All Gone

The fourth stratum that made up the sixth stratum would automatically advance to the fifth stratum upon formation, because the fifth stratum was naturally linked to the sixth stratum, where a single hair moved the whole body. This was a powerful advantage that the fourth stratum could not match.

Although the Zerg were still classified as the fourth stratum, their territory had already reached the sixth stratum, all because they were too special.

Within normal Gate worlds, kingdoms and factions found it difficult to control such a vast expanse. Their administrative capacity failed to meet the requirements, which inevitably led to division, and that was why there was a division into the fifth and sixth strata.

Yet the Zerg would not divide, so they did not encounter any problems whatsoever due to having excessively large territories.

However, while a single sixth-stratum Zerg could be dealt with, multiple sixth-stratum ones were difficult to fend off. The enemy's resource volume was far higher than the Zerg's, and their numbers were also much higher. In terms of utilizing spiritual domains, the opponents had researched them more deeply than the Zerg, and they were better at employing stratagems.

For instance, they deliberately lured Zerg swarms into spiritual domains, utilizing the properties of the spiritual domains to wipe out the Zerg swarms, or else misguiding Zerg swarms and luring them before spirit sovereigns dedicated to destruction—methods such as these.

Even so, the Zerg were not without their own advantages; their reproduction speed was extremely fast, allowing their combat-capable forces to consistently maintain a baseline. This added no small amount of difficulty to the advance of the two-stratum allied forces.

In order to obtain even more powerful strength and combat the allied forces of the two sixth strata, the Zerg began to tackle the genetic development
