Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 403 No One Can Live
The insect hives in the star core kept falling into the invisible maw of the abyss.

Countless insects, under the command of the insect hive, tried to block the mysterious powerful being's attack, but both the insects themselves and the attacks they launched collapsed and disintegrated once they reached the area where the giant maw of the abyss was located.

Within the area reached by the awakened domain, everything will be decomposed and reassembled under the power of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.

"The ability to devour?"

The clone Chu Xuan moved rapidly through the neural network of the insect hive: "There are few ways to destroy the planet Krendaf. It is possible to completely devour this planet, but after devouring it, it still needs to be digested... Can your ability digest the will hidden in the deepest part of the insect hive?"

Hsu Feng did not answer.

This planet is definitely not right. The insect core seems to be offering no resistance, but its power has already taken effect without anyone noticing.

The final boss in the Starship Troopers universe is quite formidable.

From the perspective of the planet as a whole, whether it's a bullet killing an insect or a nuclear bomb washing away the surface, the mass reduction of the planet itself is negligible.

The will within the insect hive controls the entire planet Krendav.

In the eyes of the insect hive, there is not much difference between a living insect and a dead insect. As long as the matter has not left the planet, a dead insect can be reassembled with only a small amount of energy.

The energy required to reassemble a broken plasma worm into a completely new one is less than the energy required for a plasma worm to fire a single plasma burst.

It's simply that the nascent consciousness in the reassembled insect has no relation to the original insect.

Human civilization's technological weapons seem to have swept away the insectoids on the planet Klendav, but in reality... every bullet that kills an insect increases the amount of matter on the planet, leading to an even greater number of insects in the future.

Of course, such calculations are meaningless in the interstellar age.

Unless the planet Klendav is completely shattered in one blow, and the strongest Zerg god inside the planet is killed, the results achieved by humans cannot be considered results.

The Zerg's most powerful god is a planetary-sized civilization.

From a material perspective, a planet transformed by it can be considered a planet-sized spaceship.

—Kranduff possesses shield capabilities for its spaceships, and these shields are far stronger than those of ordinary spaceships. This allows it to easily withstand a planet-destroying cannon of ordinary yield, and even convert the energy from the cannon into its own. Kranduff is also equipped with a faster-than-light engine for its spaceships. However, due to its excessive mass, it cannot travel faster than light, but it can interrupt the faster-than-light flight of ordinary spaceships…

On the surface, the Demon Team completes their mission using mechanization, utilizing the AllSpark to transform the planet into Transformers.

This is also why the clone Chu Xuan outwardly values ​​Park Chang-ho. If this reincarnation world is not a team battle, the Demon Team will have to rely on the chubby guy as the main force to complete the mission.

In addition to the technological ability to reconstruct matter, the most powerful Zerg god on the planet Krenduff also possesses extraordinary abilities.

The reason why the clone Chu Xuan did not have the clone Zheng Zha attack the planet Klendav the moment it flew towards the black hole was this... Such an attack could shatter a normal planetary system, but if it encountered the interference of the extraordinary abilities of such a planet-level life form, the dark energy might not be able to gather so quickly.

The effect of the Great Tear will be greatly reduced.

One of the reasons the rest of the Demon Team, including the clone Chu Xuan, entered the planet Klandav was to attract the attention of the Hive Will, preventing it from focusing all its energy on defense, and thus creating an opportunity for the clone Zheng Zha to attack.

The most terrifying aspect of this insect god on Planet Klendav is not on the material level, but on the spiritual level of its infection.

To silently enslave humanity... The spiritual infection is not the end; once the spirit is completely subjugated, the body will also undergo certain changes over time.

The clone Chu Xuan used a mental controller from the Demon Team as the vessel for the 'Trojan Horse Plan' largely to avoid the ability that inexplicably took effect.

Xu Feng's clone, which devours the insect nest, will also face that kind of mental erosion.

If the digestive capacity is slightly weak and not all the information of the Zerg is destroyed, this erosion will also involve the material level, and the physical body will gradually become Zerg-like.

