Zerg in the Crystal Wall World

Out-of-control Unified Insect Nest.

Although it's called a nest, there are no insect nests or insects here. After unlimited normalization, only one life form remains in the entire world: the unified syncytium.

A giant cell spread out between heaven and earth.

It looked like an ocean made of translucent gelatinous substance, with its surface shimmering with flowing iridescent light—the oily sheen of the lipid cell membranes of the syncytiosomes refracted in the setting sun.

The gelatinous ocean surged with gentle waves like real seawater, dyed a warm orange-red by the setting sun, and at first glance, it had an eerie tranquility.

Only on the edges of a very few isolated peaks protruding from the sea on the mainland, the behavior of the gelatinous body constantly climbing upwards in an attempt to incorporate the entire peak into itself, can be seen as a living thing.

The apparent calm cannot conceal its dangerous nature.

The swarm's restrictions on the Unity are ubiquitous: after the Unity goes out of control, the organs and tissues originally used for interstellar warp will dissolve first; the pupal channels connecting other worlds will seal the spatial nodes in an oscillating manner before they die, in an attempt to completely lock the Unity in its original world.

But life always finds its own way:

Colloidal oceans are rapidly flowing into the elemental realm from the edge of the world.

The One-Body is a monster with a twisted soul. Its soul is naturally compatible with the Shadow Realm. After it loses control, it immediately begins to penetrate deeper into the Shadow Realm.

In addition, the swarm cells' natural affinity for psionic energy, combined with the twelfth-order twisting power, gives rise to the ability to project contaminated thoughts beyond the barrier.

Typically, once one unified world collapses, the entire surrounding world cluster will fall in succession.

……

At this moment, the originally calm Guiyi Ocean suddenly stirred up fine ripples, which converged at a speed visible to the naked eye and instantly transformed into a gelatinous tsunami thousands of meters high.

The Soul of Unity, floating within the Universe, immediately mobilized its power to distort reality in an attempt to quell the sudden riot.

But the next moment, the crimson lava instantly broke through the multi-layered membrane structure inside the multi-layered syncytium, soaring into the sky with the smell of sulfur.

It wasn't pure magma, but a mechanical derivative with a structure similar to carbon nanotubes. It was a mutation that evolved thousands of times based on the structure of the demon's skin, a carbon-based material that was extremely resistant to high temperatures.

The gushing lava column rapidly cooled and solidified in the unified tissue fluid, eventually forming a black crystal column that branched out like a giant tree.

Due to the special cooling mechanism, the sides of the stone pillar are covered with honeycomb-like holes, which, when viewed from a distance, resemble a lotus seedpod magnified a thousand times, densely packed and bottomless.

A rustling sound came from every hole.

Soon, barnacle-like insectoid units emerged from the holes, their tubular bodies moving in and out of the cave, wriggling back and forth, until all the scale-like tentacles on their bodies opened and pinned themselves to the inner wall of the holes.

They are special variants of spore reptiles.

After anchoring themselves firmly to the stone pillars, they immediately unfolded the combustion chambers on their bellies, opened their mouths covered with spiral teeth, and suddenly spewed out scorching tongues of fire that stretched for several kilometers.

A tangled web of fire enveloped the sky, and wherever it passed, the unified syncytial ocean hissed and vaporized, rising up pungent white smoke.

The rage of the unified soul manifested as a tsunami crashing down, its twisting power enough to grind even the hardest alloys into powder.

But the flames spewed by the reptiles are no ordinary flames; they can burn not only matter but also souls to ashes.

It suppressed the surging tide of unification, preventing the gelatinous tsunami from crossing the line.

At the top of the lava tree, a red crystal the size of a human head slowly rose, its interior shimmering with intense light, as if it contained a miniature, pulsating star.

Similar lava trees are sprouting from all over the One World.

From a bird's-eye view, these crystal pillars form a giant magic circle that covers the entire world, with runes flowing and glowing between the pillars.

boom--

Ten thousand blazing red lights burst forth from the center of the magic array, instantly engulfing heaven and earth.

The entire world was instantly engulfed in flames, and the blue, unified ocean transformed into a boiling pool of tar, constantly churning and bubbling, and emitting eerie, painful hissing sounds.

Even the unified soul in the sky was ignited, creating all sorts of distorted phenomena in its howling, but it could not extinguish the flames in the slightest.

In no time at all, all the souls in this world were burned to ashes, leaving only the crystal pillar standing in the deathly silence...

……

Fire Elemental Realm
The Zerg fleet tasked with eradicating the Zerg hive is anchored here.

At the heart of the fleet is a warship shaped like a spiral spine, with each segment of the spine covered by dark red plates, and orange, magma-like fluid flowing between the vertebrae.

It is the high-level command unit of the demon swarm.

Because they retain the original characteristics of demons, the high-level command units of the demon swarm do not have a fixed form. Any demon unit can potentially transform into a higher-level being by consuming enough souls and essence.

At this moment, the warship was emitting a painful groan that sounded inhuman, and every bone ring was trembling violently.

Dark red flesh and blood tissue kept falling off between the bones, turning into black ash upon contact with the outside air, emitting a foul stench similar to burning tires.

The difficulty of dealing with the unified insect swarm has never been the material confrontation.

Rather, it lies dormant deep within the consciousness.

