I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

"So what do you think?"

"Grammer never won a true victory. That is one of the reasons why I am determined to bury the Republic along with it."

Titania's original order, to be given three days later, was—to launch a full-scale attack.

The armored vehicles, through sensory deception and mind control, will create a cognitive filter that will cause the Ironclads to view all Grammer creations, and even humans, as a swarm, and launch indiscriminate attacks and annihilation.

The reason for going to such a drastic step was not due to extreme hatred for Grammer or the desire to sacrifice countless civilians.

Rather, it's because of the existence of a special swarm of insects.

"Could it be... a corrupting influence that misleads the world?"

Qiong once led six core insect swarms as the Seventh Breeding Envoy, the most beloved offspring of the Insect Queen Mother, in the simulated universe.

Apart from biological geniuses like Ruan Mei, no one understands the capabilities of insect swarms better than him.

"Yes."

Titania glanced at Qiong in surprise, not expecting him to pinpoint the crux of the matter so directly.

The Bewitching Plague, the most intelligent of the six core Zerg factions, typically serve as commanders within the Zerg army.

In the simulated universe, Qiong can even remotely control a swarm of insects on a cosmic scale to fight in coordination by using the Bewitching Envoy and the Fate of Reproduction.

However, in reality, after Taizyuros fell.

Because the concept of 'swarm' was removed by Hipe, the swarm is no longer able to coordinate operations at the cosmic level and has been divided into countless parts that fight independently.

The Bewitching Worms are not only highly intelligent, but they can also change their physical form to infiltrate other species, and even use their pheromones to distort and alienate other races, relying on this special pheromone injection to complete their reproductive mission.

When Qiong was playing with the Zerg Stars in the simulated universe, the Bewitching Servant had evolved to the point where it could impregnate other races in the void, and completely assimilate them into Zerg after the offspring were born.

The real universe wouldn't reach that level, but getting a human woman pregnant would be a piece of cake.

"That's a deceptive variant; I call it a gene thief."

Titania's tone was calm and composed.

"They have long since infiltrated the shadows of the Grammer Territory, in the underworld, in bustling cities, and perhaps even... within the upper echelons of the ruling council, quietly breeding and corrupting one family after another, one city after another."

She had already sent warnings to Parliament, but instead of being alerted, she received deeper suspicion and imprisonment.

To those lawmakers, this was nothing more than a lie she fabricated to extricate herself from trouble and to incite civil unrest.

"I don't have time to make any more arrangements in three days."

Grammer's territory is vast, and even though it has shrunk considerably, conducting a city-wide screening is not something that can be done in a short time, let alone three days, or even three months.

Therefore, the only, and most thorough, method is left.

Eliminate all life within the territory of Grammer.

It's a bit extreme.

But it's better than being judged, having your entire army wiped out, and having everything Grammer has become food for the Zerg.

Then we'll perish together.

This is the best outcome Titania can achieve under the control of the council.

“You don’t need to explain so much to me. I won’t have a negative impression of Firefly or even you just because you tried to destroy Grammer.”

As a master of psychology, Qiong understood that Titania was explaining part of the reason for the massacre of civilians to him.

He is not the kind of person who would advise victims to be magnanimous.

The Masked Fool could not say something like, "It's just that the whole person is being used as a weapon, and the clones are passively used as tools, used and then discarded, like crossing the river and then burning the bridge. There's no need to extend the hatred to innocent civilians, is there?"

"You just need to tell me the coordinates of your physical body."

Qiong raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl, his eyes filled with a smile, yet also with a profound depth.

"The insect swarm is not over yet."

The Black Tower's database contained no detailed information about the destruction of the Grammer Republic, but now Qiong finally knows.

After I go back, I might be able to work in the field of archaeology.

Archaeological findings based on time travel are more realistic than simulated universes.

Grammer was destroyed, so why did the Iron Cavalry become a rare species, with only Firefly remaining?

The scenario unfolds as if Titania's plan had succeeded.

The Republic, whose main weapon was the Iron Cavalry, had little ability to resist the Iron Cavalry. The process of destroying the Republic did not inflict much casualties on the Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, the only thing that could cause the Iron Cavalry to wither away is the insect swarm.

The bug is getting bigger!

The locust plague once nearly swallowed two-thirds of the visible universe. Even after the era of the Zerg Emperor, the surviving Zerg are still one of the three great natural disasters of the universe, alongside the Antimatter Legion and the Bountiful People, and may even surpass the two.

Are you... sure?

Upon hearing Qiong's conclusion, Titania's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression gradually became serious.

Qiong didn't answer directly. Instead, she took the girl's slender, jade-like hand and gently intertwined her fingers until they could clearly feel each other's warmth before asking:

Do you believe me?

