165: Chapter 165 The Dark Holy Dragon Egg and the Six-Winged Heavenly Dragon King
Pierce's figure vanished within the divine light, plunging into a brand-new sacred cause with an almost frenzied sense of mission.
Su Chen's will transformed into an invisible storm, sweeping across the entire God Domain.
"My Lord's Decree!"
"Refine higher-grade metals!"
"For the Zerg Swarm, forge divine armor!"
The entire Bio-Magical Puppet Hatchery—no, the industrial system of the entire God Domain—boiled over with this will. Countless Drone-type Zerg abandoned their original collection tasks and instead began frantically mining, transporting, and screening various metal veins. Combining Pierce's Divine Power with the Mother Nest's computing power, the optimal smelting process was mapped out in an instant.
New giant furnaces, filled with a ferocious industrial aesthetic, rose from the ground one after another.
Psionic blue divine flames burned fiercely within them, melting the most stubborn Ores into scalding molten iron.
The expansion of the God Domain proceeded in full swing at an unprecedented speed.
Every day, tens of thousands of mechanical Roaches emerged from the hatcheries, their dark-gold carapaces reflecting a heart-palpitating, cold luster under the light of the God Domain.
The future of the ground forces was already clearly visible.
To celebrate this visible leap in strength, a grand sacrificial ceremony sweeping the entire God Domain was spontaneously held by tens of millions of the most devout believers.
The mountain-shaking prayers converged into a torrent of faith, nearly dyeing the sky gold.
However, at the center of this highly anticipated vortex of faith, Su Chen's figure did not appear.
He did not accept the worship of his subjects.
His figure silently appeared in the deepest core area of the Mother Nest.
[Gene Mutation Pool].
This was the starting point and the end of all Zerg Swarm evolution. Within the massive pool, thick green mutation fluid, exuding the breath of life, tumbled about. Countless phantoms of gene chains rose and fell in the liquid; every bubble represented a collision and reorganization at the genetic level.
Su Chen stood by the pool, his expression calm.
In his hands, he held a giant egg as tall as a person.
The eggshell displayed a deep violet-black color, its surface covered in ancient and mysterious golden patterns that looked like naturally formed runes. Vast surges of life energy pulsed inside the shell, each pulse causing slight ripples in the surrounding space.
Rank 11 Golden Demigod Level · Dark Sacred Dragon Egg!
This was one of the most precious spoils of war he had found in the deepest treasury of that ancient ruin.
If hatched in the conventional way, it would give birth to a pure-blooded Dark Holy Dragon, a terrifying beast capable of facing a Lower God head-on once it reached adulthood.
But as Su Chen looked at the giant egg in his hands, there wasn't the slightest hint of cherishing it in his eyes; instead, they flickered with a cold calculation.
Too wasteful.
Hatching it directly would simply be an insult to such top-tier genetic material.
"Though dragons are strong, they are ultimately flesh-and-blood creations with inherent limits."
"How can they compare to an ultimate killing machine optimized by Zerg genes?"
The corner of Su Chen's mouth curled into a cold arc.
He let go.
The violet-black giant egg traced an arc and crashed heavily into the churning green mutation fluid.
*Plop!*
The viscous liquid splashed in all directions, instantly swallowing the dragon egg.
Su Chen's eyes suddenly sharpened, and through the Nid Hive Network, he issued a series of cold commands.
"Inject void psionic energy!"
The moment the command was issued, crystal tubes deep within the Mother Nest storing pure void energy suddenly lit up, and a pitch-black stream of energy was precisely guided and poured directly into the Gene Mutation Pool.
"Inject the moonlight essence of the Moon-Devouring Demonic Wolf!"
On the other side, containers storing high-tier Demonic Beast genetic essence also activated. Strands of silver-white liquid, carrying an aura of endless cold and isolation, merged into the boiling pool water.
Once these two completely different top-tier energies made contact, a violent rejection reaction occurred.
But all of this was under the precise regulation of the Mother Nest.
Finally, Su Chen closed his eyes. His own Divine Soul power poured out without reservation, activating his core talent as the Swarm Overlord.
"Activate Talent — Infinite Gene Evolution!"
"Squeeze every last drop of its potential dry!"
BOOM!!!
The entire Gene Mutation Pool went completely berserk!
*Gurgle! Gurgle!*
The liquid in the pool was no longer just churning; it was boiling frantically like a volcanic eruption. Countless massive bubbles burst, releasing a pungent gas that smelled of sulfur and ozone.
