2107. Release the insect swarm

"The so-called essence is just a term for bugs like Abathur." Sherry-Birkin looked at Tang Xiao in the holographic projection and said lightly, "From the perspective of us humans, the essence is the unique gene pool, genetic information, evolutionary direction, etc. of the insect swarm."

"The development method of Zerg is completely different from that of us humans. To develop, humans need more factories, more agriculture, more research institutions, and upstream and downstream industries to match these. But Zerg, they only need food. But one thing both parties need is information - the information humans need is how to build more sophisticated and larger factories, while the information Zerg needs is how to evolve more powerful individuals."

"So, the completely different development needs of both parties make it impossible for Zerg to coexist with humans. Because for humans, those bugs are useless, but for Zerg, all living things are their food - including humans." Sherry-Birkin continued.

She called up another star map and said, "So what you just said about 'captive breeding' is not feasible for Zerg. Abathur is right about one thing. If you nest in Homeworld to build some kind of food nest, cultivate the food, and then survive for a long time, that is not Zerg. At best, it is just a smarter insect, such as leaf-cutter ants. Zerg is always contradictory between 'useful' and 'harmless'."

"Then what's your conclusion?" Tang Xiao said extremely gloomily.

"You can't stop Zerg. Kilik Swarm was originally the super overlord who dominated the galaxy a hundred thousand years ago. I believe their power at that time was even much more powerful than Galactic Empire now. Don't look at the fact that Kilik Swarm has degenerated to the point where it is no different from ordinary insects, but the power engraved deep in their genes The amount may be far beyond our imagination. And you even sent evolution experts like Abathur there, "Sherry-Birkin said, "So, now you come to me, the key to the problem is not whether Togot Swarm can be used at present, but how it will end up when you use them."

Tang Xiao was silent for a while and said slowly, "After Togurt Mother Nest gradually grew stronger, it also began to understand some information. There is a kind of induction between Kilik Swarm that we cannot understand... This thing may be the Force, but it is also completely different from the the Force we usually come into contact with. It may be Kilik Swarm's unique way of using the Force. The induction between their groups transcends the boundaries of time and space, and what I am most worried about is Kilik Core Nest (Killik Colony) Worlds).

He raised his hand and clicked on the star map, drawing out a rough range. This was a small star area, and the Korb Planet that Togot Swarm had just conquered was on the edge of this star area.

"Togot Swarm doesn't know what's inside Kilik Core Nest, nor does it know how many galaxies there are. It just tells us that it can sense more powerful ethnic groups and more abundant essences inside. And Abathur also I believe that as long as Togot Swarm can conquer Kilik Core Nest, Togot Swarm will grow into a powerful existence that is no less powerful than Geth even at this stage," Tang Xiao said.

"I don't think you will satisfy them, right?" Sherry-Birkin smiled lightly.

"I don't want to wait anymore... Protoss has also found several galaxies controlled by Grysk Hegemony. I will start to release swarms of insects into these galaxies. I will personally direct this process." Tang Xiao's tone was extremely cold. With these words, he directly sentenced tens of billions of people to death!

Sherry-Birkin nodded and said slowly, "Sir, you should know that even Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group's most advanced B. O. W biological weapon, and even the ultimate biological weapon that remains in the imagination, is just a poor imitation of Zerg. Life Physical technology is completely comparable to our current mechanical technology in every aspect... and the release of Kilik Swarm may have serious consequences. Compared with Zerg, the Holy Advent Cult you arranged may be the best answer to unify those controlled planets."

"I don't need you to remind me like this!" Tang Xiao waved his hand impatiently, "Holy Advent Cult just let them deal with Illumine Kingdom of Kilji slowly! Their current strength is not strong enough to fight against Grysk Hegemony. I don't want to wait any longer. When Togot Swarm grows up! As long as the swarm starts to attack, Grysk Hegemony will soon understand that their original ruling system that relies on mind control is simply vulnerable to the swarm! At that time, they will naturally send more powerful forces to fight."

Sherry-Birkin looked at Tang Xiao, nodded, and said, "Here, I wish you good luck in martial arts, Grand Duke."

After closing the communication, Tang Xiao stood there with a gloomy expression and cold eyes.

He sent some samples of Togot Swarm to Sherry-Birkin for her to study, hoping to study ways to control Kilik Swarm from another direction. However, the feedback he received from Sherry-Birkin was relatively negative.

It seems impossible to find the best solution in a short time. In other words, maybe there is never the best of both worlds in this world.

Just like the Force, you want the speed and power of Dark Side Force, but you also want the stability and peace of Light Side Force. This in itself is a paradox and an unrealistic obscenity.

However, even if there are still some doubts about putting Togot Swarm into use immediately, Tang Xiao cannot wait any longer.

He must immediately launch an attack on the core star area of Grysk Hegemony. Although it is still impossible to find where their core star area is, the two previous Dark Templars - Oola-Khan and Sola-A gave a general direction before losing contact.

The attack must be quick! During his recent meditation, Tang Xiao has also understood that his recent nightmare and the moment of trance when he killed Jikstus were the connection between an extremely powerful being and him through Jikstus.

This problem must be solved completely! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!

