Chapter 833

The young man glanced at it and said with an unchanging expression, "This is the Terra Zerg, which has quite a notorious reputation outside the universe. They are very capable when it comes to psionics."

"It's likely that when Jace and the others were taking delivery, they didn't want to pay but still wanted the goods, leading to a small conflict. The Zerg invaded the base, but it looks like it's been handled."

It's been handled?!!!

Everyone in the group complained in their hearts simultaneously.

It seems Chaldea's reputation outside the universe might not be much better than this Terra Zerg. Could they be some kind of black-hearted, evil organization that everyone wants to beat up?

450. Deceiving the Gods, Usurping Their Power!

Although they didn't recognize the "Terra Zerg."

They did, however, recognize the Zerg from *StarCraft* and the Tyranids from *Warhammer 40K*.

*StarCraft* was released in 1998, and the *Warhammer 40K* cesspool worldview was released even earlier, in 1987.

Even though this world's history suffered the Second Impact in September 2000—an extinction-level disaster that had a massive impact on history—both had already attained a certain level of influence by then.

Therefore, by the current year of 2015, *Warhammer 40K* had just updated to its seventh edition half a year ago, and *StarCraft* was a memory for a generation.

The Zerg within them were all symbols of terror and taboo.

Mechanized troop production, symbols of absolute rationality, infinite evolutionary potential—in any cesspool worldview, they were a natural disaster no one wanted to provoke.

But...

The group followed him around a corner, and the next moment, they fell silent.

In the quite wide silver metal corridor, even though the main bodies had clearly been cleared away, various blue and green insectoid cuticle fragments stretched from beneath their feet to the end of their vision.

Dense and countless—heaven knows how many Zerg of how many species had perished here; it was completely a Zerg slaughterhouse.

Shredded, evaporated by flames, purified by light, frozen and shattered by absolute zero...

The viscous green fluid flowing out gathered into an ocean, a miserable sight.

"It was intentional. They must have intentionally lured the Zerg in and then slaughtered them..."

Kaji Ryoji whispered.

Why did this Terra Zerg suddenly make people feel a bit pitiful?

Like a little cabbage being bullied by a tyrant...

Looking at the bloodstains that had already left their bodies yet still radiated a heart-palpitating aura, Katsuragi Misato fiercely shook off this absurd thought.

A terrifying race that heaven knows how many galaxies it had devoured did not deserve her pity.

It would be better to pity themselves, the weak and unlucky mud-legged locals of this world, than to pity the "well-fed and well-clothed" Zerg lords.

"You've all seen it; we had a small misunderstanding with the Terra Zerg."

The young man held up two fingers and gestured; everyone felt as if they saw the universe between his fingers.

"So, if you encounter them outside the universe in the future, remember to run immediately. The Terra Zerg's strength is not bad; they have hollowed out multiple small and medium-sized universes as nests."

"Although most are not of a high level, their numbers exceed the limits of calculation. Therefore, the four great Overminds that serve as their racial gods are quite capable. Even Xiao Liu in her normal state is not the opponent of any one of them at their peak, and they can descend through any single Zerg at any time."

Did "Xiao Liu" refer to the six-winged angel that clearly looked like the core of the Angel Legion earlier?

A chill ran through everyone's hearts.

The one with the level-twelve psionic fluctuation?

Does that mean they already have a super-strong mortal enemy before they've even gone out?

Also, are we sure Chaldea is the protagonist faction saving world after world? Are we sure we aren't some black-hearted, evil existence conquering world after world?

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much."

Behind them, the resolute man known as "Gu" was releasing brilliant light from his palms, cleaning up the blood and fragments containing alien power bit by bit.

The young man before them walked into a silver divine-patterned door: "We have rich experience in dealing with this type of universe."

Everyone followed subconsciously.

It was as if they had broken through a thin film; what appeared before them was an unimaginably open space.

Exhibition hall architecture as magnificent as a giant's temple stretched from before their eyes to the horizon, with various giant god mechs, or huge monsters, or items of various different styles displayed within.

Standing beneath them, they were compared to mere ants.

"Subspace?!!!"

Akagi Ritsuko and Kaji Ryoji looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

Opening a subspace is a completely different matter from a spatial teleportation system.

