"To completely destroy a planet-sized Leviathan swarm, it often takes two Titans firing simultaneously and splitting the enemy in two."
"Only in this way can it completely lose its vitality. Even if the subsequent swarm wants to rescue this Leviathan warship, they will not be able to save it. They can only dismantle the warship on the spot."
"Based on the data obtained from the current battle, our scientists have conducted a detailed analysis of the decomposition and creation of the swarm."
The Zerg swarm can dismantle a Leviathan-class warship and then rebuild a new one in just five years.
Five years might not seem like much to Zhou Qing, but to those in the war zone, it was practically phenomenal—the Empire building planetary-level warships. Let alone five years, it might not even take five hundred years to build them.
These insect swarms were so massive that only the Emperor himself could have destroyed them if Zhou Qing hadn't been there.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath to try and keep himself calm.
"So you mean that when you were out of the galaxy, you discovered that the Zerg swarm had a planetary-sized Leviathan fleet, and then you engaged them in battle?"
"So, based on the information received by the patrol fleet, have you confirmed the enemy's numbers?"
"We don't need an exact number, even just a rough estimate is best, we need to have a general idea in mind."
Given the trouble caused by the swarm this time, Zhou Qing no longer hoped that his patrol fleet would be able to directly detect the size of the enemy's main force.
However, having intelligence at hand is better than having no intelligence at all, even if the intelligence is not perfect or accurate.
Trajan thought for a moment and gave a number.
"So far, the number of Leviathan swarms that we have discovered is around 483."
"It's clear that these aren't all of their planetary Leviathans. Judging from the planetary scale you provided, most of their planetary Leviathans are around 16 units in size."
The planetary size of Holy Terra is 24 units.
"Some of these are particularly large planets, with a size of around 39 units, called Leviathan."
"The planetary Leviathan that the patrol fleet attacked should be around 18 units in size. We can confirm that the attack was launched with the main guns of the Titans. If two Titans attack together, they can destroy the enemy Leviathan, which is around 18 units in size. Anything under 20 units is acceptable."
This time the intelligence was much more accurate, and Zhou Qing incorporated it into his mind and made detailed calculations.
"Alright, I got it. How long do you think it will take for the Zerg swarm to reach the Limit Starfield?"
"Four months. It will only take them four months to approach the Empire's borders and launch an attack on the Limitless Starfield," Trajan reiterated, explaining the approach timeline.
"Okay, I understand. In addition to the four patrol fleets that need to be prepared for patrols in the Misty Starfield, the remaining four patrol fleets will also be handed over to you."
"Add the fleets currently patrolling the Solar Starfield, bringing your total number of patrol fleets under your command to eight. Now, assemble these eight patrol fleets and launch a preemptive strike!"
"My request is to delay as much as possible. We need time to recover, and we also need time to prepare."
"The enemy is unreliable, and our current military strength is insufficient to contend with them. Your task is to continuously harass this Zerg fleet and slow down their advance. Let me think of a way to deal with them."
"Have Guilliman send me all the data on the Empire's research on the Zerg; I need to understand them."
"Understood. I will convey your request to Regent Guilliman, who will send you all the intelligence on the Tyranids. I will personally lead the fleet into battle next."
Trajan stood ramrod straight and gave Zhou Qing a salute with the eagle, then turned and left.
The Imperial Guard remains the most powerful force in the empire, and Zhou Qing has not diminished their status. He prioritizes assigning them combat missions like fighting against the insect swarm.
Trajan was well aware of the responsibility he bore; he needed to defend the empire.
He needed to buy time for Zhou Qing, and also for the human empire, which needed to mobilize more resources and fleets to resist this insectoid invasion.
The last Zerg invasion left the entire Empire reeling; this one is on an even larger scale. If the Empire doesn't prepare in advance, it could be in even greater dire straits.
Trajan left Zhou Qing to continue his research once again.
The threat posed by the Zerg swarm is indeed enormous, but Zhou Qing needs to deal with the Warp God problem first. He can't afford to have them cause trouble for him while he's fighting the Zerg swarm, can he?
We need to quickly perfect this virus bomb and then release it into the warp to make those warp gods quieter, even though they've been quite well-behaved lately.
Chapter 199 Changes within the Subspace: The Evil God Who Could Only Watch Zhou Qing
Zhou Qing is still focusing his attention on the subspace, but the Emperor has been extremely happy lately.
The Emperor was indeed furious and pained that the situation of the 108 worlds in the Misty Starfield and the revival of humanity had been interrupted once again.
But when the war ended, the warp was much cleaner.
Large numbers of demons, or even those that attack alone, capable of destroying an entire planet, were easily crushed like pawns in this war.
The death of the Great Demon could not have been without some cost.
The reason we couldn't see the consequences before was because the real universe was also constantly sending all sorts of messy negative emotions into the subspace.
This includes a range of negative energies such as violence, killing, and war.
This results in the negative energy in the subspace not decreasing much, but rather increasing continuously.
However, this battle that took place in the 108th world caused a decrease in the ever-increasing negative emotions throughout the universe.
That was negative emotions and negative energy that the universe had accumulated for tens of millions of years, and a war wiped out half of it!
If another war like this were to break out, all the negative emotions in the warp would probably be wiped out, and those four guys would likely become true gods.
