Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 75 Mutual Benefit and Symbiosis (please read)

"what?"

Yuan found that a new consciousness was connected in the leader's consciousness, and he was still a little confused after coming in.

After all, the wisdom displayed by Thetis was already possessed by a blood relative in the awakening stage.

"Isn't it the awakening stage that also possesses such high intelligence? Did Tiaz's blood relatives mainly evolve in the brain?"

Yuan glanced at Thetis, who was stagnant in place, and felt that this was the evolution of Thetis.

From the surface of Thetis, if one ignores the missing fish scales, one cannot see any changes in Thetis at all, nor can one see anything wrong with Thetis' body.

But Thetis herself knew that she had become that kind of monster now.

Even, because the sea tribe that eats is from Yuan's ethnic group, there is a strange connection between Thetis and Yuan.

This connection is similar to the one between Yuan and Fuji.But it is not the relationship between leaders and blood relatives in the ethnic group, but the cooperative relationship in the ethnic ecosystem.

It's just that Thetis is neither a producer nor a consumer nor a decomposer.

Thetis is symbiotic.

She now became a special blood relative.

Thetis has no ethnic group. She is attached to Yuan's ethnic group. She can call Yuan her leader, but she can also refuse Yuan's instructions.

And Thetis was unable to have any thoughts of attacking Yuan.

For Thetis, the relationship between her and the tribe can be one plus one greater than two, or it can be non-interference.

There are many kinds of symbiotic relationships, and the symbiosis between Thetis and the Meta Race is a mutually beneficial symbiosis.

The meaning of mutualism, to put it bluntly, is that members of symbiotic organisms benefit from each other.

In fact, this relationship is very similar to that of cleaner fish.

But the symbiotic partners of cleaner fish are all large predators.

The cleaner fish can find food in the mouths of these large predators, and these predators also protect the cleaner fish from other predators.

For predators, cleaner fish help protect their oral health and the sharpness of their teeth.

In addition to mutually beneficial symbiosis, there are also competitive symbiosis in which both parties are harmed, partial-benefit symbiosis in which only one party benefits, partial-harm symbiosis in which only one party is harmed, and unrelated symbiosis in which neither party is beneficial or harmless.

In fact, if symbiosis is taken to a larger scale, all organisms placed in the ecosystem are symbiotic organisms.

Whether it is animals, plants, or microorganisms, they are all symbiotic organisms.

Animals cannot survive alone. Bacteria are needed in the animal's intestines to break down food for the animal.

Plants also cannot survive independently. Plants need animals to spread nectar and provide seeds for them.

Even plants that can self-pollinate need microorganisms to solidify natural elements for them.

Microorganisms cannot exist alone because they are too simple and require the assistance of each other for some functions.

Even microorganisms like viruses need other organisms to reproduce themselves.

Nature hates creatures that can exist on their own.

Because a creature that does not need other creatures to coexist is destined to only bring destruction.

In nature, species invasion can actually be regarded as a similar situation.

As for Thetis and among the ethnic groups.

it's actually really easy.

Thetis can no longer return to Tiaz, because Thetis is now a sea tribe.

Even though her consciousness is still the same as before, to Tiaz, Thetis is the sea tribe.

And the Sea Clan means killing.

So for Thetis, the best choice now is to stay in the group.

The Clan will keep Thetis safe.Thetis, on the other hand, can provide the tribe with information about Tiaz.

If this is the case, then it is a mutually beneficial symbiosis for both parties.

······
Thetis sat up from the rock and looked at her body with dull eyes.

The scales disappeared.

But scales have never been a way to judge the degree of pollution of a deep-sea warrior.

Thetis could feel that her power had become stronger, but she was no longer a member of Tiaz, nor a member of the Deep Sea Warriors.

"I can feel that the restricted evolution in your body has been unlocked. Maybe now you can truly be regarded as our blood relatives."

Yuan leaned over and asked: "Tell me your name, blood relative. My name is Yuan."

Thetis wanted to kill the life in front of her, but whenever such thoughts appeared in her mind, her body would involuntarily reject it.

Thetis knew that this was a sign of becoming a sea tribe.

Her body no longer serves herself, but her genes.

"Sure enough, they were right."

Thetis raised her head and looked into Yuan's eyes: "You are a group of monsters. You are genetic monsters. The most important thing that controls your behavior is genes."

"I'm very curious about what kind of ethnic group Tiaz is. Can you tell me about it?"

Yuan looked at Thetis: "I have heard Tiaz's evaluation of the ethnic group from you many times. In your opinion, what is the Tiaz ethnic group like? What is the difference between you and us? Different, but what are the similarities?”

Thetis did not expect that Yuan would ask such a question, but under the guidance of the leader's consciousness, she couldn't help but think of the past.

Thetis thought to herself.

Thetis had no childhood.

She has been a reserve member of the Deep Marine Corps for as long as she can remember.

She has been receiving education from the Deep Marine Corps since she was a child, and has been constantly adapting to Tiaz's Deep Marine Corps experiments.

For as long as she can remember, Thetis has lived with her older brothers, sisters, and younger siblings.

According to the instructor of the Deep Marine Corps - they are from the same group.

Thetis doesn't remember who her biological parents are, the children of the Deep Marine Corps don't know who their biological parents are, and even the entire Tiaz children don't know who their biological parents are.

They are the children of the entire Tiaz, and they are raised by the entire Tiaz society.

Thetis thought of the education she had received in the Deep Marine Corps and the attack methods she had practiced constantly.

I thought of the scene when I went through many layers of selection and finally became a deep-sea warrior.

I thought of my brother who ended up stabbing his sword into his chest due to the increased pollution during the battle.

I thought of the members of the Third Squadron of the Deep Marine Regiment.

I also thought of the scene when the [-]rd Squadron was hit by the "Banshee" from the [-]rd Base.

She thought of Themisto, the only sister who might be alive and became a deep-sea warrior with her.

More importantly, Thetis remembered the singing in her mind.

Thetis thought, is there any difference between Tiaz and the sea people?
It seems that there is no difference.

Tiaz will train blood relatives, and Tiaz will abandon blood relatives. In fact, the concept of blood relatives in Tiaz's society is so weak.

The song echoed in my mind.

This time, Thetis did not reject the singing.

"Tiaz, I'm no different from you."
