1075 Zerg Empress
In just two months, the transformation of the wall of origin in the four sectors of the universe had begun to show results. Every day, there was an endless stream of flying doors, sending all kinds of research materials and necessary equipment.
His research on the wall of origin and the tree of fate had also gained some direction and some results.
For example, the sticky substance that link used the Anti-Life Equation to control on the battlefield. After analyzing it, he found that it was a special fungal lifeform. It had complex neuron signals, but the control of these neural signals was actually through the mind.
in other words, it was a species that could be controlled permanently once a mental link was established.
The characteristic of this species was that it could absorb and seal the ability of its target, assimilating the target on the microscopic level, and gradually turning the sealed target into the same kind of creature as the sticky substance. This way, it would become one with the sticky substance on the entire wall of origin. If it wanted to break free, it would have to break free of all the sticky substances, which was very difficult.
In terms of intelligence, the sticky substance was much weaker than Hades. The only advantage it had was in numbers.
After losing the control of the will of the universe, the sticky substance lost its consciousness and became a fungal lifeform that relied purely on biological intuition and conditioned reflexes.
Seeing this, link decided to send Hades out. Using Hades’s sticky characteristics and thoughts, he devoured the wall of origin and assimilated it as a part of his body.
With this, Hades had also completed its own evolution and sublimation, rising from epic-quality to orange-quality, and its strength had also undergone a tremendous change. every sticky thing was hades, and hades could split into countless pieces. even if they were scattered across the universe, hades’s mind could control every single sticky thing.
The players ran around the universe and brought back pieces of Zerg nest fragments according to the information and intelligence obtained from the special Committee.
When the progress reached 90%, link successfully unlocked the Zerg Queen. However, the Queen was different from what link had imagined.
He had thought that the system would give him a Zerg Queen. He didn’t expect that he would only get a ” Heart of the Swarm “.
That’s right, it was the item in the S-rank mission title [ Heart of the Swarm ].
Not only did he create the Zerg, but he also wanted to create a Zerg Queen!
Looking at the requirements for the Heart of the Swarm, link realized that the requirements for creating a Queen were quite harsh.
First of all, it had to be a Zerg. Secondly, since she was the Queen, her gender naturally had to be female.
The most important point was that his strength couldn’t be too low. He had to be at least middle-tier or above, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to control the huge ‘Heart of the Swarm’.
when all these conditions were put together, link could only think of one person who fit the criteria-god-queen grace.
Grace had undergone fusion to transform into the blood God and God of plagues. She was an existence second only to him in the Zerg race. Even overseer surtre could only be beaten by grace in terms of strength.
secondly, grace was the only female among the high-level zergs. she was the most suitable person to become the zerg empress.
of course, he also needed to ask for grace’s opinion.
However, link believed that grace wouldn’t reject him. After all, he had already thought of an excuse.
When link found grace, she was in good condition. The worry that had lingered on her face had disappeared.
in the past, he had been worried that the will of the universe would harm sean and miranda, and this worry reached its peak after fu sacrificed himself to resist the power of correction.
Now that the sun devourers had been dealt with, the wall of origin had been completely broken, and the fate tree system had been completely destroyed with a single thought. The comfort brought by the peace was the feeling that nothing could threaten Sean and Miranda. It was the feeling that grace had been dreaming of.
However, when link once again appeared in the misty villa to pay a visit, grace suddenly had a bad feeling.
“One doesn’t come without a reason. I’m afraid that you have come for something bad.”
Grace had a good understanding of link.
the smile on link’s face froze. he couldn’t help but touch his cheek. was it really that obvious?
“I do have something to discuss with you.”
Seeing Link’s serious expression, Grace’s bad feeling became even stronger.
The two of them strolled in the yard and said, ” “I’ve come to discuss something with you. What do you think of the situation of the universe after the tree of fate was destroyed?”
