Revolutionary Army

"It's alright, Nova. No matter what happens, we'll always be here for you." Zebediah knelt down and hugged Nova tightly, tears mixed with blood streaming down his face like droplets in a vacuum.

Out of concern for Nova's safety, her parents never tested her potential Psionics level, or the Ghost operative's PSI index.

Nova had not received any mind control or mind braking training from the Ghost Program, which aimed to enhance Psionics control abilities. And it was clear that a 10-year-old girl could not control a level 10 psychic power.

One of the three known Level 10 Psionics among the Terrans to date, possessing world-destroying abilities.

Nova is currently in an extremely unstable state; the Psionics power gathered within her is enough to wipe out half of the life in the Terra Sky Tower. Once Nova completely loses control, she will unleash a terrifying Psionic Storm centered on herself, resembling a small, humanoid nuclear bomb.

At this moment, Nova's overflowing Psionics power raged like a storm in the vast underground hangar of the Terra Sky Tower. Everyone around her was crushed to the ground as if by gravity, and even the Hybrid monster that had torn nearly a hundred people apart was unable to move.

Zebediah, who was closest to Nova, was undoubtedly under immense pressure. Her clothes were soaked with her own blood, and she was in danger of being torn to shreds by her sister's powerful Psionics energy at any moment.

"Nova!" As blood seeped from under Zebediah's fingernails, he was already in a daze, and childhood memories replayed in his mind like faded film.

Nova Terra was an unusual child from a young age. She could always find the other children quickly in hide-and-seek or defeat her opponents effortlessly in Game. Later, Nova realized that not everyone was like her, born with the ability to read other people's minds.

Therefore, Nova was obviously seen as an oddity by those around her. Although they didn't say it, Nova, with her telepathic abilities, could read their thoughts.

People are always afraid of things they don't understand.

In Zebediah's mind, Nova was no different from any other child.

"Brother." As the molten gold light in Nova's eyes slowly faded, Zebediah's face was reflected in her eyes, almost a younger and more handsome Constantine Terra.

"I'm dying, stop it!" Despite blood gushing from Zebediah's scalp, he felt a great sense of relief after seeing Nova regain her senses.

Seeing Zebediah's miserable state, Nova suddenly realized what was happening, and the heavy pressure from her inner power vanished.

"Did I do this? What have I done?" Nova was utterly horrified by what she had done, her vision blurred by blood.

"That's not your fault," Zebediah simply said. "You just can't control that innate power yet. You're just suffering too much."

After Nova regained consciousness, Zebediah and the other Terra Family guards and servants were able to stand up and move freely again. Of course, this included the immobilized Hybrid.

"How is this possible? Mere humans. I am an Ascended Being, I have ascended, I am the Blade of Gods." The Hybrid opened its blood-red eyes, like headlights, and the tentacles on its back spread across the ground like snakes. It was roaring in extreme rage, and its terrifying roar shattered all the fragile glass items in the underground hangar.

"I am one of the best in the Chain of Ascension, ascending by the grace of God, the first to reach this divinely created body and the strongest among them. I endured countless trials and tribulations to be reborn. A human? A human!"

This Hybrid's genes are clearly more Zerg than Zerg. He may have been a Taldarim Ascended, but his Psionics didn't improve much after the modifications. It's understandable Protoss he would be suppressed by Nova's Psionics, since there's probably no fourth human Psionics like him.

"Sander, go start the spaceship." Zebediah staggered as he stood up, his bones and muscles throbbing with pain. Even so, he pushed Nova toward the butler who had served Constantine for many years.

"Take her away! I'm counting on you for Nova."

Zebediah simply raised his head, his hair, soaked with sweat and blood, hanging down to obscure his grey-green eyes:

"Who wants to stay with me and stop this monster?"

At this moment, all the Terra Family security personnel, family guards, and armed servants gathered in the hangar. There were about two hundred of them, some of whom were wearing Power Armor and heavy weapons such as heavy railguns. They were not entirely powerless against a terrifying Hybrid.

