Bug Race Microcosm, Planet Lancer.
The void was filled with the wreckage of battleships and various defense platforms. It was obvious that a large-scale war had taken place here.
The most important thing was that these wreckages, regardless of whether they were battleships, defense platforms, or space fighters, were definitely from the same civilization based on their style.
In other words, on the entire battlefield, there were only wreckages from one side of the war and none from the other!
This was rather strange.
On the planet's surface, there were also destroyed buildings everywhere. There were a few densely packed areas that were once bustling cities, but now, all that was left were ruins.
However, the strange thing was that on this planet, there was a large city that was still intact. It was out of place compared to the other places that were filled with ruins.
This was an extremely modern city. Just from the technology used in its civilian facilities, it was already at the level of a Tier 5 civilization.
However, even such a civilization, whether it was in space or on the planet, could not see any military forces. It was as if this civilization only developed civilian technology and did not develop any military technology.
In the center of the city, in a huge spire more than 3,000 meters tall, a group of scientists was in the huge space on the top floor, silently surrounding a special device.
This was a hibernation chamber built by the crystallization of the Tarak civilization's technology. The biggest difference between this hibernation chamber and the hibernation chambers of Tier 2 and Tier 3 civilizations was that this hibernation chamber of the Tarak civilization could even freeze its people inside for tens of thousands of years without any negative effects.
Even the technology of a rank 4 civilization would find it difficult to achieve such a feat. Although it was the same frozen hibernation, thousands of years would cause irreversible damage to the person who was frozen. Ten thousand years … To civilizations below rank 5, this was a legend!
However, even for the current Tarak civilization, ten thousand years was the limit. If this continued, it would also cause irreversible damage to the frozen people inside.
A group of the most outstanding scientists of the entire civilization had been waiting here for an entire month, but they still could not find a solution!
Through the transparent cover of the hibernation chamber, one could see that there was an extremely beautiful woman inside. This was the second person in the Tarak civilization, other than Zi Ling, who was hailed as the Holy Maiden by the entire civilization. She was also the hero who led the entire civilization to fight against the Zerg ten thousand years ago, Zi Luo.
The whole story started twelve thousand years ago.
At that time, Zi Luo, who was not even 30 years old, had relied on her outstanding commanding talent to become the Starfleet Commander of the Tarak civilization. Under her command, she had defeated the Type 5 Bug King Ebor, protecting the entire mother planet.
After that, it was unknown whether it was because Zi Luo's talent was too outstanding or because Zi Ling's bloodline was so compatible with dark energy.
In short, Zi Luo had miraculously sensed the existence of dark energy when the Tarak civilization was still at Tier 4.
Although she did not have the Dark Energy Auxiliary Calculation Device and could not mobilize the Dark Energy to the same level as the Federation's Dark Energy Manipulator, her body was still constantly baptized by the Dark Energy. From that day onwards, Zi Luo's appearance never changed, even after two thousand years. Furthermore, her brain was constantly developed, and her physical fitness was even more terrifying.
Compared to the Federation's Dark Energy Manipulators who took shortcuts, Zi Luo could be considered the purest natural Dark Energy Manipulator.
According to the Federation's standards, after two thousand years, Zi Luo had reached the level of an A-Class Dark Energy Manipulator of the Federation. However, without the Dark Energy Auxiliary Calculation Device, other than enjoying the long lifespan brought by the Dark Energy baptism and the quick and intelligent mind, she had no other use.
After all, as long as she had not reached the level of an S-Class Dark Energy Manipulator, she could not rely on herself to mobilize the Dark Energy.
It was also because of this that Zi Luo became the second Holy Maiden of the Tarak civilization after Zi Ling, and in the past two thousand years, she had been leading the race forward.
However, luck did not favor the Tarak civilization for too long. After the Zergs discovered that something was wrong, after frequent investigations, they finally discovered that there was a Tier 5 civilization at the edge of the small universe, and Ebor, who had been missing for a long time, was killed here.
As the Tier 1 Bug King who was in charge of all matters in this small universe, Jalan directly led an army here, ready to completely annihilate this civilization that dared to resist.
No matter how you advanced all the way to a Tier 5 technological civilization from under our noses, it's only right to annihilate you!
Unlike the time with Ebor, Jalan directly turned out in full force. Tens of thousands of Zerg swarms of various sizes, and there were even more than 30 King Bugs of various ranks. They all rushed toward Lancer in a mighty manner.
As the Holy Maiden of a race and the leader of the entire civilization, Zi Luo naturally knew very well that there was no possibility of negotiation with the Zergs. The only thing the Tarak civilization could do was resist. They resisted with the power of the entire race, hoping for a miracle.
However, resistance was futile. As a civilization that had just advanced to Tier 5 and did not colonize the outside world in order to not expose itself, the Tarak civilization's war foundation was so weak that they could not even stop the first wave of Zerg vanguard troops. All of the defense networks and fleets in space were completely destroyed.
The Zergs did not give Zi Luo any chance to breathe and launched an attack on Lancer.
An uncountable number of giant bugs descended from the sky and covered the entire planet. Even if the Tarak civilization had built a massive anti-air defense system on the surface for thousands of years, it was still useless. The number of Zergs was just … too many!
After easily breaking through the anti-air defenses on the surface, the insectoids went on a killing spree. The military bases and cities all over the planet were destroyed one after another. The helpless Taraq people were either devoured by the giant insectoids or captured to be used as nourishment for the next generation.
In just three days, except for the central city (where the Tarak tribe was originally located) and some surrounding satellite cities, all other cities and military bases were destroyed. The population of the entire civilization plummeted by 98%. Even Zi Luo, who personally led the army to resist the Zergs, was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Her subordinates risked their lives to save her.
However, Zi Luo's injuries were too severe. Even the medical technology of a Tier 5 civilization could only slow down and not stop the loss of her life.
In the end, in a situation where there was no other way, the civilization's upper echelons decided to use the device that was still being tested in the laboratory to temporarily freeze Zi Luo.
Just like that, Zi Luo fell into a deep sleep that lasted tens of thousands of years.
However, the Zergs would not give up on destroying this inexplicable technological civilization just because Zi Luo fell into a deep sleep.
Another day later, all of the satellite cities around the central city were reduced to ruins. The only thing left of the entire civilization was this first and last city and less than one percent of its population.
Just as everyone was despairing at the sight of the swarm of Zergs rushing toward the city, in the central temple of the city, the gift left behind by God Lin Yu, which had been preserved for thousands of years since the beginning of the primitive civilization, suddenly shot a beam of light into the sky. Then, a huge image was projected in the sky.
"Warning, this is the territory of the Human Federation. Leave immediately, or it will be regarded as an invasion!"
