Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Since the Octopus Man brought information about energy crystals from the Krichtel Galaxy, Zero has been very curious about this substance.

It was not until later that the swarm of insects also arrived at Critchtel and discovered a phenomenon that even the octopus had no chance to detect until it became extinct itself, that is, energy veins.

Hundreds of years have passed since the Zerg arrived in Krichtel in 964, and the Zerg's research results in this area have generally been quite effective.

From being forced to wait for the energy crystal to appear at the beginning, to entering and exploring it, to freely opening up the abundant energy, and finally to the emergence of wormholes, while taking into account expansion and other events, it is still possible to achieve this level, and with The contribution of Velvet people is inseparable.

However, while the achievements are remarkable, the problems faced are also increasing. The more you study, the more you will feel that your knowledge is insufficient. This sentence should be here. When the energy vein was first discovered, the Zerg had only one goal, and that was how to obtain more energy crystals through it.

Nowadays, the energy crystal reserves of the Zerg Swarm are already quite rich. If it were not for a huge project such as the relocation of the entire clan, the energy crystals continuously obtained from various mineral veins would be enough to maintain the expansion and development of the Zerg Swarm.

But along with it, besides prosperity, there are more problems.

This dimensional gap, identified by Pop as a sub-dimensional passage, seems to contain many secrets, but the Zerg seem to know nothing about it.

For hundreds of years, Zerg has blossomed in all directions throughout the entire river system, from a single star system to a star cluster structure composed of thousands of stars. It is foreseeable that in the future, if there is no invincible civilization or species, the entire river will be destroyed. It was only a matter of time before she was taken into my arms.

Even outside the river system, the swarm has an "enclave" that has not yet been connected, but to this day, the secrets inside the current wormhole channel have not been fully revealed regarding the previous energy veins.

Lyman Galaxy, a star system where energy life has just left, Gore led the insect swarm to take root here. This red dwarf star is extremely dim against the background of the universe. Compared with the blue giant stars that the insect swarm once ruled, it is far inferior in brightness and heat.

Fortunately, its lifespan is long enough. If the universe faces death one day, it may be the last batch of stars to die.

There once was a wormhole entrance here, but now it has disappeared, and Gore can't even determine its relative position. Tried many times in various ways and finally gave up. In this star system, the Zerg will probably have nothing else to gain.

It plans to actively search for galaxies with energy life in order to establish a long-term observation plan and finally figure out what they are doing when they find these channels!

But now the insect swarm can be said to have more than enough defense but not enough offense against this mysterious energy life. Let alone tracking, it is difficult to detect the other party at a certain distance.

This is the problem that Gore intends to solve. Nowadays, the Cerebrates are the "frontier officials" of the Zerg race, and Zero has rarely directly intervened in their specific affairs.

In Critchtel, everything seems to be back to the time when the Zerg was born. Zero and Sass guard the main body of the Zerg here and continue to expand further.

Ruhr's newly discovered mineral vein outlets in the local system have all established large or small stable wormhole channels according to demand under the leadership of Sars. As for the other brainworms that were "released", especially Todd, who led the development of the Velvet people, and Gore, who presided over the Lyman system, Zero was basically in a state of free rein, allowing them to develop on their own.

As for whether Gore acted alone or in conjunction with other brain worms, Zero did not intend to follow up in real time. His main concern now was the process of being conquered and assimilated by the Brocher Federation.

Of course, Zero did not end up personally. He just found it interesting. In addition, the Brocher people's research on dark matter also interested him.

Under Todd's control, their theory also attracted some attention among the Federal Academy of Sciences. Many scientific researchers in theoretical physics have unanimously expressed their strong interest in this theory that they have ignored in the past.

As for the assimilation process of the Federation, it has only just begun. The original social system of the Brocher people was forcibly destroyed, and the puppet coalition government, under the threat of the guns of the Third Fleet, formulated new laws and decrees that were conducive to creating post-war racial tendencies.

Of course, the Velvet people have not carried out any immigration plan to this planet. At least on the surface, everything except military affairs is determined by the Brocher people. This saves them a lot of trouble and makes it easier to implement many political orders. Much more.

The long history of the Velvet people has given them enough experience, and they know very well the consequences of making interest demands on this newly defeated civilization at this stage, so everything is very gentle, just like the Third Fleet straddling the It’s like space-based battleships don’t exist.

Of course, even so, armed resistance and chaos never stopped during these years. However, with federal support, the Brocher Commonwealth government has roughly re-established a new global order. Dissatisfaction, fear and hatred cannot be eliminated in this generation of Brocher people, and civil war is inevitable.

Under the control of Todd, the Velvet people gradually transformed the Broche civilization in the direction they wanted. Without direct intervention, within two years, the puppets of the Commonwealth had already experienced a major purge. The government has initially wiped out rebels around the world with controllable armed forces.

As an intelligent race, recognizing the situation is also an ability. It is absolutely impossible to develop as freely as before, and the other party has not shown any intention of killing them all. So integrating with the other party can ensure the survival of civilization to a certain extent. It is a good choice, and maybe it can develop rapidly by riding on the east wind.

Resisting stubbornly will only destroy the last hope of the entire civilization. This is clearly seen by these Brocher people who choose to surrender. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are unwilling to do such things to help others, but the warships stationed in orbit tell them that there will no longer be any suspense about this matter.

....................................

In 1466, the Zerg, the brainworm Luer led two Zerg scientific research units into the real universe from an unexplored passage exit.

But this time, luck finally came to the Zerg.

Looking at the stars from the dark and deep space of the universe, many celestial bodies hidden in the dark are invisible to the eyes of the Zerg scientific research units.

Inside the star system, on the second planet, traces of a living planet were observed from far away in Ruhr.

This is the third life planet that appears in front of the insect swarm after the Velvets and Brochers. Strictly speaking, it should be the sixth, but those previous planets where even macroscopic species did not exist, They are no different from ordinary rocky planets and belong to the group that are directly ignored.

It is still unclear whether there is civilization here, but it is almost 100% certain that there is life on this planet.

If intelligent life really exists, then there is no doubt that they are another lucky civilization like the Velvets. There is an energy vein near the orbit of Planet 1.2, which is light-hours outward from the orbit of their home star. .
