Chapter 186 Population Surge! Starsea Infinite Corporation!
As the spark source entered the core area, the dormant mechanical creations gradually awakened.
The circuits on their bodies slowly gained color, and their metal-structured bodies began to move.
Immediately after, the mechanical creations before them began to move on their own, without any human control.
This sight left the surrounding Scholars of the Realism Faction even more dumbfounded.
What did Lu Jin just put into the core area?
Was it because of that thing that these mechanical creations gained autonomous movement capabilities?
What do these mechanical creations rely on for their actions?
Code?
Or is it spiritual consciousness?
Watching the gradually reviving Apocalypse Creatures, the Scholars of the Realism Faction's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Until all the Apocalypse Creatures were activated, their gaze focused on Lu Jin.
Lu Jin had already input a series of underlying logic codes into the spark source.
This ensured that when these Apocalypse Creatures awakened, they wouldn't be pure, blank-slate mechanical creations.
At the same time, it also guaranteed the loyalty of these Apocalypse Creatures!
Soon, one of the Apocalypse Creatures came before Lu Jin, kneeling on one knee to make his posture sufficiently humble.
"Great Creator, thank you for bestowing life upon us!"
Immediately after, the other Apocalypse Creatures came before Lu Jin.
They displayed their loyalty before Lu Jin like devout believers.
Looking at the activated Apocalypse Creatures before him, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, I created you to entrust you with a more important mission."
"This planet is currently in a period of civilizational genesis, and I need a large population."
"Your next task is to participate as much as possible in the work of civilization building."
Facing Lu Jin's command, the Apocalypse Creatures did not choose to refuse.
Under Lu Jin's arrangements, these Apocalypse Creatures were quickly distributed among numerous teams.
And just then, the holographic projection of the Jushen Hao Intelligent System reappeared beside Lu Jin.
Its gaze swept over the many Apocalypse Creatures, and the holographic projection's expression actually showed a subtle hint of surprise.
"It's truly amazing; they are clearly mechanical creations, yet I can't detect any data code within them."
"They have the shell of a mechanical creation, but their internal structure is the spiritual core of a Star Sea creature!"
"Captain, could you grant me an Apocalypse Creature servant?"
"I crave new knowledge; this type of creature has exceeded the understanding stored in my Think Tank!"
"I want to know more!"
Lu Jin's gaze fell upon the holographic projection of the Jushen Hao Intelligent System.
It was his first time seeing the Jushen Hao Intelligent System, an Abnormal Data Entity, so agitated.
Now, it seemed even more emotional.
It appeared that its evolution speed far exceeded his expectations.
Seeing that Lu Jin didn't speak, the Jushen Hao Intelligent System immediately realized something; it quickly understood that its behavior was an overstep for Lu Jin.
This was a major taboo for their relationship!
When the Jushen Hao Intelligent System realized this, a sense of fear actually arose within it.
Biological emotions appeared more and more frequently within it!
It wondered if this was a blessing or a curse for it!
But at this moment, Lu Jin took out a spark source.
"Instead of studying Apocalypse Creatures, you might as well study this directly."
"The spark source is the core of Apocalypse Creatures; if you can thoroughly study the spark source, you will also understand Apocalypse Creatures."
Hearing this, the Jushen Hao Intelligent System was slightly stunned.
It hadn't expected that Lu Jin would directly give it the most important spark source!
Had it overthought things?
With more and more emotions intermingling with its data, the Jushen Hao Intelligent System felt itself beginning to change.
Just then, a ship suddenly appeared in the sky.
Lu Jin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the ship that appeared before him.
The magnificent hull, covered in various material coatings, had its affiliated faction's emblem prominently displayed in the most conspicuous position.
The ship's exterior adopted the most aerodynamically compliant design.
Such a flashy yet impractical ship had a special name among many captains:
A business vessel!
Some wealthy individuals and executives of interstellar companies would travel to various planets on these flashy yet impractical ships.
Over time, business vessels became the standard for various Star Sea elites.
Now, with this business vessel appearing above the stronghold, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself,
"The guest has finally arrived!"
That's right!
This business vessel belonged to Star Sea Infinite Company!
Star Sea Infinite Company, the wealthiest corporate system in the entire Endless Sea and even the entire Star Sea.
And the credit points currency system was proposed by Star Sea Infinite Company!
