Chapter 348: Superbody Evolution

The Void Breeders suddenly showed extraordinary synergy, and the beast that had been sent to death was gone, replaced by a "legion of space creatures" that had been suspected of being dispatched.

At first, the various civilizations and intellectual creatures in the galaxy thought that the "hunter" civilization was remotely controlling these "void breeds", but after trying all means to detect anomalous signals outside the galaxy, they still gave up this idea.

Combined with the abnormal "evolutionary" ability displayed by the "Void Breed", they finally came to the conclusion that the "Void Breed" had evolved "intelligence" for inexplicable reasons.

The biggest difference between intellectual life and pure beasts lies in the word "wisdom", with these two words, groups can form civilizations, individuals can evolve into "divine beasts", and all complex changes are inseparable from "wisdom".

If the "Void Breed" does give birth to wisdom, then it will undoubtedly add many variables to the extermination operation.

However, after a series of speculations and sample collection, the "Far Traveler" extracted a nerve cell similar to a swarm from the brains of several "Void Breeders", which made the intelligence form of the "Void Breeders" roughly determined to be a certain degree of "hive consciousness".

Similar to "Presorin", the collective consciousness is composed of a central consciousness or multiple semi-autonomous central consciousnesses, and the central consciousness will determine the movement of the entire group.

In other words, there may be a "queen" in these "Void Breeds" who control other "Void Breeds" in the galaxy.

Based on the possibility of this hive consciousness, the "Assimilation Fighters" responsible for maintaining and researching the "Void Eggs" had to step up the destruction of the eggs, lest these eggs be born early due to the influence of the "Void Breed", even if the vast majority of them were still early in the "hatching borderline" state.

In order to encircle and suppress these "void breeds", in addition to the ether dragon, "Presorin", and the unmanned fleet dispatched by Li Wenyuan, the "Far Traveler" and the "Assimilation Fighter" also joined this encirclement and suppression war.

At this time, the queen of "Presorin" also led her warriors, constantly shuttling through the galaxy, looking for the lonely "Void Breeder".

Ever since the Void Breeders began to gather in premeditated groups, it had been difficult for her to find any more opportunities to attack.

If she exerts the strength of the entire race, she may be able to reach the same level as the number of "Void Breeders" in this galaxy.

But this time it's not "life or death", she's just here for a tentative revenge and a complete cleansing of the nightmare shrouded in genes.

At first, the ease with which she eliminated these former enemies did give her a sense of relief, but as the Void Breed behaved more and more abnormally, she seemed to recall the painful memories of her race being slaughtered.

She could only keep running from galaxy to galaxy, trying to dispel the dark clouds in her heart.

Suddenly, her sensitive psionic perception sensed an anomalous psionic reaction in a galaxy not far away, and the scale was not strong, about the level of a "void breeder".

In the current galactic environment, apart from her and her warriors, only the "Void Breed" can send this kind of psionic signal.

In this regard, she also had to admit that the "Void Breed" did have a strange evolutionary ability that was even more powerful than them, and even after being tortured by psionic energy for a period of time, she gave birth to a psionic potential that was enough to use.

Although it is still far inferior to them, it will definitely have strong potential over time.

And according to the information shared, the queen knew that this reaction evolution of the "Void Breed" was suspected to be able to make the rest of the "Void Breed" evolve similar abilities through some kind of void conduction.

For example, the sudden "pseudo-dragon breath beam", such as the carapace that can resist a considerable degree of heat, such as the inexplicable spiritual power, these are all confirmed by the rest of the "Void Breeds", and all the "Void Breeds" seem to have evolved these abilities.

With these circumstances in mind, Presolin was also cautious about this psionic signal, and first contacted the Far Wanderer, who had better sensor detection skills than her, to determine if there was any trap behind the psionic signal.

But what she didn't expect was that this time the response came quite quickly, almost as soon as she gave the signal, she received a response.

【…… No...... Multiply...... Zizi ...... No anomalous ......]

The response seemed to be disturbed, somewhat intermittent, but the queen still roughly understood the meaning, and the psionic signal represented indeed a lone "Void Breeder".

