I'll give it a try for the first time.
I don't want to say that after you give me an entire army of civilians, they are slaughtered by humans.
Duang ~
The entire galaxy is littered with mangled limbs and broken pieces; the casualty ratio is at its maximum.
The Insect King first granted this alien envoy, who had been diligently practicing the art of reproduction for a hundred years, command of a portion of the insect swarm, intending to observe the results of his efforts before discussing further developments.
"No problem, the prison is big!"
"You can rest assured and watch out~ It's a big deal!"
Qiong grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and pounded his chest loudly.
"I'm best at coloring maps!"
Under the horrified gazes of Hei Ta and Ruan Mei, Qiong began his performance.
Xing rubbed her little hands excitedly, eager to try.
Only Estella was still a little confused and at a loss.
The pink-clad rich girl never dreamed that one day she would not only be able to get up close to the [Breeding] Star God who had long since fallen in reality, but also stand in the core area of the Zerg base camp, becoming the wife of the county magistrate... oh, I mean the commander's wife.
It's outrageous!
Then, Qiong began his operation.
Not to mention Black Tower and Ruan Mei, even the usually stable Screw Gum, its mechanical core fell into a silence as if the bearings had stopped turning.
"Shattering Star Servant, Earth-Exploding Star! Blow up that damned planet blocking our way! It's an eyesore!"
Qiong's commands were instantly transmitted through the biological consciousness network constructed by the mount insect—a giant insectoid unit specially customized for the new king, which evolved to have an ornate saddle and crown tentacles.
"You stupid pregnant disaster, all you know is eating!"
Qiong roared at another swarm of insects that were frantically devouring the mineral vein:
"Stop eating them! How many soldiers can you squeeze out after devouring all those people and scrap metal?"
"The conversion rate is outrageously low! What a waste! It's such a damn waste!"
"Where are the Phantom Moths? Where did my Phantom Moth Insect Corps go?"
Qiong sat on the throne of his mount, a creature with a broad, armored shell. Xing sat beside him, while Estád leaned against the armrest of the throne.
The three of them were like passengers aboard a living starship.
"Phantom Moth, use scale powder to envelop that planet, seal it up, understand? Make everything breathing on the planet fall into hallucinations."
"Then, make them—all of them—get to work, mine, smelt, assemble, and maximize resource conversion efficiency!"
Insect swarms have evolved mouthparts to devour everything in order to reproduce, but matter, resources, and energy all require a conversion rate.
Can the conversion rate of the organs and tissues inside a tiny insect compare to that of an automated factory designed by thousands of top scholars and manufactured with precision industry?
"Where's the Bewitching Insect? Get out here and get to work!"
Qiong's thinking is clear.
"First, send a small team of Bewitching Insects to infiltrate the minds of the locals and teach them the entire operation manual and resource refining process! Then, through your biological neural networks, transmit it to all the Bewitching Insects!"
"Then let the Illusionary Moth cooperate and directly implant the work skill package into the brains of those locals who are trapped in hallucinations, so that they can cooperate with humans and improve efficiency."
The Bewitching Servant is one of the few intelligent units in the swarm, capable of performing complex operations, and should not be wasted.
One Bewitching Insect learns to use biological neural networks and pheromones to enable other Bewitching Insects to quickly activate corresponding skills, and then transfers these skills to humans trapped in the phosphorescent illusion.
Even a five-year-old kid who was playing in the mud yesterday can be a senior engineer or a level eight technician today!
"Look, do you see that?"
Qiong Zhi leaned back on his insectoid throne with a smug look on his face, legs crossed, a chocolate-flavored cigar that his insect underlings had specially found for him to pose with.
He exhaled a non-existent smoke ring, pointed it at the planet completely enveloped in colorful, dreamlike scales, resembling a giant cocoon, and said to the Illusionary King Insect:
"Let's call this one 'Angel of Peace and Illusion,' and learn from it."
Xing Huan surveyed the Zerg commanders around him, who were listening through the consciousness network and possessed limited intelligence but exceptional execution capabilities. He pointed and gestured, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"From now on, this procedure will be followed whenever we encounter a planet with intelligent life. Do you understand?"
Although limited by the Zerg's inherent intelligence cap and the intelligence-reducing buff from the breeding aura, not all roles can play this way, and it's impossible to develop any revolutionary advanced tech trees.
However, simply replacing the original insect-eating efficiency with an assembly line operation of "illusion brainwashing + technology infusion" instantly increased the resource conversion and utilization rate of the entire planet several times over!
The process has evolved from a 'locust swarm' to a 'highly efficient harvest,' making the cost-effectiveness of swarm expansion unprecedented!
The most excited person was Taizyuros.
666!
A perfect hand!
The most magnificent cat ever!
family!
I got an SSR in a single pull!
He initially granted some command authority to this eccentric messenger with a try-it-out mentality.
The results of it?
Under Qiong's brilliant command, the speed at which the insect swarm spread and multiplied increased by more than seven or eight times!
This efficiency moved the silly insect king, whose mind was only focused on reproduction, to the point that... well, if He had tear glands, He would probably cry tears of joy.
Taizyuros was so pleased that he even wanted to practice the supreme truth of reproduction with his own messenger!
Increase investment!
We must increase investment!
