Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

There are countless stars in the vast universe. The ants who looked up at the sky above the earth's surface have now arrived in the extragalactic galaxy by chance.

Here, six million light-years away from the main body of the Zerg, it is the neighbor of what Zero calls the Lyman galaxy. The Zerg swarm has been developing here for forty years since it arrived here in 1224.

During this period, expansion to the surrounding star fields was already on the agenda in 1236. After the Zerg's super-light speed technology was verified in 1248, it gave them more possibilities.

Today, within Lyman, the Zerg have expanded outward to occupy six star systems, centered on the star system where the passage exit is located, which can be considered a small achievement.

This was supposed to be another starting point for the Zerg's expansion. Zero even planned to place the next brainworm born here to preside over the Zerg's activities here.

However, things didn't go as planned. What was originally a peaceful development era was destroyed by an unexpected blow.

In the year 1264 of the Zerg, Zero witnessed with his own eyes that the blue giant star with a diameter about 13 times the size of the central star of the Ori Galaxy was gradually occupied by darkness!

It was as if there was really some black material covering it. It was just a dot at first, and soon spread wantonly on the surface of the star, eventually plunging the entire star system into darkness.

At this same moment, as the light that lost its source disappeared from the sight of the Zerg, all the Zerg units in the galaxy died.

There is no difference from the previous encounter, as if the darkness comes along with death!

But what brought death before was light, but this time it turned into darkness.

Although this process lasted for a while, Zero did not let the Zerg units here evacuate, but tried his best to observe this phenomenon, or this creature.

Within Lyman, the Zerg occupied seven star systems, but only this one was under attack.

This further verified Zero's previous speculation that perhaps this mysterious creature came for the energy veins!

When the Zerg first arrived here, this mineral vein channel should have been formed for the first time, because Zero did not observe any trace of the mysterious creature here, and there was one and only one energy crystal that existed with the emergence of the Zerg.

During this period, the channel was opened twice, contributing six energy crystals to the Zerg and giving them the ability to travel at faster than light speeds.

But just forty years later, the place was attacked by mysterious creatures. Combined with the situation when Zerg units emerged from the energy veins inside various galaxies in the past, it is not difficult to deduce a conclusion.

That is, whenever a new energy vein appears, this mysterious creature will learn its specific location through an unknown method, or at least get the specific location where it appears within a certain range, and then immediately move here. In the end, just like what Zero saw this time, he occupied the entire star system and killed any living things that might exist in it.

Zero did not observe that other galaxies occupied by the Zerg within Lyman were attacked, but in the galaxies with energy veins, even the Zerg creatures at the edge of the galaxy were all wiped out and no one survived.

This may mean that the opponent's attack behavior is only limited to a single galaxy, and may even be a passive attack within a range, but it does not seem to be the case, because every time a Zerg unit appeared from the channel before, , it all actively launches attacks.

But this time, at the cost of the lives of hundreds of millions of various Zerg units, Zero finally got something from it.

When it completely "erased" the entire blue giant star from the universe, Zero felt familiar fluctuations through the Zerg scientific research unit.

That seemed to be - an information wave similar to when the energy crystal was fully activated!

"Energy? Energy?" Zero thought thoughtfully. The death of countless insect swarms did not cause any fluctuations in Him, or it could be said that it was Zero who directed such an ending.

This method of covering stars or even entire galaxies should not be material. This point has been almost concluded before, and now there is some evidence.

So, maybe it's an energy body? !

"An energy life capable of covering stars?"

Zero is not entirely certain, but based on the known conditions, it is very likely. From the few contacts, the possibility that it is a kind of creature has almost been confirmed. Coupled with the characteristics revealed this time, this possibility is not small.

It is worth mentioning that from direct observation from the outside world, Zero did not find that it had any energy characteristics. Only when it completely enveloped the entire blue giant star and caused the entire star system to lose its light, did it Familiar information was detected.

That is a unique fluctuation when extremely high-quality energy is released!

Zero did not want to lose his vision in Lyman. Under the threat of this mysterious creature, he decided to let the insect swarms in other galaxies completely focus on expansion and move towards more star systems in Lyman. To ensure that no matter what, there is enough energy to continue to observe and learn about the capabilities of this mysterious creature.

Although it does not seem to have shown any interest in attacking bugs in other galaxies, Zero still has to guard against it. The bug swarm currently does not even know the opponent's specific attack methods. It is an absolutely weak party. Facing the strong, Especially hostile strong men must not place their own survival on the wishes of the other party.

At the same time, this is also a unique opportunity. This is the first time the Zerg have been so close to each other since they discovered it!

Although it wiped out the insect swarm in the entire galaxy, this achievement could not scare the insect race.

Zero will not miss the opportunity to observe and test at close range.

With the loss of energy veins, the insect swarms here no longer have the ability to use energy crystals to initiate faster-than-light voyages, but conventional voyages driven by nuclear fusion to travel between neighboring stars only take about ten years.

A group of hive fleets set off from the surrounding star systems and headed straight for the target. Although there is no longer a bright star pointing the direction here, it is the place where the Zerg first appeared in Lyman. Its coordinates do not require star positioning at all, and Zero knows exactly where it is.

.......................................

Observation of unknown organisms cannot be completed in a short time. It is destined to be a long process.

Unfortunately, the Zerg have lost all sources of energy crystals in the Lyman Galaxy. Under the current technological conditions, it is equivalent to losing the ability to travel at faster than light speeds, and can only rely on conventional navigation to expand here.

Zero handed over the observation affairs here to Visser and turned his attention to the Velvet Federation again.

After so many years, the research on Zerg creatures has gradually become no longer a new topic among the people. When technology enters life, everyone has benefited greatly.

In addition to the increase in lifespan, the study of the Zerg body structure has brought new bio-textile technology to civilization. A new private spaceship based on the Zerg outer armor has also begun mass production. The technology derived from the Zerg Gradually it began to mature and was widely used in all walks of life, providing convenience to Velvet people and ethnic minorities.