The giant egg resting at the bottom of the pool began to tremble violently.
The golden patterns on the shell's surface seemed to come alive, twisting, stretching, and snapping in agony, only to be forcibly reorganized by a deeper, darker power.
Under the erosion of the void psionic energy, the violet-black shell rapidly darkened until it became a pure void color that could swallow all light.
From inside the shell came bursts of silent yet Soul-tearing roars of agony.
The proud Soul belonging to the Dark Holy Dragon was being ruthlessly shredded, devoured, and remolded by the cold will of the Zerg Swarm and the chaotic energy of the Void Realm.
Finally—
At the exact moment the energy readings of the mutation pool climbed to their peak.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound, like glass shattering, was exceptionally abrupt amidst the wild boiling noise.
Immediately following, a crack appeared on the surface of the pitch-black giant egg.
The next second.
BOOM—!!!
An indescribably thick pillar of black light shot up from the Gene Mutation Pool. With an unreasonable posture, it pierced directly through the Mother Nest's thick biological cuticle and stabbed through the firmament of the God Domain!
The entire sky of the God Domain was dyed with an ominous dark hue by this pillar of light.
"ROAR—!!!"
A roar that defied description followed the light pillar.
This sound was not merely a physical sound wave; it was an oscillation that acted directly on space and the Soul. Wherever the sound reached, the Firmness of the spatial structure groaned under the strain, and visible black cracks spread through the air.
Within the God Domain, countless praying believers and countless working Zerg stopped their movements at this moment, turning their gazes toward the Mother Nest as the most primal awe and trembling surged from the depths of their Souls.
A massive shadow slowly rose within that soaring pillar of black light.
It was a terrifying creature that had never appeared in any records, one that existed only in the most frenzied nightmares!
It had the ferocious head of a dragon, with rigid lines full of power.
But atop that head were not dragon pupils, but a pair of massive, cold, emotionless dark-red Zerg compound eyes. Beneath the compound eyes was a ferocious mouthpart that constantly opened and closed, filled with fine, sharp teeth.
Its body was covered in layers of crystalline scales that looked as if they were carved from black crystal.
Each scale presented a perfect polygonal structure with sharp edges and a surface without the slightest reflection, as if it could completely swallow any light that hit it.
However, the most eye-catching feature was its back.
Not one pair, not two pairs.
A total of six pairs—twelve massive void light-wings—unfurled from both sides of its spine!
Those were not wings made of flesh, but light-wings condensed from the purest void energy. The wing membranes were a semi-transparent dark purple, covered in energy nodes that flickered like stars. With every flap, they created ripples of cracks in the surrounding space.
[Name]: Six-Winged Heavenly Dragon King · MYa
[Rank]: Mythical Creature (Possesses Lower God combat power even in infancy)
[Talents]: Space Tear, Void Dragon Breath, Hive Mind Link
It floated quietly in mid-air, its twelve void light-wings flapping slowly.
It did not intentionally release any aura, yet the terrifying pressure originating from its life rank spread in all directions like a physical tide.
Even the nearby Thunder Beast King, the king of Zerg ground warfare, showed a hint of uneasy agitation in its massive body upon sensing this pressure.
"Good."
Su Chen looked up, gazing at this perfect masterpiece he had created with his own hands.
"Very good."
His eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and satisfaction.
He issued the first command to the terrifying creature in the air.
"MYa, from today on, you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Swarm's Air Force!"
Su Chen's voice was flat, yet it contained an unquestionable majesty.
"I want you to turn this sky into a forbidden zone for all enemies!"
Hearing the Dominator's appointment, the newly born MYa, radiating an aura of destruction and chaos, slowly lowered its proud, dragon-like head.
Within its dark-red compound eyes, data streams representing absolute obedience flickered.
It let out a submissive, low hiss in response.
With this, Su Chen's war machine had filled in its most critical puzzle piece.
With the Leviathan Mothership, comparable in size to a star and capable of spatial jumping, as the floating base and flagship;
With MYa, this Six-Winged Heavenly Dragon King who possessed Divine-Grade combat power even in infancy and wielded spatial power, as the absolute aerial ace and vanguard;
Plus the hundreds of millions of various Light-Winged Insect Queenss that could blot out the sun as the backbone fire support;
The aerial forces in Su Chen's hands had expanded to a degree sufficient to make any demigod feel despair.
This fleet was enough to sweep through any demigod's God Domain that dared to provoke them!
