Not willing to give in, really not willing to give in. Zagara felt endless anger and resentment rising in her heart, suppressing the fear that she would die soon and have her memory deleted from her genes.

Half a year ago, she still had nearly ten million Swarm fleets and dozens of Hatchery systems. In front of her, there was only one Swarm mistress, Kundera, standing in the way! She was only a hair away from the fruit of final victory, Overmind's authority.

Half a year later, this tiny distance finally turned into a chasm.

She still has a fleet of 400,000 Swarm on hand, and she should be able to retain most of it by forcing a breakout. The fleet that was killed in the rear is destined to be completely annihilated.

With only 400,000 Swarm fleet, is it really possible to make a comeback? Moreover, can she really escape Laplace's pursuit? Zagara has seen the battle report from Moraes. Those purple Psionics force fields can accelerate the speed of the Swarm fleet to the speed of light in a short time.

Even if she has a warp engine, her curvature navigation limit is only thirty times the speed of light. This speed is not comparable to the space folding in hyperspace, and she cannot escape forever.

A dead end, this is really a dead end. The demon insect Laplace asked her to surrender, and it turned out that he did it because she was already certain to lose. Losing to such an existence can be regarded as a worthy death.

Zagara was not planning to escape. She adjusted her fleet formation and prepared for the final decisive battle with Laplace's pursuit fleet.

Since you can't become Overmind, then you will die vigorously. You can't lose the pride of your hero node even if you lose.

One beam of spiritual light, two beams of spiritual light, and the third beam of spiritual light appeared in Zagara's mind through Psionics's organ. It was obviously the spiritual light of thinking, but Zagara seemed to be able to feel that it had a color, a light blue color.

She seemed to be able to feel the slight whisper in the aura, which seemed to be telling her something. Before, Zagara never paid attention to this voice. She is the great Swarm hero node. There are many things that need to be paid attention to, and a little voice is not worth her time.

Now, after calming down, she could clearly hear what the voice was saying.

"Can you help me? Not only can you save my life, but you can also make me Overmind of Swarm!" Zagara read the meaning of the whisper.

"Hahaha, it's a joke, it's just up to you? When you say big things, it depends on the occasion! Can you decide Swarm's Overmind?" Zagara yelled angrily.

"You are just helping, but with your power, I very much hope to become Overmind of Swarm, and isn't this exactly my wish?" Yes, Zagara's biggest wish is to become Overmind and lead Swarm.

At this desperate moment, her heart moved. "What are your conditions?"

"You need collaborators in this dimension. The universe is vast enough to accommodate enough civilizations..." Zagara was still hesitant. She didn't know if she was signing a contract with the devil.

Three red special Swarm units jumped out of hyperspace and launched an attack on Zagara's fleet. It turned out that during the time she hesitated and thought, Laplace had already penetrated the fleet she had left in the previous galaxy.

Looking at these three special Swarm units that were small in size but capable of killing everyone, Zagara knew that there was not much time left for her to hesitate.

"Okay, I agree. If you really have enough power to enable me to become Overmind, I am willing to lead Swarm to cooperate with you."

In a desperate situation, it is not difficult to make the choice to grasp the last straw.

Zagara led his Swarm, asking them to pray in the name of the Whisper of the Void, and mobilized the mental power in Swarm Network. Under the guidance of that voice, the mental power was transformed into Psionics, and began to distort reality.

To be honest, with the current Psionics organ of Zagara, it is quite difficult to perform such a technical operation. Fortunately, she has a very strong brain and the fleet carries a lot of Cerebrate, otherwise she would really not be able to do it.

In the empty cosmic space, a gap opened, and a strange space appeared. It was completely different from what it looked like in hyperspace. This was the Shroud channel, a technology developed by the beings in Shroud to move quickly within the galaxy.

Through the three Overmind bodies, Laplace clearly saw the manifestation of Shroud in the real world. When he saw Zagara's Swarm fleet, began to sail into it, and began to escape, he felt angry.

For thousands of years, no existence has dared to interfere with the internal problems of Swarm! Since the elimination of the Giant of Light, no existence has been able to interfere with the fate of Swarm!

Zagara has escaped, and the crack like a vertical pupil has closed up and disappeared. Now, it is no longer important to focus on the battlefield, but what is important is to pay the price for interfering with Swarm's existence.

There is no need to communicate the increase of Cerebrate. Laplace used his strong mental power to connect with the Overmind consciousness of Zhang Han.

"Overmind, Swarm has been provoked! We must respond!" After saying that, Laplace passed the scene of Zagara's escape to Zhang Han.

"It seems that the existence in Shroud is indeed full of malice towards us, and the mental interference in the future must be strengthened again." Zhang Han looked at the screen and said seriously.

"Yes, if you dare to provoke Swarm, I want them to perish! It just so happens that we have made a breakthrough in our research. We can use the ether element of the ether dragon to extract the power of Shroud."

Laplace's face was full of murderous intent. In the long history of Swarm, he should have destroyed the most civilizations and killed the most lives.

"Shroud is already an objective existence. If they can use it, so can we. Not only must we use Psionics and master Psionics, we must also make the existence hidden in Shroud pay the price!"

"But, Zagara escaped with their help, what should we do if Overmind competes?" Zhang Han asked the key question we are facing now.

"Don't worry, I have considered this issue when designing this system. We can let the Swarm Council among the stars authenticate your Overmind authority. Before that, you only need to connect to Kundera's network." Laplace said nonchalantly.

"Swarm's Consume operation was never carried out by one galaxy or one galaxy." A star map of a super-galaxy group appeared behind Laplace.

"Consume's action is to collect genes and evolve Swarm on one side. On the other hand, it is to strengthen the influence of Swarm Network on the observation angle and the special field in the universe from the perspective of the universe."

Looking at Zhang Han who looked puzzled, Laplace explained, "To put it simply, use Swarm Network as the starting point to influence the constants in the universe and grasp the cosmological constants from objective laws."

"Same as the existence in Shroud, they try to use Shroud to increase the dimension. We use Swarm Network to increase the dimension by grasping the cosmological constant, so in order to expand the scale of Swarm, the Consume operation is fully launched."

"In this super galaxy group, there are Swarm everywhere. Each Swarm has its own Overmind. They are the Swarm parliament."

"Fields in the universe are everywhere, and Swarm Network will be everywhere in the future. When the Swarm parliament is strong enough, we will be the law. We are as eternal as the universe, and we will ascend the dimension from the regular universe."

When Zhang Han longed for the vision narrated by Laplace, on the mechanical planet where the agreement was solemnized in the dark universe, the countdown came to an end.

A line of code crossed each core processor. "We are the guardians of the galaxy. We should defend the galaxy from the invasion of high-dimensional demons. The cleanup operation begins..."

More and more mechanical planets began to awaken, and the golden-red fleet and steel army of the Suzheng Agreement set foot in the galaxy again.