"It's time to repay the Terra Family's kindness!" shouted Fernando, a servant beside him, immediately eliciting a chorus of agreement from the crowd.

When faced with such a distorted and bizarre creature, fear will involuntarily arise in the human heart. This mental suppression is especially effective in instilling fear in species with fragile minds.

But even at this critical moment, apart from a few who were completely terrified, no one backed down.

"Mr. Sander, take the young master with you too, we'll handle things here," Fernando shouted.

"As long as Constantine's descendants still exist, the Terra Family will continue to exist, and our family will still be protected." He told Zebediah, "You are the heir of the Terra Family, the son of Constantine and Annabella, and you should not die an ordinary and mundane death in such a place."

"Let me go!" Several servants lifted the blood-covered Zebediah and ran back, while the rest began firing at the approaching Hybrid.

In an instant, the entire underground hangar was filled with smoke, as a large number of electromagnetic weapons, railguns, and Avenger missiles rising from the ground were all fired at the Hybrid.

"Protect young master Zebe." Sander, though thin, managed to carry Nova, who had fallen into a deep sleep from grief and terror, while also pulling the distraught Terra Family, Clara, as they ran.

Ahead was a hangar that was being opened, containing three Galaxy Jumper that were ready to go, with several crew members standing on the gangway below.

These Galaxy Jumper are not the cheap models commonly found on the market. Their outer shells are smooth and rounded like whale skin, and their Warp Drive are capable of supporting long-duration faster-than-light travel. The Galaxy Jumper can activate their Warp Drive within the atmosphere to complete short jumps, and the technology and manufacturing processes they use are among the most advanced in the human world.

These ships are maintained by servants of the Terra Family, who are professionally trained to ensure they can quickly take off and evacuate Tarsonis if necessary.

The spacecraft's nose was raised high, shimmering with the cool blue light of its liquid nitrogen cooling system. Above it was the track, which was being activated and connected directly to the ground, its lights gradually lighting up and casting large shadows on the ground.

"Hurry up, how long are you going to dawdle?" one of the crew members kept urging, his legs trembling just hearing the Hybrid's roar.

Even from hundreds of yards away, the Hybrid's malicious roar could be heard. It was breaking through the human defenses with unstoppable force, crushing their skulls as easily as Giant. Only heavy weapons capable of shaking the Ultralisk could penetrate its thick and dense carapace.

When Zebediah was hoisted onto one of the Galaxy Jumper and shoved into his seat, all his strength was truly drained. The pain of losing his father, the hatred of his own powerlessness, and the agony of knowing that he could only survive by the sacrifice of others all rushed over Zebediah in an instant.

His two sisters were strapped to their seats with seatbelts. Clara was numb and speechless, only weeping. Just a day ago, she was a high-ranking noblewoman, but now she felt as if she had lost everything. As for Nova, perhaps fainting and not having to face the tragedy before her eyes was actually a good thing for her.

As the Galaxy Jumper entered the launch tunnel leading directly to the surface, Zebediah could still hear the wailing and screams of the Hybrid as it went on a killing spree, seemingly devoid of its senses.

It seems that the monster's mind is not very clear, and it is prone to falling into a berserk state, as if a twisted mind has been put into an overly powerful body.

Did UED even know what kind of monsters they released in Tarsonis?

The Galaxy Jumper activated with only a slight hum, its flight as fast as a point of light, the bright blue thrusters scorching the marble floor below as it propelled the entire spaceship into the sky.

Leaping out of orbit and landing on the ground seemed to happen in an instant. The Galaxy Jumper continued to ascend, and by the time Zebediah reacted, it was already thousands of feet above the capital city of Tarsonis.

The once-prosperous city was completely abandoned at its feet. The fallen orbital defense platform and the wreckage of the warship ignited Tarsonis, causing a raging fire in the city.

