Chapter 565: Cleaning the Creep

As the spores landed on the ground, a mysterious plant began to take root on the planet. This plant slowly covered the sea of sand, absorbing the heat in the air and the light shone down by the sun. Gradually, the planet began to cool down, no longer scorching.

Although this change was slow, it was effective. It was believed that before long, this planet would become a planet with a normal temperature.

"This is the Creep." Brain Bug Akira introduced, "It is something the Zerg use to change the environment. In scorching desert areas, it absorbs the sun's energy, and on cold planets, it absorbs the heat from the ground, slowly transforming the planet into one suitable for Zerg reproduction."

"At the same time, it also possesses the function of converting energy into a special liquid. This special liquid can provide food for the Zerg, ensuring that the Zerg do not starve to death before evolving into a complete biological chain."

"The Creep, even more exquisite than the Xel'Naga technology." Ye Nan looked at the scene scanned by the Intelligence Brain and exclaimed in admiration.

The Xel'Naga technology contained introductions and manufacturing methods for the Zerg Creep, but that type of Creep only provided food for the Zerg; wanting to change a planet's environment and regulate its climate was likely beyond its capability.

But thinking about it, the Zerg Overmind Harris came from another time and space just like him. As a Chosen One, he naturally came into contact with a lot of technology, and then using the technology he absorbed to change the Zerg's own technology didn't seem strange at all.

With the extension of the Creep, one-thousandth of the entire planet's land was covered by it. Many spores landed on the Creep, beginning to absorb the nutrients it provided and hatching. One cocoon after another stood on the Creep, looking like tumors growing on it, which was frightening to behold.

Boom! In the distant outer space, a brilliant firework erupted and then dissipated in the universe. This firework was captured by the Intelligence Brain.

"Warning, a spaceship has been destroyed in outer space." The Intelligence Brain issued a warning, and then an image shifted to outer space, attracting Ye Nan's gaze.

One could only see two spaceships, one large and one small, standing in space. The small spaceship was continuously firing at the large one, while the large spaceship erupted with countless fireworks, brilliant and gorgeous.

"Which civilization is at war now?" Ye Nan's brow furrowed immediately. First sand bugs, then the Zerg, and now spaceships. All these things were gathered together. He felt as if that Fate Contract he tore up was playing tricks; otherwise, how could he be so unlucky?

Very quickly, the large spaceship in the image docked with the small one, and then an escape pod fled from inside. There was no need to guess; the large spaceship had been occupied, and the people inside had fled.

"Intelligence Brain, estimate the landing point of the escape pod. Hancock, go and bring this escape pod back. I want to see who is inside; perhaps I can absorb their technological power to strengthen the Space-Time Empire." Ye Nan licked his lips, feeling slightly excited. Having annexed the human Federation and Xel'Naga technology, he had tasted the sweetness and naturally wanted to devour this alien civilization that had delivered itself to his doorstep.

He believed that as long as he found the survivors, he could obtain the intelligence he wanted.

"Fine." Hancock agreed with joy. He had stayed here long enough; the long space travel made him feel very bored, and he urgently needed to find some fun.

The two rude aliens last time were purely schemers who didn't dare to confront him directly, only playing small tricks in the dark.

Like the wind, Hancock disappeared from the spaceship. Known as Superman, he possessed the ability to survive in space. Not to mention this planet was being transformed by the Zerg Creep, even if it weren't, he could come and go freely.

After sending Hancock out, Ye Nan refocused his attention on the Zerg hatching. In just a while, these Zerg had all hatched. They came out of the cocoons and turned into larvae.

"Larvae are the foundation of the Zerg. Whether it's low-level warriors or high-level Mothers of Aliens, or even us Brain Bugs, all evolve from larvae. The specific evolution depends on the energy consumed. Generally speaking, the stronger the combat power of the bug, the more energy it needs to evolve. Of course, us Brain Bugs are the exception."

"In reality, the evolution of Brain Bugs is uncertain. Among ten million larvae, it's not certain that one Brain Bug with intelligence can evolve."

Speaking of this, Brain Bug Akira was also proud. It didn't have powerful strength, nor did it have the courage to face death without fear, but it had intelligence. Precisely because of intelligence, it could control millions of Zerg, letting these Zerg charge and fight for it, while it only needed to hide in the back and enjoy the fruits of victory.

