Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 140 Metamorphosis

After receiving Qin Mu's permission, Babata, who had been itching to do so, immediately invaded the mechanical race's spaceship.

"Attack weapons, intact."

"The technological weaponry on this mechanical race spaceship is too powerful; it actually has three planet-destroying main cannons and nine E3-level laser cannons."

Babata exclaimed loudly from Luo Feng's shoulder.

"A planet-destroying cannon?"

Qin Mu and Luo Feng were both taken aback.

The Planet Destroyer Cannon is a powerful technological weapon that, as its name suggests, can destroy a planet with a single shot!

In terms of power... it's practically comparable to an immortal being.

Of course, the planet-destroying cannon also has its drawbacks. First, its wide dispersion range makes it impossible for an immortal powerhouse to concentrate its attack on a single point. Second, it consumes an astonishing amount of energy.

Qin Mu once thought of destroying the entire pirate base when he was in the Chaotic Starfield, but he simply couldn't do it.

"Power system, intact!"

"This spaceship's propulsion system is incredibly powerful, comparable to the Meteorite Star!"

As Babata reviewed the data, he kept exclaiming in amazement that, in terms of technological level, this mechanical race's spaceship completely outclassed the Meteorite Starship.

The Meteorite Star is an F9 class ship, but its true value lies in its materials. It doesn't even have any decent means of attack; it relies on accelerating and then crashing into other targets.

It can be said that the entire Meteorite Starship is just a copper matrix with an engine installed, containing almost no technological content.

Although this mechanical race spaceship is an E9-class vessel, it achieved this entirely through its technological prowess!

"Qin Mu, you're overthinking it if you want Earthlings to study this spaceship. This is an E9-level mechanical race spaceship. Earth's technology level is too low; they simply can't understand the technology behind this spaceship."

After gaining a detailed understanding of the mechanical race's spaceship, Babata launched a merciless attack.

"Of course I know Earth's level is far behind, but I don't want them to study this spaceship right now. What I want is the technology in the database of this machine race spaceship!"

Qin Mu was well aware of Earth's technological level. Even with the purchase of numerous advanced machine tools and the assistance of many slaves, Earth could only manufacture B-grade spaceships at present, and was still far from even C-grade.

What Qin Mu wanted from the beginning was the technology inside.

Just as every Zerg Queen is a born master of the soul, every Mech warrior is a super researcher. They research and manufacture their own spaceships and rarely purchase weapons and equipment.

"Let me see. There's so much data in the database. You should find the scientific and technological information you're looking for here."

Babata consulted the Machine Race database for a while, and after more than ten minutes, he spoke.

"Found it! This mechanical immortal has arranged all the data very well. It has all the data from B-level to E-level. Your Earth is really advanced!"

However, this information is recorded in the way that the machine race does, and it would take your current level of technology a very long time to translate and reproduce it.

Qin Mu was overjoyed to hear this; it was good that he had it.

When Babata was searching for information, he also had his intelligent computer search the machine race's database, but the efficiency was far less than Babata's.

This made Qin Mu think again about using the Golden Horned Beast to create a mechanical clone.

In the universe of devouring, the power of the Machine Race, as one of the six top races, goes without saying.

Furthermore, mechanical artifacts are also extremely powerful in the universe.

Furthermore, unlike other treasures, mechanical weapons do not have high requirements for the user, or there are no requirements at all!

In the original timeline, when participating in the mercenary assessment of the interdimensional universe, the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire intimidated everyone with nine C2-level laser guns.

For a time after joining Virtual Universe Company, Luo Feng's trump card was an E9-level laser gun.

Not to mention the Wu-killing Wings that Luo Feng used later.

"I must create a mechanical clone if I get the chance!"

Qin Mu thought to himself, when it comes to using mechanical treasures, the mechanical race is of course the most skilled.

He hasn't even used his own Golden Horned Beast clone slot yet.

"That's good. The translation is up to you, Babata. Once China has mastered these technologies, you'll get a share of the products sold."

Qin Mu smiled.

"no problem!"

Babata patted his chest and assured him that as long as there was money to be shared, it was fine!

As an intelligent life form, these are its greatest strengths.

It had heard Qin Mu say that the entire Milky Way galaxy belonged to China. With so many resources to support it, plus the technology inherited from Meteorite Star, the immortal technology of the Mechanical Race, and the connections of Qin Mu's immortal alchemist disciples, wouldn't it be making a fortune?

Luo Feng has already received tens of billions of Qianwu coins with just 5% of the shares. What will he get in the future?

This is the correct way to use Babata.

As an intelligent life form, why not focus on researching technology instead of engaging in adventures?

China is still weak now and doesn't earn much money, but that may not be the case in the future.

Having such a stable way to make money means at least you don't have to sit around and starve.

Once Huaxia is deeply bound to powerful figures like Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, their rise will be unstoppable even without him.

Upon hearing Babata's assurance, Luo Feng smiled.

"Babata, it's up to you now. I've often heard you boast that you're the most advanced intelligent life form."

Luo Feng was happy to be able to contribute to China, not to mention that he could also make money and acquire a lot of resources.

"What do you mean by bragging? Don't underestimate me! I am the Demon Babata!"

Babata said with dissatisfaction.

After exchanging a few jokes with Luo Feng and Babata, Qin Mu said seriously.

"Let's arrange the mechanical race's spaceship like this for now. Keeping it on Earth can serve as part of Earth's foundation, and also allow us to organize and translate the technology inside."

If you need to use it later, just let me know in advance and I'll make all the necessary arrangements.