From the very start, link had thrown out a question that grace thought was philosophical.
grace was stunned for a moment before she replied, ” “The situation of the universe? Didn’t you say that after we cut down the tree of fate, we’ll get rid of the fate puppet? Is the future going to be a better new situation or more chaotic?”
“You know, I once said that I’m not a person of this place, I’m a person without fate, so I was chosen to cut down the fate tree. you can escape your fate, but i, who don’t have fate, will most likely be sent back to the place i came from.”
link did not finish his sentence, but grace was no fool. after a moment of silence, she asked,”The same as the Inhumans?”
Link nodded and sighed. “That’s why I can command the players like they’re my own arms, because I understand them. What I’m most worried about now is that after cutting down the tree of fate, the place where I was sent back will fall into chaos. Although the four sectors of the universe were currently in their honeymoon period and could suppress the chaos below, it was not a big deal. However, as the situation develops, it will definitely lead to an even more chaotic situation.”
Worry crept up on Grace’s face again. According to Link’s tone, it seemed like an even bigger storm was coming.
“If I leave at that time, I’m afraid no one will be able to hold the ground. this is the reason why i came to find you today.”
Link decided to show his face card.
“me? even if my strength has reached Class A, it won’t be easy for me to suppress the umbrella Foundation and other external forces, right? The evil gods in outer space, in particular, would flee in panic when they heard the name of the God Slayer link. I don’t think I have the ability to do so.”
“if there’s a chance for you to improve your ability now, i’ll give you a chance. So that you have enough power to deter the enemy and better protect Sean and Miranda. Are you willing to do so?”
Grace felt that the scene before her seemed familiar. Back then, link had used this exact same tactic to tempt her into giving herself up for the fusion.
so, your real purpose in coming here this time is to use your secret method to increase my strength again, right? ”
link’s smile reappeared on his face as he praised, ” “You really have a pair of Phoenix eyes that can see through the wrong path!”
“The power this time is enough for you to terrorize the entire universe. The heart of the Zerg, once fused, you can become the new Zerg Empress and command all the Zergs in the universe. One had to know that the Zerg, Intelligent Machinery, and high-level demons were the three great catastrophes. With such a force in hand, the deterrent force was strong enough. Even the evil gods in outer space would have to think twice if they want to invade.”
It was Grace’s turn to be curious. Controlling the Zergs had always been Link’s exclusive ability. Even the Zerg overseer, surtre, followed his orders. now, link decided to give the heart of the swarm to grace and make her the new zerg queen. it was like he was in a dangerous situation.
link decided to hand it all over to her.
Thinking of Link’s unpredictable abilities and his ability to command the Zerg Army in the universe, this ability would be the most powerful guarantee for grace.
After thinking for a moment, grace looked at the two children playing in the distance, and her motherly love once again occupied the high ground.
indeed, link was right.
No one had ever cut down the tree of fate, and no one could predict what would happen after it was cut down.
However, he had to plan for the worst.
The worst case scenario was that link would leave and the universe would fall into chaos. The evil gods in outer space would be ready to make trouble.
In this situation, without link as the pillar of support, Grace’s own strength was not enough to intimidate the enemy. She was also unable to lead the umbrella Foundation.
However, if he took over the heart of the Zerg and became the new Zerg Queen, with the unparalleled power of the universe Zerg, he could become the strongest power in the universe other than the four sector universes.
With this in mind, Grace’s heart was already moved.
As long as he could protect Sean and Miranda, any sacrifice would be worth it.
“Alright, I agree with your modification plan. However, I have one more question. Will I be able to obtain the same ability as you if I carry the Heart of the Swarm?”
“The Zerg hatcheries, altars, and incubators on Miranda can all be used normally. However, the ability to synthesize and modify can not be inherited.”
These abilities came from the bug tribe’s hive fragments and were special skills of the bug tribe. Even if the Zerg Empress was resurrected, unless the owner voluntarily offered their abilities, the Empress would not be able to master these abilities. She could only evolve and control the Zergs step by step.
