault was helpless, thinking that this conversation seemed familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he heard it.

"And Plan C," Augustus said.

"Tell me about it," Renault said.

"Zeratul has been away for a long time." Augustus was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know what's going on with him over there."

Zeratul has his own ship, and he always keeps to himself.

A few minutes ago, the Terran Empire's ground forces had just reported Zeratul's movements to Augustus - a gunnery sergeant claimed that Zeratul led several stalkers into the Temple of Iris. There was no news after that.

This is how the Dark Templar do things. In Shadowrun, they have to fight ten times the enemy alone. This is the path of the brave, and it is also the lonely path of death.

After Zeratul entered the temple, he only sent a message to Augustus, stating that he was going to find the void catalyst used by the Taldarin protoss in the Temple of Iris to communicate with Amon.

"My mother said that Ji people have their own celestial phenomena." Renault laughed dumbly: "Don't worry about Zeratul, but look at it, what should we do with this planet now?"

On the planet Atrias below, the surging void cracks are still increasing, and it seems that it will not be long before the planet will be pulled into the void. By then, they could not guarantee whether the void creations pouring out of it would attack the nearby Tyran Empire colonies.

Ordinary Sigma sector colonial troops have no way to compete with these formidable enemies.

"Well, we can't leave this planet to Eamon." Augustus looked at the main screen, which was being transferred to the scene in the White Star armory.

"Swan, tell me your plan."

"Oh, Your Majesty, I asked my old friend to get the drawings of the Moser-class doomsday device (from the official map introduction of StarCraft I)." Swann's familiar stocky figure appeared again.

"I tested it - it works great."

"This thing is much scarier than an apocalypse-level nuclear bomb."

"Old Federation militants used this device to detonate the entire Wotan II (the doomsday device changed from the Agrarian World to the Ash World due to the doomsday device) - the doomsday device detonated in the core of Wotan II's planet. There was a global volcanic eruption, and everything on the planet was reduced to ashes. Now, the entire surface of Wotan II is as ugly as briquettes." Swann said: "It is really a terrible tragedy."

"The unique geological changes in Atrias have created many strange cracks that can penetrate directly into the earth's crust. As long as a Moser-level doomsday device is sent in, the high-energy gases rich in the planet can be detonated, sending the entire planet into the sky."

"Very good, adjutant. Get through to Varn's ground command center. I have an order to issue." After hearing this, Augustus took a few steps and said. Wotan II is an eternal pain in the heart of the Tyranids. The crazy Federation extremists are willing to destroy the entire world to seek revenge on the Empire. But it was this incident that made the empire aware of this terrible old federal black technology.

The ground commander was Colonel Abraham Vahn, known as the Imperial Ram, whose troops were known for their hammer-like offensives.

"We are going to blow up this planet." Augustus said:

"Send them to hell!"
