Fifty-one Degeneration
Therefore, 001 is an unrecognized product in the Zerg dimension.
It must be assimilated into the real world and have emotions.
In other words, 001 needs the emotional instincts that are necessary for intelligent species. Otherwise, what awaits it is annihilation. Whether 001 is willing or not, its self-awareness has already sprouted.
“It’s degenerating.”
After listening to the explanation of the hero, Xiao Yi happily discovered the key point.
“Yes, this is our chance.”
They were so caught up in their own obsessions that they had no idea that 001 was probably trying to lure them into the game.
The news that the Insect King was coming to the border in person made many female soldiers hug each other excitedly. They spontaneously knelt on one knee and prayed to the spirit tree, blessing the Insect King's team to arrive safely.
Qiao Yang hid in the corner, watching the scene with an unnecessary smile on his face.
The reason why silicon-based creatures are so powerful is that their computing power has broken through the material level and can ignore the cycle of time and space and dimensional barriers.
Some data sources come from ten thousand years ago.
This is Earth at the end of the year 3345, and humanity has a glimmer of hope. Silicon-based creatures have left Earth and never returned.
After years of hardship, humans were finally able to return to their homeland and rebuild their homes.
Everyone was immersed in the happiness of regaining what they had lost, and no one noticed that deep in the earth's crust, there were tens of thousands of silicon-based AI bodies buried, and they were collectively glowing.
They do not have cyber-mechanical outer bodies, but they possess the most sophisticated data structures in the universe and can monitor every corner of the earth.
The weapons of mass destruction that the government forces relied on flashed a red light and then quietly went out.
All ready,
Qiao Yang swaggered to the front of the welcoming team and chatted with the Insect King who was present at the front line.
"I hope you are well."
The four words with a hint of laughter were full of chilliness. Lin Tinghan and Xiao Yi's serious expressions at the same time made Qiao Yang laugh even more.
Just when everyone was puzzled by Qiao Yang's strange behavior,
He suddenly took out a dagger and used his mental power to stab Xiao Yi.
Lin Tinghan launched a counterattack completely based on instinct.
Almost in an instant, the overflowing spiritual sea was drained. Lin Tinghan could hear the sound of his heartbeat almost stopping and the thumping of bones.
He covered his chest with his hands, looking pale, and half bent over.
There was an uproar and screams from the audience.
"Where is the Insect King's spiritual power?!"
"Your Majesty! Nothing can happen to you!"
“How could this happen! Ahhhhh, what should I do?”
As everyone exclaimed,
Xiao Yi quickly kicked away Qiao Yang's knife and used his mental strength to suppress him. He still had his sanity and did not seriously injure Qiao Yang and put himself in an awkward situation.
From the trembling in his voice, it was not difficult to sense that Xiao Yi was trying his best to suppress his murderous intent.
He tried to control the scene.
"The Insect King is fine!"
"Your Majesty was injured while carrying out a top-secret mission and suffered from mental impairment. Now his old illness has relapsed and he is undergoing rehabilitation treatment."
"The mental strength will come back."
The female soldiers all showed disbelief on their faces, but they did not have the courage to refute. After they all replied in unison that they understood, they watched in silence as Xiao Yi carried Lin Tinghan off the stage.
Assassinating the Insect Emperor, who was a rare S-rank prince, in public, would be a crime that he could not escape even if he was a male insect.
But Qiao Yang didn't look panicked at all and was even humming a little tune.
If the consciousness attack had substance like the manipulation silk, Lin Tinghan would definitely be tied up at this moment, wrapped in a spider web like a cocoon.
But in the end, the difficulty level is still a bit high.
001 cannot exert its full power in the high-dimensional world. Lin Tinghan still woke up, still an S-level male insect, and did not turn back into a human.
The Insect King was furious after waking up.
He rushed into the interrogation room, picked up Qiao Yang and beat him wildly. The force of his punches was so strong that Qiao Yang's face was torn into pieces, and it was swollen and black.
Qiao Yang felt no pain and laughed until he spat out blood foam: "If you kill this body, you won't be able to find me."
Lin Tinghan's mental strength had just recovered most of it and was not stable at all.
He must calm down and think of a solution.
001 saw through it at a glance and sneered.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Once the cosmic consciousness reports an error, the only outcome is to reset to zero and start over. In the final analysis, you are not a Zerg after all."
"Go back to your original world and experience the disaster you were destined to experience. Don't let it end up with nothing and everyone getting killed."
The deep and stagnant eyes revealed the inner turmoil. Lin Tinghan asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
Qiao Yang whistled, with a sarcastic look on his face.
After that, it remained silent, occupying the original body all the time, unwilling to leave. As time passed, the feeling of uneasiness in Lin Tinghan's heart became stronger.
Just at this moment, the guards rushed in in panic.
"No, that's bad! Your Majesty!"
"The spirit tree withers!"
"The mental strength of a few Zerg has already declined. Before long, all Zerg will lose their mental strength. Your Majesty, please go back and think of a solution!"
The situation changed too quickly and was heading towards the bottom at a cliff-like speed.
The Zerg had no time to thoroughly investigate the reason why the spirit tree withered.
Lin Tinghan's eyelids jumped and he looked at Qiao Yang.
His expression was as if he had suddenly woken up, as if he had guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
The guard was extremely anxious. Seeing that the Insect King didn't react, he hurriedly explained the current emergency situation.
"His Highness Xiao is organizing the troops! The power of the spirit tree is shared by the two races. The alien race has discovered that the Zerg has degenerated, so they are taking the opportunity to gather a large army and break through the border."
"The troops can only hold out for four hours!"
"Your Majesty, time is running out! You must return to nourish the spirit tree!"
Feeling the decline of the spirit tree, Xiao Yi was already on the battlefield and couldn't escape. It was very painful to find out that he had been tricked but was powerless to do anything.
But the admiral's vulnerability only lasted for a second, followed by unwavering encouragement.
"The Insect King has rushed to rescue the Spirit Tree!"
"Comrades, please follow me to defend our homeland and protect the Insect King!"
The fighting spirit was aroused, and the female soldiers tried their best to activate their mental power.
"Defend our homeland to the death!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Xiao Yi burned his spiritual sea and pushed his spiritual power to the maximum. He did not notice that the spiritual leaf on his chest was gradually becoming transparent.
Mischievous prescriptions and powerful medicines were continuously injected into the spirit tree, but they could only maintain the current state of decline.
The rescue teams were at a loss.
Seeing the Insect King arriving, his face was filled with joy.
Lin Tinghan tried to inject mental power.
But the spirit tree was like a bottomless pit, with nothing but dead silence and no response at all.
"Has anyone ever been close to the spirit tree?"
"No! We even checked the day of the blessing, and only you, the queen, and a group of marshals were close to them."
There were members of the rescue team crying anxiously: "We are relying on the time-stopping device to hold on. We still have half an hour left. Why is the nourishment not working?"
The handsome male insect frowned. Time and space paused?
Think of sudden illness,
And 001's words that were meaningful.
Lin Tinghan's breathing stagnated.
The nourishment that was given in the past turned into demand, and the empty spirit tree began to frantically snatch Lin Tinghan's spiritual power.
The shiny black hair suddenly turned dull, and the male insect ordered sternly: "Get out!"
"Everyone, get out and stay outside!"
