Chapter 246: StarCraft? Insect Swarm Star System and spacefaring Swarm!
Perhaps no one could have imagined that underneath her kimono, on her body without underwear, there were still traces of her recent self-release, and feelings that were difficult for her to articulate. That was the source of her guilt. Especially when facing Ren. The object of her fantasy stood before her, and her daughter was even behind her.
That sense of self-disgust spread throughout her body, making her instinctively want to escape. But now was, after all, the moment of unavoidable confrontation. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and asked, "What do we need to do now?"
The others also looked towards Ren. Clearly, Ren was the backbone of the group. Ren pinched his chin, looked around, and shook his head, "There's too little information about the Doomsday Game for now; it seems we only have this round table." A large round table was placed in the center of the room. This area was connected to everyone's room, and a seat corresponded to the front of each person's door.
"Let's first sit according to the seats corresponding to each room." With Ren's instruction, everyone immediately took action.
The moment everyone was seated, a rotating holographic image appeared in the very center of the round table. The image was a scroll of the starry sky. In the depths of the universe, there was a rotating galaxy. It attracted their gaze with its unique beauty and mystery.
This holographic galaxy was composed of countless stars, planets, nebulae, and black holes. They rotated in endless space according to certain laws, forming a grand and complex celestial system. The Matriarch and the others saw a massive black hole at the center of the galaxy. Its mass was so great that even light could not escape its powerful gravity.
Around the black hole were rings upon rings of stars. They orbited the black hole, forming a bright halo. The light from these stars illuminated the entire galaxy, making it shine brightly in the universe. In this rotating galaxy, there were also many planets and satellites. Some orbited stars, while others floated freely between stars.
The edge of the galaxy was a nebula. They were composed of dust and gas, varying in color—red, blue, yellow… Under the illumination of light, the nebulae shimmered with enchanting brilliance, like a rainbow in the sky. The matter in the nebulae continuously gathered under the influence of gravity. New stars and planets might form, or new black holes might emerge.
This rotating galaxy was like a never-ending clock, with every part moving at its own rhythm. The burning of stars, the rotation of planets, the changes in nebulae, the Devour of black holes, and so on. These were the life dance of the galaxy, the rhythm of the universe. The holographic display perfectly showed the grandeur of the galaxy to everyone.
However, text suddenly appeared in the image, interrupting the beautiful galaxy.
[Insect Swarm Star System: A galaxy completely infested by the spacefaring Swarm!]
As the text appeared, the image of the galaxy began to change. From a colorful starry expanse, it transformed into a gray galaxy. It began to zoom in on a portion of the area. From the galaxy, it focused on a star. Then, it zoomed in on the planet orbiting the star. Next, the planet's surface was magnified and fully displayed.
"Are those… monsters?" Mrs. Yuigahama covered her mouth, her eyes flickering.
"So many!" There were so many monsters on the planet's surface. They were densely packed together. The earth beneath them was completely covered by a layer of bizarre, pulsating, flesh-like creep. Some had sharp spines, claws, and fangs. Others had strangely shaped armor or sacs.
[spacefaring Swarm: A species that plunders the vitality of the universe.]
Next was an introduction to the spacefaring Swarm. The spacefaring Swarm was a mysterious group of creatures. Their existence transcended human understanding and imagination. In this vast and boundless universe, the spacefaring Swarm, with its unique way of life and reproductive ability, became an astonishing miracle.
The body structure of the spacefaring Swarm was extremely complex. Their size could range from tiny to enormous, and their forms varied. Their skin displayed vibrant colors, as if they were the twinkling stars in the night sky. The surface of the spacefaring Swarm's body was covered with countless tiny tentacles. These tentacles not only helped them perceive their surroundings but also could be used to capture food and communicate.
The lifestyle of the spacefaring Swarm was very peculiar. It did not rely on a fixed living environment but could freely traverse the universe. It could live on different planets and even survive on the surface of stars. The food sources of the spacefaring Swarm were extremely abundant. It could devour various substances; from rocks and metals to living organisms, all could become its food. This powerful digestive ability allowed the spacefaring Swarm to survive in extreme environments.
The reproduction method of the spacefaring Swarm was also very strange. It could reproduce through fission, egg-laying, or spores. During the reproduction process, the spacefaring Swarm would generate a special energy field. This energy field could transform surrounding matter into new life forms. This method of reproduction allowed the spacefaring Swarm's numbers to grow rapidly, making it 1 of the largest biological groups in the universe.
The social structure of the spacefaring Swarm was very complex. There was a strict hierarchy among them. In this hierarchy, each spacefaring Swarm had its specific role and responsibility. Some spacefaring Swarm were responsible for finding food, some for protecting territory, and others for reproducing offspring.
This high level of organization and cooperation allowed the spacefaring Swarm to survive and proliferate in the universe. However, when the number of spacefaring Swarm became too large, they might cause damage to the surrounding planets. The strong vitality and reproductive capacity of the spacefaring Swarm also made them an uncontrollable disaster in some extreme environments.
"Eek! So many bugs!" Chika recoiled, those monsters now appearing as mere bugs in her eyes. She was very afraid of bugs!
"How terrifying, has this entire galaxy been infested by such creatures?" Marin voiced a question that no one could answer. Just by reading the description, one could tell how terrifying these monsters, named spacefaring Swarm, were.
"They can eat almost anything, reproduce and grow extremely quickly, have a strict racial hierarchy, and can even cross the star sea." The Matriarch had already immersed herself in the current situation, calmly analyzing the possibilities. "If all of this is true, then infesting an entire galaxy is indeed possible."
The others' expressions turned solemn after hearing her. Because it was highly likely that their enemies this time would be these spacefaring Swarm.
Ren, however, had a strange expression. These were the spacefaring Swarm? He didn't know what to say. Because those Swarm looked especially like the Zerg from StarCraft. As the holographic screen moved, he glanced at it. Good heavens! Zerglings, Hydralisks, Roaches, Ultralisks… one couldn't say they were completely similar, only that they were identical! Aside from being covered in tentacles and having more exaggerated colors, the traces of the Zerg were completely visible.
