Zerg in the crystal wall world

Δworld

The Overlord sighed helplessly. The acquisition of steel seal technology obviously failed.

Judging from the empire's style of conduct, it would be useless to use the throne to forcefully deliver psionic energy or air defense units to destroy the missiles at this time.

Unless the Overlord goes there in person, no Zerg unit can withstand the bombardment of soul bombs.

The Empire's effectiveness was even faster than expected.

Human beings are not king insects, and they do not convert solutions to various problems into biological instincts and then engrave them into DNA.

Encounter, decision-making, reporting...every step takes time. The larger the organization and the more complicated the official system, the longer it will take to respond and dispatch.

This is one of the reasons why the natives were unable to organize effective resistance when the swarm invaded most worlds: by the time the rulers realized the swarm crisis, the swarm had already accumulated to a terrifying number.

As for the Empire, even though the Inquisition was holding it back, it still completed tasks including intelligence verification, pathological research, troop assembly, personnel evacuation, etc. as soon as the plague broke out.

Of all the enemies the swarm has encountered so far, only the church ordered by God himself has an administrative efficiency that exceeds that of the empire.

Fortunately, the insect swarm was not completely fruitless.

The Overmind transferred its consciousness into an infected abyss.

Here, a group of demons are being imprisoned.

This was taken from the world capital of Tark No. 925 by Throne after the soul bomb tore through the red clouds and the imperial forces officially launched a war with the demons.

The results of preliminary analysis of their genes have also been obtained.

Demons have a very special characteristic: "continuous metamorphosis".

That is to say, at any time, one can change its own physical characteristics through metamorphosis and development.

There are a large number of unexpressed genes in each demon's gene pool. Various traits can be developed based on environmental pressure, food eaten, and the advancement of the soul.

This is why there are so many types of demons.

Moreover, the demon gene chain shows signs of splicing, and many familiar fragments, such as genes belonging to elves, dragons, and moon-winged beasts, can be found in it.

This is an obvious acquired design feature, but its gene chain splicing method is very primitive, lacking organization and necessary encryption, and it really doesn't look artificial...

But no matter what, this means that every demon is a collection of extremely valuable natural essences.

The most important thing is that the devil has a lot of talents in the "contract" field.

Apart from anything else, just the fact that demon skin can "touch" the soul is a huge improvement for the insect swarm that until now can only interfere with the soul through the magnetic field in the brain.

What's more, the Overlord can also completely integrate the power of the soul into the insect swarm by transforming the demon with the "contract essence" into the fulcrum of the Hive Will, just like it did with Mota.

And such high-quality demons are not difficult to find. Theoretically, every "Demon King" who can control multiple lords should have the potential to expand the Hive Mind.

It's just a pity... Before further analyzing the power of demons, there is still a necessary problem that needs to be solved:

The demons one after another have either thrown away their skulls and connected them with psionic tentacles; or their heads have been deformed and grown external brains; or their whole bodies have simply decomposed into pulp...

In various explorations that were close to torture, some of them wailed in pain, some roared in anger, and some gasped...but there was no exception.

Their self-awareness is extremely stable and clear. This is true no matter how it stirs their nerves and shocks their hearts.

The demon soul seems to be uncontrollable...

Of course, this does not mean that these demons are immune to psychic attacks.

It is a kind of "violence" that exists at the soul level, similar to the thunder beast, and is achieved through a certain thinking mechanism and chaotic algorithm.

The Overlord can forcibly break through this immunity mechanism through a large amount of psionic energy.

But... it is really not worth the gain to let a twelfth-level unit expend energy to forcibly control some eighth- and ninth-level units.

Or establish a special infection abyss for demons and try to crack this protection mechanism...

There's little hope, Demon's Soul is too big for the current insect swarm.

Next.

Whether it is the empire's siege against demons or the fortress transformation of the entire world; or the evolution of insect swarm infected bodies and the construction of insect nests, they cannot produce results in a short time.

Just in time, Shuai Qiu reported that he created a valuable magic unit and asked the Lord to review it...

Tark World No. 925.

ruins.

A "Mighty" household robot covered in smoke, with a broken outer shell and a damaged track on one side was rummaging around for something.

A slightly distorted voice continued to sound from the loudspeaker: "Search, Master."

It tried to lift a floor slab, but the only remaining track slipped frequently and was unable to do anything.

After all, its limit is just a domestic robot, and its limit is just to lift the wardrobe and clean the dust underneath.

At this time, a slight noise aroused its alertness.

An intact "Mighty" household robot and a standard servo auxiliary machine?

Although he was confused about this combination, the damaged Mighty robot still took the initiative to speak: "Hello, I am Mr. Mighty, how can I help."

"Hello, I am also Mr. Mighty. This is my companion, the Gracchus." The complete robot spoke proactively, "I am looking for a companion. Do you want to join us?"

"Companion? I can't understand. Mr. Mighty needs to find his master and cannot join your team."

"Your shell is dirty, do you need to clean it?"

The damaged mighty robot paused for a moment before replying: "Yes, thank you for your help. My self-cleaning equipment has been damaged."

The intact mighty robot stretched out a mechanical limb. At the end of it, where the brush should have been, countless tiny microwires were found, moving vividly.

"Your cleaning limb is very strange. Is it a personal modification or a new model?"

"Cleaning will begin immediately, please do not move."

"Haha, Mr. Mighty can't wait to enjoy cleaning."

The tentacles on the brush full of tentacles began to stretch, like an ivy, climbing quickly on the damaged mighty robot.

"Thank you, your skills are very good... You can't do it there, the charging interface does not need to be cleaned." At this time, more and more tentacles stretched out from the intact mighty robot, and they rushed towards the broken mighty robot one after another. The latter finally discovered the danger, "Please stop going deep, stop going deep inside, please stop cleaning——"

But by this time, there was nothing to stop it.

The loudspeaker is still announcing in vain: "Mr. Mighty is very scared, foreign objects have invaded, too many foreign objects, unknown liquid has invaded, it is full...warning, warning, warning..."

Green light comes on.

The zerg tissue that invaded the body began to break down the carapace, filling in the gaps in the shell, and grew insect legs on the sides to fill in the damaged tracks.

"Hello, companion." The infected omnic spoke again.

"Hello, companion," the infected omnic responded.

"Command, find, new companions."

Hall of Truth, underground.

As the technician pulled the control brake.

A mechanical voice sounded: "The disaster has been confirmed, the emergency plan has been responded to at the first level, and the remote control center has been activated."

Amidst the loud noise, the lights lit up in rows.

Tens of thousands of large-scale construction omni-devices were revealed, and as the platform rose, they were activated one by one.

"Goal, build Type 3 shelter..."
