Chapter 258: Consciousness Search
Anno watched as Dennis left the laboratory and walked into a long corridor.
After walking along the pure white corridor for a while, he stopped in front of a wall, which turned transparent, revealing the room inside.
This room is exactly the same as the one Anno woke up in at the beginning, and inside the room is Sital.
Dennis stared at the little male insect king inside with a dark gaze. "Let me see what makes you different."
He placed his hand on the glass wall and used his ability.
Sital sat cross-legged on the bed with his back to Dennis.
Anuo saw his long, dark blue hair cascading down his back, sitting there quietly as if he hadn't been injured, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But what does Dennis want to do to him?
She had previously learned about Dennis's abilities from Karina; he could invade people's consciousness and control their thoughts.
Useless skills.
Mind control is ineffective even on the lowest-ranking Zerg kin.
The Zerg consciousness is not singular, but rather connected to the entire vast Zerg population.
Any consciousness that does not belong to the Zerg and enters their consciousness network will be completely devoured by the Zerg consciousness.
Dennis was thankful that he had isolated and blocked the Zerg's consciousness network; otherwise, if Dennis had dared to invade the consciousness, he would have turned Dennis into an idiot.
From the spark of the North River system to their theft of their own core, and now their capture of her and Sitar, what do they want to do with their core?
She had just seen many mature bodies in the petri dishes in the laboratory. Judging from their appearance, they should be from the Northern River Star. The petri dishes were connected to the Zerg's energy stones.
Anno gradually realized that Dennis wanted to turn the Northern River system into a second insectoid system.
Everything he did was imitating the Zerg, trying to follow the Zerg's path to make the Northern River People stronger.
Anno didn't understand; he was probably obsessed.
After seeing her ancestors' memories in the temple, she understood that every civilization in the universe laid its foundation in its most primitive time. Whatever form it evolved into in the future, it grew on that foundation. Even if genes mutated over millions of years, the mutations were still on the original genes.
Each race should seek its own path of evolution based on its own civilization, rather than imitating other races.
Unless, like the Zerg, they directly mark and transform other races, this is actually just putting Zerg genes into the bodies of other races. Zerg genes are domineering and devour other genes and pass them on. There is no essential change. They are still Zerg and no new race is produced by the combination.
Any crooked or unethical path will be taught a lesson by your genes.
Sital sensed Dennis's ability to invade his consciousness and opened his eyes.
He knew what Dennis wanted to do, but he didn't care.
He gets nothing from him.
He stayed here to let these people gradually reveal their weaknesses and find the core fragment of Anunu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Brightman take them away.
Brightman possesses the core essence of Anuno, but not any fragments; they have hidden the fragments of Anuno's core.
He resisted the urge to crush Dennis's consciousness, allowing his abilities to search within it.
When Dennis used his ability, Sitar caught a familiar scent.
His eyes flickered slightly; it was the energy Anunu had attached to Dennis.
Anunu is worried about him.
A slight smile played on his lips as he moved his fingers, coating Anunu's energy with a wisp of energy in response.
During this time, Seville was out searching for Anunu's core fragments. He also coaxed Anunu every day to use his primal energy to fill the void in her core, and had long since covered her core with a thick layer of defense, so no one could hurt her.
After a long pause, Dennis hesitantly withdrew his power.
He invaded Sitar's consciousness and looked at his memories, which were mostly about him studying in the Zerg palace or going outside the palace, and were all unimportant things.
Occasionally, he could catch a fleeting glimpse of Aloo in Sitar's memories, but even then, it was always blurry.
He knew that as the queen insect of the insect race, the little male insect king must possess some special abilities. He invaded his consciousness to find out what those abilities were and how he was born.
But no matter how many times he looked at it, it was all the same everyday stuff, which was of no use to him.
If the young male insect king has a high level of consciousness defense, then why are the two high-ranking insect relatives he imprisoned also the same?
He had already used his abilities on those two high-ranking relatives, and what he saw were just some insignificant fragments of memories.
They were either on guard duty or gnawing on ore, and there was virtually no verbal communication between them.
He watched the Zerg memories like he was watching a silent film; they were all a bunch of mute people!
Life is incredibly dull and boring.
He knew that the Zerg could communicate through consciousness, just like ants transmit information through consciousness. Dealing with their consciousness network was not difficult; all he had to do was cut off and isolate their consciousness signals.
He and his research team have always believed that the Zerg's consciousness network is actually a major weakness, just like a network system, which will be completely paralyzed once infected by a virus.
This is also the method he will soon use to deal with the Zerg: an attack on their consciousness network. Once he controls their consciousness network, he will be able to control the entire Zerg.
No creature with consciousness can escape his abilities, and he has no doubt that the memories of those two Zerg are false.
The Zerg's social structure inherently creates a situation where only the Overlords possess independent thought, while other Zerg species revolve around the Overlords for survival.
As he understood it, these Zerg servants were like machines, controlled by the consciousness of the Overlord, only obeying orders and having no personal preferences or lives.
This is also why the Zerg are so powerful; they are all powerful humanoid machines without emotions.
Dennis stared at Sitar's retreating figure with a dark look in his eyes. In a few days, once the last batch of enhanced humans was completed, he would be able to control these two little queen insects, take control of the Zerg, and then deal with that bunch of useless trash from the Interstellar Alliance.
Thinking this, the red veins in Dennis's gray eyes deepened, and red lines spread from his body to his neck.
"leader......"
A subordinate saw his condition and exclaimed in surprise.
Dennis gave him a cold glance, took out a vial of medicine from his pocket, and injected it into his neck. The red marks immediately faded.
"We've tried to minimize the side effects of TG35.0, but we still can't eliminate them completely," a doctor said to Dennis while organizing data.
The TG3 Dennis is using now is different from the TG3 that circulated on the black market in the past. It has been secretly upgraded five times, and its effects are much stronger than the original version of TG3. Its potency is also much more domineering. The side effects no longer turn people into corrupted beings, but it still affects their mental state.
Dennis's ability is mind manipulation; his mental strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. As long as he is controlled with medication, he will not be affected by the side effects.
Anno felt somewhat relieved after receiving an energy response from Sital.
However, we are still unable to contact Sitar. The shielding magnetic field of this base is even stronger than that on the battlefield before. Presumably, the shielding technology has been upgraded again, and the area where it is concentrated is relatively small, which is why the shielding is so powerful.
She wasn't worried about Dennis's abilities; in fact, she felt it was a potential breakthrough they could use to escape.
Denise must believe that he has the ability to control them, so she'll let him "control" them.
Anno's mind raced, trying to figure out how to fool Dennis and Brightman into taking him away.
"Your Highness."
Diane's voice came from the bathroom doorway. She had been soaking in the bathroom for almost an hour, and Diane was a little worried.
Anno's thoughts were pulled back, and she picked up the bathrobe next to her and put it on.
Brightman seems very persistent with her, so her breakthrough point lies with Brightman.
"Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything today, so I've prepared some more for you."
When Anno came out of the bathroom, she saw that Dain had prepared a new table of food for her.
She did not feel hungry; the energy in her body could keep her in good condition for several days.
She used to eat every day because she liked the food and was used to three meals a day.
Now she has to pretend she wants to eat even if she doesn't want to, because there are cameras in the room and she knows someone is watching her.
Once she's calmed down, Brightman will definitely come to see her.
