A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 8: This Weakling Chooses to Give in

The devastation of Planet Milo was recorded in the brains of the swarm of bee creatures, and Lu Shang could use the information in the brains of the swarm of bee creatures to review the entire process of Planet Milo's destruction, like watching a video replay.

When the solid planet, which contained 200,000 psionic brains evenly distributed underground, approached the agricultural planet Milo of the Dias Empire by 300,000 kilometers, with the issuance of the destruction order, the Behemoth brains on the entire planet gathered enough psionic energy to warp spacetime into a warp bubble at a single point on the surface of Milo, and gave the matter at that point terrifying kinetic energy.

The direct consequence of this was that, in that instant, the entire planet was as if it had been violently punched by an invisible giant, and the entire planet was deformed and flattened, flying out like a baseball hit by a bat.

Everything on Planet Milo was instantly wiped out by the shockwave that spread at speeds exceeding the fourth cosmic velocity.

One second a vibrant planet, the next a living hell.

Lu Shang calls this a "psychic shock," which directly applies kinetic energy to the target object. The psychic energy released by the brains of 200,000 Behemoths is enough to send a solid planet, no smaller than Earth, flying like a baseball in a single impact.

Although Lu Shang has developed many types of psionic attacks, his favorite is still the psionic shock that he first devised.

The reason I like it is simple—simple, direct, efficient, fast, and brutal.

"To be honest, psychic energy is so effective, so why are you Babel bees so fixated on sharp teeth and claws and sheer numbers?"

Looking at the tragic state of Planet Milo in the memories of the bee swarm, Lu Shang was speechless with astonishment, and also utterly speechless at the Babel Tower bee swarm of the past.

The Babel bee swarm knew that psionic energy could alter the momentum of objects and even be used to defy gravity and go into space, allowing many swarm creatures that could only move by flapping their wings in the atmosphere to move in space at speeds comparable to space fighters.

But they are obsessed with human wave tactics and like to overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers.

There are clearly more efficient and simpler ways to deal with the enemy, but you insist on choosing the most complicated and inefficient way. Isn't that just being a busybody?

"Forget it, it's in my favor now anyway, there's no point in me worrying about it." Lu Shang gave up on asking further questions.

Although the swarm is connected by a psionic network, the psionic network is not equivalent to a completely unified consciousness. Naturally, these swarm creatures cannot know how the original Overlords and Masterminds thought.

Having received no reply, Lu Shang reconsidered and gave up on pursuing the matter, since the current situation was advantageous to him anyway.

If the Babel bees had been skilled in using psionic energy and had developed 108 techniques for using psionic energy, what use would he have been?

Just as Lu Shang was looking for his next target to test the power of other psionic strikes, a warning appeared in the swarm network.

Lu Shang raised an eyebrow, his previously good mood instantly turning somber.

"Why is it these guys again?"

Since the last attack by five fleets on five planets containing Behemoth's brain, the Star Alliance's fleet harassment has become more frequent, and the number of fleets has increased from the initial five to the current thirty. The scale of ships besieging those solid planets under his command has exceeded one hundred million.

This resulted in Lu Shang receiving warnings from other solid planets every now and then, and he couldn't even get a good night's sleep.

The crucial point is that Lu Shang doesn't dare to block these warnings, since these are all important military intelligence, and there is a special type of ship in these fleets that can affect the formation of spacetime bubbles.

In other words, once a planet is drawn into the sphere of influence of such a special ship, it will no longer be able to use psionic warp to escape.

He glanced at the twelve solid planets that had accumulated to the point of being able to travel faster than light and whose psionic brains numbered over two hundred thousand.

Looking again at the culprits that had been disrupting his sleep for the past five months, Lu Shang sneered, "It's time. Everything that needs to be prepared is almost done. This time, I'm going to wipe you all out in one fell swoop."

Thirty massive fleets?

The size of the naval fleet has exceeded 100 million?

I'm only going to fight fleets; I won't even bother if it doesn't break 100 million!

……

Hat, the agricultural star of the Dias Empire.

It was noon in the city where the House of Representatives of Hatt was located. Standing in this major city, the administrative hub of Hatt, there was not a ray of sunlight in sight, as if it were the dead of night.

Despite it being summer, the temperature is many times lower than usual, and snow has already begun to fall in many places.

The reason for all these anomalies on Hat is that there is an additional solid star with a volume no less than Hat between Hat and the main sequence star of this star system.

This solid celestial body casts a shadow around Hatter, completely enveloping the star.

Due to the lack of heat from starlight, the surface temperature on Hatt has dropped dramatically.

Inside the council chamber of Planet Hat, the Dias people had just finished browsing the video "Destruction of Planet Milo.avi" that had been transferred from the Behemoth. The entire council chamber was silent, and the governor of Planet Hat was so frightened that he didn't dare to blink.

The destruction of Milo Star truly shattered the worldview of these Dias people. They had never imagined that swarm creatures possessed such terrifying methods of attacking celestial bodies.

With past examples already laid out before them, no one with a brain would harbor the naive idea of ​​relying on a planet to delay the arrival of the Imperial fleet.

"Governor of Hater, I hope you will make a careful decision and not act rashly, otherwise the consequences will be a nightmare and fatal."

Lu Shang, in what he considered a very friendly tone, issued a warning to the Diaz people in the conference hall.

In the conference hall, all the Diaz people's eyes were focused on the governor sitting in the chairman's seat.

Although the governor was also quite frightened by the destruction of Planet Milo, he remained relatively calm and asked a question with resentment.

"Choosing to be infected by you, isn't that fatal?"

Lu Shang shook his finger and then replied, "Of course it's not fatal. An infection is just an infection; it won't kill you, and it might even..."

"Even what?" the governor pressed.

Lu Shang continued with a smile, "You might even receive some unexpected benefits."

These words stunned the Dias people present. The swarm of bees rampaged across the starry sky, leaving no trace of life outside the swarm, not even microorganisms.

Now, the swarm mastermind they're facing is actually offering them benefits?

Are their ideas too absurd? Or is the world changing faster than they can think?

"Benefits?" The governor paused for a moment, then asked, "What benefits?"

Lu Shang smiled easily, "I won't go into the details, but no matter how you think about it, you only have two options."

"Life or death."

The strong determine their fate, while the weak choose theirs. Unfortunately, Hat Star is the weak one!

The governor of Hatt's eyes were filled with struggle and hesitation. After a moment, his tense body completely relaxed.

He chose to back down!

"We are willing to accept infection from the bee spores." Governor Hatt closed his four eyes resignedly.

"Governor of Hat, you are much smarter than the previous governor of the planet."

With a satisfactory result, Lu Shang severed communication with Hat Star. A large number of Behemoth behemoths leaped into the sky above Hat Star, swaying their bodies that stretched for more than ten kilometers, and scattering bee spores at Hat Star.

Many Dias citizens on the planet spontaneously left their homes to be infected by bee spores, following an order issued by the Governor's Office.
