Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 348 Super Body Evolution
The "Void Breeding" group suddenly showed extraordinary synergy, and the evil beast that was going straight to die disappeared, replaced by a "space creature army" that was suspected to have been dispatched.

At first, the various civilizations and intelligent creatures in the galaxy thought it was the "hunter" civilization remotely controlling these "void spawns", but after exhausting all methods and failing to detect any abnormal signals outside the galaxy, they gave up this idea. idea.

Combined with the abnormal "evolution" ability exhibited by "Void Breeds", they finally concluded that "Void Breeds" evolved "wisdom" due to inexplicable reasons.

The biggest difference between intellectual life and pure beasts lies in the word "wisdom". With these two words, groups can form civilizations, and individuals can evolve into "sacred beasts". All complex changes are inseparable from "wisdom". ".

If "Void Breeding Evil" indeed gave birth to wisdom, then this will undoubtedly add many variables to the extermination operation.

However, after a series of speculations and collection of samples, the "far traveler" extracted a kind of nerve cells similar to bee colonies from the brains of several "Void Breeding" corpses, which made the wisdom of "Void Breeding" The form is roughly determined to be somewhat "hive conscious".

Similar to "Pressolin", it is composed of a central consciousness or multiple semi-autonomous central consciousnesses to form a collective consciousness, and the central consciousness will determine the movement of the entire group.

In other words, there may be a "queen"-like existence among these "Void Breeds", controlling other "Void Breeds" in the galaxy.

Based on the possibility of this kind of hive consciousness, the "Assimilation Fighters" responsible for maintaining and researching the "Eggs of the Void" had to step up their efforts to destroy the eggs, lest these eggs be born prematurely due to the influence of the "Eggs of the Void". Even if the vast majority of them are still far from the "hatch critical" state.

In order to encircle and suppress these "Void Breeds", in addition to the unmanned fleet dispatched by Ether Dragon, "Pressolin" and Li Wenyuan, "Farwalker" and "Assimilation Fighter" also joined the encirclement and suppression battle.

At this time, the queen of "Pressolin" also led her warriors, constantly shuttling through the galaxy, looking for the single "Void Breed".

Ever since the "Breeds of the Void" began to gather in groups in a premeditated manner, it was difficult for her to find an opportunity to attack.

If she devotes all her power to the entire group, she might be able to reach a level comparable to the number of "Void Breeds" in this galaxy.

But this time it's not "life and death", she just came here for tentative revenge and to completely clear the nightmare shrouded in genes.

At the beginning, easily eliminating these former enemies really made her feel happy, but as the "Void Breeds" became more and more abnormal, she seemed to recall the painful memory of the massacre of the ethnic group.

She could only keep running between the galaxies, trying to dispel the cloud in her heart.

Suddenly, her sensitive spiritual perception sensed an abnormal spiritual reaction in a galaxy not far away, the scale was not strong, it was about the level of a "Void Spawn".

In the current environment of the galaxy, apart from her and her warriors, only "Void Spawn" can send out this kind of spiritual signal.

In this regard, she also had to admit that "Void Breeds" did have a strange evolutionary ability stronger than them, and even after being tortured by psychic energy for a period of time, they were born with a psychic potential that was sufficient for use.

Although they are still far inferior to them, they will definitely have strong potential over time.

And according to the shared information, the queen knows that the reaction evolution of "Void Breed" is suspected to be able to make other "Void Breeds" evolve similar abilities through some kind of void transmission.

For example, the "false dragon's breath beam" that suddenly appeared, such as the carapace that can resist a certain degree of high temperature, such as the inexplicable spiritual power, all of these have been confirmed by the other "Void Breeds", all the "Void Breeds" Sin" seems to have evolved these abilities.

Considering these circumstances, "Pressolin" also maintained a cautious attitude towards this psychic signal, and first contacted "Far Traveler" whose sensor detection ability is better than hers to confirm whether the psychic signal is behind What's the catch.

But what she didn't expect was that this time the response came quite quickly, almost as soon as she sent the signal, she received the response.

[...No... No... Zi... No abnormality...]

