Swallowed Star: Copy God

#238 - Knife Shadow

Ye Yun stayed in the main control cabin of the ‘Illusion Truth’号, watching one planet after another drift past, showing no intention of revealing himself for the time being.

The territory of the primal universe controlled by the Zerg was not much different from that of the humans, but the overall structure was very different.

The human territory consists of 1008 advanced universe countries, each of which is further divided into intermediate empires, elementary empires, plus some private territories and areas allocated to other races for habitation, which together form the current cosmic map of humanity.

The primal universe of the Zerg, however, was closely related to their social structure. Each Zerg Queen controlled a varying number of planets, star systems, and even starfields, and their respective territorial ranges increased gradually according to their strength.

Within the territory of a Zerg Queen, all resources in each starfield belonged to that Zerg Queen. They would use these resources to improve themselves and build their own Zerg legions as much as possible.

It can be said that the Zerg society was extremely strict and primitive, with the Zerg Queens holding absolute control.

Only a small portion of the area would be allocated to special Zerg who had awakened their own intelligence, as well as other races attached to the Zerg, but compared to the Zerg Queens, their status was greatly inferior.

Therefore, Ye Yun needed to be careful at all times within the Zerg's universe. When passing through each starfield, the countless Zerg planets might encounter the Zerg Queen stationed there. Once discovered by the sensitive Zerg Queen, he would immediately face a overwhelming siege of Zerg warriors.

Moreover, the situation would escalate into a chain reaction, and Ye Yun would face endless attacks from Zerg warriors. The organization and strictness of the Zerg were not a joke.

Because of this, Ye Yun was not in a hurry at the moment. He had just entered the Zerg's universe, and the Zerg information that Ku Yan Wang possessed was basically outdated and could not provide much value.

Ye Yun hoped to grasp some real-time information about the current Zerg universe as much as possible before determining his next plan.

“This place originally seemed to belong to the private territory of an Undying-level Zerg Queen. Why are all the Zerg warriors on those planets at the World Master level?”

Ku Yan Wang's telepathic message rang in Ye Yun's heart,

“Master, even the Undying-level Zerg Queens, who have extremely high status among the Zerg, need to enter various battlefields and fight against the peak races such as humans and mechanical races. This is both to exert their own usefulness and to train themselves and improve themselves.

The original owner of this starfield should have left for quite some time. If they have not returned for a long time, other Zerg Queens will naturally occupy it.”

Ye Yun nodded slightly. He understood the principle that Ku Yan Wang said. The Zerg Queens attached great importance to resources. Maintaining a huge legion, whether it was moving or attacking, would consume a lot of energy every moment. It was impossible to leave a large starfield empty and unattended.

Ku Yan Wang paused for a moment, then changed the subject,

“Master, I have discovered that the soul connections between the Zerg warriors entrenched on the planets of the many star systems along the way should all come from the same object.

In other words, they all belong to the same Zerg Queen.”

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow,

“You mean…”

Ye Yun had been flying in the ‘Illusion Truth’号 for quite a while now. In terms of the distance traveled alone, it was no less than a small starfield.

It should be known that the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield of the Ganwu Universe Country of the human race was the private property of an Undying God. It can be seen that an entire starfield was not something that ordinary beings could occupy.

Even if the World Master-level Zerg Queen, whether in terms of status or strength, was far superior to the ordinary World Master of the human race, but being able to occupy an entire starfield to develop at will, this World Master-level Zerg Queen must not be an ordinary existence!

Either they had a very high status within the Zerg, or they were like the elite geniuses within the human race, with extremely strong talent and potential, which allowed them to receive more resource allocation.

‘Which Zerg Queen World Master could it be?’

Ye Yun showed a thoughtful expression. He had a lot of information about the Zerg in his hands, most of which came from Ku Yan Wang, and the rest came from other clansmen lurking in the Zerg's native universe.

In the current Zerg universe, there were actually many human lurking teams, distributed in different places.

