Chapter 166: God’s Tomb, Divine Spark
Xu Luo in his Divine Domain was very puzzled about how he suddenly parasitized three Demi-God avatars.
Moreover, weren't these three avatars a bit like paper tigers? They had no vigilance at all, allowing him to parasitize them so easily. Everything went too smoothly!
However, in the current situation, he didn't have the mindset to care about so much, because his consciousness was now remotely observing the battle.
As for the targets of his observation, they were naturally those he had invaded.
At this time, he had already arrived at the central position of the current star region.
He didn't care who was nearby, which civilizations they belonged to, or how many years they had developed.
Upon arrival, he found a target and directly engaged.
At this moment, he had 200 starships and over 300 Leviathans moving out together, forming a formation, accompanied by a large number of Gold-tier Xenomorphs. It could be said that they could kill anyone or anything in their way.
Even the top geniuses among alien races couldn't ignore him at this moment.
With such terrifying power attacking a single target simultaneously, it was naturally invincible, directly steamrolling the opponent.
After steamrolling, Xu Luo immediately began to deploy Alpha Assimilation Zerg to parasitize the remaining beings. After packing and taking away everything valuable in the Divine Domain, he then dug out the Divine Domain core.
As for the remaining empty shell of the Divine Domain land, there was no way to deal with it. It was too far from his own Divine Domain to be absorbed.
As for letting floating collectors harvest it, it was, after all, a Divine Domain land, and couldn't be collected in a short time, so it could only be abandoned.
At this time, the key was to move with lightning speed, taking down as many targets as possible before others could react.
Letting Alpha Assimilation Zerg develop in plane worlds was only considering long-term plans. The real quick money-maker was still robbing other Divine Domains.
Going all out against one person naturally didn't matter how much was consumed, but using hundreds of starships to attack a single Divine Domain felt a bit like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.
Xu Luo didn't think too much about it at this time. It didn't matter how big the commotion was; as long as it could attract others, it was fine.
At this moment, he wanted to create a huge disturbance to attract those powerhouses. After directly eliminating them, he would become the strongest in this area, then forcibly bring all nearby people under the Umbrella's protection.
As for those not under the Umbrella's protection? That was simple - let them be destroyed. Where the Umbrella was, there were only its members. Other people? What other people?
Xu Luo's goal was very clear. He wanted to single-handedly monopolize all the resources in the central position of the entire star region. Eating alone was indeed very delicious!
Good things, of course, couldn't be shared with others.
When his strength wasn't enough, he still needed to distribute part of the benefits. But now he didn't need to do this at all.
The more benefits he occupied, the more powerful Zerg he could hatch, making his own strength more terrifying and dealing with others more easily.
As for his previous consideration that doing this would cause enormous consumption and lead to the replenishment of subsequent Zerg not keeping up with the rate of consumption, this was the reason he had restrained himself and developed slowly, step by step.
But now, there was no need to consider this problem at all.
Alpha Assimilation Zerg could turn enemy soldiers into his own Zerg, which was already enough.
Although it couldn't completely solve his production shortage problem, combined with the Queen's own egg-laying quantity, at least consumption and replenishment could be balanced.
Zerg themselves grew stronger through battle, continuously growing in combat. In a situation where there was no need to worry about consumption, of course, they should develop as fast as possible.
Because the more he consumed, the greater the benefits he obtained, and these lost troops could be quickly replenished.
War profits were always the easiest to make.
As long as you had the strength, the appetite, and could digest it, there was never a need to worry about consuming too much in war.
When he came directly, after eliminating some powerhouses, Xu Luo didn't bother to notice which civilization they belonged to.
Anyway, he directly overwhelmed them with superior forces. After eliminating their living forces, he let Alpha Assimilation Zerg assimilate and parasitize the rest. Zerg eggs replenished his troops, then he plundered valuable things and snatched away the Divine Domain cores, directly sending the opponents away.
Not only did this strengthen his own forces, but it also weakened the strength of enemy alien races. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As for the problem of not having Umbrella members nearby, Xu Luo could only say this wasn't a problem at all. Where he was, there was the Umbrella. The Umbrella members were all developed by him.
Soon, all alien races in the nearby area knew that a big player had come, directly wiping out many powerful experts in one go.
Moreover, the steps of invasion had not stopped.
Although there were usually some interest conflicts between everyone, and sometimes they would fight, everyone disliked such rule-breaking behavior. Everyone would have a sense of empathy for the hunted.
Now that others had been eliminated, would it be their turn next?
So many people spontaneously united, wanting to eliminate this powerful opponent. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about being threatened next.
Therefore, the Zerg once again experienced an encirclement.
It was during this encirclement that Xu Luo sensed those three unfortunate Demi-God avatars had actually been parasitized by Alpha Assimilation Zerg seeds. This was really unexpected, but at this point, there was no time to consider so much. He had to resolve the current situation first.
Dragons soared through the sky, angels emerged, flames burned, and frost descended!
The entire battlefield was filled with various spells and races.
The noise was deafening, like a scene of the apocalypse.
Anyone who saw this scene would be shocked, not expecting such a war to occur in the Novice Divine Domain.
Beacons of war lit up the sky, and wild bombardments occurred without warning. The level of brutality was beyond anyone's expectations.
Moreover, from initially only a part of the people fighting, more and more people joined in, eventually evolving into a massive melee between countless top geniuses. There were even people from other star regions who specially moved their Divine Domains to participate in the battle.
Initially, it was just a battle for the resources in the central area of this region. But unexpectedly, when the Stam Ray Worms conducted their beam attack, they accidentally struck out a God's Tomb hidden in the void. As a result, everyone became even more frenzied.