The response seemed to be interrupted, and it was intermittent, but the Queen still roughly understood the meaning. The psychic signal really represented a single "Void Breed".

"As far as I can remember...the nearest ally is 'Farstrider'...the reply is so fast...is it because...there are their sensors nearby?"

Although he hesitated a little for this response, but with the trust in her companions and the recognition of this response signal that only mechanical equipment can send out, Queen "Pressolin" still headed for the destination.

However, after arriving at the place, the queen noticed something was wrong.

The psychic signal still exists, but as the distance approaches, the queen finds that the signal is fixed in a place in the galaxy, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net like a bait.

At this moment, the sense of crisis in the queen's heart suddenly reached its peak. In addition to her keen perception, she also has a strong sixth sense brought by psionic energy. She didn't even need to think about whether the mechanical signal just now was abnormal, and she was ready to turn around and leave this galaxy. .

But in the next moment, a group of "Void Breeds" who didn't know where to hide suddenly appeared, and surrounded the "Pressolin" queen.

They seem to have been ambushing here for a long time, and each of them has a fierce look on their faces. Apart from tyranny, they can also see some kind of greed like seeing delicious food.

——They are still using "presolin" as food, just like they did in the past, and they are obviously guided to set a trap specifically for this purpose to hunt "presolin".

But these were not the focus of the Queen's attention. What shocked the Queen was the extra mechanical parts on these "Void Breeds".

One of the wings has a circuit imprinted on the back, and while the high-speed vibrating wings drive the current to flow, a signal very similar to the communication signal of the "far traveler" is sent out from it.

It uses this method to simulate the unique mechanical signals of mechanical life, and the rest of the "Void Breeds" also have more or less mechanized parts, such as metal heads, mechanical reactors placed outside the body with blood vessels as circuits, Thrusters that replace the tail...

These "Void Breeds" are like synthetic beasts of machinery and creatures, which look strange and full of natural evolution-like biological coordination, as if the mechanical bodies on their bodies were "naturally grown", although Visually disharmonious, but able to achieve physical perfection.

"These guys...had a new evolution?" The queen was extremely shocked by the change in shape of these "Void Breeds".

No one in this galaxy will carry out this kind of "prosthetic transformation" on them, which means that these mechanized organizations are the result of another round of evolution of "Born in the Void".

Although it is not clear what kind of inducement can induce the evolution of "Void Breeds", the queen has not received this news from other people before that, which means that she is the first to discover "Void Breeds" A new form of evil.

"No...you have to pass this news to other people quickly..."

Without any hesitation, Queen "Pressolin" immediately used a psychic link to contact her "Communication Zerg" hidden outside the battlefield.

This special functional individual is specially hidden in imperceptible places such as planets and meteorite belts, and is responsible for acting as a relay station for biological signal transmission, and it is also the queen's backhand for "resurrection".

Each "communication zerg" has independent reproductive organs and specific nerve tissue, which can accommodate the huge consciousness of the queen again. Even if the queen's body dies on the battlefield, as long as the consciousness can be transferred to the zerg before then Even if there is only a part of the body, the queen can be born again.

This is the biotechnology that "Pressolin" was once proud of, and it can take on the functions of an information center and a "resurrection point" at the same time.

But now when she used it again, Queen "Pressolin" felt a tremor in her heart.

When she was in the galaxy, she rarely used this kind of zerg differentiation, and she never used it after leaving the galaxy, because countless generations of queens in the past also used this method to "resurrect", and then they were repeatedly torn apart by "Void Breeds". Break it up and eat it, they enjoy it.

Many queens could no longer endure such pain, and chose to die completely at a certain time, no longer transferring their consciousness, leaving only a small part of the consciousness seeds, with the history of "Pressolin", allowing the Zerg to grow into a new Queen.

And the pain from ancient times seemed to be added to the current queen, making her consciousness of transmitting psychic signals slow down by half a beat.

But she quickly became firm again, discarding the illusions that shouldn't be on her, and passed on the news that "Void Breeds" had evolved again.

The comms zerg began to transmit orders under the influence of psychic energy, and their size was further changed for communication.