"In memory...... The closest nearby ally is the Far Traveler...... Reply so fast...... It's because ...... Are there any of their sensors around here? ”

Although she hesitated slightly, the Queen of Presolin made her way to her destination, believing in her companion and recognizing the response signal that only mechanical devices can emit.

However, when she arrived at the place, the queen sensed that something was wrong.

The psionic signal remains, but as the distance gets closer, the queen discovers that the signal is fixed in a place in the galaxy, waiting like a decoy for the prey to throw itself into the net.

At this moment, the sense of crisis in the queen's heart suddenly reached its peak, in addition to the keen perception brought by the spiritual energy, she also had a powerful sixth sense, and she didn't even have to think about whether the mechanical signal just now was abnormal, and she was ready to turn around and leave this galaxy directly.

But in the next instant, a group of "Void Breeders" who didn't know where to hide suddenly appeared and surrounded Queen "Presorin".

They seem to have been ambushed here for a long time, and each one has a fierce face, and in addition to tyranny, you can see a certain greed as if you have seen a delicious taste.

- They are still using Presolin as food, as they have done in the past, and they have apparently been instructed to set a trap specifically for this purpose to hunt and kill Presolin.

But these are not the main points of the Queen's attention, what shocks the Queen is the extra mechanical parts of these "Void Breeds".

One of the wings has a circuit engraved on the back, and while the wings vibrate at high speed, an electric current is generated, and a signal that closely resembles the communication signal of the "Far Traveler" is emitted.

In this way, it simulates the mechanical signals unique to mechanical life, and the rest of the "Void Breeds" also have more or less mechanical parts, such as a metal head, a mechanical reactor placed outside the body with blood vessels as wiring, and thrusters that replace tails......

Like a synthetic beast of machinery and biology, these "void breeds" look strange and full of a sense of biological harmony like natural evolution, as if the mechanical bodies on their bodies were "naturally grown", although visually discordant, they can achieve physiological perfection.

"These guys...... A new evolution has taken place? The Queen was shocked by the change in the form of these "Void Breeds".

No one in this galaxy will give them this kind of "prosthetic transformation", which means that these mechanized organizations are the result of another round of evolution of the "Void Breeders" themselves.

While it is unclear what kind of inducement could have induced the Void Breed to undergo this evolution, the Queen has not received this information from anyone else before, meaning that she was the first to discover the new form of the Void Breed.

"No...... Gotta get the word out to the rest of the people......"

Without any hesitation, the Queen of Presolin immediately used a psionic link to contact her "Communication Bug" hidden outside the battlefield.

This special functional entity hides in imperceptible places such as planets and meteorite belts, and acts as a relay station for biological signaling, as well as a backhand for the queen to "resurrect".

Each "communication worm" has an independent reproductive organ and a specific nervous tissue, which can once again contain the queen's huge consciousness, even if the queen's body dies on the battlefield, as long as the consciousness can be transferred to the alien before then, even if only a part of it, the queen can be born again.

This is a biotechnology that "Presolin" was once proud of, and it can assume the function of an information center and a "resurrection point" at the same time.

But now when it is used again, Queen "Presorin" feels a tremor in her heart.

She rarely used this insect differentiation when she was in the galaxy, and she never used it since she left the galaxy, because countless generations of queens in the past have also used this method to "resurrect", and then repeatedly torn apart and eaten by the "Void Breed", and they have enjoyed it.

Many queens could no longer endure such pain, and chose to die completely at one point, no longer transferring consciousness, leaving only a small part of the seed of consciousness, and carrying the history of "Presorin" to let the insect grow into a new queen.

And that pain from ancient times seems to have been added to the current queen, making her consciousness of transmitting psionic signals half a beat slower.

But she quickly became firm again, discarding the illusions that shouldn't have been on her in the first place, and passed on the news that the "Void Breed" had evolved again.

The communication insects began to transmit commands under the influence of psionic powers, and their size changed further in order to communicate.

