…………

The life force activation organ that was previously nicknamed the "heart of the swarm" by the Overlord has been completely reborn into a building unit.

In the past few days, the Overlord has been building hatcheries in various places in the cave.

Now only the Flesh Abyss branch base in the underground world is left.

The hatchery here is quite special. The nervous and circulatory systems are connected to the flesh and blood abyss. The effect of the parasitic heart will inevitably increase on the enemies of the insect swarm.

The Overlord is worried that activating the life force will cause unpredictable changes in the Flesh Abyss.

So we first let the hatchery run at full capacity for a week, so we had enough troops. After naming the "neural tentacles", "reticular center", "nervous energy burst" and other technologies in the neurological field one after another, the master began to incubate the parasitic heart.

The Overlord did not choose the hatchery as the host building for the parasitic heart.

The Flesh Abyss also requires the suppression of hatcheries. If one hatchery is cocooned rashly, it may lead to a reduction in the suppression force at the far end of the creep coverage area. It will also break the balance between the three hatcheries, thereby affecting the nerves of the entire creep. The catch was biased.

After comprehensive consideration, the Overlord built the parasitic core on the Babel tube in the center of the carpet coverage area.

For this reason, the master specially modified the circulatory systems of the three hatcheries, connecting them into a whole with the Babel worm tube as the core, and established a vascular hub on the Babel worm tube.

Because it can rely on the host's blood vessels and some muscles, and is blessed by life force, the incubation time of the parasitic heart is shorter than that of any other building, and it will break out of the cocoon in a short while.

But until then.

The Lord contacted Eral specifically: "Old man, we haven't talked for a while."

Eral made no reply.

"Don't worry, I won't hypnotize you this time. I just want you to enjoy a "visual feast" with me."

The Overlord said, connecting Eral's vision to the eyes of a king insect in the Flesh Abyss Territory.

This allowed him to watch the entire process of the insects activating their vitality from mid-air.

Snap~ The cocoon shatters.

On the outer wall of the Babelworm tube, a circular, irregular muscle mass like a tumor began to pulse slowly.

The parasitic heart essentially replaces the role of the heart tree: integrating the free life force in a natural ecology.

Flesh Abyss, a twisted creature with eleventh level soul strength, known for its regeneration and infinite proliferation.

Zerg, a species from the stars, the limit of flesh and body, the representative of "pure form", a natural disaster that devours all things.

The two blend with each other to form an unprecedentedly lush ecology in the world.

At the moment of heartbeat, a dazzling green glow rose into the sky, and green flames rose from all the insect swarm units. Even through the thick spore dust and the walls of the dome, the carnivorous wasp's nest is reflected.

The Overlord even felt that his psionic energy had improved a lot, which meant that the vital signs of the zerg organizations in the area covered by the parasitic heart had increased, making them account for a considerable proportion of the entire swarm.

Under the influence of the heart tree gene. The originally straight insect tube began to stretch out branch-like tentacles and bone spurs in all directions, coupled with the dazzling green flames, it really looked like a big tree with lush leaves.

"It's so beautiful..." Even someone as cold and firm as Eral couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart when he saw this.

But the master wanted to curse in his heart.

Life force is not a force bound to light. Such blazing flames can only mean one thing - they are wasted.

Carefully sensing the status of the insect swarm units, the Overlord discovered that their efficiency had only increased by about 200%, and all the excess life force was spilled out. Although the increase rate has exceeded that of the Dragon and Lion Territory, which has the most prosperous heart trees, it is still far from the master's psychological expectations.

However, the master did not show his disappointment.

Instead, he spoke to Eral quietly: "By joining the insect swarm, your mother tree can become like this."

The Overlord didn't lie, Eral knew that.

As long as the elves spawn enough and advanced enough "tree spirits", the insect swarm can completely recreate the grand scene here.

Even if it does not violate their natural laws and does not use monsters like tree spirits as the basis of the ecology, just the efficient energy cycle of the insect swarm is enough to increase the life force around the Tree of Life by several levels...

"Think about it, your mother tree is located in such a lush and lush place, spreading its branches wantonly, with endless life force for it to squander, what a beautiful thing it is~"

Eral's expression visibly twitched twice.

In fact, elves are generally not good at hiding their emotions.

It's just that through their long lifespan and practice of the natural way, they have developed a calm mind. Something really happened that surprised them, and their expressions were more lively than anyone else's.

"Completely let go of your mind and welcome all this with the mother tree..." As the master spoke, there was already a trace of psionic energy.

Eral's body transformation has long been completed, and his blood and instinct have long begun to scream for him to join the insect swarm. The Overmind has long been able to forcefully hypnotize Eral, and can also pull him into the Hive Mind and control his body and mind through a mind-coupling method.

But that last step, to completely defeat his ego, erase the personality of "Elar", and make him a member of the insect swarm from the inside out, has never been achieved. This is related to Eral's will to resist; it is also related to the master's insufficient level of psionic energy, and his desire to retain Eral's "elf-like way of thinking" and his unwillingness to over-modify his brain.

"No!" Eral finally said.

This was the first time he spoke under his own will since he revealed the nature of his master on the day he was captured.

"You regard all things in the world as your own food. You have no respect for life at all. I can't hear anything in your declaration except greed." Eral said almost word by word, "The mother tree must not Leave it to a being like you! I will never surrender to you."

"If you don't give in, you won't give in. It makes me look like a villain." The master replied unconsciously, and his thoughts became lowered again: "Elal, I appreciate your will and the resistance you are making now. And I sincerely hope that you will abandon all these beautiful qualities and join the embrace of the insect swarm..."

The dominant consciousness leaves.

Eral immediately seemed to have drained all his strength, lowered his head and began to tremble. This had nothing to do with physical consumption, but purely mental exhaustion: He was more powerful, and he didn’t know if he could still survive when He came again. Save your soul...
