"Laplace said that Shroud is not only elongating, but also attached to the surface of our dimension like a Parasite creature. The details are as deep as capillaries."

"Although the current demonstration results show that using Psionics to a limited extent will not have a bad impact on the real universe, we can't say for sure in the future."

"Our goal should still be to understand the essence of Shroud. If it is broken, destroy it. If it can be used, we must study it carefully and use it with caution."

The statement of human consciousness made Overmind consciousness frown, and he said, "I don't object to your cautious attitude, but I'm wondering if you are too conservative. Nothing is completely risk-free."

If he had anything to say after seeing the human consciousness, Overmind consciousness interrupted him, "Let's agree on a threshold. Our use of Psionics will not exceed a certain limit. For example, the size of the Swarm fleet affected by the Psionics force field will not exceed one million at a time."

"Each galaxy has a maximum size of one million, and the total size of the entire Swarm does not exceed a thousand. I have also communicated with Laplace that this Psionics level is a completely bearable risk."

"Well, it is true that the risk is acceptable as you said. But in the process of using Psionics, you must record all kinds of data. The research is accumulated from the details bit by bit." Human consciousness said helplessly.

After the exchange, the human consciousness focused on integrating the incarnations of consciousness known as gods with the Swarm Nodes, while the Overmind consciousness prepared to launch a fierce attack on Gurt.

He originally planned to wait for the super-giant Leviathan he prepared to hatch like a planet before launching an attack. Suddenly with the strong support of Psionics, Overmind had the intention to practice.

On the other hand, Zagara is indeed terrifyingly tenacious. During this period of battle, under the siege of both Zhang Han and Kundera, she not only defended most of the front, but also gained some advantages over Kundera.

Zagara took advantage of Kundera's too rapid attack and launched a counterattack, injuring Kundera again. Although this counterattack did not completely change Zagara's disadvantageous situation, it also gained her more strategic space.

Thinking of Zagara's title of master tactician, and the fact that she is the Swarm hero node with the most wins with less, Zhang Han really doesn't dare to let her continue to develop.

First, Zhang Han supplied another one million Swarm fleet to Stars and Chloe, telling them to fight freely and not care about the losses. Then, he prepared three consciousness incarnations to create pressure on Gurt from the front.

After occupying a meteorite fortress, you can also squeeze into a fighting Hatchery, Zhang Han, and you can invest up to 500,000 Swarm fleets at one time into Gurt's defensive system.

Because his military strength was too rich, he also summoned Narga, gave her a fleet of one million Swarm, and asked her to attack the other galaxy of the twin galaxies.

As long as there is no battle in which the entire army is wiped out, Zhang Han can replenish the losses through the Hatchery at the rear. Even if he really makes a mistake and suffers heavy losses, the eggs he saves can quickly replenish the losses in a battle.

To use the words of a certain TV series, there has never been such a rich war fought.

Gurth looked at the Swarm fleet surging out of hyperspace, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. With both strength and quality lagging behind, holding on to the galaxy was both hard and difficult.

And for so long, Zagara has not sent him any reinforcements. His Swarm fleet was supplemented by several nearby Hatchery systems under his control.

Gradually, these supplies could no longer keep up with the consumption, and the two million Swarm fleet he had in hand gradually became less and less.

"Gurter, let's ask Zagara for help. I have a hunch that this attack will be even more difficult to defend. It will be the strongest and most violent attack." Viper Kesette suggested to Gurt.

The twin galaxies were guarded by two Swarm Node, one was Gurt, and the other candidate Zagara gave the choice to Gurt, and he chose Kesette, who had the best relationship with him.

In fact, from the perspective of command ability, Kesette is not a good choice, his ability is relatively mediocre. But Gurt really doesn't like those nodes who are related to Zagara and call her mistress. Those Queen are very good in terms of ability, but they are very difficult to get along with in terms of personality.

They are very particular about seniority among themselves, and they are divided into hierarchies based on their authority in the network. Those with lower authority must call adults with higher authority, and those with higher authority command nodes with lower authority than themselves like slaves.

Swarm Network, which was once relatively harmonious, has become more hierarchical. Gurt seems to have become an outsider, an outsider who is incompatible with Swarm Network. Therefore, he would rather choose Kesette, who has mediocre abilities, than choose another Queen as his deputy.

"Why Kesette, don't you respectfully call Zagara your mistress?" Gurt said half-jokingly.

"Well, there is no need to say this between the two of us. You also know that calling the Zagara node mistress can win her favor, and her Queen nodes will not be so harsh on me."

Kesette showed a helpless expression.

"I'm different from you. I have no background, no power, and relatively average abilities. In this Swarm Network, I can only conform to them and act low-key. If you want to live smoothly on the Internet, being gregarious is a must."

"Hmph, when Overmind was still there, although he was stricter, he always talked about things and never looked at us in a condescending way.

Now in Zagara's Swarm Network, the nodes have begun to disguise themselves, and they are suspicious of each other, taking advantage of each other, and scheming for power, which makes me feel very strange."

Gurt also has some dissatisfaction with the current situation.

"Okay, okay. Let's discuss business. Let's ask for help from Zagara. Give us another million, or even half a million Swarm fleet." Kesette seemed to be afraid that Gurt's complaint would be overheard, and immediately interrupted him.

"Do you think I haven't tried it?" This time a wry smile appeared on Gurt's face.

"You also know about the recent defeat of Zagara's favorite child Moras. She lost 750,000 Swarm fleet in one fell swoop, almost losing all her main force."

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand. If I still have a fleet of seventy-five Swarm, I dare to guarantee that we will hold on for another month without wavering."

"Because of Moraes' failure, Zagara did send reinforcements, only 500,000, all of which were given to Moraes, allowing her to hold off the enemy and guard the rear."

"I am not opposed to this. After all, this rear is our rear. If it is really broken through and we are faced with a flanking attack from both front and rear, we will definitely fail."

Kesette showed an expression of disbelief at first, and then became as helpless as Gurt.

The war situation has reached this point, and reinforcements cannot be expected.
