Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

This idea is not a bold one, but I am still hesitant whether I really want to implement Zero.

After all, this is the only sample, and many of its characteristics have not been tested clearly.

But after thinking about it, Zero felt that he was taking it too seriously. This "Stone of Life" has obviously lost its due role, and only the core area still retains a trace of its former essence. The secrets about the birth of the Zerg have actually been basically revealed. The only question remains. , is just the source of this "stone".

This cannot be concluded based on the stone itself, so maximizing its effect is undoubtedly the most cost-effective operation.

There is no doubt that this liquid that can create brain worms will most likely have an effect on the brain worms themselves. How exactly is unknown, but it is indeed worth a try.

Zero no longer hesitated, began to identify targets, and finally set his sights on Sass.

It seems a bit risky to use it directly on brain worms. After all, the nature of this liquid has not been analyzed yet, so there is no need to be so hasty. But Zero knows very well that this kind of substance does not involve this universe. If you want to understand some of its properties, maybe It is easy, and a thorough analysis of its functions, judging from its performance, is impossible to complete without a lot of experiments.

And its size is simply not enough for the Zerg to conduct multiple experiments.

As for using it on an ordinary insect species, Zero has not considered it at all. It is just adding one more brain worm, and the value is not high.

It has been determined that it is not lethal, at least in small doses, and it also has the ability to enhance vitality. It is actually very safe to use it on SARS.

So, after some preparation and debugging, Sass readily accepted the arrangement. He personally participated in the last experiment. If there is anyone among the Zerg, including its subordinate intelligent races, who knows it best, it is That's all it is.

It is precisely because of understanding that it expects it. As for the risks, it does not care too much. From its perspective, that's almost non-existent.

And the facts also confirmed Sasse's judgment. Just like the queen ant that hatched it more than four thousand years ago, it swallowed all the remaining liquid in its belly and quickly started to prepare it in advance. The microscopic insect species monitors its own physical condition.

At the same time, Zero was watching it in real time.

If Sass falls into a deep sleep due to force majeure of body changes, Zero will ensure that it does not suffer fatal injuries due to loss of consciousness.

Sure enough, Sass didn't last long before he had to fall into a deep sleep, but while he was resting, the changes on his body showed no signs of stopping!

Its body began to grow again. Energy was surging in its originally round body, opening up a new and larger brain area for it. Its originally short legs also grew slightly, but in Under the "expansion" expansion of the brain, it appears even more bloated.

If we look at the aesthetics of intelligent races such as the Velvets or the Colossians, the ugliness of Sath at this time is even enough to cause a psychological shadow to the individual who sees it for the first time. However, for those who have been observing Sath from a microscopic level, For Zero, it is becoming more perfect, and there seems to be something more in its body, or in its brain!

This extra "thing" is not a physical structure. Its body essentially does not change much except for enhancement. However, Zero is still keenly aware of some differences. This is mainly due to the relationship between Zero and brainworms such as Sass. close relationship.

Of course, he is still unable to determine what this change is. This may only be known after the oldest brainworm wakes up. But no matter what it was, at least it didn't pose a threat to Sass's life, so Zero put it behind him for the time being.

…………

The changes in the body soon stopped. Under the huge energy supply, no matter what kind of enhancement it was, it was finally completed in about sixty oridays. However, Sass did not wake up and replenished its brain area from scratch. Judging from the observation and analysis, it just fell asleep.

Putting aside his worries about Sars for the time being, Zero turned his attention to the research of special elements on the silicon-based life planet.

Of course, Zero's gaze cannot speed up the research progress of the Velvet people. He is just simply curious about how this phenomenon of wanton mass change occurs.

Judging from various aspects of research, this involves the transformation of dimensions within a very small range, but what kind of changes are, even after more than a million observations using limited conditions for more than three hundred years, have not been able to determine. Come to a conclusion with a complete theoretical system.

Zero has increased the Zerg's investment in the basic science research of various intelligent races. Simply put, it is to guide these races to make contributions in the direction they need through macro-control, but this is bound to take a lot of time, maybe decades, maybe decades. century.

Of course, Zero can afford to wait.

The Zerg unit is still undergoing slow evolution. Today's Zerg scientific research team is no longer the shabby one that only had Sars. Each assimilated group is contributing value to the Zerg every moment, and the direct result is , a large number of changes and ideas that are beneficial to Zerg individuals broke out here.

Using the nearly perfect self-gene editing capabilities of the Zerg, they are gradually making various types of Zerg individuals perfect in various environments, and at the same time, they are also slowly pushing forward the various sciences of the entire Zerg. progress.

As time went by, the Zerg's rule over these conquered races became more and more mature. To be fair, apart from the initial suppression of resistance, Zero was not harsh on them.

Reasonable working hours, a relatively fair working environment, high-level rewards for high-quality talents, and an almost absolutely stable social level, etc. This is an extremely special semi-idealistic society where there are basically no individuals who cannot survive.

Even if he does not work, Todd will provide the most basic survival guarantee. Of course, there will be no more preferential treatment for these groups whose existence value is only to increase the genetic diversity of their race.

And none of this is without guarantees. The Zerg use their ubiquitous characteristics to ensure that all the rules set can be implemented to the greatest extent, and force guarantees everything.

This is a true era of meritocracy, and there will not even be any talented people. The vast majority of races have been "tamed" and even voluntarily surrendered after experiencing real rule. This has allowed the Zerg race to make progress over the years. Compared with three hundred years ago, if the most standard incubation is carried out, it will provide With sufficient resources required, the single combat power of the Zerg main unit has increased by at least % compared to three hundred years ago!

This is not starting from scratch, but the icing on the cake, which makes it even more valuable.

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

In Zerg 4379, Sass woke up from his slumber and verified that "there was something more" in his body that Zero felt was not an illusion.

Because soon, it proved this with actions.

To put it simply, it "teared open" the "skin" of the large insect species that carried it out of thin air!

It is said to be skin, but as the brainworm's last line of defense, it is actually a special space defense biological material synthesized by the Zerg's highest material technology. It can even directly resist the bombardment of the Hero Federation standard energy cannon!
