Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

Chapter 86: As expected, being a wizard is a profession for academic geniuses, proficient in all majors?

Thinking about this, Wayne couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. As expected, being a wizard is a profession for academic geniuses!

This involves the integration and application of various knowledge theories, as well as the endless learning of various subjects.

When encountering problems, solving problems, and when facing limitations in one's own path of witchcraft, it is also necessary to study witchcraft abilities in other disciplines.

The various magical models, theoretical knowledge, and vast amounts of related books required to learn each type of magical skill are no easy task.

Putting aside other things, for example, the courses required for potion studies include "Basic Theory of Potion Studies", "Potion Recipes", "A Brief Analysis of the Mutual Exclusion Between Different Elemental Elements", and "The Application Principles of Explosive Agents".

In addition, it includes the following courses required for alchemy: "Introduction to Chemistry and Alchemy", "Basic Alchemy Knowledge", and "The Process of Phase Changes of Matter".

All of these require studying and learning day and night, and involve various calculations related to data and theory.

And then there's the interrelationship between various experiments... Thinking about all this, Wayne couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

This is practically like humanity's continuous attempt to climb to the pinnacle of intelligence!

If we were to draw an analogy, the breadth and depth of knowledge contained within a wizard would be in no way inferior to the knowledge base of some academicians and scholars on Earth in the past.

Through continuous research and experimentation, we accumulate experience and master knowledge.

The path to knowledge and the pursuit of truth is the way for wizards to continuously strengthen themselves and control various powerful forces.

Fortunately, he had the assistance of the [Hive] AI, a modern intelligent system based on the technology of his previous life on Earth, which he had come from.

It possesses functions such as analysis, integration, and recording, giving it a unique advantage that other aspiring wizards do not have. This is truly my great fortune.

"However, thinking back to what Professor Morse originally said..."

At this moment, Wayne recalled all the insect swarms, leaving the surroundings empty once again. He stroked his chin and pondered.

Thinking back to what his mentor Morse had told him a few days ago, he thought it would be best to master one or two more witchcraft skills.

And preferably, it should be a defensive type of sorcery trick.

In the future, I will try to solidify it into my own innate witchcraft, forming a solidified witchcraft that will constantly surround me and form a defensive force field.

This will be a huge boost to oneself.

Wayne's eyes flickered.

But how should we do it?

After thinking for a moment, Wayne suddenly had an idea and pulled an old black stone box from the pocket at his waist.

Inside, upon opening, was a dried-up insect corpse.

This is an interpretation of biological evolution that I provided to my mentor Morse when he was researching related topics: the theory of natural selection.

Deeply inspired at the time, Morse's mentor gave himself a reward.

Next, Wayne tapped the surface of the stone box a few times in a specific order.

As a scream rang out from the surface of the box, the painted face at the seal revealed a ferocious and painful expression.

Then, the face split into several pieces, and the stone box was opened. Inside the box was the remains of an insect corpse.

This insect corpse resembled both a scorpion and a dragon, measuring one foot and two inches in length.

The torso is made up of seven sections of dark gold bone armor, each with a naturally growing spiral energy circuit on its surface.

"When I first tried to connect, I almost had my mental energy drained. It was Hive Intelligence that finally forcibly severed the mental connection."

"According to the feedback from Hive Intelligence, in order to load those images and knowledge, one's mental strength needs to reach at least 30 points."

"Now that I've met the requirements, I can take a look at what strange secrets are hidden inside this insect corpse!"

So, what happens next?

With a thought, a pale blue, transparent, illusory thread emerged from between Wayne's eyebrows and connected to the insect corpse.

[Connecting...]

Next, as the connection was established, the images before Wayne's eyes shifted, still showing the scenes he had seen before:

In a desolate, barren, dark space filled with stardust and the stench of blood.

It is a mixture of the vast solitude of an ice field, the low-frequency resonance of a swarm of bees flapping their wings, and a shadow of a presence so immense it is suffocating.

In the vast and boundless space, there is a huge mothership carrying stars, silently hovering in the dark space.

Furthermore, it has several insect nests on it, revealing a network of veins on its back.

There was no response from beyond the Star Abyss. Our plan... has failed. Next, we will begin... to devour the stars.

The words were still the same.

However, this time, after reaching the mental strength of a first-class wizard apprentice, the scene was much more stable when I loaded these images.

Unlike last time, I didn't nearly faint due to mental overload.

And then, another line of newly parsed language appeared before Wayne's eyes.

It must be because after one's mental strength reached a certain level, some kind of deep text imprinted on the insect corpse's skeleton could be deciphered and presented before one's eyes.

[Alternative Plan: Following the will of the Zerg hive, we will break into smaller groups and disperse "Zerg egg seeds" across other planes to ensure the survival of our race...]

[A suitable level of mental energy host has been detected. The conditions for "uncocooning" have been met. Please enter the swarm code.]

Next, a network of vein-like structures appeared in front of me, forming a structure similar to a coded dial.

"Swarm coding?"

Upon seeing this string of text, Wayne was taken aback. What swarm code? How would he know this?

But... wait!

Wayne suddenly remembered that when the insect corpse was scanned and analyzed, there was a three-dimensional structure on its surface.

And there seem to be some symbols or characters on the surface.

So, immediately.

Wayne's mind stirred, and he gave a command to the Hive AI in his mind.

"Deep scan the internal structure of the insect carcass to look for any related coded text and extract all text information!"

Scanning in progress...

Next, several strands of spirit binding emerged from Wayne's brow, extending forward and connecting to the insect corpses before him.

The tips of the filaments gleamed with a subtle light, like a probe beam under a microscope, seeping inch by inch into the spiral patterns on the surface of the carapace.

Under the energy perspective, those patterns seemed to begin to flow. Pale blue data appeared before Wayne's eyes, constantly refreshing like a waterfall.

Within the [Honeycomb] intelligence, construct a perspective view of the insect corpse's interior and establish its spatial structure model.

Furthermore, as the scan continued, more information was extracted from the remains.

[Unnatural markings detected on the body surface. Feature analysis and fuzzy comparison are in progress... Comparison complete, extracting identifiable fragments!]
