Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 369 Dimension Collapse

Regarding higher-level applications of psychic energy, the native creatures in the new universe are the best example.

Of course, they are just research materials. What is generated by this kind of natural evolution often cannot be used as the final result of the Zerg. It can only provide a proven feasible idea for the Zerg's spiritualization.

Only under certain circumstances, the Zerg will directly clone and utilize it. This is often a stopgap measure when better transformation cannot be carried out.

In order to cope with the increasingly powerful magical power of the undead, Sass began to further improve the Zerg psionic units.

The insect swarm should also have power that rivals the opponent. Whether it is psychic "filtering" or other means, it must always come in handy.

It is worth mentioning that there are likely to be some unknown changes in the absorption of psychic creatures "with bones" by these undead.

They are all species that contain powerful spiritual energy. For the Zerg spiritual units, the opponent really has very little interest. Since the war started for so long, there is no record of any related devouring.

This shows that the strengthening of these undead is not only closely related to spiritual energy, but also closely related to the existence of spiritual energy in these native creatures of the new universe.

And this is another secret that is likely to be useful to the Zerg. After the war, it will be explored as a key research direction.

As for now, the Zerg has almost general scientific research power, and they are conducting research on breaking the dimensional barrier together with Mira. This can be regarded as the top priority that the Zerg faces now besides the new space war, regardless of the investment. The resources and effort are both massive.

Because he personally participated in it, it is clear to what extent this experiment has been carried out.

The Zerg and Mira can actually disturb the dimensions and force them to decay towards lower dimensions as much as possible. In theory, this is a very likely means to break the dimensional barrier, and all current experimental results point to this conclusion. .

Therefore, both the Zerg and Mira are now working hard in this direction, trying to complete the historic stage of breaking through the dimensional barrier and moving towards more universes in one fell swoop.

This is in parallel with the war between the new universe and the undead. As the saying goes, don't reciprocate. Zero's goal is to have the conditions to truly counterattack the opponent after solving the internal threats within the Zerg's sphere of influence.

As for those alien beasts that seemed to be invincible in front of the insect swarm, they have now become the magical biological materials of the insect swarm and Mira Research Station, and have long been cleaned up.

To be on the safe side, Zero even tried to conduct a blanket search in the places they had visited. Even if there was no threat, he did not want these magical creatures to take root and grow in the real universe.

Fortunately, the other party does not seem to have any breeding behavior at all, at least not found in the Zerg search. Nowadays, the alien beasts in the main universe have completely disappeared. Zero has eliminated all the alien beast units that were originally tracked by the Zerg, and no one was left behind.

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

The war between the Zerg and the undead has entered a fever pitch. Here, even the Zerg psychic units have difficulty ensuring their own safety, because although the opponent is still further shrinking in number, their group combat power has not suffered much loss. On the contrary, it became much stronger!

Before the Zerg elite units hatched by Sass joined the battlefield, tens of thousands of high-level psychic units chose to free themselves at the last moment of the battle in order to prevent the psychic units from becoming a supplement to the opponent's combat power.

As for the larger number of ordinary high-energy units, the casualties were already countless. Hundreds of thousands of insect hive motherships are frantically producing powerful insect species with the support of resources from the main universe. This gradually makes the insect race more abundant in number, until it finally has an absolute advantage.

Unfortunately, since there is no ability to suppress the enemy's undead summoners, every time the encirclement causes a batch of casualties to the opponent's ordinary units, they will be broken out by the opponent.

Correspondingly, the combat power of this dwindling number of undead is getting stronger and stronger!

The task of encircling the insect swarm is no longer to try to eliminate all the opponents, but to delay the opponent's transfer as much as possible, and at the same time try to cause damage to the opponent.

The purpose is just to give Sass time to re-create truly elite psychic units and join the battlefield to deal with these increasingly powerful individuals.

In Zerg 4799, with the birth of another new brainworm in the new universe, the Zerg also ushered in the first advanced psychic unit in history.

It has been endowed with massive resources and possesses absolutely powerful long-range psychic attacks. If placed on a frontal battlefield, none of the millions of undead summoners can ignore its attack.

On the offensive side, it can be said to have applied all the ways the Zerg can think of to enhance their attack capabilities, but the opposite is a weak defense.

It doesn't even have the ability to defend against anti-matter attacks, it's completely brittle.

But when it was hatched, it was not originally designed to charge into battle. Its positioning was to rely on its own advantages to concentrate its power on long-range destroyers of those powerful summoners of the undead!

As for defense, other Zerg units will naturally help them withstand it.

After the bug came out and the completed experiment became fully feasible, the situation of the war quietly changed again.

Ordinary high-energy units are still performing their original missions, trying to prevent the enemy's rapid maneuvers as much as possible, and eventually grow to a level that they cannot cope with.

On the battlefield, a group of long-range psychic combat units have appeared. Under the desperate cover of the insect swarm, they use powerful and concentrated psychic attacks to carry out fixed-point sniping against the powerful beings among the undead!

The Summoners of the Undead, which had been strengthened again and again, and it was difficult for ordinary high-energy units to directly cause casualties to them, once again began to decrease significantly in number. Under the desperate struggle of the Zerg, the opponent's strengthening speed has obviously been unable to keep up with the Zerg's response speed. This is destined to make their situation more and more dangerous as the Zerg swarm continues to increase their strength!

………………

Ten months passed in a hurry in the real universe, but in the new universe, two years have passed quietly.

