Humans Cannot Imagine the True Form of a God
"Captain, congratulations! You're about to get promoted and make a fortune!"
Russell smiled and revealed the information about the Bug God, including its hiding place and its ability to control the minds of others, telling everything without reservation.
The captain's eyes flickered, his heart churning with turmoil. As Russell had said, if the intelligence was confirmed to be true, reporting it would indeed be a great achievement. However, on the surface, he still wore that unchanging Deadman expression, as if the Federation had already obtained the relevant intelligence.
"A friendly reminder: don't get too close when confirming information, or you'll be controlled by the Bug God."
After saying that, Russell closed the communication and raised an eyebrow at Ying Yingying: "Free labor. If the Federation blows up Planet Z, we can win without lifting a finger."
"But he didn't seem to appreciate it."
"It's normal for him to keep his emotions hidden. If he still wants to climb the ranks, he'll definitely take this intelligence seriously." Russell was confident. The captain was decisive and capable; he'd be a successful man sooner or later. He believed the captain would seize this opportunity.
Ying Yingying shrugged. "I hope your plan goes smoothly, and I hope the Federation will act as soon as possible."
"Your words have reminded me that relying on just one captain is a bit too weak..." Russell pondered for a moment, then opened the communicator again, randomly selected a few warships, and after making contact, recounted the information about the Bug God.
"Are you putting pressure on the Federation?" Ying Yingying asked uncertainly.
Russell smiled sinisterly, "That's right. I'll spread the news, and whether they are human or Zerg Reincarnator, they will all Reincarnator to Planet Z. The Federation won't be able to stay silent."
You're so mean!
"This is called leveraging external forces; we must make good use of the rules given by the Supreme God..."
Queen of Heaven, the Federation fleet assembled in large numbers and marched towards Planet Z. In addition, there were many smaller spaceships, similar in size to the transport plane piloted by Russell, trailing far behind.
The two major factions, the Reincarnator, the Bug God, and the Federation, are distributed around Planet Z. The Reincarnator are afraid of the Bug God's mind control ability and dare not approach. The Federation has a large number of people and cannon fodder. They sent a quarter of their fleet to scan Planet Z to confirm the location of the Bug God and began to deploy star-level superweapons.
With Ying Yingying's help, Russell learned that in the world of Starship Troopers, humanity possesses an ultimate weapon called Q-bomb. The name sounds like some kind of gummy candy, but its power is immense; the Marshal only needs to press a red button to turn Planet Z and the Bug God into cosmic dust.
The push of a button could destroy a planet, and the resources lost would be enough to make the Federation grieve for a long time. But if they could take down the Zerg's ultimate boss, any price would be worth it.
Because of the Zerg's hierarchical social structure, if they lose their supreme commander, humanity will achieve an absolute strategic victory in the war. At that point, the Zerg will be like a dish, to be prepared however the Federation wants, potentially even driven to the brink of extinction.
The Federation's major actions could not be kept secret from the Reincarnator. In addition, Russell had spread the information in advance, and almost all the Reincarnator who entered this world were on the move.
The human Reincarnator were delighted and celebrated their victory ahead of time, while the Zerg Reincarnator were internally cursing and regretting choosing the wrong side, having fallen headlong into the Zerg's bottomless pit.
The Federation is greedy and not a good partner, but the Zerg are even worse; they use mind control without warning, which is unbearable.
You have to finish the sex you started, even if it means crying!
The Zerg Reincarnator were desperate, but failure meant certain death, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward despite their reluctance.
Russell piloted his transport plane, hovering far behind the fleet—it was truly far away; it was the very last of all the ships. At such a distance, it was virtually impossible for him to be near the battlefield, not even able to see an image. He could only eavesdrop on the communications of other ships and imagine the course of the war.
Ying Yingying didn't look down on Russell for being timid; in fact, she felt that being too close was unsafe. Having personally experienced the mental strength of the Brain Worm, she couldn't even imagine how exaggerated the Bug God would be.
The Federation fleet launched its attack, with thousands of warships opening their launch ports and dropping massive missiles equipped with propulsion systems.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of missiles slowly advanced, gradually closing the distance to Planet Z, and methodically heading towards their target.
Ten thousand Q-bomb are definitely impossible; this should be a probing attack. However, the Zerg Reincarnator couldn't sit still. If the Q-bomb were hidden among them, the Bug God would be doomed after this attack.
They intercepted the missiles in small spaceships, Reincarnator, who possessed deep-space survival abilities, traversed the universe in their physical bodies and used laser weapons to destroy the missiles.
At this moment, several ships in the fleet suddenly defected and opened fire on their comrades nearby, clearly indicating that some Zerg Reincarnator had infiltrated the fray.
The Federation was prepared for this; several warships that had opened fire had their weapon systems locked, turning them into floating space coffins, while the remaining warships continued to launch missiles.
Meanwhile, the human faction's Reincarnator also began to take action, using all sorts of underhanded tricks to ensure the missiles operated smoothly. They did whatever the Zerg faction's Reincarnator found uncomfortable.
The Zerg Reincarnator attacked from both sides and were isolated and helpless, only able to watch helplessly as the missiles approached Planet Z.
In fact, when Russell widely publicized and publicized the coordinates of the Bug God, the course of the war was basically determined. Unless the Bug God could defy the heavens, there was no suspense in this battle.
The missiles, arranged in neat rows, entered the near-Earth orbit of Planet Z. Suddenly, an anomaly occurred. The thrusters could no longer propel the missiles forward. One by one, the missiles were blocked by invisible barriers, forcibly deflected, or crushed by invisible hands. The first wave of attack was declared a failure.
"Mental Materialization!"
Upon overhearing the battlefield's progress, Russell and Ying Yingying were both dumbfounded. The Bug God's spiritual power covered the surface of Planet Z and could even extend into deep space. This was simply too astonishing.
Russell did indeed reverse the transport plane, which then flew a considerable distance further.
A philosopher once said that if there were a God for cows, that God would surely look like a cow.
The original intention of this statement was to mock artificial gods, saying that humans impose their own thinking on gods, create a self-righteous deity, and elevate it to a divine pedestal, which is utterly ridiculous.
Philosophers believe that because of the difference in dimensions, God's thinking cannot be the same as that of humans, and humans cannot imagine what God truly looks like.
There's no need to overanalyze this statement; just take its surface meaning: the human god is humanoid, while the Zerg god is naturally a Zerg.
And indeed, the continents on the surface of Planet Z suddenly became active, and to the astonishment of countless onlookers, about a quarter of the continents of Planet Z trembled and flew into space.
Countless tentacles spread out, and ferocious mouthparts spewed out poisonous mist. The Bug God's appearance was like a soft monster made of mud. Its tentacles swept through the void, and its enormous spiritual energy swept across the entire battlefield.