Luo Feng, go find Jia Yi first. He has some cultivation resources that China has given you.

Also, you can pick up the bodyguard assigned to you.

Like Hong and Thor, you will be assigned three cosmic-level slaves and some celestial-level slaves. They can help you avoid a lot of trouble in the universe and provide a certain level of safety.

You can also tell Xinghe Trading Company anytime you need anything, and they will do their best to meet your requirements.

This time, Luo Feng did not refuse again, but said seriously.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Mu."

……

After returning to his residence and relaxing for two days, Qin Mu went to the Queen Mother's Nest, where Shennongjia was located.

This time, Qin Mu plans to place the Queen Mother's Nest into the core world of the Golden Horned Beast that he carries with him.

I didn't bring it with me before because it wasn't safe when I first entered space. As my biggest trump card, it was safer to leave it on Earth.

"Unfortunately, the swarm's strength is still a bit weak, and it is unable to infect and transform this peak-level world lord Zerg queen into a Zergling."

Standing before the insect queen, who was about twelve meters tall and had wings that resembled butterfly wings, Qin Mu sighed inwardly.

In the apothecary capital, Qin Mu considered using some special potions to weaken the Zerg queen, and then using his own swarm to infect and control her.

However, after verification, it was found that even if the drug was used to weaken the already dormant Lord-level Zerg Queen, it would be possible to infect and control her without at least waiting for one's own Zerg swarm to reach the Domain Lord level.

The Domain Lord level is the minimum standard, and that's only because its own swarm has an innate ability to control it.

The Zerg Queen's soul is too powerful; enslaving her would be extremely difficult.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng spent a long time preparing to enslave this Zerg Queen, reaching the sixth level of the Realm Lord level. He only managed to do so by combining his advantage of a psychic power amplitude of over 3200 and using the "Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique," which was specifically designed to enslave the Zerg Queen.

I still have a long way to go!

"Hmm? Is it about to break through?"

Sensing the message transmitted by the swarm's will, Qin Mu's heart stirred.

After more than a year of analysis, the swarm has finally completed its accumulation and is about to break through to the cosmic level.

For some time now, the swarm has been relentlessly analyzing the Zerg heritage and the information about the monsters obtained during the apprenticeship banquet, and now it is finally about to break through.

The difference between cosmic and eternal scales represents a qualitative leap!

Qin Mu immersed his will into the World Ring, and a super-large mother nest, nine hundred meters high, began to transform, pupating.

A massive influx of energy into the mother nest caused it to expand continuously, becoming even larger.

Unlike the previous mother nests that simply grew larger, this super-sized insect egg had mysterious golden patterns appearing on it, as if it contained some kind of peculiar power.

The will of the massive swarm was boiling, and Qin Mu sensed that individual points of light belonging to the Zerg units within the swarm began to glow.

Especially those cosmic-level Zerg units hatched by the Queen Mother's Nest, and many cosmic-level slaves who were Zergified by Qin Mu.

Centered on Qin Mu, all the soul connections became stronger and more stable. Even among these soul connections, wisps of energy light appeared, connecting together and forming a mysterious and peculiar network through various channels.

This network is far more vast and magnificent than the network formed by the ten thousand primal beads and countless energy rays within the Zerg Queen's body.

This is a soul network! A soul network formed by the entire Zerg swarm!

Within the Milky Way, in the Chaotic Starfield, and even in the World Ring, all the Zerg units in the Golden Horned Beast's Protocore World were roaring to the heavens in celebration.

The insect swarm is metamorphosing!

The swarm is sublimating!

The swarm is evolving!

"Hahaha, the Zerg swarm has begun to evolve!"

"Three days! In three days, the evolution will be complete, and the swarm's strength will undergo a qualitative change!"

Sensing the rapid transformation taking place inside the mother nest, Qin Mu was filled with anticipation.

The insect swarm is the foundation of Qin Mu!

"What? The Golden Horned Beast is about to break through?"

Qin Mu was overjoyed again.

The swarm's metamorphosis spurred the Golden Horned Beast's breakthrough, allowing it to break through even though it was originally just a little short of evolving to the cosmic level.

In the protonuclear world.

The entire primordial world, this square continent shrouded in golden mist, measuring 90 kilometers in length and width, trembled violently.

The massive metallic mist that was originally surrounding the continent surged wildly towards the entire continent, causing the metallic continent to frantically devour the mist and begin to expand its range at breakneck speed.

Its length and width are constantly expanding, and its height is constantly expanding! This continent is also becoming more solid.

The rapid shrinking of the golden mist caused this golden continent to expand continuously.

The core of the Golden Horned Beast is the Primal Core, and the core of the Primal Core is the Inner World!

The Golden Horned Beast devoured large amounts of metal to expand and perfect its inner world. Only when the inner world expands can the Golden Horned Beast break through.

In just a few hours, this continent expanded from 90 kilometers in length and width to 1,000 kilometers in length and width! Its area increased a hundredfold!

Not just the Golden Horned Beast, but also Io, near Jupiter.

A colossal beast, over nine hundred meters long, roared to the sky, its body covered in fiery red scales and engulfed in flames, devouring everything in the magma.

This is a blazing behemoth from the swarm, a blazing behemoth whose strength has reached the ninth level of the Eternal Star!

Its massive body began to grow slowly, its bones became thicker, its scales harder, and even the fiery red runes on its body began to emit a mysterious light, constantly permeating into the Blazing Beast's body.

"Hahaha, the Zerg swarm is beginning its metamorphosis!"
