NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 84: What to Do When Your Neighbor Becomes Powerful?
Climbing out of the game cabin in the plane battlefield facility, Xu Luo didn't know how Zhong Tianyue had transported him to the novice main city.
After all, normally, the game cabins here only had the function of connecting to plane worlds and one's own Divine Realm.
However, now wasn't the time to consider these things.
Since he had special permission from the authorities to do big things, with reimbursement for losses, Xu Luo naturally had no reason to refuse.
For him, the loss of units wasn't a big problem; they could be easily replenished, even if it took some time to recover.
More important were the various gene templates.
Previously, he only had a few Zerg units, but now, the types of units at his disposal were increasing.
In the past few days of invading intermediate plane worlds, he had gained substantially, unlocking two more Zerg species.
One was the Blood Leech, evolved from the Worm, a Bronze Tier 8 creature. The other was from a different branch, the Glow Bug evolved from spores, only Bronze Tier 1, capable of emitting weak light, currently without combat power. Xu Luo didn't know what future upgrade paths it might have.
However, the Blood Leech alone was very exciting for him.
About the size of a thumb, the Blood Leech looked unremarkable, and its skill was very simple - just blood sucking, not particularly powerful.
But it could firmly attach to creatures, constantly sucking their blood. When attacked or after absorbing enough blood, it would explode, forming a blood burst!
The splattered blood contained potent blood toxins that would immediately dissolve any creature it touched.
After testing, its power was even greater than the Acid Zerg's explosion.
If this were all, Xu Luo wouldn't have paid much attention; it was just another attack method.
But after collecting a large number of gene templates, talents, and skills, the Blood Leech fused with many genes and talent skills from the gene pool, evolving into the Silver Tier 1 Face Hugger.
Xu Luo couldn't quite describe this unit.
Although it was only Silver Tier 1, its potential was limitless.
Face Huggers could parasitize enemies, absorbing their bloodlines and energy.
To Face Huggers, all creatures were merely incubators for their eggs and a supply of flesh and blood.
The emergence of this creature also solved Xu Luo's problem of insufficient troops.
Face Huggers could lay many eggs at once. Although not high-level, they could devour everything and grow rapidly.
Moreover, they could fuse with different creatures, constantly evolving to adapt to various environments.
This also gave Xu Luo's large number of gene templates a use.
Returning directly to his home and logging into his Divine Realm using the game cabin, Xu Luo began to massively increase the number of Zerg.
While the Zerg were producing normally, he also searched for surrounding Divine Realms.
Previously, he looked for suitable targets for invasion, but now he just needed to find nearby Divine Realms. As long as they weren't human, other alien races could all be considered enemies.
These search tools were very precious; if not for the education department providing them, they couldn't be bought on the market.
However, this greatly facilitated Xu Luo's efforts.
His main chosen units were Earth Dragon Zerg for primary combat power, Worker Bees for reconnaissance, Butterfly Fairies and Butterfly Generals for support, Butterfly Queens for high-end combat power, the newly appeared Face Huggers, and Creeps formed by Mayflies.
With his battle plan ready, all he needed to do now was find attack targets, mass-produce units, and then use overwhelming force to steamroll through.
Seeing the newly opened human hunt scoreboard, Xu Luo showed little expression.
This scoreboard was a form of incentive for them.
It was rarely opened normally.
This time, facing the invasion of numerous alien races, the human leadership reopened this scoreboard, not only to encourage young people but also to declare their determination to the alien races.
In fact, the novice Divine Realm was now in complete chaos, not just with alien races fighting humans, but also battling among themselves.
After all, alien races near humans had enmity with humans, while those further away naturally had no interaction.
Although Ying Yingluo steamrolled everything, she hadn't provoked most alien races. She wasn't a madman, creating enemies for humans everywhere. Unless she had lost her mind, she naturally wouldn't do such things.
But in the novice Divine Realm, humans were under attack from all sides.
Although humans were numerous, compared to the countless civilizations of the entire interstellar era, their population wasn't that large. There weren't enough people for aliens to invade, so what to do?
Attack other alien races!
Because of this, they also began fighting among themselves.
Now the entire novice Divine Realm was in a free-for-all, with no clear distinction between enemies and friends.
Apart from their own race, only allies were somewhat reliable.
The chaos in the novice Divine Realm led to turmoil in the Continent of the Gods as well.
To gather faith power, many factions were selling various resources in large quantities, willing to sell at low prices to gather enough faith power to transport to the novice Divine Realm in the shortest time possible.
No one wanted to give up on this competition of the new generation.
This was a carnival; whoever won would gain everything, while the losers would lose everything.
They would be severely weakened and struggle to recover for many years to come.
Although the winners would also suffer heavy losses, after defeating their competitors, without competition, they would enter a period of rapid development in the future.
In the long run, it was naturally very worthwhile.
Facing a struggle for national foundations, naturally, no one would yield an inch.
Although humans didn't have a Main God presiding, Main Gods couldn't intervene in the real world, and there were other beings of the same level in the Astral Realm to keep them in check.
So in terms of lower-level forces, relying on their vast numbers, humans actually had a certain advantage at present.
If they weren't being attacked from all sides now, with the power within the novice Divine Realm alone, a single alien race wouldn't be enough to defeat humans.
After all, there were no civilizations above Level 4 near them.
Everyone's development was similar. We may not have a Main God presiding, but you don't have an obvious advantage either. Moreover, our numbers are greater than yours, so why couldn't we defeat you?
It was only in the Astral Realm that the human numerical advantage lost its effect.
In recent years, the alien races' restriction of human development wasn't without reason. Because of the large human population, if they were allowed to develop, with the ability to contend at high-level combat power, plus the numerous numbers at the lower levels, then with an endless supply of subsequent forces, they could quickly devour the surrounding alien races.
When your neighbor becomes powerful, you're the one who suffers, so those alien races naturally didn't want this to happen.
This time, Ying Yingluo's actions could be said to be just a fuse. Those alien races had been eyeing humans covetously all along, and now they had found an excuse to take action.