This world's technology is quite lopsided; civilian use is relatively backward compared to the 2015 of an average Earth, but military use is simply sky-high.

They naturally also had ambitions regarding spatial teleportation and even subspace.

But they soon discovered that even though technology like annihilation weapons—which could be called the ultimate of matter—had been developed, let alone subspace technology, the more they understood spatial teleportation, the more desperate they became.

"Humanity's hundred-year lifespan is too short. The golden learning time is only a short thirty-some years, which is too insignificant in the vast field of spatial science."

"Let alone researching it, even if you learn it directly, it's hard to grasp even the fur in a lifetime, and the subspace field..."

Akagi Ritsuko looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.

If spatial teleportation technology could still be guessed at like a blind man touching an elephant, subspace was completely beyond the scope of understanding...

Katsuragi Misato silently looked at the mysterious, pale blue patterns on the silver wall—patterns she couldn't understand at all, but which made her tremble from soul to body.

It was hard to achieve technologically.

But relying on this mystery called magecraft to overtake on a bend seemed not impossible.

At this moment.

Everyone paused; before them were four giant stone statues, each a dozen stories tall.

These were typical Egyptian-style divine statues.

Two were statues of the jackal-headed god, symbolizing the Egyptian main god Anubis, while the other two were crouching sphinxes, the incarnation of the sky god Horus on earth.

All four giant divine statues were carved entirely from ancient marble, even covered with the traces of time, full of vicissitudes, with at least several thousand years of history.

It wouldn't be surprising if they were dug out of some pyramid on Earth.

But...

Everyone looked up to see that the two jackal-headed giant statues were both holding enlarged twelve-barreled machine guns, even wearing bandoliers, with a Middle Eastern war god style.

And the two sphinxes were the same, each carrying a phase cannon larger than their own bodies; the style was so strange that it left people in deep silence.

The young man stood before a huge display case, standing with his hands behind his back: "To travel between worlds and face disasters capable of destroying worlds, the most important thing is to use your brains and learn to leverage your advantages. What do you think Chaldea's advantage is?"

"Wisdom?"

Katsuragi Misato whispered.

"Emotions!"

Kitahara Iori said hurriedly.

He knew this question; he had heard Brother Luo Shu say it before...

The young man glanced at him: "It's having many methods. As modern people, your thinking is flexible. The Zerg are the ultimate in bloodline genetics, and their evolutionary speed is unparalleled. As an investigator facing them with a mortal body, you would soon be absorbed, and all your advantages would be surpassed."

He pointed at the stone statues: "These four statues have been bathed in divine breath for thousands of years before the gods Horus and Anubis, and have long since birthed divinity. They can be completely regarded as the incarnations of the two Egyptian main gods on earth."

"Their material toughness surpasses all known alloys; even gods would need to use divine authority to break them."

"And these loaded Chaldea third-edition twelve-barreled magic tearing cannons are magic cannons capable of tearing through all material and energy existences, capable of clearing a battlefield in an instant."

"I also edited virtual intelligence for them and input over 104,000 combat styles, making them an all-around squad. Even if placed in an average high-energy world, they would be worthy of the title of war god."

"Of course, activation requires the altar below, which can link across dimensions to the main bodies of the two main gods in the main world."

"I have reinforced them with magecraft, enough to deceive Horus and Anubis into thinking that the Pharaoh has encountered a disaster, causing them to bestow divine power."

"These four stone statues can immediately transform into killing machines more efficient and tireless than any human."

Everyone: "..."

No, wait, virtual intelligence, machine guns?

Does this stuff really go with incarnations of Egyptian great gods like Anubis and Horus?

And those like Kaji Ryoji who were quick to react looked at each other, noticing the key point.

Do the gods of these various civilizations' mythologies really exist in other worlds?

And they can even borrow... oh, is it swindling their divine power?

Then the question arises, what kind of existence is the one who accomplished all this?

Are you sure it wasn't because of holding a grudge that he deliberately chose Egyptian gods like Anubis to usurp divine power? They remember in the Bible's Book of Exodus...

Uh, no, definitely not!

Everyone followed along obediently with lowered heads.

"And they are essentially dead objects, stone statues. The Zerg gain no benefits from facing them; this is undoubtedly the best weapon against natural disasters like the Zerg."
