Cataclysm: Undead Dragons and Zero Empire

A strange echo made Lin Ziming feel a surge of irritability during the flight.

As they drew closer to the battlefield, their volatile emotions reached a fever pitch, akin to the buzzing of mosquitoes in the middle of the night.

The surge of energy caused Lin Ziming's Heavenly Dragon body to glow with a dazzling blue light. The instant he entered the front lines of the battlefield, without any thought or hesitation, a breath shot out from his mouth, piercing through space like a dazzling spear of light launched from a battleship.

A mass of catastrophic acid was prematurely detonated by Lin Ziming's breath. Faced with this celestial-sized bio-missile, the Titan warship, which had just completed its jump, did not have enough reaction speed to overload its shields.

In the instant before the next breath attack was launched, Lin Ziming's senses were rapidly capturing battlefield information, and the cluster signals of numerous creatures were incredibly intense in his eyes.

On the other side of the vast galaxy, the surface of a life-bearing planet is covered with a carpet-like biological tissue, nurturing more life with the organic matter of the entire planet.

Without a doubt, these creatures are an invading swarm from beyond the known boundaries of the universe. Their racial logic is that of an extinct civilization. Among the stars, there are also out-of-control androids that can be compared to them.

In order to forcefully curb the expansion of these aggressive life forms in the starry sky, the civilization to which Lin Zimo belongs is clearly prepared to crush them with overwhelming force, not giving them time to develop.

The parents of the young dragon charged straight into the heart of the Zerg swarm, unleashing lightning storms that shone throughout the star system, resembling brief supernova explosions that annihilated Zerg warships within their strike range. In a series of brief warp traversals, they reached the very heart of the Zerg swarm.

The immense energy possessed by the Celestial Dragons tore a clear gap in the heavy warships guarding the Zerg's mainframe. Lightning erupted, wingtip thrusters danced wildly, and tentacles were sliced ​​into powder, exposing the vulnerable Queen.

The swarm has always used dangerous biotechnology. They constantly launch acid missiles, each capable of destroying a planet's surface civilization. Now, when they bombard the Celestial Dragon parents, they can only leave a few marks on the dragon scales, unable to cause any effective damage.

Lin Zimo flew out from the Titan fleet, like a firefly extending an inconspicuous hair. He flew among the particle spears, his flight path full of sharp turns, gradually approaching the Nest Mother who commanded this local battlefield. The latter faced him with her ferocious funnel-shaped mouth, constantly spewing out swarms of small insects.

Using Tianlong's mobility in the space environment, he easily dodged among the swarms of insects, while groups of hatchlings around him were annihilated by the light spears shot from afar.

When encountering a few densely packed, unavoidable slicks of acid, Lin Ziming would rouse his body's energy, unleashing a violent storm of lightning, and then break through the encirclement amidst a dazzling blue light.

The Nest Mother locked onto the approaching enemy unit, which was now so close that it was forced to use its last melee attack. It spewed its entire lower jaw out of its mouth, and its sharp teeth and tongue lunged at Lin Zimo's head. The latter stopped abruptly and turned around, and the exposed muscles were severed by the wing forks.

Even after being severed, the active hyoid bone of the Nest Mother still opened its medullary arch, and its sharp teeth cut a horrific wound on Lin Ziming's back, shattering a large portion of his still-developing dragon scales.

However, the wing fork also successfully cut through the mother hive's mouth, and the dragon breath pierced through the bio-armor, vaporizing the mother hive's secondary nerve center and rendering this unit that commanded the swarm partially incapable of movement.

The Nest Mother immediately unleashed a stream of information summoning the swarm of insects, which began to surround Lin Zimo. Even as the battleships continued to attack them, they were determined to block the young Sky Dragon's flight path.

The Celestial Dragon Clan is not just about having a powerful body and energy. With a single flap of its wings, it disappeared into the blockade of the biological missiles without any visible acceleration.

