The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2229: Commander

"They can't do what I want them to do..."

“They are good for nothing.”

“No, it’s still somewhat useful.”

"That is to help me attract some...creatures..."

It is a rather interesting individual.

The leader of the Lost Legion... was a very big brain. Lin found that it was still alive, but it had lost the ability to communicate.

There are many broken parts inside it and many cells have died.

This seems to be due to the 'forced mixing' it undergoes.

Lin noticed that there were still many fragments of the Void Bus's neural structure in the commander's brain. Lin thought that it might have stuffed... the Void Bus's neural structure into its brain before.

Whatever the reason, this is what caused the massive death of its brain cells.

However, it still retains a certain ability to think and can also send signals to the outside world.

It's just that it has lost its 'consciousness', so its thoughts are constantly repeating themselves.

At the same time, Lin also found some memories, including its past.

Just as Lin guessed, the leader of the Lost Legion was an interesting creature. It was not a creator itself, but... a creature that was closer to a creator.

It might also be a subspecies of some kind of creator, like a special creator.

In short, Lin has discovered that this creature has a very large brain as its main body, and except for the brain, everything else can change its shape.

Until Lin confirms what it is, let's call it the Lost Commander.

As far as Lin knows, most creators like to create their own ecosystems and regularly harvest all the creatures in the ecosystem, store the nuclear information of these creatures, and then create new creatures to continue harvesting.

And the leader of the Lost Legion wanted to do the same thing.

However, its target is all cellular organisms in the void.

It believes that all cellular organisms in the void were originally born from the Creator... The Creator created all the cellular organisms in the void. The Creator caused the current prosperous scene of cellular organisms in the void, but failed to control most of the cellular organisms.

Many cellular organisms are 'free' because they are taken to various places in the void by the Void Bus to develop and evolve on their own... Therefore, the commander calls these uncontrolled organisms 'lost organisms' and plans to recycle them all.

To be precise, it is recycling the nuclear information of these creatures, and it believes that this is what the creator population should do.

Thus, it created the Lost Legion.

Its original conception was to create a 'cell ball' as big as an ordinary tumbler as a battleship. It initially tried to create a huge sphere with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers based on the internal structure of a certain biological cell.

Later it scrapped the idea because it would be difficult to maintain stability in the internal structure if the ball became too large.

Then, instead of taking any approach to stabilize it, it divided the sphere into many parts.

And these parts have become a huge biological army... This is how the Lost Legion was formed.

Just as the special creator said, the Lost Legion keeps harvesting the 'free' cellular organisms they encounter in the void.

The Commander wants to collect all the lost biological nuclear information that the Creator failed to manage and collect.

It used the Void Bus to guide it through some means, so it successfully destroyed countless creatures and collected... a lot of nuclear information.

Occasionally it discovers some cellular organisms that can compete with the Lost Legion.

It will use various methods to investigate the opponent in advance, and if it finds that the gap is not big, it will try to fight.

If the gap is too big, it will give up on this goal.

However, it has hardly encountered any strong opponents so far.

But... in the end, it entered the solidified void due to an incident.

Lin found that its memory of this part was very vague and it was not quite sure why it came in.

In short, after coming in, its troops were unable to move.

In the solidified void, commanding a huge Lost Legion... it slowly rotted and dissipated, leaving only some of the more solid parts of its body.

Like those giant ribs.

The reason why the Lost Legion decayed was mainly due to some small solidified organisms like furnace fire.

Some Hearthfire creatures will float onto the skin of its legionaries for a brief rest, their firelight restoring some of the parasites.

Like most cellular organisms, the Lost Legion's soldiers have many parasites on their skin, some of the larger ones are even several meters in size.

Moreover, these parasites themselves are also very strong and can withstand extreme environments, which has a lot to do with the fact that the Lost Legion has always lived in the void.

In short, these microorganisms survive by absorbing nutrients from the soldiers themselves, and the damage they cause to the giant soldiers can be completely ignored. However, now the soldiers themselves are solidified.

When the fire flew onto the soldiers' skin, only the parasites woke up, and then these parasites continued to absorb nutrients on the skin. They have many ways to absorb nutrients, such as penetrating the skin like a "mosquito" to suck the cells inside, or some have the ability to dig small holes in the skin to eat the flesh inside, etc.

But because the soldier itself was solidified, it was completely unable to repair any damage or replenish any cells, no matter how small the damage was.

Therefore, no matter how large the army was, it would all...rot under the slow erosion of the parasites.

Simply put, the parasite eats up its army bit by bit.

Of course, many other solidified creatures also caused damage during this period... Many solidified creatures would drill open the soldiers' skin purely out of curiosity.

In short, in the end, only a small part of the huge army was left.

Except... where the leader's brain is.

The commander's brain is located in a sphere... which Lin is seeing now, with a diameter of more than one kilometer, and there are no parasites on the surface.

This is because the parasites on other types of soldiers are intentionally kept by the commander and not removed.

It wants to create a small ecological environment on each type of soldier, and then regularly harvest these parasites and replace them with new ones.

If it had known that the parasites would later devour its entire army, it would not have wanted to destroy the parasitic ecosystem.

However, there were no parasites on the ball it was on, so the ball itself was not eaten up bit by bit.

Although it was also attacked by some coagulated creatures, the arrival of some coagulated creatures also mixed some anti-coagulated substances into the ball.

Lin is not quite sure of the detailed reasons, but the commander’s brain has obtained a lot of anti-coagulation substances...it woke up.