Now, Lu Jin had summoned Star Sea Infinite Company precisely for his upcoming plan!
The business vessel landed smoothly on the ground.
Immediately after, the hatch opened, and a luxuriously dressed lady stood at the entrance, her gaze sweeping over the stronghold.
After seeing this stronghold, a clear look of disgust appeared in the lady's eyes.
"What a joke? This backwater, and they sent me here for strategic investment?"
"What are the company executives thinking? What value could a place like this have?"
Just as the lady, with some distaste, was about to turn around and leave, her communication device lit up.
When she answered the device, a processed voice sounded in her ear.
"Miss Talia, I presume you have now arrived at the target planet."
"The company's senior management attaches great importance to this strategic investment."
"If you cannot secure this cooperation at a very friendly price,"
"Then, you should not consider a promotion within your fifty-year career."
What?
Hearing the other party's words, Talia's eyes were filled with shock.
The words were very clear: the company highly valued this collaboration.
This meant that Talia had to secure this cooperation no matter what, and the cost of the cooperation would be the profit the company could gain.
From a distance, Lu Jin, with the enhancement of psionic energy, took in every expression of the lady before him.
From initial disdain, to shock, to composing her expression, her eyes became very serious.
"The company really underestimated me, sending such a Kala to fob me off."
"However, that's fine too; since you made a mistake, don't blame me for biting off a big chunk of fat from you!"
Lu Jin used his stronghold and the future profits from its development as leverage to secure an investment opportunity from Star Sea Infinite Company.
If he could obtain its investment, for Lu Jin, it would undoubtedly be a profitable venture with no losses.
+++
Chapter 187 Strategic Investment! The Company Lost a Huge Amount!
After the investment cooperation is reached, Lu Jin will not only receive a substantial amount of development funds.
Furthermore, in order to maximize profits, the company will even dispatch a fleet to protect his stronghold.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that cooperation is achieved.
Therefore, next, Lu Jin needs to consider how to maximize his own interests while completing the investment cooperation.
"Hello, I'm Talia, a member of the Star Sea Infinite Company's Strategic Investment Department."
Upon receiving the notification from her superiors, Talia had already put away her previous expression of distaste.
Now, she only wanted to quickly finalize this cooperation agreement.
It is important to know that Star Sea Infinite Company is extremely large, and precisely because of its immense size, the number of people working for it is also vast.
To stand out among such a large number of people and be promoted to a high-level executive position, mere effort is far from enough.
Therefore, Talia would never let go of any opportunity for promotion!
"It's a pleasure to have caught the attention of Star Sea Infinite Company; my name is Lu Jin."
Lu Jin?
Is he the Blue Star Human who destroyed the Black Stone Pirate Group?
I heard he recently defeated the Night Necromancer fleet on Liuli Star as well?
No wonder the company's senior management values him so highly!
As a Blue Star Human, he has accomplished so many miracles, so he must possess immense exploitable value.
After confirming each other's identities, Lu Jin and Talia immediately set up a makeshift negotiation point in the wilderness.
Although the surrounding environment was pleasant, it was still outdoors.
Talia looked around, still somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Whenever she went to various planets for strategic investments, hadn't the other party always treated her with VIP courtesy?
But now, she was actually sitting face-to-face with Lu Jin in this simple stronghold, discussing investment.
Talia told herself internally that she just needed to quickly complete this transaction.
Just as Talia was about to speak, Lu Jin clapped his hands.
Immediately after, Silvermoon, Shelia, and Linglong appeared behind him.
"Since you are investing, I also need to show your company my sincerity."
"As you can see, my stronghold has Star Hunting Dragons, Star Sea Elves, and remnants of the Sun Dynasty."
"They not only possess powerful combat capabilities but also have extraordinary talents."
Before Lu Jin could finish speaking, Talia decisively interrupted him.
"I can acknowledge that your territory indeed has many powerful Star Sea races stationed within it."
"But these cannot be used as leverage to increase the investment amount."
"We need to see the potential of your stronghold."
"While Star Hunting Dragons and Star Sea Elves are indeed formidable, and we have heard of the talents of the Sun Dynasty's residents."
"However, their numbers are not large. If the population cannot be increased, no matter how complete the civilization's construction, it will be nothing more than a castle in the air."
Population problem?