Lin Zimo vanished into the subspace and reappeared on the other side of the Heng system in an instant. The Titan warships noticed the swarm of insects gathering in the local battlefield, and the battleships fired arcs together, annihilating the mother hive and her swarm of insects. The starry sky was instantly cleared out, leaving a corner empty.

Upon returning to the battlefield, Lin Ziming immediately flew into the desolate deep space, waiting for the wound, tens of kilometers long, torn open by the Nest Mother to heal. The damaged dragon scales and internal organs began to repair themselves, and the metal he had consumed in the Ringworld was being rapidly consumed.

A body hundreds of kilometers long is like dust on the battlefield at this moment, but the energy reaction of the Tianlong clan is as conspicuous as the sun. Lin Zimo discovered that a fellow clan several times his size was being besieged by the swarm of insects. Multiple nest mothers led their guard groups and hatching units to converge on the battlefield vortex.

Lin Ziming began to gather energy, and a brilliant sapphire light overflowed from between the broken dragon scales. He carried this energy and once again traversed subspace, enduring a huge load, to come to his comrades' side to help them in battle.

The dragon claws embedded themselves firmly into the Nest Mother's exoskeleton armor like a stargate lock. A torrent of energy poured down on the Nest Mother's body like a floodgate being opened, piercing through it. Then, the dragon decisively flung the dying Nest Mother aside. The dragon breath of its brethren followed, completely annihilating the leader unit into elementary particles.

At the same time, the bloodline connection began to warn Lin Ziming that his senses were extending into the depths of space. The decapitation operation by Tianlong's parents was nearing completion, and the Zerg Queen's planet-sized body was riddled with holes, some of which were in a molten state.

However, a hook suddenly shot out, tearing open the veil between the subspace and the real universe, and slashed towards the back of the Dragon Parents. The Dragon Wing Fork reacted instantly, and the energy explosion generated by the clash was like a spark that flickered and disappeared against the backdrop of space.

Lin Ziming felt his instinct for danger frantically warning him. It was an unprecedented advanced life form. He saw that in the core area of ​​the battlefield, hooks and winged forks were frequently clashing, looking like iron flowers being struck from afar.

The situation was dire. Surrounded by ambushes and pincer attacks, the Heavenly Dragon Parents were almost forced to trade blows. Their dragon scales were shattered by the giant blade, and their wounds were so deep that the bone was visible. At the same time, their dragon claws tore apart the exoskeleton armor shaped like the opponent's ribs. A violent dragon lightning was unleashed, destroying a large chunk of the purplish-red muscle mass.

Information flows converged on the battlefield, and the Titan's command system named this newly emerged unit "Zerg Tyrant".

As the Zerg Tyrant wielded its giant blade, it unleashed a barrage of bio-missiles. These corrosive crystals, embedded in the blue blood flowing from the Celestial Dragon parents' veins, vibrated at high frequencies, continuously tearing open the wounds and preventing the Celestial Dragons from fully utilizing their self-healing abilities.

The appearance of the Zerg Tyrant was an encouragement to the entire Zerg cluster. The berserk swarm charged towards the battleship group, while another part concentrated its firepower on the Sky Dragon parents. The Queen also launched Cataclysmic Acid that could destroy the surface of planets, intending to completely annihilate the extremely robust adult Sky Dragons.

Lin Ziming and several of his compatriots broke free from the swarm's pull and traversed the warp towards the Zerg tyrant, attempting to assist their parents. However, the true deciding factor in the battle was the contest between the two top-tier biological units—whose vitality was stronger and whose fighting spirit prevailed.

As soon as Lin Ziming left the subspace, he unleashed all the energy he had accumulated, releasing lightning at the Zerg Tyrant. In response, the Tyrant's bio-cannon fired rapidly multiplying explosive seed cores at him, followed by a giant blade that slashed fatal wounds into Lin Ziming's body.

While Tianlong's parents and other comrades seized the opportunity to attack the Zerg Tyrant, Lin Zimo's consciousness quickly drifted into a daze. He witnessed the Zerg Tyrant's demise, and in his last glance at the universe, he saw fragments of the Zerg Tyrant's corpse hurtling towards him.
