Zerg in the crystal wall world

Because the situation unfolded so unexpectedly, even the master was in a daze at this time.

You should know that although Mota and his unicorn have left, the two largest "tentacles" that can carry the dominant psionic energy are not there. But Apocalypse's vision will not be blocked because of this. In fact, because more and more high-level command units have received support orders, prying eyes are becoming more and more intensive.

But the succubus lay down among the tentacles as if no one else was around, enjoying the rubbing, kneading and drilling of the mucus-covered flesh as the heart of the tree bounced up and down.

This debauched scene seems to correspond to a certain witchcraft ritual, or a prelude to the casting of some "forbidden spell".

The succubus's erotic realm seemed to be catalyzed by something and began to expand rapidly. Until the entire world is covered.

In the Overlord's vision, it was as if the whole world suddenly started to accelerate.

The production capacity of the world's insect hive has skyrocketed, and its instantaneous peak can even rival three world groups, because the rapidly growing number of insect units has even formed a vortex in the will of the insect hive.

Such a violent birth rate exceeded the carrying limit of the material circulation curse established by the Moon God in a very short period of time. Excessive material consumption even formed a siphon storm in the elemental world.

At the core of all changes, the changes in the ancient root trees are even more dramatic.

The originally lignified body gradually became stained with a layer of dark red and a large number of whorls appeared. The originally thick, straight bone spurs like a swarm of insects gradually twisted and rotated, turning into devil-like threaded horns, among the treetops. There was a red flame burning in the room. That is the magic fire that can burn the soul.

Even the soul of the ancient tree has changed from the quiet and slow "tree" soul of the tree of life to the agitated and violent one, filled with all kinds of extreme desires.

This is demonization.

Or to use a more "insect swarm" way of describing it, the ancient root tree is being infected by the demon soul.

One of the most successful species in the world.

The insect swarm's research on demons has never stopped: this is a strange creature that can metamorphose and develop, and has multiple development periods and multiple development routes.

The lowest and most numerous little lemures can produce "metamorphosis" in different directions depending on their own emotions and the souls they devour, and may eventually develop into horned demons, demon warlords, shadow demons, and even alien snake demons and demons. The three-headed dog of hell.

Some demons with more extreme development routes can even find their prototypes in the natural environment. Such as cave demons and cave spiders, dragon demons and dragons.

The standard demon itself is a suture monster that combines the characteristics of a humanoid, red eyes, bat wings, horns, sharp claws, goat hooves... multiple species.

The swarm can also separate the essence of more than one kind of monster and blue blood from the demon's body. In other words, in terms of racial characteristics, demons, like insects, have the habit of constantly collecting the advantageous characteristics of other species.

Just as the insect swarm has been pursuing the essence of the devil, this demon is obviously trying to make the insect swarm a member of the devil...

The master who was mobilizing Leviathan suddenly ordered to stop the attack.

When it comes to contamination, the Swarm has no fear of any species. As long as the opponent's body begins to flow with the blood of the Zerg, it can be linked and controlled by the king insect. Although the Demon's Soul contains innate spells and the secret of the contract, it does not have uncontrollable characteristics like the Emperor's Soul.

The demonized insect swarm and the insectoid demon can almost be equated.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, just from the process of demonization of the tree soul of the ancient root tree, the Hive Mind has recorded very detailed information on the soul changes, which is of great help to the insect swarm in understanding and controlling the soul.

The biggest variable at present is the thirteenth-level demon unit.

So far, the Overlord has also found her information from the memory bank collected by the swarm: the legendary mother of demons, Lilith, who caused the first demonic disaster and was sealed in an unknown place by the blue-blooded hero of the year.

She was indeed engaged in a certain sense of... essence exchange with the Genling Ancient Tree, and she did not show any hostility, nor did she hinder the newly born demon units from joining the Hive Mind. But she herself denied all the psionic links that tried to invade her soul, and even refused the master's call request.

However, even so, what happened next made the master completely give up his plan to attack.

On the branch of the ancient root tree, a "fruit" with a diameter of several kilometers fell to the ground under the catalysis of the field. When the fruit shell cracked, a flat, multi-legged Zerg unit that looked like a centipede magnified countless times emerged from the crack.

This is a gigantic unit recorded in the genes of the insect swarm. Its flat body and thick and short body structure are all structures evolved to resist gravity. After the soul extraction materials are in place, these will be used during evolution to be detrimental to combat. Features are eliminated bit by bit.

But that's not the point.

The point is that within this centipede-shaped Zerg unit, there is also a "Gluttonous Soul" filled with thirst for essence.

This Zerg unit has become a standard gluttonous demon.

The demonic power that the swarm has been pursuing for a long time has become the possession of the swarm in a strange ritual.

Ok?

