Ball Lightning! (There Was a Formatting Error Just Now)

The entire swarm's central nervous system resides in Leviathan. When Leviathan is unable to determine the target based on the signals transmitted back by the swarm...

The swarm will temporarily halt its advance, awaiting Leviathan's in-depth analysis.

Faced with this completely unanalyzable lightning orb, the Zerg chose to observe for the time being, hoping to determine its true power by having a single individual touch it.

The lightning orbs were getting closer and closer to the ground. When they were less than a hundred meters away from the ground, their descent accelerated further, as if they had lost gravity for a moment.

It slammed heavily onto the ground.

Boom!!

In an instant, all the lightning orbs detonated simultaneously, creating a vast ocean of lightning.

A tremendous amount of energy erupted from the ground, like a volcanic eruption, except instead of lava, it spewed out a sky full of electric current.

The entire viewing area was bathed in white light, almost blinding the spectators.

The lightning struck for a full minute, until the current slowly dissipated and the light gradually faded.

A bizarre scene unfolded!

Just moments ago, a massive swarm of insects swept in like a black torrent, but now they vanished without a trace, like a dream.

The Wormholes that Roach dug out to avoid attacks are now empty, with only one or two empty Cocoon shells left behind occasionally.

However, there were no signs of burning or explosion on the ground, and the Mediterranean Sea coast remained calm, as if time had frozen at that moment, and all the noise and chaos had been wiped away by an invisible force.

That's all.

Everything's gone.

Completely vanished!

The ground was exactly the same as before, with all the grass, trees, and stones still there, but the tens of thousands of insects were gone!

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the Europe remained as calm as if nothing had happened.

This scene left the spectators stunned once again.

It was even more unbelievable than the abnormal reproduction of the Zerg that I had seen before.

What about the insect swarm?

How could they all just evaporate like that!

Some people use this method as a weather weapon when lightning first strikes.

Previously, during the Great Wall Watch Instance, the Dragon Country's fleet also demonstrated similar weather weapon techniques, triggering a tsunami that engulfed Katerina's fleet through special means.

From this perspective, the spectators can understand the method by which the Rotten Cow Country uses lightning to attack the Zerg swarm.

But it's clear that the effect of this Ball Lightning at this moment is completely different from ordinary lightning!

Although it's called Ball Lightning, it's not actually the kind of lightning that the Azure Star people know.

Am I seeing things? What just happened?

Was that thing the Rotten Cow Country just launched a rolling mine? But rolling mines shouldn't look like that, right?

Where did those bugs go? Did they just disappear like that?

[Could it be that the high-intensity lightning current evaporated all the insects into air?! Lin Ye's methods are amazing; he can make lightning so powerful!]

[Impossible. If it were truly a lightning strike, there should be explosion marks on the ground, and even the insects in the burrow would be gone, yet the burrow is still there!]

[This is too weird! Am I really practicing science? I think it must be metaphysics!]

[Holy crap, I feel like Lin Ye's methods are even more unbelievable than the Zerg's. He just wiped out such a huge swarm of Zerg out of nowhere?]

[Ball Lightning? What on earth is that?!]

[...]

These viewers naturally couldn't grasp the essence of Ball Lightning.

This is because it's technology from the future; even in Lin Ye's previous life, they couldn't understand it.

Although Ball Lightning may look similar to rolling thunder or ghost thunder, it is actually a completely different concept.

These Ball Lightning are actually macroscopically expanded electrons emitted by quantum devices!

It exhibits quantum effects and is highly selective for its target.

The underlying principles are extremely complex, involving subtle laws of the quantum world.

In scientific terms, this involves the theory of quantum entanglement. Splitting a particle with zero spin into two creates two entangled particles with opposite spin directions. These two particles form a system, and no matter how far apart they are, measuring one particle will cause the other particle to collapse instantly.

These entangled particles always change in sync; time and space between them disappear.

It will exist in a state where existence and disappearance coexist.

In layman's terms, it's like Schrödinger’s cat...

The swarms of insects attacked by Ball Lightning still exist, but they are no longer the usual kind of swarms we see.

It could also be interpreted as them entering another dimension, a place similar to a parallel world.

When people are not looking at them, they reappear in an unfolded state, but as soon as someone is watching them, they revert to a curled-up state and disappear from the world.

However, precisely because of the Instance mechanism, there are always spectators watching them, so they will be unable to exist!

Regardless of their state, one thing is certain: these swarms of insects attacked by Ball Lightning are no longer capable of fighting; they are no longer the same substance they once were.

Moreover, Ball Lightning weapons are highly targeted, capable of directly striking targets into a quantum curled-up state without altering the surrounding environment.

So on the surface, it's as if nothing had happened.

This kind of technological weapon actually touches on the essence of the Universe. Not to mention these human spectators, even the more technologically advanced Zerg would be dumbfounded.

Sure enough, after this pioneer swarm mysteriously disappeared, the remaining swarms on the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea dared not move forward at all.

The entire swarm of insects froze completely.

Their only option is to continue building Hatchery on the same site to incubate new troops.

Just then, a new alarm sounded from the sky.

[The Rooster Country's Cyber Louvre Project is now fully integrated! The Robot Vanguard Legion has arrived!]

Boom!

The sounds of steel grinding and rumbling echoed from within the territory of the Rooster Country.

From the border of the Rooster Country, a dark mass of metallic objects swept in like a whirlwind. They resembled robotic dogs, radiating a cold, mechanical luster, as if they were messengers from the future.

The group of robotic dogs aimed directly at the location where the swarm of insects was hatching, and they pounced at an almost insane speed, leaving only afterimages in the air.

The moment they leaped into the air, a miracle occurred—they underwent a magnificent transformation in mid-air, their bodies gradually elongating, their limbs slowly unfolding, and finally transforming into machine warriors nearly as tall as Human Warriors!

The process was fluid and rapid, as if time itself had been given a physical form, leaving the viewer breathless. Each machine warrior possessed a streamlined body and sharp edges!

Then they charged towards the swarm of insects.
