The Zerg Emperor

Pain, heart-wrenching, soul-shattering pain...

In the midst of endless darkness, Ye Luo had no idea how long he had been drifting. A year? A decade? A century? Since he regained consciousness, the infinite darkness had been tormenting him, devouring his soul!

He struggled, struggling incessantly... Finally, at the edge of the endless darkness, a light suddenly flickered!

Ye Luo thought it was a portal that would lead him out. However, as he drew closer, he was shocked to see that the light was actually a massive galaxy, similar to the Milky Way!

Immediately after, as if the galaxy had sensed him, it suddenly slammed toward him with immense force!

"My Emperor, welcome back!"

The call made Ye Luo jolt awake!

With a gasp, he sat up abruptly. However, the lush, towering trees surrounding him made his eyes widen... Before he lost consciousness, he had been playing League of Legends at his computer. He had been tired and rested his head on the desk for a moment. How could he have ended up here in just a few minutes?

"My Emperor, it was the Heart of the Zerg that sensed your soul and summoned you here!" Suddenly, a voice of profound reverence from behind made Ye Luo break into a cold sweat. He turned around to see a massive man looking at him. The man was at least two meters tall, with a square face and thick, sword-like brows that gave him a heroic air! Yet, at this moment, his face was filled with intense excitement and reverence.

"My Emperor? You call me My Emperor?" Ye Luo caught the key term in the man's words.

The man knelt on one knee and bowed his head. "My Emperor, from this day forth, you are the sole Overmind of the Zerg. Whether the Zerg can revitalize our race and return to the pinnacle of the universe rests entirely in your hands!"

Ye Luo raised an eyebrow. This scenario was common in novels... Transmigration! But he had clearly been playing League of Legends; even if he transmigrated, he shouldn't have ended up with some Zerg... Zerg? A flash of insight crossed Ye Luo's mind. Years ago, a globally popular competitive game had kept countless hot-blooded youths in smoky internet cafes, shouting, "Expand to the secondary mineral patch, expand to the secondary mineral patch..." Could it be that his golden finger for this transmigration was this Zerg race?

Damn it, that's not right. Since when did the Zerg have such handsome humans? And the Zerg only ever had Queens; he had never heard of an Emperor!

As if sensing Ye Luo's thoughts, the man slowly raised his head. "My Emperor, it seems you drifted in the void for too long during the summoning, and you did not receive the Zerg's inherited memories. My Emperor, may I have your permission to activate your memory inheritance?"

Memory inheritance... It sounded quite high-end...

Ye Luo nodded. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since he had transmigrated, he had to figure out what was going on. Of course, the most important thing was to know where his advantages lay...

The man stood up, raised his right hand gently, and tapped Ye Luo between his brows!

"Hum..." Ye Luo heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and his entire being plunged into endless darkness!

This time, the darkness vanished in a flash. Immediately after, he saw the galaxy from the darkness again, and this incredibly vast galaxy belonged to a top-tier civilization in the universe: the Zerg!

However, war broke out instantly. The Protoss and Terrans attacked simultaneously from both flanks of the galaxy, and countless starships jumped in from distant star systems...

A massive civilization collapsed just like that... And as the Zerg homeworld was destroyed, a streak of black light shot outward... Then... Ye Luo saw that streak of light traverse endless space and land on a bewildered young man resting by his computer desk on a blue planet...

At this moment, a wave of realization rose in Ye Luo's heart!

The Zerg were a super-race that existed for a very long time in the universe, utilizing the consumption of superior genes to analyze and utilize them for their own optimization! From the inherited memories of past generations, he learned that the Zerg were originally created by a mysterious and powerful civilization as a tool for war, but they were accidentally lost and became a race of their own. However, because they were once tools of war, the Zerg valued efficiency and obedience!

Zerg units did not need thoughts other than those for combat, such as human selfishness, greed, or lust... All they possessed was absolute obedience and a deep, loving loyalty to the Overmind.

At the same time, to assist the Overmind, each unit could choose nine combat units to be granted intelligence: three for combat, three for research, and three for command! All other Zerg had no souls whatsoever! They were like the extensions of the Overmind's own arms...

Ye Luo was the new Overmind of the Zerg. However, because the original Zerg civilization had been destroyed, Ye Luo had to start from scratch. As he continued to expand his territory and absorb crystal minerals, he would be able to unlock Zerg technology and restore the glory of the Zerg!

And the one standing before Ye Luo was a combat hero among the Larva!

"You... are a Larva hero?" Ye Luo opened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

The man nodded respectfully.

"Then... your human form?"

The man looked proud. "Our Zerg genes allow us to change our appearance at will. Turning into a human was only to help you accept me better, My Emperor!"

Ye Luo nodded in understanding. He looked around; the massive trees were over twenty meters tall—the kind that could only exist in primeval forests on Earth. "By the way, do you have a name?"

"My Emperor, I was also born only recently and do not have a name yet. If you could bestow one upon me, it would be my greatest honor!" the man said with immense excitement.

