Devouring the Stars: Zerg Overlord

In the dim sky, the blood-colored vortex slowly rotated, and an extremely tempting breath came.

In the battlefield, the blood-colored fog became thicker and thicker, stimulating the already violent demons in the battlefield.

Demons within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, or even millions of miles, all felt the coming of the [Abyss Crystal].

All the demons were boiling, and they roared excitedly and rushed towards the direction of the vortex.

Large numbers of demons rushed over in groups, shouting meaningless weird cries, as if they were attending a heavy celebration.

Before entering the battlefield, some demons started fighting.

A centaur-like demon holding a spear roared and charged, stringing two sheep-headed demons into a gourd, and tore their bodies into pieces, spilling blood all over the ground.

The centaur demon enjoyed the taste of blood, and its power seemed to be stronger during the killing.

It shouted in demon language, and more than a dozen demons passing by looked at the dead goat-headed demon, with only a bloodthirsty smile on their ferocious faces, without the slightest surprise.

However, the next moment, a huge foot fell from the sky and trampled the dozen demons to death.

A mountain-like fire demon with flames flowing all over his body walked over with a long whip of fire in his hand, not caring at all about the demons that were trampled to death along the way.

Rushed into the battlefield and participated in the feast of blood and death.

"Hahaha——"

The fire demon laughed wildly and waved the long whip of fire in his hand, splitting all the demons within a radius of several thousand meters into pieces of meat.

Boom——

Thunder sounded on the battlefield, and a meteorite with a diameter of a kilometer fell to the ground.

The bodies of demons within a radius of several kilometers flew up like rags, and then turned into pieces of blood and flesh in mid-air.

A low and heavy roar came from the huge pit.

The meteorite with a diameter of about a kilometer broke into pieces, turning into a giant holding up the sky, a rock giant burning with blazing green flames.

With heavy footsteps, the rock demon walked out of the pit and casually smashed hundreds of dizzy demons to death.

This is not the end, but a beginning.

Like a meteor shower, thousands of meteorites fell from the sky, smashing the battlefield into pits.

Some of them even smashed directly into the huge mother nest.

"Roar--"

In the center of the battlefield, the thunderous roar of the golden-horned beast sounded, and the giant claws covering the sky waved, smashing more than a dozen meteorites.

These upper demons (domain master level) were crushed by the golden-horned beast before they had time to land.

On one side of the battlefield, the overwhelming bat-winged wolf-body demons roared in the distance, and these bat-winged demons tore the demons blocking the way while flying.

Under the stimulation of blood, some bat-winged wolf-body demons started fighting.

Farther away, the ground trembled. A group of demons holding war hammers and giant axes, like giant apes, with bloodshot eyes, slapped their chests hard, and couldn't wait to join the battlefield.

…

Endless demons rushed to the battlefield from far away places under the stimulation of the bloody vortex.

Most of them joined the battlefield without waiting for the [Abyss Crystal] in the bloody vortex to appear. Only a few upper demons and even big demons resisted the desire to kill and lurked in the dark waiting.

In the battlefield, many demons who were crazy about killing had long forgotten the [Abyss Crystal] and were immersed in killing.

Demons are such creatures. Whether there is a harvest or not is secondary. Being able to kill happily is a profit.

Freedom of life and random death, this is the demon!

Chaotic, warlike, and blood-loving, they don’t care about death at all, whether it is their own death or the death of other demons.

In the center of the battlefield, near the Zerg mother nest, hundreds of millions of demons and the Zerg army were fighting crazily.

Bull-headed demons, giant ape demons, bat-winged demons...

Almost all demons attack the Zerg as their first target.

Demons are not without wisdom. The stronger the strength, the higher the wisdom.

Generally, the intelligence of lower-level demons is no worse than that of ordinary people. They are just chaotic by nature and too lazy to think.

For demons, it is better to chop them with an axe instead of thinking.

The strength of these later demons is almost above that of middle-level demons, and there are many upper-level demons and great demons among them.

Although the breath of the abyss has become thicker and thicker after the continuous fighting of the insect swarm, and there is not much difference between it and the creatures of the abyss, the position occupied by the insect swarm is the core of the battlefield, at the bottom of the bloody vortex.