With the origin warship's cloning chambers, is this still a problem?
"The company naturally doesn't need to worry about the population issue."
"As the owner of an origin warship, my warship has a cloning chamber."
"As long as the funds are in place, I can continuously increase the population using the cloning chamber."
Cloning chamber?
The origin warship's cloning chamber?
Talia frowned slightly, and after some thought, she added the factor of the cloning chamber to the investment considerations.
Immediately after, Lu Jin took out the hèluòmǔ metal.
Upon seeing the hèluòmǔ metal's test report, Talia's expression finally changed.
This metal completely exceeded her expectations!
This stronghold in front of her could actually produce a unique superalloy?
Composing herself, Talia looked at Lu Jin again.
"Please continue to list the technologies you possess."
Seeing this, Lu Jin didn't hesitate at all and placed the spark source on the table again.
The spark source, a completely different form of energy substance, once again overturned Talia's understanding.
After her understanding was overturned for the second time, Talia decisively stood up.
"Excuse me, I need to communicate with the senior management."
"No problem."
This was exactly the result Lu Jin wanted; he knew very well that Talia in front of him was just a company member.
She didn't even count as senior management.
This meant that the company hadn't taken his investment demands seriously at all.
But now it was different; hèluòmǔ metal and the spark source were currently unique assets in the Star Sea.
With these two things, his investment level might even rise a few notches.
Soon, Talia finished discussing with the senior management.
Afterward, Talia sat back down at the negotiating table, but this time, her expression had clearly changed.
"Mr. Lu Jin, based on our company's senior management's discussion, we would like to purchase the ownership of the items you just displayed for 100 billion credit points."
"Sorry, not for sale."
"Of course, this result was also within our expectations, so we will purchase the development rights of your stronghold at a ratio of 1% for 10 billion!"
1% for 10 billion?
Lu Jin chuckled lightly and immediately crossed his legs.
"That's too little. We're all not fools; a higher price will benefit both our negotiations."
"Mr. Lu Jin, this is already the maximum discount our company can offer. Your stronghold is still in its initial stages, and this price is already very reasonable."
"No, this price is not reasonable at all. I might consider 1% for 100 billion credit points."
"What?"
1% of the rights for 100 billion?
What kind of joke is this?
Even Talia, who had excellent composure, couldn't help but stand up.
To offer such a price, did this guy really think his stronghold was some kind of major commercial hub?
"Excuse me..."
"I plan to sell 49% of the rights in one go this time."
Pfft... Talia almost spat out blood again; she could hardly believe her ears.
49% of the rights?
It's important to know that once a company owns 50% of the rights, it can take over the entire stronghold.
In other words, Lu Jin would indirectly lose all control over this stronghold.
What was this man trying to do?
Was he crazy?
She had seen many high rollers before, but even the craziest high rollers only dared to sell a maximum of 30% of their rights to the company.
But Lu Jin dared to directly sell 49% of the rights?
Even Talia couldn't sit still at this point.
"Sorry, I still need to discuss this with the senior management."
"No problem."
Talia felt that this negotiation had spiraled out of control; from the moment she sat down, she had been led by the nose by the other party.
And when Talia reported the situation here to the company's senior management, they were also incredibly shocked.
"1% for 100 billion, selling 49% of the rights? That's truly insane, I like this guy!"
"Interesting, we've met our match. Talia is no match for him at all!"
+++
Chapter 188 The Investment Has Arrived! The Gilded Fleet!
It must be said that Lu Jin's actions garnered more or less attention from the company's senior management.
Some of the company's senior management expressed high approval for Lu Jin's operations.
While other senior management members were completely uninterested in Lu Jin and his assets.
Of course, this also included some senior management who were still observing.
"So, what is our answer? Should we offer some incentives to this bold gambler?"
"There are countless gamblers in the Star Sea, but not everyone can get away unscathed."
"My recommendation is to elevate this investment to an S-level high-value strategic investment."
"S-level strategic investment? That's our highest tier of investment."
"It seems Polaris, you are quite fond of this high-stakes gambler."
Among the many holographic projections, a graceful woman sat amidst the holographic projections of numerous company executives.
She toyed with the chips in her hand, her blurred, virtualized face vaguely revealing an extremely excited smile.
"Of course, this is merely my personal opinion."
"However, the two items he has displayed are enough to qualify him as an S-level client."