Ye Luo raised an eyebrow, placed his right hand on his chin, and rubbed his non-existent beard. "Then from today on, you shall be called Ye You!"

"Thank you for the name, My Emperor. From this day forward, my name is Ye You!" Ye You said, deeply moved.

Uh... Ye Luo wanted to correct him, saying he meant "Ye You" (Have) not "Ye You" (Again), but he decided against it. Naming was never his strong suit; Ye You it was...

"Awoooo..." Just then, as if attracted by Ye You's roar, a shrill wolf howl suddenly echoed from the nearby jungle!

Hearing this howl, Ye Luo was not afraid; instead, he was filled with excitement! "Ye You, the time has come for me to witness your power. Go, slaughter that wild wolf for me!"

"Swish, swish..." In the blink of an eye, three wild wolves the size of calves appeared in their line of sight!

Such massive bodies would definitely be considered supernatural on Earth! And those green, glowing eyes were filled with suspicion and warning!

That's right, the emotions in the wolves' eyes were clearly readable. It wasn't some special ability of Ye Luo's, but rather that these wolves were far too human-like!!!

"Go, Ye You!" Ye Luo waved his right hand, shouting with great ambition!

The three wolves were startled and fixed their gaze on Ye You, standing their ground.

However...

The scene Ye Luo imagined—Ye You leaping forward, blade flashing, and instantly killing the three wolves—did not happen.

Ye You, this two-meter-tall, square-faced, incredibly resolute and brave man, actually slowly shuffled behind Ye Luo.

The muscles on Ye Luo's face twitched. "You, what are you doing?"

Ye You looked at him as if it were only natural. "My Emperor, I currently possess no attack power, so I am no match for them. My Emperor, you are the supreme Overmind of the Zerg; please grant your most loyal subordinate protection!"

"Awoooo..." The three wolves looked up and howled at the sky. From that sound, Ye Luo could clearly hear the sound of wild laughter...

"Damn it! You can't fight, and I can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands—what am I supposed to do?" Ye Luo suddenly felt like crying. Wasn't he the Zerg Emperor? Where was his army? He needed protection!

The thought "Protect him!" flashed through Ye Luo's mind, and suddenly, he felt his heart give a fierce, incredibly powerful thud!

Immediately after!

"Clang!" A suit of black battle armor suddenly radiated from the surface of his body. Ye Luo, who had just been wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, was instantly encased in black armor! Black breastplate, black helmet, black pauldrons, black metal-like battle skirt, black greaves, black gauntlets, black boots...

As the black armor appeared, a surging power awakened from within his body. In an instant, Ye Luo felt as if he could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth!

"Clang! Clang!" It wasn't over yet. After the armor completely enveloped Ye Luo, three blades over a foot long suddenly radiated from his wrists. The sharp, icy gleam of the blades was chilling under the sunlight, and at his elbows, knees, and the front and back of his boots, ten-centimeter sword-like spikes extended outward!

Ye Luo looked happily at his Wolverine-like weapons, the corners of his mouth slowly curling upward. "Ye You, is your boss handsome or what?"

"Handsome! Handsome enough to drop crumbs!" Ye You said with utmost sincerity.

"Haha, come on then! This time, let your boss protect you!" The armor and the power in his muscles gave Ye Luo immense confidence. He moved his feet and instantly transformed into a blur!

"Awoooo!" Ye Luo's transformation made the three wild wolves extremely wary, and seeing his movement, they simultaneously opened their maws!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Three cyan wind blades soared through the air like three sharp arrows!

Ye Luo was shocked. Damn it, what kind of beasts are these? Being able to spit wind blades—aren't these Magic Wolf?

Ye Luo wanted to dodge. With the speed boost from his boots, he was confident he could evade them, but Ye You was standing right behind him!

"Come on, let me taste how strong you are!" He should have shouted "Let you taste how strong I am!" but after arriving in this other world and taking on a lackey who couldn't help, he had to protect him instead, which left Ye Luo feeling incredibly depressed. However, depression aside, Ye Luo cautiously crossed his claws in front of his chest. This black armor looked imposing, but he had no idea how much damage it could actually withstand. After all, he, this emperor, had only just transmigrated here...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The three wind blades slammed fiercely into his blades!

Ye Luo felt as if three gentle breezes had blown past him!

The blades pierced through the wind blades just like a steel knife slicing through tofu...

"Awoooo!" Uh, that sound had come from Ye Luo!

"Little wolf cubs, you're finished!" The power of the armor far exceeded Ye Luo's expectations. Ye Luo let out a roar, his body leaping into the air. His sharp claws tore through space, and the three Magic Wolf fell to the ground instantly!

After finishing this, Ye Luo made a dashing fist-clench, and the blades on his wrists, elbows, and knees vanished instantly. He gripped his fist tightly. "Other world, I have arrived. I, Ye Luo, the new generation of Zerg Emperor, shall unify this entire planet, then charge out of the galaxy and conquer the universe!"
