"Destroy it?"
Yin Xin looked at Lan Mu. They had already given up. They knew that they couldn't be of any help in this battle.
At this moment, several items appeared on Lan Mu's body.
He raised his hand and the Ghost Claw hit Kelly.
Kelly wanted to break free but found that this was an irresistible process. She was forcefully pulled in front of Lan Mu.
Swoosh!
Kelly looked very ferocious. She had thousands of eyes and tens of thousands of whiskers. She expanded rapidly and a huge mouth opened in front of her chest. She wanted to swallow Lan Mu whole.
Lan Mu immediately transformed into a young queen that looked like Elise.
With a flick of his pinky, Kelly's image changed instantly. She turned into a petite Zerg with countless black threads on her back.
In an instant, she returned to the three-dimensional space and lost her talent in higher dimensions. Obviously, this ability had degenerated.
Yin Xin was overjoyed. They could tell that this was Kelly's appearance when she was sealed. At that time, her Zerg body didn't have dimensional abilities.
Lan Mu looked at the universe. As long as Kelly was in the three-dimensional universe, he could use the Quantum Observer to decompose her.
However, at this moment, in just an instant, Kelly evolved into another Zerg form and returned to the higher dimensions.
Yin Xin said, "That's too fast. You used the source algorithm just now, right? It degenerated instantly. That's impressive. However, this ability is useful for all races but not for Zergs. They can instantly evolve back and not repeat themselves. "
Lan Mu didn't comment. He had already expected this.
The Degenerative Hat's irreversible degeneration was the nightmare of all races. However, it didn't matter to Zergs. They could evolve into anything. Furthermore, they didn't have the ability to erase their memories. Kelly could easily design a new evolution stage and also had the talent to enter higher dimensions.
From the beginning, Lan Mu didn't intend to rely on the degeneration ability. What he needed was the side effect of the Degenerative Hat.
It consumed the Light of Life.
Now, Lan Mu was in his own Zerg transformation. He had never changed this transformation before. It was given to him by Elise.
The cost of using the Degenerative Hat was all borne by the race that he transformed into.
In other words, his reckless use of the degeneration ability was only consuming the Insectoids' Light of Life.
As long as the insectoids' light of life was not limitless, it would be exhausted sooner or later.
Without her super adaptability and various degradations, Kelly would not be able to fight back.
Lan Mu's actions had indeed frightened Kelly.
She was a Queen Mother, so of course she could feel that her adaptability pool was weakening and shrinking.
The adaptability of the insectoids was indeed not truly limitless. Their evolutionary potential was omnipotent.
Their Light of Life could at most make them invincible in the entire multiverse, to the point where they could devour all dimensions and all universes.
This was actually an unprecedentedly powerful Lifelight. It could be said that the insectoids were the most powerful of the three races in the Life Sphere fragment.
The only solution to this unsolvable adaptation was the [Origin] algorithm.
The continuous degeneration was a test of Kelly's evolutionary reaction.
Every time it degenerated and evolved slightly slower, it would be obliterated by Lan Mu.
She had to immediately choose a new evolution and return to the high-dimensional space-time.
Because degeneration was irreversible, repeated evolutions were not possible, causing Kelly's appearance to change again and again.
Now, she was in human form. After all, she had forcefully read the adaptability and gene pool of the insectoids under Elise.
"You're reducing my controllable evolution! Don't you want Elise to become a Dominator? You'll cause the evolutionary potential of the entire insectoid race to become mediocre! "
This was the first time Kelly could not help but speak to Lan Mu. Clearly, her Light of Life had decreased too much, and she could not adapt to this level of change.
Lan Mu watched as Kelly turned into a petite young girl. Coupled with some insectoid style clothing, she looked very attractive.
He could not help but secretly laugh. Kelly could not win in terms of raw power, so she decided to use the soft approach.
Kelly knew that Lan Mu had subdued Elise, so she imitated Elise's way of speaking to him. She was really going all out.
"So be it if you're mediocre. Who asked you to be so powerful …" Lan Mu's hands did not stop, continuously degenerating Kelly.
Although Yin Xin could not understand the hidden damage caused by this continuous degeneration, he knew that Kelly was afraid. This was the first time they had seen an insectoid in fear.
"Reducing the evolutionary potential of the entire insectoid race? So that's how it is. This is taking drastic measures! " Jiggs was the first to react. He realized that Lan Mu was directly reducing the ultimate talent that the insectoids were most proud of and relied on for survival.
