"There are more and more of them …"
Blood Mist was looking at the sky.
It had been here for … six pompoms of days and nights.
During this period of time, it would always come to the 'stargazing point' at the top of the circular platform to observe the situation outside.
It could see that the troops from the Mirror World were increasing every day. They were like a layer of thick fog that surrounded the world.
"The creatures here are feeling danger …" Cryopteris' voice rang out in the mechanical water puppet. Normally, Cryopteris would be doing research in the ship.
"Many 'peak species' feel that war is about to begin here. They want to leave," Cryopteris said, "But clearly, they can't find a way to leave."
"Yes." Blood Mist said, "I think … the platforms they're on now might be thrown into the war. If the creatures living on the platforms aren't moved away, they'll all be destroyed."
"They're already being destroyed …"
Beep! Blood Mist discovered that an image had popped up in the mechanical water puppet. In the image … a scene of destruction could be seen.
… This happened on the other side of the battlefield …
Rumble!
Billowing smoke surged on the ground. The pink sky was dyed black by it. The sparkling ground was filled with cracks. Many crystalline structures … machines, buildings, and squids were lying on the ground. Their wreckage and corpses were lying on the ground.
Many insects were shuttling back and forth between the wreckage. They looked like locusts, and their bodies were only 30 centimeters long. They were the 'recyclers' of the Inca insect swarm. These soldiers ran everywhere, looking for things that the insect swarm found useful, as well as the corpses of the squids. Before they were sent to the Abandoned World, they would devour them and bring them back for research.
Through some research, the Inca insects found that the crystal squids were indeed related to 'ancient squids'. There was some information in their nuclei, indicating that their ancestors were ancient squids from the Pompom World.
However, they had already changed a lot. They were very different from before … The biggest change was in their intelligence.
Perhaps the Shi Jin realm had come into contact with the Pompom World a long time ago, or perhaps the ancient squids had come into this world through some method. But no matter what …
They were all destroyed now.
Although the Crystal Squids could resist the Zerg swarm at first, they slowly became defenseless. When the Zerg swarm continuously attacked with meteorites, they almost completely collapsed.
The meteorites had shattered most of the Crystal Squid's power. They had destroyed several of the Crystal Squid's main cities and completely eliminated the Crystal Squid's armed forces.
The damage they left on the ground seemed to be too serious, so much so that the 'absorption' of the Abandoned World slowed down, and there were still quite a lot of wreckage left on the ground that had not yet disappeared.
The Inca insects collected the remains and carefully studied the connection between this world and the Abandoned World. How did they get transported to the Abandoned World? The insectoids felt that as long as they understood this point, things would be easier.
The insect swarm received news from Cryopteris as well. Cryopteris stated that there was a third world in the Primordial realm, which was their main base. They had deployed countless defences there, but they did not plan on attacking proactively.
This gave the insect swarm time to prepare, but Cryopteris also stated that the Primordial realm probably knew that it had been sending messages the entire time, so it might have changed its plans. The insect swarm was also on guard against this.
Now, the insect swarm planned on occupying the Surface World.
Giant beetles descended from the sky and landed on the wreckage of the crystalline plains. At the same time, countless swarms of insects followed them. These swarms of insects began to construct huge structures on the ground and multiplied into more troops.
Their main source of nutrients came from the surrounding wreckage. As long as they swallowed the wreckage, it would not be transported to the Abandoned World.
In short, it was not that the food in this world could not be stored. It just needed to be wrapped up in living things.
There were still many Crystal Squids active in this world, but they were all 'commoners'. They did not have an army or defences, so they posed no threat at all.
As a result, the insect swarm discovered that another group of 'civilized creatures' had appeared in this world. The creatures this time seemed to be composed of metal, but there were far fewer of them than the Crystal Squids.
It seemed like it was just as the message had said. Cryopteris had mentioned that the Crystal Squids were the most powerful subordinates of the Primordial realm. There were no races more powerful than them.
The insect swarm would continue to spread through the Surface World until they found a way to travel to another world. Then, they would completely destroy the Primordial realm.
