Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

"Transmit my order: all starships stand by, prepare for black hole annihilation strike. Eliminate all enemies in front," Cocoxia said, not even bothering to look at the numerous Demi-Gods engaged in the melee.

To him, these so-called geniuses from lower civilizations were not worth mentioning. Only top geniuses from other high-level civilizations were qualified to contend with him.

Earlier, he had spared a glance at that so-called human genius. Indeed, they were praiseworthy, having the strength to contend with him.

It wasn't until that person became the first to ascend from Demi-God to True God that he truly acknowledged them, realizing they were indeed stronger than himself.

But such people were few. There weren't many in lower civilizations who could be compared to him.

As for now?

Without other high-level civilizations joining the battle, it was practically a fantasy for other lower civilizations to compete with him. What he needed to guard against now was competition from other top geniuses of the Styx civilization.

Although they were from the same civilization and shared common interests, everyone wanted the Divine Spark. So even within the same civilization, there were competitors. He wanted to obtain this Divine Spark, but so did others.

Just as Cocoxia was preparing for the annihilation strike, he suddenly saw dozens of teleportation light pillars appear on the distant horizon, instantly making his expression turn ugly.

Although his entire body was hidden in black armor and no one could see his expression, his tightly clenched fists revealed his current bad mood.

"Apegirena," he gritted out this name through his teeth.

"Cocoxia, long time no see!" Suddenly, another figure in black armor appeared on Cocoxia's internal communication network channel.

The other party had directly invaded his communication network and transmitted their image over.

"What are you doing here?" Cocoxia's tone was very unpleasant.

"My foolish brother, what am I doing here? Don't you know?" The other's tone was light, but their words carried a hint of mockery.

"My dear sister, are you also going to compete with me for this Divine Spark?" From within the armor, two red beams could faintly be seen, indicating Cocoxia's emotions were becoming unstable.

"Haha, who doesn't want the Divine Spark? This is a chance to ascend to heaven in one step. I also want to become a True God!" Apegirena chuckled lightly.

"So this time, my foolish brother, I won't let you off easy. Let's see whose hands this Divine Spark ends up in."

With these words, Cocoxia's internal communication network returned to normal, and the other's image disappeared.

Cocoxia was breathing rapidly. Even through a layer of armor, one could see he was very agitated.

He really hadn't expected that just as he arrived here, his sister would also show up. Did she have an insider near him? Otherwise, this was all too coincidental.

However, the urgent matter now was to snatch the Divine Spark first. As for other things, they could only be dealt with after returning.

"Commander, the annihilation strike will commence in ten seconds. Do you confirm the strike?" The mechanical voice came through.

"Cancel the annihilation strike," Cocoxia said. Despite being very angry, he was still very rational.

At this point, choosing to launch the annihilation strike would only be doing others a favor. He certainly wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

"Please confirm if the Commander wants to cancel the annihilation strike," the mechanical voice asked again.

"Confirm cancellation of the annihilation strike," Cocoxia gave a definite reply.

As one of the highest combinations of technology and magic in the Styx civilization, the annihilation strike was definitely one of their trump cards, having an absolute deterrent effect on other civilizations.

Therefore, when battling Demi-Gods from the Styx civilization, many were unwilling to face their starships. The main reason was that Styx civilization starships were basically all equipped with annihilation rays imbued with death power.

Being hit by an annihilation ray was an unbearable injury for any civilization.

However, such a powerful destructive method naturally couldn't be easily borne by anyone. The consumption was too enormous. Even for top geniuses like Cocoxia from the Styx civilization, with powerful forces supporting him, each use of the annihilation strike required replenishment and a long recovery time.

Just like now, he had a huge starship fleet, but only one chance to strike.

If there were no competitors at the beginning, he would naturally use this chance on those numerous Demi-Gods, clearing all competitors and monopolizing the Divine Spark, entering the God's Tomb alone.

But in the current situation, Apegirena's appearance forced him to abandon this idea.

With other competitors appearing, if he still recklessly used the annihilation strike, he would be at a disadvantage when facing others.

He would even have no means of resistance when others used the annihilation strike on him.

"My foolish brother, you're still too naive," Apegirena, in her fleet in the distant void, saw that Cocoxia didn't use the annihilation strike and chuckled lightly.

It seemed that reckless fellow had chosen to remain rational this time and didn't recklessly eliminate the enemies in front of him.

She had indeed planted someone near Cocoxia, which was why she could know about the Divine Spark's appearance immediately.

Otherwise, the Styx civilization was too far from here. Even though the news of the Divine Spark's appearance was causing a stir, it would still take some time to reach them.

Just as Apegirena was preparing to sweep away all the Demi-Gods from the lower civilizations, she suddenly saw thousands of teleportation light pillars appear simultaneously in different directions. Each direction was similar to when they appeared, with dozens of light pillars, but the number appearing now was too many. One fleet after another appeared around them, confronting them.

"Apegirena, Cocoxia, long time no see!" Those newcomers greeted them directly upon arrival.

But at this moment, Cocoxia's face was very grim. He didn't want to see these people at all.

At this point, he was about to explode with anger.

As a direct member of one of the top three families in the Styx civilization, his power was unimaginable, and the resources at his disposal were also enormous.

