At that moment, the Queen’s sense of crisis was at its peak. Psionic had given her a powerful sixth sense in addition to acute perception. She did not even have to consider whether the mechanical signal was abnormal and was ready to turn around and leave the galaxy.
However, in the next moment, a group of ‘Void Evils’ who were hiding somewhere suddenly appeared and surrounded Queen ‘Presolin’.
They seemed to have been lying in ambush there for a long time. Every one of them had a fierce look on their face. Other than tyranny, they also had a look of greed, as if they had seen a delicious meal.
They were still seeing the ‘Presolins’ as food, just as they had done in the past, and they had apparently been instructed to set up a trap to kill the ‘Presolins’.
However, those were not the main points that caught the Queen’s attention. What shocked the Queen was the additional mechanical component on the bodies of those ‘Void Evils.’
There was a circuit printed on the back of one of the wings. As the high-speed flapping of the wings brought about the electric current, a signal that was very similar to the communication signal of the ‘Voyager’ was sent out.
That was how it simulated the mechanical signals unique to mechanical life. The other ‘Void Evils’ also had more or less mechanized parts, such as a metallic head, a mechanical reactor that used blood vessels as circuits outside the body, and thrusters that replaced the tail…
Those ‘Void Evils’ were like chimeras of machines and lifeforms. They looked strange and full of natural evolutionary biological attunement as if their mechanical bodies were ‘naturally grown.’ Although they were not visually harmonious, they could achieve physiological perfection.
“Have these fellows…had another evolution?” The Queen was extremely shocked by the form changes in those ‘Void Evils.’
No one in that galaxy would give them such ‘artificial forms modification,’ which meant that those mechanized organizations were the result of another round of the ‘Void Evil’s’ evolution.
Although it was not clear what kind of inducement could induce such an evolution of the ‘Void Evils,’ the Queen had not received that news from anyone else before, which meant that she was the first to discover the new form of ‘Void Evil.’
“This won’t do…I have to pass this news to the others quickly…”
Without any hesitation, Queen ‘Presolin’ immediately contacted the ‘Communication Insect’ that she hid outside the battlefield through a psionic link.
Such a special functional individual was specifically hidden in planets, meteorite belts, and other places that were difficult to detect. It was responsible for acting as a relay station for lifeform signal transmission and also a backup plan for the Queen’s ‘resurrection.’
Every ‘Communication Insect’ had independent reproductive organs and special nervous tissues that could accommodate the Queen’s enormous consciousness again. Even if the Queen’s physical body died on the battlefield, as long as her consciousness could be transferred to the insect before that, even if it was only a portion, the Queen could be reborn.
That was the biotechnology that the ‘Presolin’ was once proud of. It could simultaneously serve as an information hub and a ‘resurrection point.’
But now, when she used it again, Queen ‘Presolin’ felt her heart tremble.
When she was in the Milky Way, she rarely used such Insect Division. After leaving the Milky Way, she never used it too. Because countless generations of Queens had used that method to ‘resurrect,’ only to get torn apart and eaten by the ‘Void Evils’ repeatedly. The ‘Void Evils’ enjoyed it.
Many Queens could no longer endure the pain and chose to die completely at one point. They would no longer transfer their consciousness, leaving only a small portion of the consciousness seed that carried the history of ‘Presolin,’ and let the insect grow into a new Queen.
The pain from ancient times seemed to have been applied to the present Queen, slowing down her consciousness to transmit psionic signals.
However, she quickly became determined and threw away the illusions that shouldn’t have been on her. She spread the news that ‘Void Evil’ had evolved again.
The Communication Insects began to transmit orders under the influence of psionic, and their bodies further changed in order to transmit messages.
An insect buried deep inside the meteorite suddenly grew out of the ground like a plant seed. Soon, it formed a fleshy layer similar to a ‘sunflower’ on the surface of the meteorite and began to absorb the light of the star.
The meteorite was at its perihelion at the moment, which was the most efficient time to absorb energy. The signal that had been converted from psionic also burst out and spread in all directions.
Meanwhile, Queen ‘Presolin’ led her warriors to charge at the ‘Void Evils’ that were coming to ‘kill’ them.
That batch of ‘Void Evils’ had the same number as them, as if they thought that that number was enough to kill them.
“There’s only so few of you…Are you looking down on us?!” The ruthlessness of Queen ‘Presolin’ was also aroused. After farming for so long, they had almost forgotten that they were originally carnivores.
They were also part of the batch that had been ‘reborn,’ and there was no reason for them to lose to the ‘Void Evils’ that had just hatched from the eggs.
The ‘Void Evils’ spurt out a weakened version of the ‘Dragon Breath Beam’ from afar. Like the main cannon of a battleship that shot at the same time, they shot straight at the ‘Presolins.’
Perhaps they knew that the original acid attack was too much of a drag, so they used the ‘Dragon Breath Beam’ that they had experienced to deal with their enemy..
