"What's this?"
Tesla was stunned when she saw the bug that Fang Zheng had thrown out. But before she could say anything, Fang Zheng had already thrown the bug right in the center of the command center. Then she saw the bug suddenly swell up like a balloon, and in an instant it formed a cocoon that was two people tall.
"What the hell is this?!"
Seeing this scene, Kiana screamed and stepped back. Others looked at this strange existence that was beating like a heart in surprise, feeling a little nervous.
"Okay, don't worry so much."
Fang Zheng also waved his hand at this time.
"This is our Tiandao Palace's ground force...Okay, I admit they don't look very good, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they are top-notch."
As if to verify Fang Zheng's words, the huge cocoon burst with a "pop" and turned into a strange, organ-like building. Then, the girls saw larvae crawling out from under this strange thing. At the same time, deep red, rotten meat-like fungal blankets began to spread everywhere, quickly covering the ground of the base of the man in the sky in front of them and extending in all directions.
Then, the larvae began to change, and they quickly turned into eggs. When the eggs cracked again, the original larvae had transformed into monsters with ferocious claws. Under the gaze of the girls, these monsters attacked from all sides, frantically gnawing and biting everything they could see in front of them.
Whether it was steel, metal, or even the bodies of people in the sky, they were all devoured by these strange insects and dragged away to become nutrients for the insect nest. The next moment, as another batch of insect eggs hatched, springtails flew out of them, making fierce and terrifying roars, and then rushed out directly, starting a new round of war.
That was a scene that the girls could never imagine.
Insects hatched one after another, forming an endless sea of insects. They spread in all directions along the passages of the base like a flood. The soldiers and army of the people in heaven had almost no ability to fight back in front of the swarm of insects. They could not even block it and would be completely submerged and swallowed by the tide of the swarm of insects, and then disappear in the endless swarm of insects.
When the girls walked out of the command center, went to the balcony and looked down, this was the scene they saw.
"hiss……"
Seeing this scene, the girls all looked pale and gasped. It was not that they had never experienced battles before, and the strength of the Honkai Beasts was not much weaker than that of the insect swarms. But even the Honkai Beasts did not have the overwhelming and seemingly endless terrifying power of the insect swarms.
"I say...are you really a human?"
Tesla swallowed, turned his head, and stared at Fang Zheng uneasily, while the latter spread his hands.
"Of course I am human, and I am on the side of humanity. What's the problem?"
“No, this…”
"Okay, don't be so nervous."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, and then the girls saw a springtail snorted and walked to Fang Zheng's side, leaning its head over like a puppy and rubbing his hand. Fang Zheng also touched the springtail's head, and then looked at the girls.
"You guys want to try it too?"
“——!!!”
Kiana hid behind Mei Raiden, shaking her head like a rattle, and Mei Raiden was also pale. Although Bronya's expression did not change on the surface, when the golden eyes of the hopper stared at her, Bronya's breathing became rapid instantly.
"All right."
Looking at the girls' reactions, Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly.
"I admit that these little guys don't look very good, but you can't judge an insect by its appearance. They are still very well-behaved..."
"Clever?"
Hearing this, Theresa silently complained, she raised her head and looked down - she saw in a passage not far away, dozens of alien warriors were rushing towards the insect swarm, trying to stop them. These monsters looked similar to humans, but they had four arms, wore a gray cloak, and held two bright red swords in their hands.
There are also such monsters in the command center. Theresa has fought with them before and knows that these monsters are not easy to deal with.
However, at this moment, facing the obstruction of these monsters, the swarms of insects had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, they sped up and rushed towards the soldiers of the man in the sky.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Heavenly Man also raised their arms and swung their swords at the insect swarm in front of them. However, the insects completely ignored their attacks and bit their arms directly. Then another insect leaped up and hit the soldier of the Heavenly Man, knocking him to the ground. Then, dozens of insects rushed forward and tore their enemies into pieces in an instant.
"……Clever?"
"Well, provided you don't become their enemy."
Fang Zheng spread his hands and curled his lips helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, the swarm looked so ugly. Although the Honkai beasts were quite strong individually, at least they didn't look ugly. To put it in a nice way, their streamlined futuristic-style bodies and colors looked pretty.
As the saying goes, it's not that you don't know the goods, it's that you compare the goods. Compared with the cruelty and terror of the Zerg, the Honkai Beast is really a harmless little white rabbit.
Even Tesla was silent at this time. Even Anti-Entropy had the courage to fight against the Honkai Beast, but seeing so many terrifying creatures that looked like devils crawling out of hell rushing towards them like a tide, Tesla felt that no matter what army it was on Earth, just seeing this scene was enough to scare them to death.
"Can you control them?"
To be on the safe side, Theresa had to ask. In her opinion, these insect swarms were much more terrifying than the Herrscher. After all, there was only one Herrscher.
