Chapter 116: The Fear of Not Being Recognized
Kashgarta has been floating in the universe for too long.
The world of nothingness, the world without any human beings, the light emitted by countless huge planets under the reason of over-the-horizon arrived at the eyes of Kashtar, and only stars remained.
Countless stars are dotted against a huge dark background to form a graceful starry sky scene. With such a beautiful picture, Kashtar just thought with malice that perhaps the star system represented by each point of light had a planet full of human beings, waiting for her to be infected and transformed.
Kashtar is indeed looking forward to the moment of infection.
Fragile limbs are reshaped, and fragile skin is mutated more resiliently. At the moment when he wantonly used the alienation virus to infect, transform, and sublimate human beings, Kashtar seemed to have become a creation god - unlike Sarnagar who created the alien insect and was devoured against, the alienated combat body guided and created by Kashtar was full of loyalty to Kashtar. As long as Kashtar gives an order, the alienated combat body will never slack off and flock to the enemy.
Either the enemy is annihilated in the sea of alienated warforms, or in difficult and long battles, the alienated warbodies weaken the enemy.
Both are scenes that Kashtar is keen to see.
Alas.
The test samples of the alien combatants and healthy humans brought from the planet Meinhof have been depleted, and with the lack of test samples, the upgrading and modification of the alienated virus has stalled.
Kashtar is in desperate need of a planet full of humanity and a weak defense.
The characteristics of Kashtar's hive are very clear, and there are no additional evolutions and upgrades for regular alien units, such as alien insects, cockroaches, and stinging snakes. The biggest feature of her hive unit is infection.
Yes, a planet full of human civilians, with the help of many modified alien viruses, she was able to turn this planet into her own infected planet in a matter of days.
She put almost all her essence and energy into the [Alien Virus], a unique technology of Kashtar, so that her jumping insects, stinging snakes, cockroaches, and even flying dragons were far weaker than the insect mothers of the same period. As for the powerful ground assault unit, the Thunder Beast. Kashgar Tower does not have its essence.
In Kashta's eyes, the Thunder Beast is nothing more than a stupid product of a reckless assault position, and the best way to use infection to disintegrate the enemy from within is the best way - because Kashtar's lack of attention to the original alien insect units of the swarm, as well as the excessive investment in the alienated virus, have caused Kashtar to fall into a kind of dead loop.
The insect swarm with low combat effectiveness cannot break through the defense line made by the human army, cannot break through the defense line, naturally cannot spread the virus on a large scale, cannot spread the alienation virus on a large scale, naturally cannot obtain a steady stream of troops, and cannot tear apart the human army. Even if a small number of humans are infected by suicidal transmission using a unit carrying the virus, a reacting human army will eliminate the infected and prevent the virus from spreading.
After Meinhoff was infected, almost the entire human race in the star sector knew about the infected, and also knew how to strangle the infected in the early stage to avoid the occurrence of infection.
After a series of infections frustrated, Kashtar began to doubt his life.
The Alien Virus is indeed very powerful, but in the early stage of infection, the infected body infected by the Alien Virus is very easy to be killed by the intervention of human forces. If you have to infect an entire planet, a phage made up of countless infected people can do it. Specially designed to infect an entire planet, the phage can spray the air containing countless alienated viruses into the stratosphere, and the virus slowly infects the entire planet with the flow of air.
It will take time, and it will take the infected body on the planet's surface to reach a level where it can protect the phage. And before everything has begun to infect, then everything is just empty talk.
After multiple failed infections, Kashtar decided to lead Besmos back to Char. This insect in Char's main nest group has recorded countless insect mothers who have worked tirelessly to find or research the essence, Kashta intends to return to Char and upgrade his existing insect essence, which has lagged behind the world. By the way, replenish the missing thunderbeast essence.
Besmos of Kashtar slowly changed direction and prepared to leap. However, when Besmos's leaping organs fluctuated strongly in psionic energy, Kashtar began to regret it. In the battle against the Wild Insects or the Tyranid Empire or the Star Spirits, Kashtar did not show anything outstanding and could boast of his achievements.
She was afraid of being ridiculed by the other worm mothers.
The Queen of Blades naturally doesn't care about these useless feats, she herself is synonymous with victory, and in countless wars, she has achieved absolute victory. And all she cared about was the collection of Sarnagar artifacts - in fact, it was really hard to find. In the connection of the mind of the main nest, Kashtar had not yet felt that the Queen of Blades had commended any of the worm mothers who had found the artifact.
Returning to the topic, Kashtar is afraid that when he returns to Char, he will meet many of his colleagues. Likes to brag about how many Imperial troops he's killed or how many Star Spirits' bones he's crushed. Of course, there are also many "heretics" who like to brag about how many hatcheries of wild insects they have eliminated, or how many main nests of wild insects they have controlled. Although these mothers who like to fight against insects are very different, because they are fighting against powerful people, their colleagues show equal respect for these other.
But dealing with Kashtar is completely different.
On Meinhoff, the sea of humanity wiped out by Kashtar was gone. The number of infected people started with hundreds of millions, and all the imperial forces on that planet were wiped out in one go.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Imperial fleet, use nuclear bombs to wash the ground. Kashtar was able to completely turn this planet into a planet where only alien warforms remained.
Kashtar once confidently braged to a worm mother named Chrissa about the hundreds of millions of people she had slaughtered, but her ridicule left Kashtar speechless.
"It's not worth showing off, give me hundreds of millions of jumping insects and I dare to attack the human fleet."
Krissa despised Kashtar's virus, her fragile alienated combat body that couldn't even be defeated by jumping worms, and even more contempt for her tactical literacy.
Crowd tactics? No operation at all!
It was obviously a show-off, but it turned into being humiliated. Although Kashtar is full of confidence in his own virus, he can't stand the discriminatory gaze of other insect mothers!
She was afraid of meeting her colleagues.