"hèluòmǔ metal, a superalloy never before heard of."
"spark source, an unknown energy source capable of bestowing life upon machines."
"These two items are truly rare treasures!"
In her words, Polaris, a member of the senior management, listed all of Lu Jin's potential.
And under her instigation, many senior management members gradually began to take this investment seriously.
Just as the senior management was still discussing and hesitating, an email suddenly appeared in the personal terminals of all senior personnel.
After reading the email, all the company's senior management immediately changed their attitude.
"Since that's the case, the investment level for the Star of Bliss investment plan will be raised to S-level!"
S-level investment contract!
Upon seeing the contents of this investment contract, Lu Jin couldn't help but stroke his chin.
Interesting!
He had originally intended to secure more company investment in this negotiation to obtain a large amount of capital in a short period.
But he didn't expect the company to give him such a pleasant surprise.
An S-level investment contract includes not only the company's financial investment.
The company would even dispatch a formidable fleet to guard the invested planet to ensure its development!
This is the company!
As long as there is profit, they will go to great lengths to protect and invest!
But this time, Lu Jin was destined to disappoint them!
All the industries under his name were merely pawns he had set up for the Assimilation War.
When the Assimilation War fully erupts, he will throw himself into an endless conflict.
At that time, Star Sea Infinite Company would only have two choices.
The first would be to completely abandon Lu Jin, this S-level investment client, and suffer huge losses.
The second choice would be to be dragged into the vortex of war by Lu Jin.
In this game, Lu Jin saw further than the company.
So, the moment Lu Jin signed this investment agreement, the company's senior management couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
"The office temperature is too low; turn it up a bit."
Polaris shrugged, placing the chips in her hand on the table.
Her gaze swept across the star map in front of her, which clearly displayed the coordinates of Bliss Planet.
And on the desk next to the star map, a large amount of scattered data lay, all about Lu Jin.
Polaris picked up a wine glass, and scarlet wine flowed down the side into the glass.
Swirling the glass, Polaris's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Lu Jin, what a crazy man."
"He's exactly the other half I've been waiting for!"
"The list for the escort fleet heading to Bliss Planet hasn't been finalized yet, has it?"
"Tell the company's senior management that I am willing to be the organizer of the investment escort fleet for Bliss Planet!"
What?
Polaris, one of the company's senior management, actually wanted to go to Bliss Planet herself?
The secretary beside her was equally shocked upon hearing these words.
"My Lady Polaris, isn't such a decision a bit too hasty?"
"No, I've decided. I must go, and I'll bring my Gilded Fleet."
At these words, even the highly professional secretary couldn't help but widen her mouth, hardly believing her ears.
Gilded Fleet?
That was Polaris's strongest company fleet!
Its combat power had even reached the terrifying level of star-shattering!
And now, this fleet was going to become the escort fleet for Bliss Planet?
Was the world too crazy, or had she not woken up properly this morning?
Just as the secretary was still at a loss, Polaris glanced at her, and that emotionless gaze instantly made the secretary feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"What are you still standing here for?"
"As my secretary, your reaction is too slow."
"Don't even think about your year-end bonus this year."
At these words, the secretary realized that the Polaris in front of her hadn't changed.
She was still like the other senior management members of the company, a group of utterly perverse capitalists!
The secretary quickly went to carry out Polaris's plan.
Immediately after, Polaris's transfer application seemed to have received the tacit approval of the upper-level BOSS.
It was approved in just an hour.
Upon receiving the approved transfer, Polaris directly boarded a flagship with a golden paint job and a hull as luxurious as a gemstone.
The ship departed from the Starport developed by the company, and countless luxurious and dazzling vessels headed straight towards Bliss Planet.
Now, the luxurious and dazzling ship sailed through the Star Sea, like a radiant gem.
Countless Interstellar Pirates were drawn to it, but when they saw the ship's paint job, they were scared witless and fled.
Beneath the company's main paint scheme, a gilded chip was engraved on the hull of all the ships.
"What a luxurious ship; it looks no different from a gemstone. Probably only these nouveau riche from the company can build ships like this."
"Shh! You're too loud! If it were just the company headquarters' ships, it wouldn't be much, but haven't you seen the chip logo below?"
"Gilded chip logo? Could this fleet be the personal fleet of Polaris, a company executive, the Gilded Fleet?"
