All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the People's Federation, Marshal Chen Mo couldn't help but roar after hearing the report. He slammed his fist on the control panel next to him, sparks flew from the control panel, and the data stream on the screen paused slightly before scrolling rapidly again.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!" Marshal Chen Mo's voice was filled with anger and resentment. "Are we just going to stand by and watch our soldiers on the front lines sacrifice themselves in vain? Are we just going to stand by and watch the Zerg devour our homes and slaughter our compatriots?"

Throughout his life, he fought countless battles, never retreating or admitting defeat. Yet, now, facing such a frenzied and powerful insectoid race, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. He could command his soldiers to fight bravely and direct his warships to launch a full-scale counterattack, but he could not provide his soldiers with sufficiently powerful weapons and equipment, nor could he give them hope of survival.

The command centers of both federations were deathly silent, the oppressive atmosphere suffocating. Speaker Durant and Marshal Chen Mo both wore furrowed brows and grave expressions. They were stationed at their respective headquarters, bearing the safety of all humanity and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front lines, yet they could only watch helplessly as the war continued to deteriorate.

Just then, the communicator at the Star River Federation headquarters suddenly beeped with an urgent notification sound. Unlike the previous battle reports, this was a signal from a cross-federation dedicated communication system—from the Integrated Zerg Academy of Sciences.

Speaker Durant's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to the communicator, pressed the answer button, and said with a faint glimmer of hope, "This is Durant. Who is this?"

Almost simultaneously, the same inter-federation communication alert sounded on the communicator at the Human Federation headquarters. Marshal Chen Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He quickly stepped forward, pressed the answer button, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Mo is here!"

On the other end of the communicator came Su Qing's breathless yet incredibly excited voice, clearly transmitted to the two major federal command centers, reaching the ears of Speaker Durant and Marshal Chen Mo: "Speaker Durant! Marshal Chen Mo! Great news! Incredibly great news! Researcher Daidai has developed a warship enhancement module!"

"All experimental data are satisfactory. After equipping the module, the warship's firepower, defense, and speed will all increase by more than three times, effectively penetrating the Zerg's outer shell and countering Zerg sieges!"

Su Qing's voice, brimming with barely concealed excitement, quickly conveyed her message: "Daidai specifically instructed Speaker Durant to immediately order all Level 5 and above space stations in the Star River Federation's various star systems to coordinate with Titan-class fortresses to load modules onto the Star River Federation's new ships; and to instruct Marshal Chen Mo to have the Federation's space stations and fortresses work in sync to load modules onto your ships, ensuring all loading is completed within five cosmic hours, allowing them to reach the front lines and support the war effort!"

"In addition, the bio-enhanced armor that Daidai and Major General Yaoguang were researching together has also been completed! Using the Zerg gene cells brought back by Major General Yaoguang, the armor has extremely strong performance. Soldiers wearing it will have the ability to fight against advanced Zerg. Daidai said that he hopes it is still in time so that we can transport the armor to the front-line troops of the two major federations as soon as possible!"

As soon as Su Qing finished speaking, the command centers of the two federations fell into dead silence. Everyone was stunned, their faces showing disbelief, their eyes filled with shock and surprise, as if they could not believe their ears.

Speaker Durant gripped the communicator tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his voice trembling slightly: "Researcher Su Qing, is what you're saying true? You really developed the warship enhancement module? And the bio-engineered armor is really complete? You're not lying to me?"

He was so eager for good news, so eager for a breakthrough, that when he heard the news, he could hardly believe his ears. He knew about Daidai's talent. When the two federations established the Comprehensive Zerg Academy of Sciences, he personally approved Daidai's entry into the core laboratory. But he never expected that Daidai could develop such powerful weapons and equipment in such a short time. It was simply a miracle!

At the Human Alliance headquarters, Marshal Chen Mo's anger vanished instantly, replaced by extreme excitement and determination. He spoke into the communicator, his tone urgent yet incredibly solemn: "Researcher Su Qing, this matter is of utmost importance; there can be no mistakes! Are you sure all of Daidai's experimental data is up to standard? After the modules are installed, can the warship truly fight against the Zerg? Can the bio-engineered armor truly enable the soldiers to fight against advanced Zerg?"

"Speaker, Marshal, I'm certain!" Su Qing nodded firmly, her tone resolute. "I saw the experimental data and the simulations with my own eyes. The warship equipped with the modules easily wiped out a swarm of Zerg without any difficulty; the bio-engineered armor, which Daidai also personally tested, is incredibly powerful and can definitely handle advanced Zerg!"

"Daidai also said that this was the result of her and Major General Yaoguang's joint efforts. The Zerg gene cells that Major General Yaoguang brought back played a crucial role. Without those gene cells, the bio-enhanced armor could not have been completed so quickly!"

Upon hearing Su Qing's affirmative answer, the doubt and confusion on Speaker Durant and Marshal Chen Mo's faces were instantly replaced by excitement and elation. The huge weight that had been pressing on their hearts was finally lifted, and the flame of hope was finally ignited in their despairing hearts.

