Chapter 445: Orphinea
"Let's take a look at the support we can provide you." Harry opened the closed metal lab door and was the first to enter.
Inside the door is an open, gray space overall. As soon as Strange stepped into it, he sensitively sensed some kind of shattered spatial power from all around. It seems that the surrounding area is full of spatial cracks and instability, and if you take a wrong step, you will fall into a dangerous spatial turbulence.
"Don't worry, the power here isn't as dangerous as you think, it's just a mimic of the environment. Techniques such as greenhouse cultivation that are similar to human reversibility. The path we are taking now is safe. Seeing Strange's changing face, Harry took the initiative to explain.
"Don't tell me you've got some kind of creature in this environment." Strange touched the ring on his finger, relieved himself slightly, and said as he followed Harry forward.
Harry simply smiled at Strange's inquiry, and after navigating an area, he seemed to teleport to the interior of a ruined hall. On the walls and open space of the main hall are placed one after another black oval cylindrical encapsules, which are stacked like goods and stacked neatly.
"Bruder Zerg. It is not a subspecies, but a protozoa with the most potential. When we got it, we were amazed that there was such a near-perfect life in the world! They have near-infinite evolutionary potential, and in addition to their own powers, they can gain all the knowledge and power of their host through parasitism. If they possess intelligence, they are a race of intelligence that is even better than the so-called Skrulls, and even far surpasses. As he walked, Harry reached out and gently stroked the neat ovals, and said softly as if he were afraid to wake up the life in the columns.
"Of course, these embryos are carefully selected and stored. Since acquiring Bruder's habitat, Osborne Industries has issued a large number of missions through the Temporal Authority, sending a large number of warriors to capture them.
It then took a long time to observe and understand them, and finally used Osborne's biotechnology to optimize them again and again. You know, optimizing a creature that's already close to perfection is a challenge in itself. Osborne did it! And what is stored here is the crystallization of success. They can even parasitize dimensional creatures that are as powerful as some demon gods. ”
"Sounds perfect." Strange chimed in.
"No, no, no, their aggressive and cruel nature is hard to change. They are intelligent, cunning, but a keen hunting people. There is no such thing as a perfect race in this world. Harry shook his finger and said no. I've had some information about the annihilation of the swarm, so you and I know that unless you're powerful enough to do it, you're going to be going to be able to solve this big problem on your own. Otherwise, the Supreme Mage wouldn't have asked you to come over this time, would he? ”
"You mean, you want me to take your swarm to fight against the swarm of another universe?" Strange had already guessed Harry's intention of bringing him here, and now he simply asked.
"So to speak." Harry nodded, "Although from the perspective of intelligence, the Bruder Zerg may still have a gap with the Annihilation Zerg in terms of strength, but this gap is not irreparable. As long as Bruder is given a chance and time, they will become a super zerg that rivals or even surpasses the annihilation of the insect swarm. ”
"Sounds good. You have obtained specimens and materials to annihilate the Zerg, and you have obtained a terrifying Super Zerg through fighting and evolution. But the question is, if it's really as powerful as you say it is, how are you going to control it? Strange was clear about Harry's plans, but he didn't turn them down. According to his make-up lessons and understanding these days, even without him, this Harry in front of him has other ways to achieve his goals, and he took the initiative to contact himself through Stephen in this universe, I'm afraid it's more just to give Stephen face.
As a former doctor, he knows all too well the lawlessness of these biotech giants. Harry in front of him had a temperament and style that he was once familiar with.
"The Zerg are a race with a clear division of labor. They have a hierarchy of fighters and managers. Harry was not surprised by Strange's question, but calmly answered.
"The Queen?" Strange raised an eyebrow.
"The Queen of the Swarm." Harry repeated Strange's speculation and gave it an affirmative tone. "The queen has absolute control over the swarm under her command, and controlling a queen is equivalent to controlling a group of zerg."
"Would you like to meet your future companion now?" Harry asked softly as he looked at Strange with his hands in the pockets of his coat. Influenced by Hebleur, this drab research suit has become the top-to-bottom internal standard for all transverse businesses.
"You said that they are cruel by nature and keen to hunt. I'd also like to know how you tamed them. Strange took two steps back, making room for Harry.
"yes, they're hard to tame. But knowledge and technology always work wonders, don't they? Harry reached out of his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
A curtain of light rippled behind Harry like ripples of water, and then a large insect with multiple eyes and a tail that occupied two-thirds of his body appeared behind Harry. The hideous mouthparts were hanging over Harry's head, and Strange was worried that the big bug would swallow Harry whole from below.
However, Harry was clearly unaware of the danger, or rather he trusted the queen behind him.
"Orfinia, a collaborator of Osborne Industries." Harry turned to the side, pointed to the Zerg Queen behind him, and then to Strange opposite: "Stephen Strange of another universe, a new member of the Doctor Strange group. ”
"The third Strange? Hopefully he's just as interesting as the first two. Orfinia held out a large forelimb in Strange's direction.
"Wow, you know human language and can communicate with people?" Strange reached out and shook the forelimb that Orfinia had handed him that was larger than his body, admiring the gentle female voice that appeared in his head, and gave Harry a puzzled look.
Didn't you say that the Bruder Zerg are cruel and savage by nature, and love to hunt and kill? How could he not feel any murderous intent or threat from Orfinia's voice and body?
"The Bruder Zerg have a certain amount of intelligence, but they are more inclined to beasts than intelligent species. Possessed wisdom and calmness with our help, Orfinia is a relatively human-friendly and mild-tempered queen. Our cooperation has always been a pleasure. The embryos here are, strictly speaking, Orfinia's children, and she naturally has absolute control over them. Harry read Strange's look and gave an answer.
"Rest assured, I've worked with members of Doctor Strange's team, and I know your rules. I'll cooperate with you on this mission, as long as you don't stop me from devouring the genes of the annihilation swarm. I competed against the other queens to get this opportunity. Orfinia's voice was still gentle, like a kind lady. They allow me to evolve to the next level, setting myself apart from the other Bruder queens. (End of chapter)
