Zaire never thought that one day she would hope that Moras would appear in her sight as soon as possible. Her Swarm fleet could not hold on any longer and would be completely annihilated within an hour at most.

This is because exquisite command cannot make up for such a huge difference in combat power.

According to the original plan, Morath's 200,000 Swarm fleet was ambushed in the hyperspace channel and could jump out to support her at any time.

It's just that the hyperspace channel blocks all information from the real universe, and neither quantum communication nor Swarm Network can communicate with each other. Therefore, two Swarm Node cannot communicate with each other, and cooperation depends entirely on understanding.

Of course, there is another way, which is for Zaira to jump into the hyperspace channel and cause the channel to vibrate, which can have the effect of transmitting messages similar to a beacon.

It is impossible for ships to meet each other. The hyperspace channel is a folded space. As long as the fleets do not enter at the same frequency, the possibility of collision with each other is less than one in a billion.

Zaira has used this inefficient method to remind Morath in the hyperspace channel several times, but she still cannot see her fleet.

"Did she also have an accident there?" Zaira couldn't help but worry, thinking that the Hatchery they faced this time was really abnormal, and there were too many unexpected accidents that went against common sense.

At this time, the situation has reached an extremely critical moment. The number of Zaire's Swarm fleet has dropped to 30,000, and it may be impossible to retreat at any time and the entire army will be annihilated.

Gritting his teeth, Zaire decided to abandon the Swarm fleet and retreat on his own. The fleet is gone, and it can be hatched again. If she dies, it will be all gone.

Just when Zaire broke away from his Swarm fleet and used them as bait to cover himself and jump into the hyperspace channel, the exit of the hyperspace channel opened.

The first biological warship revealed was Morath's flagship Leviathan, and Morath's reinforcements finally arrived.

"Moras! Why did you come here! It's already too late. This Swarm fleet is very strange. Its combat effectiveness is unusually high. I think it's a trap. Let's withdraw first." While Zaire blamed Moras, he passed on what he learned about the situation and the battle through packaged memory.

"Sorry, there are some abnormal situations in hyperspace. The space structure is very unstable. I dare not jump out rashly." Moras apologized sincerely.

In the distance, the scene of Chloe commanding his Swarm fleet to kill Zaira's Swarm fleet was soon seen by Moraes. Moraes was very surprised that the strange Psionics could increase the combat effectiveness of the Swarm fleet so much.

"This is indeed abnormal, inconsistent with common sense, no, not even consistent with the laws of physics. I also think this is a trap. Come up to my Leviathan, we will retreat and pass the information to the mistress."

"Okay, I'll be right over." At this time, Zaire was in a small and flexible Overlord, and she leaned towards her without doubting Moras.

The huge Swarm Leviathan opened its mouth, and Zaire thought it was to welcome her, allowing her to enter through Leviathan's mouth.

It wasn't until the blue plasma completely submerged Overlord and Zaire that she understood Moras' purpose, but it was already too late. She didn't leave even a speck of dust in the empty universe.

"Hmph." Moras snorted coldly, then led his Swarm fleet to jump into hyperspace again and began to retreat.

Moraes is currently disconnected from the Internet. When she goes back, she will recycle this Swarm Leviathan and use Cerebrate to make up a false memory for herself. Then no one will know how Zaire died.

As for the entire squadron, she is the only core node, and her authority is the highest authority.

By the time Chloe recovered from the emotion of killing, there were no enemies left in the entire galaxy. If Swarm Network was not still operating and faithfully recorded the entire battle, Chloe would not have believed what had just happened.

Cerebrate couldn't analyze the Psionics principle just now. If the Psionics that enveloped Swarm hadn't dissipated little by little instead of disappearing suddenly, even Cerebrate would have judged that it was possible that he was hallucinating.

Chloe, who had no answer, silently said in his heart, "Dragon God bless you."

The battle process and pictures were sent back to Tabi Star, which was building Hatchery. Zhang Han, who was allocating resources, never imagined that Chloe would actually win the battle and annihilate all the enemies.

You must know that when his Overmind clone fought against Zagara's Swarm fleet, he also had twice the strength advantage, but still did not achieve an overwhelming result.

Letting Chloe take command, he didn't want to win in the first place, and Zhang Han himself didn't want to connect too much with Swarm Network, otherwise he would also be affected by Internet thoughts, and he wanted to retain his sense of humanity as much as possible.

It seems that Zhang Han was even more surprised after hearing the memory from Chloe and the battle recorded by Cerebrate. What is this Psionics stance? How come all the Swarm fleets have all their attributes enhanced by this inexplicable stance.

Abaddon, who was still doing experimental research, was quickly pulled into Swarm Network by Zhang Han. It took Abaddon longer to view the memory than Zhang Han. He also used the computing power of the giant Cerebrate to study the underlying logic of Psionics's position.

Three hours later, he said in his hoarse voice, "Great Overmind, I am very sorry, my ability cannot see through the operating mechanism and principle of this phenomenon. Logically speaking, all Psionics spells have limits, just like the power of Psionic Storm and Psionics Shock has an upper limit. If the injected mental power exceeds the threshold, the spell model will collapse."

"But this Psionics position seems to have no upper limit, and depending on the number of resonant Swarm, the power generated by Psionics will become greater and greater. I judge that there is a possibility that the dimensional membrane has become thinner, and the impact of dark energy on the real universe is greater."

"Shroud may have been posted outside the real universe. This is a crisis..." Abaddon expressed his judgment.

Recalling the scenes in the battle, the combat effectiveness of the entire Swarm fleet has been greatly improved. The power brought by Psionics is really tempting, and Zhang Han is really greedy.

"Can we still use the power that unleashes Psionics's stance like this?" Zhang Han asked.

"It is not difficult to use it again. As long as you have devout faith in Overmind and your body strength can withstand the huge spiritual pressure generated by Psionics, Swarm Network can replicate this phenomenon."

After all, Abaddon also wrote out the entire Psionics flow model in the form of mathematical formulas and matrices.

Reading the long list of formulas gave Zhang Han a headache. He did not control his consciousness rationally and seriously. Learning was too painful for him.

At the end of the formula, Abaddon brings out an unknown number and is marked with a big question mark.

"Power always has a source, energy cannot be generated out of thin air, so what is the price?" Abaddon pressed his hand on the question mark and said.
