Unlike the Void Beetles that people imagine, these Void Beetles do not live in some corner of the universe or on a hidden planet. Instead, the entire swarm is hidden in the real void, turning the vast void into a giant insect hive.
The hive doesn't contain many worker-level insects, but most are low-level. Elite-level insects, however, control numerous lord-level insects, manipulating countless portals into the void and creating countless secondary hives. Like locusts, they swarm from the void, devouring countless sub-worlds, dimensional worlds, and even distant forces in the real universe.
Deep within the void lies the Mother Nest, larger than the entire Earth, teeming with countless powerful insectoid races.
Tony's smart nanoprobes captured only one image of the nest's core, only to be suddenly destroyed without warning.
These are a group of truly deformed destroyers living in the void; in the scattered images, you can even see insects devouring demons captured from the infinite abyss.
Even in a chaotic and war-torn place like the Infinite Abyss, they were unwilling to accept these Void Worms and could not completely eliminate them. They could only send a large force to seal these Void Worms outside the Abyss universe.
The Avengers and the military did indeed rely on information provided by the Silver Surfer to thwart even the slightest bit of these Void Beetles.
But it wasn't until they truly understood the full horrors of the Pustotniks that they realized wars like those in ruined factories were not even an appetizer for the Pustotniks (bbaj).
Even after receiving this news, Earth began mobilizing a large amount of resources to build a defensive line around the destroyed factory. However, after the ceasefire ended, no one knew whether Earth's preparations could truly withstand the attacks of these Void Worms.
Everyone knows that after their defeat in the last war, the Zerg will come prepared for the next one.
"A terrifying horde of destroyers!" Xu Fu was the last member of the Avengers to discover the insectoid invasion. After reviewing the information, he frowned and said, "According to the Silver Surfer, if we want to completely sever the connection between these insects and us, we must eliminate the queen insect that has seized Earth's coordinates, right?"
Nick Fury nodded and said, "Yes, according to the information Tony provided, we sent more than thirty special forces teams to infiltrate the void portals in an attempt to find clues about the Queen. One hundred and forty-two of them returned, capturing several live void worms. However, these void worms don't possess much intelligence; on the contrary, they are purely biological weapons. Combat weapons; all their behaviors are signals generated by special genetic chains within their bodies..."
Tony smoothly interjected, "If it's an electronic communication signal, we can resist and crack it, but biological interaction technology, not to mention our current level of technology, even the three great empires of the universe can't provide anything in this area, and it's of no help to these insect-like creatures!"
While capturing live insects, Tony and his companions had already established contact with the Kree Empire, the most technologically advanced of the three empires, through Asgard. However, even with their superior intelligence, they still gained little in the face of the near-godlike technology of insect biological evolution.
However, unlike mechanical and energy technologies in the real universe, the evolutionary skills of creatures such as Void Worms are, in a sense, an extremely advanced form of biotechnology that has reached a point of no return.
There was a time when the Avengers held these Void Worms in contempt, and they even considered killing the Queen of the Void directly in the Void portal.
Having truly witnessed the power of the Void Beetles, my greatest wish today is to prevent the war from spiraling out of control.
At this time, Earth is in the process of rapid development. When the spoils of the Dark City are fully absorbed, Earth's power will increase by at least several levels.
If we can use the harvest to upgrade Earth's basic technology and weapons, Earth may still have enough power to compete with these Void Bugs.
The reason for choosing this delaying tactic was that no one could find a better alternative.
The only lifeline is that, according to some knowledge of the Silver Shadow Bugs, although these Void Bugs are unmatched in their aggression and destructiveness, the higher bugs rarely participate in wars, relying instead on endless consumption to launch surprise attacks on other worlds.
Both sides intend to prolong the war.
While the mortal realm is helpless, so is the Void Worm's.
Unable to find a better solution, everyone discussed protective measures again before dispersing.