But these bugs...
"boom--!!!"
Theresa looked up and saw the dark dragons opening their mouths and spewing flames at the Skyman's troops on the ground. Everything was burned to ashes under the scorching flames. She had only seen such power in the dragons around the Herrscher of the Sky, but there was only one such dragon after all.
And here are a group of them... at least hundreds of them.
Not only that, what frightened Theresa the most was the reproduction speed of these insects.
From the time she saw Fang Zheng throwing out the larva to the time it grew into a swarm of tens of thousands of insects, it took no more than half an hour.
Half an hour!!
It only took half an hour for the swarm to reach this size. So if they were given more time, what could they achieve?
"Of course. If they lose control, with the speed of the Zerg, it's only a matter of time before the entire galaxy is destroyed."
Fang Zheng's answer seemed very relaxed, but it was another story to Theresa and Tesla. Noticing the gazes they were looking at him, Fang Zheng waved his hand innocently.
"Don't look at me like that. Without this kind of strength, a civilization cannot dominate the universe. The power to destroy planets or galaxies is a must for high-level cosmic civilizations that travel across galaxies, and for killing people at home. When your civilization grows to that level, you will also have this ability."
“It’s hard to imagine…”
Theresa couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, while Tesla nodded with shining eyes.
"Indeed, the development of civilization is related to the expansion of the scale of war. If we humans can really spread our footprints beyond the galaxy, then whether we want it or not, we must have this level of military power to prevent internal and external threats..."
As a scientist, Tesla was extremely satisfied with this space trip. The technology displayed by the aliens and the Tiandao Palace was secondary. For Tesla, the most important thing was that he gained lessons on how to view the development of civilization from a cosmic perspective!
This is the most important thing!
You have to know that these lessons learned are the result of the blood and tears of interstellar civilizations. Just like an airplane, what should you pay attention to every time you fly, why you should do this, and why you should not do that. These regulations are not something that the framers came up with on a whim, but are the blood and tears lessons learned after hundreds of air crashes and the loss of hundreds or even more lives.
If Fang Zheng hadn't brought them to see these things, if they hadn't experienced them for themselves, then in the future, if humans wanted to leave the Earth, they would really only be able to rely on science fiction novels and everyone's imaginations to slowly cross the river by feeling the stones.
But this is obviously a very difficult thing to do. If you take a wrong step, it will not be like a plane crash where hundreds of lives are lost. It is very likely that the civilization of this alien will be completely destroyed in the universe... This is the most difficult thing to accept.
Just as Tesla was thinking about these questions, suddenly, Kiana, who had returned to the command center, shouted.
"Hey, come over here and take a look, isn't this Ji Zi?"
"Why?"
Hearing her friend's name, Theresa hurried back to the command center. Then she saw an image of a young girl with bright red hair tied in a ponytail and full of vigor appeared on the screen in front of her. Theresa recognized it at a glance. This person was none other than her good friend, Himeko Muryota!
"Wait, why is Himeko here?"
"What does it say?"
At this moment, the others were also greatly surprised and quickly turned their eyes to Fang Zheng, who glanced at the screen and then laughed.
"Okay, don't worry too much. This is the target of the next action of the people in the sky."
"You mean, they're going to attack Himeko? Why?"
Theresa frowned and her expression suddenly became serious, while Fang Zheng shook his head.
"Although it's Himeko, she's not the Muliangta Himeko we know."
"…What does this mean?"
"Hmm...it's simple."
Fang Zheng reached out his hand again and pointed at the screen.
"These people from outer space seem to have discovered the existence of parallel worlds, so they also began to desire to harvest Houkai energy from parallel worlds. Miss Himeko is a resident of one of the parallel worlds, or the world bubble. She seems to be the leader of that world... That's why she is being targeted by the people from outer space."
"Have the people in heaven mastered the ability to go to the World Bubble to harvest?"
Tesla was also surprised when he heard this, but Fang Zheng laughed.
"That's about right. Their technology is also improving. Hmm... Very interesting. The technology tree of this Celestial Being seems to be entirely centered around capturing and using Honkai energy."
“So, is there any technology there that we can use?”
Tesla's eyes lit up again, but Fang Zheng shrugged.
"This is a military outpost, Ms. Tesla. Would you, Anti-Entropy, place important technical information in a military fortress?"
"...That's true. What should we do? Where can we find these technologies?"
In any case, the technology to fight against the collapse is the most important, which is why Theresa and Tesla came here. It's just a military fortress. Destroying it is just to defeat the intention of the people in the sky to attack the earth, but they still didn't get what they wanted.
"Is that even a question?"
Facing Theresa's question, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and turned to look out into the deep space.
"Of course, we went straight to their house and robbed them."
