When the Galaxy Wept

Chapter 113 No More War Anymore

The shape of Veronica’s eyes changed, and the vertical pupils became long, narrow, and cold. “No, Veronica, don’t...” Zach shouted loudly, which numbed Veronica’s ears. However, the words seemed to be magic to stop her from changing her body. Her forehead has already generated a hard scale; her teeth sharpened, and her fingers had the black and tough tentacles. But he disregarded all these and pressed her onto the wall. The white bandages covered his eyes but made his face more handsome. She thus forgot her shape and her anger and reached out to gently touch his face. “Veronica.” Tears wetted the bandage, and his voice was hoarse, “please stop, Veronica. You are already the Queen. If there is misfortune in the world, please accept it; you cannot always be the winner! Compulsion makes no happiness to you and your citizens. You are a good queen. You lose the war for your citizens’ sake. What can’t you be reconciled to?” “Really? Does compulsion make no happiness? Just like that, I force you to be with me?” Her voice trembled. Zach grabbed her tentacles at once. The sharp prick stabbed into his palm and made it bleed. Her eyes surfaced with sorrow, but he couldn’t see it. “I won’t go with humans,” Zach said gently out of her expectation. He grabbed her tentacles with his hands and held them firmly. His handsome face gradually approached her, and his cold breath was sprayed on her face. Veronica felt her world was frozen. She closed her eyes as if she went back to the first day when she saved him, and on that day, he lay on the bed, and his eyes seemed to be filled with bright moonlight. “Gorgeous...” He looked at her beside his bed at that time, “what happened? Why am I lying on your bed?” “Shhhh---” A harsh sound. Veronica immediately opened up her eyes, which had changed into human eyes. She saw that Zach’s face was ghastly pale. Her tentacle was grabbed by his hands firmly and pricked into his abdomen. “Zach!” Veronica couldn’t believe her eyes. She wanted to withdraw the tentacle, but she was afraid of worsening his wound, so she couldn’t do anything but shout, “Safeguard! Safeguard!” But he still fell down into her arms palely. His voice was low, “I don’t want to kill you, so I can only kill myself.” Veronica’s tears rolled down, “You madness!” But he smiled at her, “Veronica, promise me, no war anymore.” “No! Why do you have to die?” “I am already...your husband, you’ve... prepared... the marriage contract.” Zach said, “even though I return to ...the Alliance, I will be humiliated and useless.” He said calmly, “Veronica, I love you...so ...want you to memorize, your lover...died for the war, no war anymore...no war anymore...” “...No war anymore,” Veronica repeated his words dully, and then she saw that he smiled with satisfaction and softness. When he lost his last breath in her arms, Veronica’s sharp pupils contracted immediately. “No!!!” She raised her head and gave out a desperate scream---it seemed that the whole fortress trembled with her shout. Voices of splitting bones from flesh resounded from the inside of her body. Countless scales, claws, and tentacles burst out from her, gradually inflating her body. Her skin was no longer white, nor was her body slim. Instead, all features similar to humans in her body were covered by insect skin-like armor. The body was larger than any other Zergs,’ and it inflated and occupied the whole cabinet instantly. The chandelier was crushed into pieces, and the high-strength alloy walls were crushed with lengthy cracks. However, on the ugly and giant Zerg body, a pair of tentacles reached out from the chest to gently carry the cold body on the ground. And on the Zerg’s head with rough muscles, sorrowful tears wetted her purple dicorias. “I promise you.” She put her face on the man’s body, “no war anymore....no war anymore.” **** On the deck of the Dragon, the news had spread all around the deck that the Commander drove away a cheetah on his own, so when the cheetah finally landed on the deck, the pilots and ground crew all wandered around deck to have a look. The cabinet door opened automatically. The tall and handsome Commander walked out, and inside his arms was a woman. The woman was in the common pilot uniform, with the gray weskit and camouflage pants covering her shapely figure. She looked extremely small inside the Commander’s arms. On the look of the people staring at them, she grabbed the Commander’s shirt and seemed to resist his might. However, regardless of her resistance, the mighty and cold Commander marched onto the deck. He just carried Emerald in this way and walked to the captain’s rest cabinet in the center of the fortress. Emerald’s face blushed, and it seemed that his attitude towards her changed these days greatly. He was bossy as usual, but something new seemed to appear. He put her on the bed with extreme gentleness. She looked up at him, and he also looked down at her. Then a kiss fell on her lips. It seemed that he wanted to release all his pain refrained for these days, and he kissed her fiercely. Then, one of his legs on the ground and the other kneeling on the bed, his hands grabbed her firmly, which pushed her deeply in his arms. After long, he released her. But his hands still held hers. His dark eyes were still filled with gentle passion. “Where is your wound?”Emerald’s heart missed a beat. She did not expect that he would not ask about her experience or how she controlled the stone arrays to turn the tables of the war. Everyone would be interested in the stone arrays, but he only asked her about the wound. She wanted to cry, but not she didn’t want to cry in front of him. She pointed at her right leg, “there.” He frowned and stripped off her pants. She gave out a painful groan when the pants wiped her right leg. The legs in front of his eyes were slim but covered with thick bandages. Although it was treated, there still was blood immersed from the inside. The medical care of the Zerg was bad. But he did not say anything, just took tools from the bedside and gently removed the bandages. The wound was ugly, the blood on it was dry, and there was even inflammation in the leg. He just looked at it for a few seconds and then stood up to dial the telephone on the wall, “Doctor Queenie Raman, I’m the captain. Please come to my cabinet now.”
