Please wait for me…

[Xiao Feng!!!]

[Pei Changyun‌‍‍‌‍​⁠​‌⁠‍‌⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​⁠⁠​​​ agreed to be my consul!!!]

Not long ago, Huo Chao had proudly boasted to Huo Xianfeng with a big smile that he had finally succeeded in convincing Pei Changyun.

At the time, Huo Xianfeng felt a sense of relief because he no longer had to hear Huo Chao’s daily updates about his progress in pursuing Pei Changyun.

But…

[So, this is what you meant by ‘convincing’?]

Huo Xianfeng fully understood human society by now and knew what stealing a kiss meant.

—Pei Changyun likes Huo Chao.

Tsk.

This idiot is really gifted, resorting to seduction to achieve his goals.

Huo Xianfeng’s mood was very complicated.

He hated and despised Huo Chao at first, but later, due to their subtle connection, he developed a sense of pity for the young, crying Huo Chao. Because the way Huo Chao looked at him, the closeness and admiration he showed, was very much like that of a larva.

Moreover, as Huo Chao grew, his reliance on Huo Xianfeng became increasingly evident. This gave Huo Xianfeng the illusion of being a king, a father, a brother, and a friend.

In short, this guy was annoying but also impossible to get rid of.

So, when Huo Xianfeng suddenly realized that Huo Chao had entered the courtship phase, he felt extremely… indescribable.

Huo Chao lay on the ground, pretending to sleep and not daring to move. Maybe because he had been pretending for so long in the Illusory God Church, he managed not to give himself away in this situation.

[No, it’s not—!!!]

Huo Chao could clearly feel that Pei Changyun was stealing a kiss from him. He pretended to be asleep on the surface, but his heart was already exploding. He was at a loss and could only subconsciously seek help from Huo Xianfeng, just like he always did whenever he encountered an unsolvable problem—

[I followed the normal steps from the online guide…]

Then Huo Xianfeng roughly listened to Huo Chao’s explanation of the online guide.

The summary was—

[In only six months, make the world’s coldest, most ruthless person fall head over heels for you, being devoted and loyal to you until death!]

[…]

Using a wife-chasing guide from the Star Network to pursue his future trusted consul, and chasing him desperately for over half a year—only Huo Chao could pull off something this stupid.

Huo Xianfeng once again gave his most ruthless ridicule.

[Do you have eyes, Huo Chao?]

[…]

No, I didn’t see it. QAQ

Huo Chao had been too focused on the overly clickbait title at the beginning.

[Then… what do I do now?]

After the shock, Huo Chao was almost in tears.

[Xiao Feng, help me! Save me!]

Since childhood, in Huo Chao’s eyes, his cold Zerg friend was practically omnipotent. Opponents that Huo Chao couldn’t beat, Huo Xianfeng could easily defeat with just a few moves. As long as Huo Chao obediently followed his advice, he would soon triumph over his adversaries.

Of course this didn’t apply only to combat but also to many other things, like how to establish the majesty of the Son of God.

In fact, Huo Chao’s personality had never changed; he remained as soft and kind-hearted as he was when he was little, sincere and tolerant, with a very strong sense of morality. As long as his bottom line wasn’t touched, he would forgive even the most egregious offenses as long as he received his apologies.

But as time passed, the more Huo Chao understood Huo Xianfeng, the more he began to understand from a human perspective why there would be a being so fervently revered and loved by an entire race, even to the point of sacrificing their own lives.

Apart from Huo Xianfeng, it was the first time Huo Chao had chased after someone for so long. After all, no matter how good-tempered Huo Chao was, he was still raised as the Illusory God Church’s Son of God, and his inherent pride was still there. Almost everyone in the Church was respectful and obedient to him.

[L-L-like????]

Simpleton Huo Chao had never considered it from that perspective.

[If you don’t like him, tell him clearly as soon as possible.]

He had no interest in human love affairs, and moreover, he was too weak now to pay attention to such things. So, after saying that, he cut off contact with Huo Chao.

What happened between Huo Chao and Pei Changyun afterwards, Huo Xianfeng wasn’t sure, but it seemed like they maintained a normal superior-subordinate relationship. So normal that… it was as if that cautious stolen kiss under the rising sun was just a fleeting, gentle dream.

Huo Xianfeng knew very little about what happened next because he often fell into deep slumbers.

He only vaguely remembered that when Huo Chao became the Commander of the Alliance at 29, he himself was still in the larval stage.

However, he no longer retained the humanoid form of a high-level Zerg, as his degeneration had reached nearly 90%. His golden vertical pupils had turned into compound eyes, his soft skin was covered by a metallic Zerg exoskeleton, and his body was grotesquely twisted.

Even his mind was no longer clear…

[Huo Chao, your plan failed, and so our agreement ends here.]

Huo Chao and Huo Xianfeng had agreed that if Huo Chao’s plan succeeded, Huo Xianfeng’s final revenge would only target those humans who had specifically harmed him. If it failed, the Zergs’ revenge would annihilate the entire human race from the universe!

Before losing consciousness, Huo Xianfeng remembered Huo Chao visiting him one last time.

At that time, Huo Chao was 29 years old.

He was the youngest Commander of the Alliance, known as the strongest human, admired and revered by countless people.

Huo Chao was no longer the naive and foolish boy he once was. Dressed in a dignified military uniform and bearing the insignia of the Alliance Commander, he exuded the aura of a superior.

The only unnatural aspect was that he was covered in blood, with black and gold Holy Stigmatas nearly covering his entire face, making him look bizarre and terrifying.

—Like a Shura God who had fought his way out of Hell.

That was the appearance Huo Chao hated the most. He hated blood, hated killing, and hated the feeling of taking others’ lives.

But on that day, the blood on Huo Chao’s body came from many people.

[Wait for me, Xiao Feng…]

The Alliance Commander, revered by countless people, knelt before him, crying helplessly like a child, pleading in his most humble and timid voice,

[Please wait for me… wait for me… wait for me…]

[Please…]

It’s no use…

It’s too late… too late, Huo Chao…

But the fallen Zerg King had no way to tell him these words.

Huo Xianfeng couldn’t wait any longer.

—He couldn’t wait for Huo Chao.

Because the degeneration of the Zerg was irreversible.

He would soon become a terrifying monster, dying in the most shameful and painful way.

And the Zergs’ frenzied revenge was coming soon.

So Huo Chao…

Run away—

If all humanity is destined to perish with the King, then you must be the only survivor.

Because Huo Chao was allowed to connect to the Zerg’s spiritual network and was granted protection.

As a close friend recognized by the King himself.