Even if the body has been completely burned, spiritual pollution may remain deep within the mind.

In fact, the moment the demonic units stepped into the Unified World, the corrupting influence of Unification seeped into the core of the Hive's will through the natural order, psionic links, and individual senses. It corrupted souls, distorted minds, and then interfered with the physical body. The Spine Warships have already shown initial signs of Unification.

Inside the ship, the various combat units were engaged in a frenzied self-destruction, with the crisp sound of chelicerae tearing through the carapace and the shrill screams of gene chains collapsing rising and falling.

This is actually a good thing.

The demon swarm is inherently more bloodthirsty than other factions, and cannibalism is commonplace. At this moment, most of the corrupted units will be devoured and purified in this infighting.

This gives them an extra layer of protection compared to the Worshiping Insect Cult factions, which are almost completely defenseless against spiritual pollution.

In the distance, a dragon-shaped Zerg warship was flapping its membrane wings as it flew in, its head gleaming with a greedy crimson light.

The devouring among high-level command units never ceases, especially when their comrades are weakened, at which point this plundering becomes even more direct.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The roar of the Spine Warship abruptly ceased, but its mournful cries did not stop, instead transforming into a mental storm that impacted the consciousness of every Zerg unit.

The Hive Will of the entire fleet withered suddenly, like a candle flame being extinguished.

The concept of death is forcibly imprinted on every individual body and soul.

Just like a programmer adding a termination command to code, all the cells lose their biological activity and turn into cold, lifeless matter.

Upon seeing this, the dragon-shaped warship immediately turned around, and the frequency of its membrane wings flapping the air suddenly increased, attempting to escape this death zone.

But the shadow of death was already looming large.

The dragon-shaped warship froze abruptly, and with a mournful cry, it perished on both the physical and hive levels.

This death impulse even incorporated the corrupting properties of the Unification, causing the area of ​​collapse to expand continuously, spreading from the two warships to the entire Zerg hive cluster, triggering a chain of deaths.

At this time.

A blazing, dark green demonic flame erupted out of nowhere, almost engulfing the entire Zerg hive fleet.

Suddenly, countless blood-red tendrils with sharp teeth erupted from the wreckage of the warship, strangling the contaminated units like giant pythons.

It was the faction leader of the demon swarm, Root Spirit Ancient Wood, who made his move.

But at that moment, a silver-gray blade suddenly struck the vine tendrils, the destructive power contained within the blade even greater than that of the unified whole.

The tentacles withered and turned black instantly, and death spread rapidly along the vines, making a crisp sound as the withered branches broke.

Even more terrifying, this destructive force, like a leech, crossed the spatial barrier and directly attached itself to the root spirit ancient tree. Then, following the network of the hive's will, it spread wildly throughout the entire demon swarm.

The ancient root spirit tree let out a deafening scream, and countless tendrils began to break off on their own. About one-fifth of its body was forcibly peeled off and turned into light spots that dissipated.

But it's no use.

The will to die is etched into the deepest recesses of the insect hive's will, and cannot be eradicated by physical cutting...

……

The time has come.

The Overlord and the Ancient God of Order made a decision simultaneously—the Chosen Ones now possess the ability to pose a fatal threat to the Overlord.

The Ancient God of Order has abandoned its previous retrenchment and no longer cares about the risk of being corrupted by the Overlord.

The golden domain suddenly expanded, enveloping the battlefield like an inverted bowl. It mixed with the psionic energy of the Overlord and had a combined effect, causing the flow of time within the vast area to become slow and viscous.

At the same time, chaotic and distorted thoughts suddenly emerged from the pure Zerg battlefield, tearing space apart with countless irregular rifts. Almost instantly, the remaining forces of the God of Light were wiped out.

A strange figure emerged from the crack:
Its hair is made of wriggling nerve cords, and it has a pair of huge claw-like appendages on its back. Its naked torso is covered with a dark purple chitinous carapace, and its eyes burn with ghostly blue psionic flames.

Judging by appearance alone, they resemble the real Zerg even more than when the Overlord first entered this world.

It is the Chosen One of the Two Gods. Or rather... the leader of the Death Faction of the Swarm.

This is a conspiracy.

If the Overmind chooses to retreat, the two gods can take the opportunity to wipe out the Zerg hive fleets on both battlefields and severely damage the entire Zerg swarm.

The will of the Ancient God of Order resounded once more: "You will face your destined death!"

The Overlord even heard the roar of the Chaotic Ancient God: "Xia Bian ¨ Kun Jin Kao!"

Without much hesitation, the ruler immediately made a decision:
The psionic energy spread across both battlefields like a burst dam, the crimson waves engulfing vast swathes of space, and wherever it passed, the combat power of the Zerg units instantly surged.

The two ancient gods did their utmost to restrain the overlord's psionic torrent, even going so far as to mix their own will with the overlord's psionic energy to create an opportunity for the chosen gods to deliver a fatal blow.

Without hesitation, the two chosen gods transformed into a streak of gray light, following the trajectory of the psionic torrent, and pierced straight into the core of the Overlord's consciousness...

The moment they came into contact with the dominant consciousness, the two chosen gods turned into a sky full of blood and flesh powder.

After a moment of deathly silence, the entire hive's will suddenly erupted into a violent tremor, as if a calm sea had been suddenly engulfed by towering waves...
