EROS [Zerg]

Evanson Eastland held two black chips in his hand and placed one of them into a somewhat old diary.

……

Kowe stared coldly at the female insect approaching from the opposite side: "If you don't come back soon, I'll send an insect to bring you back."

“Father, your words truly surprise me.” Evanson Eastland sneered, “I’ve returned not only to cooperate with your experiments, but also to bring you a gift.”

“A gift?” Kowe looked at Evanson Eastland with disdain. “Pleading won’t do me any good.”

Evanson Eastland took out the black chip he had brought: "This is a gift for you."

"what?"

"Part of Evanson's memories."

Kowe looked at Evanson Eastland with a cold expression. "What did you do?"

"Nothing much, just an attempt to extract my own memories. The inspiration for this came from the micrometer-scale chip you invented, Father, that can connect to neural networks." Evanson Eastland looked at the body lying in the solution:

"I will store my mental energy, which allows me to access my memories, in this micron-sized chip. Once this chip is implanted into this body, the body will possess my memories."

Kuwait retorted bluntly: "Doing this kind of useless work will make you look very stupid."

“How could it be a waste of time?” Evanson Eastland laughed as he walked around behind Kowe, as if he had just ripped off a mask that had been covering his mouth and nose. “Father, calling you that makes me feel disgusted.”

"However, soon you will disgust me just as I disgust you."

Just as Kowe was about to mock Evanson Eastland for still wanting to say something harsh even as he was about to die, he heard a sharp gunshot behind him, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Kowe turned around in astonishment and looked at Evanson Eastland lying in a pool of blood. Only then did he realize that what was happening before him was a conspiracy.

Evanson Eastland shattered his own insect core with a single shot, leaving Kowe unable to find a second one to use in the new test subject.

If Kuwait wants to continue the experiments, he must use the chip left behind by Evanson Eastland.

"That's disgusting." Kowe's brow twitched.

He had no idea what was inside the chip, nor did he know whether it could be transplanted onto other test subjects.

Furthermore, he has no idea when Evanson Eastland mastered this technology.

Kowe felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of dread spreading through his body as if he had touched the edge of something terrifying.

When the chip was placed into the new experimental subject as a last resort, the subject showed no reaction whatsoever.

Just when Kowe thought the experiment was going to fail, the subject with the implanted chip disappeared from the laboratory.

Kuwait learned of this news when he saw it displayed on his terminal early in the morning.

The Sixth Star System Legion raided a domestic space pirate laboratory, seizing hundreds of biological samples from within.

[The Sixth Galaxy Male Insect Protection Association is under siege!!]

The "Sixth Star System Empire Female Insect Sanctuary Ordinance" was forcibly passed, and Lieutenant General Evanson of the Sixth Star System Legion was charged with treason.

[Sixth Galaxy Legion's Ivanson Eastland challenges the authority of the Male Insect Protection Association!]

"..." Kowe frowned, looking impatiently at the series of breaking news messages appearing on his terminal: "What's going on?"

Before Kowe could figure it out, a subordinate's anxious voice came from outside the office door behind him: "General, news has come from the Academy of Sciences that the gene database was stolen last night."

"What?!" Kowe's pupils dilated, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

"The Academy of Sciences also said that Evanson Eastland left you a video."

"Let's go to the Academy of Sciences now." Ke Wei frowned, and without even taking his coat, he headed out.

"General, His Majesty the Insect Emperor requests an audience with you."

Before Kuwait had even left the Eastland residence, the terminal received a message from Sepoliu Castle.

"General?" The subordinate saw Kowe stop in his tracks.

“Go to Sepoliu Fortress.” Kove recalled what Evanson Eastland had said to him before he committed suicide: “Some bastard wants to disgust me, I’ll see how far he can go.”

Ina looked at the messages coming from the front lines on her terminal. Evanson Eastland had already assembled troops in the Sixth Star System and dismissed and imprisoned several officials who opposed the passage of the "Sixth Star System Empire Female Insect Protection Ordinance." All signs indicated that he seemed to want to separate the Sixth Star System from the Insect Empire.

The Insect King's face was extremely grim, but he couldn't believe that the insect cub he had watched grow up would betray him without a word.

Upon receiving the news, he immediately tried to contact Evanson Eastland, but his attempts to communicate were unsuccessful. Eventually, Inai lost patience and ordered the army to assemble outside the Sixth System.

He was still wondering if there was something else going on with Evanson Eastland's actions. So he immediately sent insects to investigate Evanson's recent whereabouts and discovered that Evanson Eastland had actually returned to the First Star System from the Sixth Star System a few days ago.

They also went to Kuwait.

Ina knew Evanson Eastland's fighting strength perfectly well. If war broke out, the Empire would certainly not lose, but the losses would inevitably be heavy.

To avoid unnecessary losses, he needed to find out the truth.

Kuwait had already watched the video sent by the Academy of Sciences on his way to Sepoliu Fortress.

The video Evanson Eastland left him contained so much information that it caused his mental state to falter. Amidst the astonished gazes of his driver and subordinates, Kove plunged the suppressant needle into his neck, quickly injected the medication, and then threw it aside in a fit of rage. For a long time, the elegance and dignity of the nobility vanished in that moment.

The video was pre-recorded by Evanson Eastland. After watching the video, Kove roughly understood why Evanson Eastland chose to commit suicide to destroy the worm core.

Although Evanson could inherit previous memories each time he "reborn," the Zerg's current technology could only inscribe the memories from the original Zerg core into the bionic Zerg core because the core needed to be replaced. The Zerg's current technology could not yet achieve more sophisticated techniques such as transplanting emotions.

Therefore, the "reborn" Evanson will not inherit his previous emotions, mindset, and values.

Before committing suicide, Evanson Eastland could not guarantee that the next Evanson with his memories would be able to do what he planned according to his ideas, so he came up with the method of storing mental energy with chips.

After a chip is implanted, the body becomes like a machine, only able to execute the instructions issued by the chip, and even emotions and memories will not appear.

The day the instruction is completed is the day it becomes useless.
