Zerg in the crystal wall world

Artificial World

Dominate the cavity

Eleanor appears.

"Welcome back." The Lord's slightly relieved voice sounded in her heart.

Just now, the Overlord did not actively interfere with her mind: for example, amplifying her resentment, distorting her sense of belonging to humans, and weakening her independent thinking...

During her encounter with a Tier 13 unit, Eleanor did not lose control, nor did she show any signs of "waking up".

It can basically be confirmed that Eleanor has completely changed her mind.

It is not easy to convince a twelfth-order unit.

In addition to Eleanor's revengeful mentality caused by her own miserable experience and the reality that the swarm cannot be eliminated, there is another very important point:

"Don't forget your promise," Eleanor emphasized.

"Of course." The Overlord replied briskly.

The promise is also simple: not to exterminate human beings.

The request was not high. She did not even ask the Zerg not to carry out the massacre. She just hoped to preserve the bloodline.

But in other worlds, this would be impossible.

Because human genes are too low-level and contain no essence worth using, they have no use other than digesting their flesh and blood to extract biomass.

Even if the Overmind restrains the Zerg from exterminating humans, they will not be able to survive for long in the Zerg hive ecology.

But now it’s different, the creatures of the Crystal Wall system have the irreplaceable advantage of “soul”.

In a broad sense, humans are inherently valuable because they have the gift of "fighting spirit" to adjust the strength of their own souls.

It became possible for humans to join the insect swarm.

"As long as you can find a place for humans among the insect swarm, it won't be a problem for thousands of generations to come."

This is not an exaggeration. Although the swarm is constantly evolving, there is actually very little replacement of "troops" in the swarm.

To give a simple example:

Dune runners from Guzgash.

Because of its simple genes and greedy and ferocious characteristics, it was chosen by the Zerg and underwent a series of mutations and modifications to become the current Zerglings that are responsible for battlefield breakthroughs.

Later, the Zerg found a group in the universe with simpler and more ferocious genes than the original Dune Runners.

However, the Zerg's attitude towards them is not to replace the Zerglings, but to absorb their essence and strengthen the Zerglings.

The best they could do was create a mutated population of springtails, seal it in a gene chain, and use it in some special battlefields.

Because it would take a lot of resources to transform an assault unit from scratch, there would also be problems when transplanting the various specialized mutations that had long been mature for Zerglings to the new unit.

This is the case now.

New world, new power, new ecological niche.

As long as you can occupy a position, you can almost pass it on forever with the swarm.

Mota successfully transformed the elves into the Queen of the Nest, and it has mutated all the way to the present day. Even if the subsequent swarms of insects find species that are closer to nature, they cannot shake the Queen of the Nest's position.

As long as Eleanor can find a suitable "ecological niche" for humans in the swarm, humans can become part of the swarm! With the development of the swarm, it will be passed down for thousands of generations!

And this ecological niche has now become increasingly clear: the twisted node unit.

However, even though Eleanor has crossed the thirteenth level, the real big cycle is still far from being established.

Compared with the current size of the Zerg swarm, it is a huge project.

Because only souls above level 8 can distort reality. To the Zerg, only souls above level 8 are valuable.

But even now, with the "Animus Center" activating the inherited memories within the soul, the output of high-level souls in the Zerg is still very limited compared to the huge number of basic Zerg troops.

Currently, except for a few heroic units, all others can only possess distortion power for a short period of time through "Soul Burning".

This causes the "distortion force" to be extremely unstable within the hive mind.

The so-called big cycle, at the operational level, is to deliver the ignited soul to each Zerg unit, and immediately replenish it with a new soul before it dissipates.

Through the three links of producing souls, igniting souls, and transporting souls, it is ensured that each "soul-using unit" can always be loaded with one or more souls.

According to the design of the Lord.

Once a hive has established a soul abyss, it can produce different types of basic souls such as "anti-distortion", "elemental affinity", "strength enhancement", "speed enhancement"... according to different instructions from the commander.

Then it passes through the node creatures, ignites the soul, and transmits the distorted power to each soul-using unit through the psionic network.

Humans who possess the talent for fighting spirit are naturally the best prototypes of node creatures.

For example, in Eleanor's case, every moment, hundreds of millions of souls pass through her body, ignite, and are transported to lower-level node units through the network.

There are mainly two problems we are facing now.

One is the number of high-order nodes. Currently there is only one Eleanor, which cannot complete the high-level scheduling of the distortion force.

It is also necessary to further understand the "Knight King Essence" and obtain the ability to produce high-level nodes. Or directly capture high-level humans who take the "fighting spirit route" for transformation.

The other is how to twist the twisting force composed of trillions of souls into a combined force and increase the twisting force to the thirteenth level.

The core of this project is the infected prototype, and most of the computing power of the truth machine is spent on it.

The route is clear and success is only a matter of time.

The current master began to study another problem:

As the power of distortion joins the hive mind and the great plague gradually bears fruit.

The Hive Mind's available psionic energy began to increase further, and the Overmind discovered another quality of the Void Shield.

The "thickness" of the void shield is exponentially related to the space inside it.

This trait has actually been revealed long ago.

For example, the Overlord's stomach could expand inward to a very large size under the effect of the Void Shield, making it easier for the Overlord to pull the opponent into his body to fight.

But recently he discovered that if the void shield becomes thick enough, its internal space begins to tend towards "infinity".

That's interesting.

You have to know that psionic energy and soul have a corresponding relationship, and even the distortion power is more comprehensive.

With a discount on what psionic energy can do, distortion power can basically do the same.

When the domain becomes powerful enough, it is estimated that a similar situation will occur, that is, by distorting the space without limit, an infinite space will be created.

In addition, the crystal wall system is not conserved at the energy and material levels. As long as the element cycle is established, the enclosed space will no longer need to rely on external material input for self-sustaining.

According to this inference, every level 14 unit can create its own "micro-universe" that is completely isolated from the outside world...

The master suddenly understood where the legendary ancient gods had gone.
