As soon as Johnny finished speaking, the Slack Infestors in the audience started whispering. They were very disciplined, but Johnny's words were too tempting.

To become a pastor of a church, to be as capable as a high priest, to be respected and loved by others, is a status that makes people dream about it endlessly.

Johnny, who noticed the commotion of the crowd, added, "Please note that I am asking for compatriots whose bodies have changed greatly and cannot be hidden for the time being. Please don't lie. God teaches us to be honest people."

I could clearly hear disappointed sighs coming from the crowd.

"Don't be sorry. I won't do anything to hide my secrets. I will teach everyone how to hold an upgrade ceremony, but the emphasis is different. Talent is just a starting point for an individual. God's blessings have no end. As long as you have faith, you can continue to become stronger."

Johnny immediately comforted him.

"Compatriots who can hide physical changes will also have important responsibilities. In order to defeat the company, I need you to infiltrate the company. You will become company employees, elite mercenaries, and even battleship pilots, where you will expand the power of the church."

"Now you are far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength and intelligence. The church's insiders will provide you with convenience. At the right time, you will be the sharp blade that pierces the heart of the company."

After seeing that his words had appeased everyone, Johnny nodded and returned to the center position again.

"Hiding yourself and achieving your goals is a lonely and difficult thing. But the snake god left us the greatest gift. Everyone closes their eyes and feels the direction of their spiritual power in their minds."

"Follow this direction to the end, and then you will find that we are not alone, we are a real whole." Johnny's words have a kind of guiding magic, and every Infestor will be willing to obey him from the bottom of their hearts.

Johnny also closed his eyes. He felt that the conscious bodies in Swarm Network were all lit up one by one. Through Infestor, each Infestor connected his spirit to Swarm Network.

Swarm Network became more powerful. The thoughts here were full of shock and surprise. Johnny transformed himself and guided the Infestors to shape their own consciousness.

Here, using spiritual communication technology, Johnny will teach Infestor more knowledge in less time, so that they can use Swarm Network to provide convenience in work and combat.

A network without the support of Hive Mind would be much worse in terms of functionality. But it is enough. Information and organization at the spiritual level can greatly improve coordination and organizational efficiency, and the cohesion of the team will be further strengthened.

As Swarm Network spreads more and more widely, the giant snake company will be closer and closer to its demise.

Overmind Zhang Han is sitting in the huge Leviathan, and the huge Swarm fleet is jumping into hyperspace little by little under his command.

The fleet of 100,000 Swarm is not much, and can only eat some smaller Hatchery. But just like the upgrade of jungle monsters, development must be done step by step.

There are only two followers accompanying him, one is Abaddon, he is quite familiar with each Hatchery, and he also needs to command his own Swarm through the Internet.

The other is Skadi, her role is even more important. She wants to create a spiritual shadow to shield Shroud from detecting Zhang Han.

Ever since he became aware of Shroud's malicious intent, Zhang Han has been trying to find ways to hide himself. After carefully studying Psionics's theory, Skadi came up with an idea that could replicate the shielding principle of Psionics's sea.

The mental power of Swarm is extracted to form a churning darkness. Under such chaotic mental power, it will not be detected by Shroud. Even if you actively observe, you will only see black shadows.

In this expedition, Overmind must be present as the main combat force. For this reason, Skadi must follow and provide shielding for Overmind.

After Zhang Han's Swarm fleet jumped out of hyperspace, he faced the same vast insect fleet. They filled the entire universe and blocked the exit of the hyperspace channel.

The 10,000 Tusk warships that jumped out first were quickly sniped by the spore minefield. If it weren't for the fact that Youworm had not released Psionics Enchantment for the Tusk warships, which greatly improved their defense, more than half of the Tusk warships would have been lost just by breaking through the minefield.

Just after passing through the minefield, the enemy's tusk warships attacked and fought with Zhang Han's tusk warships. Corruptor and Devourer also poured in their firepower, and suddenly the vanguard's tusk warships only lost four thousand.

The defense force of this galaxy is quite strong, and sufficient preparations have been made. The fleet number is slightly more than Zhang Han, with 120,000. Due to the terrain, the combat strength of the two sides is usually about 50:50.

However, this is not a normal situation. With the blessing of Psionics from Youworm and the increase in combat power from Overmind Zhang Han, the combat power of Zhang Han is overwhelming the defending side Hatchery.

After flying out of Leviathan, Zhang Han confirmed that Skadi had indeed blocked his Shroud projection, and then he safely jumped out of hyperspace and entered the spore mine field.

How could a thing thirty meters high attract attention? Zhang Han extracted the mental power from Swarm Network and put it on a spell model. The lightning formed by Psionics enveloped Zhang Han, making him look like a thunder god.

With the last experience, Zhang Han is even more comfortable in releasing Psionic Storm. The lightning seems to be alive, using Zhang Han's four arms as the origin, shooting at the spore mines one by one, and constantly jumping from one spore to another.

Within ten seconds, all the minefields in the sky were detonated, and many self-exploding mosquitoes that got too close were electrocuted into cokes.

The defending Hatchery had obviously never seen this situation before, and it was even a step too late in mobilizing its fleet to defend.

The cleared area was immediately occupied by Zhang Han's Swarm fleet. The main fleet, dominated by Psionics Incubators and Swarm Leviathan, soon poured deadly firepower like a heavy rain onto the defending Swarm fleet.

Just like naval battles, it takes advantage of the prefix T and can better utilize its firepower advantage.

By the time the defenders adjusted their formation, they had already suffered thousands of fleet casualties. Zhang Han's arrangement was of course more than just this punch. The worms that had been prepared long ago used Psionics barriers and Psionics Enchantment to greatly strengthen the Zhang Han Swarm fleet's defense.

It is obviously the most common type of cross fire, but the battle damage ratio is astonishingly high. Psionics has become a field shield for Zhang Han.

As Brood Lord with stronger firepower entered the battlefield, the battlefield soon fell into a unilateral crushing of Zhang Han against the defending Hatchery fleet.

As long as the firepower from one side hits, it can hit the flesh and cause casualties. The firepower from the other side is often blocked by the purple Psionics barrier and it takes several rounds of firepower to cause damage.

The defender's logical consciousness immediately calculated that it could not win. It felt that it was facing a hundred thousand steel fleet of the Council instead of the same flesh and blood Swarm.
