Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 174, 'The Mantis King'

As the supreme commander of the Zerg battlefield, he can not only legitimately use Zerg resources, but also gain access to the Zerg Alliance's classified intelligence.

The benefits are enormous.

"well-done."

Jiang Ming praised.

“Master. The command center for the second battlefield is located in the ‘Crimson Vortex’ star sector, where three Zerg Queens and twelve Zerg Alliance Venerables are stationed.”

"The master needs to familiarize himself with the Zerg's communication methods."

The Lord of Bilong made the suggestion.

This opening of the extraterritorial battlefield, directly within the Zerg territory, is a blatant slap in the face for the Zerg.

The Zerg are now holding their breath and are barely paying attention to other extraterrestrial battlefields, having deployed most of their strongest warriors to these four battlefields.

After all, for the Zerg, this is no longer an extraterritorial battlefield, but an intraterritorial one!
Although the convention prevents Venerables from entering the battlefield outside the domain, there are still Venerables stationed in the command center.

However, unless there is a major upheaval, such as a major defeat on the front lines or a large number of their own strongmen being slaughtered, the Zerg lords in the command center will not easily take action.

"Ah."

Jiang Ming nodded. Although the Lord of Bilong had arranged an identity for him that was almost flawless and could withstand investigation, he was still human.

Moreover, he was a human realm lord. Even with the 'Soul Golden Pearl' concealing his identity, he could only hide it from the Zerg Venerable, not from the Zerg Universe Lord.

However, the number of Zerg universe masters is small, and these four extraterritorial battlefields are located within Zerg territory. Other universe masters of the Zerg Alliance generally do not enter Zerg territory.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't cause too much of a commotion, his identity will be extremely difficult to uncover.

That being said, Jiang Ming also needs to learn the various habits and communication methods of the Zerg.

With Jiang Ming's current strength and calculation ability, plus the guidance of the Zerg high-ranking Lord of Bilong, he is ready to succeed.

In just a few days, Jiang Ming became familiar with the Zerg's seventeen common languages ​​from different periods, three hundred and sixty-two mainstream dialects, and a wealth of Zerg trivia.

The Abyss of Calamity.

At this moment, Jiang Ming, who was on the throne of the Bone Insect Nest, had lost his original majestic and domineering aura, and was replaced by a cold and violent aura unique to the insect race.

“Master, your disguise is now perfect. Even if I didn’t probe inside your body, I wouldn’t be able to tell if you are human or not.”

The Lord of Bilong spoke respectfully.

"Well, well done."

Jiang Ming praised.

"Now, take me to meet my 'subordinates'."

"Yes, Master!"

At that moment, an immortal Zerg emerged from the spatial portal in front of the throne.

“Master, my subordinates will lead you into the Crimson Vortex Starfield. You can now take them out of the ‘Abyss of Calamity’.”

The Lord of the Azure Mound pointed at the Zerg Immortal and then spoke.

The 'singularity' is the vessel of his inner world, and it cannot enter his inner world with him.

Although Jiang Ming himself can enter the inner world, his 'singularity' will remain in the outside universe.

Therefore, Jiang Ming could not directly teleport away from the 'Celestial Abyss Space-Time'.

Unless he doesn't intend to carry the 'Singularity' with him.

But this is too dangerous. The 'Singularity' is not only the carrier of the 'Abyss of Calamity', but also the carrier of his consciousness and soul.

It was like his lifeline; no matter how tough it was, Jiang Ming dared not leave it outside. Crimson Vortex Starfield, Zerg Second Battlefield Command Center.

Inside a massive palace constructed from biological tissue, a dozen powerful auras were enveloping it.

The three Zerg queens sat high on bone thrones, their wills communicating silently in the void.

"Do you know this 'King of Blades' recommended by the Lord of Azure?"

"A queen shrouded in blood-red mist said coldly."

"I don't know, but it's said to be a powerful cultivator in seclusion."

Another queen, with transparent crystal butterfly wings behind her, chuckled softly.

"The people recommended by the Lord of Bilong are never bad."

The third queen spoke in a kind tone.

At that moment, they all received the instruction, their gazes sharpening as they looked towards the outside of the main hall.

The Crimson Vortex Starfield, located in the heart of the Zerg territory, is named for the several massive nebulae at its core that intertwine and form an ever-burning dark red vortex.

This place was originally an important stronghold of the Zerg, but now it has become a front-line command hub due to the extraterritorial battlefield opened up by the Terrans.

The void rippled slightly, and a biological spaceship shaped like a giant dark purple mantis, its body covered with ferocious bone spurs, detached from the dark universe and appeared on the outer edge of the star field.

The spaceship exuded a cold and violent aura characteristic of the Zerg, immediately attracting the attention of the Zerg's vigilant defenses.

Several main cannons, each the size of a planet, silently aimed at the spaceship.

Just then, a cold wave of thought emanated from the Mantis spaceship, carrying a special access code that only high-ranking Zerg members possessed, along with the identity information of 'Knife Mantis King'.

Upon receiving the message, the Zerg fortress lowered its guard and parted like a tide, revealing a path leading into the depths of the starfield.

Without pausing, the mantis spaceship transformed into a dark purple streak of light, shooting towards the deepest part of the vortex—a colossal palace constructed from countless biological tissues, planetary debris, and solidified energy.

Second Battlefield Command Post, 'Crimson Nest'!
The interior of the 'Crimson Nest' is not a traditional architectural structure, but rather resembles the internal cavity of a gigantic organism.

The flesh walls writhed slightly, emitting a dark red glow, and countless energy channels, like blood vessels, spread around, transporting enormous amounts of energy.

A peculiar pheromone and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

When the 'Knife Mantis King's' spaceship docked at the designated chamber platform, several figures were already standing around the platform.

Leading the group were the three Zerg Queen Immortals.

The one on the left, shrouded in churning crimson mist, with only a pair of cold and ruthless compound eyes vaguely visible, is the 'Blood Mist Venerable'.

The one on the right has four pairs of huge, almost transparent crystal butterfly wings on her back. The wings are naturally engraved with mysterious law patterns, and they cause ripples in space when they flutter slightly. She is the 'Crystal Wing Venerable'.

In the center, with the gentlest yet most profound aura, she possessed a human-like upper body and a massive worm-like lower body. She sat coiled on the platform, her face bearing a gentle smile that seemed eternally unchanging. She was the leader among the three queen mothers, 'Venerable Ruiga'.

Besides the three Zerg Queens, there were more than a dozen powerful beings of various forms standing beside them. They were other Venerables of the Zerg Alliance, all from vassal races.

At this moment, their eyes were all focused on the mantis spaceship that was slowly opening its hatch.

The hatch slid open, and a figure stepped out.

He was about three meters tall, and his entire body was covered with dark gold armor with sharp, knife-like edges that gleamed with a cold metallic luster.

His form resembles a humanoid praying mantis, with his arms being two enormous, naturally curved bone scythes, the space around the edges of the scythes slightly distorted.

Its face was covered by a mask-like carapace, revealing only a pair of emotionless compound eyes, as pure as the purest obsidian.

A sharp and incomparable aura, seemingly capable of cutting through everything, naturally emanated from it, carrying the unique coldness and ferocity of the Zerg.

He is none other than the 'King of the Mantis'!