Once the [Abyss Crystal] appears, there is no doubt that most of them will fall into the insect swarm.

How can other demons be willing?

Unless Qin Mu is willing to let the insect swarm evacuate the center of the battlefield, this is inevitable.

But will Qin Mu do this?

Of course not!

He hopes that the battle will be more intense, and he came to the Purgatory Abyss just to let the insect swarm fight.

In the crazy battle, thousands of insects died every moment, but more insects were hatched.

The two top combat forces, the Golden Horned Behemoth and the Hive Tyrant, always rushed to the forefront of the battlefield, and the number of great demons killed by them exceeded ten!

Although they paid a heavy price for this, both the Golden Horned Beast and the Hive Tyrant were injured more than once and returned to the mother nest for treatment.

But they still managed to hold on, and even in the five-day war, the size of the swarm grew larger and larger, and had exceeded 30 million.

Only a handful of these 30 million Zerg were released by Qin Mu from the World Ring.

Most of them are hatched from the mother nest. These Zerg hatched by absorbing the flesh and blood of demons are full of abyss breath like the original demons and will not be besieged.

"The demons in the Purgatory Abyss are indeed the same as in the intelligence. Not to mention the number, the variety is terrifying."

Qin Mu said with some sigh.

In the past five days, he had seen too many weird demons.

Conventional human shapes, animal shapes, rocks, flaming creatures, puddles of mud, all kinds of random splicing together were an eye-opener for Qin Mu.

"It turns out that the freedom of life can still be understood in this way."

Qin Mu originally thought that some of the mutated units in the insect swarm were strange enough, but now they were still far behind compared to these demons.

"Demons are indeed chaotic creatures."

The Queen Mother Irina on the side was also eye-opening.

As the mother queen of the Zerg race, she can be said to have seen a lot, but when faced with a creature like a demon, she was dumbfounded.

"Master, the genes of the first batch of demonic creatures have been successfully analyzed."

After praising him, Irina said.

"The analysis was successful?"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up.

"Well, the results are shocking. Whether these demons are strong or weak, they all have blood heritage!"

“Demons, like the Zerg, mostly lay eggs.

From their memories, we found that many of them were born near a river called the Styx, and a large number of demon eggs were hatched in that river all the time. "

Irina's expression was full of shock.

“After these demon eggs are hatched, they are called baby demons, and these baby demons will kill crazily near the River Styx.

In the process of killing each other, only the strongest demons can survive.

After devouring enough flesh and blood, they will naturally awaken the blood in their bodies and possess a certain blood heritage.

Although the inheritance is not complete, it is powerful enough. "

Irina paused and continued.

“When these demons become powerful enough, they will be expelled from the River Styx and randomly appear in the abyss of Purgatory.

They have a complete bloodline evolution route. As long as they kill and fight, they can continue to become stronger, activate the bloodline in their bodies, and master enough knowledge.

In a sense, all demons can be called special beings.

Because as long as you kill enough people, you can transform from a baby demon to a demon leader or a demon prince.

Of course, the evolution of bloodline is not necessarily successful, and mutations or failures may occur during the evolution process.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many types of demons. "

While listening to Irina, Qin Mu was also reading the genetic map of the new demons that appeared in the insect swarm.

These genetic maps are different from those of strange life, full of distortion and chaos.

It is precisely because of the chaotic genetic belt that demons are naturally warlike and bloodthirsty.

But there are patterns in this distortion and chaos.

Qin Mu even found a complete evolutionary route for the Balrog. Starting from an ordinary young demon, it only takes a few bloodline activations to become a powerful Balrog!

Not only that, while analyzing the devil's genes, the swarm actually gained memory inheritance.

Although most of these inheritances are incomplete, they are still inheritances.

But compared to these, Qin Mu was more interested in the complete bloodline advancement route in the demon bloodline.

With every evolution, the devil's genetic structure will become more perfect and excellent.

For example, there is a route that evolves from a baby demon to a fire demon, and then from a fire demon to a fire demon.

It takes about ten evolutions during this period. As long as it is successful, it can transform from a weak baby demon into a powerful Balrog.

Compared with demons, insects actually have many similarities.

This evolutionary route of the devil can be completely integrated into the evolutionary route of the insect swarm.

