Colonial Suit

In the sky, the Mother Nest trembled even more violently. Huge pieces of armor began to peel off, falling like rotten flesh. They were like meteorites plummeting from the heavens. As the armor peeled away, massive functional areas, the size of battleships, followed.

These enormous objects crashed into the sea, creating towering columns of water that reached the clouds.

The Mother Nest shrieked in rage, desperately trying to escape, but it couldn't move an inch. From the moment the Blood Eye entered its body, it had entered the assimilation process.

That's right, assimilation, one of the most direct and dangerous methods used by the ancient Krodir conquerors to deal with feral cells.

As a biological civilization and the discoverers of enhanced cells, the Krodir naturally had measures to deal with mutations. There were many such measures. The simplest was annihilation, specifically for dealing with feral cells that were worthless or difficult to reuse. A more advanced method was recycling, using dissolution pools and re-modulation systems to reorganize and reuse feral cells, obtaining valuable gene fragments. This was often applied to feral cell colonies with mutation and research value.

But all of this required complete facilities and systems to support it. If there were no such conditions, such as in the wilderness or during cosmic wanderings, without supplies, bases, and large-scale modulation devices, the third and fourth methods had to be used.

The third method was will suppression, which Blood Eye had used before. The advantage of this method was that it was fast and simple, but the disadvantage was that it had a small scope of application and could not cope with large, established feral cell colonies.

And the fourth method, which Blood Eye was now using, was assimilation.

This was the most cruel and direct measure. Simply put, the conqueror used their own enhanced tissue base to generate virus-like cell clusters, which then entered the feral cell colony to invade and devour. During the process, the conqueror's power would be ignored, and they could only attack through enhanced cells, engaging in the most primitive and bloody 'battle'.

No one knew how this battle was conducted, but the only thing that could be known was that in the history of the Krodir, a total of seven hundred and thirty-seven conquerors had engaged in hunting, and only twelve survived and achieved victory. The rest all died.

In assimilation, the combat power that the cosmic warrior prided himself on was meaningless. What was most effective was the source of life: the soul, the spirit, the will, and everything else that was intangible yet irreplaceable. The conqueror used these to influence their own enhanced cell colonies, thereby launching a 'war'.

Blood Eye intended to do just that, because at this time he was seriously injured and the Abyss Force was dormant. So, to occupy this feral base, he had to take a risk.

From a practical point of view, destroying this base was not difficult, because both Robbie and the Gemini siblings had the power to fight against it. But the problem was that Blood Eye didn't want to give up. This was the first Mother Nest he had ever seen that originated from the ancient times. It was a true Krodir creation. Its value was simply immeasurable.

Once he possessed this base, Blood Eye would no longer be a tree without roots or water without a source. His colony armor would also have an environment for modulation and modification, thereby greatly strengthening the team's power.

Blood Eye had not considered equipping Robbie and the Gemini siblings with colony armor as well. This was merely preparing for a rainy day.

But even so, it was worth doing.

Inside the bloody and vast Mother Nest, Blood Eye had already closed his eyes, like an infant in its mother's womb. Around him, countless veins spread like spiderwebs, all converging into his colony armor. The core was running at high speed, constantly organizing his own enhanced cells to infect and reorganize.

This was a microscopic war. All Blood Eye could do was to give his will and personality to his own 'camp', thereby creating a 'legion' that was even more powerful than the feral cells.

In fact, this was not difficult.

Because in Blood Eye's body flowed the blood of the Krodir's strongest, the genes of the strongest. He was the Krodir's ultimate creation, the one who truly embodied hope.

Leia's dominance, Dirk's ruthlessness, Shadow's cunning, Lesterro's command... the ancient rulers continued their spirit and existence in him. With such a powerful bloodline and spiritual continuation, what was a feral base worth? The reason why assimilation was considered a dangerous method was because none of the Krodir who had performed assimilation were rulers, not a single one!

If a ruler were to perform assimilation... it would be like the current Mother Nest.

It was truly 'frightened'.

It was estimated that in the life of this Mother Nest, it had never seen such terrifying assimilation, such a domineering and rapid invasion. Blood Eye felt like swallowing a ball of hot magma, which blossomed in its abdomen in an instant. In just a few seconds, a large number of functional organizations were captured and invaded, just like those civilizations conquered by the Krodir during the chaotic wars, obediently handing over control.

Energy zone...

Power zone...

Cell regeneration pool, pollution factory, energy circulation system...

These functional areas, which were vital to the Mother Nest, quickly fell, and soon spread to the weapon system. The core's authority was also rapidly expanding, constantly receiving new occupied areas.

At this time, the core's ability could be seen. No matter how many functional areas there were, no matter how much information was exchanged, it could receive it without any pressure and react quickly. Under its command, the huge Mother Nest was actually well-organized, and its stability exceeded that of the original body. Moreover, as time passed, its ability became stronger and stronger, and it finally faintly had a momentum to dominate everything. It gave people the feeling that it was the core here, and the Mother Nest's original body was just 'temporarily residing' here.

At this point, the Mother Nest's original body also realized that something was wrong. It finally stopped resisting in vain, but instead actively abandoned large areas of 'territory', cutting off the connection with the attached modules. After pieces of 'ship bodies' fell off, only a meatball the size of an egg was left, flying towards the void.

This was the most precious part of the Mother Nest, the feral 'core'.

Theoretically speaking, the core was the irreplaceable core of all enhanced tissues. As long as the core existed, even if the enhanced tissues collapsed, it would not be a big deal. As long as the core retained a little bit of enhanced cells, it could proliferate and reorganize according to the database, thereby gradually returning to its original state. Of course, this process was very long and required a huge amount of resources, but it was too lucky compared to destruction.

During the Great Chaos period, this Mother Nest relied on the core to escape and avoid disaster, and gradually reached its current scale under Mostina's protection.

But it never expected that before it could taste the 'delicious food' promised by Mostina, it would once again fall into collapse and disintegration.

And what it didn't expect was that this escape... was probably its last.

Because, there was an existence like it staring at it.

"Auxiliary brain detected, do you want to devour it? No answer, default devour." The core flashed a message in Blood Eye's mind at lightning speed, and then launched the legion to pounce on it...

Very, uh, 'efficient'. (To be continued...)