"Great! Great!" Speaker Durant couldn't help but shout excitedly, a long-lost smile appearing on his face. He turned to his staff and gave a stern, authoritative order: "Everyone, move out immediately!"

"Communications officer, immediately send orders to all Level 5 and above space stations and Titan-class fortresses in the Star River Federation's various star systems, instructing them to cease all non-essential work and fully cooperate in equipping all new Federation ships with the warship enhancement modules developed by the 'Dumb Researcher.' This must be completed within five cosmic hours, without the slightest delay!"

"Logistics department, immediately inventory the bio-enhanced armor developed by the 'Dumb' researcher and prioritize its allocation to the trapped troops at the front. Use the fastest transport ships to transport it to the front lines and distribute it to every soldier so they can quickly familiarize themselves with the armor's operation and be ready for combat!"

"Furthermore, immediately contact the Human Federation to synchronize our deployment and coordinate our efforts. Five cosmic hours later, the reinforcement fleets of both federations will depart simultaneously for the front lines to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Zerg and rescue the trapped soldiers!"

Almost simultaneously, in the command center of the People's Federation headquarters, Marshal Chen Mo also sternly ordered his staff, his voice resounding throughout the entire command center: "Everyone, perform your duties and take immediate action!"

"Communications officer, immediately send orders to all Humanitarian Union Level 5 and above space stations and Titan-class fortresses to fully cooperate with the ship module deployment operation. This must be completed within five cosmic hours. Those who delay will be court-martialed!"

"Logistics department, immediately liaise with the Integrated Zerg Academy of Sciences, obtain the bio-enhanced armor, pack and transport it, and deliver it to our frontline troops as quickly as possible to ensure that every soldier can don the armor and engage in combat!"

"Send a message to all troops at the front lines, telling them that reinforcements are coming soon. The researcher has developed a game-changing weapon and armor. Tell them to hold on, hold their ground, and not give up. We will definitely bring them home!"

The command centers of the two federations instantly became busy and orderly, their previous exhaustion and despair replaced by fighting spirit. The buzzing of communicators, the clatter of keyboards, and the shouts of staff mingled together, filled with vitality and hope—they knew this was their hope, their only chance to fight the Zerg, and they could not afford to slacken in the slightest, nor waste a single second.

Speaker Durant sat in the command chair, watching the busy staff with a satisfied smile. He picked up the communicator again and connected with Marshal Chen Mo, his tone filled with determination: "Marshal Chen Mo, it seems our hope has arrived. In five cosmic hours, our two federations will join forces and launch a full-scale counterattack. We must drive the Zerg out of our universe!"

Marshal Chen Mo's voice came from the other end of the communicator, equally firm and powerful: "Alright! Speaker Durant, see you in five cosmic hours! Make sure the reinforcements arrive at the front lines on time to rescue the trapped soldiers and avenge our fallen comrades!"

"It's a deal!"

After hanging up the communication, both men stared resolutely at the holographic screen in front of them. In their eyes, there was no longer any despair, only an unwavering belief in victory—they bore the safety of the entire Federation on their shoulders, and the lives of the soldiers on the front lines. This time, they would never back down, and they would never admit defeat.

Inside the Zerg Academy of Sciences, Su Qing let out a long sigh of relief after hanging up the inter-federation communication, a relaxed smile appearing on her face. She turned around and quickly walked towards the core laboratory—she needed to go back to be with Daidai, and also to keep an eye on matters related to modules and armor, ensuring that the deployments of the two federations could proceed smoothly, and ensuring that support troops could arrive at the front lines on time.

At the same time, in the various star systems of the two federations, all space stations of level 5 and above, and all Titan-class fortresses, immediately ceased all unrelated work and devoted themselves to the installation of warship modules after receiving orders from their respective supreme commanders.

Inside the Star Federation's space station, countless staff members, dressed in spacesuits, busied themselves around the warship, carefully constructing and installing the enhancement modules developed by Daidai into various parts of the warship, not daring to make the slightest mistake—they knew that every module was related to the lives of the soldiers on the front lines and the safety of the Star Federation, and they could not afford to be negligent in the slightest.

Upon receiving the message from the two federal headquarters, all the soldiers on the front lines were overjoyed, their faces filled with excitement and hope. Their previous exhaustion and despair were instantly replaced by fighting spirit—they knew that reinforcements would arrive soon, they knew that they were not fighting alone, and that the supreme commanders of the two federations were concerned about them at their respective headquarters, constantly searching for a way to break the deadlock and allocating support for them.

Sitting in the control chair of the landing ship, Yao Guang heard the news through the communicator. His originally solemn face showed a relieved smile, and a faint warmth flashed in his eyes. He knew that Dai Dai would definitely be able to develop an effective weapon and help them get out of their predicament. The bio-enhanced armor that he and Dai Dai had been researching together could finally be put to use.

