Devouring the Stars: Zerg Overlord

Purgatory Abyss, Anze City.

This huge demon city, with walls tens of thousands of meters high, has become dilapidated.

The walls built of dark red boulders are covered with dark brown spots.

That is the scene that will appear after blood has dried and solidified repeatedly.

A part of the wall has been completely broken, and a group of demons are urgently repairing it. These demons who used to fight each other have rarely been honest.

But if you look outside the city, you will understand why this happened.

Anze City stands in a vast sea of ​​magma, surrounded by rolling magma and hot air.

But at this moment, most of the rolling magma is covered by a thick fungal blanket, which is at least more than 50 meters thick.

Under the fungal blanket, countless vine-like roots penetrate into the magma, absorbing the fiery energy in the magma.

Whether it is for the swarm or the demons, the high-temperature liquid magma can hardly cause any harm.

For example, the Fiery Zerg in the Zerg Swarm and the Flame Demons in the Demons can use magma as food.

Hundreds of millions of demons and the Zerg army are fighting frantically, and countless lives are lost every moment.

But both sides obviously have no intention of retreating.

Above the fungal blanket, the roars of the Zerg and the demons resounded through the sky.

Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood gathered into rivers.

The absorption and conversion speed of the fungal blanket could not swallow all the corpses and blood in time.

The sky, the earth, and even the magma are battlefields everywhere.

In this battlefield that stretches for millions of miles, there are nearly a hundred star beasts with extremely huge peak bloodlines.

The 90-kilometer body is like a living mountain, and a random pounce can kill tens of thousands of demons.

Even if you are one level higher than them, you can't resist their attacks head-on.

Their bodies are too large, and it is difficult to cause them a one-hit-kill injury.

As long as they cannot be killed, no matter how badly injured they are, as long as they retreat to the vicinity of the mother nest tens of thousands of miles behind the battlefield, they will recover quickly and step into the battlefield again.

Thousands of miles behind the Zerg battlefield, several mother nests as high as 190 kilometers are deployed, and the fungal carpet is densely covered with hatching chambers of various sizes.

A large number of Zerg are hatched every moment and join the battlefield continuously.

Join the bloody battlefield like a meat grinder.

However, what is even more terrifying is that near these mother nests, there are huge monsters with a body length of nearly 1,000 kilometers lying.

If the distance is not far enough, you can't see the appearance of creatures of 1,000 kilometers.

Too amazing.

They did not join the battlefield, but just lay there to ensure that the mother nest will not be destroyed by the demons.

On the other side of the demon city, there are also a steady stream of demons driven over.

In the city, there is an extremely powerful breath burst, and the majestic momentum suppresses the whole city.

But it is obvious that the number of demons has been scarce after several months of war.

Even in the sky, there was a blood-red vortex of tens of thousands of kilometers, and the vortex exuded an alluring breath that attracted the demons in the entire Purgatory Abyss to come to support.

In a mother nest on the front line, Qin Mu looked at the battlefield from afar, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

This war should have ended long ago, as long as the twelve peak-blooded realm master-level starry sky giants rushed forward, destroyed the Demon City, and killed the demon leader.

But Qin Mu dragged it down.

This scale of battlefield is very rare, and it is very suitable for the current strength of the Zerg.

Originally, with the power of the Zerg, it was difficult to defeat all the demons and kill the immortal-level demon leader.

But with twelve peak-blooded realm master-level starry sky giants, and no longer saving resources to explode troops, this war was forced to be a draw.

However, when the battlefield converged at the Demon City, a large number of demons were mobilized from all directions by the demon leader, and the blood-red vortex that appeared in the sky blocked the Zerg's footsteps.

No, it cannot be said that the Zerg's footsteps were blocked. It should be said that Qin Mu felt that this level of battlefield was too suitable for the evolution of the Zerg, so he did not end the war quickly.

"The number of newly evolved units in the Zerg has reached 323. Among them, many main units have evolved and their strength has doubled."

Qin Mu nodded with satisfaction after calling out the data from the battle.

For a long time in the past, various units in the Zerg had not experienced real combat, and there were various defects.

Some of these defects were difficult to expose, but they were exposed one by one in this long-term high-intensity battlefield.