Counting the entire Zerg race, there were only a few thousand Brain Bugs like them.

Don't look at this number of thousands as a lot; in reality, when spread across the entire Zerg race, it didn't even count as a hair. One must know that the number of Zerg, even the Zerg Overmind Harris himself, didn't know how many there were. He only knew that even if the local civilizations of the galaxy cleared out bugs planet by planet, there was still no sign of them being cut off; instead, they became more and more numerous, filling the entire galaxy. Whether it was land, ocean, or sky, or even space, they were all filled with the presence of the Zerg. Even the most powerful weapon of human civilization, the black hole, had to drink hatred and disappear under the sea of bugs.

Precisely because of this, Akira was proud of its race and felt honored by its race.

"However..." In an instant, Akira's expression dimmed. As the command class of the Zerg, it had never thought that one day it would act like a dog, fawning over and pleasing others.

"However, in fact, Master is also very powerful."

When Ye Nan used the Universe Crusher, it had seen everything. Even the Overmind and that mysterious woman couldn't resist it. That kind of power was simply terrifying, even if it was only a wisp of the Overmind's consciousness.

"Larvae, huh?" Ye Nan's gaze was deep. Looking at these larvae, he had an impulse in his heart, an impulse to stomp all these larvae to death, but he suppressed this impulse.

"Exterminating the bugs on one planet, for the Zerg, wouldn't hurt their bones or muscles at all. Doing so would not only fail to strike a blow to the Zerg but would instead lead to my own exposure."

"If the Zerg Overmind Harris knows I went to meet the Unicron, I'm afraid he will start having wild thoughts again."

After thinking it over, Ye Nan decided to observe, but the bugs around here needed to be cleaned up. "Superman Clark, clean up all the Zerg around the spaceship for me."

Cleaning up the bugs on the entire planet would attract the attention of the Zerg Overmind Harris, but cleaning up some bugs wouldn't. Even if it did attract the attention of the Zerg Overmind Harris, he wasn't worried, because he wasn't the one doing it. He only needed to hide himself carefully, and he wouldn't be discovered.

Superman Clark came out of the spaceship and saw the situation outside, his brow furrowing slightly.

One could only see that on the sand outside the spaceship and on the top of the spaceship, the Creep was growing, and bugs were crawling around on it, which was disgusting.

But fortunately, the number of Zerg that landed this time wasn't large, only tens of millions, and the bugs around the spaceship were very few. Very quickly, Superman cleaned up these bugs.

It was just that the Creep was a bit troublesome. He couldn't just do it himself and pull these Creeps off; he was also very resistant to such things.

Thinking for a moment, Superman Clark looked at the Creep, and two super heat vision beams were fired from his eyes, landing on the Creep. As soon as they made contact, smoke rose from the Creep, and sparks flew everywhere.

Theoretically, these Creeps could absorb the sun's energy and the heat spread in the air, and absorb the heat from deep underground, so they shouldn't be so fragile. However, the temperature of Superman Clark's super heat vision beams was as high as 6100 degrees Celsius. The moment the Creep absorbed the energy of the super heat vision beams, it would be burned by them, turning into a ball of flame.

It was just like the "Star-Sucking Great Art" of Ren Woxing, the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer." The Star-Sucking Great Art could absorb others' internal energy, but once someone poured all their internal energy into it, the Star-Sucking Great Art would not only be useless but would instead harm oneself.

The situation now was just like that. Facing the incoming super heat vision beams, the Creep only absorbed a tiny bit before being submerged by the subsequent super heat vision beams, becoming a ball of flame.

Superman Clark's gaze scanned around, and super heat vision beams were emitted from his eyes continuously. Very quickly, the Creep on the sand around the spaceship became piles of burning Creep, and even the sand underneath was burned into pieces of crystal-clear glass.

"If I don't be a superhero in the future, I can go sell glass." Superman Clark laughed at himself.

After cleaning up these Creeps, Superman Clark put away his super heat vision beams and began to use his hands to pull off the Creep covering the spaceship.

His super heat vision beams were highly penetrating. If he released them at the spaceship, while burning the Creep, the spaceship itself would also be cut and melted, so he had to use his hands to clean up these Creeps directly.

"I'm back." Hancock said loudly, holding two robots, one big and one small. As soon as he saw Superman Clark, he laughed loudly, "When did our Superman Clark become a gardener?" (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
