Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

In the rest area of ​​the Phantom Feather Squad's spaceship, everyone was taking stock of their spoils.

Over the past 1000 years, each of them has amassed a fortune of nearly one million Chaos Units. As is customary, they should now return to their barracks base to rest for a period of time.

But just then, Nan Yue, who had been monitoring the probe's status, directly changed the ship's direction and looked at them with a grave expression: "Captain, something might be going to happen!"

"What's wrong?"

Marquis Huanling asked casually, his vigilance inevitably lowering after tens of thousands of years of smooth sailing.

Nan Yue waved her hand, and several pictures immediately appeared in front of everyone.

He pointed to the things in the picture that looked like green vines and said in a serious tone:

"Terrifying magnetic storms are erupting everywhere in the five-phase vortex star region. Ordinary plants cannot survive at all. Only those that have mutated and adapted to the environment can survive."

However, these wriggling vines are not plants; they are the Zerg's Greenline Devourers, special units designed to conquer planets and control puppets.

The planets they control are outposts of the Zerg hive, meaning there's a high chance a Zerg Queen is ahead of us!

"The Zerg Queen!" Everyone in the lounge was shocked.

In the outer battlefields, the Zerg Queen is synonymous with being difficult to deal with. When their teams hunt, they only target the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, and the subordinate races of the other three top races. If they find the Zerg, they retreat far away and dare not face the real Zerg Queen.

The reason is simple: any Zerg Queen who dares to enter the extraterritorial battlefield, even if she is only at the level of a Realm Lord, must have an army of hundreds of millions of elite Zerg warriors behind her, plus the immortal guards arranged within the clan. Even if they can defeat her, they will suffer heavy losses themselves.

But the most likely outcome is that they will be worn down and killed by the other side.

Trying to force your way through and physically annihilate them? You'll be facing an endless swarm of world lord-level insects and incredibly strong Zerg immortal guards.

A spellcaster's soul attack? The Zerg queens who dare to come to the outer battlefield have basically reached the Marquis level in terms of mental consciousness. An attack can at most make them mentally disoriented, but you still have to accurately find the queen's location among billions of Zerg.

It can be said that if there is no illusionist in the team whose mental will has reached the level of a king, the strong people of other races will have no way to deal with the Zerg Queen and can only try their best to escape.

It's worth noting that several of the more famous Zerg Queens on the Ninth Battlefield have a history of wiping out entire squads of other races.

Laziness is only temporary. When faced with a life-or-death crisis, Huanling Hou's shrewdness and competence, honed over millions of years in the extraterrestrial battlefields, once again come into play.

Instead of immediately ordering a retreat, he turned and asked, "Where were those green-lined worms found?"

"5000 million kilometers away, there are planets occupied by green-lined worms in the direction we were traveling and to our left and right," Nan Yue calmly replied. "They are arranged in a wedge formation, and the mother nest should be behind them."

"Alright, enter the Dark Universe as soon as possible!" Huanlinghou nodded, understanding the seriousness of the matter.

5000 million kilometers is the limit of their probe's detection range, but the other side's detection capabilities are uncertain, and they have no idea whether they have detected the spacecraft.

Moreover, the drawbacks of not daring to fight the Zerg Queen before are now becoming apparent.

Unbeknownst to them, less than fifty miles from the spaceship, a small, transparent insect was following them.

It is only two meters long, with an extremely thin carapace, but a very large head, with densely packed compound eyes taking up two-thirds of its head, and long, thin antennae.

This is a reconnaissance insect sent by the Queen Mother. Its strength has reached the level of a World Lord, and its stealth ability is extremely strong.

It is in stealth mode, flying silently and undetectable by physical means;

The reconnaissance bug has no combat structure inside its body and its energy is extremely well contained, making it impossible for most conventional detectors to detect its location.

Moreover, they are under the unified control of the Queen Mother's mental network, have no independent soul fluctuations, and can directly avoid soul-type detection.

With all three combined, apart from the top-tier detectors of the mechanical race being able to locate the reconnaissance bugs, even peak-level experts of other races could only detect unusual hiding places when they were deliberately sensing them at close range, but it was still difficult to pinpoint their exact location.

……

"Haven't we entered the Dark Universe yet?" A minute later, Freya, who had a relatively short temper, couldn't help but ask.

Nanxing, who was in charge of controlling the spaceship, turned green with rage, and his already transformed divine body was now sweating profusely.

Looking at the scene in front of the spaceship displayed on the screen, he was on the verge of tears: "The acceleration zone we cleared out earlier is blocked. It's full of all sorts of debris. Even an F-class spaceship can't accelerate to the speed of light in this limited area."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Yue's expression suddenly changed drastically as she looked at the information from the detector.

"Damn it! High-energy reaction detected, it's the Zerg army..."

boom!

Several white orbs of light, formed by the compression and condensation of countless energies, instantly traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers and directly bombarded the E-class spaceship of the Phantom Feather Squad.

boom!

Several white orbs of light, formed by the compression and condensation of countless energies, instantly traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers and directly bombarded the E-class spaceship of the Phantom Feather Squad.

Rumble!

