Description[]

The Zerg Race (called the Bug Race or Clan in the fan translation) is one of the six Pinnacle Races in the Original Universe[3]. They dwell in close proximity to the Human Race, Demon Race, and Automaton Race, resulting in constant battles between the four races[4]. The Zerg Race is feared due to its natural battle prowess, and their incredible soul techniques enable them to infiltrate the territories of other races with spies[5].

Queens and Mother Nests[]

The Zerg Race is a special type of lifeform in the Original Universe; depending on your perspective, they could be considered extremely populous or extremely rare. Generally speaking, the only Zerg Race lifeforms with intelligence are the Queens (母皇(Mǔ huáng), lit. Mother Queen), who are few in number[3]. Zerg Race Queens have incredibly powerful Spirit Energy and Consciousness, so they all specialize in soul techniques, including Soul Attacks and enslaving techniques. These Queens, through the consumption of resources and increases in their ability, create Mother Nests (虫族母巢(Chóngzú mǔ cháo), lit. Zerg Race Mother Nest), lairs that become the armor protecting their weak physical body.

The Queens specially design their Mother Nests for their bodies, giving them differing appearances, but it seems that they are all spherical and emit poison gas, since Nuolan Shan easily identified the nest that was on Earth[6]. These nests house countless soldiers, each created by the Queen, using the strategy of mass numbers to defeat their opponents. Their nests are incredibly valuable; a live World Master-level nest would sell for over 1 million Mixed Yuan Units if sold in an auction[7]. Beings with powerful soul abilities would seek to enslave a Zerg Race queen, thus acquiring a nest that could create an army of Zerg soldiers!

As depicted by the Donghua, the Zerg Queens possess tremendous assets [8].

Soldiers[]

Mother Nests can create a variety of bug soldiers, depending on the proficiencies of the Queen[9]. Since the soldiers come in numerous types, a Queen may have groups that specialize in certain aspects, such as assassination, reconnaissance, defense, etc. A Queen can produce soldiers in 3 main ways: 1. Using Universe Crystals, 2. Using large amounts of metal alloy debris, the blood of powerful beings or huge beasts, and other materials like scales, muscles, etc., or 3. Using large amounts of Zerg Race soldier corpses[10]. The cost of producing the soldiers thus varies depending on the method; the 1st method is the most expensive, while the 3rd is the cheapest but requires the most good fortune.

Depending on the type of soldier, and the methods and resources used, the soldiers may have different strength and value. Irina's particular soldiers required between 10 and 50 Mixed Yuan Units worth of Universe Crystals to create a Pinnacle World Master soldier, depending on the type[10]. She states that a King (王者(Wángzhě)) soldier is 10 times stronger than normal soldiers, and requires 100 times the resources of a normal soldier[11]. Regardless, the soldiers, as actual lifeforms, are stronger than Automaton Puppets[12], making them worth the resources spent.

These soldiers have very little intelligence of their own; rather, the Queen divides her soul into each soldier, controlling them with an incredible level of precision. However, the universe is always fair, and it gave these soldiers a chance at evolution as well. Certain soldiers who had consumed special treasures were able to evolve and develop independent will, a small number of which also became powerful existences[11].

Strength[]

Even the weakest Zerg Race Mother Nest is comparable to a World Master[13]. It is incredibly difficult for them to break through to Immortal; Irina notes that to her knowledge, it is more difficult for them than for any of countless races she knows. The materials alone necessary for their breakthrough cost close to 100 billion Mixed Yuan Units, and the queen also requires high levels of either Law of Space or Law of Time comprehension[14], comparable to an Immortal King[15]. Unlike Humans, they cannot break through with comprehension of a Lower Original Law[14]. However, due to this comprehension and their ability to birth millions of subordinate soldiers, an Immortal Zerg Race queen is invincible against any opponent under Universe Venerable. Within the Zerg Race, there is no separation of class among Immortals, so there are no Immortal Marquises or Immortal Kings[16].

The Zerg Race Queens all specialize in soul-type techniques like Soul Attacks and Illusion Attacks. This includes creating Soul Slaves that serve multiple purposes, such as espionage, transportation, and defense. Through their created soldiers, they also have powerful material attacks, giving them great overall combat ability. With their Spirit Energy and Consciousness, they are able to individually control thousands of soldiers, performing precise combined attacks that are impossible for other races[17]. When allowing the soldiers to use Original Law-infused attacks, a queen is limited to controlling 10,000 soldiers at once, but when simply ordering them to attack one spot or withdraw, they can control 1 million soldiers[18]!

Appearance[]

The appearance of Zerg Race lifeforms depends on its class and type. The Queens vary in size depending on their cultivation level, and have a white, translucent, crystal-like body. They have beautiful translucent butterfly wings, a face covered with mist, emitting an unordinary charm, and are considered incredibly beautiful and intoxicating. The soldiers have different appearances depending on the type of soldier produced; Irina produced armored bugs, mantis bugs, and shadow spear bugs, but countless types of bugs exist.