"Your Excellency is likely an avatar of the East Sea Team captain. If you come in person, it won't be too difficult to stop the erosion of the Hive's will. However, with just this avatar, it's possible that by the time you have completely devoured the Hive in the Star Core, it will be time for you to be possessed by the Hive's will."

The clone Chu Xuan said:

"The final result will simply be that the insect hive has changed its form; no, to be more precise, it will also gain your abilities..."

"At that time, destroying the insect hive will become more difficult, and even your main body might have some trouble."

"If I'm not mistaken, the East China Sea team's mission is also to fight the Zerg, right? The Zerg on other planets are just more numerous, but the Zerg on this Zerg homeworld won't be so easily wiped out!"

Xu Feng looked at the clone Chu Xuan, who was about to have nowhere to escape, and said, "Are you worried that the Demon Team captain's Great Tear alone won't be enough to destroy the insect hive in its perfect state?"

"There are indeed concerns in this regard."

The clone Chu Xuan did not hide his thoughts: "Zhao Zhuikong is still alive. After I and Amya die, Zheng Zha will destroy the planet Klandav at that time... If even his attack cannot complete the Demon Team's mission, then the Demon Team will inevitably face total annihilation."

“I told you, you’re too confident in that so-called Great Rift… If that Demon Squad captain could create a Great Rift of that power by himself, both the Zerg hive on this planet and I would be extremely wary and stay as far away as possible… But a Great Rift achieved by borrowing power…”

Xu Feng shook his head: "This insect god's will is indeed eroding me, but what's wrong with letting it erode me?"

"Such a clone could have been discarded."

"Perfect timing! The time to abandon this is just around the corner!"

Xu Feng has stockpiled many resources obtained from different reincarnation worlds in the Tun Tun Factory, and he continues to stockpile even more resources in the Tun Tun Factory.

Many resources are actually useless to him now.

The illusionary clones created from the core of the demigod Hirobum in The Lord of the Rings world are still somewhat useful, but these creations can actually be mass-produced.

"So that's how it is..." The clone Chu Xuan paused for a moment: "Were you waiting for Zheng Zha's attack?"

"If the main body doesn't personally intervene, attacking life inside a black hole will be extremely troublesome... In a true black hole, time is eternal, and destiny has reached the end of the universe. Only a realm that truly transcends the universe can possibly change the fate within a true black hole."

Xu Feng said, "Unless, at the moment when the captain of the Demon Team launches an attack... the calculation of achieving a more powerful move through the fulcrum is ingenious, but wouldn't that also give the strong person on the other end of the lever a chance to counterattack?"

The clone Chu Xuan closed his eyes.

The overall gap between the Demon Team and the East Sea Team is too large... so large that in the past year or so, he managed to upgrade the Demon Team's combat power to an unprecedented level, allowing the clone Zheng Zha to create destruction far exceeding its current level with the help of external forces.

But it was still no use!
It still couldn't bridge the gap in scale between the two teams.

What frustrated him most was that despite all his efforts, he still couldn't get the East Sea team's captain to personally intervene. And Zheng Zha, the 'spark' of the Demon Team—whose fate should have been sealed as he flew towards the black hole—had now become uncertain again, with the most likely possibility being…death!
The Demon Team is about to be wiped out!
“I made a mistake again… The East Sea team is so strong, the Demon team only has one chance to return to the Main God Space. When I considered myself as a member who also had a chance to return to the Main God Space, I lost the possibility of Zheng Zha returning to the Main God Space!”

The clone Chu Xuan thought of this at the very end.

next moment.

The domain that decomposed and recombined all matter was applied to Chu Xuan and Amy from the Demon Team, reducing the Demon Team's remaining four members by two.

The East China Sea team is now at ten points.

The insect hive in the core of Krenduff disappeared along with the two men.

The same moment.

Dark energy from the universe is converging on this planetary system. Under the increasingly strong influence of dark energy, space is about to expand... Once the controller's restraints disappear, the rapidly expanding space will cause all matter in this planetary system to collapse at the particle level!

Xu Feng, who had devoured the insect nest, could participate in this process.

Dark energy spread throughout the Swallow Domain and affected the space inside.

