Chapter 7: Gift
"I will never let anything I care about leave me again..."
——Taga
"Where am I... Why am I here..." Taga slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw was darkness. "Where is this?" Taga wondered in his heart and slowly raised his hand. He carefully observed his hand and felt some subtle changes in his hand... Taga didn't think much and slowly raised his eyes to look around, but there was only darkness around him... He looked around in confusion, and he looked at this empty darkness in his heart, and he decided to walk around. He slowly raised his feet and walked forward casually...
While he was walking... suddenly three figures appeared in the darkness... These three figures just stood there motionless... But they all exuded different oppression... Taga walked over in confusion, and then Taga put on a puzzled look and carefully observed the three figures. Although the whole body of these figures was blurry, they all had different patterns and different colors on their bodies.
Taga circled around them again and again. From beginning to end, these figures did not move. They just stood there with their arms folded across their chests. The sense of oppression they exuded was different. The one in the middle was gold, the one on the left was blue, and the one on the right was red. The gold figure exuded a gentle power, which was strong but not fierce enough, but made people feel very comfortable. The red figure stood next to the gold. The red figure exuded extremely powerful flesh and blood power, but the sense of oppression given by this power was too strong, and it seemed that it was difficult to control this power... while the blue one exuded a particularly strong power, which was fierce and powerful, as if it was tailor-made for people.
Taga looked at them carefully, with curiosity in his eyes. Suddenly, a voice kept coming from Taga's ears... "Do you want power... I can feel that you... desire power!" This voice was full of richness, as if he was guiding Taga. Taga scratched his head in confusion... Then he slowly raised his palm, and his palm circled between the three figures... Suddenly, it seemed as if someone grabbed Taga's arm, and Taga couldn't control his arm. "If you desire power... Choose me! I will give you supreme power!" At this time, the blue figure slowly opened his arms, from hugging his chest to opening his arms, as if welcoming Taga. The voice of the blue figure kept surrounding Taga's ears, and Taga's mind began to recall the past... From watching his family die because of the lava when he was a child... to meeting Tina... That time was his happiest time... But until the outbreak of the war... The last person he cared about also died... All this was due to his incompetence... It was because he had no power... It was because of his weakness that he couldn't stop all this... If they were stronger... If they were stronger... They wouldn't die... They wouldn't suffer all this...
"I... need power!!!" Taga roared heartbreakingly at this time! His arm seemed to break free from control, and he grabbed the blue figure. "I give you power..." The blue figure slowly said this, then slowly raised his finger and tapped Taga's forehead. At this time, a blue force appeared from the blue figure and slowly rushed into Taga's body through his finger! The energy entered every part of Taga's body in an instant. At this time, Taga's eyes exuded an unusual blue color. Taga covered his chest... and knelt on one knee... He felt the powerful force flowing through every part of his body. This power seemed to shake Taga's soul. Taga's originally dim soul slowly turned blue under the infusion of this huge power! Taga slowly stood up... At this time, the power of lightning overflowed from Taga's body, from his arms, eyes, chest, to his feet. Lightning hovered around Taga like a small snake. Taga slowly raised his arm and looked at the infinite power in his body. The resentment accumulated in his body for a long time turned into infinite power in an instant. Taga slowly raised his head and roared, and the resentment poured out at this moment. The previous pain, helplessness, powerlessness, anger, and unwillingness were all poured out at this moment when Taga gained power.
After venting all the negative emotions, Taga slowly lowered his head, tears bursting out of his eyes... He was sighing... He finally had the ability to protect everything he wanted to protect. Just when he raised his head to look at the three figures, they disappeared... Taga scratched his head in confusion, but he couldn't help but be grateful to them in his heart.
"Taga! Taga!" Suddenly a voice came into Taga's ears. Taga slowly opened his eyes... But what caught his eye was Bain? "Don't sleep, Taga! If you sleep any more, you will become a corpse!" Bain gently patted Taga's face and showed a helpless expression on his face. When Taga was wondering, he suddenly thought of the three figures, and he sat up directly from the bed. He raised his arm and tried to gather strength in his palm... but nothing happened...
