Chapter 320: #320 - Section 320

The demonic energy emanating from it was more immense than all the surrounding energy combined…

Heras displayed extreme hostility, staring intently at Jiang Wang before him.

Just when Jiang Wang thought Heras had already betrayed him!

It suddenly knelt down before Jiang Wang, raising its scythe to show its loyalty!

And with Heras's kneeling.

Jiang Wang instantly regained connection to all the Zerg!

That sense of control returned once again!

And a large amount of hidden information rapidly assaulted Jiang Wang.

After browsing the information, Jiang Wang walked towards Heras.

"You've worked hard during this time."

Saying that, Jiang Wang patted Heras's scythe, signaling it to rise.

After receiving the hidden information, Jiang Wang already knew why the Zerg had become wary of him.

Although the current Zerg were largely demonized, they had not become pawns of the Abyss, but instead firmly executed Jiang Wang's orders.

But the Abyss's goal was certainly not this; the demon seeds infected by demonic energy should have been receiving instructions from the Abyss, but the Zerg's loyalty to Jiang Wang caused them to resist the Abyss's instructions.

So the Abyss changed its approach.

They would fabricate a 'truth' for the Zerg within their hearts through the Zerg's inner thoughts.

Since the Zerg were only loyal to Jiang Wang and looked forward to Jiang Wang's leadership.

Then the Abyss would create a Jiang Wang in the Zerg's hearts and connections based on their expectations, even disguising a demon seed as Jiang Wang.

This way, they could command the Zerg.

Initially, the Zerg were indeed deceived and mobilized.

But soon, Heras stood out.

As the only high-level Zerg within the Zerg nest, he was not too eroded by the demonic energy under the shroud of fluorescence, so he maintained his sanity.

He warned all the Zerg and fought for the command of 'Jiang Wang'.

As expected.

The Jiang Wang created by the Abyss did not have absolute command over the Zerg.

All the Zerg instantly understood.

Finally, Heras killed that 'fake Jiang Wang'.

And in order to avoid such a situation from happening again, Heras imitated Jiang Wang and became a processor on the Zerg connection.

However, he had self-awareness; he did not stand before the Zerg nest, but behind it.

This way, he could maximize the guarantee that the Zerg would not have problems before Jiang Wang returned, and he could also use the Zerg nest to dilute the demonic energy transmitted by the Zerg.

It could be said that without Heras, the current Zerg might have already been controlled by the Abyss…

But at this moment, Heras requested Jiang Wang to execute him…

Chapter 333: Heras Asks for Death, Jiang Wang's Suspicion.

Looking at Heras, who was resolutely seeking death, Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Why?"

Jiang Wang asked indifferently.

'Great Overlord, although I am for the entire Zerg, I raised my scythe against 'You'…'

Heras's head drooped further.

Jiang Wang understood Heras's meaning.

Although it had successfully prevented the fake Jiang Wang from harming the Zerg.

But it had ultimately questioned Jiang Wang, or rather, resisted the Overlord's authority.

This was absolutely not allowed among the Zerg.

After all, in the Zerg's world, the absence of absolute loyalty is absolute disloyalty.

And Heras not only questioned the fake Jiang Wang, but even killed that fake Jiang Wang.

Although that was a fake, it still represented that Heras had his own thoughts in his heart.

Zerg with their own thoughts are like artificial intelligence.

They have the possibility of betrayal.

Zerg! Do not allow betrayal!

So Heras knew that he had the possibility of betrayal, and when faced with the real Overlord, he chose to have the Overlord erase him.

"You think raising your blade against me is betrayal?"

"Yes! Great Overlord!"

Jiang Wang took a deep look at Heras.

Looking at this Zerg who had accompanied him from the Primordial Realm to the present.

And is currently a warrior-level unit, he felt some emotion.

"You killed a fake Overlord. I'm happy I could not be happier, why should I execute you?"

Jiang Wang certainly wouldn't agree with Heras's thoughts, but he still wanted to test it further.

One was to test whether Heras had been invaded by the Abyss without his knowledge.

The second was to test the level of Heras's current intelligence and logic.

"Because I have the possibility of betrayal. Although I killed a fake Overlord, what if one day, I think you are also a fake Overlord? Then I will influence a group of Zerg, thereby causing some trouble for you and the Zerg."

Heras said everything in detail.

In fact, that was indeed what he thought. When he learned that someone was impersonating Jiang Wang, he was extremely angry because the Overlord could not be desecrated.

So he killed the demon seed with thunderous force.

But he regretted it afterwards.

What if the Abyss had blinded him?!

What if the Abyss blinded all the Zerg, causing them to kill the real Overlord??!

So he panicked, he was afraid.

This fear, amplified by the Abyss, haunted his mind every day…

This also made his demon seed transformation more serious than all the other Zerg!

Listening to Heras's words, Jiang Wang was slightly stunned. At this time, Heras had initially possessed the intellectual level of a normal person, and even had emotions such as regret and fear like humans…

Having intelligence is a good thing. For his warrior-level Zerg, having intelligence allows for further advancement…

But…

It's uncertain whether emotions are good or bad for the Zerg.

Jiang Wang had sensed the Zerg's fearless emotions more than once in large-scale battles. Under such collective emotions, the Zerg could unleash even more powerful combat power.

Such emotions provided positive value to the Zerg.

As for emotions like regret and fear…

Jiang Wang frowned as he looked at Heras kneeling before him, and then looked at the surrounding Zerg…

If…

All these Zerg had such emotions, Jiang Wang could only consider Heras's suggestion…

You might say Jiang Wang is selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless.

But the Zerg must never be dominated by such emotions!

At this moment, Jiang Wang truly felt murderous intent, and Heras and the surrounding Zerg also sensed the Overlord's murderous aura.

But they did not resist in any way, still kneeling on the ground.

Even at this moment around the Zerg nest.

Kaiya and the others were extremely shocked to see the dark mass of Zerg kneeling.

These Zerg frankly accepted any orders given by the Overlord.

Even if it was death.

Countless Zerg knelt on the ground, waiting for Jiang Wang's verdict.

Jiang Wang felt that the Zerg in various parts of the secret realm were waiting at this moment, waiting for his decision.

After a long time.

He took two steps forward and placed his hand on Heras's head.

He wanted to see, to see if these Zerg would really be afraid and betray him.

Immediately, Jiang Wang used the Overlord's power to fabricate a dream for all the Zerg.

In this dream, the former fake Jiang Wang became the real Jiang Wang.

He wanted to see if the Zerg would really betray or kill him in the various scenarios he set up.

This wasn't Jiang Wang being too cautious.

Because if this demonized Zerg army entered the Zerg swarm, then the power of the Abyss was likely to spread.

If, under the influence of the Abyss, he became the 'fake Jiang Wang' in the eyes of these Zerg, then he might die tragically at the hands of the Zerg…
