I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

1128 17.55 Fourth Violet Star - The Emperor and the Queen.

At the Main Palace...

Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian and the residents of the palace heard the news that the Main City had been reclaimed. They despatched more people right away to help Duke Claudius von Gretel, who took charge and organized the effort to save the surviving. The Emperor gave the Duke the assignment to exterminate all of the Black Ant Zergs that were still present in the city. His search for his youngest and second sons is a top priority.

He lost a lot of his kids, and the ones who are still alive are either gone or unheard of. The Crown Prince hasnʼt been heard from since he left for Planet Terra and lost contact with them. After being left in the First Military Imperial School in order to keep him out of the political disputes between the Royal Family and the Noble Faction, the Youngest Prince has vanished.

Even the Emperor was surprised by this unanticipated invasion. He secretly desired that his remaining children were still around. The device also discovered parasites on the Nova Clan and the Queen Mother herself, who were both locked up. Even worse, none of the aides to the Queen Mother and Crown Prince wanted to undergo surgery to save them. Late-stage cancers, however, were all instantly fatal.

All of them were perplexed when the Queen Mother was found to be parasite-free. They have seen her lead the Parasited as if they were all her death warriors. For her, they would all sacrifice their lives. The Emperor and the other people in the palace were unsure of what to do about the Queen Mother as a result of this strange scenario. They couldnʼt harm her at all because she wasnʼt parasitized. They ultimately decide to lock her up until the Grand Marshal returns and remove her from her slaves.

All physical might and mental capacity were confined inside the white prison. The Queen Mother, whose face no longer belonged to a royal queen, was chained up and sitting on the ground. Despite her difficult circumstances, the Queen was peacefully dozing off. It appeared as though she was simply at home napping rather than being confined.

Meanwhile, in the laboratory...

The Queen Motherʼs DNA was being examined by Dean Frey von Gregory. What she learned was genuinely unexpected. She was now a synthetic Zerg in humanoid shape, not a human. He is a real-life Zerg Human. It appears that the Nova Clanʼs dark currents include their cruelty toward others, especially themselves, in addition to their treasonous worldview. Who would have imagined that the Nova Clan would combine human blood with Zerg Genes to create a successful outcome?

The Zerg and human experimentation produced the Queen Mother. She is now neither human nor Zerg, but rather a being devoid of both. No one is certain of her allegiance in her new life. She also lives among the Zerg in a manner akin to a queen. She was competent at commanding inferior Zerg and even managing a herd.

Frey von Gregory reported to the Emperor his findings and as expected everyone was shocked by what they heard.

Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian said, ”No wonder there are more parasites inside the Nova Clan than the rest of the clans. They had crossed the line. Does the Queen Mother have the ability to cause parasitism?”

”That may be the case... according to the report from before, isnʼt she the one who made those servants as parasites? She has a similar ability to that of a Parasite Zerg Queen. Your Majesty, what is your decision?” Dean Frey von Gregory asked.

What ought to be done with the Queen, he was enquiring. The Queen, who is a victim of the Nova Clan itself, may be to blame for this catastrophe because she is no longer a human. Yet, as the Imperlianʼs Queen, only His Majesty Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian has the power to choose her fate.

The Emperor thought for a bit and looked at Frey von Gregory. ”Is it possible for us to meet the Queen?”

The first authorities to oppose when he asked this were those who supported the Emperor. Their bureaucrats would never permit His Majesty to encounter that monster given the knowledge that the Queen Mother is no longer human and is likely the origin of Zerg Parasites.

”Not possible, Your Majesty!”

”Please take back your words, Your Majesty? You canʼt meet that monster!”

”Your Majesty canʼt go. If so, you must do it over this old manʼs body!”

”Thatʼs right. Thatʼs right!”

The Emperor could do nothing but sigh and give up on the idea of seeing his Queen after witnessing his devoted staff behaving in such a manner. He didnʼt adore this Queen of Hiss because she belonged to that despicable clan and wanted to exploit him as a puppet emperor, but he felt sympathy for her because he knew she was a victim herself. She was a tool that her clan employed to further their terrible agenda. She really didnʼt want to join his harem because she had always desired a family who would love her.

Sigh~

”Okay, we wonʼt see her anymore.” Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian said as if he was defeated. But these words of his called down his ministers who were worried about him.

Dean Frey von Gregory who was staying silent the whole time had spoken, ”Are you sure you arenʼt going to see the Queen, Your Majesty? Right now, she is the only person who can tell us the locations of the laboratories in which the Nova Clan used to do such heinous experiments. Maybe there are even survivors among them? How many missing people havenʼt been found all these years and some of them are connected to the ministers and the noble families.”

Some of the clergy in the crowd fell silent as Dean Frey von Gregory continued. In fact, some of their family had been absent for a very long time. Even though they had already given up hope that they could still be located, they continued to look for these relatives. They canʼt really give up because they are family.

Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian was aware of the concerns of his ministers and believed that the Deanʼs persuasive arguments had given him an opportunity to meet the Queen.

He asked, ”Is there a way to meet the Queen without seeing her face to face? Or Lord Gregory can come with us if the parasite attempts to take over you shall protect us. Is this preferable? We cannot waste any more time. As long as we find the source of the Ant Zergs and Parasites we should be able to save the current situation. The Queen must know the cause of the parasites at least.”

”There is no need to meet the Queen face to face. The interrogation room has a glass wall that can prevent the Queen from approaching the Emperor.” Dean Frey von Gregory.

Emperor Cale said, ”Thatʼs possible. Letʼs go meet her!”

When they arrived at the Special Prison where the Queen was imprisoned after being led there by the emperor and Dean Frey, they were greeted by a beaming Queen Nova who realized they had already made up their minds. Even seeing her smile gave the impression that one was visiting a prisoner rather than one of the palaces within the harem if one didnʼt look at her current condition in which all of her limbs were shackled.

Queen Nova spoke as soon as he spotted Emperor Cale. ”You are finally here. I thought I wouldnʼt be able to see you for the last time.”

”You must know why I came here.” Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian said with a straightforward demeanor. ”Except for pardoning you and your clan, I am willing to listen to one of your wishes. In exchange, you tell me everything I wanted to know.”

”Save my son and I will tell you everything that you want to know.” Queen Nova said.

A bit startled, Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian asked, ”You know where Cain is?”

Everyone noticed the Queen Motherʼs eyes changing from dull to rational and back again as she nodded. It was the stage where her Zerg DNA began to take control of her body while still putting up a fight.

”The Nova Clan took him away. The plan to head to Planet Terra is a hoax. They wanted to take control of my son. The pill I gave him was something that would allow me to track where he would be brought but I feel that the pill is within the Main Palace. You must have taken it. All the information about the Clan was hidden in my roomʼs side cabinet. I hope you keep your word to save my son. If you fail to do so, unless I am dead this Empire shall fall. Hahaha~” The Queen Mother returned to her dull self after saying these words.

After the conversation, Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian and the rest took their leave. Their faces were imprinted with seriousness as if feeling a bad premonition of the future.

Emperor Cale said, ”Send someone to the Queenʼs Palace. Bring me whatever was hidden there!”

”Yes, Your Majesty!” A shadow warrior responded from the shadow before disappearing to do his duties.

Dean Frey von Gregory said, ”Your Majesty, you mustnʼt feel sorry for her. The fate of those in the Imperial Family has never been easy. When she chooses to be on the different side from yours, she already knows that once the plan of her clan fails she will be abandoned in the end. Even asking his majesty to save her son because she believed you wouldnʼt abandon your children. That is her greatest and only wish.”

”Is there something wrong with her?” Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian asked. Throughout their chat, he also observed the variations in her facial expressions. It would alternate between being monotonous, rational, and slightly mad. Even while there are benefits to mingling DNA with another race, he was aware that doing so would have negative repercussions on the body.

Dean Frey von Gregory answered truthfully. ”Those who merged their bloodline with another race had two endings. A positive one when the merge of genes was successful and enjoying all the advantages of both races. The second one is a failure. Achieving a short-term increase in potential and strength but greatly affecting oneʼs lifespan. The Queen falls on the latter.”

”How long can she still live?” Emperor Cale asked.

Dean Frey von Gregory said, ”According to how I see it... She only had half a year before the blood of Zerg in her devoured her from the inside. Once all her human genes were eaten, she would become a mindless creature with the strength of a Zerg Queen. She canʼt be left alive.”

When he considered the prospect that this woman would evolve into a Zerg Queen with human intelligence, his expression darkened. She will have intelligence that is comparable to that of an adult human, even if she is emotionless. It would be a formidable foe to maintain. She has to go as soon as possible.

Emperor Cale knew the hidden meaning in the Deanʼs words and his face turned helpless. ”Keep her alive until the Crown Prince is found. I can only do that much for her.”

The Emperorʼs back appears to be a little lower, and it is clear that he is weary of everything going on, including the harem, the noble families engaged, the parasite Zerg, and their unprovoked invasion. As the nationʼs Emperor, people who were under him would continue fighting so long as he didnʼt lose power. He is their source of hope and light. Even still, since there is only one Emperor in Imperium Star, and that is him, no one could possibly comprehend the anguish the Emperor had to endure all this time.

”Dean, will the Emperor be alright?” A minister asked.

Dean Frey von Gregory said, ”Let him be for a while. The loss he suffered in this disaster is too much to bear but as an Emperor, he mustnʼt show his weakness. It would be better if we find the youngest prince soon.”
