"The Dove has decent mobility, but it's quite like dancing on the edge of a knife. If an 8th rank Insect Race showed up, I'm afraid it would have to come back for revival," Qin Muye said with some concern.
"Although they are low level, their genes are encrypted at a high level. Indeed, they are a race specialized in evolution."
"Wasn't the Super-Space Transmission Channel unusable before?" Qin Muye asked with some confusion.
"Insect Nest Thought Network? Although I've isolated it, there are still remnants."
"They're all low-level Insects. It seems the high-rank Insects on the Insect Nest Planet still look down on us, as, to this point, they've only sent reinforcements instead of handling us themselves."
"And there's Ghost Energy... "Qin Muye couldn't help but remember the Alien Insect from 'Starcraft,' and he just hoped it wouldn't involve other settings like the Heavenly Net."
"Hiss—wait, if that's the case, the Great Nether Dynasty is probably going to be chaotic," Qin Muye suddenly realized.
"Forget it, whether it's chaotic or not, if they mess up, I'll just kill them. But I can also do the opposite," Qin Muye didn't care whether the Great Nether Dynasty was in chaos or not; he was figuring out how to deal with the Insect Nest Planet now.
"Now that the Insect Race has broken the world barriers, some rules have changed; this was just a stroke of brilliance from Headquarters, and unexpectedly, it actually worked."
"It must be that the Insects that came aren't very capable; the utilization rate of the formed Insect Nest Thought Network is too low, even worse than the Demon Insect Dominator."
"So that's it. As low-level Insects, although they possess Ghost Energy, they can't use it; it's more used for control and protection."
"Originating from the mind's spiritual energy, it somewhat resembles a Magician's Divine Thought; however, the Magician is more pure, solely spiritual power, not from the mind."
"Headquarters suspects it's due to the world protection mechanism causing spatial coordinates to blur. It could also be due to the rules of the 'Lord Era' itself. We are Lords, sitting within the server, and without specific measures, we cannot reach the server's surface, which is the world barriers."
"Master, rest assured, Hercules and others have been well-prepared. If they dare let an 8th rank Insect come and intercept, there will be 10 8th rank Titans bringing you back the corpse of this Insect as a specimen," Black Hand said.
The Dove was called back and went through the Super-Space Transmission Channel for targeted strikes and guerrilla killings, directly destroying the excavation equipment of the Insect Nest Planet.
The epidemic's long-range attack caused quite a panic on the Insect Nest Planet, even affecting the Insects fighting on the front lines against the Spirit Monsters.
Such as Clan uprisings.
After all, having experienced high-level micromanagement, encountering such rough operations was indeed a bit uncomfortable.
However, Qin Muye was actually also in danger, because there were still two crises, high-dimensional demons and final reincarnation, that hadn't erupted yet; as for when they would, he didn't know, he only knew the aftermath of the eruption.
Not only that, but also he was trying to carve out more breaches.
There were quite a few Insect factions within the Insect Nest Planet, each forming a power, that is, a Clan.
The Clans of the Insect Nest aren't all unified for the Insect Race, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a special power as Clan.
From some of the Insects captured alive and tortured, a lot of information was extracted; at least, the commanding Insects were definitely not weak.
From the many responses of the Insect Nest Planet, initially they did not see his raid as a threat.
The opponent's idea was very simple; Qin Muye could see it clearly: it was nothing more than dragging out the battle line to exhaust Qin Muye, as the Insects had a numerical advantage.
And the Evil Demons in the Spirit Realm were born from various emotions and were essentially a bunch of lunatics, so the impact was not significant.
Moreover, in the Endless Abyss, there is more than one Spirit Monster Hero cavalry like the Dove, it's just that the Dove has the most experience. It could also be replaced later for guerrilla warfare, and if it really faced an interception, the Super-Space Transmission Channel could timely bring people back.
Otherwise, Qin Muye would be groping in the dark.
The Black Hand naturally explained a wave.
It was as simple as the initial targeting of the Terminators, but the Insect Race was not Terminators. Terminators were puppets that Heavenly Net could modify, whereas the Insect Race seemed to have evolved over millions of years. They couldn't change their genetic sequences, so once infected, it basically meant annihilation for the entire army.