"The chain mutation of the Zerg units also has a huge amount of data. Among them, the one with the most mutations has successfully transformed from the lowest-level Zerg unit to a second-level star beast with the attribute of [Li] fire."

Qin Mu's sight was in front of a Zerg unit with a body length of about ten kilometers.

This is a [Li] star beast that is covered with wounds but exudes a fierce aura.

Unlike other giant beasts in the sky, it has a stronger aura after emerging from the sea of ​​blood and corpses. Its giant lizard-like body is half soaked in magma and half covered by fungal carpet to heal its wounds.

"This should be the king unit among the Devouring Zerg."

Qin Mu chuckled.

There are two ways to hatch the Devouring Zerg

The first is to mass-produce weak Zerg.

Then, let them kill each other internally and devour each other. The weak will die, the strong will survive, and the strong will devour the weak and become stronger. When a large group of Zerg warriors are all dead and only one is left, that one will be the best.

Not all Zerg warriors have the same qualifications, some have greater potential and some have less potential.

This method is to eliminate all those with low potential, and the peak Zerg that has experienced endless killings... is ten times more powerful than the average world lord peak Zerg warrior, and can be called the king!

The second type is the normal cultivation method.

In the past, Qin Mu was raised normally.

However, what is different from the Devouring Zerg is that if Irina is allowed to cultivate the King Zerg, for example, the Tiger Beetle King will be cultivated.

Then it will hatch out a large number of tiger beetles and let them kill each other. In the end, it will just select one tiger beetle with greater potential and strength.

But it's different now.

This Zerg was just a low-level Blazing Zerg at first.

It continued to evolve in the battle, evolving step by step from an ordinary Zerg to a starry sky behemoth like a flaming behemoth.

Then from the blazing giant beast, it evolved into [Li] of domain lord level bloodline!

"Although the efficiency is a little low, the harvest is really good!"

Qin Mu nodded with some satisfaction.

The evolution system in the insect swarm unit is relatively complete, and it can already evolve from the lowest level insect unit to a starry sky beast at the [Li] level.

Then, Qin Mu turned his attention to the other side.

It was a group of humanoid Zerg.

In other words, they were a group of experimental subjects recreated with human blood.

However, their shapes are obviously different now from the beginning. After many evolutions, their body shapes have changed a lot.

Their bodies have been alienated, and it is difficult to see their original appearance anymore.

Some have horns growing on their heads, some have extra arms, tails, and scales, and their bodies are several times larger.

The most exaggerated one among them has mutated from its original size of more than one meter to a giant beast nearly a thousand meters tall.

"Unlike the evolutionary variation of Zerg units, the evolutionary variation of human bloodline still needs to consider the physical appearance."

Qin Mu frowned slightly.

As a biological weapon, the Zerg units are of course the stronger, the better, and the more ferocious they look, the better.

But humans are different.

If there are only one or two people, this situation actually doesn't matter. As long as they can become stronger, what does it matter if there is some alienation?

Human beings can also be identified through their souls.

But that won’t work if the entire human race mutates.

For example, Luo Feng, after seizing the body of the golden-horned giant beast, still brewed an earthly clone.

This is a recognition of human identity.

The human body shape is a kind of culture and inheritance.

But unlike Luo Feng, who has multiple clones, using genetic seeds allows one to evolve!

When the cosmic-level bloodline is still in human form, the Domain Lord level will mutate uncontrollably. After reaching the World Lord level, the human bloodline is almost devoured by the giant beasts in the starry sky.

In this way, the more it strengthens, the closer it becomes to the starry sky beast, and even directly mutates into the starry sky beast.

Take Earthlings as an example.

Suppose that after everyone is injected with genetic seeds, through continuous evolution, they will eventually become starry sky beasts.

So are they still human?

They can have the talent and power of the starry sky beast, but they cannot really become the starry sky beast.

Otherwise, hundreds of millions of years later, the top human beings will become starry sky beasts, and it is hard to say whether they are humans or starry sky beasts.

It is very dangerous to become two species physically.

In particular, most of the starry sky beasts are bloodthirsty and cruel.

