"Everything is a conspiracy of Wurm!"
Diwen stared at Gu Lian fiercely and revealed his "evil" identity to the world, "Gu Lian is a subworm that I picked up from the N5 planet. He controls the mutated bug in order to destroy it." Empire, take revenge on the Zerg!"
【Worm】
This group, which had long been forgotten in the annals of the Zerg race, once again appeared in the minds of the bugs, and the senior males in the spectator seats looked horrified.
"Impossible!" Almost instantly, a male worm denied it out of control.
"The worms have long been extinct!"
How could such a terrifying group survive in Zerg society?
It is obvious that more than a hundred years ago, the last worm was exiled to the stars to fend for itself. No matter how long the life of the Zerg is, Gu Lian cannot be the descendant of that sub-worm.
The swarm is in chaos.
The judge even shouted "Quiet" several times to no avail.
He was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he subconsciously looked down at the suspected culprit of the subworm. I saw the male insect's eyes were cold and unhurried. It's as if you're aloof from the incident, standing tall in the hustle and bustle with overwhelming momentum.
No wonder, he is SS level.
Only the males in the sub-worm community could have such a terrifying level of spiritual energy.
"If you don't believe me, you can go test Gu Lian's genetic level." Diwen no longer cares about his guilt in adopting the subworm, he just wants to make Gu Lian die a bad death!
Gu Lian had only tested his energy level once as an adult, which meant that he had only tested his genetic level once, and that time was also concealed by Devin.
The useless Wuworm was just an abandoned child, but they didn't expect that when it could be used, it would threaten their interests.
"This old fool dares to say anything!" On one side of the spectators' seats, the nobleman who looked after Amanke looked at Devin and cursed in a low voice, while James stared at Gu Lian with an unpredictable expression.
All eyes of horror and resentment fell on Gu Lian.
[Worm? ] Gu Lian sneered coldly in his heart.
He took out the system that had been pretending to be dead for a long time and said, [You didn't tell me that there was such a setting. 】
The system was stunned, and there was more that his host didn't know. If he knew everything, then the entire world structure would be turned upside down by him.
[…None of this matters, your purpose is always to push the protagonist forward. 】
Listen to the system yelling haha, Gu
He blocked it again.
He turned his eyes to Devin and smiled sarcastically, "Since I am the insect that you are so afraid of. As the insect that adopted me, I have always known my details, but I have never reported it to the military or the insect emperor."
His tone was casual, and he only emphasized the word "Insect King" slightly when he said it. Then, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Insect King sitting upright in the spectator seats.
"I am Wurm."
Gu Lian looked at Diwen and asked, "So your Howard family colluded with me, a subworm, without telling the entire empire?"
"You, you..." Devin looked at the Insect King's increasingly ugly face, panicking and hating, "You spit out insects! Your Majesty will not believe you!"
The Insect King's expression said everything. Gu Lian disdained to talk to Diwen, a stupid insect, and looked away indifferently.
"Your Majesty, what this insect knows best is to confuse right and wrong." Although Diwen was furious, he still retained some confidence in his heart when facing the Insect King.
As long as Howard is still there, Amanke is still there, and the entire noble alliance is still there, the Insect King will not dare to take action against them easily.
"Your Majesty." The marshal shook the Insect Emperor's hand with concern.
The Insect King shook off his hand and cursed, "Useless military female!"
The marshal's expression dimmed. He knew that the Insect Emperor wanted the military to check and balance the nobles. But as a male insect, the insect emperor looked down on military females. Therefore, whenever there was a dispute between the military and the nobles, the Insect Emperor would choose to side with the nobles.
The marshal looked calm and turned his head to order the adjutant beside him, "Ask Judge Ashour to maintain order in the court and complete the trial. Then ask Nolin to transfer a team of military females to prevent chaos."
The adjutant nodded and followed the marshal's instructions.
Five minutes later, the situation finally came under control.
The judge looked at the verdict approved by the Insect Emperor and couldn't help but move his Adam's apple. After a while, he loudly announced the verdict:
"The jury unanimously ruled that the defendant Gu Lian was not guilty of intentional murder."
"Release in court!"
Devin on the prosecution table was shocked and looked at the Insect King in disbelief.
what does that mean?
Which side does the Insect King stand on in this game controlled by multiple forces?
No one could guess it, and Gu Lian didn't bother to guess it either. This result was within his expectation. No matter the military or the nobles, in this situation of internal and external troubles, no one would dare to take action against an SS-level male insect who couldn't figure out his trump card.
Even if the other party is a worm.
Until the end of the trial, Devin had not yet recovered. Waiting to regain consciousness completely, the Insect King was ready to leave. Devin quickly rushed forward and shouted to the Insect King to stop him.
"Your Majesty, how can you let Gu Lian go! He controls the mutated insects to kill innocent people indiscriminately in an attempt to destroy the Zerg race!"
The Insect King was already impatient and stared at Devin sternly, "Who is behind the mutated bugs? I will naturally figure it out."
