The Ultimate Evolution

Within five seconds of the warning, a close-up of the Queen of Blades appeared on the big screen.

She was currently standing on an Ultralisk that was charging forward fiercely. The Ultralisk was only an ordinary Ultralisk, but under the support of the Queen, it was even more ferocious than an elite Ultralisk and hungrier than a loser. Every swing of its sickle-like forelimbs would bring down several Zealots!

The facial features of the Queen of Blades actually carried some eastern grace, but her slightly high cheekbones added a touch of western dignity to her look. There were burn scars on her hairline, which stood out in sharp contrast with the smooth, delicate skin of her cheeks.

Of course, something that must be mentioned when describing the Queen of Blades was her unique snake-hair. If you were to evaluate the hair by itself, it was no doubt a horrible thing – thick, slippery and squirming like worms.

However, together with the Queen’s delicate facial features and her amazing figure, it gave the queen an exotic seductiveness. This feeling would ferment, take root and sprout in the deepest corner of one’s heart. Like a forbidden relationship, it was something that was publicly denounced, but during the darkest of nights, it would surface in the form of sinful desires.

Another feature of the Queen that stood out was undoubtedly the skeletal wings on her back. The wings gave off a feeling of being extremely sharp, extremely nimble and extremely dangerous. The Queen did not need to flap her wings to fly. She could float in the air by adjusting the gravity crystal inside her body to manipulate the magnetic force around her.

The Queen of Blades was currently looking up at a globe of light more than a hundred meters away from her.

Her expression was a mix of ambition, greed and faith; complicated yet vivid.

If her intel was correct, within the light was the oldest and most mysterious treasure in the universe, the highest mystery of the Protoss – the Keystone.

Legend had it that this treasure was left behind by the creator of the Protoss, and it contained an unimaginable power!!

The Queen had no doubt that it was true, because she could feel that power right now.

The power was calm, gentle, and deep, like the sea.

It was constantly calling out to her, stimulating her every nerve and cell.

The only thing in the Queen’s mind right now was to take possession of the power, to take possession of the divine treasure! For that, she would do whatever it took!

The Queen’s emotions were plainly manifested on her face, as shown on the screen.

***

This was actually the first time Sheyan was taking a good look at the Queen of Blades.

The last few times he had seen her, he had been completely overwhelmed by her terrifying and majestic presence. All he could think of then were her identity, her status, her splendour and her strength.

It was just like if one saw the former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. Whenever she appeared in public, few people would pay attention to what colour of lipstick she had on, or whether she had pretty eyes, or what perfume she was wearing. They would be focusing on every word that came out of her mouth.

That was power. That was the grandeur of power.

Therefore, one could imagine that whenever the Queen of Blades appeared before someone, especially someone who was on the opposing side, the first thing they would consider would not be anything related to women, but…simply survival.

It was that simple. It was a matter of course.

But this time, with a 1.5-metre-thick high carbon manganese steel armour protecting Sheyan, and through the lense of the high-resolution “Dragonfly” camera, he naturally felt no psychological pressure.

Due to some of the things that he had done before when he was put under great psychological burden by the Queen of Blades, Sheyan was even feeling a little rebellious at the moment. After carrying out a series of analysis in his mind and finishing all the serious matters, Sheyan started having some evil and disrespectful thoughts of the Queen.

For example, he suddenly found the Queen’s breasts very shapely, like newly-matured pears that were still slightly green. Their teardrop shape made him painfully aware of the emptiness in his hands, giving rise to an impulse to grab something.

For example, he suddenly found the contour of the Queen’s face very beautiful. Her lips were a little thick, but it was said that this was a sign of strong sex drive. They must feel good when they were kissed.

For example, he suddenly found the Queen’s skin colour very appealing. It was a healthy tan like those possessed by Latin American women, wild and exotic, giving rise to a desire in him to conquer her.

For example, he suddenly found the Queen’s figure very alluring. Her waist was slim, but her buttocks were full. Such a strong visual contrast would make the slim part appear slimmer and the full part appear fuller. It was a very pleasing sight.