Just when the Overlord tried to observe these new demonized Zerg in more detail through the will of the hive, the mechanical goblins in the hive suddenly activated.

Erin's voice came directly from the mouth of the mechanical goblin: "Don't be immersed in the power of the devil."

"why?"

Erin didn't say much. A series of transformed data and function diagrams were projected in the mechanical goblin's eyes.

The Overlord was able to understand it instantly: this is the soul model of the devil. The special evolution of the insect swarm's soul also has a similar model in the abyss master's brain, but it is formed through the use of psionic energy and neural detection, coupled with the specialization of the brain area. It’s something close to a “feel” rather than a rigorous mathematical model.

After several function changes, a small area in the model was highlighted.

The Lord couldn't help but frown. There was an abnormal area in the demon's soul model. Compared with other parts of the soul model, it was too regular. It felt like a few acres of rice fields suddenly appearing in a wilderness with lush vegetation. Even to the naked eye, From observation, everyone knows that it cannot be a naturally evolved structure.

Erin highlighted this regular area: "The structure of this part of the devil's soul is too organized and has traces of intelligent design."

"What is the function of this part of the soul structure?" the Lord asked solemnly.

"The goblins have not been able to completely decipher it so far. They can only confirm that it is related to the contract."

contract? The Overlord immediately became alert: Is there a backdoor in Demon's Souls? Or to go even further, the demon species may have been controlled and guided by some kind of existence from the beginning of its birth...

After a long time, the Lord spoke again: "I remember that this is not the first time you have reminded me of similar problems."

The Overlord clearly remembered that when the insects captured the god alive for the first time, Erin warned her with similar words, telling herself not to establish direct contact with the stars (

"Yes," Erin nodded, "there are signs of similar intelligent design in the soul structures of the stars."

"Same as the devil?"

"The results are similar, but the ideas and styles are very different. The abnormal areas in Star Soul are more obvious." Erin explained. It is precisely because of this discovery that the goblins at the time would rather sacrifice the near for the far, and use the Key of Truth to interfere with the superconscious body of the world to deflect starlight, rather than directly control the stars.

The Lord fell silent.

Gods are the backbone of the order side; demons are the darlings of the chaos side. But they are all pawns of some kind of existence...

The water in the crystal wall system seemed to be deeper than I expected.

Demons are no better than any of the essences that were previously incorporated into the swarm.

The contract power of the Demon Soul will naturally connect all the demon units in the swarm to each other, allowing them to form an independent and special "whirlpool" in the field of the Hive Will, or it can also be called a "faction".

Of course, this kind of "faction" is very common in the insect swarm, and it is also part of the dominance of the Overlord. Each high-level command unit will have its own independent vortex and faction.

However, if these demonic units account for too much of the Hive Will, or even become part of the Overlord's Will, it is not impossible for them to riot together, tear apart the insect swarm, or even kill the Overlord once they receive a "call".

In fact, this is also the most likely method to severely damage the insect swarm, other than using absolute violence to kill the Overlord from both the physical and spiritual levels.

However, although there are some risks, this does not mean that the master will give up the power of the devil.

He couldn't give up. The desire for essence was the most fanatical instinct of the insect swarm. Preventing the insect swarm from asking for essence was like a person stopping his own breathing and heartbeat. Even if he succeeded, it would cause great damage to the insect swarm.

Consider that Demon Souls require a long development cycle compared to insect swarms; they require a large amount of material stimulation, or specific desires inspired by spiritual guidance, and at some point, they must devour each other to successfully advance. The Overmind also doesn't think Demon Souls will become too prevalent among the Swarm.

What's more, even if the insect swarm is really completely infiltrated by the Demon Soul, the worst possible outcome is to use psionic energy to cleanse the entire insect swarm at the cost of one's own death. Before death, one can catch suitable natives and transform and support them into qualified subordinates. One master.

No matter what, if you can take this opportunity to completely eat up the devil's essence. A fourth alien faction will appear in the swarm - the demonic swarm.

The previous three are: the swarm of life insects that evolved by absorbing the essence of the elves, the tree of life, and the tree herders, and is currently led by Mota.

Under the influence of the out-of-control twisted soul, the mutated insect swarm was restrained by the clamp.

As well as the Insect Cult composed of infected gods and various infected high-level blue bloods, currently under the guidance of Big Ball One.

Speaking of which, just a few minutes ago, the Lord received news from Big Ball No. 1.

The Insect Cult seems to have found news about the key essence, Eleanor...

…………

at the same time.

Cyrodiil world group.

Surrounded by several waiters, Eleanor suddenly covered her forehead.

She saw something very bad:

Fire and lava intertwined with the overwhelming brown and purple. After the color faded, a group of ferocious insect beasts burning with magic fire ran across the wilderness.

Demons and insect swarms actually combined...

"Misfortunes never come singly..."
