No matter what Theresa saw, she knew there was only one thing that was unavoidable.
She had to go to war with her brother.
Since the civil war began, the final battle between the girl and her brother has been inevitable.
The devil put down the little guy in her hand.
Theresis came out alone, without letting his men come forward.
“Gah!”
The purple little guys lowered their bodies and made attacking gestures.
Obviously they sensed the threat posed by the humanoid life form.
The corpses of other Zerglings were also scattered on the battlefield.
Walking to the center of the battlefield between the Regent's team and the Babel Tower's team, Theresis thrust the greatsword in his hand into the ground, as if inviting them to a duel.
He said nothing, just looked at his sister quietly.
"Your Highness."
Ascalon gripped her weapon tightly.
Now is the best opportunity.
If they just rush forward together, they can definitely severely injure or even kill Theresis.
"No need, Ascalon."
Theresa shook her head.
The Demon Girl also walked out of her team.
"Kal'tsit, Doctor, I leave the team I brought to you."
She said so.
"Um."
The white-haired Feline nodded.
The purple little guys did not follow the woman marked with the Domination mark.
They shrank to Kal'tsit's side.
But the doctor picked up the little guy with some curiosity.
Theresis said these guys are part of the so-called endless insect swarm.
She doesn't understand.
Since waking up, Miss Doctor has been in Kazdel—
And as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a... calm face.
Kal'tsit woke her up through some unknown means and pulled her to Theresa's side.
"Doctor sister, do you know what it is?"
The petite Cautus girl looked at the little purple creature in her arms with sparkling eyes.
"have no idea."
The Doctor shook her head.
She had never experienced an endless tide of insects.
It's just that Kal'tsit showed her some records.
But the bug in the image looks nothing like the purple little guy.
"What a cute little guy!"
Amiya carefully crouched down and approached the little guy.
Then the little purple guy stuck out his tongue and licked her face.
"It's so itchy, hehe..."
The Cautus girl couldn't help laughing as she was licked.
But in the eyes of the Regent's soldiers -
It was like a hideous insect licking a piece of food that was barely enough to fill its stomach.
The scene was extremely terrifying.
"Theresa, do you really not know what you are dealing with?"
Theresis glanced at the petite Cautus girl.
Based on the intelligence collected——
They were Cautusus people rescued from Rim Billiton by Theresa's people.
I don't see anything special about it.
But the creature in front of her was very special—
It was part of an endless swarm of insects, a horrible monster that devoured countless lives.
One, two, three...
No creature can face the impact of the endless swarm of insects alone.
Bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless.
Here is a description of these bugs.
"Theresis, what did you see?"
The Demon Girl asked her own question.
"...I saw a lot of bugs mixed in with your team."
The people at the Tower of Babel were completely unaware of this.
They did not feel any tension or worry when facing the horrible insects so close to them.
Some people even started to touch the insects.
Are these bugs' cognitive modification abilities too powerful?
Even... the Demon King cannot avoid it.
But he was strangely not affected.
The Regent didn't know what the rules were that affected the bugs' cognitive abilities.
But he was also glad that he was not contaminated——
This can also try to prevent the spread of disasters.
“…”
Theresa was unable to respond.
Her expression was a little confused.
What I saw were cute little guys——
But what Theresis saw were bugs.
What he was talking about must be the insects that made up the endless swarm of insects.
The Demon Girl shook her head.
Even if these little guys are bugs in the eyes of others——
At least it didn't hurt her and her people, right?
Under the influence of some force, Theresa put aside her doubts.
Moreover, she had a slight sense of closeness to these little guys, as if they would not hurt her.
It was as if the Demon Girl had become one of them.
"I cannot understand your words, Theresis."
Theresa gave her response.
"In my eyes, they are not scary bugs."
The demon king stared at her brother.
"...You have been contaminated by these bugs, Theresa."
After the demons were defeated by the insects, their ability to influence cognition was also taken away.
These bugs are such scary creatures.
Theresis came to this conclusion.
And it is irreversible pollution.
Even though he had pointed out the true nature of these insects——
The Demon Girl's thoughts have not changed.
No matter how despicable the means, even if it means losing one's own life——
Theresis also wants to kill his own relatives here.
The regent could not predict what kind of terrible disaster a Sarkaz Demon King contaminated by insects would bring to Kazdel and Terra.
Perhaps he shouldn't have sent that team at that time, then the door to disaster would not have been opened.
But it was too late.
It has already happened.
“Theresis, even if they are those creatures, perhaps they also bring us a new possibility.”
The endless swarm of insects cannot be stopped, but what if the Sarkaz themselves become part of the endless swarm of insects?
There is an old saying in Yan - if you can't beat them, join them.
The words may be rough, but the truth is there.
Theresa said so.
“…”
The pollution has reached irreversible levels.
Theresa actually tried to blend in with those bugs—
In the past history, no force and no individual has succeeded.
These bugs simply eat anything that comes near.
Including their own kind who are controlled.
The greatsword in his hand gathered strength, and then Theresis launched a surprise attack in an instant.
Even if I have to abandon my honor and ignore blood ties, I will kill Theresa here!
The Sarkaz cannot be led into destruction by her!
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Ascalon's eyes widened.
Theresis actually launched a sneak attack!
The battle between the two Sarkaz heroes should have been filled with honor.
This is the choice of Theresa and Theresis.
Both teams chose to support their leaders.
After all, this is a duel between two of the six Sarkaz heroes.
They shouldn't interfere.
result--
Theresis launched a sneak attack without honor.
Despicable guy!
“…”
Theresa narrowly avoided the greatsword’s attack.
She opened her eyes slightly.
