Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"escape!"

Zhuo had completely lost the desire to fight at this time.

His figure turned into a meteor and shot out, shuttling through the endless river of stars. He wanted to escape from here, run back to the company, and spread the news of the return of the Zerg!

And he saw that the Zerg obeyed Ash's orders, so Ash was most likely the remnant of the breeding!

hum!

Waves of electronic-like sounds were emitted by a mysterious force, causing Zhuo's eardrums to hurt. In a trance, the gigantic figure of the Star-Breaking King Worm had caught up with him and crashed into him with a bang.

It's so fast!

Zhuo couldn't escape at all, and could only fight and retreat, and was forced to fight with the Star-Breaking King Worm.

In the void, the battle between the two stirred up a terrible energy storm under the starry sky. The aftermath of the collision turned into air waves and rushed forward, shattering all the meteorites along the way.

Rumble~~

This battle in the vast starry sky is as bright as fireflies in the dark night.

Ash followed slowly behind. He did not join the battle. The first purpose of this battle was to kill Zhuo, and the second purpose was to test the upper limit of the Star Crusher's ability.

The attack strength of this big bug is comparable to Zhuo Shi's, but its recovery ability is really abnormal!

And, the speed is also extremely fast.

When flying, it almost blends into the starry sky, and its speed is much faster than that of ordinary pseudo-commanders.

Coupled with its inherently strong defensive capabilities.

There is a reason why this guy became one of the most terrifying existences during the locust plague period. Now that he has been replicated by Ruan Mei, although his strength has not been fully reproduced, his recovery ability has become much stronger under the power of the sand of life.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the influence of the original power, Ash would not be able to win in a fight with it.

at this time.

The battle between the Star-Breaking King Bug and Zhuo finally ended on a deserted planet.

Seeing that Zhuo was unable to escape, he launched a final counterattack. He mobilized all the strength in his body and poured it into the planet, causing a violent explosion of the planet's core power. Finally, with a loud 'boom', the planet completed the entire process from silence to activity and then to explosion.

The terrifying power released by the planet's explosion swept across the Jacob galaxy. Fortunately, it was relatively small in size, and with Ash's obstruction, it failed to trigger a larger energy storm.

When the explosion died down, the planet turned into countless broken pieces. Amidst the energy released from the core, the Star-Breaking King Worm was covered by the power of the Life Sand, which helped it withstand this terrifying blow.

Although the surface injuries looked serious, they did not hurt any vital parts. These superficial injuries quickly recovered due to its recovery ability.

Somewhere on the shattered planet, the exhausted Zhuo was completely desperate after seeing this scene.

I can't beat him, I can't move him, and I can't escape.

"Zhuo, a key member of the company's marketing department and a P46-level member." Ash slowly crossed the Star Stone and came to Zhuo. "I never expected to meet such a big fish like you. It seems Schneider is very determined to take me down."

"Yash, you..." Zhuo coughed heavily a few times, "Why can you control the insect swarm? Does your power come from breeding?"

"Who knows? Whether it's breeding, abundance, or even preservation, what power do I have? What's your business? Blame it on the company's excessive appetite. They want everything, but in the end, they get nothing." Ash said calmly, "Tell me, where can I find Schneider? Tell me everything about him, and I'll let you go."

Zhuo was silent for a moment: "Will you let me go?"

"Of course, I have no grudge against you. I'm looking for Schneider." Ash said coldly, "Hurry up, this is a deal, but I don't have that much patience."

"I...tell you."

Zhuo finally chose to compromise. He possessed great power and potential, and even if he did not work for the company, he could still live a comfortable life in the galaxy.

It would just mean being wanted by the company, but so what? No matter how powerful a company is, its influence cannot cover the entire galaxy.

Not to mention, his strength also makes the company wary.

Although he felt a little sorry for Schneider and it might save his life, Zhuo still chose "for himself".

"That guy rarely shows up. Even I usually only contact him via interstellar phone. But he told me that the next mission target is Pinocchio. If Schneider wants to become a member of the board of directors, he must make achievements. If Yalilo's mission fails, Pinocchio will become his only hope."

"Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that he'll take other actions against Yalilo later. Those guys in the Strategic Investment Department are pressing hard. Originally, Yalilo should have been their responsibility."