"What's wrong with you? Are you stupid?" Bain said helplessly, looking at Taga's unusual appearance in confusion. "It's okay..." Taga waved her hand and then held her forehead... "What time is it now..." Taga asked Bain with her eyes closed... "It's almost noon, I saw you haven't gotten up yet so I came to call you." Bain put his hands on his waist and looked at Taga.
"Get up quickly! The village chief wants us to do something!" Bain was still as enthusiastic as ever, and his voice always made Taga inexplicably cheer up. "Okay... I'll wash up later." Taga shook his head helplessly. Bain turned around and left Taga's residence after seeing Taga reply to him. Taga looked at Bain and said to himself, "So... all this is just a dream... Forget it... Just treat it as a kind of spiritual comfort for yourself!" Taga said in a cheering tone, took a deep breath and got up to wash up. He thought it was good to enjoy the present, which was better than being trapped in the past.
After washing up, Taga opened the door, and the dazzling but warm sunlight bathed Taga's body... The warm sunlight made Taga take a deep breath, and the moist but fresh air entered his nose. Taga looked at the happy atmosphere around him, he smiled, and he suddenly felt that this was also good.
"Taga! Come here!" Bain stood not far away, waving his arms and calling Taga! "Here I come!" Taga began to run slowly... But they didn't know that there were two pairs of eyes watching them. At this time, a Zerg soldier was staring at Taga and the others in the dark... and another pair of eyes was looking at them...
After the Zerg soldier had been monitoring for a while, he stepped back, turned around and flew back to the nest. At this time, the Beetle King, who was sitting on the throne, held his chin, waiting for the soldiers to bring news. Suddenly, the door was knocked, and the Zerg soldier who went to monitor flew into the nest. The soldier knelt on one knee, speaking a language that only the Zerg could understand, as if he was telling his king everything he saw. The Beetle King punched the throne handle heavily, and his face showed obvious anger. He spoke in the Zerg language, as if saying, "These disgusting aliens! They killed my dearest son but still talked and laughed!" Then the Beetle King stood up, his sharp mouth kept moving as if saying, "I declare! A full-scale war will be launched against the aliens the day after tomorrow! If I don't exterminate them! I will not be the strongest existence on this continent!" Then the Beetle King slowly raised his hand, and a servant immediately presented a crystal-like sphere. The beetle king picked up the crystal with his sharp claws and slowly put it into his mouth. Suddenly, a force burst out from the beetle king's body! At this time, a figure slowly left the nest...
It was night...
A familiar figure was sitting on the throne fiddling with a wine glass filled with red wine... "These humans have a really strange taste... It's just wine made from fruit... It doesn't seem to have any feeling..." It was our Distortion who spoke. He slowly raised the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, then put the wine glass on the table and slowly raised his head to look at the sky.
"I really envy these creatures for being able to see such a beautiful moonlight... But I have to be trapped in this damn nothingness..." Distortion said this in a cold and emotionless tone, and the door was knocked. Distortion just knocked on the table as a gesture, and the door was opened... It was a figure outside the Zerg nest, the figure knelt on one knee on the ground and said, "My emperor... I have collected some useful information..." The figure said in a respectful tone. "Speak..." Distortion said in a cold tone, and there was also majesty in his tone, as if he wanted the other party to tell all the information he saw, and if he concealed anything, he would kill him, even if he was absolutely loyal. "Yes... Under my surveillance, I found that the Destiny Man seemed to have walked out of the shadows... He seemed to have become a little different from before... And the Zerg King seemed to have a crystal, which seemed to increase the power of a race..." After the soldier told him everything he saw, Distortion waved his hand to signal the other party to go out. The soldier nodded and slowly retreated.
"Destiny Man... Destiny Man... You are really fast... I thought you still needed some time to comprehend the power of the ancient gods... I still underestimated you..." Distortion slowly stood up from the throne, he slowly walked to the window, he overlooked the entire continent. "But do you think that you can change everything after gaining power? Don't worry... I will let you feel it again... "The fear of falling into the abyss"... Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" At this time, Distortion's voice slowly changed from cold to crazy. He laughed crazily... This laughter eroded the entire universe...