If this being can establish contact with him in this way, then there is no guarantee that it will not establish contact with other people. Maybe he himself is not afraid because of his powerful power, but others may have been controlled!

At present, the two major troubles Duchy of Dawn has caused in Unknown Regions, Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal are mainly more serious harm to civilians, but for Tang Xiao, the top priority is always Grysk Hegemony with weird mind control.

Moreover, the loss of contact between the two Dark Templar is also a very dangerous signal, which is also the reason why Tang Xiao must act immediately.

He walked out of the office and went to the research facility on the spacecraft, where High Templar Rosales of the Shelak Tribe was conducting his research.

Sensing the arrival of Tang Xiao, Rosales put down what he was doing, and a soft voice sounded in Tang Xiao's mind, "Sir, I have some new knowledge about Agbui's research."

Tang Xiao nodded and asked him to continue.

"This is Agbui captured on a planet that High Templar Rassidan led his troops to capture two weeks ago. There were a total of five Grysk on that planet, and they were indeed the same as before us. The situation is the same, there are many Agbui serving these Grysk. There are 70 Agbui prisoners or corpses found on that planet." Rosales said.

Rosales pointed at Agbui who was imprisoned in the cage on the other side. There were more than ten of them. They were short in stature and had very slender fingers. They were chattering in an unknown language and didn't know what to say.

"They are begging for mercy, hoping that we can let them go." Rosales added.

"So, Grysk carried out mind control with the assistance of Agbui. How was it done?" Tang Xiao asked.

"We used to think that this was a spiritual force that merged into one and strengthened each other, but now I find that this is more of a social process." Rosales said.

"Social process?" Tang Xiao frowned.

Rosales nodded and said, "Agbui has the power of telepathy, but strictly speaking, their power is not strong. Compared with Protoss's telepathy, it is completely on two levels. But at the same time, Agbui is also a very sensitive race. This sensitivity means that they are very sensitive to emotions. Maybe they were chatting and laughing one second, but they will be extremely angry because of a little emotion the next second."

"It is precisely because of this that Agbui is so dependent on telepathy. When they communicate with others, if they do not use telepathy, it is like a drug addict who is not allowed to smoke spices." Rosales gave a very appropriate example, "And Grysk took advantage of this after discovering Agbui."

"They first used their own power to forcibly control some target races, allowing them to quietly enter the society of this race. Then they let Agbui start to contact some individuals of this race, and Agbui was very interested in psychic abilities. They should be very eager, and they will continue to dig deeper. This process is similar to the spread of a virus. Although Agbui's telepathy can only be carried out through contact with the target, they can learn about the target's social relationship through contact."

"Because of this characteristic, Agbui can often master a large amount of information within a few months to a year. Then Grysk will use his own psychic power to extract the information obtained by Agbui, and then conduct extensive analysis. In the end, Grysk will get the weaknesses of this target race. The so-called weaknesses are the things that this race is most anxious about. Such as population expansion, such as civil war, such as lack of resources, such as widespread unemployment, etc., and then they will use this anxiety to strengthen this anxiety on a large scale."

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "In other words, Grysk expands the scope of his mind control power by weakening his investment in single objects. He does not seek control, but only further deepens the anxiety of this race?"

Rosales said, "That's it. Such a result will cause widespread anxiety and even mania on the planet where this race is located. Eventually, it will lead to the collapse of the psychological defense line of this race... such as widespread anxiety, depression, mania, pessimism, and even Riots. The specific manifestations are doomsday theories, suicide trends, civil war, etc. Then, Grysk can take advantage of it and complete their control through these collapsed hearts, which takes about two to three years..."

Tang Xiao sneered, "So this is completely different from the so-called Legendary Class race and per capita demigods they brag about. It is just an effective use of mind control."

"But as we said before, if a large number of Grysk come together and can establish a telepathic network similar to the Khala we Protoss once had, then some very terrifying existences may be born. Maybe such an existence is the person who wants to influence you." Rosales said.

"In that case, I think we have a goal." Tang Xiao said.

"Agbui's home star? Unfortunately, these Agbuis don't know where their home star is. The coordinates of Agbui's home star are still one of Grysk Hegemony's top secrets. I think maybe it's because their home star is not far from Grysk Hegemony's home star." Rosales said.

"It doesn't matter. We need to set off now and start attacking in the direction pointed out to us by Dark Templar!" Tang Xiao looked at the imprisoned Agbui and said with a grin, "Tell them that no matter what method they use, they must find their home planet. Before finding their home star, I will seal them with clothes made of isolation materials so that they will never be able to use telepathy."

"Have you finally decided to use the insect swarm?" Rosales expressed great concern, "This will mean that there will be no living people left on those planets."

"When a planet needs to be purified, what choice will Protoss make?" Tang Xiao asked coldly.

"..." Rosales was silent for a long time, and then said, "I hope your decision will not bring disaster to this galaxy."

"Go tell Rassidan to come and join us. Solve this decisive battle with Grysk Hegemony starting now!" Tang Xiao said fiercely.

Rosales looked out at the starry sky through the porthole, and saw that hundreds of cargo ships had already arrived at this place and started to gather, and the number was still increasing. These cargo ships have more or less living biological substances growing on them, and they are constantly squirming. It is scary to see them.