"Everyone, did you hear that?" Yao Guang spoke in a deep voice to the crew and soldiers around him through the communicator, his tone filled with determination and fighting spirit. "The support from the rear will be here soon. Researcher Daidai has developed the warship enhancement module and bio-engineered armor. Speaker Durant and Marshal Chen Mo are at their respective headquarters, directing and deploying reinforcements. As long as we hold on a little longer and hold our ground, we will definitely defeat the Zerg, we will definitely survive and escape this hell!"

"Hold the line! Defeat the Zerg!"

"Hold the line! Defeat the Zerg!"

The crew and soldiers shouted in unison, their voices strong and clear, echoing throughout the cave, filled with fighting spirit and hope. They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes hardening. No matter how tired or how difficult it was, they would persevere, hold their ground, and wait for reinforcements.

The entire universe seemed to be ignited with a flame of hope because of this news. In the rear, the two federations raced against time, producing and installing modules and transporting armor. Speaker Durant and Marshal Chen Mo were each stationed at their headquarters, coordinating and directing the operation. On the front lines, soldiers fought bravely, held their ground, and awaited reinforcements. Everyone was striving and fighting for the same goal, giving their all to combat the frenzied Zerg.

However, just when everyone thought they were about to escape their predicament and defeat the Zerg, in a distant and eerie depth of the universe, in a fragment of a world that carried the Zerg and was integrated into this universe, an even greater crisis was quietly brewing.

This fragment of the world is eerie and dark, devoid of any light or life. The air is thick with the energy of the Zerg, and there is a suffocating sense of oppression, as if this were the entrance to hell, the birthplace of the Zerg.

At the center of the world fragment stands a colossal tower. This tower is ancient and majestic, entirely black, and its surface is covered with dense, eerie patterns. Dark red light flows within these patterns, emanating a strong aura of evil. It is as if this tower has existed for countless cosmic eras, witnessing countless wars and destructions.

At the very top of the tower was a huge palace. Inside, it was pitch black, without a single ray of light, except for the throne, which emitted a faint, dark red glow that illuminated a figure on it.

The throne was crafted from black crystal, engraved with countless bizarre insectoid patterns, so lifelike that it seemed as if those insectoids might awaken from the throne at any moment and devour everything.

A tall figure sat atop the throne, clad in a long black robe embroidered with eerie dark red patterns that echoed the designs on the tower. The hem of the robe trailed down the steps of the throne, exuding a strong aura of evil.

His long, jet-black hair cascaded over his shoulders, obscuring his face. Only his chin, with its sharp, defined lines, was visible. His skin was as pale as paper, devoid of any color. He exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, far more powerful than the Mantis King or any other high-level insectoid. It was as if he were the ruler of the insectoid race, the embodiment of evil, and the nightmare of the entire universe.

The figure sat motionless on the throne, eyes closed, as if it had been asleep for countless cosmic eras, without a trace of life, like a lifeless sculpture.

However, at this moment, a faint dark red light slowly emanated from his body. The light grew brighter and stronger, and the evil aura around him became more and more intense and powerful. The originally silent palace began to tremble slightly, and the patterns on the tower became brighter. The dark red light flowed faster and faster.

"Buzz—"

A deep hum emanated from the figure's body, and then his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

His eyes were not human black or brown, but dark red, like two burning hellfires. There was no impurity in them, only endless indifference and evil, and a trace of confusion after waking from a deep sleep. It was as if he had forgotten how long he had been asleep, forgotten who he was.

The figure slowly raised his right hand. His palm was pale and slender, and his fingertips trembled slightly. He felt the Zerg energy flowing around him, the aura of the tower, and the changes in this fragment of the world. A faint smile slowly curved his lips. The smile was cold and evil, sending chills down one's spine.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, hoarse, and ancient voice slowly came from his mouth. The voice seemed to have traveled through countless cosmic eras, carrying a trace of confusion, a trace of indifference, and a trace of unquestionable majesty. It slowly echoed in the empty palace, resounded throughout the entire tower, and even spread throughout the fragments of the world.

"I……"

"How long has it been asleep this time?"

His voice, though deep, carried a suffocating sense of oppression. As his words fell, the entire fragment of the world began to tremble violently. Countless dark red rays of light emerged from every corner of the fragment, converging towards the tower and merging into his body.

The evil aura surrounding him grew stronger and stronger, as if his power was rapidly recovering, his consciousness was quickly returning, and he was regaining control of this world that belonged to him, and of all the Zerg.

Inside the palace, the dark red light grew brighter and brighter, and the figure became clearer and clearer. He sat on the throne, his eyes coldly gazing down, as if he were looking down on the entire universe, as if everything in his eyes was just an ant, just a plaything for his amusement.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, nor what changes had occurred in this universe, but he could sense that countless insectoids were fighting and dying outside, and he could also sense two unfamiliar forces working together to fight against his insectoids.

"A familiar scent..." The figure spoke again, his voice still low and hoarse, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes, "How dare you harm my people, how dare you challenge my authority..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark red light around the figure surged again, causing the entire tower to tremble more and more violently. Huge cracks began to appear in the fragments of the world, and countless evil auras poured out from the cracks, spreading rapidly throughout the universe.
