Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 616 Zerg Transformed into Lava Demon God, Treasure Vault Opens

As the 108 chains contracted, the Lava Demon roared furiously, unleashing its full power. The earth collapsed, and the chains creaked as they were pulled.

No matter how much it struggled, it could not escape its fate of being dragged into the World Nest.

"This tactic is indeed effective against these mindless creatures."

Qin Mu watched as the Lava Demon God was finally dragged into the Mother Nest, and thought to himself.

If a being possesses intelligence, how could it allow a sealing treasure like the Shadow Chains to entangle its body?

Only a being like the Lava Demon, which possesses only brute strength but lacks intelligence, would rely on its power to attack recklessly.

"Let's see if we can forcibly convert it to Zerg!"

Within the suppressed space, a powerful, corrosive force spread toward the still-roaring Lava Demon.

As the swarm's will penetrated the Lava Demon's rocky body and began to erode inwards, Qin Mu felt an overwhelming killing intent surge towards him.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts and roars of battle echoed throughout his mind, as if countless voices were clashing repeatedly between that incomparably fierce and tyrannical will and the will of the insect swarm.

"Such intense killing intent!"

Qin Mu was startled.

This killing intent was actually invading the swarm's will in reverse, following the corrosive force.

"This killing intent is somewhat similar to the impact of baleful energy. No wonder some people suspect that the Lava Demon God is the manifestation of the will of a fallen powerhouse within the spaceship."

The killing intent was strong, but it was too chaotic, lacking unified command!

Faced with that frenzied killing intent, Qin Mu was initially surprised, but he remained calm.

This level of murderous intent is far from enough to influence the will of the swarm!

However, the will of this Lava Demon God has reached the level of a Void True God, and forcibly enslaving it is not an easy task.

Faced with the Lava Demon's counterattack, soul points lit up one by one in the Zerg Swarm's soul network, and surging power continuously poured into the Lava Demon's body, colliding with its boundless killing intent.

Zizi!

Deep within the Lava Demon God's will, two immense wills were frantically consuming each other.

"Unlike the Beasts of Death, this Lava Demon can be enslaved!"

Despite feeling his soul power rapidly depleted, Qin Mu was not alarmed but rather delighted.

This feeling is completely different from when I was enslaving dead beasts!

However, Qin Mu soon discovered that although it was possible to enslave the Lava Demon God, the chaotic killing intent within the Lava Demon God was simply too powerful, and it was impossible to enslave it successfully in a short period of time.

"The swarm talent's invasion and corruption have a very high priority, even surpassing most of the enslavement secret techniques in the Broken East River's heritage."

However, transforming this lava demon into an insectoid race is extremely difficult.

"Try the Broken East River Legacy, and the enslavement secret technique from the Gem Legacy as an aid."

It seems we need to study the Zerg's Zergling ability more thoroughly, otherwise enslaving stronger life forms will be even more difficult in the future.

As his strength grew, becoming invincible in the universe, Qin Mu rarely used the insectoid method to enslave his enemies.

Its analytical talent is used almost constantly, and it has been combined with the creative talent of the Nine Nether Sea and the analytical ability of the Gem Egg, making it stronger and stronger.

The innate abilities within a swarm also gradually increase in strength as the swarm grows stronger.

In contrast, consider the Zerg's innate ability.

In the entire universe, how many true gods have surpassed the eighth rank?

Naturally, Qin Mu rarely spent time on these secret techniques.

The Lava Demon is different.

Its enormous size and super strong defense alone were enough to make Qin Mu's heart flutter.

While it is possible to summon colossal war beasts comparable to lava demons through war magic, the consumption of war magic is simply too great.

It's fine for short bursts of fire on the battlefield, but it's not suitable for exploring the core area of ​​the spaceship.

After having this idea, Qin Mu immediately searched for some powerful enslavement techniques in the Duan Donghe and Jiemu inheritance.

Soon, Qin Mu found a secret enslavement technique called "Nine Revolutions of Spirit Forbiddenness" within the Jiemu inheritance.

Methods of enslavement also include various forms of enslavement such as forced enslavement and illusionary enslavement.

"Nine Revolutions of Forbidden Spirits" is a form of forced enslavement. After all, the Lava Demon God is not a normal life form at all, and his mind is full of murderous intent. Illusionary enslavement is mostly ineffective against him.

The Gem race is a group skilled at cultivating powerful warriors. They possess strong souls and are also very adept at enslaving others!

Inside the World Nest control room, Qin Mu's fingers twitched slightly.

Strands of invisible silk threads rapidly gathered in front of Qin Mu, and billions of threads quickly formed a strange pattern. On the pattern was a character composed of secret patterns, which was the script of an ancient civilization—"Slave!"

