This memory makes Zagara more responsible and missionary, and also makes her full of ambition. The reason why Kundera competes for Overmind is because of the genetic logic of Swarm, there must be a Overmind, and Kundera is pushed forward.

Zagara is completely different. When Overmind disappeared into Swarm Network, when she no longer had the highest authority over her head, Zagara was not as confused, sad, and confused as other Swarm Node. She was first surprised, and then uncontrollably excited.

She felt this was an opportunity, an opportunity for her to take control of Swarm.

She also knew that this was a sign of disloyalty and was contrary to the trend of thought in Swarm Network, but she could not control this mood or her own ambition. This may be a change brought about by too long a memory.

Zagara stretched out his hand and gave a virtual squeeze to the star in the distance. The star did not change at all. It seemed that shaking it like this was just an action.

"I said, let there be light." Zagara said in her unique hoarse voice.

Three minutes later, the star exploded, producing a supernova explosion that instantly lit up the entire universe. At this time, all the light that could be seen up, down, left, and right was Consume.

This energy is so strong, this energy is so great, in the future the entire galaxy will see the light emitted by this star with its life at this moment.

The insect fleet that was still fighting near the star was instantly swallowed up by the supernova explosion, and no scraps were left.

This encounter was Zagara's conspiracy. She had already prepared a Star Eater that turned into light particles to attack, and it took her half a year to attack here, with the purpose of killing the wild beast Kundera.

Star Eater will continue to shrink within half a year, investing all its energy in increasing its speed. Eventually, when it hits the star, its speed will reach 97% of the speed of light. As for why it cannot reach 100%.

Because the energy required to accelerate matter to the speed of light is infinite, this is the rule of the real universe, the speed of light is a prison, and this is the truth before new theories emerge.

This is a cheap and effective weapon. Small light particles become extremely powerful due to their speed and can shatter stars and trigger supernova explosions in stars.

When the energy of the supernova explosion impacted Zagara, the giant Leviathan immediately took her into its abdomen and protected her firmly.

The attack was timed just right. In the instant of this explosion, the entire Consume galaxy, including Zagara and Kundera's entire Swarm fleet, except for a few powerful Swarm units, would be reduced to ashes.

Even the giant Leviathan protecting Kundera was blown away by the huge energy and pushed away from the star at a speed of one hundred kilometers per second.

Even the specialized Leviathan suffered serious injuries due to the supernova explosion. Ordinary life is too fragile in the face of the power of the universe.

Because the energy level of the supernova explosion is too great, the speed of the material ejected makes the space outside Leviathan extremely dangerous, and the electromagnetic radiation also causes all kinds of communications, including Swarm Network, to be temporarily offline.

Zagara, who was inside Leviathan at this moment, had no way of knowing anything, and was almost isolated from her own Swarm. She felt uncomfortable despite being so fully prepared, and she didn't think Kundera would be any better.

Before triggering the supernova explosion, she launched two fierce offensives to draw out Kundera.

In order to reassure Kundera that he would end the battle personally, Zagara also deliberately stood outside the giant Leviathan to show that it was safe and that it was an upright battle.

Kundera is cautious and prudent. His name is Wild Pioneer. He has strong physical qualities and extremely strong personal combat effectiveness.

He is also very good at using his strong personal combat power to gain advantages in local battlefields.

It was almost impossible to kill him under the heavy protection of his Swarm fleet, so Zagara adopted this extreme method to try to kill him.

The comparison of the strength of the two sides in this encounter was Zagara 1.2 million and Kundera 1 million.

If we fight it with conventional means and turn it into a war of attrition, Zagara is sure to win more, and the battle damage will be better than the battle. However, it is all worth it. As long as Kundera is killed, she will be Overmind.

I hope that the space environment will return to normal in a few days and I will get good news.

Five days later, before the effects of the hyperspace explosion had completely faded, Zagara's follow-up fleet, Swarm, jumped into the galaxy through the hyperspace channel.

At the same time, on the other side of the galaxy, the Swarm fleet, which was no smaller than Zagara, also jumped into the galaxy. It was Kundera's reinforcements.

The Hatchery on both sides have been fighting for so long. As soon as they met, they could identify the Swarm Network on the opposite side and immediately started fighting with each other.

Of course, the Swarm fleets on both sides are not here to fight to the death, but to delay and contain the other party, and then find their own core nodes.

Soon the Swarm fleet of Zagara took the lead in discovering the Swarm Leviathan protecting Zagara, and quickly protected her.

When Zagara reconnected to her network, she found that Kundera had also been found and protected, and he was not dead!

You must know that Zagara's giant Leviathan was originally her backup plan. After triggering the supernova explosion, she left here through the giant Leviathan's curvature engine, quickly reunited with her own Hatchery, and immediately began to attack Kundera's Hatchery.

It's just that she underestimated the power of the supernova explosion. The giant Leviathan was too seriously injured and entering the curvature bubble may be very risky, so Zagara gave up.

Who would have thought that in addition to the giant Leviathan, Kundera would also survive!

Investigating Overlord, he saw that what was firmly protected by Kundera's Swarm fleet were several lumps of rotten meat in the middle, which were not even half as big as a Zergling.

God knows how Kundera's Swarm could quickly find such a small piece of something in such a vast universe. It seems that Kundera was well prepared for being beheaded.

Zagara sighed, this time the tactic failed, Kundera survived again, and the civil war will continue.

Suddenly Zagara received a communication request from Kundera. It was just ordinary quantum communication, without using mental power or Swarm Network.

Using a supernova explosion to execute the beheading plan has resulted in a lack of basic trust between both parties.

"Zagara, you are going too far! In order to win, you don't care about the life and death of your Swarm fleet?"

Because the communication was encrypted, Zagara couldn't see Kundera's current state, otherwise she really wanted to see what a ball of rotten meat looked like soaked in nutrient solution.

"Why should I care about their life and death? Swarm has always been like this. If we can achieve our goal, no matter how much we sacrifice, Swarm will not hesitate." Zagara said arrogantly.

"The battle between us is just to compete for Overmind's Swarm civil war, not a life-and-death battle with Swarm enemies!"