With a tremendous roar, the spaceship was instantly torn apart, the entire spaceship exploded, and space was ripped apart, with countless spatial fragments and alloy debris rushing in all directions.

Even the lounge at the very center, made of F-grade metal, was completely torn apart, with only a few of the toughest connecting structures barely remaining intact.

Although the attack was detected by the detector the moment it appeared, its speed and power were too great, and Lin Yuan and the others in the rest room had no time to react.

Therefore, even with the protection of the rest room made of F-grade metal, most people coughed up blood, and their divine bodies were almost directly destroyed. Only Lin Yuan and the Huanling King siblings, who spent a lot of money to cultivate their auxiliary life to the level of immortal gods, were in better condition.

Although everyone was a powerful Marquis with an immortal body, they recovered quickly, but their divine bodies were also greatly diminished.

Among them, the two brothers, Nan Yue and Nan Xing, who were the weakest, were the most seriously injured. Their original 97% divine body was reduced to 83%. However, the others were also in bad shape. Even Huan Linghou, who was at the peak of the Marquis level, lost 4% of his divine body.

After losing more than 10% of their divine bodies, the two brothers' strength was inevitably affected, and they are probably no longer able to join forces to compete with a high-ranking Marquis.

After a short while, the surrounding space gradually returned to stability.

brush!brush!brush!

Lin Yuan and his group rushed out of the dilapidated rest room, while Captain Huan Linghou painfully packed up the rest room.

After all, it was made of F-grade metal. Even though it was badly damaged, it was still worth tens of thousands of mixed units even based on the material price!

In the starry sky of the universe.

Lin Yuan and the others scattered in different places, quickly releasing their Law Domains to sense the enemy's location.

East, West, South!

More than 200,000 kilometers away, a large number of insectoid legions composed of world lords suddenly appeared from three directions. Judging from the spatial fluctuations that have not yet dissipated, they were obviously coming from the dark universe.

Each of them was led by several thousand peak-level Realm Lords, the Green Mantis King and the Hunter Mantis King, and arranged in formation in order.

Before Lin Yuan and the others could react, their mouthparts simultaneously shot out a blinding white beam of light. Thousands of beams of light converged at a single point in the sky, and the coordination of thousands of Zerg warriors was as if they were a single person.

When these white beams of light converged at a single point, the space at that point trembled violently, revealing terrifying spatial turbulence.

Centered on that point, the vibrations in the universe spread outwards in all directions like a domino effect.

In an instant, it was as if a supernova had exploded, producing a dazzling sphere of light hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Immediately afterward, this enormous sphere of light suddenly transformed into countless shockwaves, blasting out in all directions. Only then did that incredibly terrifying, ear-piercing sound truly begin.

Three terrifying energy orbs attacked again, but this time Lin Yuan and his group, who were prepared, did not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Various defensive techniques were freely applied around the perimeter.

boom!

The ball of light arrived in an instant, colliding violently with the energy shield, but even the seven layers of defensive shield could not completely withstand its power.

Click!

The light shield shattered, and the light sphere, carrying its remaining force, slammed into the group.

Fortunately, most of its power was annihilated along with the shield, and since they all had defensive armor, the remaining force wouldn't hurt them even if it hit them.

Just then...

Five figures quickly appeared before them, clearly all of them immortal-level Zerg warriors. The smallest, Shadow Blade Zerg King, was thirty meters long, while the largest, Tiger Beetle, was nearly a hundred meters tall.

However, the Illusion Feather Squad paid no attention to these powerful figures at this moment. Instead, they frantically scanned their surroundings with their divine senses. If they did not find the Zerg Queen, they would not be able to leave even if they eliminated all the Zerg in front of them!

"There's no soul fluctuation; she hasn't released any soul slaves, and the mother nest isn't nearby!"

"Those Zerg warriors exude a strong aura of bloodlust; they weren't naturally bred, but rather elite survivors who endured brutal battles!"

"Stop talking nonsense. The fact that the Queen Mother dared to come after discovering us means she is confident in her own strength and feels she can deal with us."

They had all been venturing into the outer battlefields for many years, and even though they had never actually fought against the Zerg, they understood the strength of the enemy. Therefore, their faces were grim, and they knew that they had encountered a big problem this time.

And just then...

Boom! Boom!

Two more terrifying behemoths suddenly appeared. They were hundreds of meters tall, as huge as small mountains, and covered in thick, dark gold armor.

When these two immortal insectoids appeared, an extremely powerful domain of laws suddenly unfolded in the void, filled with a heavy earthy aura, which made the other immortal insectoid kings roar involuntarily.

It's important to know that although the Titan Bug has poor offensive capabilities and is slow, its super strong defensive power can absolutely disgust others to the point of wishing they were dead.

If you try to escape, there will be Shadowbugs blocking your way!

If it comes to a direct confrontation, the massive Hunter Mantis King and Tiger Beetle King will be formidable opponents.

The soul attack of the Phantom King can at most kill a low-level Marquis with a single strike, but it's just a tickle to the Zerg Queen, who is born with a strong spiritual will.

Now it's even more difficult. With the Titans protecting it, even if we find the Queen's location, we can't defeat them.

So... what should we do?
