Chapter 172 Torch Learns Beam

The movement of the torch also caused the Silent Field to move. Although the remaining, or those that had transformed into metal plants, also had a relatively small area of Silent Field, for the decomposers that needed to rely on the command of the insect consciousness, these remaining Silent Fields were insignificant and not enough to hinder their movement.

Like a black tide, these decomposers swiftly swarmed towards the metal plants, their sharp mouthparts cleaving at the hard metal. Despite the toughness of these metal plants, the decomposers were not without their own defenses. They secreted a powerful, corrosive acid, dissolving and softening the metal bit by bit before devouring it.

When these little guys have fed themselves contentedly and their bellies are full, they will actively crawl into the digestive pool, and instantly disappear into the dark and deep pool water along with themselves and the various substances that have not been completely digested in their bodies, and are ready to start a new round of biological transformation and evolution using this special genetic code.

At this time, they were completely unaware that this seemingly ordinary action was actually the starting point for the swarm consciousness to be affected. Although at the beginning, this effect seemed subtle and imperceptible, as time went on and the number of individuals continued to increase, they would gradually and subtly produce huge changes.

The transition from consumer to producer.

At the same time, the massive torch, like a moving mountain, continued to advance with heavy and unwavering steps. Every time its feet landed heavily on the ground, it would stir up a low and muffled ground-shaking sound, which resounded around like rolling thunder, as if even the vast earth was trembling at its presence.

During this time, the Zerg's vast forces, previously hidden in the depths of space, arrived with the swiftness of a storm. A vast, dark vessel, nearly obscuring the entire sky, quietly appeared above the planet's orbit. In an instant, the already dim sky darkened, as if enveloped by a thick, black veil. The immense gravity exerted by this behemoth was even beginning to severely impact the stability of the planet below. As the pull intensified, the earth began to tremble violently, and fragments of stone and large clods of earth broke free from gravity's grip and slowly ascended into the sky.

Yet, even faced with such a shocking sight, the torch's forward steps never faltered. It gazed upward at the inky black shadows overhead, its gaze fixed on the object continuously dropping long, tubular objects from orbit. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these tubes were capable of flexing and twisting like tentacles, drawing out various liquids, such as lake water.

Some of these tentacles began to wrap around the torch, forcing it to slowly stop. The torch was displeased, and its entire body suddenly flashed with dazzling arcs of electricity, crackling and flaring, as if it was about to tear the darkness apart. The biological atomic furnace released a powerful electric current, attempting to electrocute the entangled tentacles. However, surprisingly, the tentacles showed no reaction to this terrifying electric shock, and even absorbed the current easily like a sponge soaking up water.

Slender, flexible tentacles had already firmly bound the torch's mountainous form. They tightened with astonishing speed, like incredibly strong ropes, tightly constricting their prey, attempting to lift the torch up and carry it away.

At this moment, the Torch suddenly let out a silent roar. Although this roar was silent, the high-frequency vibrations contained in it were as tangible as substance, violently shaking the surrounding air. Under this invisible impact, some of the Torch's tentacles were instantly shaken off, revealing the scarlet biomass within.

As if mastering some secret, the torch began to radiate a dazzling arc of sparks. These sparks leaped and danced like nimble spirits, forming a dazzling ring of sparks. As time passed, the ring gradually contracted, as if drawn by an invisible force, slowly converging toward the top of the torch.

And, surprisingly, the radius of the spark circle became smaller and smaller, while at the same time, the frequency of its rhythm became faster and faster. When the spark circle moved to the position of the torch mouth, it actually emitted a shocking yet silent roar in accordance with this high-frequency flashing rhythm!

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing the air with lightning speed. The beam of light paused for only a moment before sweeping across a vast semicircular area.

Above the planet's orbit, the enormous biological warship, obscuring the entire sky, was quietly hovering. The beam of light ejected from the torch's mouth struck the biological warship squarely, leaving a long, gradually fading arc of red light on its surface.

The light gradually becomes thinner, just like the beautiful trail left by a shooting star across the night sky.

The huge vine metal plant named Torch seemed to have found something interesting, and more complete circles of arc sparks began to appear around its body.

Rings of sparks converged in front of its mouth like a tide, and then a longer-lasting, more dazzling column of particle light suddenly appeared, sweeping across the sky with the force of thunder. Those tentacles dangling from the sky, their fangs and claws bared, were like cardboard before this powerful beam of light, ruthlessly cut off one by one.

As time went on, it continued to explore more powerful and dominant high-frequency energies. Circle after circle of sparks gradually condensed. With each additional circle, the sparks in front of its mouth became more and more dazzling, and the color gradually changed from orange to a rich red. This was the limit of its current control.

Instantly, a surging wave of air surged in, accompanied by a deafening roar. A burst of red and white light erupted, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire world. The terrifying beam, like a roaring dragon, pushed aside the red mist and shot towards the target ahead. It effortlessly merged into it, leaving behind an immense red spot, like a small sun.

The beam then continued to demonstrate its astonishing destructive power, mercilessly piercing the massive biological warship. However, at this moment, the biological warship seemed to sense danger and urgently released a large, mysterious object. Seeing this, Torch was forced to temporarily stop cutting the biological warship and quickly control the beam to sweep towards the emerging threat.

A red and white beam of light, emitting a buzzing sound, swept straight across, splitting the descending black shadow in half.

Bang! Boom!

The black shadow's body shattered like fragile porcelain, followed by a deafening "boom".

The two halves of the shadow fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and gravel. They lay there in a twisted and strange posture, motionless, completely dead.