Even if it didn't work, temporarily blocking the Insect Nest Thought Network was enough to cause changes among these clans.
Unfortunately, due to the short time and the limited knowledge of these low-level insects, the current intelligence collection on the Insect Race was limited.
A high-rank insect controlled by the Insect Nest Thought Network controlled all insects, and Qin Muye wondered if using this Insect Nest Thought Network as a breakthrough could plunge the entire Insect Nest Planet into chaos?
Even if it was controlled by this high-rank insect, there were still self-interests involved. If the Insect Nest Thought Network was gone, would a mutiny occur?
Qin Muye did not pay attention to the command center, and the people there were analyzing the battlefield, the Insect Race, and more comprehensively, forming a complete think tank, and he had never interfered.
Qin Muye dissected the Insect Race and soon discovered their secrecy regarding their own species.
Qin Muye, looking at the rising points, felt ecstatic; the recent move had gone from a probe to a surprise attack.
Qin Muye could clearly sense the rigidity of Ghost Energy.
Qin Muye narrowed his eyes, as he had no choice, after all, he was no professional. While he was fine with learning and researching, commanding a battle and strategic vision were clearly not his strengths.
Low strength, high micromanagement, hence Qin Muye had this thought.
Although the Insect Race called this ability Ghost Energy, Qin Muye knew it was definitely not the Ghost Energy from StarCraft but something more dominant. From the data Qin Muye analyzed, it specialized in control, which also meant it was easy to bewitch people.
So the only ones who would really hold them back were the groups formed by the Magicians of the Great Nether Dynasty.
His inability didn't mean his subordinates, the Spirit Monster Heroes, couldn't manage; soon, parts of the Endless Abyss were mobilized.
His Spirit Monsters were protected by the Magic Network, unless someone could shake the entire Endless Abyss, their mental and spiritual aspects were impregnable.
They probably couldn't wait for Emperor Shen You to die and be replaced by an Emperor under their control. Unfortunately, whether from aristocratic families or schools, no Magician had survived Emperor Shen You; instead, many had been outlasted by him.
He had tried before, but spatial coordinates could not be pinpointed accurately, making him feel as if it were blocked, but how come it worked now?
It was only limited to utilization rate. The opponent's Insect Nest Thought Network was much more powerful than the Demon Insect Dominator. The high utilization rate was probably due to controlling too many insects, leading to over-distribution, and although the controlled were low-rank insects, they were still of the Insect Race, not just mutated bugs like those controlled by the Insect Dominator.
After some adjustments, the Insect Race immediately augmented a large number of reinforcements, seemingly infuriated, with strength gradually upgrading from Rank 5 to Rank 6, and occasionally mixing in some of Rank 7.
Moreover, the Demon Insect Dominator combined the local Warlock System and some technologies of the Demon Machine Emperor, hence such a high utilization rate.
It was probably quite simple to bewitch this group of Magicians for profit. Loyal and patriotic? Ha, too much credit to them. Do they really think Emperor Shen You would protect them?
These were all no big issues.
Afterward, Qin Muye might even be able to claim the entire Insect Nest Planet.
Just by forcing the Insect Nest Planet into a head-to-head confrontation, by then it's uncertain who would outlast whom. As long as Qin Muye captured enough insect prisoners, analyzing their genetic sequences would be enough to create something specifically targeting the Insect Race, like viruses, biological diseases, biochemical weapons, etc.
As for not realizing it? That was impossible; at least the Insect Race's commanders were at least Rank 8. Reaching that level of power, even Qin Muye, with only a bit of knowledge, had a very high reaction speed, even the command-type Spirit Monster Heroes under him had this capability.
The think tank had everything properly arranged, and they dared to counter-kill if the opponent dared to intercept them.
He only occasionally suggested things like probing, which also passed the command room's calculations. Otherwise, a Spirit Monster would have given him suggestions.
What he dreaded the most was the Final Reincarnation, because he had witnessed it in those dazzling colors; everything returned to Chaos, and the three crises completely lost their resistance and died violently together.