However, although it would be difficult to fight another war of this magnitude, the emperor's life had become much easier during this period.
The calm and peaceful subspace made him much happier, even as he sat on the golden throne.
In addition to that, the most important thing is the massive expansion of the Cursed Legion.
The 108 worlds did indeed suffer heavy losses, and the process of human revival was indeed interrupted. However, the expansion of the Cursed Legion made the demon army under Huang Laohan's command even stronger.
Zhou Qing values every human citizen and regards them as treasures, but Old Man Huang does not.
He values the concept of humanity itself, since he is not familiar with the others.
Old Man Huang has no choice but to take care of so many people; this is all he can do.
Although the 108 worlds suffered a severe blow that interrupted the revival of humanity, Chaos was no longer able to threaten Zhou Qing for a long time.
It won't be easy for the warp, which has been emptied of half its size, to return to its former glory.
The emperor's daily routine now consists of watching Zhou Qing research weapons to deal with warp demons.
At the same time, he made a joke about the four guys next to him.
The four Chaos Gods also saw Zhou Qing researching weapons to deal with them, since Zhou Qing had no intention of hiding from them at all, but instead openly researched them in front of them.
However, they are unable to intervene.
Do they really think Zhou Qing can do anything just by letting them watch?
After half of the negative emotions in the warp were cleared away, the demons themselves underwent some strange changes.
Not to mention that Zhou Qing himself is also a powerful psionicist. Although he can't defeat the four of them head-on, it doesn't mean he can't withstand a few hits.
Zhou Qing is currently researching weapons, preparing to make things difficult for the four of them. They'd better just bear it, otherwise, if they anger the scientist below, he might fight them to the death...
The thought of this scene made the four evil gods shake their large heads frantically, trying to shake the terrifying image out of their minds.
This must never happen. It's not scary to be targeted by a scientist, nor is it scary to be targeted by an enemy, but being targeted by a powerful scientist or your own enemy...
More importantly, they couldn't kill each other, which makes a difference.
Now Zhou Qing can produce things that make them uncomfortable. If you push this guy too far, who knows what he might pull out? What if he pulls out something that will make them suffer?
"What? You guys are so brave, aren't you? Let's see you try moving again."
Old Huang took another look at the Chaos Gods, and he couldn't resist teasing them once again.
"Shut up! You were just lucky this time. If you've got the guts, stand up!"
Seeing Zhou Qing preparing weapons to deal with him, while he himself was unable to intervene, he felt somewhat angry.
Hearing Old Huang's words when he was already in a bad mood, he couldn't help but retort.
"Huh? Are you serious?" Old Huang's voice rose several octaves, and he immediately prepared to stand up from the toilet.
We were having a good time and just exchanging some trash talk, why can't you handle it?
"Fake, fake, fake, okay? Sit down!" Seeing that Old Man Huang was about to stand up again, Khorne quickly gestured for him to sit down.
Even if everyone is convinced that Old Huang won't stand up, who knows if he might suddenly have a brain fart?
Under normal circumstances, they would be willing to give Old Huang face if he did this, otherwise, if he were provoked to the point of standing up, that would be a different story.
After Old Man Huang's intervention, the subspace returned to calm once again.
Old Huang resumed his spectator stance, ready to see the suffering of these warp gods when Zhou Qing's weapon was deployed into the warp.
The other four looked at Zhou Qing with a pained expression, constantly fiddling with their weapons.
They have even begun building factories to prepare for mass production on assembly lines.
What to do? They can't afford to mess with the subspace, and they can't afford to mess with the one outside either, so they can only put up with it. It's their own fault for getting carried away and fighting on Zhou Qing's territory.
However, they were still war gods in the subspace, and after watching Zhou Qing conjure up the bomb, they still managed to smile.
The Empire of Man's fleet has discovered the Zerg fleet beyond the galaxy. Since the Empire's fleet has already discovered the Zerg fleet, these warp gods naturally have some sense of it as well.
Although they didn't discover it, the sensation was there.
They were able to sense that the human empire was about to face an unprecedented natural disaster.
That's right, they're going to be tortured by Zhou Qing and unable to interfere with the real universe, but they also believe that the human empire won't have time to fight them when facing a huge natural disaster.
Everyone will suffer in the end, so it doesn't seem like it's a big deal for them to suffer a little?
With this in mind, the four warp gods regained their composure and returned to their spectator stance.
The situation in the subspace is as follows, while in the real universe—
During this time, Tarasin and Oberon remained stationed in the 108th world of the Misty Starfield with their warships, waiting for Zhou Qing to meet them.
For them, they have plenty of patience to wait here.
At the same time, Zhou Qing was, after all, the supreme commander of this star sector, and they could understand that he needed to clean up the mess after the war.
Human fleets could, of course, spot the undead fleet lingering in the void, but no one paid them any attention; instead, everyone was busy rebuilding their own bases.
Although the patrol fleet sometimes passed by the Necromancer fleet, it did not take any further action against them.
The other side is just standing here. We can't just start fighting them, can we? After all, we fought side by side not long ago.
And so a perfect misunderstanding was born.
The space necromancers want to see Zhou Qing, but the problem is that they haven't sent a formal invitation.
