"Hmm?" Valerian watched as the energy readings inside Odin suddenly began to spike, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

He stared wide-eyed at the display screen, unable to believe what he was seeing.

This level of energy fluctuation is definitely not what one would expect when activating a beam weapon; it's more like a self-destruction!

At this thought, Valerian's face turned deathly pale, and his heart pounded as if it were about to leap out of his throat.

"Kerrigan! Get out of there! Odin is about to self-destruct!" He didn't have time to think and hurriedly warned Kerrigan through the communicator, his voice filled with fear and urgency.

Meanwhile, Kerrigan, who was in Odin's cockpit, also noticed something amiss.

Hearing Valerian's call, her heart tightened, and she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Damn Mengsk!" Kerrigan cursed under her breath, abandoning the clone's corpse without hesitation and turning to charge at Odin's cockpit armor.

She clenched her fists, exerted a sudden burst of strength, and forcefully tore open the thick armor plate.

The instant Kerrigan left Odin, a dazzling light suddenly erupted.

With a deafening roar, Odin's reactor and countless destructive weapons exploded simultaneously, creating a catastrophic ray of death.

The enormous fireball, like a falling sun, burned fiercely in the sky above Augustegrad, releasing endless heat and shockwaves.

The surrounding buildings were no match for this terrifying force, collapsing and breaking apart, raising clouds of dust and smoke.

Kerrigan stood at the center of this fireball, facing the power of Odin's self-destruction.

Her figure appeared and disappeared amidst the raging flames, as if she might be swallowed up at any moment.

The earth trembled violently, as if the whole world was trembling in fear.

A huge hole was torn open in the sky, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the air like a demon, blotting out the sun.

The Khar Palace appeared so small in the face of this horrific sight, yet it served as the best cover for the Royal Guard.

Valerian stared intently at the mushroom cloud, silently praying that Kerrigan would be unharmed in the explosion.

He knew all too well that if Kerrigan were to perish, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not to mention that he would have no way to explain this to Raynor, more importantly, Kerrigan's swarm would split into independent colonies due to the loss of its leader.

At that time, it will be difficult to predict which side those alien insects will stand on.

Of course, Kerrigan, as the most powerful being in Zerg history, is not so easily killed.

When the shockwave from the explosion finally subsided, Valerian didn't hesitate to start Zeus's engine and speed towards the place where Kerrigan had last appeared, beginning an emergency search.

"Cough cough..." Suddenly, Kerrigan's weak voice came through the communicator, "Valenian, didn't you say you would intercept Odin's signal transmission? Why did Odin still self-destruct after I took control of the cockpit?"

Valerian's expression instantly turned serious, and he hurriedly replied, "We did successfully intercept the electromagnetic signals inside Odin, but we didn't detect any abnormal signals before it self-destructed... There's only one possibility."

"He started it manually elsewhere in Odin."

In order to survive this terrifying explosion, Kerrigan used almost all of her psionic energy.

Her once incredibly powerful body has become extremely fragile due to the extreme depletion of energy, and her regeneration rate has slowed down significantly.

Kerrigan stared at her newly sprouted flesh, which was slowly covering her exposed bones.

She couldn't help but sigh, "It seems we'll have to keep dealing with your old man."

Valerian sighed helplessly, looked at Kerrigan, and said, "Do they really think a dead man can still do anything?"

However, even though the other party might not be the real Arcturus Mengsk, Valerian knew in his heart that the Terran Empire was indeed much better now than it had been during Arcturus's reign.

He is not a tyrant. Through his efforts and those of like-minded people, including Renault, the Terran Empire now has a fair, just, and prosperous government.

If it weren't for Amon, this sudden enemy, launching a brutal war that engulfed the entire sector, the Terran Empire would have thrived under their careful protection.

Those born during Arcturus's reign were very satisfied with the new government and would never miss life in the old empire.

After all, the new government brought them unprecedented peace and development, making their lives better.

Therefore, if anyone were to attempt to restore Arcturus's rule, they would certainly be the first to stand up and oppose it.

Just like the Royal Guard and the Khar Defense Force around Valerian now, they know Arcturus all too well.

Matt Horner, who was fiercely vying for control of the cosmos with the old Imperial Fleet, felt his spirits were somewhat low.

Despite the assistance of powerful Zerg behemoths like the Leviathan, the Korhal defense fleet was still unable to inflict any substantial damage on the Titan.

The time-slowing field released by that Titan was practically an unsolvable problem; only when an object the size of a warship entered it could the effect of the time-slowing field be slightly reduced.

However, what is puzzling is that the enemy's warships seem to be completely unaffected by the slow-motion position, which means that if the Khar Defense Fleet were to charge rashly, it would only be dragged along and torn apart by the enemy.

Just as Horner was fretting over this, the entire Royal Fleet of the Old Empire was intently watching the footage from the Titan's bridge.

In this image, Arcturus Mengsk stands prominently in the center, his figure appearing dignified and solemn.

Beside him, more than ten ghostly figures of leaders knelt, as if to show him their loyalty and awe.

Arcturus's voice rang out on screen, full of majesty and confidence: "Warriors of the Empire! I have returned!"

Deep in their memories, Arcturus's figure is like a distant and vague phantom, existing only in legends and projections.

For most people, they have never actually seen the emperor's face in person.

However, this does not diminish their admiration and longing for the empire's glorious history.

Those young men outside the Royal Guard listened to their "predecessors" recount the Empire's great achievements in taming the Zerg and repelling the Protoss, and their hearts burned with passion.

These stories echoed in their ears, igniting a deep sense of pride and ambition within them.

Amidst a mix of truth and falsehood, these young people joined the fleet without hesitation, determined to dedicate themselves to the "revolutionary army" against the cowardly government.

Driven by a pursuit of honor and a desire for change, these young people embarked on this unknown path without hesitation.

Those who benefited during Arcturus's rule would not easily relinquish the power they possessed.

Despite being on the wrong side, they would never accept Valerian, the new emperor who seized power through the Zerg swarm.

What's more, Valerian actually distributed their wealth to the common people! To them, this was an intolerable betrayal.