In reality, this was not just a counterattack against the invaders. It was also a verification and expansion of their strength. The insect swarm had always been looking forward to something like this.
… … …
"They're very powerful." A creature near the pompom's world commented on the insect swarm's strength, "This is very surprising to the Primordial realm. They never thought something like this would happen. They thought the invasion would be the same as before, and they would be able to achieve victory easily."
"However, their expectations seem to be very far away from what they think."
The creature that was talking had tentacles all over its body. It looked like a ball of tentacles that was a few meters tall. In front of it was a ball that was much smaller than it and covered in fur.
"You're using them to invade." The pompom said to the ball of tentacles, in other words … the creature of the church, "Have you been in contact with the Primordial realm for a very long time already?"
"A very long time …" said the creature of the church, "We once believed that they were suitable to become the new transpirators, but that's not the case."
"They're not suitable to become transpirators. They're not suitable in many aspects," said the creature of the church. "However, they can be used in many ways as well. For example, they can complete the invasion of your world and help us' transpirate 'your world."
"You might think … that it's impossible for the Primordial realm to do that. After all, the first invaders have been repelled, and one of their Cycle Worlds has been conquered," said the creature of the church. "However, they can still complete their mission. We'll witness it very soon."
"I'm rather curious about that," said the creature of the church, "Why don't you go and fight them yourself? Why don't you get other species to fight them instead? "
"Although they have a chance at victory, you'll only be able to understand more details if you fight them yourself, right?" said the creature of the church.
"I do want to know more details. For example …" The pompom asked, "Why aren't they suitable to become transpirators? What kind of creatures are they? "
"Just as you know, they come from a crystallized world," said the creature of the church. "These creatures have very special characteristics. They're very good at learning … but they can't do anything other than learning."
"It's been like this ever since we discovered them …"
At the same time, on the other side …
"Boom!"
A violent explosion erupted from the ground. Countless metallic creatures were drowned in the light of the explosion.
This species was destroyed as well.
The huge insect in the void looked at the place where the meteor had struck. The dazzling light that had erupted there could even be seen from there.
That metallic creature had also been defeated by the Inca swarm.
Although they had appeared in a rather scattered manner and avoided being destroyed all at once, many of them had survived the explosion. However, like the Crystal Squid, they were powerless to fight back.
After the dust from the explosion dispersed, the Inca swarm immediately sent out troops to investigate the area. The Inca swarm used a new special troop type.
The Inca swarm called this type of troop type "Zombie". The swarm intended to use this special troop type to sneak into the Abandoned World.
Because the Abandoned World's teleportation must have a way to distinguish what should be sent over and what shouldn't be sent over.
If they could confuse this ability, they could send a portion of the troop type to the Abandoned World and establish an army there.
In fact, the swarm wasn't sure if there were any 'conscious' troops in the Abandoned World because many of the corpses had disappeared. They must have arrived in the Abandoned World.
However, these corpses didn't seem to have 'revived'. According to the information from the Cryopteris, the recovery of the corpses in the Abandoned World was obstructed, so the swarm intended to send some troops with normal minds over.
When they went there, they would be disconnected from the main army due to the distance. However, if there was a small group with enough intelligence, they would be able to establish a connection between the Abandoned World and the Abandoned World. Although the disconnection would lead to the creation of two 'consciousnesses', the two sides would have the same thoughts and there wouldn't be any conflict.
The 'Zombie' troop type looked like a pile of dismembered corpses. They were brought here by other troop types and casually thrown on the ground, mixing with the wreckage on the ground.
Next, the Inca swarm watched to see if they disappeared with the wreckage.
Disappeared …..
Slowly, the swarm saw that something was happening. The remains on the ground were disappearing one by one, including the fake corpses.
It seemed like this disguise was very effective.
As long as they went over, even if they couldn't establish a direct connection, they could establish a large number of troops there. At that time, it wouldn't be too late to slowly find a way to contact them.
However, the swarm suddenly thought of a problem from before.
Previously, the swarm had sent a Void Cockroach to investigate the Primordial Realm's Dreamscape with the Scholar, but this Void Cockroach …..