"Rumor has it that among all the fleets of the company's senior management, the Gilded Fleet might not be the most powerful, but it is definitely the most insane!"
"Quick, let's go! I don't want to be targeted by these madmen!"
After recognizing the fleet's origin, the Interstellar Pirates also quickly left the area without stopping.
Meanwhile, sitting in the flagship, Polaris looked at Lu Jin's resume, her smile never fading.
It wasn't until the ship reached the star system where the Star of Bliss was located that Polaris finally put away her documents and cast her gaze upon the planet before her.
+++
Chapter 189 A Keen North Star! A Sharp Eye!
Meanwhile, Lu Jin, standing on the planet's surface, naturally saw the Gilded Fleet gradually appearing in the sky.
Not only Lu Jin, but even Yu Tiancang and others were attracted by the fleet in the sky.
They had never seen such luxurious and dazzling warships.
After all, few people would focus on the appearance of a warship.
As long as there was room for improvement in a warship, most captains would choose to improve its performance.
"This warship is truly beautiful, as dazzling as a shooting star."
"When navigating the Star Sea, an overly luxurious and dazzling warship is not a good thing."
"It's only because the Star Sea Infinite Company's logo is on the warship; otherwise, the Interstellar Pirates eyeing it would certainly not be a small number."
"However, the fact that Star Sea Infinite Company can dispatch such a large-scale fleet shows that they have indeed fulfilled the terms of the contract."
Everyone knew that it was precisely because Lu Jin signed the investment agreement that Star Sea Infinite Company dispatched the fleet.
But everyone also knew that this was merely a transaction.
So, after seeing these warships, everyone satisfied their curiosity and quickly left.
However, Lu Jin's gaze did not leave; his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the logo of the gilt chip.
Yinyue, next to him, noticed Lu Jin's abnormality and couldn't help but ask,
"Captain, is there something wrong with this fleet?"
"Yes, and it's no small problem."
Based on the paint scheme of these warships, it could be determined that this fleet was not a guard fleet under the company's direct command.
If it were a warship from the company's headquarters, there would only be the company's logo on it.
But these warships, in addition to the company logo, also had a special logo representing a private force.
And this gilt chip logo represented that the warships in front of him belonged to one of the company's high-ranking executives, Polaris's fleet!
Sure enough, the next second the fleet docked near the planet's orbit.
A large warship, as resplendent as a jewel, descended directly towards the outpost.
When the warship landed on the surface, the hatch opened.
Polaris, one of the company's high-ranking executives, was already impatiently walking off the warship and standing before Lu Jin.
Gazing at the beautiful Polaris, who exuded an air of nobility, Yinyue once again felt the arrival of a threat!
But Polaris didn't care at all; she directly grabbed Lu Jin's hands before he could dodge.
"Mr. Lu Jin, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"My name is Polaris, and I am the head of the guard fleet sent by the company to protect the Star of Bliss."
"For the future development of Bliss Planet, I ask for your continued guidance!"
Facing such an enthusiastic Polaris, Lu Jin calmly withdrew his hand.
Lu Jin was naturally not unfamiliar with Polaris.
A high-ranking executive of the company, the craziest gambler, the fearsome Polaris... Lu Jin had heard of all these titles in his previous life.
Of course, none of these titles were positive.
Polaris, a crazy and deadly woman.
This was Lu Jin's impression of Polaris in his previous life.
To be honest, the appearance of the Gilded Fleet was completely outside Lu Jin's plans.
Although the appearance of the Gilded Fleet greatly increased the safety of Bliss Planet.
But considering Polaris's reputation, Lu Jin felt this was actually a bad thing.
As if seeing Lu Jin's wariness towards her, Polaris's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Mr. Lu Jin, it seems this is our first meeting, right?"
"But why are you so wary of me?"
"Could it be that we've met before in a place I don't know about?"
At these words, Lu Jin's heart tightened, and he immediately became fully alert.
In just a moment, he had prepared a retort.
"Sorry, I just heard that the people of Star Sea Infinite Company are all businessmen."
"It's only right to be cautious with businessmen, isn't it?"
"I wouldn't want to be sold out and then help count the money for the person who sold me."
Hearing these words, Polaris smiled sweetly.
"Mr. Lu Jin, you are indeed quite humorous."
