"What is the Aether Worm?"

"Big bugs?"

Evagalon and Evatien looked at the receiving interface in front of Russell with curious eyes, their hands on their knees and slightly bent over, looking very curious.

If Colonia had seen her daughters in front of their master, the sisters would probably have been beaten by their mother. Although the main reason for this situation is that Russell's personality and conversation are too gentle, which is completely inconsistent with the iron-fisted character he set up for the star player, it is difficult for anyone to be in awe of this person after being with him for a long time.

Grey Wind is more like a marshal than Russell.

"yes, a big bug......"

Under the curious gaze of the two, Russell opened the video attachment that accompanied the message.

The hastily rendered blurry picture is not very high-resolution, and it looks like it is still a little dropped, but the really important information has been completely preserved, which does not prevent Russell from recognizing the starry sky monster entrenched next to Pamenio's orbit at a glance.

Layers of flexible scales, translucent cloudy fins that cover the body, and dozens of eyes that shimmer with a dark purple glow...... All kinds of characteristics are exactly the same as Russell's impression of the 'Aether Dragon'.

The only thing that is different is the picture of the giant worm when it opens its mouth.

When the Aether Dragon opened its mouth to breathe, the dazzling light stored in the depths of the dragon's throat could be directly seen from the front of it, and it could be seen that its body was filled with a high-energy core of destructive power, and this core was the heart of the Aether Dragon, enough to support it to spit out the deadly tachyon turbulence that destroyed everything.

When the Aether Giant Worm opened its mouth, it was pitch black, and a surging tide of scarlet mist emerged from its mouth, and Russell took a closer look, and it was an innumerable number of small insect swarms of plankton, densely piled up like a thick fog, completely submerging Pamenio, and a large swarm of creatures could be seen in it.

The form and anatomy of the Aether Dragon, the Tyranid's movement and attacks, and the unique characteristics that bring subspace shadows.

Grey Wind aptly gave this monster its code name, the Aether Worm, a Tyranid unit disguised as a dragon in dragon skin.

"It can't be, it shouldn't be, it's... It's not scientific, how can it be so ......"

Russell clasped his hands in front of his chest and paced back and forth around the seat, and the Spirit Sister looked at him in confusion and frowned and muttered to herself, although she couldn't understand it, she felt so powerful.

"As far as I know, the first hive fleet, Behemoth, won't arrive in the galaxy until about 1700 years away to launch an invasion war against Makulag, the core of the Otlama space, eh...... The galaxy that is now being attacked by the Aether Giant Worm is also located near Macurag, in the right place. ”

"If nothing else, it's likely that this Aether Giant Worm was incarnated by the Hive Fleet that was supposed to invade Macurag after 1700, 'Behemoth'...... But why, it shouldn't be like this, it's too early. ”

The Behemoth Hive fleet was more than a thousand years earlier, nearly two thousand years.

What could have brought the Hive Fleet to the galaxy in the distant future to arrive early? Where did Behemoth get the ability to mimic an Aether Dragon?

"The Hive Fleet that arrived early, the ability to mimic the Aether Dragon...... Mimicry, the Aether Dragon......"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Russell gradually understood everything.

"Yes, that's right, Aether Dragon!"

"Aether Dragon?" Revagalun's eyes were full of doubt.

Russell slammed his fist into the palm of his hand, his face was excited, and his tone was excited: "The Aether Dragon is a creature that is so powerful that it violates the laws of physics, its scale armor has tougher properties than neutron star matter, and such a powerful body structure can even directly perform superluminal jumps in the flesh!" ”

That's right, the Aether Dragon among the stars is a powerful creature capable of interstellar jumps.

This matter had been overlooked by Greywind and Russell intentionally or unintentionally, but once they figured it out, all the doubts surrounding the Aether Giant Worm were solved.

"The hive fleet does not sail fast, they generally lock on to the gravitational well of the star that is closer to them through a special unit called the 'horned whale ship', distort time and space by manipulating gravity, and use gravity to construct a faster-than-light channel, sending themselves to the vicinity of the star's gravity well, and the remaining distance needs to drift slowly through, which is a very long process."

"Beyond the galactic astrolabe is a vast extragalactic abyss, equivalent to the moat of the entire galaxy, and in the vast extragalactic abyss, the hive fleet can hardly find a star that can create a gravitational channel for them to travel faster than light. As a result, the Tyranids can only enter a dormant state and wander in the void, which will take tens of thousands of years to reach their goal. ”

Behemoth, who was supposed to arrive in Otlama after 1700, was a hungry swarm of insects that had been adrift in the abyss beyond the river for nearly 10,000 years.

"The Aether Dragon is also a space creature with the ability to travel faster-than-light, but unlike the Zerg, the Aether Dragon does not need to use the gravitational wells of stars to distort space-time, but can directly tear through the dimension with its own power, making faster-than-light jumps without preconditions."

Russell snorted and bit his thumb gently: "Now the Tyranid Zerg has been determined...... The Great Devourer has acquired and mimicked the genes of the Aether Dragon, which is another trouble. ”

At this point, he has basically launched the whole picture.

The moment Russell ordered the Aether Phase Engine to blow up the archive, the Gray Wind full of relics was thrown into this universe along with the gods of the Void Realm.

Uncollected relics are scattered randomly across the galaxy, the Organic Universe falls in the Maelstrom, the Khan's throne is in Armageddon, and the head of the Aether Dragon, like the Gray Mothership, falls into the abyss beyond the river.

The difference is that Grey Wind was guided by Jabakti, the prophet of Zelo in the Soul Stone of Zelo, and came directly to Falla to find him. The head of the Aether Dragon was accidentally picked up by the Behemoth Hive Fleet adrift in the abyss.

The Hive Will deciphered the genes of the Aether Dragon, creating a fake 'Aether Bug' and obtaining the same Creature Jump Engine, which greatly shortened the time it took to cross the abyss and enter the galaxy......

In Russell's opinion, even if Taryn succeeds in creating an indestructible dragon scale armor, he has his own arc to deal with. The real headache was that the Zerg got the Aether Dragon's biological jump engine.

The will of the swarm is interconnected, and Behemoth's acquisition of the head of the dragon means that the will of the entire hive has mastered the Aether Worm, which means that the Great Devourer's full-scale invasion of the galaxy will be greatly advanced.

A-stirring stick poked out at the door of the Milky Way, and the Hungry Devourer couldn't wait to blast into the galaxy and stir it up.

"Let's talk about the future crisis in the future, and deal with the immediate matter first."

After much deliberation, Russell finally decided to trust the wisdom of his descendants, so he ordered the Pot of Greed's battleship AI to connect to the communication band with Falla, and sent his decision to Grey Wind:

"All swarm creature ships are temporarily stationary and continue to garrison the southern belt. All other battleships immediately travel to Otlama to save Pamenio and annihilate the Aether Giant Behemoth in the name of the Federation. ”

The whole sentence is for everyone to hear.
