143: Chapter 143 Purifying the Battlefield and Extracting the Abomination Gene
Su Chen's will moved away from that dark red energy sphere that was gestating destruction and chaos.
The Soul Fusion of those twelve Dark Templar Warriors was not yet complete, and the violent mental storm was still brewing and rising within it, but the prototype was set, and the outcome would no longer hold any surprises.
Another link in his plan had been perfectly fastened.
At this moment, the Golden Behemoth's brutal symphony of tearing apart the Abomination Titan had concluded. The Abyssal Demon Dragon's desperate wails before its fall had also vanished into thin air.
The Abyssal Basin, which was originally noisy to the extreme, filled with battle cries, explosions, and roars, fell into a strange dead silence.
An absolute silence where all things withered and only death remained.
In the air, the thick scent of blood, a mix of stench and sweetness, was so dense it wouldn't disperse, almost condensing into a substantive blood-colored haze. The heavy corpse poison and abyssal corrosive aura intertwined, causing the light to distort, and everything in sight carried an ominous blur.
This land had completely turned into a forbidden zone.
Any legendary creature that was not a Zerg Swarm unit, as long as it took a single breath here, its Soul and flesh would be instantly contaminated, mutating into a mindless monster in extreme pain.
Su Chen's will was like an invisible monarch, looking down at his spoils of war.
"Clean up the battlefield."
An emotionless command, like the most fundamental Law, was instantly transmitted to the depths of every Zerg Swarm unit's mind.
The moment the command was issued.
Lumina, Dominator of Light, moved.
She rose from the silent Zerg Swarm array, flying high into the sky, the six wings constructed purely of light energy slowly unfolding behind her.
Her entire being transformed into a small golden sun hanging beneath the dim sky of the abyss.
The light was not entirely warm.
"Holy Light: Great Purification Art."
Buzz—
A grand hum, as if originating from the beginning of the Universe's birth, resounded through heaven and earth.
Golden ripples spread and swept in all directions with Lumina as the center. These were not soft halos, but energy ripples containing the domineering, pure, and indisputable Law of purification.
Wherever the ripples passed, time and space seemed to be washed clean.
The demon flesh fragments scattered on the Bone Land, still twitching slightly under nerve reflexes, silently decomposed and evaporated the moment they touched the golden ripples, without leaving even a grain of dust.
The millions of wronged Souls devoured by the Abomination Titan and imprisoned in its remains, having just escaped from the shattered corpses and letting out silent shrieks, were enveloped by the golden light.
Their twisted and painful forms stretched out in the light, and the last trace of resentment was forcibly wiped away, turning into the purest energy dust to return to the world.
A nauseating storm of blood that had just swept across the entire battlefield was completely erased under this absolute light.
The Bone Land actually presented a holy "cleanliness" like never before.
However, this sacred scene lasted only for a few seconds.
Immediately after, the ground began to shake.
Tens of millions of Drones, like a black tide, crawled out from the underground tunnel network.
They ignored the corrosive aura still lingering in the air and accurately locked onto the massive remains of the Abomination Titan that had been torn in half.
In the Drones' perception, that pile of foul-smelling rotten meat and internal organs was not something filthy.
That majestic, pure flesh and blood tissue containing demigod divinity was the highest grade of biomass, the best nourishment for the Zerg Swarm's evolution.
Their eyes flashed with the primitive desire for "feeding" and "collecting" from the depths of their genes, waving their forelimbs as sharp as high-frequency cutting blades to accurately peel, cut, and decompose those huge pieces of rotten meat from the bones.
The scene was efficient, precise, and cold.
Pieces of flesh and blood tissue emitting a demigod aura were quickly transported through massive underground pipes directly back to the Mobile Broodmother Nest crouching like a mountain range in the rear.
Almost the instant the first sample was sent into the broodmother nest's Digestive Chamber, a cold notification sounded in Su Chen's consciousness.
[Ding! Analyzing "Abomination Titan" gene sample...]
[Analysis progress 10%... 30%... 70%... 100%!]
[Analysis successful!]
[Obtained Gene Entry: Infinite Stitching (Rare · Special)]
[Description]: This gene sequence breaks the biochemical rejection barriers between species, allowing for the perfect stitching of limbs and organs from different species to create "Stitched Monster" units without the risk of genetic collapse. The more stitched parts, the more powerful the individual.
[Obtained Ability: Corruptive Poison Cloud (Area-of-Effect Biological Weapon)]
[Description]: Releases a highly toxic cloud with multiple effects such as strong corrosiveness, nerve paralysis, and flesh dissolution through special glands. This poison cloud has devastating lethality to organisms.
Su Chen's will lingered on the new entry in the gene bank for a moment.
"Infinite Stitching..."
His mind began to deduce at a speed surpassing a supercomputer.
"The core technology of the Undead Scourge actually exists as a gene sequence in this form."
Countless combinations and concepts flashed and collided in his mind, then generated new war unit models.
If this gene were combined with the Zerg race's own Universe-leading super regeneration and rapid evolution capabilities...
That meant the Zerg Swarm could create truly "undying" war Behemoths. Any damage to any part could be "stitched" and "repaired" in real-time by devouring the remains of enemies on the battlefield, even strengthening themselves during combat.
Combined with that Corruptive Poison Cloud...
The prototype of a mobile war fortress that constantly self-evolves and repairs, capable of releasing large-scale biological attacks, had already taken shape in his conception.
But Su Chen did not immediately order the hatching of new units.
He sealed and archived this precious set of genetic data, along with the accompanying biochemical abilities, into the [Gene Bank: Biological Warfare Zone] deep within the broodmother nest.
This was a technical reserve.
The existing Zerg Swarm combat system already possessed an overwhelming advantage against the demon legions in the abyss, so there was no need to introduce new variables for the time being.
This trump card was to be reserved for more powerful enemies in the future.
Just then, the unique mental fluctuations of Zaz the Cerebrate connected to Su Chen's consciousness network.
"Dominator, within the three-thousand-kilometer fan-shaped area ahead, there are no longer any organized resistance forces."
"All detected demon strongholds, Spawning Pools, and Soul Forges have been cleared."
Zaz's report was as concise and efficient as ever.
Su Chen's will turned toward the 3D map of the abyss in his mind, which was being updated in real-time by information fed back from countless scouting units.
His gaze crossed the vast area that had just been cleared and fell upon a deeper, darker territory.
There, the markings on the map showed a massive mountain range stretching across the Southern Abyss like a natural chasm.
Wall of Sighs.
"Then keep pushing."
Su Chen's will turned into a command that could sweep through thousands of troops. His "hand" made a heavy wave on the mental map, pointing directly at the end of that darkness.
"Since we're here, let's not return empty-handed."
"Push the front line all the way to the foot of the 'Wall of Sighs' in one go!"
In his will, there was an indisputable, overbearing aura of a monarch ruling the world.
"From today on, I want the entire Southern Abyss to become our Zerg Swarm's pasture!"
"As you command!"
"For the Swarm!"
Zaz's fanatical response ignited the entire Zerg Swarm's will network.
Woo——————!!!
The billions of insect tides, a black flood composed of steel, carapaces, claws, and fangs, let out a heaven-shaking hiss at the same time.
The sounds gathered together, forming a storm of will enough to tear Souls apart, announcing the arrival of a new master.
Stepping on the shattered bones of demons beneath their feet and crushing the Bone Land that had just been purified by Holy Light, they launched a new round of charges toward the deeper, more sunken darkness.
