The colony sites in each planet of the red dwarf star system have been expanded to increase their territory and the number of swarms.
Collective consciousness rank 5. Following Berne, which resembled a giant brain, more leaders were born.
Those leaders were all designed to protect the star system that was the home base of chimeraz, based on Berne’s genes.
“The leaders who resemble Berne will keep their own places. . . . . . Those children will continue to grow their colony sites and produce swarms. . . . . .
“Swarms are being loaded into new Euryales whenever there is a spare moment. . . . . . As master has commanded, we are spreading the seeds of our children, one by one, throughout this galaxy. . . .”
Instinctively following Kreion, the leaders whose waves were cut off due to the distance are spreading throughout the human galaxy.
Those leaders were the ones who had gone out into space each time a new Euryale was added, leading the swarms produced in each colony site.
“Moreover, the leaders who resemble Berne’s genes are rational and logical. . . . . . Those children will find a good place to spread their colony sites and take root on their own. . . . . . And in each of their colony sites, they will await master’s orders. . . .”
Kreion, who had heard Ludwig’s report in the throne room, asked Gnox.
“You’ve transferred all of Crepitus’s genetic information to Euryale, haven’t you, Gnox?”
“Yes. However, Crepitus’s genetic complexity is so high that the leaders cannot produce them right away.”
“The complex ones will continue to increase. It’s difficult for all leaders to remember all the blueprints of collective consciousness.”
“That’s why the new leaders will first establish their positions, then expand their colony sites, and only after constructing structures that can store the genetic information of complex creatures will they be able to access the blueprints without any problems.”
“Kabana, Elite, Cresecter, Lemegeton, Crepitus. . . . . . Are these the only creatures that can be created in advanced colony sites?”
“Euryale is added to that.”
“Immature colony sites will be vulnerable to humans.”
To prevent that, the new leaders will spread their colonies in an environment without humans.
“There’s nothing we can do about that. If the colony site is attacked by humans before it can grow, it’s up to the leader to deal with it.”
“Yes. . . . . . A strong leader is a leader who survives. . . .”
“That’s how the ranks change because of dead leaders.”
Kreion concluded and looked at Nazar.
Nazar spoke as soon as he realized his gaze.
“The leader created by Anima-nim, Linnea, is growing safely on her planet. There is still no sign of humans there.”
“Anima?”
“Linnea reported that there were no waves of Anima. We believe that she has already left the human galaxy by following the Magellanic Stream.”
“I’m sure she said she was going to absorb a race called Crolr in the Large Magellanic Cloud.”
“Yes. However, what is concerning is the powerful military power of the Crolr race. They are weaker and smaller than humans, but unlike humans, the majority of their entire population is soldiers.”
Then Ludwig spoke proudly.
“To use that expression, we are all soldiers. . . . . . The brave ones who went to the Large Magellanic Cloud will not be defeated by the likes of Crolr.”
“I don’t doubt that either. But I wonder if Anima-nim will be able to expand her colony site safely in the beginning. Shall we send her support from here, master?”
“Anima made a choice. Leaving this galaxy to me and aiming for the Magellanic galaxy. The intention is to raise the power of chimeraz in both areas at the same time, and to prepare for the extinction of chimeraz in one galaxy.”
Ludwig responded.
“Certainly. . . . . . There is a saying that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. . . . . . We are spreading our eggs very well. . . .”
At the strange quote, Nazar moved his tentacles a few times and swallowed his words.
“Anima is a ruler like me. I believe she will do it.”
Kreion now turned his gaze to the old man clinging to Gnox’s side.
“How long do you plan to stay in that form?”
“I was waiting for you to call me. Is it my turn?”
Vatory, who had Galleass’s body, smiled pleasantly and transformed.
Whooosh. . .!
The cells that made up her body rippled like waves and swarmed like tiny insects. The clothes made of living tissue became one with the flesh, mixing like dough.
Knock knock!
The shape of the skull changed, her height decreased, her size decreased, and her whole body made strange noises as if her bones were breaking. Even the molecular structure of the genes that made up her body was decomposed and recombined.
A small stature, red wavy bobbed hair, a sinister smile, and a criss-crossed canine tattoo etched under her left eye.
Click. . .!
Vatory transformed at an incredible speed and regained her original form.
“You’ve suddenly become shorter. . . .”
“The map of the galaxy?”
Vatory threw a memory cube to Gats.
“It’s in there. It’s a program that’s been made compatible with holographic devices.”
Kreion received the memory cube from Gats’s polite hands.
‘This is the map of the galaxy. . . .’
What would be the value of the hexahedral metal object in his hand in the human world?
“Can I see it right away if I put it in a holographic device?”
“It’s locked. I unlocked the 5-layer lock with iris, fingerprints, veins, voltage, and gait, but there’s another password set separately at the end.”
Kreion handed the memory cube back to Gats.
Gats silently took the memory cube and went to Gnox.
“Of course our capable Gnox will figure out the last password. Right?”
“Oh, I told you I would. Just. . . .”
Vatory grabbed Gnox’s cheek, who was about the same height as her, and smiled broadly again.
“Well done, Vatory.”
“Thank you!”
“Yeah. Was there any other information?”
“Umm. . . . . . Not really. I’m not a ruler like Kreion-nim or Anima-nim. I couldn’t absorb memories.”
If he had absorbed the memories of the director of the Venice Editorial Intelligence Agency, he would have had a lot of useful information.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done about it, and now it was time to set specific goals with the map of the galaxy in hand.
“We now have a map of the galaxy.”
The ultimate reason for trying to get their hands on the map of the galaxy.
“With this map of the galaxy as a reference, we can selectively target human things one by one.”
If we know where and what is and fight, we can weaken the human forces several times more efficiently than before.
