The superheroes, covered in dust and grime, finally came to their senses. They then saw that the massive space created by the impact was completely engulfed by the Zerg, forming a Zerg ball several hundred kilometers in diameter. More Zerg continued to pour out of the giant spatial gate.
The sight of the Zerg Emperor summoning a massive horde of insects startled the superheroes.
This guy actually had such a move! The group of superheroes felt incredibly lucky. If the Zerg Emperor had used this move earlier, they would all have been doomed.
In reality, this ability was not inherent to the Zerg Emperor itself, but rather a power it could wield only through the Cosmic Control Rod, a treasure from the Negative Zone.
The Zerg Emperor itself was just an ordinary Zerg from the Negative Zone. It was only after obtaining the Cosmic Control Rod that its abilities continuously grew, granting it a long lifespan and the fastest evolution speed.
Similarly, the Zerg Emperor had always kept this treasure deeply hidden, almost never bringing it out. One reason was that it had been continuously using the Cosmic Control Rod to accelerate its evolution and extend its lifespan, not wanting to expend energy on other matters.
After all, that energy, to some extent, was its lifespan! Although this insect had lived for an unknown number of years, it still possessed an extremely strong will to survive, unwilling to waste even a second of its life.
Otherwise, this Cosmic Control Rod was said to be the 'Heart of the Negative Zone Universe'! Although it would undoubtedly be significantly weakened in a different universe, its basic ability to control matter and energy remained. It could be fully understood as a crippled version of the Infinity Gauntlet. If it could expend enough energy, the superheroes on Earth truly wouldn't be able to withstand it.
It was truly thanks to this incredibly stingy Zerg Emperor that they had been able to fight until now.
Just then, in the center of the colossal Zerg ball formed by countless Zerg, faint wisps of black energy emanated. Any Zerg that came into contact with the black energy instantly vanished without a trace.
A moment later, the black energy completely disappeared, revealing Shin's figure.
"Actually, the Zerg are quite good. They have strong vitality but weak spiritual power. Under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, they are perfect targets for providing chakra."
A smile appeared on Shin's face. He had also planted a Divine Tree in the dark dimension and simultaneously cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi jutsu. Now he discovered the advantages of the Zerg; they were simply the best chakra batteries.
Those hundreds, even thousands of billions of Zerg just now, compared to the same number of humans, could provide thousands, even tens of thousands of times more chakra!
This was, of course, because the Zerg stationed here, summoned by the Zerg Emperor, belonged to the most elite of the Zerg. But even ordinary Zerg, if squeezed, could provide at least tens to hundreds of times more chakra energy than an ordinary person.
As for quantity, that was an entire Negative Zone! The size of the Negative Zone was not much smaller than a normal universe, at most, resources were scarce due to the Zerg's rampage. But precisely because of this, the number of Zerg could be said to be completely overflowing! It was tens of thousands of times more than all the races in the current universe combined!
The chakra fruits Shin cultivated in the DC movie world were plentiful, right? If all the Zerg were hung on them, the chakra obtained would increase by at least a hundred million times!
At this moment, Shin's expression towards the Zerg Emperor had changed. Why hadn't he thought of this before? These guys were simply the best fertilizer for the Divine Tree!
"Where's Galactus? What did you do with him?" The Zerg Emperor looked around. It had no particular feelings about the Zerg killed by Shin, after all, the Zerg's greatest asset was their numbers.
But the disappearance of Galactus was something the Zerg Emperor couldn't ignore. After all, the primordial cosmic energy converted from Galactus was the only energy it used to charge the Cosmic Control Rod in its hand!
At this moment, the Annihilation Wave's Zerg Emperor could no longer afford to be stingy with the energy of its Cosmic Control Rod. With a wave of its hand, a terrifying beam of light shot towards Shin.
Shin felt his scalp tingle! He wanted to dodge, but the beam, almost as if it had jumped through space-time, struck him.
With a loud bang, his biological magnetic field didn't even defend for 0.001 nanoseconds before it was shattered by the energy wave. Shin's original steel body also seemed as fragile as ordinary flesh, and he was completely torn apart by the light speed in an instant.
With a gush, Shin violently coughed up a mouthful of blood. A large hole was opened in his chest, and even his heart was completely vaporized. Fortunately, he wasn't a pure Superman, and still possessed the power of cosmic energy-level chakra. His body's regeneration ability was in no way inferior to the Otsutsuki clan, which was why he wasn't instantly defeated.
The Zerg Emperor was even more startled! With that attack just now, the Zerg Emperor had intended to instantly kill that guy. And the Cosmic Control Rod, which directly responded to its expectation, almost depleted 1% of its energy!
It might not sound like much, but in reality, even if the Zerg Emperor were to create an entire pocket universe, the energy consumed would only be a negligible one hundred-thousandth!
In other words, the energy from that single move could almost create 1000 pocket universes! What surprised the Zerg Emperor even more was that the guy in front of him, despite appearing heavily wounded, was still not dead! This was the first time it had seen someone that the Cosmic Control Rod couldn't instantly kill.
At this moment, the Zerg Emperor, vaguely feeling fear, no longer cared about anything else. The strongest life it had ever seen in its life was an incomplete Galactus, and compared to Shin, who was several times stronger than a peak ordinary comic book Superman, that was still a long way off.
If it hadn't gotten the first strike just now, it might have been killed before it even had a chance to use the Cosmic Control Rod!
Pointing the Cosmic Control Rod, which resembled a rolling pin, another beam of energy instantly pulverized Shin!
At the same time, the powerful force of the Cosmic Control Rod enveloped its entire body, instantly elevating the Zerg Emperor's combat power by several levels. Its raw strength now approached the level of a cosmic deity.
Doing so would continuously consume the power of the Cosmic Control Rod, but it was far better than being instantly killed when caught off guard. After the lesson from Shin just now, the Zerg Emperor dared not underestimate those superheroes in the slightest. It was preparing to go all out now and directly sweep away all enemies.
"Bastard! Die!"
It had to be admitted that this Zerg Emperor was quite prescient. Seeing Shin pulverized by a beam of light, Wanda predictably went berserk.
