Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

This kind of bug at the microscopic level has entered a deep dormant state since its birth, showing no signs of life. It floats quietly in the universe invisible to the naked eye, "drifting with the current."

They are not so much a bug as a "spore", a parasitic "spore".

Under normal circumstances, their shapes can be observed at the cellular level, but in the dark and cold universe, their existence is extremely difficult to detect, especially when they fall into dormancy and have no life characteristics.

The large Zerg warships around him were destroyed and killed one by one, and the bursting fire briefly illuminated the surrounding darkness. In order to quietly release these extremely large numbers of small lives, Sass gave up the idea of ​​letting the Zerg swarm break out with all their strength.

Once most of the main force is wiped out, the remaining defeated soldiers will be unable to compete with the mechanical cleaning team behind them. It doesn't matter whether they flee or not.

Instead of doing this, it is better to use the large-scale combat power that the insect swarm can finally gather in this galaxy to guide this script originally set by the opponent in other directions, which can also serve as a basis for future counterattacks. Plant hope.

…………

At this stage of the war, it can be said that all Visor's previous plans have completely failed. Now that the opponent occupies almost all the available resources in the galaxy, the swarm has lost the ability to lead the fleet to compete with the opponent head-on.

This was already clear to Sass after it took over the command of the insect swarm in the HC-006 system. This was also the reason why it chose to sacrifice the main force of the insect swarm and execute its plan with all its might.

Of course, although it has done this, it does not mean that hundreds of thousands of Zerg warships will give up resistance.

The brutal war is still going on, and the insect swarm is at a disadvantage. The overall number and combat power are slowly declining as time goes by. Following this, more microscopic insect species are released into the universe. .

This was a decisive battle carefully prepared by Mira. For this reason, she gave up hiding in the safest place to control the overall situation and personally controlled the fleet to fight the Zerg. This meant that it had completely controlled the direction of the war.

The final development of this war also gradually overlapped with one of the many simulated wars, and finally led to the only result: the insect swarm was heading for defeat bit by bit!

Both Mira and Sass, who took over the command, had expected this result.

It is worth mentioning that these microscopic bugs spewed out by the swarm do not come from the hatchery as larvae, but are a type of immune bug that can be regarded as carried by the bugs themselves.

As early as when the Zerg swarm was active on the surface of Orui, in order to deal with the powerful parasites in the ocean, under the leadership of Sars, it already had an initial immune system, that is, in the Zerg individual body, there is a body that can consume A system in which flesh and blood energy produces numerous microscopic insect species. When the Zerg are invaded from the microscopic level, it can also produce a large number of microscopic insect species from the microscopic level, thereby launching a counterattack against the enemy.

Therefore, this technology has attracted much attention for a long time, especially during that period of ocean exploration. It was also one of Lisas's main research directions during that time.

After so many years, due to the lack of enemies in space and the lack of relevant levels, the Zerg swarm has not made many changes in this aspect. It still maintains the old set, which can be regarded as the standard configuration of large Zerg units. .

When there is no battle at the relevant level, this immune system will not actively work. It is equivalent to a redundant structure and will not consume additional energy. But in fact, it is equivalent to an incubation structure built into the flesh and blood of a large insect species. Once there is a need, it can start activities immediately.

This time, Sass used this structure to sprinkle countless tiny bugs into this vast universe. They did not cause any waves in the dark and deep space of the universe.

In fact, this operation seems to be a sudden idea that came to Sars when he was ordered to do something in danger, but it is actually the result of a long time of planning.

The hatchery, which exists as the main functional unit of the Zerg base, and even the Devourers that are combined with giant insect species, have their own meanings, and are indispensable existences among the Zerg species. The hatching of large and medium-sized insect species , need them as the "mother body". If we use mechanical civilization as a metaphor, they are like industrial mother machines, and they are one of the sources of the power of the Zerg.

As for the hatchery itself, apart from improvements in hatching efficiency and resource utilization over the years, there is no fundamental difference from the beginning.

The work that Sass has done over the years actually only lies in one point, which is to make the birth of the hatchery itself no longer dependent on the larvae, but to give the function of the hatchery for the birth of the Zerg to a more subtle existence!

In other words, Sass makes the Zerg no longer completely dependent on the hatchery for its existence!

Before this, assuming that there is a mysterious force in this world that can kill all the surviving hatcheries of the Zerg and the Zerg species such as Devourers with hatching functions in an instant, then all the Zerg units will be lost. source.

Under the original conditions, the existence of the hatchery is a very obvious weakness of the Zerg. If it can be completely eliminated and there are no larvae born in the hatchery among the Zerg, then even if the insect swarm spreads across the star sea, there will eventually be The day of death.

And now, the solution to this problem has been proposed by Sars. It had noticed this hundreds of years ago, and its long-term research results were finally put into practice in the last days of the war!

………………

Under the crazy attack of the Mira mechanical fleet, the Zerg fleets were falling into death in batches.

Losing biological activity, or being directly and completely destroyed, are just the norm.

In this process, the mechanical fleet also paid a considerable price. Hundreds of thousands of mechanical battleships and Zerg space species have become space junk floating on the edge of the galaxy, and no one cares about it anymore.

This process was not completed within a few days or months. In fact, under the command of Sass, this war between the main force of the insect swarm and the mechanical fleet lasted for more than a year!

During this process, in addition to the two main battlefields, the mechanical fleet also entered the asteroid belt and launched a protracted battle with the insect swarms that developed and expanded here. Here, the battlefield expanded again and again, and the war began. Spreading in this huge ring-shaped celestial body group.

In the vast universe, the distances are often tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilometers, which gives the insect swarm a lot of room to move around, even in extremely passive situations.

Even though he had a relatively complete plan for the future development of the swarm in the galaxy, Sass did not sit still and led the swarm to inflict a lot of damage to the opponent in the process.

But this doesn't make much sense. As long as Mira still exists, no matter how many losses the mechanical fleet suffers, it won't matter.

For it, these losses are all worth it. As long as the main force of the Zerg is destroyed, the next thing to do is to completely clean up the entire star system and erase the traces of biological existence from here!

Here, at the edge of the star system, is the world of many small celestial bodies. At the beginning of the birth of stars, they failed to gather enough mass and became an outermost planet. They eventually scattered all over the place, forming a special environment with a thin ring at the edge of the stellar system.
