Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 549 - 30: Leviathan

"The star-annihilating weapon is descending."

"Time remaining: 2 days, 23 hours."

When Su Ziyu’s spiritual energy consciousness transformed into a mind whisper spreading across the entire planet, a humanoid phantom located in the insect nest base thousands of kilometers away suddenly shivered all over, then emitted its mind wave saying, "Who are you?"

"Where are you?"

No response came.

Because Su Ziyu didn’t dare to connect with the plane’s collective consciousness of this planet, he merely transmitted this information as a mind whisper.

This planet is a bit different from others.

Not only humans are intelligent life on this planet. Theoretically, the collective consciousness is the convergence of spirituality from all intelligent beings, naturally including intelligent races beyond humans. Collective consciousness is merely a conceptual collective awareness of life, mainly driven by the minds of intelligent beings. Since the consciousness of intelligent beings is stronger, human collective consciousness is only a part of it.

Generally, the collective consciousness of a single race of intelligent beings forms more easily, but if there are multiple intelligent races, the collective consciousness will contain conflicting parts.

Because the collective consciousness formed by different races may not fully integrate.

Su Ziyu is reluctant to connect with the collective consciousness because there are intelligent races other than humans on this planet.

Synchronizing consciousness with the insect race’s hive mind wouldn’t be a good thing.

"Broodmother."

"The genetic seed has been brought back." A mind wave from a brain insect came.

Within the entire swarm, there are no more than three hundred beings with self-awareness. They are all high-tier combat units of the swarm, assisting the Broodmother in controlling the vast swarm under the dominance of the hive mind.

"Place it into the incubation pool."

After determining the inability to connect with the being emitting the mind whisper, the silhouette of the Broodmother arrived in the central hall, behind it a bloody pipe connected to the hall. This humanoid body was merely a shell created for convenient movement, not its true form.

"Yes." The brain insect responded.

Very soon.

An entity resembling a facehugger floated in the sky, slowly descending amidst the protection of numerous spiky flying dragons, landing inside the insect nest.

The insect nest had already risen to the ground level, countless worker bees bustling about hauling resources. The incubation pool beside the base was a massive pool flowing with dark red liquid, emitting a uniquely special life energy, where countless swarm creatures began their genetic mutations.

Bang.

Suddenly, waves surged inside the incubation pool, accompanied by a hollow, headless corpse being tossed into it. Soon, immense energy and nourishment were infused within.

Visible to the naked eye.

A ten-meter diameter lump of flesh appeared in the center of the incubation pool, pulsing slowly and forcefully like a heart, emitting a unique energy force field.

"Level 10 spiritual wave."

"Enough."

The silhouette of the Broodmother glided across the fungal carpet, a hint of excitement in its expression, muttering, "The genetic seed of the strongest space marine on this planet."

"Should be sufficient as the genetic core of the Leviathan."

Drip, drip.

At this moment, a creature emerged from an adjacent cavity, with very smooth skin resembling a maggot on its upper body, and numerous articulated limbs on its lower body, speaking slowly, "Broodmother."

"The genetic seed of the disaster carries void pollution."

"Once Leviathan forms, it might not be under our control."

The Broodmother slowly turned to glance at it, under its powerful spiritual energy pressure, it submissively lowered its head, and the Broodmother slowly said, "It will submit."

"Because it is also part of the swarm."

"Proceed."

"Implant the genetic seed into Leviathan’s brain! Supply the nutrients of the entire swarm to the Leviathan larva, I need it to form within two days."

The creature resembling a maggot bowed, "Yes, Broodmother."

Very soon.

Amidst transportation by a peculiar group of alien insects, the massive organ of flesh slowly moved to the central cocoon, accompanied by the gradual splitting of dark red flesh, they implanted this seed into the enormous body of the Leviathan larva.

Thump, thump!

Heavy heartbeat sounds echoed.

"Implant completed."

"Begin supplying nutrients!"

Inside the insect nest base, along the blue-purple fungal carpet, countless bloodred pipes gradually formed, extending directly to the central giant cocoon, massive amounts of nutrient substances being supplied into the interior of the Leviathan larva. Visible to the naked eye, on the outermost part of the swarm, some blood organs and cavity structures began to wither bit by bit, as the entire energy of the nest was infused within.

"Implant incubation cavity!"

"Implant spore trajectory cavity!"

"Implant central control room!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Orders were given, visibly the body of the Leviathan larva swiftly expanded, initially only a few hundred meters in length, but quickly grew to nearly a thousand meters, and this was just the beginning as the Leviathan’s body continued to swell, gradually encompassing some blood organs.

"Not enough."

"Far from enough. Let the swarm continue collecting nourishment, eradicate all nearby flesh organisms." The Broodmother’s cold command echoed, "Leviathan needs more nourishment."

In the central area of the insect nest.

Visible to the naked eye, a creature resembling a mountain-like giant whale was gradually taking shape, the spiritual wave emanating from its body grew increasingly strong, from an initial level 1 spiritual wave, rising to level 5, level 6, level 7, and continuing to rise. Accompanied by the intensification of spiritual waves, its enormous body began to slowly ascend, ultimately suspending above the insect nest, while below were tens of thousands of blood pipes supplying it with nutrients.
