Zerg: I am the real white moonlight in the Zerg
Chapter 70 The so-called insect transformation
In a hidden corner, a female insect was having a secret conversation.
"Christine Missai, my descendant, is this how you talk to your elders?!" Jeremy harshly rebuked the young bug for his rudeness.
"Elder?" Christine sneered. "No elder in any family would send their own children to die. Eighteen years ago, you killed my female father in order to find the so-called king. Now you are back to seek my protection."
"For my mother's sake, I have done my best by not reporting you to the Imperial Star Guards!"
"Christine, are you resenting me?"
Jeremy softened his tone, "It's okay. I will take on your hatred. Someone must come out of Messiah to take on the ancient responsibility. It's either me or you."
"I just hope your hatred won't affect our king."
"That's your king, not mine!"
Christine said sarcastically: "You are really loyal, my respected female grandfather."
"But who can sympathize with me who had to support the entire family at the age of fifteen?"
"Christine..."
Christine turned off the communication directly, and on the way back she ran into Bai Meng and Paten who were walking out of the banquet hall.
Christine: “…”
Christian ignored the two bugs and walked into the venue. His upbringing ingrained in his bones prevented him from saying anything vicious to Bai Meng, who looked about the same age as he was at the time, but he would definitely not look her in the eye.
"Sir, that bug seems to be on Herman's list."
"Indeed." Bai Meng nodded.
Bai Meng and Paten dodged the bugs at the banquet and only stopped after 001 reported on Bai Meng's invisible earphones that there were no other bugs around.
The next moment, Bai Meng couldn't help but bend over and start retching.
Patten patted his back carefully and asked, "Is it true that the genes of the king worm are so strongly opposed to the Windsor worm?"
"It's not just this reason, Paten, did you see the way he looked at me?"
Paten helped Bai Meng sit down on the swing in the garden: "See, very...kind?"
"Oh, who knows what he thinks of me."
Bai Meng took out a bottle of water from the space button and drank it. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go. Tell Herman, we're going back."
"Now?" Paten was a little surprised: "Sir, the banquet has just begun."
"The sooner we return, the sooner we can try to contact Admiral Jonil and the others."
Bai Meng reached out and pulled Paten up: "I guess you must be very anxious now."
Paten felt increasingly helpless about Bai Meng's sharpness: "I am indeed a little worried, but not too worried. I believe in the strength of the admiral and his men. Since the admiral did not give me a warning, there is still room for things to turn around."
"It's just that His Majesty, who worries me, has already set his sights on the Third Legion."
"And the Military Association."
"Military Association?" Bai Meng slowly tilted his head and asked a question mark.
Paten smiled and straightened Bai Meng's head: "Come on, sir, I will go back and explain to you."
Inside the manor, Case and Holtz were trying to connect the nanomachine worms to the nerves of the imitated parts of the female worm.
"Are you sure you won't say a word?"
Jonathan couldn't stand the atmosphere between the two insects, so he ran to watch Scott go to class.
"..."
Keith sighed and started the conversation: "What is Jonathan researching here?"
"Insect body mechanical weapons, Islay's mechanical arm is his masterpiece."
Holtz followed him down the stairs naturally: "Originally he was supposed to stay at Riel's place, but the young master comes here more often, so he followed him here too."
"As a research bug, you are quite capable."
"We have each other."
"Aren't you worried at all?" Case asked.
"Beelsifa Windsor is not an easy male insect to deal with. As long as he sees you, he can smell your scent in an instant."
"The Sith family will not stop any decision you make, but if you are in danger, we will not be afraid to sacrifice our lives."
Keith did not agree with this almost blind answer: "There is a piece of news you should know. An elder has arrived at the Imperial Star."
"And he completely contradicts your idea. The death of 1534 female insects is the answer."
"If you are sure that you stand with us, then don't let the death of those female insects be placed on you, understand, professor?"
"I see," Case said, changing the subject. "When you found Scott, he was still conscious, right?"
"Yeah, we were all surprised," Holtz told Case about the situation as he stared at the nanoworms and brain nerve connections.
"Logically, a 95% insect-like being should have turned into an irrational monster, but he was clearly consciously trying to drive us away."
The Zerg have very strict grading of Zergification, with 1% to 25% being mild. At this stage, the riot in the spiritual sea is still under control, and the body only undergoes mild mutations.
Once it exceeds 25%, it becomes a threatening factor that must be eliminated in the eyes of the Imperial Guards. Mental suppressants become ineffective, and the individual must be comforted by a high-level male insect to barely stay awake.
Female insects that have transformed more than 60% into insects cannot stay awake no matter what. Their minds have been completely deprived of the wildness, their spiritual seas have collapsed, their mental strength has dissipated, and most of their bodies have mutated and become more aggressive.
Not to mention that Scott could hardly make out the shape of a bug at the time. If it weren't for the young lord's quick eyes and hands to stop them from shooting, the grass on the grave would be two meters high by now.
"Those are just the boundaries set by the Empire. What are the results of your research?"
"For those below moderate severity, our special medicine is enough to maintain the stability of the spiritual sea and delay the body's mutation. However, this time Jin Qi and Jin Da were an accident. I will personally comfort them psychologically later."
“But above the severe level, there are still many uncertainties.”
Holtz explained: "For example, Abel needs the help of your mental strength to stay awake. As for Scott, it should have been done a long time ago."
Keith closed his eyes in pain: "Thank you for not giving up on him."
"You're welcome. That was your decision, young lord. But we still haven't found the limit of the mental chaos that causes physical mutation."
"You can pacify a severely insect-infected bug before you reach adulthood?"
"Your Excellency has already reached S-rank after your first evolution."
Holtz pulled up a form from his computer and gave Case a copy.
"But in the past six months, we have also found some... patterns. Rather than insect transformation, it is more like reversion. As we all know, reversion is regarded as evolution in the Zerg. It also means that the bloodline of this female Zerg is strong enough."
"However, the probability of worm transformation in reverted females is much higher than that in non-reverted females. The proportion of high-grade worms is higher than that of low-grade worms. The proportion of old worms is higher than that of young worms. And almost no immature female worms have transformed into worms."
"Just like Harris said, since ancient female insects can also use mental power, then perhaps the atavism of female insects is not only reflected in the body."
"You mean, because it couldn't bear the expanding spiritual power, it caused the spiritual sea to collapse, and the normal atavism evolution was distorted into a mutated insect transformation."
"And the insect transformation of the body has aggravated the mental disorder to a certain extent. The two affect each other until both the mind and the body have completely turned into a beast."
"But this is all just speculation on our part."
Holtz controlled the nanorobot to perform some simple movements, and after confirming that everything was normal, he continued, "At least Abel's dream of seeing the ancestors has proved one point."
"Female insects' mental turmoil only occurs after they reach adulthood."
Holtz couldn't help but sigh: "In fact, until now, in addition to stabilizing their mental strength, we have not developed a drug that can reverse their physical mutations."
"Scott's awakening is a major breakthrough, but that's all. If he can't change his form, he will never be able to live a normal life. Once his spiritual sea is stimulated, he is likely to lose control again."
"That's enough, Mr. Holtz," Keith cooperated with Holtz to recover all the robot bugs. "That's enough. I will always be with Scott, just like raising a younger brother again."
Holtz was silent for a while, then said, "You, Hermann, and Asgard should have a lot in common."
“But it’s different.”
"What's the difference?"
"We believe that beating is love and scolding is care."
"The Sith family... is really tough."
