Chapter 357 The Other Side

The arrival of the Destroyer, or the way it came, was not unexpected by Chen Ming.

Because hyperspace exists in the normal universe, there is no thing related to the normal universe except the gravitational field of massive celestial bodies.

And the phase space, which corresponds to the normal universe one to one and can almost be called a mirror, naturally "mirrors" the hyperspace.

Therefore, things in the phase space can also enter the hyperspace, and can also use the peculiarity of the hyperspace itself to move at a higher speed in the phase space than in the normal universe.

This is the result that the Empire has already studied in the research related to phase technology.

For the phase beast, this kind of creature that can use its own power to directly jump is not important, and they have no ability to contact hyperspace.

But for the mechanical race, the hyperspace in the phase space is still of great significance.

For example, now.

Without a deep enough understanding of phase technology, the Destroyer has only one choice when he finds that the interior of the Star Gate Galaxy is disturbed by the jump fluctuation and cannot jump again.

Jump to the nearest other Star Gate Galaxy and arrive here through the Star Gate.

After mastering certain phase technology.

The Destroyer can jump to the nearest place that can be jumped to the Stargate system that Chen Ming invaded, and then enter the hyperspace, and do what it needs to do in the phase space of the hyperspace where it is completely impossible to be ambushed.

The Destroyer, which should have taken at least half an hour to arrive, returned to the Stargate system that Chen Ming invaded in just over ten minutes.

The power of the mechanical race inside the system has been strengthened again.

Chen Ming knows that the mechanical race currently has a total of twelve motherships.

At this time, nine of them have been filled in the Stargate system.

This fighting force is enough to completely destroy Chen Ming's fleet.

But it's not a big problem, his goal has been achieved.

Because just before the Destroyer arrived, a Zerg biological fighter carried by a cruiser had already touched the Stargate.

Although it was killed the moment it touched it, and although the counterattack of the mechanical race also repelled the Zerg again, its flesh and blood had already been sprayed on the Stargate.

As long as Chen Ming wanted, this raid could end with the main purpose achieved.

But he didn't want to.

He didn't want to expose his true ability so quickly, nor did he want to retreat before achieving all his goals.

He also wanted to use the cognitive bias of the mechanical race to create a better opportunity to achieve greater results.

Therefore, Chen Ming wanted to continue to lay the groundwork.

And the way to lay the groundwork was to send his body here.

The real body.

Just as the boss asked before, Chen Ming's current body is no longer important.

What really matters is his consciousness.

He can completely abandon his body and create a new and more perfect body.

But instead of abandoning the body casually, it is better to use it to do something valuable.

Just like Chen Ming thought at the beginning of the war with the mechanical race.

He wanted to use the body to create a situation that would make the mechanical race do their best, so he had to continue to deepen the idea that only the body could control certain things in the mechanical race.

The problem now is, how can he get the body over in a reasonable way?

Chen Ming just thought about this problem and found that he didn't need to consider it.

He just made something fancy.

The mechanical race didn't need to know what this process was.

He only needs to let the mechanical race see the result, that is, Chen Ming has arrived at the Star Gate System, which is currently blocked by the jump engine.

The method is also very simple, that is, to use psychic energy to teleport the main body.

Chen Ming's psychic energy will affect the consciousness of the teleported person when teleporting.

The consciousness of the teleported person needs to be sealed in order to be safely teleported.

As for him, sealing the consciousness is useless, and the Scarlet Dimension has already completely targeted him.

It will not have much effect to penetrate into the rift and seize some power, but if he dares to go deep into the Scarlet Dimension directly, then what is waiting for him is definitely something terrifying.

So teleporting the main body was impossible for Chen Ming some time ago.

But when Chen Ming's power has grown to the point where consciousness can be separated from the body, and even the spiritual nerve is just a sign of him as a psychic, not the source of power.

He can teleport the main body that is completely separated from consciousness, or in other words, an ordinary body called the main body.

Only when he actively enters the Scarlet Dimension, or is dragged into the Scarlet Dimension by external forces, will he be affected by the previous situation.

So the only thing left to do is the fancy things.

This is easy to do.

At the same time when Chen Ming had an idea.

The Zerg blood and fragments splashed on the star gate suddenly moved, differentiated into some new flesh and blood tissues, and in the blink of an eye, they began to grow wildly, growing countless biomass and legions.

Like the mold growing on bread, it expanded like water after speeding up hundreds of times.

An ugly stain suddenly grew on the pure white star gate frame originally supported by Baiyun steel.

And this stain continued to expand and penetrate into the structure of the star gate frame.