In the past six months, Sass has caused more than five-digit casualties to the undead summoners who were protected inside by the undead summons!

Even compared to the opponent's still huge size, this is not a huge number, but in the past six months, no undead has been able to evolve to the level of these dead units. This means that the opponent's high-end combat power has shown a trend of falling instead of rising!

Without new forces to supplement it, its own resistance to progress is increasing. If we can make a clear comparison of the current battlefield data, we can find that the opponent's overall combat power has stopped rising continuously in the past six months, while the number of combat units invested by the Zerg continues to increase.

This is the difference between source water and rootless duckweed, even though both are equally famous for their huge quantities.

But the other party obviously didn't think so. The undead have far higher intelligence than the alien beasts and insects. After judging that the situation had changed, in Zerg 4806, the other party did something that made Zero change. The act of thinking.

Those summoners of the undead, in the new universe, once again launched the summons of the undead, and this time the other party was obviously much more skilled, and they did not hide it as they did in the real universe. The whole process was very fast, and when zero attention was paid, By the time the number of ordinary undead began to increase crazily, this time the summoning of the undead had ended, and the other party once again added hundreds of billions of ordinary undead individuals!

Obviously, the opponent is not a real rootless zombie. They can still continue to replenish their own numbers during the war. Even if these ordinary undead are no longer an invincible opponent in front of the high-energy Zerg units, if they can always launch summons, If it does, it means never-ending troubles. It is difficult to eradicate them with the power of the Zerg. Once these undead souls are allowed to gain a foothold in the new universe, this place may really become their paradise!

Of course, this was just Zero's first reaction when he discovered this change. Soon he realized that the reason why the other party launched the summons under such circumstances meant that the enemy could not have the ability to infinitely summon. It must need These summoners paid something.

On the other hand, the opponent's urgent summons also truly told the insect swarm that their attacks had made the opponent feel a great threat, so much so that the opponent had to summon the undead to try to break the situation even if it had to pay a certain price.

To be honest, this is not without any use. With such a huge number of enemies, it is difficult for the swarm to completely track the enemy's tracks. When breaking through, some enemy units will inevitably escape the zerg's sight.

Once these undead wander into an area with a large number of native creatures, judging from the behavior of those creatures in asking and asking for the undead, it only takes a short time for them to grow to a quite terrifying level!

Zero has to guard against this.

Fortunately, although the new universe is equally vast, it still has its boundaries after all, and the Zerg have now at least substantially occupied more than one-tenth of the area here. More explorers are expanding their horizons for Zero here. They are all specially designed individuals, whose only purpose in life is to project the influence of the Hive Mind to every corner, so that all enemies can't hide.

In the real universe, only extremely important areas, such as those near the passage to the new universe, or areas inhabited by intelligent Zerg races, have this kind of treatment. If you want to complete this kind of vision control in the entire universe, then It is almost impossible. The void cosmic belt that spans millions and millions of light-years can never be truly fully controlled, even if it is the Zerg that does this.

Only in the new universe, in order to prevent the endless growth of the undead, Sass had to carry out this kind of construction near every basically discovered native biological colony regardless of cost.

It still has an effect. At least in the one-tenth of the area controlled by the Zerg and it is still expanding, it has eliminated nearly 200,000 ordinary undead units that were left alone.

The same is true today. Sass is building an "intelligence network" in leaps and bounds to avoid the possibility of the undead becoming unmanageable.

But no matter what, this round of summons from the opponent has indeed increased the difficulty of the Zerg's defense and encirclement and suppression. It is a positive feedback that makes Sass have to consider investing more costs to solve the problem.

Zero saw everything in his eyes, but in the end he didn't react too much. If that was all, the opponent would be nothing more than a trapped beast still fighting. The theoretical possibility of reversing the situation of the battle could be almost ignored.

With a huge real universe and almost unlimited material and energy support, the defeat of the undead is just a matter of time. The best outcome is just to become a special predator in the new universe, and with the insects If the group develops here, sooner or later it will be completely wiped out.

Of course, this may take a lot of time. After fierce resistance from the enemy and the ability to summon at an unknown cost, it is unknown for hundreds or even thousands of years.

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

When Zero confirmed that there would be no more changes in the war in the new universe, he once again set his sights on the dimensional barrier in the real universe.

This time, it is the sixth large-scale verification event after the previous experiment that successfully brought a ripple to the dimensional barrier.

There were various problems in the previous five times. Thanks to the efforts of Mira and the Zerg scientific research team, each time there was significant progress compared to the last time.

In addition to the verification experiments, other conventional experiments have been carried out countless times. Countless data have been collected. Coupled with the exact observation of the dimensional change process in the real universe, Mira has made extremely rapid progress.

This verification experiment can be said to have placed a lot of expectations on the Zerg and Mira, because theoretically, it has solved most of the problems exposed before. If no new problems arise, it will definitely be able to achieve Important progress!

…………

Dimensional collapse has happened more than once in front of the Zerg, and each time it is accompanied by an extremely strong release of energy. At a certain moment, the energy released by a very small range of dimensional changes is even more violent than a star. Ten thousand times!

And this time the dimensional collapse caused by the Mira experiment immediately swallowed up all objects within 200 million kilometers, including Zerg psychic units and all observation instruments and insect species!

Due to the violent spatial changes, the insect swarm was unable to conduct any faster-than-light voyage at all, and could only allow an unprecedentedly huge energy source to devour itself at the speed of light.