"However, when it comes to business acumen, few members of Star Sea Infinite Company can compare to you."
"Would you consider joining the company as my secretary?"
"With your talent, I guarantee you can be promoted to a high-ranking executive like me within a year."
Facing the grand promises made by Polaris, Lu Jin directly chose to refuse.
Lu Jin was very clear about what kind of place Star Sea Infinite Company was.
In the gathering place of all merchants in the entire Star Sea, it was harder to get promoted than to ascend to heaven.
"Since Miss Polaris will be responsible for the security of Bliss Planet from now on, why don't you come and visit this planet, Miss Polaris?"
With that, Lu Jin directly summoned an Apocalypse Creature.
This Apocalypse Creature had two forms: one was a humanoid combat form.
The other was a spaceship form that could carry people for flight.
Lu Jin directly arranged a tour group to take Polaris to visit the ecological environment of Bliss Planet.
After sending Polaris away, Lu Jin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that as a high-ranking executive of the company, Polaris's observational skills were incredibly meticulous.
If he didn't handle it well, even the secret of his reincarnation might be uncovered by her.
But thankfully, with the funds now in place, he could begin his development plan.
After some time, Lu Jin invested all the credit points invested by the company into the development of the outpost.
And with the existence of the cloning chambers, the population problem was also gradually being resolved.
But just as Lu Jin thought that the next plan would proceed without any hitches, a message came from his personal terminal.
The sender of this message was Polaris, who was responsible for the security of Jile Star (Bliss Star).
At this moment, Polaris leaned idly in her seat, her gaze sweeping across the terminal screen in front of her.
The information on it was shocking; in less than a month, the frequency of Void Zerg appearances had shown an explosive increase.
Many planets under the company's command had been affected by the Void Zerg.
And most critically, some planets had suddenly lost contact.
Even some outposts had been affected by unknown factors and lost control.
The company could already sense that a disaster was quietly brewing.
And not only Star Sea Infinite Company, but other forces were also more or less affected.
After reading the message sent by Polaris, Lu Jin's expression gradually became solemn.
Counting the time, it was almost time for it to begin!
That cosmic-level war that swept across the entire Star Sea!
The Assimilation War was about to begin!
The Void Zerg began to become active!
Subspace Demons gradually descended upon the Star Sea!
The Blood Clan was stirring in the shadows!
Corrupting Spores were also about to step onto the grand stage of the Star Sea!
+++
Chapter 190 Void Zerg Fleet! Sacrifice!
"Time is really pressing!"
Lu Jin turned around and looked into the distance, where roaring factories continuously produced hèluòmǔ metal.
Numerous engineers from the Sun Dynasty processed the hèluòmǔ metal into various components.
And in a massive open space, the skeletons of hundreds of ships stood, waiting for engineers to complete them.
Time!
What Lu Jin needed now was time!
A year was, after all, too short!
Just then, within the star system where Bliss Planet was located, a massive creature forged from flesh and blood suddenly appeared.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Following the appearance of the first monster, more and more monsters of varying sizes emerged.
These monsters floated in the starry sea like giant ships.
And on the bodies of these monsters, several biomass-filled vesicles covered their entire forms!
Inside each vesicle, the figures of Void Zerg could vaguely be seen.
The appearance of the monsters immediately caught Polaris's attention.
Polaris stood up from her seat on the bridge, looking at the detection screen displayed on the ship's terminal, her brows slightly furrowed.
Opening the company's shared Think Tank, Polaris immediately compared the monsters before her with the data in the Think Tank.
Soon, she learned the true identity of these monsters.
Void Insect Ship!
A large biological transport ship created by the Void Zerg!
A Void Insect Ship could not only incubate a large number of Void Zerg, but also had countless already mature Void Zerg parasitic on its body.
The moment a Void Insect Ship appeared, it meant that a planet was about to become fodder for the Swarm.
Lu Jin, naturally, also learned of the Void Swarm invasion through the satellites set up in the star system.
Looking at the Void Insect Ships appearing on the screen, Lu Jin's expression gradually became solemn.
Seeing this, Yin Yue and Shelia, who were beside him, volunteered to lead a fleet to annihilate these Void Swarms.
Even Yun Mengyan stepped forward, stating that no one was more skilled than her at dealing with the Void Swarm.
But Lu Jin waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.
