EROS [Zerg]

“Eros,” Kirkland said, “Although we were classmates, I won’t interfere with your choices, but I still hope you can love yourself a little more.”

“Thank you.” Eros nodded to Kirkland. “I’ve decided to go and replace them. I won’t change anything.”

As he said this, Eros looked up and spoke to Neferoli on the screen: "I'll go in exchange. Now I demand that you immediately stop any acts of torture and killing of prisoners."

"Tell us, how many prisoners do you have?"

"Don't try any tricks. You need to understand that I can back out at any time."

After saying that, Eros turned off the light screen and turned to the female soldiers inside the aircraft: "Please give me a gun and a knife."

"Here you go." Pike looked at the thin female insect in front of him and handed his sidearm and knife to Eros without hesitation.

"Thank you very much." Eros accepted the gifts and bowed to Pike.

The aircraft slowly descended, and Eros jumped off when it was still two meters above the ground.

After activating the gravity control on the spaceship, Eros's feet finally touched the ground.

The space pirates' ship gradually descended from afar. Eros held the gun he had gotten from Pike to the corner of his eye and walked step by step toward the space pirates' ship.

The space pirate's spaceship was not large, less than half the size of a passenger ship. Its rusty hull resembled a dilapidated house covered in patches, and a "crackling" friction sound came from the rusty metal doors.

A group of armed space pirates ran out of the constantly shaking metal door, their guns all pointed at Eros.

"Hehehe...! We meet again, you little purple-eyed bug!"

Eros looked up and saw a familiar face.

To be fair, this face left a deeper impression on him than any insect he had ever seen before.

A face that is 75 percent mechanical; just one glance at it would give him the hallucination of unbearable pain.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Philippe is a mechanical insect, but he also has a body with a quarter of flesh to prove that he was once a female insect made of flesh and blood.

"Where are the prisoners?" Eros confronted Felipe. "I'm already here, but I want to see those twelve insects board the Imperial Army's aircraft."

"Otherwise, I will destroy these eyes that you want."

“Twelve?” Philippe frowned, his expressionless metallic face contrasting sharply with his distorted, fleshy face. “There are clearly only eleven.”

"And those insectoids you tortured in your video, even if they're dead, give them back to me. They belong to the Empire."

Eros gripped the gun tightly in his left claw, the muzzle leaving a red mark on the skin at the corner of his eye: "Release the bugs immediately!"

"Tsk, the Empire's hypocrisy." Felipe rolled her eyes, giving Eros a huge glare, but still looked warily at the gun in Eros's left hand.

It's very expensive for Neferoli to support his pirate crew; any damage to the eyes on Eros's head would cost them a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Felipe waved his paw at a space pirate standing behind him, and soon the space pirate behind him brought out a group of tied-up female insects from the spaceship behind him.

Eros watched the insects being brought out warily. Fortunately, he recognized them all from the passenger ship. Although he couldn't rule out the possibility that there might be space pirate spies among them, he was confident that Kirkland and his men would find them.

At least one insect that truly needed help was saved by him, and even just one proves that he was useful.

Thinking of this, Eros calmly raised the corners of his mouth, watching the female insects in front of him walk past him towards the safe area.

Eros looked at their gazes, which held confusion, fear, surprise, astonishment, gratitude, and worry.

He smiled at the insects with a sense of relief:

"If possible, please convey to Major Ener of the Fourth Interstellar Legion that I have always been very brave."

"Don't worry, we definitely will." One of the female insects poked its head out, its tone solemn.

"Thank you very much," Eros said, watching them board the spacecraft before turning to face the space pirates.

“Now, you can come and take what you want.” Eros moved the gun away from his head.

The space pirates quickly surrounded him, removed the guns from his hands, and forced him onto their spaceship.

Eros struggled briefly but failed to resist and was pushed and dragged into the pirate crew's spaceship.

"Let me go, I can walk on my own!"

“You should have some self-awareness as a captive!” Philippe pinched Eros’s face and brought it close to his eyes: “I have to say, you have a handsome yet annoying face.”

After hearing this, Eros chuckled and looked at Felipe defiantly: "Are you afraid of him?"

Upon hearing the word "him," Eros, seeing the twisted expression on Philippe's face, was certain that this space pirate had been dealt with by Evanson.

“Trash,” Eros continued to provoke.

Sure enough, the next second a heavy iron fist slammed into his face, and before he could recover, a series of heavy blows fell on him.

Eros heard a crisp "crack" sound, and soon, the taste of blood filled his mouth, as if a bone in his face had cracked. But he didn't care and pretended to be enraged as he forcefully broke free from the grasp of the space pirates behind him.

"Put the suppressor on him and bring him over." Felipe looked at Eros, who was being suppressed by his subordinates, and felt that the female insect in front of him was overestimating herself. However, being able to ravage this female insect, who looked exactly like Lieutenant General Evanson of the Empire, would also give the insect a very good experience.

"roll!"

Eros was grabbed by the neck and forced to wear a suppressor by a group of armed space pirates. He immediately felt a distinct blockage in his chest, as if a huge stone was pressing down on him, and even breathing became painful.

“Now you can raise your fist.” Felipe looked at Eros, who had been pushed to the ground at her feet, with a look of satisfaction on her face. She stepped on Eros’s face and felt the slight cracking of the bones beneath his face.

“I could have given you a quick death, but who told you to look exactly like that damn lieutenant general?” Philippe lifted Eros’s cheek.

"He's so keen on protecting that bunch of lowly, disgusting worms, to be the empire's lackeys, and you two look so alike."

"It's a pity he died too young. You'll have to suffer this in his place."

"How laughable! You were all his defeated foe too, weren't you? Maybe you were beaten to a pulp by Lieutenant General Evanson and are still barely clinging to life?" Eros, ignoring the fact that he had broken several teeth and his mouth was full of blood, mocked, "If he's called the Empire's lackey, what are you trash compared to him?"

"court death!"

Enraged, Philippe raised his metal foot and kicked Eros hard in the stomach. He used all his strength, and Eros felt a blackout before his eyes and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

As Filipo's foot rose into the air again, Eros gritted his broken teeth and rammed straight into that foot. The sound of bones colliding with metal made his ears ring, and blood immediately gushed from his left eye where he was hit.

Eros felt that he could only see strange, multicolored circles in his left eye. Then he stretched out his paw and waved it in front of his eyes. After confirming that he could not see them, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

But the expression only lasted a few seconds before erupting into violent, maniacal laughter:

"Ha! Hahaha! Hahahaha...!!"

Eros tried to cover his mouth, but after several attempts he found he couldn't. Pain and excitement stimulated every nerve in his body, causing him to burst into wild, ecstatic laughter.

"What are you laughing at?!" Emporio thought Eros was in pain, and the smile on her face had just appeared when she realized something was wrong.

"Hahaha, ha." Eros knelt on the ground and laughed for a while, then pointed a claw at his obviously swollen left eye: "Congratulations, you kicked away more than 16 million star coins... no, I'm more expensive, hahaha...!!"

Emporio's face turned ashen upon hearing Eros's words: "You! You're asking for death!"

“I never thought about living… Ah, ahhh!” Eros was about to retort when he saw Philippe pick up the controller of the suppressor on his neck and turn the punishment to the maximum.

A violent electric current coursed through the female insect's entire body, causing it to convulse and only able to whimper.

Filibao was so angry with Eros that she was about to unleash all the punishments on him from the controller when Neferoli's voice came from behind her, stopping her:

"Enough, Philippe, stop."
