That's right, the rumors were spread by the Mimics led by Johnny, and many of the detailed processes that triggered the conflicts were also done by the local people who were incorporated into the Swarm Network.

Overmind will launch a counterattack and attack Libra Sector's war potential.

After Johnny learned the news through Typhon, he was very confused at first. Didn't Overmind want to unify Swarm first? Why did he want to invade Libra Sector so soon?

Doubts remain doubts, Johnny will not question Overmind's decision. Overmind informed him that there will be a Swarm Fleet that will go deep into Libra Sector, destroy Planet, and eliminate the population. Let him pay attention to identification and be careful of accidental injuries.

After Johnny contacted War Cerebrate, he felt that the time had come for him to show off. War is always an opportunity to destroy an old order and build a new world.

It just so happens that Underground Church and Doomsday Church established by Mimic are developing very well. It would be a waste not to make good use of this invasion of Swarm Fleet.

I'm afraid Humanity Zhang Han himself could not have imagined that after he instilled too much extra knowledge into Mimics on a whim, it would have such a good effect.

In the past, Mimic were just experts in infiltration and destruction, but now they are all-rounders who subvert everything and create a new order.

The development of Doomsday Church has been in full swing. At least a quarter of the civilizations in Libra Sector have Adherents members of the church, and many of them have powerful personnel who have been infected by Infestor.

After the invasion of Swarm Fleet caused huge panic, the development of Doomsday Church ushered in a second spring. A large number of ordinary people could only pin their spirits on virtual beliefs because they could not escape and had no choice.

The church just filled this gap. The church promoted the ideas of sacrifice and rebirth, and promoted belief in an omnipotent god with four arms.

Under the guidance of gods, the birth and destruction of the universe are opposites and unified, and the same is true for life and death. Life is the beginning of one period, and death is the beginning of another.

If you believe in this god and are lucky enough to receive the guidance of the god, even if you die, you will be resurrected in the kingdom of God and achieve eternal life.

This is a very traditional religious story. Most religions will use this story of immortality to make false promises such as resurrection in the next life.

It's just that part of the story of Doomsday Church is true. Those who are chosen and guided by God are those who have been strengthened by Infestor. Their wisdom, strength, and life intensity will increase.

After being merged into Swarm Network, they will feel the power of the network even more and think that this is the Kingdom of God. Even if they die, part of their spirit will be deposited in the network and become a part of Swarm Consciousness. In a sense, it can also be interpreted as eternal life.

False cults can deceive people and ruin their lives, but the real church can really make people desperate for their lives.

Johnny also discovered that he did not seem to have to be so careful to screen whether the people who joined the church were loyal or not, and whether ordinary people who were Infestor would betray Swarm. Doomsday Church has developed so far, and there has not been a single traitor among the core members.

Needless to say, for all the members of the congregation and the superficial believers on the periphery, there is no point even if they betray the church.

Even if they report to the relevant civilized institutions, in an environment where there are too many church organizations that cheat money, they will not attract the attention of the ruling authorities at all.

The believers who have a slight touch of the core regard the church as their home and contribute to the church wholeheartedly. These core believers are so loyal that they spontaneously monitor traitors every day and protect the church's concealment.

Being chosen by God to become Infestor and gaining the sublimation of life, this promise that can be obtained through hard work is too tempting.

There once was a story where a certain civilization was about to launch a special operation against a cult and accidentally captured a core member of the church who was strengthened by Infestor.

Because the power of the church in this civilization is still relatively weak and there are relatively few Infestors, the core members are ready to commit suicide.

The church lurkers in the civilized judicial system, police system, and administrative system issued true and false pardon orders respectively, and sent people to rescue the core members of the church. Then the three groups did not know each other, and a fight broke out.

In the end, a civilizational coup was caused. Without relying on Infestor, ordinary church members made a civilization change its ideology.

With such a powerful organization as Doomsday Church, Johnny is naturally not willing to be Swarm Fleet's supporting role. He wants to play a greater role, such as providing intelligence and supplies to Swarm Fleet so that the fleet can exist longer.

It can also guide fleets to attack civilizations that have not yet been penetrated, especially those with a strong sense of resistance and strong military strength.

It is best to control this invasion to expel Stellaris Council's influence on Libra Sector as much as possible.

In Libra Sector, things that destroy civilized order and establish underground church rule are happening in many places. The civilization of Mogol is not the first, nor will it be the last.

"Typhon, are you done?" Johnny in Swarm Network asked Typhon in Hatchery.

Under Giant Serpent Star, the huge Hatchery is evolving to the next level. Typhon presses his hands on it, adjusting his body and mind to become one with Hatchery, which speeds up the evolution of Hatchery.

The giant cocoon transformed into the evolved state of Hatchery shines with red and green light, just like the rhythm of the heartbeat. This rhythm becomes more coordinated and powerful with the help of Typhon.

Frowning, Typhon gathered some energy and communicated with Johnny: "Not yet, Hatchery's evolution is at a critical stage, I still need an hour."

"Okay, after Hatchery is over, I hope to get in touch with War Cerebrate, who commanded the destruction fleet."

Johnny's words stunned Typhon, "Johnny Node What do you want to do? You don't have the authority to command that fleet."

"I know, I just want to discuss cooperation with him. You also know that we have a lot of plans in Libra Sector. With the help of Swarm Fleet, our subversion and penetration work will make faster progress." Johnny explained patiently.

After thinking for a moment, Typhon said, "I think you should ask Overmind for instructions first. When Overmind reminded you of this invasion, he only told you to pay attention and not to be accidentally injured."

"If you want to change Overmind's plan, you must tell Overmind first. Otherwise, it would be fine if War Cerebrate ignored you. If he tells Overmind, there will be serious consequences."

"Overmind will think, are you teaching Overmind how to do things?"

A thunderbolt sounded in Johnny's mind. Yes, what he did violated Overmind's authority.

The panic spread from Johnny's heels to his brain. After calming down, he thanked Typhon and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Queen Typhon. Recently, Overmind has given me so much trust that I feel a little dizzy. For today's dinner, I will treat you to a barbecue, all you can eat."

"Okay, this is what you said." Typhon cheered happily.
