171: Chapter 171 Legion Guardian Beasts and the Seventh-Tier Biochemical Altar
The moment his will spanned the entire sea of stars, declaring that cold ambition, time lost its original meaning.
Secondary psionic energy hive.
This planet, once known as the "Corrupt Plane," was now the most special and craziest enclave in Su Chen's Divine Domain territory.
Here, the flow of time was distorted to a shocking degree.
One day in the outside world was thirty years in the Divine Domain.
As the thirtieth Divine Domain year quietly ticked away its final second on this land completely covered by creep.
The giant Zerg egg, standing a hundred meters tall in the deepest part of the hatchery, saw its surface energy tides and pulse-like throbbing come to an abrupt halt at the exact same moment.
Dead silence.
An absolute dead silence before the storm arrived.
The next moment.
"Crack—!"
A harsh cracking sound did not come from a single point on the eggshell, but from within, resounding simultaneously from every structural layer!
Spiderweb-like cracks did not spread; instead, they instantly covered the entire surface of the eggshell. Deep purple biological energy radiance surged wildly from the gaps, scorching the surrounding air until it hissed.
Immediately after, it was not shattering, but an explosion!
"Boom—!"
A terrifying force, indescribable in words, detonated fiercely from the core of the giant egg.
The thick, hard eggshell was blown directly into billions of energy-burning fragments, shooting out in all directions.
Every fragment contained enough kinetic energy to pierce warship armor, tearing everything in its path to shreds and plowing bottomless gullies into the rocky walls of the hatchery.
Thick steam, mixed with amniotic fluid and energy, shot into the sky.
Amidst the earth-shaking muffled sounds, a shadow, huge enough to be heart-stopping, walked out of the swirling steam with incredibly heavy steps.
Each of its steps made the entire satellite base tremble, as if an invisible giant hammer was striking the planet's core.
When it completely walked out of the cover of steam and revealed its full form, even Su Chen, who had already foreseen its appearance through the genetic blueprint, felt a flash of shock in his pupils born from the instinct of a creator.
It was a super giant beast covered from head to toe in a carapace with the texture of dark red rock.
The carapace was covered in ferocious patterns that only form after lava cools, and its back grew a forest of bone spikes composed of countless sharp thorns, undulating like a mountain range.
Its head hung low, and two incomparably huge horns, capable of easily smashing through city walls, extended forward, shimmering with the cold luster unique to metal.
It stopped its steps and suddenly raised its head.
"Roar—!!"
A roar that did not belong to any known biological category turned into a substantial, visible sonic shockwave.
This destructive force spread out in a ring; wherever it passed, the ground for a thousand miles was directly overturned, shattered, and turned into powder by this brutal force!
The hard creep was as fragile as paper in the face of this roar.
A line of cold data streams automatically appeared on Su Chen's retina.
【Earthshaker · Thunder Beast King Subspecies】
【Rank】: Five-Turn Silver Demigod (Juvenile)
【Talents】: Earthquake Wave, Tyrant Armor, Siege Hammer
Su Chen's figure floated silently in mid-air, overlooking this war machine that possessed world-destroying power the moment it was born.
A cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth.
This was the ultimate efficiency of "Metabolic Overclocking."
Only one month in the outside world, yet thirty years had passed in the Divine Domain.
Thirty years of time was merely a snap of the fingers for a god.
But for the Zerg Swarm, and for Su Chen, the "Dominator" who grasped the authority of time, these thirty years were enough to create a miracle.
A war miracle sufficient to make any demigod bleed for it.
This juvenile Thunder Beast King Subspecies was the most intuitive proof of this miracle.
However, this was merely one of the achievements Su Chen had harvested in these thirty years.
His gaze bypassed this giant beast that was still adapting to its newborn strength and cast toward the central area of the Divine Domain, that core region shrouded in endless thunder.
There, the fifth-tier "Thunder Altar," which originally served as the energy core of the Divine Domain, had long since disappeared.
Replacing it was a terrifying giant tower that rose from the ground, reaching a thousand zhang in height.
It was not forged from rock or metal, but formed by countless writhing flesh tentacles covered in blood-vessel-like veins, twisted, intertwined, and stacked together.
The surface of the entire tower was slightly heaving, engaging in a rhythmic breathing.
Each breath stirred the energy elements in the surrounding space, emitting a dull, thunderous roar.
This was an evolutionary wonder that Su Chen had forcefully "smashed" out by using the massive amount of resources he had looted from those two unlucky demigods, MacDonald and Vohn—resources enough to make a medium-sized pantheon jealous—combined with the Zerg Swarm's top-tier genetic consumption and modification technology.
It had long transcended the category of "building."
It was a living, self-aware super biological organ born specifically to amplify Divine Power!
【Seventh-Tier · Biochemical Thunder Amplification Tower】!
"Zzz... Zzzz..."
At the very top of the amplification tower, a giant biological plasma ball with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters was beating restlessly.
With every beat, billions of thin blue-purple electric snakes shot outward, radiating high-purity thunder energy to every corner of the Divine Domain like sunlight.
Under the day-and-night nourishment of this extremely pure thunder Divine Power, the ecology of the entire Divine Domain had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Su Chen's gaze swept across the land.
On the plains, thousands of basic cannon fodder units, "Zergling," already had natural lightning runes inscribed on their carapaces.
When they charged, a layer of leaping electric arcs would attach to the sharp claws of their four limbs, and every attack could cause temporary nerve paralysis to the enemy.
They had evolved into a brand new unit type— "Lightning Zergling."
In the distant valley, the dense "Hydralisk" positions—the bone spikes they shot were no longer simple physical projectiles.
The surface of every bone spike was wrapped in a layer of light purple psionic energy halo; the range was directly doubled, and the armor-piercing ability had skyrocketed to a terrifying level sufficient to cause extra damage to energy shields.
They were "Psionic Hydralisk."
Looking out, on the creep of the entire Divine Domain, what was galloping and roaring was no longer a single basic unit type.
The huge, carapace-hard-as-Epic-Tier-alloy "Thunder Rock Roach."
The "Phase Mutalisk" that was silent when flying and capable of short-range spatial warping.
Countless Epic-Tier and even Legendary Rank Zerg units, catalyzed, selected, and evolved during the thirty years of time acceleration, had become the absolute mainstream on this land.
Thirty years of accumulation, thirty years of crazy unit production and iterative evolution.
"The current Zerg Swarm..."
Su Chen slowly clenched his fist, feeling the Divine Power surging within him like an ocean of thunder, closely connected to the Biochemical Thunder Amplification Tower.
This power was more than twice as strong as he was thirty years ago.
His will was the will of the entire Zerg Swarm.
The strength of the Zerg Swarm was directly fed back to him, their Dominator.
"...Strength has completed another qualitative leap."
His eyes penetrated the crystal wall of the Divine Domain and looked toward that cold, dead, boundless starry sky.
Hibernation is for a more violent eruption.
Waiting is for a more thorough destruction.
Now, the time has come.
Su Chen's cold voice turned into a psychic command, instantly transmitted to the depths of the Soul of every Zerg Swarm unit in the Divine Domain.
"It is time to test the sharpness of this new legion."