Most of them were led by Undying powerhouses, with their base camps rooted in the deep fragments of the space mezzanine, while the other small part would choose desolate and dead cosmic belts, and establish secret locations on resource-exhausted planets with no value.

Relying on the existence of the virtual universe, the communication between the various human teams was very smooth, and they exchanged information together and shared the information they had mastered.

The only thing that was not shared was the real location where they were located. This was also an iron rule set by human powerhouses, in order to prevent one team from accidentally exposing themselves and implicating the location of other secret teams.

This iron rule was the consensus of everyone, not only limited to the human race, but also the hidden forces of the Zerg who infiltrated the human universe were relatively independent individuals, with deep connections with each other, but would not involve their respective hiding places.

Although the human team had mastered such a powerful tool as the virtual universe, the structure of the Zerg universe was too simple and precise, unlike the complex human society, which made infiltration difficult.

Moreover, humans were not proficient in soul and spirit, and with the combination of many factors, the Zerg information that humans understood and mastered with the support of the virtual universe was not as good as those Zerg who infiltrated the human universe.

The Zerg could easily obtain human information by borrowing the human forces they controlled. Almost all of the outstanding geniuses and powerhouses that emerged from the human race could not escape the Zerg's records, and most of them were included in the kill list.

In comparison, the human side was more embarrassed. There was no shortage of information about some of the Zerg's powerhouses, but at the World Master and Undying level, the information was seriously lacking, and it was even impossible to compile a complete list.

The terrain map and territory structure of the Zerg universe were naturally easy to grasp, but the exact level of which Zerg force belonged to each star system and each planet in these starfields could not be achieved.

For example, the starfield that Ye Yun passed through along the way had indeed been marked on the map, but the identity of the starfield controller was still unknown.

With the experience buff from the King of Withered Beauty, Ye Yun didn't plan to join other human lurking squads, but instead prepared to act alone.

With many trump cards up his sleeve, Ye Yun could be said to be unafraid of attacks from any King-level immortal powerhouse. Acting alone would give him greater freedom and prevent him from being overly distracted by other things.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.

"Let's start with this Zerg Queen."

The meteorite 'Illusion Truth' quietly disappeared while slowly flying in the cosmic space, replaced by a tall figure about three meters high.

Thick limbs and strong muscles showed the explosive power within the body, but strangely, compared to the strong body, the head seemed unusually small. Two large eyes occupied most of the area of the head, appearing extremely strange.

On the back, there were also two cold shadows drawn from the spine. Upon closer inspection, they were actually two huge long blades flashing with sharp, cold light!

This strange figure with a powerful aura, reaching the peak of the Realm Lord level, was exactly the 'Blade Shadow', a Zerg warrior nurtured by the Zerg Queen, combining strength and speed!

However, compared to ordinary 'Blade Shadow' warriors, this suddenly appearing 'Blade Shadow' had two eyes that kept turning, flashing with the light of wisdom, obviously different from ordinary Zerg warriors who were only controlled by the Zerg Queen.

This strange 'Blade Shadow' was transformed from Ye Yun's Lin Clan clone, and it wasn't just an identical appearance. The aura on his body was also replicated and amplified by Ye Yun using his innate secret technique. Now, from the outside, the Lin Clan clone was a genuine 'Blade Shadow', without any difference!

As for Ye Yun's main body, he had entered his inner world, ready to respond to unknown changes at any time.

However, Ye Yun wasn't too worried about the safety of the Lin Clan clone when letting it act alone outside.

It should be known that after being transformed by a large number of 'Hearts of Water and Space', the Lin Clan clone had evolved into a special life form with 200 times the genetic level of a normal life form. Not only had its strength level greatly increased, but it also possessed three major innate secret techniques. Coupled with its own terrifying affinity for the Law of Water Origin and the Law of Space Origin, its combat power was extremely powerful.

And the strongest aspect of the Lin Clan clone was not its combat ability, but its ability to save its life, which was comparable to that of a King-level Limitless immortal powerhouse at the current stage.