The beauty of the Queen of Blades was not only based on these, but also contained in the explosive power in her body. It seemed like every move she made, she would burst out with great power! Such a wild feeling truly would cause one to have the desire to grasp something soft and bouncy and knead it hard to feel its amazing elasticity.

“Don’t get too close. Maintain the current distance,” Sheyan instructed Pontin.

Pontin hesitated for a moment, but immediately did as Sheyan ordered.

Aldaris was puzzled. “But if we keep ourselves at this distance, we won’t be able to compete at all!”

Sheyan’s eyes narrowed. “If…this really is a trap of the Protoss, then this distance is just right.”

“You actually believe what Old A said?” asked Aldaris in surprise.

“I’m just believing in myself. All the signs show that this is indeed one big trap,” replied Sheyan.

“But if it’s not a trap, we won’t have any chance at all from here!” protested Aldaris.

Sheyan grinned. “Even if this isn’t a trap, will we really have a chance if we get close? Under the watchful eyes of the Protoss and the Queen of Blades – oh, and that woman called Artemis as well, who hasn’t shown herself yet – our chances of seizing the Keystone is close to zero. I’m afraid we’ll only have a real chance if we wait until both sides have tired each other out.”

Aldaris looked like he had more to say, but he could find no other arguments. At this time, a device in Pontin’s hand suddenly beeped. Sheyan could see that the progress bar on it had reached 100%.

Pontin seemed overjoyed. He told Sheyan, “Good news, Brigadier General! All the data of the Monster of Calamity has been recorded in the computer and has passed the computer’s standard 3D modeling. Every specification, every scale, has been tested by actual combat and is now standardised! This has far-reaching significance!”

“And…? I need you to give me a more intuitive summary,” said Sheyan with a smile.

“This means, as long as there are sufficient resources, we just need to input this data into any SCV engineering computer of elite-rank and above, and they will be able to build the Monster of Calamity the same way they construct other buildings! Of course, the Monster of Calamity they build may not be as strong as this bad boy here, but they should be able to achieve about 70% of its combat capabilities! I, Pontin, have personally laid down the foundation to create this incomparably powerful weapon of war. My name shall be forever engraved in the Empire’s history, because I shall also name this powerful creature the Pontin Beast!”

(TL: Excellent naming sense, Pontin.)

Pontin was so excited that he did not make sense anymore. Sheyan patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

“Congratulations.”

After keying in the data of the Pontin Beast into the computer, Pontin then connected to the database in the headquarters. The database’s automatic evaluation system immediately slapped a top secret logo on it, and a large warning appeared on the screen in glaring red font. The minimum level of clearance to read the information was immediately set.

From the other end of the computer, hundreds of evaluators of the main database could be seen bustling about with much fuss. Fierce and excited roars could be heard all around. The environment instantly became chaotic.

After a while, a Lieutenant General of the Empire appeared on the screen. He saluted Pontin.

“You’re a hero of the Empire!”

He had indeed made an enormous contribution. In the human’s interstellar conquest, ground warfare had always been a major problem they were facing. They could defend just fine, but offensively, they were severely lacking. This machine Pontin had developed could be said to have filled the biggest gap in the Empire’s current arsenal of war weapons!

Sheyan also obtained the following notification:

[ You have helped the SUV Pontin become an important figure in the Empire. Your have gained 10 achievement points. ]

While Pontin was still lost in excitement, Ronnie suddenly interrupted.

“Boss! The battle is coming to a conclusion! ”

Sheyan instantly turned around and caught sight of the Queen of Blades showing off her might on the screen. Although her Ultralisk mount had been blasted into bloody pieces, she had jumped onto a Mutalisk that had the best mobility among the Zerg and dashed into the interior of a heavily wounded heroic Carrier. Dozens of seconds later, the Carrier started to fall despite roaring in protest. It crashed to the ground and exploded.

More importantly, there were no more obstacles in front of the Queen of Blades. The core of the whole city, the mysterious Keystone, was right in front of her!

The Mutalisk hissed and soared high into the air, then furiously flew towards the giant rhombus crystal! But for some reason, it looked to Sheyan like a moth darting into flame.
