Zerg in the crystal wall world

"Didn't you create enough powerful psionic energy for me during the transformation?" The young man said quietly. He accepted the fact that he had been transformed very quickly, as if that was how it should be.

"No, as the master, the purer your psionic energy is, the better. Therefore, apart from integrating the collective will of the insect swarm, you will not have other sources of psionic energy."

"We usually describe this kind of power from external sources as 'mottled'. Forget it, what level of psionic energy do I need to reach to unleash the full strength of my physical body?"

"A relatively strong point."

"What about it?"

Agatha thought for a moment: "According to human standards, your psionic energy should be able to initially awaken your body when it reaches Psi level ten."

There is no quantification of psionic energy levels within the insect swarm. Because they have always had the same will from top to bottom, for the Dominator/Blade Queen, it does not need to know how strong the psionic energy of other insects is, it is not as strong as its own anyway. The Insect Swarm does not pay much attention to special operations and does not pay much attention to the combat capabilities of individual units.

The insect swarm has never been able to truly infect the protoss to join its own group, so it follows human standards in terms of psionic energy.

"If I remember correctly, the standard for human psionic energy is only level ten, right?"

In the initial understanding of humans in the Koprulu Star, the highest level of psionic energy was only level ten. Later, when Kerrigan made her first appearance as the Queen of Blades, the gauges went off the charts. Because it was obviously too much beyond the tenth level, I skipped the eleventh level and directly marked it as the twelfth level of psionic energy, which is also the exclusive level of the Queen of Blades.

"Yes. Some of the proteins that support the normal operation of your body must be synthesized with the assistance of level 10 nether energy."

"What level of psionic energy am I at now?"

"Level three." Agatha blurted out.

Fortunately, at least it is beyond the level of ordinary people.

According to human standards, one to two levels are the level of ordinary people. Only at level three will certain psychic abilities appear, and one can become a searcher who specializes in searching for people with super powers.

Being able to link to Zerg units should be based on level three psionic energy.

"How many swarms of insects did the Lord control before reaching the tenth level of nether energy?" the young man asked again.

"I don't know. All the masters before you were themselves units with psionic energy."

The young man couldn't help but recall the red portal, shook his head helplessly and asked: "What is your level of psionic energy now?"

"Level 5, but currently there is only level 3." The basis for the Queen of Insects to control psionic energy comes from the developed nerve cords in the back of the brain. At this time, all the psionic energy is completely cut off, and only level 5 psionic energy can be mobilized.

And why she is currently only at level three is because the psionic power of the Zerg unit cannot exceed that of the Overlord. Of course, this is not a limitation, but that individual zerg can only use psionic energy and cannot refine psionic energy. The source of all psionic energy comes from the Hive Mind - that is, the Overlord.

In general, the minds of the swarm come together to form the Hive Will. The Hive Will refines psionic energy, and the Zerg units receive the psionic energy by connecting to the Hive Will... In fact, in most cases, the control overlord The level of psionic energy is never about how much psionic energy one has, but how much psionic energy one can control as an individual.

Of course young people don’t know this now. Level five... was even pretty good in his opinion, at least reaching the minimum level of a ghost agent.

And from the scene where Agatha shot through the giant bear just now, we know that the level of psionic energy is not the entirety of the Zerg's combat power. The tanks built by humans have no psionic energy at all, but they can still smash psychic units to pieces. The body of the zerg is no worse than those war machines in all aspects. What's more, Agatha is the Insect Queen next to the previous Overlord, and she is also a heroic unit after all.

"Master," Agatha clasped her claws together and lightly touched each other, "The protection around you is insufficient. Please establish a hatchery as soon as possible."

"Oh yes," the young man responded, "How to set it up? You also brought worker bees?"

"not at all."

Before the young man took a breath of cold air, he heard Agatha continue: "But you are the master, you can breed the insect colony even without worker bees."

The young man was stunned for a moment and looked down at his abdomen. His expression, which had not changed even when a leopard gnawed his neck just now, now became distorted: "Could it be that... you have even changed this aspect for me?"

The light on Agatha's head flickered slightly before she replied: "No, the reproductive system of the insect swarm is too complicated to be installed on your body. But your body is covered with induction glands, even if it is in a sleeping state. You can also activate or deactivate any gene in the insect swarm."

Control genes? The young man was stunned for a moment: "In other words, I can make the Zerg transform into another unit at will?"

"Theoretically yes." Agatha nodded.

But that's only in theory.

Even the most streamlined springtail in the insect swarm has more than 200,000 gene fragments activated. And even if some of the genes are activated, their normal transcription requires special proteins as precursors, and the production of the precursor proteins requires activation of their corresponding genes...

If a young man really wanted to cut off a piece of meat and create a springtail out of thin air, he would need to modify at least nearly a million genetic fragments. Without powerful enough nether energy to create the original essence for "cheating", it would be difficult to achieve.

The production of a unit by the insect swarm often requires several huge organ-shaped buildings tens of meters high and weighing tens of thousands of tons. This is no joke.

"You only need to activate the bacteria blanket," Agatha said, tearing off a piece of translucent skin from the section of her wound. "The structure of the callus of the queen has certain similarities with the bacteria blanket. You just need to Modifying thousands of genetic sites activates the characteristics of a creep."

The creep will not disappear with the disappearance of the Zerg buildings. On the contrary, the Zerg buildings rely on the creep. If most Zerg species want to survive, they need to rely on the carpet to convert numerous inorganic substances on the planet into organic matter.

"In order to expand faster, the previous master gave the creep higher authority."

In the era of great expansion of the insect swarm, when faced with some planets that had no resistance, the insect swarm simply did not even throw the airdrop pods, but dropped a ball of cysts wrapped in carpet material and flew away directly. Once the fungus carpet covers the entire planet, hatcheries will naturally develop and multiply into massive insect swarms.

Sometimes there are even no carpet cells.

It's just that humans who were infected with the Zerg super-evolved virus mutated after returning to the planet behind. As the virus spread, some mutants expanded out of the carpet, and there were many examples of the entire planet falling into a swarm ocean. However, this development The potential of the swarm is limited. After all, the virus does not store all of the zerg's DNA.

The young man took the piece of skin still stained with green mucus from Agatha's hand, and was surprised that he didn't feel sick at all.

After looking at it for a while, the young man raised his head: "What should I do?"

The Zerg swarm in this article is not a pure Zerg Zerg, but some other Zerg settings and magical modifications have been added.

For example, the Hive Mind that appears in this chapter refers to the setting of the Tyranids.