The towering skyscrapers, like withered straw, were burning in the flames of war, and whole sections of glass curtain walls were shattered with a roar, falling from hundreds of feet like deadly ice crystals.

The great Tarsonis is burning. Just as Augustus Mengsk, the Avenger who once gave the Confederacy such profound memories, did four years ago.

It seems that more than just the few ships belonging to the Terra Family are taking off; all the nobles and wealthy people want to escape Tarsonis as much as possible.

The sky had become a battlefield between the Confederacy Air Force and the UED invaders. Rows of fighter jets roared past below the Galaxy Jumper, their pilots paying no attention to locking onto and shooting down civilian ships.

Zebediah could also see the striking, majestic spire of the Terra Sky Tower through the porthole; the place he once called home had been completely reduced to a slaughterhouse for monsters.

The people he knew shed their blood here, and they will never wake up again.

"Warp coordinates locked again: Terran Confederacy territory, system containing planet LV-555 (the planet featured in StarCraft Monthly Comic #0). Operator confirms for the second time."

The pilot of this Galaxy Jumper was indeed a former Confederacy Air Force ace. He skillfully outmaneuvered multiple Confederacy fighters and anti-aircraft gun emplacements, and decisively activated the warp drive as he gained altitude.

The moment Zebediah held his breath, Tarsonis was instantly left behind. At the same time, Zebediah, now relaxed, finally fell asleep.

When Zebediah awoke again, eighteen hours had passed. He was lying in a cramped medical chamber used by the Galaxy Jumper, the anesthetic taking effect.

"Young Master Zebedia, we are on our way to planet LV-555. The Terra Family owns a continent on that planet." The butler Sander, was standing beside them, while Nova sat next to her, fast asleep and holding Zebediah's hand.

"All three Galaxy Jumper have safely taken off and left Tarsonis."

At this moment, the Galaxy Jumper had already left the subspace travel channel, preparing for a longer-distance jump. Outside the window stretched the boundless Milky Way and dazzling stars, and a huge gas giant was rotating far away, while the size of the Galaxy Jumper was even smaller than a small asteroid on its rings.

"The Terra Family has multiple accounts at the Umojan National Bank, and only family members can open them. With this money, you can get through the difficult years before the end of the war at LV-555."

"When will this war end? It will eventually spread to LV-555." Zebediah's light cough made Nova open her eyes, and she was too guilty to say anything.

"Don't worry, I won't die," he said, looking at Nova.

"Then we'll go to the territory of Umojan." The steward had clearly already planned the escape route.

"How long can we keep running?" Zebediah retorted.

"The head of this family is dead, and you are the future Heir. Reclaim the glory of the Terra Family, and then avenge your father. That is what you should do, Zebediah Terra." Sander thought Zebediah was still having second thoughts.

"The revival of the Terra Family rests entirely on your shoulders."

"Once I've settled Clara and Nova in, I'll join the Korhal Revolutionary Army," Zebediah said, making a startling statement. "All of the Terra Family's wealth will be used to support Augustus's Revolutionary Army, as long as they can help me fight against the Earthlings."

"Those damned monsters, those abominable freaks, I will wipe them out!"

It's easy to imagine that if the Terran Confederacy is severely damaged, the United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Fleet's next target will be the Korhal Revolutionary Army, which will seize many Confederacy planets amidst the chaos. Unless Augustus Mengsk succumbs to the tyranny of Earthlings, a war between the two sides is inevitable.

Based on Zebediah's understanding of Augustus, the latter was certainly not the kind of person who would willingly submit to others.

"This is your choice," the butler said only. "Hopefully Miss Clara won't have any objections, as she should also have a share of the inheritance."

"Brother." Nova's voice made Zebediah feel that all the pain he had endured was worthwhile. When they were little, they were always arguing, and hearing "brother" was not an easy thing.

"Mom isn't dead yet."