A worm buried deep inside the meteorite suddenly grows like a plant seed out of the ground with a granulation, and soon forms a fleshy layer similar to a "sunflower" on the surface of the meteorite, which begins to absorb stellar light.

At this time, the meteorite was at the perihelion, and it was the time when the energy absorption efficiency was the highest, and the signal that had been transformed from psionic energy also exploded and spread in all directions.

And the Queen of Presorin herself, with her warriors, rushed towards the "Void Breed" who had come to "hunt" them.

This batch of "Void Breeders" has the same number as them, and seems to think that this number is enough to hunt them down.

"That's the only amount...... Is it to look down on us! The violence of the Queen of "Presorin" was also aroused, and after so long farming, they almost forgot that they were originally eating meat.

They are also now a group of "reborn" people, and they are never defeated by these "void breeders" who have only hatched from their eggs for a long time.

I saw that these "Void Wolves" spewed out a weakened version of the dragon's breath beam from afar, like a salvo of the main guns of a battleship, heading straight for the "Presorin".

They may also know that the original acid attack is too stretching, so they use the "Dragon's Breath Attack" they have experienced to deal with the enemy.

But the "Presorin" are fearless, and the weakened version of the dragon's breath is naturally not as strong as the original version, not to mention that it was evolved on the way to be "roasted", and the temperature is not too high.

They don't even need to use their psionic energy to deflect these attacks, they can resist them with their physical bodies.

A fiery burning sensation emanated from the area of the blow, but it was only the epidermis, and the only pain further fueled the ferocity of "Presorin".

At the same time as they were hit, their speed increased to a higher level, and in a short time, they rushed to a position extremely close to the "Void Breed".

Choosing to be born from the "Planet Egg" made them huge, but it also made them lose most of their ranged attack capabilities, and in order to prevent the only ranged attack method from being re-adapted by the Void Breeder, "Presolin" opted for hand-to-hand combat.

And the "Void Breeder" didn't seem to expect these former subordinates to be so able to resist, so they also gave up the attack of breath and started hand-to-hand combat instead.

However, in terms of body structure, the "Void Breeders" are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, although they have no limbs like the "Presolin", but the mouthparts of the "Presolin", or the jaws, are convex and biting-like structures similar to those of predators, while the front jaws of the "Void Breeders" are more like functional ornaments, in order to send food into their crab-like mouthparts for easy chewing.

The Presolin had long planned to return as "beasts" to bite their enemies to death, but these newborn "void breeders" apparently did not have such foresight.

After a few hand-to-hand combats, the wings were mechanical "Void Breeders" whose wings were torn off, and those with reactors outside their bodies were also smashed to pieces, and the metal head was even worse, its head was pulled out entirely, and it was killed on the spot.

The "Void Breeders" who had not undergone the evolution of "hand-to-hand combat" soon collapsed, but just as "Presolin" was about to continue to kill the killers, one of the "Void Breeders" was suddenly stunned, and the light of wisdom inexplicably appeared in the murderous eyes.

Just as the "Void Breeder" with wisdom descended on this one, it looked at the queen and suddenly communicated with the special signal of "Presorin":

“…… You're Presolin, right? It's been a long time, but I still remember your breath......"

"You're actually very similar to us, and if it weren't for the creation of people, we might still be able to become allies......"

"But that's all in the past, you don't need to bear the pain of the past, there will be no eternal enemies."

"If you are willing to join us, then I can share our secrets with you, so that you can also have the power of 'super-body evolution' and 'soar' with our master, so that you don't have to suffer from hunger anymore."

This "Void Breeder" actually began to persuade the Queen of "Presorin" to turn against the water on the spot, and his words were seductive, as if he was sure that "Presorin" could not bear this temptation.

However, how can family feuds be extinguished so easily?

The queen replied simply, "Die!" Then he killed all the remaining "Void Breeds".

Bathed in the blood of these void lives, the queen seemed to feel the call of the souls of her people.

She can surrender to anyone, just like when facing a powerful and perverted human being, "the one who knows the times is the handsome", but everything related to the "hunter", she will never surrender.

This is the final "evolution" of the "Presolin", the humble people called the "Refugees".