"Based on the scale of the Swarm fleet in the image, this Void Zerg fleet is most likely just a colonial fleet."
Although Void Insect Ships can incubate and transport large numbers of Void Swarms.
It itself does not have enough offensive power to cope with attacks from various natural enemies.
Therefore, a typical Void Zerg fleet would usually be configured with one Void Insect Ship for every two Devouring Insects.
However, the Void Swarm fleet before them only had Void Insect Ships, with no Devouring Insects present.
In such a situation, there are generally only two possibilities.
The first is that this Void Insect Ship was only recently formed and had not yet bred Devouring Insects to escort it.
The second possibility is that they are merely an advance colonial force, with the main force still behind them.
Lu Jin hoped for the former!
No one knew better than him how terrifyingly massive a true Void Zerg main fleet was!
Therefore, without determining the purpose of these Void Swarms, Lu Jin's plan was to wait.
After all, Polaris should be more worried now.
And just as Lu Jin expected, after confirming the identity of these Void Insect Ships, Polaris immediately mobilized her fleet.
The scale of the Gilded Fleet was far beyond what ordinary fleets could compare to.
There were hundreds of large battleships alone in the Gilded Fleet!
Not to mention, the Gilded Fleet's prepared by also included numerous ships carrying heavy firepower.
Polaris immediately organized a firepower fleet and headed straight for the coordinates of the Void Insect Ships.
The Void Insect Ships on the opposite side also seemed to have discovered the presence of the Gilded Fleet.
But instead of being afraid, these Void Insect Ships actually charged straight towards the Gilded Fleet.
"Oh? Instead of retreating, they're charging straight at my firepower ships?"
Polaris sensed that something was amiss.
But at this point, she had no other choice.
The firepower ships quickly opened fire, and a barrage of laser missiles rained down directly on the Void Insect Ships opposite.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Lu Jin, on the ground, watched as the Void Insect Ships were easily destroyed, his brows furrowed.
Something's not right!
Twelve out of ten things are not right!
What is going on with these Void Insect Ships?
Facing the vastly superior Gilded Fleet, they didn't even try to escape?
Actively seeking death?
What a joke?
The Void Swarm he remembered were not such an extremely foolish group of creatures?
After defeating the Void Swarm fleet, Polaris looked at the fragments of flesh and blood floating in the starry sea, and she could feel a sense of unease welling up from the bottom of her heart.
It was too easy!
The Void Swarm, which was regarded as a great scourge by various forces in the data reports.
Was it defeated so easily by her?
And from the very beginning, she had sensed something was wrong!
From the moment these Void Swarms appeared until they were completely annihilated by her, they never once attacked her ships throughout the entire process?
Even if the Void Insect Ships had weaker offensive power, that didn't mean they had no room to retaliate at all.
But the Void Swarms didn't counterattack, they just let Polaris command her ships to destroy them.
At this moment, a possibility had already surfaced in Lu Jin's mind.
"It's Subspace Demons!"
These Void Swarms have been bewitched by Subspace Demons!
Subspace Demons are a group of special creatures living in the Subspace, possessing extremely strong mental bewitchment abilities!
And everything they do is to connect the starry sea and the Subspace, to release their kind!
These Void Insect Ships before them are precisely the sacrifices that the Subspace Demons had long prepared!
As Lu Jin thought of this, a large number of Subspace Rifts suddenly appeared around the fragments of flesh and blood floating in the starry sea.
These Subspace Rifts swallowed all the fragments of flesh and blood!
As the flesh and blood gradually merged into the Subspace Rifts, the Subspace Rifts grew larger and larger, eventually connecting into a giant rift opening!
Roar!
Just then, a roar emerged from the Subspace Rift.
In the vacuum of space where sound cannot travel, everyone heard this beast-like roar.
Immediately after, under everyone's gaze, a ship gradually emerged from the Subspace Rift like a ghost!
The ship was entirely wrapped in crimson flesh and blood, and its bow was adorned with the head of an unknown creature.
And on the ship's deck, countless Subspace Demons of various forms let out roar after roar!
They celebrated, they cheered, as if they were freed prisoners, filled with excitement!
Seeing this, Polaris felt a chill run down her spine!
"Attack!"
In order not to let these monsters break through the Subspace Rift and descend upon the starry sea, Polaris decisively commanded her ships to attack!