However, this was enough for the Queen who controlled the Zerg. The mother nest and various incubators that could allow the Zerg to evolve had been completed. The altar could revive the middle and upper levels. Link had laid out the road for the revival of the Zerg.
Grace was also a Swift and decisive person. Since she had already gotten over this psychological barrier, there was no time to waste. She immediately made her preparations.
Of course, there was another reason why Grace had made this ” difficult ” decision. Becoming the Zerg Empress would allow her to possess the purest bloodline of the Zerg race. The Zerg bloodline contained a strong vitality and was the bloodline closest to the Phoenix bloodline.
from a certain perspective, grace would have a close blood relationship with her two children.
Link and grace arrived at the insectoid altar beneath Miranda.
the ceremony would be held here.
Apart from the two of them, the only one who was called over was ‘honor Grandmaster’ surtre.
surtre was particularly excited to be invited.
One must know that only the top and core members of the Zerg could participate in this ceremony.
Along the way, surtre had been thinking about creating a new medal for this event as a memento.
However, the truth was that other than the pure-blooded Zerg overseer, surtre, link and grace couldn’t think of any other pure-blooded zergs under his command.
Surtre was the Zerg overseer and also played the role of an advisor on various traditional Zerg matters.
But this time, the advisor stuttered.
After all, it was the first time surtre had seen a new queen being born by granting the Heart of the Swarm. He had no experience.
Grace sat on the altar while link held the Heart of the Swarm in his hands.
Although it was called the “Heart of the Swarm,” it was actually a glowing energy core.
The energy core was translucent and had countless wispy fibers inside. Overall, it was in a state of a neural network, but also a bit like a honeycomb structure.
The energy in the “Heart of the Swarm” was more like a thought, a core that was used to establish a connection with all the Zergs in the universe.
The birth of a Zerg Queen also required Link’s Zerg blood.
With the support of the highest concentration of Zerg blood, grace and the ‘Heart of the Swarm’ were both wrapped in a blood cocoon.
During the next ‘incubation period’, grace would gradually become one with the’ heart of the Zerg’. Once this fusion was complete, grace would be promoted to the Zerg Empress and become the leader of the Zerg race in the entire universe!
This time would not take too long, only a short five days.
during this time, link’s progress in the hive fragments had finally reached 100%.
The final 100% progress stage reward did not have any new products, only experience and potential points.
However, these things had lost their appeal to link.
Without danger, there was no motivation to improve his strength.
the only thing that interested link was the [cosmic disaster] version and the title of “zerg emperor” that would be released after the s-rank mission was completed.
The title of Zerg Emperor gave link a higher command over the Zergs than the Zerg Queen. At the same time, the Zergs under him would receive more benefits.
As for the [cosmic disaster] version, link received a system notification after he completed the mission.
It unlocked a higher level.
As for the plot, because the current situation in the universe had deviated from the norm, the power of the universe will had been greatly reduced, and it could not really start the version event.
The game world’s version had come to a halt because of Link’s strong interference.
Link didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
However, he had already learned from his mistakes. The original versions of the Alliance of the stars, evil God’s forbidden land, and insect heart had also become the rule of chaos with Link’s help.
Finally, five days later, a new Aura was produced in the bug race’s sacred altar.
Link could feel an equally powerful aura of the same source connecting all the Zergs.
This connection was directly based on the thought process.
It was like a constantly expanding network that radiated to even further places.
link was like an emperor, sitting in the spiritual world and watching the consciousness spread. The further his consciousness spread, the stronger the aura in the altar became.
The Zerg Empress had returned.
P.S. recommending my good friend’s new book ” the era of warships and cannons “. It’s a digital interstellar war, warships and cannons, and the three natural disasters. Those who like these elements can go and read it. The author has a 10000-order old book, and his strength is guaranteed!
