One line of machinery was destroyed, and then the guardian insect destroyed another line of machinery in the same way. The Insect King, which had just begun to heal, had two more huge holes through it. Suddenly, the guardian insect attacked again and discovered a third line of machinery. The Insect King had another deep hole, and its fluids condensed into countless huge spheres in space.

The Insect King was on the verge of losing its mind. Under its command, Li Shun's warship was instantly engulfed by the swarm of insects, and the billions of surviving people also became food for the insects.

Guan Sengping, watching from afar, was extremely tense. Now, with three routes of machinery lost and only two remaining, and the warship destroyed, they had no news of the situation. They also didn't know if the Insect King could be controlled. Although the Insect civilians remaining near the Insect King wouldn't be attacked by the Insects because the Insects wouldn't discover that they had been transplanted and altered, they dared not send any messages now. If they were exposed, they would only die.

Guan Sengping's worries were unnecessary, because one route had already reached the vicinity of the Insect King's brain before it was discovered. Even if this place were discovered now, it would be useless. Attacking the Insect King's brain would be tantamount to killing the Insect King. The Insect King's white brain was already in front of the machine. No matter how powerful the Insect King was, its brain was still vulnerable.

The machine began injecting anesthetic into the Insect King's Insect King, putting it in a relaxed state, which would make it easier for a human brain to take its place. This surgical machine was incredibly skilled; a civilian's brain was removed from the box, still in a state of thought. This is the power of technology, so amazing.

The machine quickly connected the neural pathways of the human brain to key locations in the insect's brain. Once the connection was complete, the human brain suddenly trembled a few times and lost its ability to think. The machine immediately began data analysis. The Insect King's Consciousness Field was too powerful. Sensing the intrusion of a new Consciousness Field, it directly retaliated against the new Consciousness Field.

There was one brain left, with a high level of mechanical intelligence. It used data to mechanically sever several nerve threads of the Insect King, and then reconnected the human brain to the Insect King's brain. This time, the human brain trembled for a while before finally calming down, and it was still thinking. It succeeded.

Ten minutes later, the machines reconnected the severed neural pathways of the Insect King, restoring the brain's control over the entire body. Now, the Insect King's consciousness had dissipated, leaving only the consciousness of the human brain. The machines also automatically shut down one by one, without any signal.

The surrounding insects were unaware that the Insect King had been directly turned into Li Shun's subordinate. When they saw the Insect King down, they assumed that the Insect King had finally resolved its internal problems. The swarm stopped advancing and waited for the Insect King to recover. A fat, high-level insect squeezed near the Insect King, observed it carefully for a while, and then sped away.

"Haha, hahaha, Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The unification of the Milky Way is just around the corner."

"Ah, this feeling is wonderful, Wei Kaiyuan. Now think carefully about how to use this powerful force. Now that we have the Insect King, we can control even more high-level insects."

"Your Majesty, the Insect King is still in the recovery period. It is estimated that it will take at least two or three years to fully recover. If possible, we should still perform the transplant surgery on the insects. This will make it easier to control them, and even if the Insect King has a problem one day, we will still have the other insects firmly under our control."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Rebuild the Third Base immediately and begin large-scale population reproduction."

At this moment, Li Shun felt like a poor man who had been starving for decades, finally getting a hearty meal. Such a massive force was enough to make Li Shun lose his head. This force was enough to destroy the entire galaxy. How could Li Shun, who had never even been able to defeat Hu Yu, not lose his head?

If it weren't for Hu Yu's actions, Li Shun would have had no chance at all. Hu Yu was extremely anxious at the moment. Hu Yu knew that although the Insect King had temporarily stopped advancing, it would recover soon. Hu Yu was completely unaware of what had happened in the Insect King Swarm. The biological warriors lacked intelligence and could only passively obey humans. Even if some biological warriors discovered the situation, they would not be able to tell Hu Yu.

While Hu Yu was racking his brains about how to kill the Insect King and deal with the high-level Insect swarm, Li Shun Li Shun was already plotting to unleash a bloodbath in the Milky Way. However, Li Shun was still waiting, firstly for the Insect King to recover, and secondly for the five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization to continue to wear down their fleets. Although Li Shun had control of the Insect King, Li Shun still had some concerns about the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization. Just as Wei Kaiyuan said, if the Insect King were killed, his own power would be instantly lost.

Li Shun Li Shun was getting impatient. After some planning with Wei Kaiyuan, they quickly came up with a plan. However, this time Li Shun's target was not Hu Yu, but the Far Watcher Civilization, or more precisely, several Small Star Sector Civilization led by the Far Watcher Civilization. Li Shun decided to first give the Milky Way a small blow, and also to investigate the details of these civilizations.

Although the Far Watcher Civilization Far Watcher Civilization moved into the Alliance Space, it later had to mobilize some of its warships to the three-dimensional universe to cultivate lower-level civilizations. However, the main body of the civilization remained in the Alliance Space. Li Shun's target was the area of civilization cultivation under the responsibility of the Far Watcher Civilization, where there were 400,000 Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization.

However, in Li Shun's eyes, this was just a huge piece of meat worth 400,000 pieces. There was no fleet or defense system, because the warships were sent to the Neutron Star Defense Line to assemble as soon as they were built. Once the number reached a certain level, they would be sent to the battlefield to fight against the swarm.

Li Shun dared not attack Hu Yu's base. Although he knew long ago that Hu Yu had settled in the Solar System, and even knew the planets where Li Shun Hu Yu often stayed, Li Shun also knew that Hu Yu valued his people more than his own life. Even if the fleet was fighting on the defensive line, Hu Yu would leave enough reserve forces to protect the people.

Li Shun member of the insectoid race, doesn't want to expose himself yet. Once this is exposed, it must be dealt with decisively, otherwise he won't be able to withstand the combined forces of all civilizations. His previous deal with the insectoids had already aroused public outrage, but at that time, his strength was weak, and he was hiding in the Insect Zone, which prevented him from suffering annihilation.

The current strength has not yet reached its peak, and it is not the time to expose it. However, the 300 billion warships built in the Insect Zone and the 300 billion warships built in the Number Two Base have become useless. These 600 billion warships are all Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, including 50,000 four-dimensional warships. Although they have been modified to have the strength of some Great Star Region Civilization fleets, Li Shun no longer takes this force seriously.
