Chapter 566, Brainworm Tyrant

Gu Hang certainly knew what a brainworm was.

Although the Alliance had not yet dealt with the Void Zerg, there was already a lot of widely circulated research information about these powerful enemies that the Empire had recently encountered.

It must be pointed out that in this universe, all kinds of intelligent races and civilizations are emerging in an endless stream.

But most of the ones the Empire encountered were not worth mentioning. The worst ones were just civilizations that had developed on their own planets and had not yet entered space; the stronger ones were civilizations that were active in a few galaxies or at most multiple star regions.

People called this level of civilization a "pocket empire".

Compared with the huge size of the human empire, these civilizations were indeed like a "pocket".

In the historical records of the Empire, there had been alien civilizations that were much stronger than the Pocket Empire. But most of them were wiped out in the founding war that the Emperor led personally when he was still alive.

The alien civilizations that can be encountered now are all "pockets" for the Empire, and it doesn't take much effort to exterminate them. When expanding territory, encountering this kind of thing is at most a minor problem.

By the way, in the Solar Expedition, most of the targets of the Solar Lord's expansion were actually this kind of enemy.

However, among the many new enemies discovered by the human empire, only the Void Zerg is the most terrifying.

No one knows where they come from. They are locusts in the universe, devouring one vibrant planet after another in large areas.

They are the ultimate predators, and human records of them are always centered around words such as "plunder", "devour", and "evolution". They can not only tear the enemy to pieces with their claws, but also use biochemical guns to shoot remotely, including biochemical artillery and biochemical Terra Zerg. The biological warship clusters rampant in space are the doomsday of the Imperial Navy.

And it is not just an enemy of humans. Other space forces have all been attacked cruelly and ruthlessly by this monster.

The Void Zerg is the pinnacle of biological evolution, and exists for only one simple purpose: reproduction, endless reproduction. By digesting and absorbing the organic matter of the entire planet, these monsters multiply more and more, and they will continue to absorb genes to transform themselves, turning themselves into more deadly killing machines.

Only fools would regard the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of the Tyranids as a manifestation of their lack of intelligence. The hive mind coldly and precisely controls the activities of all Zerg colonies to ensure the survival of the entire group.

The hive mind is an abstract existence without actual individuals. It is a super-information concept collection with extremely powerful energy condensed by the Zerg cluster in the real world and the subspace.

As a high-dimensional life, the operating instructions of the hive mind are transmitted through nodes, and can even interfere with the brains of nearby creatures, making them fearful and uneasy, and amplifying the fear of psychics.

In Gu Hang's view, this thing called "Zerg Shadow" and "Subspace Shadow" that came with the arrival of the Zerg is a reverse influence of real creatures on the subspace.

The subspace is an immaterial world and a sea of ​​souls.

The Void Zerg, seemingly a monster without souls and emotions. However, they are still creatures existing in the real universe. A single insect may not have individual will, but the hive will of the combined Zerg swarm is extremely huge. It will naturally be reflected in the subspace and become a ruthless subspace monster.

When the swarm passes by, part of the hive will descends with the swarm, and it will "suppress" the subspace in the corresponding area.

In other words, it is a kind of cold characteristic of the swarm. The hive will is cold and emotionless, only surviving, plundering, devouring, and reproducing. When it occupies the mainstream in the subspace, all psychic activities in this area will naturally be suppressed.

Human psychics are better, just a headache, cut off the connection with the subspace. Demons and Chaos believers are more affected. In the few wars between the Void Zerg and Chaos Demons observed by the Empire, the latter never gained any advantage.

Correspondingly, when the Void Zerg devoured some races that were good at using psychic energy, such as the Space Eldar and the Chaos Demons, they not only further mastered the means of using the shadows of the subspace to suppress psychic reactions, but also evolved things like brain worms in the cluster.

Neurozoa, the king of brain worms, are extremely top-notch psychic control units.

It is generally believed that neurozoa have the strength of Alpha-level psychics.

The Alfonzo sect is really brave.

They dared to try to enslave something of this level?

The key is... they really fucking succeeded?

However, the huge hidden dangers contained in this must still exist.

After Gu Hang knew that the battle led by the Infinite Corps, the Bat Corps, and the Anti-foreign Inquisition on the northern battlefield of the Spider Web Universe was blocked by the Void Zerg, he strongly suspected that the Iron Armor Corps might have some unclear relationship with the Zerg.

Otherwise, when the Iron Armor on the northern battlefield was unable to block it, a worm plague suddenly broke out on the marching route. That would be too coincidental.

Therefore, Gu Hang had conducted research specifically on the psychic power of the Void Zerg, just to prepare for the rainy day and avoid being helpless after encountering such an enemy.

The current scene opponent seemed to be different from the expected, but some of the methods prepared by Gu Hang could still be used.

However, before using those methods, Gu Hang thought that there was a simpler, more direct and more destructive method that he could try first.

Since this psychic power is not from the Alfonzo sect, then... can it be made out of control?

If a neurozoan with Alpha-level psychic power loses control and goes berserk in the enemy's war ark, what will be the result?

Are the several sages of the main profession in that ship able to suppress it?

Gu Hang is not sure.

The Mechanicus is also capable and should not be underestimated.

But even if they can, huge chaos in the ship is inevitable.

This is almost equivalent to destroying the most powerful war ark among the enemy.

While thinking, Gu Hang's actions never stopped.

His psychic power continued to entangle with the psychic power of the neurozoan, but the entanglement was very... careless.

Du Bo felt that Gu Hang's psychic power had become easier to deal with.

Although he was doubtful, this was good news.

Anyway, he had given up the idea of ​​using the psychic power of the neurozoa to attack the alliance ships.

He just needed to entangle Gu Hang's psychic power and prevent him from destroying his warships. Even if Gu Hang suddenly withdrew his power later, he was determined not to be fooled. He would just guard his main warships honestly and wait for Gu Hang's power to emerge again, and then entangle him immediately.

As long as Gu Hang's psychic power could not affect his own ships, the firepower of the Mechanicus fleet would be enough to destroy the alliance fleet.

Du Bo had no doubt about this.

But in the next moment, Gu Hang's psychic power suddenly condensed into a very tough and penetrating force, which penetrated a large hole in the neurozoa's subspace primitive energy group.