After all, the Demon Girl did not expect that her blood relative would choose to launch a sneak attack.
In her impression——
Theresis has always disdained sneak attacks.
This was true both before and after the breakup.
A trickle of blood flowed from the wound on her cheek.
The black Originium technique turned into sharp threads, instantly covering the Demon King's body and tightly binding the attacking sword.
“…”
Theresa stroked her slightly stinging cheek.
She got serious.
This is a battle of life and death——
Only one of the two heroes can survive.
Theresis's sneak attack had silently announced this.
The attack just now was aimed at chopping off her head.
The Demon Girl felt sad.
The difference in ideas eventually forced her to fight a life-and-death battle with her own blood relatives.
But she quickly suppressed her sadness deep in her heart.
I can't just fall down like this.
The people of Babel Tower are still following her, hoping to build Kazdel into their dream city with her.
“Bang!”
The black thread was broken, and Theresis quickly launched a pursuit.
Now is the best opportunity——
The Demon King was lured out in the name of an honor duel, making it impossible for her to get immediate support from the Tower of Babel personnel.
And he has already used secret codes to order the Sarkaz warlocks to begin releasing the Sarkaz witchcraft——
That is the research result of the pardoners, specifically targeting the Demon King.
The Sarkaz Demon King who was contaminated by insects must die here.
The Sarkaz war hero had a determined look in his eyes.
This ending was not in his plan either.
But Theresis had to do it.
The demon king infected by insects will bring about the end of Sarkaz and Kazdel.
Even though his ideas differed from Theresa's, everything Theresis did was still for Sarkaz and Kazdel.
The sharp blade and the silk thread kept clashing.
The battle between the brother and sister became intense in an instant.
And at this moment, in the Regent’s team—
An ordinary-looking Sarkaz watched this scene with some interest.
After all, he had never seen such a scene in his long life.
Two Sarkaz war heroes are locked in a deadly battle, and they are blood-related siblings.
One of them is the Demon King of Sarkaz.
It is indeed a good choice to send an avatar to infiltrate the team this time.
Maybe I can do something in it?
He thought so.
Maybe this can help Him find some new ideas?
However, compared to the two Sarkaz who were fighting to the death, He was more interested in those bugs.
He had tried to touch those worms.
But every time a clone was sent out, it was directly devoured by insects.
Even if you transform perfectly into the appearance of a bug, those bugs will still regard you as an enemy and attack you.
He didn't know the reason.
Those bugs were existences in his long life that he could not understand.
What is the survival form of insects?
How do they recognize their own clones?
The last time he was identified was when he came into contact with Seaborn.
The Seaborn have a unified group consciousness, so no matter how perfectly the clones that cannot integrate into the group consciousness are transformed, they will still be attacked by the Seaborn.
So are these insects also ruled by a collective consciousness, so they can distinguish His clones?
He doesn't know.
The place where these insects landed has been successfully entered by my clones.
Then we lost contact.
So He still knew nothing about these worms.
And at this moment, he saw these bugs again in Kazdel.
The Demon King's forces seem to get along well with them.
Could it be that these insects viewed the people in the Tower of Babel as a food reserve?
But in any case, it is a major new discovery.
After all, insects in the past had no concept of storing food.
It’s a pity that the clone who sneaked into the Tower of Babel is not in this team.
Otherwise, he could let his clone get in close contact with the insects whose behavior patterns had changed.
He thought so.
Compared to the endless swarms of insects seen in the past, the number of these insects is still too small—
But it was also an opportunity, a chance to try to catch a bug for study.
But it's not easy to do this in public.
So, we have to make the situation chaotic?
He thought as he transformed into a Sarkaz crossbowman.
Although the Sarkaz warlocks who reported directly to the Regent did not seem to be doing anything, their hidden witchcraft was still noticed by Him.
The demon king was too distracted by the battle to notice the small movements of the warlocks.
The people at the Tower of Babel across the street didn't notice it either.
Apparently Theresis had other plans.
Then He could definitely help Theresis a little.
He adjusted the crossbow in his hand, and then modified it slightly with his own Originium skills.
It can't pose any threat to the two Sarkaz heroes, but it can still fire the first shot in the war.
Feeling the obscure fluctuations of witchcraft, his long life allowed him to roughly guess what the operation status of witchcraft was like—
When the sorcery was on the verge of activation, He pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
The crossbow arrow was shot out silently, without even making any sound.
But its shape cannot be obscured.
Everyone saw the crossbow arrow being shot out.
And the Sarkaz witchcraft that was activated shortly afterwards.
"!"
Theresa's body lost control for a brief moment.
The crossbow arrow hit her—
It seemed to have its own life, and unexpectedly bypassed the obstruction of the black silk thread and shot the body of the demon king.
The wound was insignificant, but the other wound seemed very fatal.
“…”
Theresis held his sword tightly.
It was not known who shot the crossbow arrow, but it certainly distracted Theresa's attention, causing her to be affected by the Sarkaz witchcraft.
The results of the Pardoners' research on the Demon King were applied at this moment, and the Sarkaz witchcraft temporarily deprived the Demon King of her ability to move.
Time is short——
But it was enough for Theresis.
It's despicable and has no honor at all.
But it is a necessary measure for him.
The demon king who was contaminated by insects must fall here.
“Theresa…”
Theresis looked into his sister's eyes.
There was no hatred or anger in those eyes.
There is only surprise and sadness.
The blade pierced through the demon king's heart, ensuring that no life was left.
"…Rest in peace."
Killing the demon king is just the beginning.
"Theresis..."
The light in the demon girl's eyes gradually faded.
The hand was slightly raised, and finally fell down weakly.
