Chapter 3289 Parasite
Meanwhile, the allied forces of the clans have fallen into complete chaos.
In just two minutes, ships quickly lost contact with each other on the communication channel, gradually becoming ships contaminated by the Seed of Ouroboros.
Commander Erwin looked shocked.
He never imagined that the war would unfold in such a one-sided manner.
They resisted.
But it was utterly unstoppable!
The fleet hastily assembled by the clan to form the first line of defense was indeed intended to probe the enemy's strength.
More precisely, the Familia wanted to use the Allied Forces' strength to slow down the advance of the Ouroboros Seed Insect Star.
But Erwin never expected that the strength of the insect planet would be so outrageous!
It was even more than ten times more terrifying than when they encountered the Insect King Tantalo!
The other party is definitely hiding their presence!
As he watched the ships sink rapidly into the spore cloud, Erwin's heart sank to the bottom.
Knowing that the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, there was no need to continue. He immediately said, "Pass down the order to retreat immediately!"
"Yes!!"
In the main control room, the crew of crew members immediately took control of the ship to prepare for an emergency jump and withdrawal from the battlefield.
However, the data displayed on the screen shocked them. The ship's operators looked as if they had seen a ghost, with large beads of sweat streaming down their faces.
Erwin sensed something was amiss and demanded, "Why haven't we started preparing for the jump yet?"
"Commander, the ship is under unknown interference, and the warp drive system is ineffective."
The control room fell silent.
"What's the reason!?"
The ship's navigator kept pressing buttons, his voice trembling slightly, "No, I don't know, we're still investigating..."
It wasn't just the three giant flagships of the clan; the other allied ships also reacted quickly to the retreat order.
However, all the ships encountered the same problem.
For some unknown reason, the jump system has completely failed!
Unexplained failure!
Normally, they could conduct inspections, but at this critical moment, there was simply no time for the ships to undergo a comprehensive check!
The ships could only watch helplessly as the red spores and alien swarms that spread across the starry sea enveloped them.
"Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"
Ships were infected by the spores, and tentacles of the Ouroboros Seed pierced out from inside the ships, turning them into a parasitic habitat for the Ouroboros Seed.
They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't escape...
In a short time, as row after row of ships gradually fell, even the three giant flagships of the clan at the very back of the fleet were gradually submerged in the red spores.
……
More than ten minutes later.
All three hundred-plus clan alliance warships were infected by the Zerg parasite, their hulls covered with blood-red tumors and tentacles.
The insect servants returned to the insect planet once again.
Fang Heng looked up, gazing at the fleet on the star sea completely infected by alien spores.
Through his mental powers, he could issue commands to infected ships and control them to navigate through the stars. However, ships infected by the spores of the Ouroboros Seed completely lost their ability to teleport and could only rely on parasitic tentacles to roam the stars.
This roaming speed is very slow, and the parasitized ships have very low attack and defense capabilities, making them almost unusable in combat.
However, Fang Heng soon discovered that as long as the ships were not too far from his body, he could accelerate them by actively activating his mental power.
In addition, infected ships can also serve as transit points for wormholes!
After all, the teleportation distance of ordinary wormholes is limited. If the two planets are too far apart, it is impossible to use wormholes for rapid troop transfer.
Having an infected ship changes everything; he can set up a wormhole on the ship as a movable intermediate node to connect the wormholes of two planets.
In this way, a single ship can double the theoretical teleportation distance of a wormhole!
If the distance is still not enough, then send another ship as a second node.
In theory, if he possesses an infinite number of ships, he has an infinite wormhole transmission range...
"Not bad..."
Fang Heng muttered to himself, turning his gaze away from the ship, and said calmly, "Continue forward, target: the main star of the clan, UU-03."
"Yes, Lord Insect King!"
The insectoid planet, covered in tentacles, slowly accelerated again, while the infected fleet gathered around it also slowly turned, following the insectoid planet as they rapidly approached the clan's headquarters.
……
Planet UU-03.
Headquarters of the Dependents.
"What? The entire reconnaissance fleet was wiped out?"
Upon hearing the news, Valentine, the highest-ranking official of the headquarters, stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could three of the most elite giant clan warships, along with over three hundred allied fleets, be completely wiped out in the blink of an eye?!
This power can even withstand some resistance from the Insect King!
How come not a single ship escaped?
The subordinate respectfully reported: "Sir, based on the last images and recordings transmitted by the fleet, we have confirmed that the fleet has been infected by the Ouroboros Seed parasitism, and none of them survived."
"After a brief pause, the insectoid planet has resumed its invasion of our star system. In addition, the engineering department has made predictions based on the insectoid planet's movement trajectory, and its target is very likely to be one of our headquarters planets, UU-03."
Valentine took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Keep the recording. I need to review the battlefield situation immediately. Also, urgently send the recording to the High Consul and tell him that the Seeds of Ouroboros have returned and are rapidly approaching our headquarters. We need to immediately ask the gods for help."
"Yes!"
"Also, send an emergency request for assistance to all forces in the Seven Realms Martial Capital and immediately activate the planetary defense system! All high-level martial artists, assemble! Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
With the order from Senior Governor Valentine, the entire UU-03 clan headquarters immediately entered a state of war. A massive energy shield rose from the planet's surface, and countless defensive beam turrets rose from the ground, densely covering the entire planet's surface.
At the same time, thousands of warriors belonging to the clan flew out from various bases of the headquarters, and assembled into various teams to deploy defenses at various points inside and around the clan headquarters.
The Seed of Ouroboros arrived too quickly.
Only eight hours have passed since they discovered the abnormal fluctuations!
Less than twelve hours remain before we arrive at the insect planet.
Unfortunately, the God race is currently patrolling outside the star field. Even if they receive the news immediately and choose to return to provide support, it is uncertain whether they can return to headquarters within 12 hours.
Time is so tight!
The clan had already sent an emergency request for assistance to the Seven Realms Martial Capital and requested a meeting to deal with the second outbreak of the Ouroboros Seed, but Valentine knew very well that given the reaction speed of the various races in the Seven Realms Martial Capital, it was simply impossible to wait for support within 24 hours.
Headquarters must not be lost!
Valentine's face was grave, his fists clenched.
They can only rely on themselves now!
Hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from the Seven Realms Martial Capital and the Divine Race!
"Come on, Zerg! I'll show you the true power of our kin!" (End of Chapter)
