Chapter 469 Absorbing the essence of the Insect King, Irina upgrades

"Ah!"

The screams of the Zerg Queen echoed in the Death Swamp. Its body quickly disintegrated under Irina's energy attack, turning into countless tiny points of light that dissipated into the air.

However, just as it was about to disappear completely, a gleam of light flashed in Irina's eyes.

"Wait."

She whispered to herself, and her fingers slightly hooked.

A fine thread of energy shot out from her fingertips, accurately capturing a glimmer of light at the core of the Zerg Queen.

That was the most core gene sequence of the Zerg Queen, containing all its evolutionary information and racial characteristics.

Irina took this strand of gene core into her palm, and a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Although you low-level Zerg are disgusting, your genes do have some merits."

She whispered, and then integrated this strand of gene core into her body.

In an instant, Irina felt a brand new power surging in her body.

Her insect wings trembled slightly, and the patterns on the surface became more complex and profound.

The light flashing at the tip of her tentacles became brighter, and her perception ability was further improved.

"Not bad."

Irina felt the changes in her body, and her mouth corners slightly raised, "This way, my gene sequence will be more perfect."

She closed her eyes and carefully felt the changes brought about by the newly integrated genes.

The core gene of the Zerg Queen not only enhanced her physical ability, but also gave her some new characteristics.

For example, she can now absorb cosmic energy more efficiently, and can even control low-level Zerg to a certain extent.

"Interesting."

Irina said softly, "It seems that this operation has gained a lot."

She spread her insect wings and flew into the air with a light flap.

The thick fog of the Death Swamp lingered around her, but it could not block her sight.

Irina's eyes swept across the swamp below, and after confirming that there were no fish that slipped through the net, she prepared to return to the battleship.

However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt a weak energy fluctuation coming from the depths of the swamp.

Irina frowned slightly and quickly flew towards the source of the energy fluctuation.

When she came to the depths of the swamp, she found that there was a huge underground cave hidden here.

The entrance of the cave was covered by dense vegetation. If it weren't for her keen perception, she would not have found it at all.

Irina landed at the entrance of the cave and walked in vigilantly.

The interior of the cave was very spacious, and the walls were covered with glowing moss, providing a faint light for the dark space.

As she went deeper into the cave, the energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger.

Finally, in the deepest part of the cave, Irina saw a shocking scene.

There stood a huge Zerg mother nest. Although it looked abandoned for a long time, it still emitted powerful energy fluctuations.

What was even more surprising was that there were countless insect eggs scattered around the mother nest, some of which were still trembling slightly, as if they could hatch at any time.

A cold light flashed in Irina's eyes: "It seems that this is the real nest of the Zerg."

She quickly contacted Lei Dong and Luo Feng and informed them of the situation here.

Then, she began to carefully examine the abandoned mother nest, hoping to find more valuable information.

At this moment, Irina suddenly felt a strong mental fluctuation coming from the depths of the mother nest.

Her body tensed up instantly, and she looked vigilantly in the direction where the wave came from.

"Who is there?"

She asked coldly.

A low and ancient voice echoed in the cave: "Finally. Someone is here."

Irina's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The owner of this voice is definitely not simple.

"Who are you?"

She asked again, and prepared for battle.

The voice chuckled.

"Who am I? This question is very interesting. Perhaps, you can call me the 'Original Mother Queen'."

Irina's heart was shocked. She didn't expect to meet the legendary existence here.

But she quickly calmed down, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"The original mother queen? Interesting. It seems that my gains today are much greater than I thought."

She clenched the energy sword in her hand, ready to meet this unexpected challenge.

No matter who the other party is, she has the confidence to defeat it and gain more valuable things from it.

"This"

Irina's breathing stagnated slightly.

The spiritual pressure from the depths of the cave enveloped her whole body like a substance. The knuckles of her fingers holding the energy sword turned white, but beads of sweat oozed from her palms.

This is the most honest reaction of the body when facing extreme danger.

The voice of the ancient queen reflected a strange echo on the rock wall, and the entire abandoned mother nest suddenly began to pulsate.

Dark red blood vessels spread along the wall, swallowing up all the glowing moss.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"Three hundred and sixty million stellar cycles."

Twelve pairs of scarlet compound eyes lit up in the depths of the mother nest, and each pupil reflected the starry sky of different dimensions. "You are the third queen who dares to look directly at the origin."

The ground suddenly cracked, and countless tentacles wrapped in mucus broke out of the ground.

Irina flapped her wings and retreated quickly. The energy sword drew a dazzling arc in the air, but the cut-off tentacle section gushed out silver-blue liquid metal.

Those metals turned into micro-mechanical insects as soon as they landed, flapping their wings and making high-frequency buzzing sounds.

"A body made of star core?"

Irina's pupils shrank into needle-like shapes, and the newly fused gene chain suddenly exploded a torrent of information in the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the war form used by the ancient Zerg to colonize neutron stars.

She turned her wrist suddenly, and the energy sword split into 360 diamond-shaped chips, forming a honeycomb defense matrix in front of her.

The moment tens of thousands of mechanical insects hit the matrix, Irina suddenly felt a needle-like pain in the back of her neck.

Three transparent silk threads penetrated the defense at some point and were trying to pierce her nerve center.

The newly acquired control gene spontaneously activated, and her tentacles suddenly burst into purple light, invading the other party's consciousness along the silk thread in the opposite direction.

The wills of the two queens collided at the quantum level.

Irina's consciousness was dragged into the abyss of memory, and she saw hundreds of millions of insect nests floating in the boiling nebula.

A certain existence beyond cognition is using gravitational strings to pluck galaxies and transform the entire Milky Way into an insect nest matrix.

And the ancient queen in front of her was actually a seed thrown by that existence.

"Did you see it?"

The ancient queen's voice carried the gravity of a collapsing star, "Your so-called perfect evolution is nothing more than a castle built by ants on the beach."

Irina's insect wings suddenly spread to the extreme, and the projection of the gene spiral emerged on each wing membrane.

She visualized the gene chain obtained from the Zerg Queen into a golden chain and stabbed it into the other party's consciousness.

"Then let me see how much of the star sea the castle on the beach can swallow!"

The mother nest in reality suddenly trembled violently.

Irina opened her eyes and found that her scales were quantized, and every cell was frantically analyzing the structure of the ancient queen.

The severed tentacles suddenly turned around and wrapped around the ancient queen's body layer by layer.

"Impossible! You can rewrite the star core code"

Twelve pairs of compound eyes burst at the same time, revealing the black singularity beating inside.

The moment Irina's tentacles pierced the singularity, a vast torrent of interstellar coordinates poured into her mind-that was the star map that the ancient queen had colonized for millions of years.

At the moment when the energy sword regrouped, Irina heard the thundering communication: "A quasar-level energy reaction has been detected! Retreat immediately!"

The sword tip had already pierced into the core of the singularity.

The entire Death Swamp began to upgrade in absolute silence, and the mud in the swamp turned into flowing light particles.

Irina saw her reflection raising the sword at the same time in countless parallel time and space, and each figure was performing a different killing trajectory.

When the sword tip finally fell, she chose to converge all possibilities into the only reality - retaining the entropy value zeroing algorithm of the core singularity.

"I accept your sea of ​​stars."

Irina embedded the core that collapsed into a crystal shape into her forehead, and the insect wings spread out behind her had turned into a nebula vortex.

In the ruins of the mother nest, thousands of mechanical insects suddenly turned around and formed a light staircase leading to the starry sky under her feet. (End of this chapter)