It's not a replacement, but an option for the evolution of the insect swarm.

The genes of insect swarm units are unstable. In fierce battles and harsh environments, evolutionary mutations may occur at any time.

It's just that this kind of evolutionary mutation is uncontrollable, which is a good thing. This kind of evolution gives the insect swarm unlimited possibilities.

In fact, there are many weak units in the insect swarm. In the past, Qin Mu's choice was to rebuild them, convert them into energy, and then hatch out more powerful units.

There are two ways of hatching Zerg. One is normal hatching.

The other is to create countless weak Zerg and let them fight. The strong will devour the weak and eventually have a king Zerg.

After devouring it countless times, it is just stronger than its peers.

But if the insect swarm can also have this advanced bloodline route, it is entirely possible to hatch a weak blazing insect race, and after evolution, mutate into a blazing giant beast.

Then it evolved from an ordinary starry sky behemoth like the Blazing Behemoth to a second-class starry sky behemoth with the attribute of fire.

In the end, it becomes a huge flame star beast, or a stronger special life, or even a beast-god-level existence.

Although the probability of such evolution is very small, as long as the number increases, there is always some hope.

In this way, any weak Zerg may rise to become the top unit after experiencing countless battles.

"Excellent evolutionary mechanism."

In Qin Mu's mind, various ways of strengthening the Zerg appeared.

"Original Zerg Codex" and "Bloodline Evolution" and many other bloodline secrets flowed in his mind, as if he had grasped something.

Unlike the step-by-step evolution of demons, the evolution of the Zerg tends to be in place at once, and the probability of multiple mutations of the same Zerg unit is very small.

"I will study it carefully later, but now is not the time to consider this. Let's end this war first."

Qin Mu calmed down. In his eyes, the power of the blood-colored vortex has accumulated to the peak, and the things inside are about to come.

The Zerg and demons in the melee felt this and became more and more excited!

Many demons who were originally quietly waiting for the arrival of [Abyss Crystal] joined the battlefield directly under this temptation.

"Understood! At present, the number of surviving demons in the entire battlefield is close to 800 million, most of which are middle-level demons, and the number of upper-level demons has also exceeded 10 million.

The number of big demons has also reached 86!"

Qin Mu nodded to show that he knew.

Eight hundred million demons, and they survived five days of high-intensity melee!

As for the deaths in these days, even more have died.

Unlike the demons at the beginning, most of these surviving demons are led by powerful demons, and their strength should not be underestimated.

However, Qin Mu is still full of confidence, because in the past five days, he has continuously released a group of powerful Zerg units.

Among them are three iceberg monsters.

These three iceberg monsters have now transformed into huge demons, wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

Rumble...

The blood-colored vortex in the sky suddenly stagnated, and hundreds of blood-colored crystals with flames flew out of the vortex in the clouds.

After brewing for five days, [Abyss Crystal] finally arrived!

Countless demons flying in the air immediately rushed out to try to snatch it.

But how could other demons on the battlefield let them snatch it?

Billions of distant attacks rushed into the sky, and flames, lightning, wind blades, or long spears and short spears flew everywhere.

The first batch of demons that rushed up were almost torn apart instantly, and even the body of a bat-winged demon at the level of a demon exploded.

Under this level of attack, not to mention the big demon, even the golden-horned beast can't withstand it.

Especially once the golden-horned beast's huge body rushed out, it would definitely be the target of concentrated fire, so Qin Mu didn't grab it in the first time.

What's more, the first batch of demons that rushed over were fighting each other.

So this batch of demons almost died, and only a few successfully grabbed the [Abyss Crystal].

Most of them were floating in the air and scattered all over the battlefield.

Since the Zerg occupied the most core position of the battlefield from the beginning, almost half of them fell into the Zerg.

"Put away the [Abyss Crystal] and kill all the demons!"

Qin Mu looked at the chaotic battlefield with a cold gaze.

Queen Mother Elena's soft face showed an amazing murderous intent.

"It's the Overlord!"

The next moment, the Zerg, which was originally just passively defending around the mother nest, broke out, and 30 million Zergs roared together.

Nodes in the Zerg soul network lit up one by one.

All [Abyss Crystals] belong to the Zerg, and all demons must die!
