* Boom! *
A dazzling radiance blossomed in the sky.
The scene that appeared before her eyes was the scene of the battle between the brainworm and Bechymos.
In the dreamscape, Lin was able to see the battle very clearly.
The brainworm was meticulously controlling the field of vision of every ray emitting device and attacking the surrounding targets.
Although the brainworm's control was rather perfect, this was the first real battle after it 'joined' them.
In the previous dreamscape, Lin had discovered that the structures controlled by the brainworm were basically constructing, assembling things, or scouting around.
Only now did it appear in a direct battle, and the brainworm's performance was rather good.
Generally speaking, the memories only provided the brainworm with hints. The specific operations were still determined by the brainworm's own subconscious.
However, the memories given to it by the spiral creature not only told it which side was the enemy, but also improved its subconscious commanding ability by a lot.
It was rather miraculous to be able to achieve such a level. Moreover, Lin did not believe that … a creature with such an ability would only have a group of weak troops.
… … …
* Boom! * The sound of explosions could be heard at any time and place.
A huge golden structure the size of a horned dragon collapsed in front of the swarm under the sound of explosions. Countless locusts stepped on its remains and invaded the room behind it.
While Lin was observing the brainworm's dreamscape, the Inca swarm had already invaded the lower half of the ship. Although the golden structure had been coming out to resist, it had never come out to fight as a whole. Only a part of it would appear every time. Very soon, it would be torn apart by the swarm.
Why were they like this? The mystery seemed to lie in this room. However, rather than calling it a room, it was more like a plaza.
* Guguga! *
A group of golden cylinders were rapidly shuttling through the plaza with a huge installation. They were all gathered in the south direction. A golden horned dragon was lying on the south side of the passage. A large number of insects were stepping over its' corpse 'and spreading rapidly in the plaza.
The golden cylinders roared and rushed forward. They used their tails to spray out a strange colored liquid to counterattack the insects.
While the Inca swarm was fighting with the cylinders, a large amount of black fog poured in from the entrance of the plaza. It slowly infected the place.
Lin shifted her attention away from the dreamscape and went to the frontline of the battle. Many drifting souls passed through the battlefield and advanced towards the large hall where a large number of structures were placed. Through their vision, Lin could see that the situation here was almost exactly as she expected.
In front of Lin's vision was a huge structure. It looked like a huge golden cube, and it was constantly making noises.
After shaking for a while, a door opened at the bottom of the cube. A golden structure rolled out of the door and quickly ran towards the battlefield. . and joined the battle against the Inca swarm.
It was the same in other places as well.
There were dozens of these golden cubes in the hall, which could also be called the 'Construct Creation Device'. They could create a golden construct every ten to hundreds of seconds, and these constructs would quickly join the battle.
Lin had the drifting souls spread out. Before going to each structure, Lin noticed that these structures were created at about the same speed, but they all had one thing in common. They would create a large number of the same troops at almost the same time.
After creating the same troops several times, they would start to create a different kind of troops. The appearance of the troops seemed to be random. Their weapons, body shape, and so on were not related to the previous type.
Also, the weapons they used were not specifically targeted against the Inca swarm. They were just randomly created.
The situation here also explained why the golden constructs he had encountered earlier had attacked in groups instead of attacking together.
Because once they created a batch, they immediately sent them out to fight. They did not wait for more troops to come out.
Lin also noticed that the longer they created, the more elite the troops they would create. On the other hand, the faster they created, the weaker the troops.
As the swarm continued to approach this place, the rate at which the golden constructs were manifesting also increased, but their individual bodies were also becoming weaker. Lin estimated that their previous production speed was around a few thousand seconds, but as the swarm began to invade this hall, they had increased their production speed to a few dozen seconds in order to create more troops as quickly as possible.
However, the creatures they created could barely fight.
Clack! The structure in front of a drifting soul opened and a golden structure walked out. It looked like a combination of various fragments and wreckage.
This thing crawled on the ground for a few steps before it fell and broke a few of its legs.