And with the appearance of this biomass and fungal blanket, more and more of the remaining Zerg are giving up the exchange of fire with the Mechanic race and trying their best to get close to the Star Gate, even if they are not approaching a complete spaceship, but only the blood and flesh fragments after the spaceship is shattered.

As long as they can get close, the things on the Star Gate can absorb it and convert it into their own nutrients, further accelerating the efficiency of expansion.

Of course, the Mechanic race can't sit idly by and allow the Zerg to further affect the Star Gate.

All motherships carrying Mechanic units immediately released almost all Mechanic races and approached the Star Gate.

Since the middle and lower-level spaceships of the Mechanic race have been completely destroyed, the space around the motherships is almost filled with Zerg warships, resulting in a large number of Mechanic races being destroyed by Zerg warships halfway.

However, some Mechanic races successfully landed on the Star Gate base and began to clean up the biomass and fungal blankets on it.

These biomasses did not fight back, but simply continued to expand with more exaggerated efficiency.

The absorption of the Zerg fragments by the biomass was just a show by Chen Ming. The real nutrition for the biomass was provided by Chen Ming and the Queen of Zerg, who used spiritual energy to continuously deliver energy crystals to the biomass here.

In a blink of an eye, the speed of biomass proliferation even exceeded the speed of the mechanical race's cleaning.

And the Destroyer mothership had just left the hyperspace.

Before it had time to enter the galaxy and reach the distance where the Destroyer could be used, it could not affect the biomass.

And these biomass did not destroy the star gate itself, nor did they make any aggressive behavior towards the mechanical race.

They just continued to proliferate and expand, and in a corner of the star gate, they built a ring structure of biomass similar to the star gate.

Then Chen Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations imitated the power of scarlet, creating a scarlet light film in the ring of biomass. He could do this because he had mastered part of the scarlet power.

Let this ring structure of flesh and blood pile up like a brand new miniature star gate, showing its full appearance to the mechanical race.

The next moment.

Chen Ming, wearing biological armor, stepped out of the scarlet.

This time was different from the last time, and it was the real him who came.

He stood on the stargate frame relying on the slight gravitational influence of the singularity of the stargate.

The sky made of metal liquid blocked all mechanical units and their attacks.

But there were already motherships turning around, and it seemed that they did not intend to stay and wanted to destroy Chen Ming and the stargate together.

Chen Ming still had to respect the main weapons.

However, he did not rush to act, but took advantage of the time when the mechanical mothership turned around to turn his eyes to a more distant place.

Although the destroyer mothership in the phase space could not be seen by the naked eye, he knew that the destroyer was desperately approaching the stargate from the edge of the galaxy.

Once it entered a sufficient distance, the destruction would directly act on him.

And this time, Chen Ming would not give the destroyer such an opportunity.

But he wanted to give the destroyer the illusion of having a chance.

He reached out and touched the stargate frame beside him.

He continued to watch silently as the mechanical race in the galaxy continued to bombard his position, but was completely blocked by the metal sky curtain.

He could actually disappear into the galaxy with the Star Gate before the Destroyer approached.

Even if the jump engine was disturbed by the frantic jump traces that filled the entire galaxy, it would not affect Chen Ming's use of the scarlet dimension to send the Star Gate thousands of light years away.

Moreover, the Destroyer might directly destroy the Star Gate after approaching, and there was no way to save the things destroyed by the Destroyer.

This was the most troublesome situation that Chen Ming might encounter when attacking the Star Gate galaxy, so his initial arrangement was to eliminate this possibility.

The effect has also been achieved.

It seems that there is no benefit in continuing to delay.

But he still wants to wait a little longer, because this is not only an opportunity for the mechanical race, but also an opportunity for him.

In the phase space of the Star Gate galaxy, the Destroyer can almost be said to have come alone.

There were only about thirty or so specially modified cruisers used to replace the radiation coils following, and there was almost no effective defense force.

It has no real escort fleet

And the mothership carrying the Destroyer has also been modified to a relatively large extent.

It has a huge radiation energy capacity, and the radiation energy dissipation is close to zero.

This means that its sustained combat capability is quite poor.

After exchanging fire with a fleet of Chen Ming in front, it jumped back to the vicinity of the Stargate System without stopping, and had to rush back through hyperspace. During this whole process, the Destroyer mothership had almost no time to rest.

This is the opportunity.

And Chen Ming's means have been arranged long ago.

At the beginning of this second raid, the number of Zerg fleets he created was more than 4 million on the side of the Black Mist prosthesis, and more than 4 million on the side of the logistics area.

And this is not the upper limit of his Zerg combat power.

He still has a lot of reserve Zerg forces.