Qin Mu only wants their talent and potential, but he doesn't really want to turn them into starry sky beasts.

This kind of problem must be eliminated at the source rather than waiting for it to happen before dealing with it.

But here comes the problem, human genetic strength is limited.

Below the domain lord level bloodline, Qin Mu can perfectly integrate human genes with the genes of starry sky beasts, with human genes as the dominant force.

Apart from being stronger and having some strange lines on his body, there won't be any changes.

But no matter how strong it is, it is difficult to guarantee it.

For example, when Qin Mu studied the perfect divine body, he discovered that human genes have limits.

When it reaches a certain level, various alienations will definitely occur.

For example, the body becomes huge!

A body of two to three meters cannot accommodate the violent power and genes of the peak bloodline starry sky beast.

Therefore, Qin Mu enlarged the first stage of the perfect divine body, which is now the insect nest tyrant, to a thousand meters!

Even after collecting 12 kinds of peak bloodline starry sky beasts, Qin Mu has already started the second phase of the perfect divine body.

It is estimated that in order to accommodate so many outstanding genes of peak bloodline, the body size will be at least over 10,000 meters!

This is a necessity.

At the same time, the Hive Tyrant is no longer human. Although it is based on Qin Mu's genes, it has almost nothing to do with its original appearance.

"Two options."

Qin Mu's thoughts were spinning in his mind. In the past few months, he had thought of many ways, and finally came up with two relatively reliable and achievable plans.

The first one is through the fusion of different human genes and starry sky beasts. The human body is still enlarged, but there is no alienation state as much as possible.

In short, it is to enlarge the body and integrate the genes of the starry sky beast with a larger body.

While ensuring that the whole body does not mutate, they possess the talent and potential of the star beasts.

This has a great advantage, that is, after becoming immortal, their divine bodies will become even larger.

But it will be very difficult to achieve this.

There are billions of human races, and there are too many races.

It is very difficult to fuse their genes with the star beasts without causing too much mutation.

The second method is simpler and more brutal, creating a second form, or a combat form.

It is still a normal body at ordinary times, but as long as the power is burst out, it can expand and mutate quickly.

It is not too difficult for Qin Mu to do this.

Not to mention the transformation of the iceberg beast, many races have the ability to transform and expand rapidly.

For example, the most classic Moyun vine.

This plant life can change into any appearance, such as armor form, or expand and encircle the enemy.

Or star-eating grass.

Before it blooms, it is like a real grass, very small in size.

But as long as it is activated, it can become thicker and longer like crazy, and in an instant, it becomes a real "giant celestial body".

With such characteristics, Qin Mu can completely integrate the genes of the star beast and design a combat form.

It doesn't matter if the combat form is a little ferocious, as long as the combat power is strong.

Anyway, it is still in normal form at ordinary times.

But there is also a big problem. Not to mention that the ordinary form is weakened, their real gene fusion form is actually the combat form.

The usual form is actually a disguise.

It's okay when it's weak, but when it becomes immortal and has a divine body, it must be mainly in combat form.

At that time, there will still be a danger that all human high-level members will become star beasts.

"We still have to find a way to strengthen the genes of humans themselves and let human genes evolve."

Qin Mu shook his head and had a headache.

As long as the human genes are stronger in nature, there is no need to worry about these problems.

Human genes definitely have potential. After all, Luo Feng can use the Nine Tribulations Secret Book to strengthen human genes, so theoretically Qin Mu can also do it through research.

It will definitely be very difficult to simply optimize human genes. For example, only one person in the entire universe can practice the Nine Tribulations Secret Book.

This is different from what Qin Mu was thinking.

"Hmm? How about letting Luo Feng fuse the Nine Tribulations Secret Code, and then I can study Luo Feng?"

Qin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Hey!

You know what, this is really a good idea!

Luo Feng has a clone of the Demon Killer Clan, so he won't die anyway, so success in cultivation is inevitable.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Code is amazing because it can break the rules of the universe and is not limited by the number of genes.

As long as there is experimental data after the transformation, for Qin Mu, it is no different from practicing the Ninth Order Secret Code.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the risk of the entire insect swarm turning into ashes.

The plan works!
