On Tabby, Cross, with the help of Isa, temporarily resisted Abaddon's landing bug swarm. If he did not send more troops to support, his fighting bugs would not last long.

However, Abaddon's current attention is not on the logged-in Swarm. The ether dragon that gives him a huge headache has occupied all his attention.

His Swarm fleet faithfully carried out the order and did not kill the dragon. After paying extra casualties, the dragon was finally trapped.

A special stance barrier was established, surrounding the ether dragon. With the strength of the stance, the dragon could not break it no matter how hard it struggled. In order to maintain the stance barrier, Abaddon used up all his Swarm Leviathans and let them provide energy.

Seeing the dragon in front of him angrily crashing into the barrier, but the barrier did not move at all, Abaddon smiled happily. What a good sample this is, what a good research material, there are always surprises in the universe, and the secrets in the universe are endless.

Leviathan, carrying Abaddon, arrived outside the force field barrier. He wanted to observe the test sample in front of him more closely and carefully.

A channel opened on Leviathan's head, and Abaddon, whose lower body was a reptile and whose upper body was densely packed with spores, rose up from the channel. He began his observation through the transparent barrier.

"Strong body, extremely high Psionics affinity, superb Psionics release skills." Abaddon climbed while admiring the dragon's anger. Even one of the dragon's eyes was countless times bigger than him, and his size could only be regarded as dust.

Abaddon is not afraid at all. He has calculated the strength of the barrier and the dragon's most powerful attack cannot shake the barrier at all.

"You must also have high wisdom. You can work for this little Hatchery, why can't you work for me?" Instead of using Psionics, Abaddon used the traditional Swarm language, amplified it with Leviathan and spoke it to the etheric dragon.

This is a special kind of electromagnetic wave, which is easy to identify and understand. Abaddon dare not use the Psionics connection method to communicate. The Psionics attainments shown by the ether dragon are too terrible. If his brain is burned, he will be in big trouble.

After finishing speaking, Abaddon paused for a moment. He saw that the ether dragon might have understood, but it had no intention of paying attention to him. Instead, it pushed harder against the barrier blocking him.

"I don't understand. You are so smart, you should be able to see clearly the strength and weakness." Abaddon stretched out his tiny limbs and pointed into the distance. "Did you see? The Hatchery you are loyal to doesn't have much power anymore. There are only six thousand left, and I still have 30,000."

"And I have found their core Hatchery. I really didn't expect that the core Hatchery is in that piece of Forest, and the number of combat bugs is too small. The young logical consciousness is too aggressive, investing too many resources in development, and not hatching enough troops."

Abaddon showed a smile and said, "Now, he has to pay the price for his rashness. Let me inherit his legacy."

The etheric dragon stopped hitting the barrier, and Abaddon thought his persuasion had worked. Indeed, the dragon's flashing eyes seemed to be conveying a message.

The message was soon deciphered. "Are you the core node of this Swarm fleet?"

"Yes, I am the core node Abaddon, a name that has been passed down for 60 million years. Some people call me scholar, some people call me evolution master, and you can also call me by my name. I don't really care about these things. It's great that you can take the initiative to communicate."

Abaddon raised his hands happily, and the spores all over his body trembled with his laughter, "You swear allegiance to me, I will not kill you, and I will provide you with food, and you will no longer have to participate in such cruel and painful battles. I only have one request, cooperate with me to study the secrets in you. I like research and knowledge very much."

"What a coincidence, I happen to be short of a research-type talent, so why don't you pledge your allegiance to me? From now on, I will keep you away from the battlefield so that you can concentrate on research. You see, you are not very good at fighting. Three times the number of troops allowed you to win a bloody battle..."

The Ether Dragon's reply made Abaddon very angry. It is true that he always loses more than he wins in battles, but not everyone can use this joke to mock him.

"It seems that you are still a little unconvinced. Don't be afraid. Take your time. I have many ways to make you surrender. By then, I don't think you will forget the pain in your life." After saying these cruel words, the spores on Abaddon's body glowed green, and the things inside became more active.

Gravitational waves? What gravitational waves? Why are there special gravitational waves here?

When the news reached Abaddon's mind through Swarm Network, he was very confused. There was a massive object distorting space and moving here!

The time was too short and the speed was too fast. Abaddon had no time to analyze what it was. It was the speed beyond light, it was the power to distort space, and it was an unstoppable impact!

In an instant, the barrier that trapped the ether dragon was shattered, and the Swarm fleet surrounding the barrier Abathur was also blown to pieces by this force. The power of space distortion cannot be resisted by any armor, flesh, or material.

Only Abathur himself was wrapped in a curvature bubble and was not affected. His escort fleet was all gone.

A red claw caught him in his hand. In Abathur's eyes, this was a powerful Zerg, a type he had never seen before. His carapace was also full of cracks and looked like it was about to break.

Yes, this is Zhang Han with Overmind consciousness back. It was he who operated the curvature bubble fifty times the speed of light to collide, causing the extremely compressed space to collide with the normal space.

This kind of operation is very risky. No matter how strong Zhang Han's Overmind's body is, it can't withstand the tearing of space. Half of the cell nanorobots in his body are dead, and his body is only ten meters tall.

With Zhang Han's current physical condition, even one Corruptor may not be able to defeat it. But this risk is worth it. The cooperation between the two Zhang Han perfectly lured out the core node of the invasion Swarm fleet, thus completing the effect of killing with one blow and capturing the thief and the king.

Instead of using inefficient radio wave communication, human nature Zhang Han directly used Psionics to connect to Abaddon's consciousness, without letting Overmind's consciousness take action. What he needed was to recover quietly.

"How about it? It's not too late for you to surrender now. What I just said still stands. If you don't want to be crushed, just be loyal to me."

After connecting to the spiritual power, Abaddon recognized this spiritual power frequency. Is this the spiritual power of Overmind?!

This logical consciousness of Hatchery is the fragment of consciousness of Overmind? It is possible that although this consciousness is also powerful and suffocating, there is still a gap compared to the real Overmind.

"What's your answer?" Zhang Han asked again.

There is no shame in surrendering to Overmind, Abaddon thought. How arrogant he was just now, he will kneel down quickly now.

So he lowered his head and said, "Abaddon pledges allegiance to you, the great Overmind."