There was nothing more ruthless than this. The evolution of life was something that was as indispensable as intelligence and imagination. In other words, without evolution, the latter two would not exist.
If one person could control the evolution and degeneration of an entire race, this would not only be the lifeline of the insectoids, but also the lifeline of all races.
At this moment, no matter how Kelly tried to negotiate, Lan Mu ignored her and used the Degeneration Hat like crazy.
Meanwhile, Kelly could not rush up to attack Lan Mu. Putting aside the fact that Lan Mu could transform at any time, just the degeneration ability itself would cause Kelly to be expelled from the higher dimension.
Therefore, Kelly continued to fall, sublimate, fall, and sublimate in the lower and higher dimensions …
Not to mention resisting, even being able to speak was already considered fast.
"Stop! I'm willing to submit! Just stop … "Kelly said helplessly.
Kelly suddenly gave in. She was actually willing to become Lan Mu's vassal like Elise.
Up until now, the insectoids only had three Sovereigns: Kelly, Elise, and Lan Mu. If even Kelly submitted to Lan Mu, it would mean that the insectoids had all fallen and would no longer be an independent race.
To a civilization, this might be some kind of humiliation, but to the insectoids, it did not matter. As long as they could continue eating, it would be fine.
However, if Lan Mu was allowed to continue degenerating, even if Elise became the Supreme Sovereign in the future, she would only be a race with slightly higher potential.
How would they be able to eat the universe? How would they be able to eat the multiverse? How would they be able to eat stronger, bigger, and more beings? How would they be able to taste better genes?
Weakening the Light of Life was equivalent to depriving the insectoids of their greatest happiness. This was something that Kelly could not accept.
From the long-term perspective of the insectoids as a whole, if Kelly continued to resist, the insectoids would only end up worse.
Lan Mu had already expected Kelly to submit, so he did not care about any of Kelly's excuses and continued degenerating her in an orderly manner.
He wanted to destroy the insectoids and wait for Kelly to surrender.
Lan Mu could not be bothered to kill Kelly in a way that was too troublesome, and he did not want to destroy the insectoids either. He knew the insectoids too well. Back then, he had used food to trick Elise, so naturally, he knew what the insectoids were like.
Of course, if Kelly refused to surrender, then he would just destroy her. Only Elise would suffer.
At this time, Kelly stood silently near Silver Heart. It did not degenerate back this time.
Lan Mu could immediately use the Quantum Observer to kill it as it was in a three-dimensional space. Therefore, what Kelly did was equivalent to giving her life to Lan Mu.
Lan Mu smiled faintly as he returned to Silver Heart. At this time, the three empresses were gathered. Kelly, Elise, and Lan Mu formed a triangle.
"Mother Empress …" Although Elise and Kelly did not have any kinship, in terms of race, they were mother and daughter.
Kelly ignored Elise and said to Lan Mu in a low voice, "What do you want to do? A contract? I won't have any excessive conditions. As long as I can eat whatever Elise eats, that's fine … "
What she said was funny, but Kelly was serious. Indeed, the conditions were not high. She could eat whatever she wanted.
Lan Mu smiled and said, "You're quite familiar with the process …"
"However, I don't plan to form any more contracts. I don't want that kind of thing anymore."
Kelly was shocked. This meant that she could not be trusted by Lan Mu.
"Then …"
Lan Mu said, "You can give up your position to Elise. Under the mental restraint, you'll be her vassal."
When Kelly heard this, she said honestly, "But I'll still have my independence. When our strength is similar, I can resist it. I can even replace it at any time … "
Lan Mu smiled and said, "If you do that, you won't have the chance to surrender anymore …"
"Death is not scary … but never being able to eat again … that's the scary part."
The current Lan Mu did not really need anything like a contract. He did not rely on this kind of restraint like before.
Strength itself was the best source of confidence.
Lan Mu was confident that he would become stronger and stronger, and no one would be able to catch up to him. After going through Victor's Calamity, he knew the importance of confidence.
Kelly looked at Lan Mu's smile and was shocked by his calmness.
Wasn't it just being a vassal? What was dignity? Could it be eaten?
Thinking about how pitiful the Zergs were … to the point where they could not even eat the universe, that was a nightmare!
Kelly hurriedly opened up her adaptation library and said to Elise.
"Evolve, Elise. From now on, you're my master."
…
P/S: I'm finally going to use up the life orbs.