"But Deavan Howard." He narrowed his eyes and suppressed his anger, "What are your intentions in letting the subworm reappear without telling the empire! I will still settle the score with you for such a big lie!"
Only then did Diwen realize that he had really offended the Insect King. He quickly knelt down and cried out, "I adopted him because I saw him pitifully. It was clear that the grade was C before, but who knew that it would suddenly change?" Became SS level?"
The Insect King resisted the urge to kick the stupid insect out of his eyes, and sneered, "You really killed your son."
"You, a handsome man, did not die in vain. You can also have a long memory and always estimate how many heads you have."
Devin, who was kneeling on the ground, was covered in cold sweat, "Yes...yes."
"Divin." The Insect King bent down and suddenly smiled, "Why are you so anxious? Under the empire, what opportunities are there?"
A family may be difficult to eradicate, but exploiting a depleted bug is much easier.
After he finished speaking, he left with his personal guards.
Outside the court gate, Xio led the military women to maintain order. When the door opened, he saw the Insect King and all the insects coming out. Xiu stepped forward to salute, and the Insect King glanced over.
He asked casually, "Didn't you go in to hear the trial?"
Xio lowered his head and answered impartially, "We need to protect your safety."
This answer pleased the Insect King, and a sense of superiority arose in his heart as he looked at the military female who lowered her head.
"Aren't you curious about the result?" The Insect King stared at Xio.
Xio was indeed curious about the result. He was not only curious but also worried. But he didn't understand why the Insect Emperor wanted to talk to him deliberately, especially now because all the Insect Emperor's insect eyes were focused on him.
Xio frowned slightly as she speculated on his intentions.
Answer truthfully, "Curious."
"Acquitted." The light words escaped from the Insect Emperor's mouth, making Xiu startled.
He was in a daze when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a hand with wrinkled skin reaching towards his stomach. Xio frowned fiercely and looked up at the Insect King.
Those were also black eyes, but not as mysterious and deep as Gu Lian's.
Unfathomable. There was dirty desire and obvious arrogance in the eyes of the Insect King.
Xiu took a step back and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, your hands will be dirty."
Although his military posture was obedient and standard, the Insect King still did not miss the sharpness in his ice blue eyes that could not be concealed at that moment.
"Response very quickly. Female insects during pregnancy should be like this." The Insect King retracted his hand and smiled with interest.
"Your Majesty, the airship team has arrived." The marshal's brows jumped wildly.
The Insect King has a disgusting habit, and all the insects around him know it.
Male insects are more or less sadistic, but the insect king is particularly perverted. He likes to torture/treat pregnant females, especially military females that are upright and unyielding. One of the Marshal's eggs was aborted because of this.
"Your Majesty, we should go." The marshal reminded again.
"Amilo, you are always so boring." The Insect King glanced at the Marshal and retracted his hand.
It wasn't until the Insect Emperor got on the airship that Xio slowly loosened his sweaty fists.
He turned around to find Gu Lian, who was going through the formalities. After entering the pupil pattern, he looked up and saw Xio coming over.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Gu Lian asked, looking at Xiu who looked unhappy.
Hugh paused and shook his head, "No."
"Master Xiong, we have found a new residence. Let's go back and clean up the dust for you." After saying this, he was afraid that he would make any arbitrary decisions. Xio put it on the tip of her tongue and added, "...Do you need it?"
The insect looked anxious and expectant. The water in the ice blue eyes was rippling, teasing Gu Lian's figure again and again.
Gu Lian stared at him for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "Go home."
Xiu didn't even hear the word "go home" clearly. He stared blankly at Gu Lian, lost in the smile on the corner of his lips. There was no sarcasm or ridicule in the arc. Xio once thought he was dazzled.
The hero smiled at him?
His heart slowed down, and he couldn't even confirm that the corners of Gu Lian's lips had flattened.
"Master, you..." He looked for words, "Smiled?"
Gu Lian neither denied nor admitted, saying "Follow me" and walked out of the hall.
Outside the court, the admiral was waiting.
"Congratulations on clearing your name." The admiral smiled and looked at Gu Lian, "In order to protect your safety, I will send a pair of military females to guard you and your family."
Gu Lian sneered, "Just don't hold us back."
The pair of military females were a little embarrassed to be held back by being disliked, but the SS-level male was telling the truth.
The admiral is quite familiar with Gu Lian's temper.
, he looked at Xio again and added, "It's also good for Xio and you guys."
Gu Lian didn't say anything anymore, so he acquiesced.
"One more thing." The general smiled happily and extended his hand to Gu Lian, "Your Excellency Gu Lian, welcome to officially join the Second Army."
The two insects looked at each other.
After a while, "No need."
Gu Lian glanced at him, then ignored his hand and walked towards the airship.
It was not embarrassing for the general to be ignored. Gu Lian was already a bug in the Second Legion anyway. So he smiled and told Xio, "Remember to remind your hero to report on time."
"That's right, Hugh." Before leaving, the admiral suddenly turned around.
Looking at Xio frowning, he asked, "The Insect Emperor isn't targeting you, is he?"