Without the slightest hesitation, the Insect King instantly transmitted a will originating from the very source of existence throughout the insect network: transferring direct command of most of the insect swarm to the messenger—Qiong!
And Qiong, naturally, lived up to the Insect King's high expectations.
The moment he gained greater authority, he became more adept at operating the system, or rather, he became more unrestrained in his actions.
Stellaris is a game featuring Zerg as the main character.
Under his strategic planning and the occasional flashes of inspiration from Xing, the swarm's reproduction and expansion speed immediately jumped from doubling to an even more frenzied realm—a surge! A dramatic increase! A frenzied increase!!
Like a chain reaction ignited, its proliferation efficiency skyrockets exponentially, countless insect nests bloom, and its spread is so rapid that even the data-intensive Black Tower feels a chill run down its spine.
"With you here, the Milky Way is truly blessed."
Black Tower Dumpling read aloud using an electronic voice stick that conveyed a mix of shock, numbness, and absurdity.
"Honey."
Even Nguyen Mai, who has always had extremely blurred moral boundaries and whose bottom line is buried deep in the Mariana Trench, now looked at the wildly fluctuating curve of the swarm's reproduction and her tone unusually tinged with a hint of speechless emotion:
"Don't you think that doing this is, just a little bit... um..."
She seemed unable to find the right words to describe the operation.
"Logical calculation conclusion: Fortunately, Qiong was not born 130,000 years ago."
In reality, robots can't sweat, but in this simulated universe, the smooth metal forehead of the Screwball is covered with condensation.
If Taizyuros had made such a decision back then, the scale and consequences of that global locust plague would have been unpredictable.
"I'll paint it, I'll paint it!"
Qiong had a lot of fun playing the map coloring game.
Of course, there are obstacles during the spread of insect swarms, but sometimes these obstacles just disappear for no apparent reason.
Qiong never expected that her attempt would actually succeed.
“████~”
The Insect Queen's voice rang in Qiong's mind. In order to communicate with Qiong, she deliberately created a voice that sounded like that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old little girl.
The childish voice was filled with innocence and naivety, a maternal instinct that only wanted to reproduce.
"If you really turned into a white-haired, red-eyed, baby-faced, huge-breasted little loli, it wouldn't be impossible."
“██~██~”
"Aha? Hehe, I knew it."
According to Taiziyuros, those attempts that should not have succeeded but did were aided by the joy they brought.
Qiong wasn't surprised at all; in fact, she almost laughed.
How could such a fun game be complete without Aha?
Fueled by the dome, the global locust plague intensified, and the insect swarm, which should have peaked in the fifth Amber Period, reached an unprecedented scale in the second Amber Period.
until a certain moment.
Using the biological neural network of the insect swarm, through the breeding process, the dome that had been connected to it suddenly heard many sounds.
Animals, plants, humans, insects, babies, adults—everyone was crying.
Qiong seemed to see a red ocean, its neck with fangs and tentacles like a mountain of meat slices, its huge mouth open as if to devour the sky and the sun.
This single bite not only swallowed countless swarms of insects, but also countless worlds and stars.
"It's Gluttony! How could He appear here!"
Black Tower was overjoyed: "His mouth is so big! I have to go and see it right away."
"Damn it, how dare you eat my bugs!"
Qiong, her face contorted with rage, slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

The Great Black Tower.jpg
Volume 1: Chapter 509 Gluttony, Order
Knowing that the great enemy was about to devour him, Kripper tirelessly built walls, measuring light-years, to seal off the outer universe and isolate and protect the world that still had life.
However, even in the Amber Period 2158, the comet wall that preserved the old man was far from protecting the entire universe, let alone 800 years before the Amber Period.
And so, He came!
[Gluttony] Obolos.
The insatiable world-devourer has arrived!
The ancient saying goes: insects and ants are to birds, wild rabbits are to wolves and dogs, stardust is to black holes, and all realms are to gluttony.
A turbulent sea of blood suddenly surged and rippled in the void, and a ferocious serpent head covered with scales and leaping with ominous purple flames slowly emerged from this viscous tide of blood.
It opened its gaping maw, seemingly dripping with saliva, towards the galaxy before it, which had bred countless swarms of insects.
Within that gaping maw of the abyss, there was only darkness, an endless darkness that devoured everything!
Even the Star-Shattering Insects, capable of shattering planets, are as insignificant and powerless as dust before that darkness, unable to even stir up a ripple of struggle.
Before Him, life is but a fleeting algae in a vast ocean of emptiness.
Amidst the howling of the insect swarm and the desperate wails of the masses.
The colossal maw that devoured everything crashed down, causing the sea of blood to boil and surge back as it devoured everything, and the stars of all realms to tremble violently as it gnawed at them!
A swarm of insects in a galaxy vanished in an instant.
The churning sea of blood did not dissipate, nor did the ancient beast that devoured the world leave.
This amount of bait isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
The entire galaxy is nothing more than a trivial appetizer to Him!
Then came the second snake head, the third...
Amidst the intertwined hissing of the giant snake-like heads, a graceful woman was revealed among the ugly group of heads. Her skin was like ancient bronze, exuding a fierce aura like the ocean tide, yet she concealed her eyes, which could not hide her naturally stunning beauty and graceful figure.
"Wow, it's huge! It's really huge! It's fucking enormous!"