Originally, just a God's Tomb wasn't enough to attract these top geniuses.
But an aura emanating from this God's Tomb was extraordinary.
Because someone detected that hidden within that aura was a fluctuation belonging to a Divine Spark.
What was a Divine Spark?
It was the convergence of a God's power, the manifestation of rules, the representative of divine authority, and the embodiment of divine duties.
The Divine Spark was the core power of a God because, essentially, Gods themselves had no power.
Their power source came from countless believers, gathering vast amounts of faith power. The Divine Spark, as a transfer station, was the foundation for concentrating this power.
Moreover, the Divine Spark wasn't that simple. It contained various mysterious powers that could tap into the rules of the entire God's Domain, ascending step by step.
It was because of the fluctuation of the Divine Spark's aura that it directly attracted top geniuses from other star regions to specially move over and participate in this massive melee.
This war had fundamentally changed, from competing for star region hegemony to competing for the ownership of the Divine Spark.
Generally speaking, after a God falls, their Divine Spark would also be annihilated and shattered, leaving nothing behind.
But this wasn't absolute. If a God's strength was powerful enough and their understanding of rules reached a certain level, even if they themselves were annihilated, because the Divine Spark was deeply integrated with the rules, some power would be left behind at that time.
Although not as powerful as the original, it was still incredibly precious for low-level Gods.
Moreover, for these Demi-Gods, even just a fragment of a Divine Spark was extremely important.
For a Demi-God to ascend to a Celestial God wasn't difficult, but ascending from Celestial God upwards had corresponding requirements at each step. It wasn't just about meeting the faith power requirement.
Especially when reaching True God, it required divine power, Divine Spark, rule comprehension, and so on to meet the requirements.
If one could obtain a Divine Spark, it was equivalent to ascending to heaven in one step, directly comprehending the rules inherent in this Divine Spark, deriving one's own law power.
Using this Divine Spark as the core, integrating it into one's own Divine Domain core, merging the two.
As long as other conditions were met, one could smoothly become a True God.
This was also a shortcut pursued by many Gods. Therefore, if one could get a Divine Spark in advance in the Novice Divine Domain, it would naturally be a very happy thing, not having to slowly cultivate and comprehend by oneself.
This was why top geniuses from other star regions came over.
At the beginning, Xu Luo still faced many top geniuses single-handedly, but later, he gradually felt overwhelmed. Even with his Zerg fleet, with tens of millions of Zerg going all out at this moment, the opponents he faced were too numerous. Even with Face Huggers continuously producing Xenomorphs, and Xenomorphs continuously devouring enemy flesh on the battlefield to enhance their strength, the enemies were simply too many. Xu Luo was still defeated badly.
If it were just the geniuses from this star region, they naturally wouldn't be a match for Xu Luo.
But unexpectedly, due to the appearance of the God's Tomb, the fluctuation of the Divine Spark's aura attracted a large number of top geniuses from other star regions.
Because Xu Luo appeared strong, these top geniuses prioritized targeting him, wanting to eliminate the strongest first. This way, no one could compete with them afterward.
After his Zerg suffered huge damage, Xu Luo made a quick decision. He directly commanded all the Stam Ray Worms on the starships to conduct a round of simultaneous firing. At that moment, in the void, only an extremely dazzling light could be seen.
Countless Stam Ray Worms' rays converged together, forming a beam that pierced through heaven and earth.
Wherever the beam went, it directly pierced through everything, even more powerful than when he destroyed that high-level plane world before.
Because this time, hundreds of starships were firing simultaneously, several times more than before.
Moreover, the number of Stam Ray Worms loaded on the starships now was much more than at that time, naturally making the power even greater.
This sudden burst of power was enormous, simultaneously piercing through several top geniuses' Divine Domains. One sweep eliminated countless starships, naturally melting all enemies on them.
After eliminating many enemies in one go and frightening those surrounding top geniuses, Xu Luo unhesitatingly commanded his starships to retreat.
He wasn't a fool, facing so many enemies and still engaging in a death struggle with them.
It was true that his Zerg could be continuously replenished.
But that also required time, and he needed to spend faith power to hatch them. He naturally didn't want to bear unnecessary losses.
Moreover, if he lost too many at once, even if he wanted to replenish, it would still take some time.
Whether it was the Queen's egg-laying or Alpha Assimilation Zerg's assimilation, they all needed time to accumulate. Even with Zerg eggs, hatching wasn't instant; it still needed to be done gradually.
Moreover, with the appearance of the Divine Spark, Xu Luo naturally wanted a piece of the pie.
If he exhausted all his forces at this time, what would he use to compete with other powerhouses when entering the Divine Domain later?
He didn't know if that Divine Spark would be useful to him, but whether it was useful or not, he would grab it first and then decide.
If he couldn't use it himself, he could sell it to others.
The price of a Divine Spark was completely incomparable to that of a Divine Domain core. Such a deal was naturally very profitable. Xu Luo thought about this very clearly.
Since he wanted to escape, others naturally couldn't catch up with him.
The speed of ordinary starships was actually constant, not differing much. But Xu Luo's starships were specially built.
They sacrificed attack power, specifically enhancing movement speed and the starship's own sturdiness.
So when he fled at this time, others simply couldn't catch up with him. He disappeared in a flash.
Because from the beginning, Xu Luo had thought it through. He wanted to employ guerrilla tactics, relying on absolute speed to bully others.
Hit and run, just to make sure others couldn't catch up.
When doing bad things, one must run fast. Otherwise, if caught by others, the consequences would be very miserable. He had a deep understanding of this point.
Now, let's wait until they determine the outcome before deciding what to do next.