And after arranging the phase behemoth to the Legion Ship Research Institute before, Chen Ming borrowed the same device borrowed from the Fanchao Research Institute from the Ship Research Institute.

It is the device used by the Fanchao Research Institute to send the space station into the phase space in the phase space interaction experiment.

It can help Chen Ming send those extra Zerg forces into the phase space.

Biological ships do not need to dissipate radiation like ordinary ships. They are the most powerful existence in the phase space.

Those Zerg fleets in the phase space are Chen Ming's backup against the Destroyer.

However, since the range of the device is limited to a sphere with a diameter of several kilometers, it takes a certain amount of time to send enough cruisers to compete with the mothership into the phase space.

Therefore, he did not act on the Destroyer immediately, but first attracted the Destroyer out and started with another target.

The rest is simple. When the Destroyer takes his original body as the target and releases the Destroyer, all the Zerg fleets in the phase space will immediately jump, rush up, and beat him to death.

Although this metaphor is a bit strange, Chen Ming feels that this is the most vivid metaphor for his means against the Destroyer.

At this time, the ridge cannon of the Destroyer mothership has lit up with the energy layer by layer. It is about to act on the Destroyer.

The Destroyer will certainly destroy Chen Ming and the Star Gate where Chen Ming is standing.

Chen Ming also gradually stimulated his psychic energy, so that when necessary, he could instantly send himself and the Star Gate away.

However.

Just when the mothership was about to activate the Destroyer, the jump fluctuations of Chen Ming's Zerg fleet also appeared near the Destroyer.

The Destroyer found that something was wrong, and it suddenly gave up attacking Chen Ming, covering its body with the aura of destruction.

A large number of Zergs that had jumped in the phase space were completely wiped out by the Destroyer as soon as they finished jumping.

Chen Ming immediately stopped the jump, and the Zerg cruisers that had not jumped to the point where they could not stop temporarily suspended their actions.

He did not understand the current situation.

It was that the mechanical race chose to save itself between the Destroyer itself and killing Chen Ming.

Under normal circumstances, they should try their best to kill him.

But they did not do so.

There is only one possibility.

That is, the mechanical race believes that there is a high probability that Chen Ming on the Star Gate is fake at this time.

After all, after controlling the star gate, Chen Ming did not make any moves on the star gate, nor did he disconnect the connection between the mechanical race and the star gate.

The star gate is not directly connected to the honeycomb network of the mechanical race, so they have no idea whether the star gate is controlled or not.

Naturally, they will remain suspicious.

Chen Ming knew that he really came here in person this time, but the mechanical race had no suitable means to confirm it.

In the end, between killing the star gate and the suspected existence of Chen Ming on the star gate, and preserving the Destroyer, they chose to preserve the Destroyer.

After all, if they choose the former, they will lose not only the star gate, but also the Destroyer attacked by the Zerg.

The mechanical race does not seem to want to gamble on this probability.

Or in their opinion, the probability that Chen Ming is fake is higher.

So the situation is deadlocked.

The Destroyer did not make any further moves.

And Chen Ming's Zerg fleet did not continue to attack.

Only the battle near the star gate continued, and the mothership continued to turn its bow.

The speed of turning the bow of a mothership of tens of thousands of meters is not fast, but at most thirty seconds, Chen Ming must retreat.

He has the ability to kill the Destroyer, but he needs the Destroyer to direct the attack at himself, creating the first wave of close-range attacks for the Zerg, and destroying all the ships that provide radiation coils to the mothership.

As for the mechanical race, they cannot be sure whether Chen Ming is real, and the risk of using the Destroyer to kill Chen Ming on the stargate is extremely high.

They cannot afford to lose the stargate and the Destroyer, which has the greatest possibility of killing Chen Ming at the same time.

So they would rather drag it out.

See if ordinary motherships can pose a threat to Chen Ming, and don't give Chen Ming any chance.

It seems that it is unlikely to let the Destroyer take risks.

He failed to achieve all his goals, so let it be.

Chen Ming sighed in his heart with some regret.

Suddenly he stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs down in the direction of the Destroyer, just like last time, and then disappeared into the galaxy with the stargate that was large enough to accommodate three main battleships at the same time.

Only the mechanical race and the remaining Zerg fleet were left to continue the final battle.

At the same time when Chen Ming attacked the stargate here.

The situation on the Black Mist prosthesis side is a little more complicated.

The three motherships of the mechanical race found that they were unable to resist the attack of the Black Mist Zerg fleet.

At the same time, the more important Star Gate system was attacked by other Zerg fleets.

Even the Destroyer had to turn back to defend. They had no means to defeat Chen Ming's Zerg.

