Chapter 372: The Strongest Insect After Evolution

It was as if one could smell the burning smell in space. The high heat radiation turned the other planets in the galaxy into lava hell.
In the past, one of the evaluations of space lifeforms like the Star Devourers was that it would cause the average temperature of the planets in the galaxy to rise. However, the Ether Dragon had done something more extreme than the Star Devourers.
Now, even on the furthest planet in the galaxy, the surface temperature facing the Ether Dragon could reach more than 100 degrees. It could be said that the Ether Dragon was the star in this galaxy.
The Void Evil that had provoked her was now blasted into nothingness, along with the Planet Egg that carried it.
Killing only one Void Evil was clearly not enough for the Ether Dragon, so she also began to move in the galaxy.
However, it was not directed at the Void Evils that were chasing after her, but at the Void Eggs that had yet to hatch.
She would naturally be the one to take revenge for the anger and resentment of her own kind.
At the same time, the Presolin who had arrived first also ended their incubation process.
Compared to the Void Evil, their hatching time was a little short, but this did not affect their strength.
Unlike the previously scattered individuals, Presolin had adopted a birth method similar to the Void Evil and the Ether Dragons. The Hatchery Planet would no longer be their nest, but the Planet Egg.
At least this time, they chose to focus on evolving into an individual to resist the Void Evils of the same size.
Although it didn’t mean that the larger the size, the more powerful it was. Quantitative changes could cause qualitative changes. When a lifeform grew to a certain size, it might not be defined as a normal life.
As the surface of the ground that was covered in lifeforms’ corrosive bodies cracked, life was born in these Hatchery Planets.
However, the commotion was not as huge as the Void Egg. As the earth’s crust peeled off piece by piece, a curled-up giant lifeform slowly stretched its body.
At first glance, it was difficult to determine what kind of lifeform she was. Just like a chimera, she seemed to have gathered the characteristics of many other lifeforms, but she did not give off an incongruous feeling. Instead, she had a strange beauty.
The surface of her body was covered with new muscles, but they quickly hardened under the effect of cosmic radiation. Soon, they formed an opaque dark red cuticle. It looked soft, but even a meteorite flying at high speed could not leave a scratch on it.
With such a large body, the strength of the body was definitely not to be underestimated. Even building a large space battleship required the consideration of the impact of mass and gravity on the body of the battleship. Biological evolution naturally conformed to this rule.
Queen Presolin, who had just hatched, began to eat the eggshells like many other egg-borne lifeforms, even though the main components of the eggshells were all kinds of feldspar and quartz. Logically speaking, they weren’t nutritious.
Her method of eating was also very special. As her body did not have the limbs of ordinary lifeforms, she used her psionic energy to pull a piece of the planet’s continental shelf in front of her. Then, she used her mouthpart to chew like a biscuit.
As she ate, she said in disdain, “…It tastes so bad…”
Queen Presolin, who had hatched again, seemed to focus on psionic power. They were beehive mind lifeforms with psionic ability potential to begin with. Even ordinary communication with outsiders used psionic perception, but they used to prefer pure physical strength.
This time, facing the shadow that had been chasing them in the past, Presolin decided to use all the power it could, and psionic power was a power that they had not valued in the past.
The queen felt that it was very easy to use this power, but the psionic power that could move the continental shelf of a planet was beyond the reach of ordinary Psionites.
It was obvious that Presolin had an unbelievable psionic ability potential. As for whether this was related to humans, it needed to be discussed separately.
All in all, the Presolin now was a special showdown form. This group of already very gentle lifeforms might only show such a state when facing their former enemies.
Although the eggshell tasted terrible, Queen Presolin still tried her best to eat it. During this period, she didn’t suffer from indigestion. Even after a large number of minerals entered her stomach, the cuticles on her body became a little brighter, as if her energy had been replenished.
Then, the Queen completely broke away from the Planet Egg that gave birth to her. She circled in space and let out a roar as if she was calling out.
Of course, the sound could not spread too far, but along with this roar, there was an extremely powerful psionic signal.
This string of psionic signals was so large that it could be detected throughout the entire megacorp galaxy. It was the same for Assimilation Fighters and the Voyager, as well as for the Void Evil.
The Void Egg, which had already been appeased, erupted again. This time, it was even more intense than the one with the Ether Dragon. It made the Assimilation Fighters, who were responsible for maintaining the egg in an unhatched state, busy again.
Half of the Void Evils that were still chasing the traces of the Ether Dragon were attracted by Queen Presolin’s psionic waves and shifted their targets.
This group of void lifeforms seemed to have a special interest in psionic energy. Every time there were psionic waves, they would be agitated.
And the new king always had to shout that not only to intimidate the enemy but also to gather his subordinates.
The Presolin that had been incubated in the galaxy around the Queen was inspired. As the planet trembled, soon, many large space lifeforms similar to the Queen were born from those Hatchery Planets.
Their physiques were different, but they had similar strengths in terms of psionic power.
After returning to the queen’s side, the aura of these Presolin warriors became more and more dangerous. The terrifying aura of the Insect plague spread far away under the influence of psionic energy. Even some single-celled lifeforms that had just been born began to instinctively move away from Presolin.
They did not know that this was a group of creatures that had once devoured the starry sky, but the fear from the galaxy itself was urging them to stay away from these terrifying insect plagues.
At this moment, there were only about 20 Presolin warriors gathered around the queen. If the queen worked hard, she could increase the number by a hundred times. However, in order to maintain the collective strength of psionic energy and not be too dispersed by the hive consciousness, she chose to fight with the elite soldiers.
Facing the Void Evils that outnumbered them by a hundred times, this number was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, Queen Presolin knew that they weren’t fighting alone like before. There were still many companions who would help them.
This time, they were no longer fleeing for their lives. Instead, they were here for revenge.
Therefore, they began to take the initiative to attack and advance in the direction of the Void Evil.
The Assimilation Fighters and the Voyager didn’t receive any combat missions, so they were still doing their essential work. However, they would also pay attention to the battle at all times and support others when necessary.
And the Administrator fleet, which had not moved since warping over, finally began to warp batch by batch under the guidance of the automatic artificial intelligence to stop the Void Evils that were flying everywhere.
However, some of the fish that slipped through the net were deliberately left out. This part of them was facing the Ether Dragon and the evolved Presolin..