The structures they created to pursue speed were completely useless. The troops at the front could no longer withstand the swarm's attack. The swarm's army rushed into the hall.
The swarm surrounded the structure and bit it open bit by bit from the outside. The complicated structures inside were all turned into a pile of broken pieces.
Obviously, the Inca swarm had no interest in studying them. However, Lin felt that there was no need to study them. She had basically understood the state of the ship.
This ship was probably not meant for combat. There were only a few structures that could fight. When the swarm attacked, they would let these structures out to fight.
After the initial army was defeated, they could only continue to create new ones. At first, the troops they produced were stronger, but as the swarm went deeper, they sped up their creation speed, causing the troops to become weaker.
Although there were more of them, they could not be more powerful than the swarm.
Perhaps there was another possibility. The spiral creature thought that the large amount of light on the ship was enough to fight against any creature, so there was no need to prepare too many troops.
But when they were attacked, they didn't have any good way to defend themselves.
If that was the case, then Lin and the Inca insects would be able to easily take over this place. Although the other ships would definitely strengthen their defenses after this, as long as Lin obtained this ship, she would be able to slowly study everything inside. After understanding everything, there would be nothing to worry about.
However, there was something strange. The structure of the structure did not target the characteristics of the swarm and the black fog to create structures that could counter them. In fact, they had created structures that could counter the swarm and the black fog, but they did not continue to create them. Soon, they began to produce another type of structure.
These structures seemed to be randomly assembled and their combat style was rather 'stupid'. Basically, they only attacked the swarm that was the furthest in.
They did not seem to have any commands. The only command seemed to be a simple message sent from the outside. This made them seem rather weak.
The crystal attacks that appeared from time to time outside were also relatively easy to defend against. So far, they had not launched a large-scale attack.
If this continued, the ship would be completely occupied by Lin and the Inca swarm.
Now, the Inca swarm had destroyed most of the structure. Lin discovered that the structure of the structure was made up of a large number of fragments.
Although she did not know if this was what they did in the beginning, it was obvious that this kind of thing could not create any elite troops.
Although this hall was destroyed, Lin believed that there were other structures that were being created in other places. However, the Inca swarm would destroy them sooner or later.
Those places were very close to each other. The evidence was that the structure that appeared so far seemed to be made up of fragments.
Lin believed that they might be collecting fragments from the battlefield, or fragments left over from the original production. They no longer had any resources, so they were 'recycling'.
It seemed that the ship was indeed going to be completely destroyed.
But, was that possible?
That spiral creature shouldn't have let such a thing happen. This ship shouldn't be abandoned so easily. It should have some ideas … or it should be preparing for something special.
Could it be that this ship would turn into an art form?
That was unlikely. The spiral creature must have understood that even so, it could only blow up a part of the ship. Besides, the various fragments produced by the explosion could be collected for research.
Then, it would send other units to reinforce the ship. This was indeed the most likely scenario, although she had not seen it yet.
As for the third possibility …
Perhaps she could find the answer in the dream.
The brain bug's dream. It had finished its dream of fighting Bechymos and was on its way back.
The flight of the entire island was controlled by the brain bug. Along the way, Lin saw it using light to attack the Mist Explorer below the ship.
It was also the brain bug that controlled the other island, sandwiching the Mist Explorer between the two islands.
It turned out that it was all the brain bug's doing.
After that, it flew back to the ship. After landing on the island, it seemed to have entered a state of not controlling anything. It seemed to be in a daze.
Lin had always wanted to know what happened in between. Under the surveillance of Lin's simulator, the brain bug and all the devices on the island had disappeared.
Lin observed the brain bug's dream and waited for time to slowly pass.
Still, Lin did not see anything.
Could it be that this situation would not appear in the brain bug's dream? If that was the case, it would be very difficult to figure it out.
Just as Lin was thinking that, the surrounding scenery suddenly turned blank.
However, it wasn't a complete blank. A huge spiral-shaped creature suddenly appeared in Lin's sight …