Zhuo wasn't lying. Schneider was famously secretive within the company. In fact, it wasn't just him; the heads of the seven major departments within the company were all very secretive. For example, Diamond, usually only had his ten subordinates, Stone Heart, handle matters.

In order to survive, Zhuo continued to tell a lot of information that Schneider had not made public. He even knew where some of the latter's private assets were. It was obvious that Schneider really trusted Zhuo.

"I swear to Cun Hu, I absolutely did not lie!"

"Yes, I believe it." Ash nodded, "Then according to the agreement, I will not kill you."

"Really?"

Zhuo's eyes lit up, "Yash, I'm very sorry about what happened this time. Don't worry, I won't appear in front of you again after I leave!"

He added in his mind before reaching the level of the emissary.

"Well, go ahead." Ash nodded.

Seeing that he seemed to have really let him go, Zhuo immediately mobilized his strength to fly out, but just before he left the broken star body not far away, he was bitten hard by a big mouth that fell from the sky!

Click~~

The crisp sound of power shattering was heard from the mouthparts of the Star-Breaking King Worm. The exhausted Zhuo had no room to resist and was eaten alive by the King Worm!

"I told you I'd let you go, but I didn't say Xiao Jin would let you go."

Ash muttered to himself before turning and flying towards the space station.

"Xiao Jin, let's go."

...

When Ash returned to the space station, the company's remaining two warships, including the flagship, had become space junk.

As for those on the battleship, they were all devoured by the swarm of insects.

zizi~

"Ash, what's going on? Is it resolved?"

The voice of the Black Tower sounded again.

She provided technical support in this battle. Ash didn't know what means this guy used, but he almost blocked the signals of half of the galaxy, leaving the company's fleet isolated and helpless.

However, the main reason why Ash did this was that he didn't want the relationship between the Zerg and him to be exposed too early. Even if a Zerg appeared in the Jacob galaxy, he would generally not be associated with the Zerg.

"It's solved. Zhuo is dead."

"Huh? You were able to kill him? Is it related to the special energy body that appeared in the Jacob system? I think I detected the emergence of the Zerg."

"Well...you should ask Ruan Mei about this."

"Sure enough! You two guys really did something weird without telling me. Damn, a swarm of insects! Ruan Mei actually bred a swarm of insects. Is she trying to start a locust plague around the world?!"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"That depends on how ambitious you are, but I know you won't settle... Never mind, I'll go find her now!"

The terrifying nature of an insect swarm lies in its scale.

The reason why the global locust plague is so terrifying is that the disaster swept across the entire galaxy, and countless planetary civilizations were destroyed in the disaster.

If Ash uses the Zerg to fight, the Zerg, which grows stronger as its ambitions expand, might really cause a locust plague to reappear in the universe.

If that time really comes, Shurima’s enemy will not be the Interstellar Peace Company, but the entire galactic forces.

On this point, Heita saw further than Ruan Mei, who might not have even thought about such things.

After the communication was disconnected, Ash did not contact Ruan Mei, but returned to the space station.

The entire space station with more than 4,000 people and more than 10,000 automatic robots was almost completely destroyed. The company's layout in Jacob was not long, so not many people stayed here. Some of them went to the planet under development - Savantia.

"King Ash!"

When he walked into the command center, Shiluwa and others immediately stood up and called out respectfully.

Their faces were filled with excitement.

Just now, they had accomplished an incredible feat: Yalilo, setting foot in space for the first time, had successfully captured the space station and dealt a devastating blow to the company's fleet. All of this success and honor was brought to them by King Ash.

"King Ash." Cocolia walked in from outside. "All company employees in the entire space station have been cleared out. Four of the Imperial Guards were injured, but the impact is not serious."

Although the Imperial Guards failed to become complete Ascendants, their recovery ability is still terrifying. As long as the injury is not fatal, they can heal on their own without any treatment.

In this attack, the initial firepower of the space station was blocked by Ash. The company's security and automatic robots were unable to cause fatal damage to the well-equipped Imperial Guards.

"Very good, gather everyone, take away everything you can, and blow up the space station before returning."

"King Ash, won't you come back with us?"

"I have things to do."

The space station cannot be taken away, and people from the company will definitely come again. With their strength, even if they can defend it temporarily, they will be caught in endless battles.

