While Star Alliance was making a killing, Jiang Wang's side also reaped considerable profits.

In Jiang Wang's hands, the ferocious and brutal Zerg were like a celestial being leaping incredibly high.

She only showed one long, black-stockinged leg, and she was so alluring that even the demon's own mother wouldn't recognize her.

This is truly an extreme example of entrapment.

Using themselves as bait, they allowed the Zerg to almost completely clear out the surrounding demons and ruins.

But it sounds very easy to say that.

But the actual difficulties in clearing out the periphery are far greater than they seem.

After all, the capital city, as the last trump card of a nation, has the largest area and the largest population.

The environment near the capital is also very complex.

The large amount of planetary debris prevented the Zerg warships from providing effective support.

Not only that.

Due to the intense battles that once took place near the capital, many spaces and certain areas now have undetectable spatial turbulence.

This hidden danger caused many Zerg to inexplicably lose contact.

Even the entire fleet was annihilated in an instant.

Under such circumstances, the Zerg suffered considerable losses.

However, the Zerg have no shortage of numbers in the Abyss Zone. With their massive numbers and increasingly sophisticated tactics and teamwork, the Zerg still managed to take over the outer areas of the capital.

They also conquered a large number of ruins during this period.

Yes, it means to conquer.

Because not all ruins are like the Deep Base, which was invaded by the Abyss from the outside and caused the ruins to fall, and some even have time to commit suicide.

When the Zerg contributed the outer areas, many ruins remained undamaged on the outside, but inside they were in complete disarray. Some contained large numbers of demons, while others were demons that had been fought to the point that only one remained.

It can still handle a large number of demonic insectoids.

The one with only one demon seed left was the one that made Jiang Wangzei feel really bad.

Powerful individuals remain a difficult threat to the Zerg to deal with.

But it's not bad; at least it's difficult to handle now, rather than impossible.

The strength of the Diamond Peak faction did indeed cost the Zerg a considerable price.

But it was disposed of anyway.

...

At this moment, Jiang Wang was browsing through various materials he had collected from the ruins.

He wanted to see why so many demonic seeds appeared in the ruins, some of which resembled the Gu worms his mother used to refine...

[August 3rd, Abyss Calendar Year 35: Base 87 is operating normally. The Void Engine is functioning as planned, and everyone's emotions are within reasonable limits.]

[August 4th, Abyss Calendar Year 35: Base 87 is operating normally...]

[August 5th, Abyss Calendar Year 35: ...]

...

[October 2nd, Abyss Calendar Year 40: Ruler Greens forcibly implanted brain-computer interfaces in everyone. Number 87 experienced a surge of negative emotions, which Greens brutally suppressed, resulting in 1342 deaths and injuries.]

...

[October 3, Year 40 of the Abyss Calendar: Everyone received brain-computer interface implants.]

...

[May 6th, Abyss Calendar 332: Due to equipment malfunction, Abyssal energy entered...]

...

From this diary, Jiang Wang learned most of the details of the No. 87 ruins.

The emotional threshold here is a device specifically designed to detect all the people in the ruins.

The power of the abyss is all-pervasive.

Even though the ruins physically isolated everything, protecting the people of all nations.

But ruins cannot shut out the windows of the soul.

This window that cannot be closed could allow the abyss to sneak in.

According to the records of the world, the Abyss back then was not like it is now. It required the invasion of demonic energy or the defeat and injury of a demonic seed to infect you and turn you into the Abyss.

Although this abyss is also very strong, it is incomparable to the abyss of the World of Warcraft era.

The abyss of the world is sometimes revealed simply because you glanced at it.

The seeds of an abyss have already been planted in your heart.

Even negative or positive emotions that are too sad or desperate can attract the attention of the abyss.

Therefore, the people in the ruins at that time all carried devices to detect their emotions.

This ensures the safety of the ruins, and also the safety of everyone.

Therefore, when the ruins of the world were first built, various factors were taken into consideration, and even drugs or devices to suppress emotions were prepared.

But even so.

Many ruins were breached from within by the abyss.

There are some equipment-related or non-emotional factors involved, as well as some human factors.

Because humans are an uncertain species, even though we all have the same structure and the same brain, why would anyone think that way?

And over a long period of time, such a probability will be infinitely increased, and there will always be some traitors and fools who always think they are special.

Then, unsurprisingly, something unexpected happened.

Many bases disappeared in this way.

Before they could even suppress it, the power of the abyss had already entered.

When Jiang Wang was investigating why this No. 87 only had one demon seed, he discovered...

This site is somewhat unusual because it has been operating normally for nearly three hundred years.

This is too long compared to other ruins.

But after careful examination, Jiang Wang discovered the reason.

The main reason for this is the brain-computer interface that Geslin implanted in the ruins during their early stages...

And it bloodily suppressed all unstable factors.

He oppressed the people through brainwashing or other means, numbing them and turning them into mindless zombies.

Furthermore, he was extremely ruthless.

If their emotions exceed a certain threshold multiple times, they will be executed.

However, this was done to prevent such executions from causing fear in others.

He also set up a system where, after the brain-computer interface kills the host, it takes over the body.

Used for monitoring and manipulation, the owner of this body gradually and deliberately faded from everyone's sight.

This is merely a brain-computer interface function.

This method completely deprives people of their freedom and rights as human beings.

But it must be said that this method is indeed effective. At least the ruins he was in lasted for nearly three hundred years, and it was only discovered by the Abyss because of a problem with the equipment.

And this 300-year operating time is the longest of all the ruins.

But the price was that the people in his ruins were treated like pigs and dogs.

Later on, the people living in the ruins even believed that the ruins were the entire world.

Under captivity and deliberate guidance, the people have no hobbies, no ideas, and no soul.

Their lives consisted of nothing but existing.

Moreover, in order to prolong his own life, Greens conducted numerous large-scale psychological and behavioral experiments on these individuals.

...

Jiang Wang was deeply shocked by the many large-scale social experiments conducted in this post-apocalyptic setting.

Because of Greens' various experiments and actions, none of the people in their base had any strong evil intentions after being invaded by the Abyss; at most, they were bloodthirsty.

And finally, through mechanical records within the ruins.

Jiang Wang learned that the largest demon seed in the 87th race, the one who caused the Zerg a lot of trouble, was the so-called ruler, Grace.

As the most mentally, malice-filled, and powerful demon, he slaughtered all the other demons and devoured all the demonic energy.

Jiang Wang frowned slightly at this result.

'Does this mean that if humans are domesticated, or have weak emotional abilities, their powers will be relatively weaker after becoming demons?'

Jiang Wang didn't know the answer, but the next relic was in stark contrast to No. 87.
