Kerrigan's expression turned grave as purple psionic energy rapidly converged, a massive amount of lightning coiling around her entire body before she suddenly lunged forward!

The immense power was such that the steel-reinforced road beneath Kerrigan's feet even liquefied!

Her claws, sharp as alloy blades, brought with them countless electric currents as she closed in on Feng Xiao in an instant. The latter's pupils flared with golden light, and Kerrigan, mid-charge, felt a tremendous pressure descend upon her, causing her body to stall instantly.

Before Kerrigan could break free, a spear of Divine Sense, carrying immense force, slammed into her abdomen!

Several carapace fragments shattered and flew off, purple blood sprayed from the corners of Kerrigan's mouth, and her body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through multiple buildings in succession.

Tsk, manifesting objects with Divine Sense still consumes too much mental energy.

Feeling that his mental energy had dropped by forty percent, Feng Xiao felt helpless, though he was not in a rush.

At the very least, before his mental energy hit the bottom threshold, he could definitely render the Queen of Blades incapable of combat; besides, she was unlikely to fight to the death.

Come to think of it, Abathur seemed to be the most monstrous Zerg unit; his biological research capabilities were incredibly strong, and one couldn't rule out the possibility of him researching the Xel'naga if the conditions were right.

For some reason, Feng Xiao suddenly had the urge to recruit Abathur.

In any case, for the Star Sea Human Alliance, soul-transfer technology was not difficult.

He didn't believe that when faced with humans optimized by genetic serums from the Star Sea Alliance, Abathur would still be able to call their genetic level inferior.

It wasn't usually apparent, but even the citizens of the tiny Blue Crystal Federation had overall physical constitutions several times better than those of the Terran Dominion.

His Divine Sense quickly condensed into his right arm, and he raised his hand to easily block Kerrigan's attack once she regained her senses, continuing to ponder the feasibility of the matter.

Truth be told, Abathur was worth recruiting.

Possessing such powerful talent in biotechnology and using it only to improve the combat effectiveness of the Zerg—could there be anything more wasteful than that?

With his Divine Sense, he imprisoned the enraged Kerrigan and casually smashed her into the earth, then summoned two buildings to bury her directly.

Only then did Feng Xiao ask, "Raynor, an hour has passed; how is the progress?"

His Divine Sense quickly captured the voice within the communication channel: "The Raiders have currently pushed to about sixty percent; the mission will be completed soon."

Withdrawing his Divine Sense from the communication network, Feng Xiao looked from afar at the looming, massive Zerg hive, then shifted his gaze back to Kerrigan.

Feng Xiao frowned: "The Queen of Blades shouldn't be so easy for me to kill, right?"

No sooner had he spoken than a violent surge of psionic energy erupted, and dozens of purple lightning bolts, each as thick as an arm, scattered the massive pile of rubble.

The Queen of Blades was shrouded in lightning, with purple electric arcs even appearing in her eyes, and then a massive bolt of lightning struck directly at him.

Feng Xiao narrowed his eyes, his spear bringing with it countless golden mists, and a dull, piercing sound rang out as he met that thick thunderbolt head-on.

A shockwave capable of overturning armored vehicles spread wildly, causing many more buildings to collapse.

Feng Xiao remained motionless, but the Queen of Blades was sent flying backward once again, her tough, resilient body carving a trench into the street.

"The third time. Although the Queen of Blades has great pride and ability, she has suffered three consecutive attacks and is likely heavily injured. Are you not retreating yet?"

Feng Xiao was perfectly calm, silently watching Kerrigan as she slowly stood up.

He wasn't sure if Kerrigan could truly deal with the evil Xel'naga, so the Queen of Blades had to stay alive; for now, he couldn't defeat a Level 6 civilization.

BOOM!

A massive mushroom cloud rose in the distance, and terrifying heat waves and flames raged wildly, destroying all living things and matter within the kill radius.

The Zerg army suffered the same fate; millions of Zerg were buried, and that gargantuan Zerg hive was reduced to ash from a direct hit.

A voice came through the communication channel: "Hahaha, Mr. Feng, we did it!"