After all, the company is too large. Only by returning to Yalilo and with the technical layout of the Black Tower can the company's fleet find it difficult to attack.

And if Schneider unilaterally breaks the contract, Black Tower will have more reasons to challenge the company. It will then depend on how determined the company is and whether it is willing to support Schneider in continuing to fight against them.

However, Ash felt that there was a high probability that they would still support it, because just now another message came from the Black Tower that the sun disk on Yalilo was "stolen" by people arranged by Schneider.

Because it was an intentional arrangement, Beloberg suffered no casualties. However, Bronya, as the chief guardian, felt very uneasy and guilty because she failed to protect Beloberg's sacred object.

Ash did not tell Bronya about his plan, at least no one on Beloberg would know until the plan was successfully implemented.

At this time, after leaving the space station, Ash stepped onto the Star Crusher King Bug and led the swarm of bugs to the beautiful planet Savantia in the Jacob galaxy.

...

Savantia, an inconspicuous planet in the Jacob galaxy.

Due to a natural disaster, the planet's population is small, but its resources are extremely abundant. According to data collected by the Black Tower, after the great unification of Savantia, the entire planet is now ruled by the empire called "Modria". They have signed a century-long strategic cooperation agreement with the company to jointly develop the planet's resources.

The company provides technology and capital, and the empire provides manpower and resources, achieving a so-called win-win situation.

Modria also announced that it had joined the company system. Under the leadership of the current emperor, the entire empire launched the Galaxy Lotto sales by the market development department. This was also one of the conditions for the empire to reach a cooperation with the company. After all, looking at the entire galaxy, there are countless planets that want to obtain the qualification to join the Galaxy Lotto.

The people of Modria hold on to their beautiful hopes and believe that the Empire will eventually fly into space under the leadership of the company, and that the Modrians will become part of the galaxy and be active in the eyes of many forces.

This is the company's promise to them.

Therefore, at this time, Savantia was enveloped by a booming development boom and was completely unaware of the swarm of insects descending from space.

As the Zerg approached the Empire, the company employees who built the country's defense system finally noticed them, but it was too late.

Dense swarms of golden bugs flew into the city-states of the empire, and began to devour everything in front of them under the command of the Star-Breaking King Bug. The power absorbed by this bug king was continuously converted into bug eggs. The newborn bugs did not need too much time to hatch, and then more new bugs began to thrive using the things on the planet Savantia as "nutrients".

The entire planet suddenly turned into a huge insect nest!

Miserable screams emanated from the imperial city of the empire. The shadow of death instantly enveloped every citizen of the empire. Stimulated by the blood, they fell into madness and loss.

Faced with the Zerg's attack, the still developing empire had no power to resist!

The weapons brought by the company were not even as powerful as an interstellar battleship. Soon the sounds of resistance in the battle disappeared, and only one sound remained in the entire empire, that of death!

"Fight back! Fight back!"

"My Empire!!"

The Emperor of Modria looked at everything in front of him with grief. His wife, son, and his people were all being slaughtered by the Zerg!

But the company he trusted so much and the great economic giant he admired were helpless.

The guardian of the empire, Creper, was also silent at this time.

In the sky, Ash stood on the back of the Star Crusher, watching everything calmly.

War and death are indispensable in the process of conquest. Even though countless lives are dying at this moment, he tells himself in his heart that there are no innocent people on the battlefield.

...

On the tenth day after the arrival of the Zerg, no living creatures other than the Zerg could be seen on the surface of the entire planet Savantia!

One hundred and thirty million lives, plus other animals, all perished under the devouring of the insect swarm!

At least that's the surface.

For the first time, Ash witnessed the terrifying power of the Zerg, their near-infinite reproduction, capable of hatching even more insects as long as they were given enough energy. Throughout, the Star-Breaking King Worm remained silent, acting like a ruthless reproductive machine, absorbing the planet's nutrients to incubate its swarm.

The destruction of Savantia shocked everyone in the company. The appearance of the Zerg was even more shocking than the destruction of the space station. The destruction of the space station, fleet and development planet, plus the "disappearance" of a powerful pseudo-commander-level fighter, caused huge losses to the entire market development department.

at this time.

At the virtual meeting of the Development Department.

As projections fell one after another, they sat at the conference table with nervous expressions, their eyes fixed on the figure directly above them - the department head, Schneider.
