In the vast universe, carbon-based life exists the most and is the most widespread. The reason is that carbon is the element that is easiest to connect with other basic bases to form complex life structures.

The other is the silicon element that people often talk about. Although there are not as many silicon-based life forms in the universe as there are carbon-based ones, there are still a lot of them. They have also created many splendid civilizations.

The last energy beings are the rarest, they are the most mysterious and powerful, they are the most magical creations in the universe, and the ether dragons also belong to energy-like beings.

Most of the Leviathan beasts that roam the universe have the characteristics of energy life.

Because they are so mysterious, many studies on them are superficial speculations. The most authoritative research statement at this stage is that the ether dragon is not a natural product of this universe.

They are lives that have survived the last round of universe collapse, and they are existences that have nothing to do with the matter in the current universe, but Swarm doesn't see it that way.

Swarm is heading towards the galaxy, Consume One of the purposes of life in the universe is to survive the Big Crunch and the Great Annihilation. If there is really life that can do this, Swarm would have known about it a long time ago.

Swarm has really eaten an ether dragon, and there was more than one. Swarm concluded that the ether dragon is a natural product of this universe. It is a kind of existence that combines energy life and silicon-based life.

Despite putting in a lot of effort, a lot of Cerebrate also spent a lot of energy studying the ether dragon, but they still couldn't decipher the secrets of the ether dragon. We only know that his magical existence form is related to the ether element.

Such a result may be due to the fact that the previous Swarm's behavior was too domineering. The ether dragons studied by Swarm were all blown into pieces, lacking complete and key samples.

As natural disasters, Devourer and Swarm of the Milky Way still missed many mysterious things in the universe. For example, a genius scientist in a civilization who could establish a theory that spanned the ages was devoured by Swarm as the most common biomass.

Violence is the most direct way to achieve what you want, but the results may not necessarily be the best.

The most recorded information in the Swarm database is not the origin of the ether dragon, various data, life forms, personality characteristics, and other research angles.

The most documented ones are the weaknesses of the Ether Dragon, how to attack him, how to destroy him with minimal losses, Consume the price he paid and the gains he gained.

The style of the material is very Swarm, just eat and do it.

This made Zhang Han realize that perhaps, the existence of the ether dragon was both a danger and an opportunity. If he could be tamed and studied, it would be of great benefit to Swarm in filling Swarm's technical gaps.

In the past, it would have been very difficult to catch a live, intact Aether Dragon. He was very violent and would attack anything that dared to enter his territory. It was not without reason that he was always killed.

But in Tabi Star, the huge Psionics sea actually calmed the violent ether dragon and allowed him to sleep comfortably.

Zhang Han made two preparations. The first was force preparation. Swarm's information gave him many methods to fight against the etheric dragon. Even if the current Swarm is still relatively weak, it can still be operated. As long as targeted troops are developed, dragon slaying is also feasible.

The second is to establish a spiritual channel to pass on the information about the etheric dragon perceived by one's own mental power, and slowly and slowly study the sleeping etheric dragon bit by bit.

It seems that the time that my consciousness will stay in the sea of Psionics will be extended again. Why does it feel like I was staying at home playing games before time travel, but now I am doing research in the sea of Psionics.

Under the moonlight, somewhere in the central plain of the Altia Empire, a huge army was marching slowly holding the royal flag. This was Robert's army that had retreated.

It seems to be well-equipped and gorgeously dressed, but in fact it has no fighting spirit and low morale. The scale has also shrunk a lot, and some bold nobles have taken the opportunity to leave the team with their own people.

At the core of the team, on the familiar gorgeous carriage, Robert had lost all his vigor, and the majesty of being the new king no longer belonged to him.

"George, what should I do? If Chloe wins, she won't let us go. Even if we really withdraw to the capital and regroup the army, can we win?" Robert lay on the chair with his head up, looking up blankly.

"Honestly, it's difficult. I discussed it with the archmages. With the combat power Behemoth has shown on the battlefield, no city wall can stop it. Unless it stands still and lets the mages keep bombarding it with Psionics, we won't be able to kill it."

George, who always maintained an elegant state, now looked a little tired.

"And not only Behemoth, but also those Swarm monsters that are like killing machines, we are also unstoppable. In addition, after our failure this time, the nobles will no longer support us. They have always been mere wallflowers."

After saying these words, George became a little more energetic, shook his neck and moved his body.

"Have we really failed? What will be our fate? Will we be killed by Chloe, and then lie quietly in the coffin like our father and mother?"

Robert's voice was full of despair, and the word death, which was once far away from him, frequently appeared in his mind. He didn't want to die. Although he had killed countless people, he had never had the consciousness to be killed.

Suddenly there was light in Robert's eyes. He wanted to struggle, he wanted to survive, "We can go to Arthur and unite with him, and then we can send envoys to the other three countries. Everyone knows the prophecy, as long as we unite..."

Robert was surprised to see George who had come to his desk. He was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, George? Is there anything wrong with the plan I just mentioned?"

"There is no problem in logic, my dear brother, but there is a big problem in execution." Robert seemed to see a little disdain in George's eyes, "The Republic of Croland, our neighbor, they are the most mercenary. Do you expect them to spend money to fight against Chloe? The most shining thing about the sword on their national emblem is not the blade but the gem on the hilt."

"As for the Highlanders, they are indeed brave and good at fighting. Unfortunately, they are not only good at fighting, they are also good at fighting among themselves. For many years, there has never been a competition for a new chief. The falcon flag is indeed feared, but that is history."

While talking, George took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and slowly put them on.

"Also, as for the Oakley Empire, they are not only good at trade, they are also very powerful militarily, and they are also very united internally. If you ask them for help, it will definitely be useful." Robert obviously did not give up.

"Indeed, they will be helpful, but it is a pity that they are too far away like a proud stag." After finishing speaking, George had already put on his white gloves.