The Glutton Factory inside the clone expanded wildly. Under normal circumstances, the clone would have turned into fireworks in that instant.

But just recently, this clone had devoured the Insect God.

The insect's energy was rapidly decomposed and consumed under the expansion of the Swallow Factory, and the original mental energy erosion also began to be delayed due to the expansion of space and time.

In the far distance, Zheng Zha, the replica of the dark energy being restrained, finally released the final restraint after reaching its limit.

However, the rapidly expanding space, through the power recovered by the clone Zheng Zha, traversed time and space, and the Tun Tun Factory, which was like a small world, instantly moved to the location where the clone Zheng Zha was currently.

A relatively independent spacetime bubble appears inside the black hole.

Under the annihilating force of the black hole, the time bubble was instantly annihilated within it.

In that instant, time began to flow again for the clone Zheng Zha, and his fate became uncertain once more. Ultimately, he left the black hole in the state of a fundamental particle.

The time it takes to leave a black hole is the time it takes to die.

The Demon Team is down to just one clone, Zhao Zhuikong!
"Even the clone Zheng Zha is dead?"

Upon hearing the God's prompt, the clone Zhao Zhuikong couldn't help but show an extremely surprised expression.

"That guy's talent was so high, didn't he unleash his full power before he died? Back when he challenged Reinhardt, there was a significant power gap between them..."

"If a sudden power surge could solve all problems, then the tragedy that befell the clone Zheng Zha wouldn't have happened. The current captain of the Demon Team did kill the former captain, but before he did that, didn't he also suffer unbearable torture at the hands of the former captain?"

"A person who is powerless when their most beloved person dies may also be powerless when facing their own death!"

Xu Feng's voice reached the ears of the clone Zhao Zhuikong.

At the same time, he looked at the people around him.

"The core of Planet Krendaf has been destroyed, and the area above the mantle is collapsing. Under the influence of this natural disaster, the insects on this planet will probably be wiped out within twenty-one minutes. I will kill the clone Zhao Zhuikong before the Demon Team completes its mission."

In this team battle, all twelve members of the Demon team will become his reward points; none of them will survive.

The clone Zhao Zhuikong became the last survivor of the Demon Team for various reasons, but he was destined to die.

Zhao Yingkong is good, but she's not worth making such a big sacrifice for.

The clone Zhao Zhuikong looked up at the approaching figure: "Little Apple, it seems you've joined a very strong team!"

The Demons member had a very complicated expression.

I am overjoyed to see the person I have been longing for as I am about to die.

What's infuriating is that the Rui Kong wasn't a desecration by the other members of the Donghai team, but a counterfeit created by the person she was so attached to.

Zhao Yingkong had many questions in his mind... He understood why there were questions.

But Zhao Zhuikong, the clone, also wanted to ask: Why create Ruikong in the first place?
“I don’t like that title…” Zhao Yingkong said expressionlessly, “That’s how you address someone else!”

"Someone else?"

The clone Zhao Zhuikong smiled slightly: "In that case, I have no obligation to answer your questions."

Zhao Yingkong didn't try to bargain with him: after a moment of contemplation, she said, "In my true memories, Ruikong killed the others, and you and I joined forces to kill the berserk Ruikong..."

"But in my memory, it became that you killed everyone, leaving only me."

"My personality was born during the process of being altered."

"But what is the meaning of these altered memories?"

The clone Zhao Zhuikong shrugged: "I don't know the answer to this question either."

Zhao Yingkong ignored the answer and continued to ask, "If it's to make me forget the cruel fact of killing Ruikong, wouldn't it have been better to just leave you alone during the killing process?"

"If it's that kind of memory, no matter how complicated my feelings are when I look at you, I wouldn't consider you my only enemy."

"And... wouldn't the best option be to make everything fake? Since the Zhao family's most talented assassin only has one level of genetic lock left, wouldn't it be reasonable for the others to die in the Zhao family's experiments?"

Zhao Yingkong's voice grew louder and louder: "Why must you bear all the responsibility alone?"

"Because, when you were born... she hated me."

The clone Zhao Zhuikong smiled with relief: "Sorry, you are indeed no longer the Little Apple you used to be."