Immediately, the transparent pattern flew through the air, passing through the layers of space in the World Mother Nest, and penetrating the depths of the Lava Demon God's consciousness through its massive head.

This rune was extremely domineering, rampaging through the chaotic killing intent of the Lava Demon God and flying into the core of the Lava Demon God's will.

"Become part of the swarm, become a member of the swarm!"

Qin Mu's deep roar echoed through the Zerg network, and the Zerg invasion immediately intensified.

Roar!

Seemingly sensing the danger, the Lava Demon roared madly.

The scattered killing intent seemed to condense within the roar.

boom!

At the critical moment, the transparent pattern of the character "奴" (slave) exploded, and the sudden and violent explosion shattered the killing intent that the Lava Demon God had condensed.

Qin Mu would not let such an opportunity slip by, and immediately activated the insect swarm's will to invade.

In an instant, countless fragmented memories flooded into Qin Mu's mind.

In the scattered memories of the Lava Demon God, Qin Mu saw the Lava Demon God carrying decks on a huge spaceship skeleton, assembling and building them, and saw the ship take shape step by step, until finally the huge ship took to the sky.

However, these memories are extremely disorganized and not systematic at all.

"The Zergification was successful! Are these images the memories of the Lava Demon God? Is this the process of forging the spaceship?"

As the swarm's soul power completely flooded into the Lava Demon's body, it took full control of the massive form.

As the suppressing force dissipated in the suppressed space, the Lava Demon God, nearly 10 billion kilometers tall, whose body was made of thick rock and endless magma, moved around for a while, and the three eyes on its head revealed a glimmer of wisdom.

"So that's how it is! No wonder this Lava Demon's defense is so incredibly strong, comparable to a supreme treasure. It turns out it's not a normal life form, but a special puppet!"

Qin Mu's face lit up with joy.

After taking control of the Lava Demon's body, Qin Mu instantly understood the Lava Demon's true purpose.

This is actually a mechanical puppet used to assist in the forging of spaceships!

A puppeteer who has been born with a spirit and possesses considerable skills in repair and construction!

But long ago, its spirit seemed to have been corrupted, becoming extremely violent and filled with murderous intent.

This is why, despite his enormous size and extremely strong defense, he only knows some simple punches and kicks.

It wasn't meant for fighting!

As a puppet for repair and construction, the Lava Demon God's defensive capabilities would make it difficult even for an ordinary Eternal God to destroy it, although its offensive power would be far inferior.

It's simply about being strong and fast.

Even so, it can still be regarded as a special Void God!

"As expected of a civilization capable of crafting spaceships, even a simple repair puppet possesses such strength!"

With this Lava Demon God, exploring the core of the spaceship will be much easier.

The Lava Demon God's role in repairing the puppet may have other purposes as well.

After carefully sensing it, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel delighted.

As a maintenance puppet, it might have some privileges to enter certain special areas inside the spaceship.

For example, the black elliptical sphere where the Machine Race Father God usually resides, a sphere comparable to the most powerful treasure, was most likely obtained in the core of the spaceship, in what appears to be the spaceship's maintenance room.

If we can get in and gain some privileges...

This is undoubtedly of great benefit to Qin Mu's plan to control the spaceship!

Even without special privileges, its powerful defenses make it much easier to explore the core of the spaceship.

"Let's go and subdue the other eight Lava Demons first!"

Immediately, Qin Mu steered the World Mother Nest toward another Lava Demon God.

Roar!Roar!Roar!

Within the God-Slaying Abyss, on the endless black earth, two four-armed lava demons, each billions of kilometers tall, hurled their fists at each other in a frenzied battle.

Then, a series of shadowy chains came from afar.

They tightly bound one of the Lava Demons whose eyes were filled with chaos, and with the help of the Lava Demons belonging to the Zerg Swarm, dragged it directly into the World Mother Nest.

With the help of a lava demon, things went much more smoothly this time.

The second one, the third one...

Qin Mu only stopped after all nine Lava Demons had been transformed into Zerg.

"Hmm? Is this double happiness?"

When the spirit of the last Lava Demon God was transformed into the Zerg, Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and his consciousness instantly descended to the underground palace of the Garden of Ten Thousand Spirits.

The Lava Demons were maintenance puppets, and after mastering their bodies, Qin Mu also studied some of the secret patterns within them.

It was these secret patterns that gave the research and deciphering of the insect hive tyrant in the treasure room some inspiration. After some attempts, they actually found a flaw in the treasure room's protective secret patterns!

"Haha, I was originally thinking that if we really couldn't open it, we could have the Lava Demon try to force it open with its power."

Qin Mu watched as the mysterious patterns on the bronze gate shimmered and rumbled continuously before the gate, which was a million kilometers tall, slowly opened, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on, let me see what good stuff is in this treasure vault!"
