Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 94 Secret Method

Compared to humans, the Zerg Queen's talents are far superior.

Qin Mu mastered the Fire Domain simply by studying the inherited fire-attribute insectoid warrior genes.

Such talent surpasses that of humans, and even the Golden Horned Beast and the Zerg Queen!

Later, when Luo Feng seized his third clone, he considered the Zerg.

It's not just a consideration; in fact, if the third avatar is a hundred times stronger than the Golden Horned Beast, for example, if a Zerg Queen is chosen as the third avatar, once it becomes immortal, it can create a large number of immortal Zerg warriors, known as invincible below the Venerable level, sweeping away many immortal legions.

Whether the Zerg Queen's talent is a hundred times greater than that of the Golden Horned Beast is hard to say, but it does show how strong the Zerg Queen's talent is.

After obtaining the Zerg inheritance, Qin Mu gained a deeper understanding of the Zerg Queen's talents from many secret techniques.

After comparing numerous secret techniques, Qin Mu selected one from among the special techniques called "Heart of the Swarm".

Special techniques are not necessarily stronger than ordinary techniques; they are just techniques that only the Zerg can practice.

Heart of the Swarm is a special arcane technique that allows you to control Zerg warriors and manipulate their souls; it is one of the most powerful of all special arcane techniques.

The secret technique consists of four levels, and its effects are simple and direct.

The first level allows for the perfect control of 100,000 Zerg warriors in a combined attack.

The second level allows for the perfect control of millions of Zerg warriors in a combined attack.

The third level allows for the perfect control of millions of Zerg warriors in a combined attack.

The fourth layer, in theory, is capable of controlling countless Zerg warriors.

Only the Zerg Queen, with her powerful soul talent and ten thousand soul essences, could possibly cultivate such a secret technique. Other races would not even be able to begin, let alone cultivate it.

Qin Mu was able to cultivate because he possessed that special insect egg and became the ruler of the insect swarm.

The starting point was a perfect combined attack of 100,000 Zerg warriors. When the Zerg Queen, who possessed the essence of 10,000 souls, was born, she could perfectly control 10,000 Zerg warriors without cultivating any secret techniques.

This is talent, a talent that other races wouldn't even dare to dream of.

This perfect combined attack, unlike Qin Mu's previous crude attack, perfectly unleashed the power of all the Zerg warriors. This power included physical strength, soul power, and more, all converged into a single point!

However, the cultivation of "Heart of the Swarm" is extremely demanding. Even the Zerg Queen usually only cultivates it to the second level, which allows her to control millions of Zerg warriors to launch perfect attacks.

But this is only the second level. When the Zerg Queen was a Realm Lord, as long as there were enough resources, she could hatch a legion of Zerg warriors at the peak of the Realm Lord level. Under their combined attack, even an immortal god who had been crowned as a king would be doomed if he was hit.

Therefore, for the Zerg Queen, defeating the immortal gods who were crowned kings during the World Lord era was a routine operation.

If one can cultivate to the next level, reaching the tens of millions level, or even the legendary fourth level.

They are probably comparable to the Supreme Beings of the Universe.

Of course, let alone the fourth level, even the third level is extremely rare in the entire history of the Zerg, and the fourth level is just a legend.

Besides manipulating Zerg warriors, Heart of the Swarm's arcane arts also involve many spiritual applications. One of these techniques utilizes the Zerg's powerful computing capabilities to invade and enslave the Mech race.

If they can invade and enslave even mechanical races, then ordinary intelligent life forms are even less likely to be affected.

In addition to Heart of the Swarm, Qin Mu also chose a spatial secret technique called Spatial Control.

The secret technique of "Spatial Control" is even more special, as it is mainly a secret technique for teleportation and spatial sealing.

What is the insect swarm most afraid of when besieging a powerful opponent?

If the opponent is too fast or has the ability to teleport, the swarm's power is relatively dispersed. If they cannot attack the opponent, they are easily defeated one by one by the enemy.

The secret technique "Space Control" can seal off space, suppress the enemy's speed, and force the enemy to engage the entire swarm in direct combat. While under the seal, the Zerg warriors can teleport.

