Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 368 Ripples

The Zerg war in the new universe is related to the final direction of this unknown space invasion. Therefore, even if he feels that he has a chance to win, Zero has been paying attention.

The undead's obsession with the new universe obviously exceeds their need for the main universe. Here, they seem to not care about their own losses at all, and want to obtain more spiritual energy no matter what.

From an objective point of view, this is not cost-effective, because the benefits they obtain per unit time are decreasing, but their own damage is increasing!

Obviously, the attraction of spiritual energy to them is strong enough to make those summoners of the undead willing to pay such a heavy price.

But Zero is happy to see this kind of behavior from his enemy. The Zerg's results are soaring. Although the opponent's group is also huge, over the past few decades, the Zerg has basically understood the opponent's attack methods and made targeted improvements.

At this point in time, the insect swarm was no longer afraid of the opponent's attacks.

The war in the new universe has undoubtedly slowed down the continued development of the Zerg here, but it is obvious that the elimination of the undead is more important than development at this time.

Zero could feel that Mira was unexpectedly interested in this invasion and confrontation of magical creatures. Not only did she actively seek to join the war, but she was even trying to break through the dimensional barrier with the cooperation of the Zerg.

Logically speaking, in this war that has nothing to do with it, what it deserves has been obtained from the Zerg through transactions one after another.

Of course, for a being like it, there is nothing wrong with being curious about the unknown. With its almost infinite lifespan and the fact that there are not many things in the real universe that can make it feel interesting, it suddenly discovered a brand new System, wanting to figure it out is indeed a normal reaction.

Zero is actually not that curious about its purpose. After all, its purpose is the same as that of the Zerg on many levels, and the two are still in close cooperation. The benefits this cooperation brings to both parties cannot be underestimated. interests related.

It can even be said that through such mutual cooperation, a substantial alliance has been formed between Mira and the Zerg, so although it feels a little strange, Zero does not have any intention to delve into it, and even directly participates in it as much as possible provide help.

Zero is of course defensive about Mira. Cooperation is cooperation, and there must be no less precautions.

Apart from anything else, even though the war in the new universe is in full swing now, when the Zerg race is the most lacking of psychic units, there are still nearly 20 million high-energy insect species gathered near the entrance and exit of the passage between the real universe and the new universe. They represent the most powerful biotechnology crystallization of the Zerg today, but they did not participate in the war. Instead, they gathered here. For what reason, it is self-evident.

He didn't even mean to hide this. In the dark, there were countless insect swarms waiting for attack instructions that might appear at any time.

At this critical moment, the situation seems to be great, but Zero has actually prepared for the worst.

………………

This precautionary strategy did not work. Mira did not give the Zerg a counterattack at this critical juncture, which was undoubtedly a good thing. At least in Zero's mind, the previous suspicion of it was greatly reduced.

Since things have happened, there will always be traces to follow. The enemy knows so much about the real universe and the Zerg race. There cannot be no reason. But in fact, there are many possibilities for this reason, and it cannot be determined specifically. Zero is simply doubting every possibility equally within reason.

Although he was prepared for the worst, Zero actually breathed a sigh of relief after basically confirming Mira's position.

It has to be admitted that Mira is very difficult to deal with. If it stands on the opposite side of the Zerg, the threat of all the races that invaded this time may not be as great as it.

.......................................

In Zerg 4785, the Zerg swarm found the entrance to the other party's invasion of the new universe in the sub-dimensional passage. It was not very conspicuous, just like an ordinary wormhole passage, and there were no undead at all.

But under the temptation of the huge base of the Zerg, it is really simple to know where it leads. The Hive Mind connects the inside and outside, and Zero knows everything wherever the Zerg passes.

At this point, in terms of strategy, the insect swarm has cut off the retreat of the undead.

These visitors from different spaces, attracted and strengthened by spiritual energy, lost their last sanity. They had almost no defense, and they wandered around the new universe under the attack pressure of the insect swarms, killing one after another and group after group. A group of psychic creatures become nutrients for his strengthening.

At the same time, their number is getting smaller and smaller, although the magic intensity of those summoners has also reached a terrifying level.

Under the constant pursuit and fighting of the swarms, there are only less than 100 billion ordinary undead summons left. Of course, this is still a terrifying number, but it has shrunk compared to the peak period of the undead. Close to three quarters!

Of course, their magic strength is also different from what it was back then. According to Sasse's estimation, their comprehensive combat capabilities have increased by at least five times!

They are no longer "will-o'-the-wisp skeletons" with low combat effectiveness. The powerful ones among them even have the power to destroy the Zerg psychic encirclement and suppression team!

Correspondingly, there are those more powerful summoners of the undead. They are the objects that this group of undead creatures are sworn to protect in the nearly thirty years of war in the new universe. The loss of these summoners is less than one-eighth, and there are still at least six million individuals in existence today.

And the intensity of their undead magic gives Zero the feeling that it is definitely more powerful than the sum of the tens of billions of ordinary undead scattered around, plundering and fighting in the darkness!

During the battle, almost all of these undead have changed their attack methods. I still remember that when the real universe just broke through the passage, the fighting methods used by these undead had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

To put it simply, it has completed the gorgeous transformation from melee undead to long-range necromancer. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult for the insect swarm to cause huge damage to them.

It is worth mentioning that Zero obtained some application methods of "magic technology" from the magical civilization on the fourth battlefield. Of course, the Zerg did not have the foundation to use these weapons. Magic is not a force that the Zerg can directly use. .

But there is no doubt that ideas such as magic cannons are feasible. From this point of view, the magic civilization that advocates science is more advanced than the undead, but the trouble it causes to the Zerg is far less than the undead.

