My Master Knows It All

As everyone knows, if a Zerg queen consumes another living Zerg queen, she might directly gain another ability and produce another type of soldier bug.

This is extremely important for a Zerg queen.

Ordinary Zerg queens can only produce one type of egg and have one type of soldier bug, which makes them particularly monotonous in combat.

It’s unfortunate if they encounter an opponent that can restrain them.

For instance, if a queen’s soldier bugs all use poison, and they encounter an enemy immune to their poison, their strongest means are rendered useless, and the result can only be the death of all soldier bugs, or worse, the enemy could track and destroy the queen’s lair!

But what if she has another type of soldier bug?

If others can restrain one type, can they restrain two types?

Just like in the wars of mortals, armies are also composed of multiple kinds cooperating together, with archers, cavalry, shield bearers...

It’s the same principle; only with multiple types cooperating can they exert stronger power.

However, Zerg queens almost never cooperate for unknown reasons, each fighting on their own, allowing other alien races to target and deal with them.

As for devouring other queens, it’s equally extremely difficult.

Firstly, there’s no trust between the Zerg queens. If consuming another makes one stronger, could they possibly let the other go!

The weaker queens must first think about hiding well enough not to be found by stronger ones.

Secondly, even if another queen is found, Zerg queens are almost immobile, relying on their soldier bugs for combat, and if they discover another queen, it’s usually through the soldier bugs, which struggle to bring a living queen back.

Because if those queens, upon realizing defeat, face soldier bugs of another queen, they would rather self-destruct than be carried away.

After all, once taken, they would definitely be devoured.

If it were anyone else, would you choose to be devoured alive or commit suicide?

And even if these soldier bugs find another Zerg queen and use special means to control her, denying her the chance to self-destruct...

The bodies of Zerg queens are exceedingly large, and without a Flying Boat, they would have to drag her away.

In such a long journey, who knows if they’ll be discovered by other forces, which certainly wouldn’t want to see one Zerg queen devouring another. Under their frantic attacks, the Zerg queen might very well perish on the way.

That’s why it’s said that it’s extremely difficult for a Zerg queen to devour another queen.

However, while impossible to consume a living Zerg queen, consuming the corpse of another queen, even though it doesn’t grant her the ability to produce another type of soldier bug...

It is still a great nourishment for the queen.

This is why they publicly state that as long as one provides them a Zerg queen’s corpse, they are willing to pay a high price, and their credibility in this aspect is excellent.

No matter the race, even the Demon Clan with the worst relations with the Zerg, if they bring a Zerg queen’s corpse to another Zerg queen, she will fulfill her promise, give them resources, and let them leave, absolutely not attacking those delivering queen corpses.

They understand that if they break their promises, slowly, there won’t be anyone from other races delivering queen corpses to them, and only they would suffer losses!

And although other races know that a Zerg queen’s corpse is a great nourishment and strengthens another queen, they still deliver it.

After all, how much can it really strengthen?

No matter how nourishing, it can’t cause a Late Immortality Regainment Realm Zerg queen to immediately break through to Peak Immortality Regainment Realm after consuming another queen’s corpse.

If it were that terrifying, they wouldn’t deliver the corpses.

Since that’s the case, why not deliver it?

After all, killing a Zerg queen takes a tremendous amount of effort, costing countless skilled fighters their lives.

And Zerg soldier bugs don’t use treasures, carrying nothing of value, at most the resources around the queen.

But some queens use up all resources, leaving only a small portion for emergencies, getting rid of the queen yields few resources.

So, they can only sell the corpse of the Zerg queen to earn again.

As for increasing the strength of the Zerg?

After all, it only strengthens a single Zerg queen, not an overwhelming increase—selling it makes sense.

If they don’t sell it, others will, so why shouldn’t they?

And if a particular queen becomes stronger, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll fight them, maybe they’ll menace other races instead; among so many big races, what’s there to fear!

In fact, in the early times of the Outer Heaven Battlefield, there were even some races secretly capturing living Zerg queens to sell, actions quickly discovered by strong figures of their clans, resulting in extreme punishment!

The stance of the upper echelons of major races is the same: if you sell a few corpses, they can turn a blind eye, not paying much attention.