A piercing sound suddenly came from beside his ear; the Queen of Blades seemed to have received the news as well and retreated from the planet with clean, decisive movements.

However, the look in her eyes before she left...

She seemed very unconvinced.

The Hyperion.

"Raynor, I may have to leave for a while. If anything important comes up, press the button on this watch."

Looking at the logistics personnel moving equipment and resources into the various warships, Feng Xiao suddenly looked up and said to the beaming Raynor.

He then handed over a watch.

Simple communication across universes for a starship was not difficult.

With the inter-universal anchor point left behind by the Heart of Dawn, he could return at any time.

Raynor was stunned, then nodded.

"Haha, if I encounter danger, I certainly won't be polite."

Feng Xiao was happy with that; according to the plot, Raynor and the Xel'naga-transformed Kerrigan would roam the universe in the future, and he could just recruit them as crew members then.

It was simply delightful.

Not to mention Kerrigan, after Raynor awakened his abilities using the treasure, his combat power likely wouldn't be weak either.

Not long after leaving the Hyperion, Feng Xiao, who was slowly flying through space, vanished in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in the control room of the Star Origin, and looking at the Eternal Sun Wall and Titanium Steel Armor that were still recovering on their own, Feng Xiao felt a bit puzzled.

What is going on?

Could it be that the Protoss fleet is actually that powerful?

After making inquiries, Feng Xiao felt a sense of relief. "I never expected to have severely underestimated the strength of the Protoss. It's fortunate I didn't send you all to hunt the Golden Armada."

They had struggled for quite a while against just over forty ships; if they had encountered the Golden Armada, which consisted of hundreds of warships and motherships, a single concentrated volley would have wiped out the Star Origin.

"Alright, guess what I discovered in the Koprulu Sector?

Several talents capable of serving as crew members!

When we reach the elite-class starship stage, we'll be relying on them to form an assault unit."

Feng Xiao said smugly.

Wang Hao and Ilde exchanged a glance, the former unable to contain himself. "Individual combat talents?"

"There's also a research talent."

Wang Hao shrugged, and Ilde nodded, expressing his anticipation.

There wasn't a single simple character among those their captain took a liking to.

Even they themselves had been amazed after learning of their own talents, completely unable to fathom how Feng Xiao had managed to discern them.

In the end, they could only attribute it to intuition.

After all, they hadn't even been aware of their own gifts.

The Star Origin made a brief stop before activating its jump drive once more, streaking toward the nearest Alliance transportation hub—Moss Starport.

There, they would find the essential basic transportation equipment required by every official Alliance starport: the Spatial Stargate.

It was capable of handling thousands of warships simultaneously and could traverse millions of light-years in mere seconds.

Yes, it was merely basic equipment.

Civilian starliners generally used these stargates for their operations as well, provided the shipping companies paid their annual fees.

Starships and Alliance fleets, however, used them for free.

"The Star Sea Human Alliance is truly formidable. Such terrifying technological equipment is actually just basic infrastructure, and it's even used for civilian purposes?"

After understanding the situation, Wang Hao couldn't help but click his tongue in secret, unable to wrap his head around it.

"The Human Alliance is far more powerful than you imagine. You must realize that the Morton Galaxy is just a peripheral region, akin to a rural town back on Earth Star.

Even the starship fleet of the strongest power in the Morton Galaxy, the Violet Kingdom, probably wouldn't even compare to a fifth-line Alliance unit in the eyes of the Alliance."

Feng Xiao laughed heartily; the strength of the Human Alliance was a great boon to him.

He didn't have to bear any inexplicable pressure, could explore freely, and if he encountered other civilizations in the main universe, he could use the prestige of the Human Alliance to put on a show.

As for oppressing the citizenry... were the tens of millions of laws connected to the supreme civilization's statutes just there for show?

Ten years ago, the corrupt ruler of a large nation had attempted to implement a semi-slavery system and large-scale class oppression out of pure greed.

The entire chain of interests was executed on the spot, broadcast live by the law enforcement starships that had suddenly descended.

That scene was still fresh in his memory.
