Surviving to the End with Zero Kills

A vast and immeasurable spiritual force swept across the entire area. The almost materialized energy was visible to the naked eye, and the spreading ripples even pushed the fleet back several kilometers.

The psychic power of the Brain Worm was enough to control Mu Xinxin, who possessed telekinetic abilities, put Ying Yingying in a difficult battle, and almost trick Russell. The terrifying extent of the Bug God's psychic power is unimaginable. Not to mention the Federation soldiers in the fleet, even the Reincarnator of the two major camps could not withstand it.

Fortunately, there were many experts among the Reincarnator. The Bug God's scattered attacks were not targeted at any one person, and the intensity was dispersed, so a quarter of the Reincarnator barely managed to hold on to their original intentions.

Coming to their senses, they turned and ran, making no other choice.

The Reincarnator controlled by the Bug God surrounded them, cut off their retreat, and launched a frenzied attack, like a rabies outbreak, disregarding all consequences, with every move aimed at mutual destruction.

Russell and Ying Yingying were far enough away to escape this wave of mind control. They exchanged a glance and then moved the transport plane back to the outer perimeter again.

I can't win! Goodbye! Please stay!

Leaving aside the Bug God's mind-control abilities, enough to distort anyone's mind, its materialized mental barrier alone rendered the two of them helpless. And it wasn't just them; based on the Bug God's demonstrated abilities, a single insect could wipe out the Reincarnator from both sides—even Supergirl wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

On the transport plane, Mu Xinxin, who was lying on the ground, seemed to sense the call to action. She sprang up from the ground and used her telekinetic powers to attack the magical barrier.

Seeing this, Ying Yingying shook her head and sighed. She had knocked her down with a mental attack, but lacking any countermeasures, she could only make do with her for now.

Russell gazed longingly at the starry universe. The Bug God possessed bug-level abilities; calling it a Void Evil God wouldn't be an exaggeration. Luckily, it was an insect; if this thing were a person, wouldn't it be...?

Wait, there's nothing wrong with the tentacle monster!

Unfortunately, the lottery wasn't triggered, and Russell sighed with regret, realizing that the chance of getting a god-tier Character Card was slim.

None of the Character Card he had could withstand the mind control of the Bug God. Thanos's Character Card was also in trouble; without the Mind Stone's support, it would most likely be a death sentence.

After several analyses, Russell realized he only had one Character Card to gamble on: Optimus Prime's Character Card. Perhaps the AllSpark of Silicon-based lifeforms could protect him from the mind control of the Bug God.

As for the materialized mental barrier, he has two Teleportation cards that could break it: 'Spatial Transfer' and 'Teleportation'. Since it's purely speculative and lacks concrete examples, he doesn't intend to play the hero.

Besides, he wouldn't do something that doesn't benefit him!

Just as Russell was carefully choosing his words and letting Ying Yingying prepare her last words, a dramatic scene suddenly unfolded on the battlefield. The Federation fleet, controlled by the Bug God, suddenly turned its cannons around and unleashed a barrage of firepower at it.

The Federation humans on the warship, from the captain to the soldiers, had all become the mental slaves of the Bug God. But the cold steel had no feelings. The Federation command remotely controlled the fire control system, frantically unleashing one giant missile after another.

Because the distance was close enough, the warship's main and secondary guns were all activated, and the dark blue beams instantly illuminated the entire deep space.

The materialized energy barrier was pierced by the beam, and the missile's detonation system was modified, causing it to self-destruct the instant it was intercepted by the energy. Caught off guard, the Bug God was utterly humiliated by humanity's advanced power. Although its spiritual energy was strong, its physical body, which served as its vessel, was reduced to rubble. Tens of thousands of tentacles broke off, and a ghastly green liquid splattered everywhere.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—"

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. The above is Russell's own voiceover. He couldn't see the actual situation clearly because he was too far away, but the beam of light from the explosion was very bright, and he could imagine the general situation even from a great distance.

"You're right. The core theme of the Starship Troopers world is the war between humans and the Zerg. In the final battle between the two sides, only one 'god' can survive."

Russell pursed his lips and gave Ying Yingying a look. The battle had taken a turn; she no longer needed to prepare her last words.

Ying Yingying frowned, deep in thought, and said, "If the three of us had tried to infiltrate the Federation's upper echelons from the beginning, or more directly, control the Supreme Marshal, wouldn't we have been able to take a shortcut and dominate the situation?"

Russell pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I've heard that there are Mind Stone telepaths among the Federation's humans. It won't be so easy for you to become the leader of the war overnight."

Ying Yingying sat in the passenger seat, pondered for a moment, and said, "Including the Starship Troopers, I've experienced four wars in this mission. The first world was Edge of Tomorrow, the second..."

"Wait a minute!"

Russell interrupted him in surprise, "Isn't the first one Resident Evil?"

Ying Yingying rolled her eyes at him. "If all the Reincarnator enter the [Resident Evil] world, at least half of them will have to die before the second War World can continue. So the first square of the chessboard will definitely be released in batches, and the War World will probably be random as well."

"So that's how it is! The Supreme God really knows how to play games!"

Ying Yingying continued, "The second War World I experienced was the [The Fifth Element], and the third world was where I met you. You know what happened next, so I won't go into details."

"So, what have you discovered? In every War World, there must be a human side. Is the Supreme God teaching us that we must never become traitors?"

"No, don't interrupt!"

Ying Yingying waved her hand. "Have you noticed that the Supreme God is training us on how to fight?"

Russell blinked. "Really?"

"Of course! Having traveled through so many worlds, don't you feel any sense of participation in the war?" Ying Yingying was surprised; Russell was being far too carefree.

"..."

Single-player gamers choose to remain silent on this issue because, without pressure, they have never experienced a strong sense of immersion.

In the distant deep space battlefield, the battle was drawing to a close. The Bug God once again unleashed its mind control, sweeping across the battlefield and Enslavement all the Reincarnator, manipulating them to launch suicide attacks on the warship fleet.

Meanwhile, he stayed away from the battlefield to avoid intense bombardment.

Resisting the fleet's attack consumed a great deal of its mental energy, and the physical depletion exacerbated the process, leaving it much weaker than before. It then chose to retreat.

The Federation fleet dispersed into formation, Reincarnator launched suicide attacks. They then detonated themselves to meet the enemy. More than half of the thousands of warships were lost, and when they ran out of ammunition, they automatically sailed to the edge and detonated themselves.

These thousands of warships are both heroes and expendable pawns; they are pawns in the Federation's high command's plan, and heroes in post-war propaganda.

Half an hour later, the Reincarnator were almost all dead or wounded. The remaining hundreds of warships chased after the Bug God. They possessed faster-than-light engines, and even the Bug God's spiritual power horses couldn't outrun them.

With its ammunition exhausted, the warship approached the Bug God and self-destructed, consuming its spiritual energy. At that moment, an ordinary warship approached. The Insect Bug God was used to this and didn't pay much attention. However, after the warship self-destructed, the Bug God lost its composure.

This warship carries Q-bomb, and more than one!

From Russell's side, which was far away, all he could see was a blindingly bright light rising up, the enormous sphere of light comparable to a newborn star.

After the light lasted for about half a minute, Russell's view changed dramatically, and he found himself on the 16th square of a square-shaped war chessboard.

The Bug God died, and the Supreme God ruled that the players in the human faction had won.

It was a Pyrrhic victory; the only real winners were Ying Yingying and Mu Xinxin, the latter of whom fell into mental confusion and remains mentally unstable to this day.

"See? I told you so! You survived to the end and won with zero kills!"