So they chose to escape.

And the location of escape can be said to be extremely particular.

A pirate space station system, a branch where Baiquan is located.

The last one, a system occupied by the Empire in a certain mechanical star field.

They all have a common feature.

This feature is not that there are fleets of the Empire.

But these three locations are related to Chen Ming.

The first two locations are easy to understand, and the third location...

If Chen Ming remembers correctly, a fleet led by Cheng Xinghai responsible for suppressing the mechanical race's resistance is there.

Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, what is the third time?

Can the Machine Clan still go to the Empire to check their genealogy? Is there anyone who can promote Chen Ming's engagement to the machine clan?

Chen Ming didn't believe this was a coincidence, but he didn't have time to investigate the deeper reasons behind the current incident.

What he can do is to deal with the problem of the Zerg that may be forced to go to the empire.

He must not let the empire's fleet take action.

Because that means he will actively harm those innocent people.

It's absolutely impossible for him to watch

Just when Chen Ming asked the insect queen to prepare a new insect race again and prepare to fight a civil war on the empire's territory.

Suddenly, it was discovered that there seemed to be some problems with the jump process of a mothership.

The jump process of the mothership that wanted to jump to the galaxy where Baiquan was located was interrupted by the landing point.

Come to think of it, the branch is now the general headquarters of the front line, and there will always be means to prevent jump raids.

But it is a pity that this mothership also reacted very quickly. It immediately followed the jump fluctuation of the other mothership and followed the other mothership to another place.

If it didn't react, it would have to face the siege of more than three million Zerg fleets alone.

Although it is a pity, the result is not too bad.

At least this way, Chen Ming would have one-third less trouble to deal with.

The pirate space station at this time.

In front of the hardware store.

Suddenly a robot walks into the hardware store.

The boss glanced up, then casually lowered his head and looked at the terminal and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Machine Tribe is coming over with a mothership."

"It's okay, I can fight."

"There will be some bugs following."

"?"

The boss raised his head with confusion in his eyes.

Chen Ming explained: "For some reasons, I have to let the Zerg follow me, so..."

The boss straightened up and asked, "What should we do?"

"Hmm...Boss, what method did you use when Yuhui came over last time? Can it still be used? Will it be effective against the machine race?"

"That ability is what I call mind tremor. It is specifically designed for conscious beings. It won't be very effective against the mechanical race, but it should be usable."

"Consciousness shock has no effect, but psychic shock will eat them. But this is a shock that directly obliterates consciousness. Your Zerg are also hive minds, right? The damage will be great."

"It's okay." Chen Ming said, "Boss, tell me when you do it. I can take away the consciousness of the Zerg, and everything will be fine."

As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, the space station suddenly sounded an alarm.

Traces of the mothership have appeared in the pirate galaxy.

There are also transitional fluctuations that almost completely disrupt the space fluctuations of the galaxy, just like the mechanical race's stargate galaxy.

"Come so quickly? And this amount..."

The boss said this and stopped asking any more questions. He simply said to Chen Ming: "Then let's do it now."

He stood up as he spoke, and a soft spiritual energy wave surrounded him and spread outward.

And as this psychic energy wave spreads outward, its nature is becoming more and more crazy.

Gradually, it began to possess the power to destroy all minds, sweeping across the entire galaxy.

The mothership that had just arrived through the jump, and the millions of Zerg cruisers following the mothership, were all swept away by this mighty force.

If these were not Chen Ming's Zerg, but real Zerg, they would probably die completely before this power, leaving no room for struggle.

This is the power of a top level 6 psyker.

The Zerg fleet now needs to rely on sheer numbers to defeat even its capital ships, let alone the truly powerful level 6 psykers.

But fortunately, such psychics are our own.

And with the boss's advance reminder, Chen Ming has sent the consciousness of all Zerg units back to the Zerg network.

Only the mechanical race mothership was truly attacked by the trembling mind. Before it had time to make any moves or release any attacks, it was destroyed in the galaxy.

Lying quietly in space together with the remaining complete bodies of the Zerg warships.

The boss looked very relaxed and sat back in his chair: "I'll have those bugs collected later, and you can tell me where to send them."

"wrong……"

The boss suddenly realized something.

That is, these are not hundreds or thousands of warships, but millions.

This was simply not a quantity his men could handle.

"It seems like you have to find a way to deal with these bugs on your own. I can help you stop others for a while, and you can get it done as soon as possible."

"I see."

Chen Ming responded.

But his mind wasn't on dealing with the zerg.

Instead, it appeared in a certain galaxy occupied by the empire among the mechanical tribe.