Therefore, this is a secret technique that combines the characteristics of escaping, attacking, and blocking.

"Spatial Control" has three levels.

The first level is called "Locked Void".

The second level is called "Prison Suppression".

The third level is called "Control".

The arcane arts like "Spatial Mastery" are different from special arcane arts like "Heart of the Swarm" that rely on talent; they mainly depend on one's own understanding and practice.

Unlike the secret arts of other races, "Space Control" can be used in conjunction with Zerg warriors, or, once mastered, can be used by Zerg warriors as well.

The first level, "Lock the Void," once mastered, can reduce the enemy's speed by half and increase your own speed by double, whether it's flight speed or burst speed.

For example, a powerful individual who could originally fly at a speed of 1000 kilometers per second could have his speed reduced to 500 kilometers per second once Qin Mu mastered the first level of "Space Control".

With one speed decreasing and the other doubling, it's easy to be surrounded by the swarm of insects, and even the strongest can be worn down to death!

This is just the beginning. Once mastered, one can directly seal off or even freeze space!

Want to escape by teleporting using speed?

Directly blocking space allows you to teleport, reduces your flight speed, and forces you to fight the entire swarm head-on, perfectly leveraging the swarm's advantages.

Whether used for fighting, escaping, or pursuing, it is an extremely powerful secret technique.

Moreover, this spatial control is a method of learning and comprehending spatial rules from the shallow to the deep. As long as one follows the cultivation path in the secret method, one can almost always comprehend the laws of space.

"That's true depth!"

Qin Mu sighed, realizing that although the Zerg were quite different from what he had imagined, he had to admit that the Zerg Queen, who had devoured the universe, possessed incredibly powerful talent and foundation in the realm of soul and laws.

Use "Space Control" to seal off space, preventing enemies from escaping, and then use "Heart of the Swarm" to mobilize a swarm of insects to attack. With this combo, it's easy to defeat not only opponents of the same level, but also those of higher levels.

"Once I obtain the Golden Horned Beast's genes, and use it as the core in conjunction with ordinary Zerg units, our combat power will be formidable."

In this universe, the Zerg can only hatch small Zerg, but Qin Mu's Zerg swarm is not like that!

"And there are methods for debugging Zerg warriors."

Although the Zerg in this universe are only good at tuning small Zerg units and have almost no ability to evolve or mutate, they still have merit in the genetic modification of Zerg warriors, which is at least much better than Qin Mu's own exploration.

Of the 108 Zerg gene-modification methods, most are related to laws. For example, one method called "Flame Zerg Codex" is mainly for creating Zerg warriors who are skilled in the laws of fire.

After comprehending it, not only can the genes be adjusted, but special patterns can also be engraved on the bodies of Zerg warriors, allowing them to master the laws of fire.

Besides the "Flame Insect Codex", there are also the "Gold Insect Codex", the "Wood Insect Codex", and so on.

However, Qin Mu did not choose these gene modulation methods that had obvious law attributes.

He chose the most basic and oldest of these 108 gene modulation methods, the "Primitive Insect Codex".

In the tradition, the "Primitive Insect Codex" is the most primitive method of all gene modulation, and all other gene modulation methods are based on the "Primitive Insect Codex" and have been continuously improved and developed.

While it may not be as effective as other debugging methods for Zerg warriors that rely on a single rule, the Primal Zerg Codex is applicable to all Zerg units and has no rule-based limitations.

This best suits Qin Mu's needs. Although Qin Mu is of the fire attribute, it does not mean that he can only comprehend the laws of fire. It just means that comprehending the laws of fire will be easier for him.

Qin Mu never imagined that he would turn his swarm into a race that only possessed a single or partial law.

Let's choose these three for now.

Qin Mu nodded in satisfaction. The more secret techniques one has, the better; rather, one must master and be proficient in them.

Mastering any secret technique requires a significant amount of time. Whether human or insectoid, no matter how talented one is, their time and energy are limited.

Each of these three secret methods requires a great deal of time and extensive practice.

Qin Mu understood the principle that one shouldn't bite off more than one can chew.

新年 快乐