"I……"

The length of time the two have known each other is insufficient to support this level of trust.

However, Titania felt the warmth from her palm, the strange feelings she had experienced during her previous date with Sora, and recalled the photos of Ryougi and him on Sora's phone.

A bright and radiant smile graced Liu Ying's face...

She finally nodded.

"I only know that the base that imprisoned me is on the central continent of the Republic's main planet, Tyron, but I have no idea about its exact location."

As the integrated control center for the Republic's highest weapon, everything about Titania is kept under the highest level of secrecy, even to herself.

Although the Iron Riders include the Queen's Royal Guard series of armor, Titania's Royal Guard has never truly provided her with close protection.

The body that was used for activities in the past, like this body, is a specially customized copy.

This ordinary body, free from the surveillance of the ruling council, was painstakingly created and sent by Titania, just so she could see the world before she died.

"Is that so?"

Qiong stroked his chin, his tone still light and lazy.

"I see."

I took out my phone and tagged everyone in the five-person group I had recently created.

The rescue team reassembles!

Through location sharing, both the Star Moon Group and the Bird Group arrived at the rooftop where Qiong and Titania were.

Qiong stood in front of the girl, raised her arms high in front of everyone, and shouted loudly:

"All eyes are on me! Look at me! I have something to announce!"

"Am I an idiot?"

The star instinct, triggered by the DNA, responded.

Then he attracted several strange looks, not understanding why this silly kid suddenly went crazy and made fun of himself.

"Oh yes, yes, yes, you are."

Qiong Xiao touched the star core essence dog's head.

Then, I got bitten.

"Cough cough."

Shaking off Xing, who had turned into a mad dog, Qiong blew on the teeth marks on her arm and flipped over to straddle Xing's shoulders.

"Wives, we're about to do something big."

The robin's pretty face was flushed.

"Who's your wife?"

Just as Xiao Sanyue uttered her coquettish words, Qionglang announced in a loud voice.

"We are going to launch an infiltration into the most important military base of the Republic of Grammer."

"Clam?"

This statement made March 7 swallow back any further criticism.

No, I barely managed to avoid being wanted before landing, and now you're saying you're going to infiltrate (steal) the Republic's military base?

"!?"

The robin was completely bewildered.

what's the situation?

P.S.: Is there still anyone who doesn't know this?

I thought everyone knew that the three characters 刁||进||苹 cannot appear in the same chapter, even if they are not consecutive, so homophones or words with similar pronunciations must be used instead, it is not a mistake.

Volume 1: Chapter 649 I've said it several times, a small opening doesn't count as an opening.

At the center of the Grammer Sector, on the Republic's main planet, Tyran.

A starship in full-band stealth mode hovers silently like a ghost, far from near-Earth orbit.

The area is filled with a dense array of monitoring satellites and reconnaissance devices, weaving an invisible, massive surveillance network.

By the porthole, March 7th was looking down at the planet covered in the color of steel.

Even from a distance, the magnificent architectural complexes, stretching like a mountain range, are still recognizable, creating a great sense of oppression.

She unconsciously swallowed, her voice noticeably stuttering:

"Are we really going to attack the military base of the Republic of Grammer?"

"It's not an attack, it's an infiltration."

Qiong tapped the control panel with her knuckles and said in a serious tone.

"What difference does this make to you!?"

Little March almost jumped up, waving her arms and complaining.

Having hung out with these two clowns for so long, the word "infiltration" has almost become her definition of "perfect stealth is taking out all the witnesses"!

"And you, Ah Xing~ stop pretending to nod profoundly over there!"

The gray-haired girl who was called out blinked innocently and shrugged, saying:

"I think the plan is very reliable; it's simple, direct, and efficient."

"Reliable my foot! Didn't you guys say there was no way to turn into Tom and Jerry?"

If those two extraordinary individuals were involved, she might still believe that this was a genuine infiltration that the enemy discovered but could do nothing about.

It's possible that the entire Republic's army will be mobilized, yet fail to catch even a single cat or mouse—a truly farcical situation.

But that can't be changed!

"Unfortunately, the skill is grayed out."

Xing shrugged, then his tone became slightly more serious.

"But we can't abandon Nia because of this, can we?"

"Of course I'm not saying I'm going to give up on her!"

March 7th hurriedly offered an explanation.

"What I mean is, should we come up with a slightly... um... more complicated rescue plan? Like, the kind that requires a plan that's more than a page long, and doesn't start with an immediate free-for-all?"

Even she knew that rushing into the enemy's base at the start of the game was not the best strategy.

"Then I'll write the words bigger and use more sheets of paper?"