Teleportation plus the innate secret technique—[Domain]—was enough for the Lin Clan clone to escape from most dangerous situations.

Relying on the special nature of energy life forms, the Lin Clan clone transformed into a Zerg warrior 'Blade Shadow' and, under Ye Yun's manipulation, changed its aura and shot towards a planet in front of it at high speed.

From the outside, this planet had already become somewhat riddled with holes, and on some still relatively flat land, it was crowded with densely packed Zerg warriors. These Zerg warriors all belonged to the same category, precisely the 'Blade Shadows' that the Lin Clan clone had transformed into.

The Zerg Queen obviously had her own plans for nurturing her Zerg army in her own base camp.

Under normal circumstances, a planet would only cultivate and manufacture one type of Zerg warrior, and after the nurturing and manufacturing was completed, this planet would naturally become the armory for this type of Zerg warrior.

Obviously, the planet that the Lin Clan clone was heading to was the location of the 'Blade Shadow' Zerg warrior armory under the Zerg Queen's command.

As the Lin Clan clone approached the surface of the planet, it still didn't attract any attention. These 'standby soldiers' who had not been controlled by the Zerg Queen were crowded together, each exuding a powerful aura, all at the peak of the Realm Lord level.

Without the Zerg Queen's orders, these manufactured Zerg warriors were more like dead objects, and they didn't react in any way to the arrival of the 'Blade Shadow' transformed by the Lin Clan clone.

After approaching, the Lin Clan clone slowly drew out the two long blades stuck on its back. Then, strands of cold light extended upwards from the position of the blade hilt, instantly covering the entire body of the long blades, making the two long blades seem as if they had been plated with a layer of ice-blue shell. Just taking a glance at them would cause a chill to emerge from the depths of one's heart.

The two long blades on the back of the 'Blade Shadow' Zerg warrior were their most core combat ability, possessing extreme destructive power. Coupled with the amplification of the Lin Clan's unique innate secret technique [Frost Ice Reversal Spear], the power emitted from them could already threaten immortal gods.

The Lin Clan clone held the two long blades, intertwined in front of him in a cross shape, and then slashed heavily towards the front!

An ice-blue cross-shaped cold light formed at the intersection of the two long blades and extended forward. In just a moment, its length soared, reaching a scale of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This cross-shaped cold light was a purely killing-type secret technique—the offensive condensed by the first style of [Ice Extreme Blade], [Cross Ice Extreme].

[Ice Extreme Blade] was originally a set of attack secret techniques in the virtual universe company's treasure trove, with a grade reaching the top level. Although Ye Yun cultivated [Ice Extreme Blade] and couldn't reach the level of the creator, with his attainments in the Law of Water Origin, he also possessed considerable power.

The first style of [Ice Extreme Blade], [Cross Ice Extreme], supported by the Lin Clan clone's 200 times energy and supplemented by the strengthened ice-blue long blade, suddenly possessed extremely strong power!

The cross-shaped cold light of tens of thousands of kilometers instantly arrived on the surface of the planet, accurately hitting the many 'Blade Shadow' Zerg warriors staying on the surface of the planet.

Although the 'Blade Shadow' Zerg was indeed powerful enough to rank at the forefront of all Zerg warriors, under the Lin Clan clone's accumulated strike, it didn't have any ability to resist. In the area where the cross-shaped cold light passed, countless 'Blade Shadow' Zergs directly turned into ashes, without leaving even a bit of debris.

And in addition to the part of the 'Blade Shadow' Zerg that was hit head-on, in the area affected by the cross-shaped cold light, more 'Blade Shadow' Zergs were affected by the Law of Water Origin and directly turned into ice sculptures.

With a simple move of [Cross Ice Extreme], the Lin Clan clone annihilated a small half of the Zerg warriors on the planet. Although the targets didn't resist, even if they could resist, the final result wouldn't have changed in any way.

After testing his own strength, a look of satisfaction appeared on the Lin Clan clone's face. Not to mention anything else, the destructive power of this one style alone was enough to rival most immortal powerhouses.
