One statement stirred up a thousand thunderclaps!
Everyone looked up again!
An utterly unbelievable thought even arose in their hearts.
How could that be possible?!
How could such a powerful strike fail to destroy that tentacle?
That had been nearly a hundred continent-level attacks!
Even Holy Keisha, universally acknowledged as the strongest being in the universe for nearly ten thousand years—
If she took an attack like that, even her divine body should have scattered away!
And yet.
They saw it with their own eyes.
That tentacle, after enduring the attack—
Had truly not been destroyed!
Then, the tentacle began its counterattack!
It suddenly expanded again and, at an utterly unreasonable speed, lashed out at the attacking warships!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was as if fireworks had suddenly gone off throughout space, explosions blazing everywhere!
Every burst of light represented the crash of a super warship capable of destroying a continent!
All of it happened in less than a second!
What... what was that?
Was that even a living creature???
What kind of joke was this?!
A single tentacle withstood nearly a hundred continent-level attacks, yet it could still retaliate instantly?
And before that tentacle, those warships were as thin and brittle as paper!
After destroying the warships, the tentacle casually swept again, smashing the massive Space Fortress.
Then, it reached toward the planet.
A planet inhabited by hundreds of millions of intelligent lifeforms, a planet that had nurtured a civilization through an endlessly long history.
All the intelligent beings could do was look up at the tentacle standing high in the heavens.
Then...
BOOM!!!!!!!!
The tentacle wrapped around the planet and, as though lightly pinching up a clump of dirt, utterly destroyed a civilization with highly advanced technology!
The entire planet instantly fell silent and dead!
At last, the tentacle split apart, its flesh and blood spreading and surging endlessly across the surface.
In the end.
Every inch of the planet was covered in revolting tentacles, flesh, and eyeballs.
Time sped up.
In less than a day, countless tentacles on the surface began to move, giving birth to Soren Original Worms as vast as continents.
They looked completely different from the Queen Insect they had just seen. Their forms resembled living warships more than anything else.
The enormous insectoid warships raised their heads, terrifying light gleaming from their horrifying faces.
The next second, they shot straight into the sky.
"Look, there are so many fleets!"
Everyone focused their eyes and only then realized that nearly a hundred more warships had appeared out of nowhere above the planet.
The instant those ships saw the insectoid warships, their main cannons had already locked on and begun a volley.
But the results were minimal.
Then, the tumors on the insectoid warships writhed as they began to counterattack.
The battle's outcome seemed decent. They shot down twice as many insectoid warships as their own number.
The price was the complete destruction of those warships.
Just as everyone saw this and felt relieved—
Even more insectoid warships rose from the surface!
They did not even seem saddened by the deaths of their companions. Like precision machines, they headed for the next star system and repeated their actions.
"I understand now!"
Someone suddenly spoke. "Look at the ships in the middle of those fleets—their shapes are different!"
Everyone stared carefully, and only then did they make out that among the scalp-numbing number of Zerg fleet ships, there seemed to be several different models. They did not appear to be responsible for combat. Whenever they encountered a group of warships, they kept their distance or remained under the protection of other ships.
Only in the next scene did everyone understand the purpose of these vessels.
Though they were not the giant bug's tentacles, their duties were quite similar.
After exterminating all intelligent life on a planet's surface, these special ships would transform the planet into a brood nest suitable for Zerg reproduction. The brood nest would then hatch more bugs, repeating the cycle over and over.
"So that's it! This is the so-called Zerg!"
Everyone finally understood.
What they had just seen through the Light Screen was the way the Soren Original Worms came into being.
First came that unimaginably terrifying giant eye. That was their Queen Mother.
The moment the Queen Mother appeared in this region of the universe, she would seize the nearby star systems and transform their planets into brood nests.
Once transformed into brood nests, those planets gained the ability to breed Zerg. They could produce bugs comparable to space warships, as well as vessels with functions similar to the Queen Mother.
Protected by escorts, those ships began expanding into other star systems just like the Queen Mother.
And so the cycle repeated.
Until... there was no end.
Silence...
Deathly silence!!!
At that very moment, every intelligent lifeform felt incomparable fear and shock!
Only after truly understanding the Soren Original Worms did people realize just how terrifying this race was!
First of all, they were simply far too powerful!
Some of those civilizations had already gained the ability to explore the universe and even possessed fleets of their own.
Yet before the Zerg, they had no ability to fight back at all!
And the speed at which these Zerg expanded... was so fast that it barely seemed like the work of a living organism!
Most terrifying of all—
These bugs had no desires whatsoever!
They merely faithfully obeyed the race's most fundamental purpose: reproduction and expansion.
They were powerful, reproduced at an astonishing rate, possessed endless urges to expand, and would not communicate with any intelligent civilization.
"Too... too terrifying!"
"Does such a horrifying race truly exist in the universe?"
"This is already an enemy of the entire universe! The whole universe must unite to destroy this race, or the next to be destroyed might be ourselves!"
"That's right! These bugs are nothing like an intelligent civilization. They're more like a disaster, a catastrophe!"
"But... can we defeat them?"
The answer was almost obvious.
They could not!
Those civilizations, those civilizations so easily crushed by the Zerg, possessed technology that made them feel inferior. Even they had been unable to resist the Zerg in the slightest.
What about them, then?
What about the Angel Civilization...?
Someone could not help but place the Angel Civilization into this unsolvable war.
Fallen Queen Morgana: Even if Holy Keisha were still alive, even if the Angel Civilization were at the height of its prosperity, before the Zerg Scourge, they would merely be losers with slightly stronger resistance.
This time, no one refuted the Fallen Queen's words.
Even the Angel Civilization itself sank into deep doubt!
If such a terrifying Zerg Scourge truly appeared in their universe—
They seemed to have no ability to fight back at all!
In an instant, every civilization placed itself within this catastrophe.
They resisted, were destroyed, and watched their home planets assimilated into Zerg nests.
If all of this was real—
Then it would likely become a catastrophe that overturned the entire universe!