Despite decades of encirclement, interception, and strategic encirclement and suppression, Zero actually felt that the opponent's overall combat power had not decreased due to the sharp reduction in numbers, but had become stronger!

But this is a necessary process, and the Zerg cannot stop it. Correspondingly, the combat power assembled by the Zerg is equally luxurious. Forty million new psychic units are directly involved in the frontal attack, and countless high-energy units are rushing in crazily. Behind them, just full-time The number of hive motherships used to hatch high-energy units is 700,000! These motherships consume countless materials every moment, and sometimes even the materials transported from the real universe and the Zhuna used to incubate high-energy units cannot keep up with the demand.

Of course, without Zhuna, the Zerg can also achieve a weakened version of the effect by using antimatter annihilation for high-energy compression. This is also a reminder from the "Zhuna Weapon", which gives the Zerg a steady stream of combat power that can pose a threat to the opponent. unit.

…………

The scale of this war is rare even in the history of the development of the Zerg. Apart from Mira, the only people who have fought fiercely with the Zerg for more than thirty years and still have the strength to not fall completely at a disadvantage are the undead. To this extent.

Maybe letting those magical bugs in can do it, but they have no chance at all.

Nowadays, Mira is conducting dimensional experiments in front of them, trying to crack the natural defense capabilities of these passages, but the other party can only watch, unable to do anything.

…………

Speaking of Mira's experiment, Zero has seen the research process of the Zerg scientific research team over the years.

To be honest, even though he had overestimated Mira's ability as much as possible, Zero was still a little stunned by the power shown by the other party in the scientific research process.

The contribution that the Zerg brainworms and many of the top scientific researchers from various civilizations who participated in the study made in this research process on dimensional barriers were probably to provide some possible feasible directions. Mira herself can quickly complete thinking and modeling in this direction and even directly conduct experiments.

It seems that it is indeed doing this very seriously. Such an ability is that even if the Zerg concentrates on developing the intelligent technology of intelligent civilization, coupled with the auxiliary computing of the Hive Will, I am afraid it can only be compared to it.

Over the years, Mira has obviously carried out a "revolution" on herself. While the Zerg is progressing, it is also rapidly strengthening itself.

Of course, considering the current situation, this is a good thing.

The main combat power of the Zerg is now contained by the undead. It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, every psychic unit will be good steel that needs to be used on the blade for Zero.

He also hopes that the insect swarm can break through this dimensional barrier so that he can try to counterattack. He has caused threats and troubles to the insect race for such a long time. If he cannot cause them real life-threatening harm, ask yourself, no matter how peaceful Zero is, he cannot Let go of all grudges with the other party.

...............

In Zerg 4789, Mira once again conducted experiments on the first battlefield. The silent energy burst and the chain reaction caused by dimensional collapse caused "ripples" to appear in the fragile space of the entire universe. What was exposed was A large number of spatial anomalies appeared, and within the scope of influence, all jumping activities, whether long-distance or short-distance maneuvers, were forced to stop.

And that's just the aftermath.

In the center of the experimental location, the observation system jointly deployed by Mira and the Zerg detected an astonishing scene.

The dimensional collapse led by Mira seemed to have caused a chain reaction at that moment, and the direct result was that within that very short period of time, this so-called dimensional barrier also rippled!

Of course, the "ripple" mentioned here is actually a phenomenon that cannot stabilize its own dimension. It also seems to have a tendency to fall to lower latitudes.

But that was only that moment. It quickly stabilized, as if nothing had happened, but the sudden spike in the value on the recording system showed everything.

Mira did not seem to have any emotions because of this development. In fact, it seemed that it should not have this kind of "useless data flow" that is common in intelligent life. It quickly proposed a new plan based on the experimental data and invested in it. In the process of improvement, this makes it difficult for a group of slightly excited brainworms and individuals of intelligent races to adapt to its rhythm.

But everything is developing in a good direction. In the new universe, for the first time, the insect swarm completed the strategic encirclement of the undead, even though the other party broke out with its strong combat power shortly afterwards, and accompanied the insect swarm to cause There were a lot of casualties, but as the number of Zerg exploded, Sars completed the strategic encirclement of the enemy time and time again. Each time the time to be broken through was increasing, and each time the opponent paid more for breaking through!

Zero estimates suggest that when the opponent is no longer able to break through one day, everything will enter a countdown. The opponent is now able to cause huge casualties to the Zerg because of its strong individual strength and constant wandering. Characteristics, but with the establishment and movement of the insect nest mothership, insect swarms are coming from all directions, constantly trying to establish a complete encirclement.

Even if the Zerg have paid a huge price for this, and even the deaths of psychic units are counted in hundreds of thousands, it is all worth it. This is a loss that should be paid to achieve the strategic goal.

However, as the war progressed, there was one thing that made Zero start to worry.

Although the overall number is constantly decreasing, a small group of unstoppable opponents has emerged among those undead summoners.

It is difficult to stop, not because the number of Zerg gathered is not enough, but because the effect achieved by their undead magic has made them immune to the attacks of high-energy Zerg units to a certain extent, allowing them to quickly get rid of the encirclement.

If the number of such undead continues to increase, and the opponent's magic strength increases without limit, it is indeed possible that it will cause great trouble to the Zerg's encirclement and suppression.

This is like a targeted "mutation" that is rapidly developing in a direction that is not conducive to war.

Therefore, while the war continues, Sass is also trying to build a more powerful elite psychic insect species to deal with these undead summoners who are constantly strengthening themselves and other possibilities that may be encountered in the future.
