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

Chapter 176, The Fangs of the Abyss of Calamity
Inside the main control chamber of the 'Crimson Nest', a cold and efficient flow of information surged silently.

Jiang Ming, the 'Knife Mantis King', stared at the massive three-dimensional star map with his dark golden compound eyes, his scythe-like forelimbs occasionally tapping lightly to retrieve deeper data.

Every command he gave strictly followed the options provided by the "Mother's Will" algorithm, making it precise and efficient, even more in line with the algorithm's "optimal solution" than his predecessor, "Blood Mantis King".

Several Zerg Queens exchanged thoughts in secret.

"His style is very unique."

The Blood Mist Venerable's thoughts carried a hint of scrutiny.

"Completely trust the algorithm, execute it without deviation, and it is even more ruthless than the algorithm itself."

"Perhaps this is how the cultivators under the command of the Lord of Bilong are."

Crystal Wing Venerable's butterfly wings trembled slightly as he analyzed the data stream.

"His decision-making efficiency is extremely high. In a short period of time, the pressure on the third spiral arm's defense line has been reduced by 3.3%."

Venerable Rigga's gentle thoughts carried a hint of approval.

"At least for now, he appears to be a competent commander. The algorithm approves of his choice."

Unbeknownst to them, beneath that cold, algorithm-driven exterior, Jiang Ming's will was weaving an invisible web in a way that transcended the calculations of the 'mother's will'.

"Crimson Flame, is the target selection complete?"

Jiang Ming communicates with intelligent life forms through his consciousness.

"Master, the initial screening has been completed."

"Based on the information provided by the Lord of Bilong and real-time battlefield data, a total of 366,512 targets of the Zerg and their allies with high potential, special talents, or enormous divine bodies have been marked in the second battlefield area."

Its specific location, strength assessment, and affiliated faction have been listed.

An extremely detailed list instantly flashed into Jiang Ming's mind.

From the genius queen within the Zerg, to the unassuming yet incredibly promising ascetics among the vassal races, and then to certain special life forms
"very good."

Jiang Ming felt a chill in his heart.

"Prioritize screening targets that are isolated or on the verge of battle, including those of the Marquis rank and below."

"By mobilizing authority, under the guise of 'strategic probing,' 'special reconnaissance,' or 'resource point protection,' instructions are issued to these targets, guiding them to these coordinate areas."

Several coordinates appeared in Jiang Ming's mind. These locations were scattered throughout the second battlefield, mostly in star fields with harsh environments, strong signal interference, or where skirmishes had just taken place. They were far from the core of the main battlefield, making it easy to take action and difficult to be detected.

"Instruction being generated"
The command stream of the supreme commander has been embedded, and the command has been issued in accordance with the algorithm logic verification.

Crimson Flame is extremely efficient, utilizing Jiang Ming's authority and the algorithm logic provided by the Lord of Bilong.

These mobilization orders were seamlessly integrated into the massive war data stream, like drops of water flowing into the ocean, without causing the slightest abnormal fluctuation.

After doing all this, Jiang Ming's compound eyes refocused on the star map, as if nothing had happened.

He continued to process the countless messages coming from the front lines efficiently, issuing one cold, hard order after another.

But in some corners of that vast battlefield, change had already begun.

……

Dark dust and clouds, a fragmented galaxy that has just experienced a small-scale conflict.

A squad of more than ten warriors from the vassal race 'Ironbone Clan' has just defeated a human squad.

The captain, an immortal 'Hegu' of the Ironbone Clan with the initial rank of Marquis, received new instructions from command.

[Instruction Number: XJ-77473]

[Access Level: Level 2 Encryption]

[Content: Special Operations Squad 'Hebone' is to immediately proceed to the area at coordinates (K77, B91, S12) to infiltrate and reconnoiter a suspected secret human supply point in the area.]

Priority: High. All means are permitted to confirm the intelligence. [Note: Spatial fluctuations in this area are abnormal; the situation is unclear. Collect environmental data.]

"A new order?"

Hegu's face, composed of hard bones, showed no expression, but a hint of doubt flashed through his soul.

Having just gone through a battle, the squad needed to rest. This reconnaissance mission came somewhat abruptly, and the coordinates were quite far from their current location.

However, the order came from the highest command, the encryption level was correct, and it complied with wartime regulations.

The algorithm recommends a success rate of 61.7% for performing this task, which is within an acceptable range.

"Form ranks! New coordinates, let's go!"

Hegu didn't think much of it; during wartime, strange orders were commonplace.

He led his squad, boarding a warship and swiftly heading towards the designated star system.

The same thing was happening simultaneously in different corners of the second battlefield.

A genius realm master from the Zerg faction received a mission to 'escort important supplies' to a remote outpost.

A lone vassal clan member, at the peak of his rank, was assigned to 'eliminate' a roving human remnant army whose strength was exactly equal to his own.

Each seemingly reasonable command, "endorsed" by the war algorithm, acts like a precise fishhook, silently leading the selected "fish" to the predetermined fishing spot.

Jiang Ming sat upright in the main control chamber, his compound eyes reflecting the changing stars, while the torrent of war seemed to flow docilely at his fingertips.

His will, however, has transformed into countless invisible tentacles, quietly extending to every corner of the battlefield through the Zerg's tight war network.

Shattered Star Ring, K77 Star Region.

The saucer-shaped warship carrying the Ironbone Clan's immortal Hebone slowly glided out of the dark universe and arrived near the target coordinates.

What came into view was an extremely chaotic and fragmented starry sky.

Huge planetary fragments tumbled slowly, distorted nebulous material emitted eerie radiation, and spatial folds were visible everywhere, severely interfering with the operation of the detection equipment.

It was eerily quiet here, with only the faint afterglow of distant, extinct stars providing a dim light source.

"Scanning the surrounding area revealed low energy levels and no obvious signs of creation were detected."

A soldier in the squad reported, his eyes flashing with data as he looked at the data screen on his arm guard.

"It matches the characteristics of residual spatial fluctuations, and no signs of human resupply points were found."

He Gu's bony palm rubbed against the armrest of the conductor's chair, and the unease in his soul grew stronger.

"Stay vigilant and expand the scanning area. Command's intelligence doesn't come from nowhere."

The moment he finished speaking!

hum!
A bizarrely shaped Zerg force, covered entirely in dark bone armor and exuding a chilling abyssal aura, appeared silently around the Ironbone Clan's warships, completely sealing off all escape routes.

Their appearance is completely different from that of ordinary Zerg units. Their carapaces are naturally engraved with dark gold patterns, and their compound eyes are pure black, without any emotional fluctuations.

Leading the pack was a slightly smaller, but exceptionally terrifying and restrained, blade-like alien. It raised its gleaming, scythe-like forelimbs, pointing them at the Ironbone Clan's warship.

"what?!"

"Not a Terran! It's an unknown Zerg unit?!"

"Warning! Unidentifiable! Extremely high energy level! Threat level cannot be determined!"

The Ironbone Clan squad was instantly thrown into chaos; the wildly fluctuating data on the detector sent chills down their spines.

This type of Zerg has never been found in the database before!
He Gu's pupils shrank sharply, his soul core trembled violently, and a fear originating from his life instinct seized him.

But the next moment, the Ironbone warriors on the entire spaceship froze, their consciousness sinking into boundless darkness.
