121: Chapter 121 The Complete Mothership and the Genetic Ascension of All Crew
Above the firmament of the God Realm, that light cocoon composed of pure time energy floated quietly.
Its surface shimmered with flowing light, but inside, a tragic and frenzied aberration that had lasted for fifteen years was unfolding.
Su Chen sat upright on his god throne, his gaze piercing through the barriers of time, indifferently watching everything within the cocoon chamber.
His recent declaration, "Below the level of a True God, I am invincible," was not a delusional mutter, but a calm judgment based on absolute control.
And the evolution before him was the first sacrifice he offered for this judgment.
"Activate Metabolic Overclocking Mode."
The cold command was issued in his mind.
On the ground of the God Realm, millions of low-tier Zerg units—the Drones responsible for gathering and construction, and the Zerglings serving as cannon fodder—stopped their movements at the same moment.
In the next second, their fires of life were forcibly ignited.
Their flesh, carapaces, and even the most basic genetic sequences began to decompose and burn under the mandatory order of the Hive Mind.
This was not death, but another form of transformation.
Life essence was ruthlessly extracted, converging into viscous blood-colored torrents that turned into energy conduits spanning the God Realm, frantically injecting into the heart of the massive, violently pulsating and struggling hull.
This was the most primitive and barbaric energy supply.
Using the lives of countless offspring to catalyze a supreme sovereign.
"Evolution is plunder regardless of the cost."
Su Chen's fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the god throne, producing a rhythmic clicking sound.
This sound perfectly synchronized with the beating of the giant beast's heart within the cocoon chamber.
Thump!
Thump! Thump!
The sound was as dull as thunder; with every beat, ripples surged through the space of the entire God Realm.
The energy within the cocoon chamber had reached an extreme density, appearing like a chaotic blood-colored nebula.
The violent genes of the Primal Leviathan and the void sequences of the Psionic Mothership had completed their bloodiest strangulation and Fusion during the fifteen years of accelerated time.
Now, it was the final step.
Shaping a brand-new body.
Finally.
With a final dull roar, like a planet cracking at its core.
The heart that had pulsed for fifteen years suddenly stopped.
Silence.
Absolute silence descended.
Immediately after, an imperceptible crack appeared on the smooth surface of the time cocoon.
Crack...
The cracks spread rapidly, no longer like a spiderweb but as if a frozen lake surface were being completely pierced by a massive force from below!
Rumble—
The light cocoon shattered.
The dissipating time energy turned into a violent hurricane, sweeping across the entire God Realm.
But all light and all energy were completely devoured when they touched that central area.
A colossal entity was slowly, inch by inch, squeezing out from the void of space.
It obscured the light of the artificial stars within the God Realm.
It brought pure darkness and termination.
The hull length exceeded twenty kilometers.
This number had lost its meaning, for it was itself a moving continent, a pitch-black mountain range suspended in the sky.
The surface of its hull was no longer any known metal or biological tissue.
It was a type of Void Bio-Alloy armor with a cold metallic luster, pitch-black like ink, yet able to reflect a deep purple halo at specific angles.
Upon the armor, countless circuits pulsed slowly like living blood vessels, flowing with liquid psionic energy.
Those circuits flickered in the darkness, like the breathing of a giant beast.
Menacing bone spurs extended from various parts of the hull, forming a terrifying shape that combined slaughter with aesthetics. At the very front, an incredibly thick ramming horn shimmered with a sharp, cold light capable of tearing space itself.
[Ding! Star-Destroyer Class · Void Leviathan Hive (Peak Demigod) evolution complete!]
[Characteristics: Comes with an independent ecological cycle, capable of inter-galactic warp jumps, main cannon "Death Star Strike" fully charged.]
The System notification sounded in Su Chen's ear, calm and waveless.
Everything was under control.
At the very moment the "Void Leviathan" fully descended into the God Realm, a surge of majestic, extremely pure void divine energy rolled back from the core of the hive, turning into an energy storm that swept the entire God Realm.
This was the feedback from the "offspring."
A collective revelry originating from the pinnacle of genetics began.
Beneath the god throne, Lumina, the Dominator of Light, was the first to bathe in this gift.
She let out an irrepressible chant, a mixture of pain and joy.
Behind her, that pair of pure white light wings snapped open, and deep purple void energy, like ink dropping into clear water, rapidly spread from the base of each feather.
Light and darkness, holiness and the void, reached a perfect balance within her body.
The tips of the feathers began to crystallize, refracting brilliant starlight.
Her aura climbed steadily, instantly shattering an invisible barrier.
Fourth-rank Silver Demigod!
"Thank you for the gift, Dominator!"
Lumina knelt on one knee, her voice filled with unprecedented piety and power.
Beside her, in the other three directions, three equally terrifying auras exploded at the same time!
Psionic Empress Kerrigan, Abyssal Mother Tree Rott, and Thunder Beast King Hyperis.
These three core enforcers who had followed Su Chen the longest let out roars that shook the God Realm.
That was the sound of genetic locks being completely smashed!
That was the hymn of a life-level leap!
At this moment, they all stepped into the Ninth-rank Demigod level, which this Universe calls the Legendary Peak!
Hyperis's roar was the most direct.
Its originally three-hundred-meter-tall, mountain-like massive body began a secondary development amidst the "cracking" sounds of bones and carapace bursting.
Muscle fibers proliferated wildly, chitinous armor thickened layer by layer, and void psionic circuits similar to the hive's even appeared on its body surface.
Four hundred meters!
Four hundred and fifty meters!
Five hundred meters!
When it stopped growing, it had transformed into a truly mobile pitch-black mountain range, each breath kicking up a dust storm on the ground.
Kerrigan was even more eerie.
She floated in mid-air, a purple psionic storm raging wildly around her, the dissipating energy even tearing fine but deep black spatial rifts in the air.
Her eyes had turned into two vortices of pure psionic energy.
Abyssal Mother Tree Rott, the giant tree rooted deep in the God Realm's ley lines, underwent a silent but most bizarre change.
Countless deep purple roots, appearing as if made of crystal, burst from the ground, greedily absorbing the energy dissipating in the void; upon its canopy, pitch-black fruits pulsating like hearts grew.
A powerful and formidable fleet, sufficient to easily sweep across a small star System, had now taken shape.
Su Chen stood up from his god throne, looking down at his subordinates who had undergone a complete transformation.
The ambition in his eyes was like a star injected with its final fuel, no longer able to be suppressed, beginning to burn fiercely.
He slowly turned around, no longer looking at his own God Realm.
His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of planar barriers, crossing the endless astral turbulence, accurately locking onto a distant and chaotic coordinate.
That place was the Abyss.
"We no longer need to defend our home."
Su Chen's voice was light, but it clearly transmitted into the depths of every core subordinate's Soul.
His finger lightly traced through the void in front of him.
Where his fingertip passed, it left a trail burning with psionic energy; that trail was exactly the spatial coordinate leading to the Demon Plane.
"Prepare the entire army."
His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion, yet it contained the will to stir up a sea of blood.
"Since the Abyss likes to invade, we shall go and teach them what is truly called..."
Su Chen paused, a grim arc curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Dimensional reduction strike."
