The universe was utterly silent.
Then, a barrage of comments as vast as the sea swept across the Light Screen!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! What did I just see??"
"The Zerg fleet was wiped out! Were those really the Zerg I was just watching? The Zerg, which could even be called destroyers of civilizations, were actually annihilated by a single fleet!"
"Not only that! That fleet even destroyed the bugs' nests!"
The scene had been unimaginably despairing just moments ago.
Yet it stood in stark contrast to the shocking sight before them now.
That overwhelmingly imposing man—no, he should be called Xiang Yu, the Azure Dragon Fleet Supreme Commander. Was he truly a sentient being?
Even Holy Keisha would probably pale in comparison before him!
"If this keeps up, the Zerg will probably be wiped out sooner or later, right?"
"I don't think so. Although the Azure Dragon Fleet destroyed a massive Zerg fleet and even eliminated a nest, don't forget how terrifying the Zerg's reproduction rate is!"
"Yeah! That Zerg fleet looked huge, but the Zerg have already occupied so many planets. There have to be at least several hundred nests."
"With such a small fleet, they could probably replenish it in the time it takes to sleep, right?"
"That's true... Sigh, what a shame. I was just starting to think things were looking up!"
Some people recalled the terror of the Zerg and could not help feeling regretful.
However, there were still clever people among them.
"Guys, what nonsense are you even talking about?"
The supreme ruler of the Yi Ren Civilization sent a message with a speechless expression. "Have the Zerg scared you stupid? Did you forget what we're watching?"
"If such a terrifying Zerg swarm were still in the universe, would you all still be alive and well?"
Those words jolted everyone awake!
That was right!
This was the universe contribution ranking!
This was evidence of the Immortal Qin Empire exterminating the Zerg!
"I'll admit it, I'm an idiot!"
"I was completely scared stupid by the Zerg. How could I forget that?"
"The Zerg are a disaster that doesn't exist in the Known Universe, which obviously means they've been wiped out!"
As for—
Who it was.
And how they had eliminated the Zerg.
The answer was already obvious!
The Immortal Qin Empire!
In other words, the Zerg Scourge, the super disaster that made every civilization in the universe tremble in fear—
Had been destroyed by the Immortal Qin Empire!
And because of that—
The Immortal Qin Empire had gained an entry in the universe contribution ranking.
Eliminating the Zerg Scourge!
"Holy crap, I only just realized it!"
"And did you hear what he said earlier?"
"That great fleet commander, Xiang Yu, serves under the Immortal Qin Emperor!"
"He's from the Immortal Qin Empire!"
On the screen, countless similar scenes appeared at once.
Yet without exception, every scene repeated the same image.
Endless Zerg fleets bowing beneath the fleet of the Immortal Qin Empire!
"If it weren't for the Immortal Qin Empire's fleet, if they had invaded our star system... I'd probably be bug food by now."
"I accept it. I truly accept eliminating the Zerg Scourge!"
"This thing really deserves to be called a disaster for the entire universe!"
At this moment, every civilization and every sentient being in the universe no longer had the slightest objection.
The Zerg Scourge truly lived up to its name.
A genuine calamity!
And there was no need whatsoever to question the Immortal Qin Empire's contribution to the universe for destroying such a terrifying calamity.
Death God Academy.
"What a pity... What an absolute pity!"
Inside the study, Carl's face was full of fervor and longing.
"What a pity. If I had Zerg samples, perhaps I could grasp their biological structure. Recreating them might not even be impossible! What a shame... The Immortal Qin Empire merely destroyed them instead of capturing them for study..."
Carl continued muttering to herself, several complex lights flickering in her eyes.
Even Sino, standing nearby, rarely saw her god display such intense emotional fluctuations.
"It completely defies the structure of the Known Universe, which means it may be something from the Unknown Universe... A Void Creature? No... It doesn't seem like one, but it is definitely connected!"
"What a pity! If I had even one sample, my Void theory would become far more complete!"
Carl sighed, then suddenly froze.
She saw something extremely familiar appear on the Light Screen.
"The Immortal Qin Empire is truly incredible. Every Zerg in the universe has been completely wiped out!"
"No... It looks like there's still one. Look, what's that!"
Everyone noticed that a Zerg was still floating in the star system where the Soren Original Worm had appeared.
Its structure was utterly unique, and everyone recognized it well.
"The Queen Insect!"
Only, its body was no longer so enormous that it inspired despair.
Then people watched as the Queen Insect was carefully placed inside a container.
The once omnipotent Queen Insect was sealed within an absolutely secure transparent cage, beginning its life as a research subject and exhibit.
"Good!"
"There's only one Zerg left in the entire universe. That's wonderful!"
"Finally... Even though I've never seen them before, I can finally breathe easy."
Some rejoiced, while others let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, even more people were shocked by the immense power displayed by the Immortal Qin Empire.
A cosmic disaster beyond their imagination had been eliminated by a vast civilization even further beyond their imagination.
It would take them quite some time to come to terms with that fact.
Blue Star.
Post-war zone.
Liang Bing took a deep breath and glanced at Qiang Wei beside her.
"Qiang Wei, what do you think?"
"You're asking me?"
"Of course." Liang Bing added, "For your Blue Star Civilization, this absolutely can't be dismissed as something too distant to matter."
Qiang Wei froze for a moment. "What do you mean?"
"Still haven't figured it out?" Liang Bing's soft lips nearly brushed Qiang Wei's ear, and Qiang Wei instinctively shuddered.
"You're a very smart woman of mine. Use your heart, use your brain..."
Qiang Wei frowned. "You mean..."
She was an extremely competitive woman, and Liang Bing's words instantly stirred her fighting spirit so much that she even ignored the phrase, 'woman of mine.'
At last, Qiang Wei's eyes widened.
"You mean the form of warfare??"
"That's right!"
Liang Bing smiled and clapped her hands, then turned serious. "For civilizations that have long mastered space technology, warfare stopped being like Blue Star's current style long ago—fighting on the ground like street thugs, you hit me and I hit you. Instead, they deploy all their strength in..."
As she spoke, she pointed upward.
"Space."
Qiang Wei unconsciously clenched her fists.
"What exactly are you trying to say? If I figure it out, can I come up with some way to deal with the Demon Legion?"
"No. What I'm saying is that the Demon Legion may not be as detestable as you imagine."
"They may not be your enemies either."