That's why he could borrow the cabinet astrologer's help to find the location of that fallen God's Divine Kingdom.

When he learned about the appearance of this Death Divine Spark, he immediately used the forces at his disposal to contact other high-level civilizations, asking them not to participate in the competition for this Death Divine Spark.

He thought that with such arrangements, the Divine Spark would be his for sure. Without people from other high-level civilizations competing with him, those from lower civilizations had no qualifications to face him.

But unexpectedly, while ensuring people from other civilizations wouldn't compete with him, he forgot that many from his own civilization were his competitors, resulting in the current situation.

"Then let's rely on our own abilities," he said coldly, directly deploying the creatures from his fleet.

Unable to use highly destructive methods, they would compete based on their abilities.

"Alright, let's rely on our own abilities then," Apegirena agreed with a smile, and they each deployed their military forces.

Compared to those from lower civilizations, these top geniuses from high-level civilizations didn't have much advantage in the quality of their creatures. Cultivating beings above Gold-tier was extremely difficult.

So their main units were basically Gold-tier, but compared to those from lower civilizations, they had just a tiny bit more Gold-tier units.

The units appearing now were basically all Gold-tier, and not low-level Gold-tier like Gold Tier 1 or 2, but at least Gold Tier 5.

Moreover, their units were organized into systematic military formations.

Unlike those from lower-level civilizations who had Gold-tier units but scattered and unsystematic, with numbers at most in the dozens or hundreds.

"You're seeking death," Cocoxia said coldly as figures flew out from his fleet one after another, flying in the void.

He was the most steadfast despiser of the Lord of Light because he believed in the Lord of Death. So although he initially obtained light-type creatures and later got a large number of angel units, he directly used methods to make these angels fall, turning them into fallen angels.

Compared to traditional angels, fallen angels didn't actually have an advantage in power, and might even be suppressed by light power.

But the death and fallen power on them could in turn contaminate light angels.

Now, these fallen angels with black wings and alluring figures flew into the void, equipped with angel swords. Death power swirled around their sword blades as they began to attack every creature they saw.

These top geniuses began to prepare for clearing the field.

Also from the Styx civilization, they had very good tacit understanding between them.

Even if they were going to battle each other, before fighting, they needed to clear the surrounding area of others first. No one was a fool; they wouldn't give others the opportunity to benefit from their fight.

One person alone had the ability to sweep away others, let alone now with multiple renowned top geniuses from the Styx civilization joining forces to attack.

Tens of thousands of Gold-tier units rampaged on the battlefield.

Without powerful spell attacks, relying solely on Gold-tier power was enough to make those from lower civilizations fall into disarray.

Lower civilizations weren't without means of resistance. After all, everyone was a top genius from their respective civilizations and had powerful methods at their disposal. They also had quite a few Gold-tier units. Although the number for each individual wasn't much, added together, it wasn't fewer than the opponent's numbers.

But compared to these top geniuses from the Styx civilization, their Gold-tier units were unsystematic, basically fighting individually.

When faced with encirclement and killing, it was difficult to get timely rescue.

Moreover, in terms of quality, although they were all Gold-tier units, their levels were inferior, and there was a huge gap in strength. Therefore, when fighting, two or three of them might not be able to beat one of the opponent's. The quality gap was too large.

As for units below Gold-tier, although numerous, when faced with organized Gold-tier legions rolling over, even the top-tier Silver units could only helplessly await the arrival of slaughter.

"Such strength..." Xu Luo was shocked!

Watching this scene from afar, he realized for the first time what the strength of top geniuses from high-level civilizations was really like.

All along, he thought that with the considerable number of Leviathans he had now, plus the Gold-tier evolved from Xenomorphs, his strength, while not able to sweep across star regions, was basically able to ignore many people in one-on-one situations.

But after seeing the strength of these people this time, he realized he had underestimated many people.

Most people were indeed not as strong as him, but the strength of high-level civilizations was not to be underestimated.

Compared to Ying Yingluo when she became a God, these people were not weaker than her in terms of combat power.

Having Gold-tier legions in organized military formations was completely different from scattered individual units.

He put away his previous self-pride, realizing he still needed to accumulate properly.

However, Xu Luo didn't feel discouraged. After all, he hadn't opened his Divine Domain for long, and there was still a long accumulation time ahead.

When he had accumulated for eight or nine years like these people, he could proudly say that in the entire Novice Divine Domain, there wouldn't be a single person who could match him.

But for now, he wasn't comparable to these people.

Mainly because these people were not only strong in their own units, but also in various equipment and technologies, which he couldn't match.

He could clearly understand what the various patterns on those descending starships represented.

Although he couldn't recognize what spells they were, these things were clearly taught in the rune science class when he was in school.

Just seeing that part, Xu Luo knew they belonged to high-level runes, directly linked to powerful spells.

With so many complex runes inscribed on an entire starship, one could imagine how powerful the force unleashed would be.

Regarding inscriptions, Xu Luo had a clear understanding. Although he had abandoned the starship's built-in attack methods and directly replaced them with Stam Ray Worms, he wouldn't think that others' attack methods were inferior to his own because of this.

Spells were very mysterious, containing powerful forces. Especially like these composite spells inscribed on an entire starship with a vast inscription range, once unleashed, their power was earth-shattering.