Most of the Avengers insisted that Tony go to the lab; each of them longed to be a guinea pig, hoping to be the first to participate in the final completion of God's plan.
On the other hand, Xu Fu planned to go to the Fallen Angels Camp that Gabriel had established on Earth after everyone had left.
In fact, even before Xu Fu returned from the Infinite Space, the Avengers had already considered visiting Gabriel. After all, the angels had existed for a very long time, once ruled the universe, and worked hard in the Infinite Abyss, so they must know something about the Void Worms.
Unfortunately, Gabriel and the fallen angels are ruthless and do not regard the human hierarchy or the Avengers as food.
Currently, the only person on Earth who can communicate with Gabriel and the Fallen Angels is Xu Fu.
Chapter 523 Gabriel's Warning and Hints
Gabriel was once one of the most powerful angels under God's command. Even Lucifer, despite his great power, was only of the same generation as Gabriel in terms of seniority.
Xu Fu didn't know why Lucifer left Gabriel and the fallen angel army behind. Perhaps it was because he lacked confidence in the war on the Abyss battlefield, or perhaps it was because he wanted to leave Xu Fu with strong support so that he could hold the line.
The only thing Xu Fu was certain of was that Gabriel and his fallen angel legion had never treated him badly.
When Heaven was first created, Xu Fu also invited Gabriel to return, and even offered to use the power of faith that Heaven had stored for countless years to cleanse Gabriel and others of their fallen power, allowing them to return to the ranks of angels and making them even stronger than before.
But Gabriel refused, displaying a calmer attitude than Xu Fu had expected.
It was from Gabriel that he learned that the power of faith accumulated in heaven was infinite in dimensions and the faith of all beings in God.
Using the faith of others to strengthen oneself can greatly increase one's power in a short period of time, but it will eventually bring hidden dangers, from becoming a fanatical believer to blocking and amplifying one's limits and potential.
If they want what's left of Heaven, they can run through the whole of Heaven when God is gone, instead of falling into Hell and entering the battlefield of the abyss.
After Gabriel reminded Xu Fu and Tony of God's plan to create God, they changed their strategy. Instead of forcibly injecting the power of faith into the infinite space, they allowed Mindy, Peter, Harry, and others to develop their own fragmented worlds, cultivate believers, and gather their own power of faith.
Europe, on a farm near Illinois.
Xu Fu saw Gabriel again, as cold as a statue, lonely, indifferent, and fierce, like a stone statue on a mountain—damaged by the outside world.
Every time Xu Fu saw Gabriel, he had a very strange feeling, as if the other person was a puppet, no longer having a soul or thoughts.
"Your appearance and that of the little one is surprising!"
Just as Xu Fu was lost in thought, Gabriel, who had seen Xu Fu again, spoke first. It was the first time he had spoken to Xu Fu, and he even had a slight smile on his lips.
That's fucking bizarre.
Xu Fu mentally complained, but he directly activated the power of arcane magic, revealing his Tree of Souls, and said, "Is this the power Your Majesty spoke of?"
Gabriel nodded and said, "Yes, it is a great power that grows in its knowledge, wisdom, spirit, and will. This world is not as powerful as you imagine. So-called power is just a mirror. Only wisdom and will truly belong to you and are valuable. These are things no matter where you are!"
Xu Fu tensed up, not expecting Gabriel to have such a high opinion of Arcana.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Fu asked, "What about God's project?"
Gabriel frowned slightly and said, "The power of faith is an extremely powerful force, but what makes you think that the power of faith can last forever when the universe is silent and broken?"
"The angelic legions and the holy spirit legions were once very powerful, but they were destroyed in the cycle of time..."
Xu Fu spoke with a hint of panic: "The creation of God did not use the power of faith in Heaven, but only borrowed the powerful methods of angels and creatures."
In a sense, Xu Fu even underestimated how the work of creating God would proceed.
