115: Chapter 115 Creep Network Construction and Clerical Gene Allocation
Returning to the Hive core.
Su Chen's will did not pause for even a moment. With a sweep of his Divine Thought, he tossed the still twitching [Symbiotic Fungus Parent] directly into the Gene Evolution Pool located at the center of his Divine Kingdom.
It was a boiling abyss, where viscous purple plasma containing massive amounts of high-order biomass churned. Countless fragments of resentful Souls and faith were decomposed and crushed within it, turning into the purest energy.
"System."
Su Chen's will transformed into the most fundamental genetic commands, cold and precise.
"Extract 'Rapid Proliferation' and 'Nutrient Transport' related gene sequences."
"Integrate 'psionic energy Conduction' trait gene."
"Talent activated — Infinite Gene Evolution!"
[Warning: Cross-species genetic recombination in progress...]
[Detected forced intervention by subject's will, evolution path locked...]
[Consumed Divine Power: 2 million strands.]
The moment the order was given, the pool water suddenly roared.
Over the past six months, the number of enemy deity believers who died at the hands of the Zerg Swarm was countless. Their flesh and Souls had now become the most efficient fuel, crazily pouring into that dark green fungal parent.
"Gurgle... Gurgle..."
The flesh, originally only the size of a human head, began to crazily expand, tear, and reorganize the moment it touched the high-concentration biomass.
Its color rapidly faded from earth-like dark green to an ominous dark purple. Immediately after, eerie psionic energy light paths appeared on its surface, moving like living creatures, outlining mysterious and deadly biological patterns.
The entire Gene Evolution Pool was trembling, as if it were gestating a monster about to overturn the ecology.
Several hours later, the boiling in the pool stopped abruptly.
Everything returned to dead silence.
[Ding! Evolution successful!]
[Obtained new building unit: Purple psionic energy Creep Tumor (Divine-Grade Bronze Demigod)!]
The System's notification sounded in Su Chen's consciousness, devoid of any emotion, yet stating a fact capable of changing the war landscape.
[Function 1: Global Laying]
Spreading Creep infinitely in all directions with the tumor as the center. The Creep will ignore the vast majority of terrain; whether it is mountains, deserts, or ice fields, they will all be assimilated and transformed into a hotbed suitable for the Zerg Swarm's survival.
[Function 2: Zerg Swarm Enhancement]
Any friendly unit within the range of the Creep will have its movement speed increased by 30% and life recovery speed increased by 500%. The Creep will become a massive energy network, providing continuous vitality and psionic energy support to every Zerg Swarm unit.
[Function 3: Vision Sharing]
Wherever the Creep goes, it is the eyes of the Dominator.
"Perfect."
In Su Chen's will, a sense of extreme satisfaction was revealed.
With a movement of his Divine Thought, the parent tumor, which had evolved into a dark purple color and was covered in psionic energy nodes, broke through the pool water and hovered in the air.
The next second, it was precisely "planted" at the very center of Su Chen's Divine Territory continent.
"Swoosh!"
A dull sound of flesh rooting into the earth.
The moment the tumor landed, a thin layer of biological carpet, glowing with eerie purple light, spread crazily in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was not a simple covering, but a form of devouring and transformation.
The earth groaned under its spread; soil, rocks, withered wood, everything was swallowed and assimilated by this layer of living flesh carpet. Purple mycelium, like billions of hungry tentacles, drilled deep into the ground, drawing the planet's energy and converting it into the psionic energy most suitable for the Zerg Swarm.
Only one day.
It took only one day.
Su Chen's Divine Territory continent, spanning tens of thousands of miles, had all its land—except for the Thunder Canyon and the Endless Great Lake, which served as special ecological zones—covered by this constantly writhing purple carpet.
The former wilderness, mountains, and forests had now turned into a purple ocean.
Countless Zergling, Hydralisk, and Roach issued bursts of excited hisses on this brand-new land. They could clearly feel warm and majestic energy pouring into their bodies from the Creep beneath their feet, repairing their injuries and strengthening their carapaces.
Logistics, the greatest shackle limiting the infinite expansion of the Zerg Swarm, was completely shattered at this moment.
Next was the distribution of the spoils of war.
Su Chen's Divine Thought swept over the twelve Divine Spark fragments stored in the Divine Kingdom space; they were the glorious medals of this half-year war.
His will precisely locked onto several of them.
"Alchemy divine portfolio."
With a slight movement of his Divine Thought, a Divine Spark fragment shimmering with the luster of metal and potions instantly crossed space and appeared in the Gray Dwarves' Forge Sanctuary deep underground.
The Gray Dwarves leader, who was supervising the creation of a new generation of biological armor, felt its body jolt violently.
That Divine Spark fragment merged directly into the center of its brows.
"Bestowing this upon you is to allow my legion to don armor of greater Firmness."
The cold will echoed in its Soul.
"Iceberg and Tide divine portfolio."
Two other Divine Spark fragments, exuding biting cold and majestic water vapor, turned into streams of light and plunged into the Endless Great Lake at the center of the Divine Territory.
Deep at the bottom of the lake, the sleeping Naga Queen Selina suddenly opened her eyes.
The power of the divine portfolio poured into her body, and the entire Endless Great Lake churned because of it.
"The war of the waters will be dominated by you."
Finally, Su Chen's gaze fell upon the most special one, the "Corruption divine portfolio" stripped from the God of Corruption.
It exuded an aura of depravity, Plague, and mutation.
Su Chen's will swept across a corner of the Creep, where an inconspicuous Infestor leader was lurking in the shadows.
It was the parent and will core of all Infestors.
"It's yours."
The Corruption divine portfolio descended instantly.
"Go, evolve a neurotoxin capable of eroding the Soul of a Demigod."
Following the proclamation of Su Chen's will, three pillars of Law light piercing the sky suddenly lit up in different corners of the Divine Territory, with mighty Divine Might.
The Gray Dwarves King, in charge of biological alchemy, ascended!
The Naga Queen, commanding the deep-sea frenzy, ascended!
The Infestor King, spreading the ultimate Plague, ascended!
The auras of the three newly promoted subordinate gods intertwined and collided in the Divine Territory, and finally, under Su Chen's supreme Dominator will, all submitted.
Thus, the Zerg Swarm, this vast and precise war machine, had every core gear installed and engaged to the limit.
Just as Su Chen was preparing to sink his will into slumber and wait for the next war.
A memory fragment, which he had casually discarded in the torrent of information and extracted from the Divine Spark of the dead "God of Alchemy", suddenly flickered, catching his attention.
It was a piece of coordinate information that was extremely vague, encrypted in layers, yet exposed due to the shattering of the Divine Spark.
The coordinates pointed to an unknown depth of the Void Realm, located outside the main material plane.
Accompanying the coordinates were several intermittent keywords.
"Fallen True God... Biological laboratory?"
Su Chen's will condensed slightly, and his Divine Thought, which had been as dead as the Universe, showed a ripple.
He deeply analyzed that information fragment.
"...Perfect biological heritage... Starry Sky Behemoth egg..."
Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
He instantly understood the value of this memory fragment.
"It seems this is the secret that the old guys from the Nine Shrines hid the deepest."
Now.
It is mine.
