Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

This novel feeling made Zero slightly addicted. He seemed to have returned to the time when he first woke up, teasing these poor little bugs tirelessly.

Of course, he also conducted relevant experiments on other creatures and finally discovered a pattern.

That is to say, the larger the body, the more spiritual or intelligent the creature, the more limited the influence it can have. Now the only things he can control are these small insects, and they must be within sight.

It's a bit useless to say that this ability is actually of no use to the Zerg, at least it is of no use now. At most, it is just a little fun to satisfy Zero.

It is worth mentioning that controlling other insects is completely different from commanding individual Zerg. Zero cannot share their vision, and they will not obey Zero's words. This is more like a kind of forced oppression, because Zero often... Feeling a slight sense of resistance.

But Zero didn't say anything about it.

He guessed that this ability, which arose with the rapid growth of Zerg individuals, would most likely grow with the growth of the Zerg swarm. Perhaps in the near future, this ability would no longer be what it is today.

In addition to experimenting with his new ability, there were also some guesses about the "star map" Zero.

The so-called star map should be the current overall distribution map of the Zerg race. Each dim bright spot on it represents a bug.

And if these dim "stars" represent ordinary Zerg units, then the "bright moon" surrounded by stars should undoubtedly be Sass.

Zero could feel that this "star map" seemed to be very closely related to him, as if it were a manifestation of his ability to command the insect swarm. The relationship between himself and the individual insect swarms was clearly communicated through this The way is laid out in front of you.

The reason why he had such an idea was that in addition to his own feelings, there was another evidence, that is, he could clearly feel through this "star map" what Sass conveyed when he directed the Zerg scientific research unit to carry out activities. The instructions flow in it!

In other words, this "star map" clearly laid out Sasse's command ideas and details in front of Zero!

As for Sass, as the only intelligent unit in the swarm, Zero did not treat it as an ordinary Zerg. As a brainworm with extremely active thinking, Zero had no way to pry into its thoughts.

In addition to absolute loyalty and obedience, although Sass was able to communicate with Him, He had never understood its thoughts and ideas so clearly.

In other words, if it does not tell Zero what kind of instructions it has given to the Zerg swarm, even if Zero has higher-level command authority over the Zerg units, it can easily override all the instructions it has given, but what are the specific instructions? , Zero has no way of knowing.

But now, through this "star map", He "reads" all of Sass's command actions!

Obviously, it is commanding Zerg individuals through this "star map". To be precise, this "star map" is just a concrete manifestation of the entire system of it and Zero commanding Zerg units!

If all the bright spots in this picture were connected in a line, millions of Zerg individuals would form an extremely dense and huge network.

This net connected every unit of the entire Zerg clan, and was presented in front of Zero in this way.

He looked at the "bright moon" in this network and seemed to have some understanding.

Obviously, this is the reason why Sass has the ultimate distance to command the Zerg!

It itself is in the network, and the distance from each Zerg individual is completely different, so there is a limit to its information transmission. Beyond this limit, it can no longer function.

But Zero is completely different. He is in the void space, outside this giant net, overlooking every Zerg individual below including Sass. It can be said that the relationship between him and every Zerg unit, including Sass itself, is The distance is always the same. As long as He wants, He can even make this distance disappear!

This is also the most fundamental difference between him and Sass regarding the insect swarm command system, and it is also the reason why Sass has a command limit.

Zero believes that the ability he has acquired should also be closely related to this "star map". Because only within the scope of the "Star Map" where there are a large number of insect swarms, he can try to control other insects.

It seems that where the Zerg are concentrated, there is a giant net that cannot be seen, touched or observed, covering the entire area below it, and the ability that Zero has acquired is the external effect of this influence. reflect.

After a lot of experiments, Zero called it the Zerg Field based on its characteristics.

Because in Zero's consciousness, it is like a magnetic field, covering the entire space where the insect swarm exists. There are strong and weak ones. In the place where the insect swarm is most densely concentrated, Zero even feels that his own ability is somewhat limited. Enhance!

Zero also has some guesses about this, which may not be accurate, but judging from the process of its emergence and the characteristics it displays, it is very likely to be correct.

At present, among the entire Zerg race, except for Sass, the brains of every Zerg individual's body almost only have the most basic functions. It can be said that in this regard, they are actually no different from those small bugs crawling on the ground, except Apart from instinct, there is no intelligence at all.

However, under the superposition of huge numbers, their unique race seems to have produced a peculiar field. This field is invisible and insubstantial, but it actually exists. It affects and is related to every Zerg individual, and also directly affects In Zero itself, he was given this meager new ability.

In Zero's perception, every Zerg exists in this field like a sky full of stars, as if there are non-existent connections connecting them into a whole.

Sass, on the other hand, is like a bright moon standing among the stars, existing as a large node, connecting together a large number of Zerg individuals near itself. This is obviously all the Zerg swarms it can command.

Therefore, the Zerg field is the fundamental reason for him to obtain this useless ability. As more and more Zerg join this illusory field, the quantitative change finally triggers the initial qualitative change, giving him the ability to use this field. domain to influence the outside world.

Even if this ability is extremely weak, it can currently only affect some small insects to a certain extent, which can be said to be insignificant compared to the control of huge insect swarms.

But in detail, it is indeed the first time in history, which is of great significance to Zero himself.

As for the significance of doing this to the Zerg group, I really can't say. At least it seems pointless now except to have some fun.

But Zero also knows that many things seem to be of no use at the beginning, and only when they grow up will their true value be revealed.

Just like a Zerg larvae, it looks like a fat bug with basically no attack power and is very fragile.

But who could have imagined that it would eventually grow into a creature with sharp and fierce teeth, capable of even killing creatures as huge as ocean behemoths in the ocean it is most familiar with?
