A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 42 This bee swarm is too fake

The surrounding stars, distorted by their faster-than-light speed, transformed from countless thin lines into individual stars adorning the cosmic backdrop. A vast number of crystals abruptly appeared in a vast expanse of empty space between stars.

Bahadun was in no hurry to attack the swarm of bee-like creatures that inhabited the nearby star system.

Warfare requires skill, especially space warfare. A reckless attack will only cause one's original advantage to disappear, and the enemy may even gain the upper hand in the war.

I carefully sensed the psionic reactions in various directions within the Bogu Nebula.

Bahadun was quite surprised to find that the psionic reactions in every direction were ridiculously strong.

Clearly, the number of Babel bee swarms is enormous, many times greater than when they ravaged the galaxy.

No wonder he was able to survive until now after the death of the Overlord... A question in Bahadur's mind was answered.

However, Bahadur did not doubt his ability to win. He knew that the Babel Bees were not good at using strategy; their only strategy was to rely on sheer numbers to defeat their enemies.

The main attack methods, besides spore acid, are plasma jets. These do not pose a threat to the crystals of Bahadur. Their crystal structure is very stable and does not easily undergo chemical reactions. Moreover, their atomic structure is similar to that of carbon fiber, making them very tough. Ordinary sharp teeth and claws are difficult to threaten them.

Most importantly, the swarm creatures are accustomed to melee combat, and if this is taken advantage of, the crystals of Bahadur can easily wipe out a swarm of Behemoths.

Having chosen a star system that wasn't too far away but had the weakest psionic response, Bahadur extracted a small number of crystals from a batch of crystals under his command and used them to warp over at faster-than-light speed to infiltrate it.

Hat, formerly an agricultural planet of the Dias Empire, is now a special autonomous planet of the Dias Empire.

What does that mean?

It used to be a planet under the jurisdiction of the Dias Empire, but now it is nominally a planet belonging to the Dias Empire.

The reason why the governor of Hat Star still had to hang the sign of the Dias Empire was not because he was so loyal, but mainly because he was afraid that the Star Alliance might suddenly erupt and defeat the Babel Tower Swarm again.

Hatt's decision-making philosophy was that they would side with whoever won.

The garrison fleet belonging to Hatt, composed of warships traded from Beehive, is patrolling the star system.

Inside the bridge, the commander, who was lounging lazily in his seat, saw a subordinate intently watching the galactic news coming from the Star Alliance.

"Relax, relax a little. No matter who wins in the end, we have options. There's no need to watch this every day. No one is thinking of attacking us," the commander said.

"But if the alliance wins, that would be the best outcome. I don't want to make those swarm creatures my rulers," the subordinate said.

"Many times, I just don't understand you people who value honor and dignity more than life itself." The commander shook his head helplessly.

He still vividly remembers the scene when the swarm of bees, fighting near Hatt, directly infiltrated the warship with psionic energy, turning the big idiot who was shouting slogans like "Long live the glory" and "Eternal Empire" into a meatball.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded on the bridge.

The commander's heart skipped a beat, and his relaxed mood immediately turned tense.

"What's going on!"

"It's an attack! Enemies have appeared in space!" the subordinate reported.

The commander-in-chief wanted to curse. He knew, of course, that the alarm on the bridge meant the fleet was under attack. What he wanted to know was who was attacking them.

"Who are the attackers? A swarm of bees? An allied fleet?"

……

Before launching each attack, Bahadun would first send a small group of crystals to launch a probing attack.

Doing so would prematurely reveal one's own offensive objectives and eliminate the possibility of a surprise attack, but it would also provide a basic understanding of the enemy's military strength.

This can minimize the risk of stepping on landmines and fighting an enemy that is completely outmatched.

After the fleet patrolling near Hatt had a rather disorganized destruction of the probing crystal, Bahaduner had a general idea of ​​the enemy's strength within the star system.

It was strange that the swarm of bee creatures would pilot Star Alliance warships to fight its crystals, and that not a single Behemoth behemoth could be seen joining the battle.

But Bahadun believes this may be related to the Babel Swarm's strategy against the Star Alliance.

In Bahatton's memory, the Babel bee swarm was a type of bee that could parasitize the brain of its enemies, gradually devouring the brain and completely dominating the enemy's body.

It's possible that the swarm organisms made some kind of modification to these individuals, making it impossible for the Star River Alliance to detect these parasites. By using parasitic control, they relied on the Star River Alliance to grow and expand themselves.

This explains why the psionic reactions in all directions are so ridiculously strong; it's clear that there are a large number of these parasites.

Having figured this out, Bahadun ordered an attack on all the crystals. The massive crystals vanished into thin air and entered a faster-than-light state together.

Although the Star Alliance's warships are very strong, the number of warships currently engaged in battle is not large.

By using the small group of crystals that had already perished, Bahadur obtained the coordinates of the battle fleet. He then sent the crystals to warp to the vicinity of the coordinates, using their numbers to compensate for their lack of attack power, and quickly devoured the entire enemy fleet.

During the battle, several warships in this fleet capable of black hole-induced strikes caught Bahadun's attention.

Although Bahadun didn't understand what a black hole-induced attack was all about, its power was undeniable.

"Intelligence update... warships... new type..."

Bahadun couldn't help but feel fortunate; if there had been a few thousand more of these warships, the crystallized forces it attacked would likely have suffered heavy losses this time.

After destroying the fleet parasitized by the Babel swarm, Bahadur began a sustained campaign of crystal orbital bombardment against Hatt, which involved dropping large quantities of crystals onto the Earth's surface.

Crystals that fall to the Earth's surface like meteors, leaving long trails, will generate a large number of biological crystals on the spot. Once these biological crystals completely cover the surface, there will be no other life forms on the planet besides the crystals.

Without the fleet, it was difficult for Hat to mount any effective resistance.

"Target selected..."

As Bahadunl pondered his next target, a powerful gravitational wave—the kind it had only ever experienced when two black holes collided—appeared in the star system.

terror!

There's no adjective other than terrifying to describe this feeling!

The nest planets of the three bee swarms suddenly appeared 10,000 kilometers away from the crystal, and the enormous spiritual energy they emitted instantly imprisoned all the crystals.

The crystals that fell onto Hatt were forcibly pulled back into space from underground by psionic energy.

No, that's not the hive star of the bee colony!

These things are not the hive star of the bee colony, but other things that have the appearance of a hive star!

Shocked, Bahadunl corrected its perception; it saw large eyes on these nesting planets and sensed psionic reactions it couldn't comprehend at all.

From his psychic powers, Bahadur could recognize that these were creatures bred by the Babel bee colony.

"Question...I don't understand...I don't understand..."

Bahadun stared in disbelief at the planetary creatures. Countless crystals fell motionless toward the creatures as if struck by meteorites. As the commander, Bahadun could only watch helplessly, unable to change anything.

In the face of absolute psychic power, any struggle is a joke.

Bahadun could not believe that what he was seeing were creatures from the Tower of Babel bee swarm.

That's right!

This is not the Tower of Babel bee swarm!

We are both races favored by the Void God, how could there be such a great difference between us!