A Zerg buried deep inside the meteorite suddenly grew, and granulation sprouted from the ground like a plant seed, and soon formed a "sunflower" fleshy layer on the surface of the meteorite, and began to absorb the light of the stars.

At this time, the meteorite was at its perihelion point, which was the time when the energy absorption efficiency was the highest, and the signal that had been transformed from spiritual energy also erupted and spread in all directions.

And Queen "Pressolin" herself led her warriors to rush towards the "Void Breeds" who came to "hunt" them.

The number of "Void Breeds" in this batch is comparable to them, and it seems that this number is enough to hunt and kill them.

"It's just such a small amount... Are you looking down on us!" Queen "Pressolin"'s violence was also aroused. After farming for a long time, they almost forgot that they actually ate meat.

They are also a group of "reborn" now, and there is absolutely no reason to lose to these "Void Breeds" who have only hatched from their eggs for a long time.

I saw that these "Void Breeds" spewed out a weakened version of the dragon's breath beam from a distance, like a battleship's main gun salvo, coming straight towards "Pressolin".

They may also know that the original acid attack is too hip-stretching, so they use the "dragon breath attack" they have experienced to deal with the enemy.

But the "Pressolins" are fearless. The weakened version of the dragon's breath is naturally not as powerful as the original version, not to mention that it evolved on the way of being "roasted", and the temperature is not too high.

They don't even need to use spiritual energy to deflect these attacks, they can resist them with their bodies.

A fiery burning sensation came from the affected part, but it was only the skin, and the only pain further aroused the viciousness of "Presolin".

At the same time as they were being attacked, their speed increased even further, and they rushed to a position very close to "Void Breeding" in a short while.

Choosing to be born from "Eggs of the Planet" made them huge in size, but it also made them lose most of their long-range attack capabilities. In order to prevent the only long-range attack method from being adapted again by "Void Breeding", Presolin" chose hand-to-hand combat.

And "Born in the Void" didn't seem to expect that these former defeated generals could resist so well, so they also gave up the breath attack and began to fight hand-to-hand.

However, in terms of body structure, "Void Breeds" are not very suitable for hand-to-hand combat. Although they have no limbs like "Pressolin", the mouthparts of "Pressolin"—or jaws, are similar to The beast's protruding up and down bite-like structure, while the front jaw of "Void Breed" is more like a functional ornament, the purpose is to send food into its crab-like mouthparts for easy chewing.

"Presolin" had long planned to return as a "beast" to bite their enemies to death, but these newborn "Void Breeds" obviously did not have this kind of foresight.

After several discussions of hand-to-hand combat, the wings of the mechanical "Void Breeding" were ripped off, and the one with the reactor outside was smashed to pieces. The one with the metal head was even worse, its head was pulled out completely, and it died on the spot.

The "Void Breeds" that have not undergone the evolution of "hand-to-hand combat" are quickly defeated. However, when "Pressolin" is about to continue to kill, one of the "Void Breeds" suddenly froze, viciously Inexplicably, there was a light of wisdom in his eyes.

Just like the intelligent "Void Breed" brought its consciousness to this one, it looked at the queen, and suddenly communicated with the special signal of "Pressolin":

"...Are you Presolin? Although a long time has passed, I still remember your aura..."

"You are actually very similar to us. If it weren't for the good fortune, we might still be allies..."

"But that's all in the past. You don't need to bear the pain of the past, and you won't have eternal enemies."

"If you are willing to join us, then I can share our secret with you, so that you can also have the power of 'super evolution' and at the same time 'ascension' with our master, without suffering from hunger."

This "Void Breed" actually began to persuade the Queen "Pressolin" to turn against her on the spot, and her words were persuasive and seductive, as if she was sure that "Pressolin" could not bear this temptation.

However, how could family hatred be extinguished so easily?
The queen replied to it simply: "Go to hell!" and killed all the remaining "Void Breeds".

Bathed in the blood of these void beings, the queen seemed to feel the call of the dead souls of her people.

She can surrender to anyone, just like "he who knows the current affairs is a hero" when facing pervertedly powerful humans, except for everything related to "hunters", she will never surrender.

This is the last "evolution" of "Pressolin", the humble group called "Refugees".
