Those who reincarnate must die.

The sights on the fifth planet utterly shocked humanity. Afterward, the Inkfish reconnaissance team went to other planets to investigate. After circling the Red Stream system for a long time, they finally confirmed one thing.

This galaxy has undergone a brutal and inhumane annihilation, leaving only a small number of remnants of both the Berserkers and the Zerg, barely clinging to life...

Who did this? And who has the ability to do such a thing?

Countless question marks popped into Katarina's head, but one thing she knew for sure was that right now, as long as humanity sent out an army, they could easily conquer this star system!

Could this be the Commander's true intention? But how did he know that the Bloodlust and the Zerg would suffer heavy losses? What's the connection between them?

There was no time to lose. Such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Katarina immediately ordered her troops to cross the star path and begin the occupation of the Crimson Stream Star System!

While humanity was busy conquering the Crimson Stream, Zhang Lang had already traveled through the Bloodlust Star Path to his next planned location: the Carban System.

This place is larger and has more planets than the Crimson Stream Galaxy, attracting a fierce battle among three forces.

One side is naturally the Bloodlust faction, while the other two are Cyber ​​and Ethereal.

Cyberbots are a race skilled in mechanical modification and consciousness uploading. Their entire race's consciousness, or soul, is stored in a vast network, allowing for constant uploading and downloading. Therefore, the armies, soldiers, and even every weapon on the battlefield actually harbor the consciousness of a cybernetic individual. Furthermore, because everyone is connected to the internet, even if the carrier of consciousness is destroyed, it has little impact on the consciousness itself.

It can be said that the characteristic of the Cyber ​​race is that its military strength depends solely on its production capacity; as long as there are enough factories, there will be enough soldiers.

On this ethereal side, there was a strange race that Zhang Lang had never seen before. They were less like living beings and more like clouds of sandstorms, their bodies able to switch between solid, liquid, and gaseous states, extremely adaptable to the environment, and able to change shape and size at will, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Their technology was developed specifically to address these peculiar characteristics. They possess no weapons in the conventional sense, and even their creations are barely visible. The "tools" of all the ethereal races are themselves. A single ethereal being can transform into almost any form to cope with different situations. When a problem arises that a single ethereal being cannot solve, a large number of ethereal individuals will aggregate to form a colossal ethereal being of immense power.

These colossal, ethereal entities can transform into massive war machines, wreaking havoc on the battlefield, or they can become spaceships, traversing space and galactic paths.

It can be said that the more ethereal things come together, the stronger and more solid they become.

Therefore, the battle scenes between these two sides were indeed quite bizarre.

On one hand, there are all sorts of strange and wonderful mechanical legions... Because they are all controlled by the uploaded consciousness, they are not bound by their appearance. So the battlefield is basically filled with cannons with two legs, airplanes with three cannons, or even groups of unconventional soldiers with mechanical octopuses.

Their opponents, on the other hand, were sandstorms of varying sizes. These sandstorms moved and swirled, penetrating everywhere. During battle, they would suddenly condense into steel blades and swords, which even mechanical armor could hardly withstand!

Compared to the two sides, Berserker Blood is arguably the most normal...

Faced with this chaotic battlefield, Zhang Lang only cared about how many points he could earn.

After some simple experiments, he discovered that each different type of Cyber's mechanical army was considered a new monster, totaling several hundred types. As for the Misty Army, it could only be divided into several categories based on the number of units it aggregated, and at most, only five or six types of monsters could be assembled.

These sandstorms aren't worth much. If they were all like the Cyber ​​Legion, wouldn't I be making a fortune?

However, during the battle, Zhang Lang discovered a strange characteristic of Piaomiao: it reacted to his return to simplicity!

Indeed, the way of existence of ethereal beings is defined as "unscientific" by Back to Basics. Although this is a world dominated by science fiction, there is an "unscientific" species.

That makes it simple. To eliminate Piaomiao, Zhang Lang unleashed his full power. Wherever he passed, Piaomiao disintegrated and died in large swaths, turning into real dust that drifted away with the wind.

Zhang Lang also felt an unprecedented pressure from the Collapse Force. Although the effect of the Collapse Force became stronger as his attributes increased, his Yin and Yang attributes hadn't increased much, and the endurance after using it on a large scale was always a problem. This time, in order to improve efficiency, Zhang Lang could only exhaust himself countless times.

To make a long story short, after spending several days clearing out the three major races of the Carban system, Zhang Lang followed the star path to the next system. Soon after, the human expeditionary force followed, arriving according to the battle plan he had left behind, and began a new round of battlefield cleanup.

And so, Zhang Lang traversed the Proon Star Sector, interacting with almost every race. Wherever he went, he slaughtered armies and left planets behind, displaying extreme barbarity.

Behind him, humanity's expeditionary force followed, occupying and building, busy as bees...

Such a high-profile act naturally attracted the attention of all races.

These races are all powerful civilizations in the universe, and in the Proon sector, they only sent a portion of their forces to compete for resources. Defeat in one or two star systems is insignificant to their entire civilization. However, the speed and strangeness of this defeat warrant serious attention.

According to reports from the front lines, this newly emerged force calling itself humanity is conquering the planet at an astonishing speed. Moreover, the races they have defeated still cannot explain what weapons they used; large numbers of their armies simply die suddenly and inexplicably.

Some of these cases are caused by natural disasters, such as meteor showers, solar storms, planetary-level earthquakes, etc. These are somewhat understandable, but some are completely inexplicable. For example, the Misty Clan suddenly suffered mass deaths on the battlefield, and they still haven't found the cause.

In these bizarre circumstances, all eyewitness reports point to an unbelievable fact.

That is, a human appeared on these battlefields!

That's right, not a human army, not even some human superweapon, just an ordinary, unremarkable human. He was like an outpost of the human army; as soon as he appeared, within a few days, other races in this star system would be severely damaged, and then the human army would come to clean up the mess!

What... exactly is going on?