Mindy, Peter, and Harry seem to have amplified the power that God used when He created the angels, perfecting themselves through the power of faith, but in reality, this is a simplified version of God's way.
God was a being who traveled through countless worlds, gradually accumulating infinite faith.
Xu Fu dared not appear so arrogant, but Gabriel still saw the pride in Xu Fu's heart. After a brief silence, he said, "Do you think God became so powerful through the power of faith?"
Xu Fu paused for a moment, then said, "Isn't that so?"
Throughout all the ages of the universe, no one, except God, has the power to surpass the fourth or even fifth stage of life evolution at the level of the Heavenly Father.
Xu Fu could not think of any other reason besides relying on the power of cosmic beings for God's power.
Gabriel's face seemed somewhat shaken. He remained silent for a long time before saying, "God has never become powerful because of the power of faith. God is the creator and controller of the power of faith, but never the user of it. It is the angels and the Holy Spirit!"
· ·Request flowers 0 ·········
Gabriel's words were quite simple, even somewhat cryptic.
But almost instantly, Xu Fu's entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
Xu Fu felt an unprecedented indifference in Gabriel's words, even though he did not hear Gabriel belittling or resenting God.
Furthermore, these words are short, but their content is utterly baffling.
God is merely the creator and the controller of the power of faith, but certainly not the user.
What does this mean?!
0 ..... ....
It's like a drug lord inventing, innovating, producing, and controlling laundry detergent, but only using it to infect others, never touching it himself.
Is this what Gabriel meant? Is he trying to remind himself of something?
Just as Xu Fu was filled with emotion, Gabriel spoke again: "Power, material possessions, civilization, and wisdom, in a sense, can all be transformed, and the path you and this human boy are taking is a good path!"
After saying this, Gabriel fell silent, seemingly unwilling to discuss such a topic further.
Xu Fuxin felt as if struck by lightning; he sensed a strong warning and reminder from Gabriel's words.
Almost simultaneously, Xu Fu quickly sent Tony a message.
"God's creation plan is imperfect. Let Mindy, Peter, and Harry integrate with the arcane path as soon as possible!"
Only then did Xu Fu calm down a little, staring intently at Gabriel, but at the same time he seemed to turn into a statue again, showing no reaction to what was happening.
But Xu Fu was convinced that Lucifer, Gabriel, and the other fallen angels must have discovered some of God's secrets, which led them to separate from God, or even leave Heaven altogether and go to Hell.
But this secret clearly touched on something that Lucifer, Gabriel, and others were unwilling to discuss.
Xu Fu quickly suppressed his thoughts and asked again, "Your Majesty, regarding the Void People..."
Chapter 524 The Past and Present of the Void Insect Race
Xu Fu didn't want to delve too deeply into the mysteries surrounding God, Lucifer, Gabriel, angels, fallen angels, and so on, otherwise, who knew if he might attract some unseen and terrifying beings.
More than the secrets lost in endless time, Xu Fu wanted to get information about the Void Worms from Gabriel.
The Void Worms are the true super catastrophe that humanity will face on Earth right now.
After gathering information about the Void Worms in the Void Passage, the Avengers fully understood why the Silver Shadow, the precursor to Galactus, who was capable of fighting against the Asian class, was so terrified at the mere mention of the Void Worms.
A single glance at the hollow passageway at the core of an insect's nest, leading to countless dimensions, reveals that their power, "057," and destructive capabilities are enough to reduce all the glory of humanity on Earth in this era to nothing.
When Xu Fu mentioned the Void Worm, Gabriel, who had already turned into a statue, frowned slightly again.
Unlike these dimensional beings and dimensional demons, Void Worms are true void beings. Even the passages they create to enter the void are formed by physically excavating and devouring the void. They do not exhibit any energy from dimensions or space.
Therefore, Gabriel did not notice anything amiss, even though the Earthlings and Void Worms were fighting a small battle in an abandoned factory in the suburbs of New York City.
