But even if we can't kill these worms with gamma rays, it's still possible to use the portals they open to the void to explore a wider void world.

When it comes to scientific research, Tony acts with unprecedented enthusiasm.

After the Paradise riots ended, Tony, along with Dr. Banner, Stephen, and others, quickly collected most of the data and results at the Paradise research base. Then, he led a large group of Mrs. Akano, who were also interested in this project, to the area around the ruined battlefield.

The shattered battlefield is now three times its original size. More military units have been deployed around the battlefield, and a stronger, more ferocious defensive line has been laid out across the entire area.

Not only soldiers in the armed forces, but recently, in the face of these insects' fierce attacks, the coalition government and military have even openly issued large-scale recruitment orders to major labor unions and various civilian organizations.

Once a certain number of bugs are eliminated, a certain amount of money can be obtained from the mission transfer point of the United Government and the Armed Forces.

The more bugs you kill, the more rewards you get.

Aside from a very small amount of secret equipment that cannot be distributed, the reward pool also contains a large amount of alien materials, toxic armor, gene potions, and steel armor.

There are too many insects to be found with just the army. Whenever there is a mission like this, assassins, gang members, thugs, and illegal robots from all over the world will flock to this military feast.

Monsters from the Holy City and modified robots from the Forgotten Realms even appeared on the battlefield.

Only through this almost universal hiring method can the entire battlefield be held back and prevented from expanding; otherwise, under the Zerg's frenzied attacks, the battlefield would have already expanded to New York City.

The larger the battlefield, the more insects it can accommodate, and the less pleasant the human situation becomes.

On a landing mothership not far from the battlefield, Xu Fu and Tony were alright, but the young Arcana people Tony was with looked pale as they gazed at the horrific battlefield.

Tony and the others didn't have to wait long. Their steel armor, painted in the colors of the Stars and Stripes and billowing smoke, left the battlefield, eliminated a swarm of gliding bugs in the air, and then passed through layers of aerial security facilities before landing with a thud on the deck of the airborne infantry mothership.

He struggled to remove his somewhat deformed Iron Man suit, and as James Rhodes stepped forward to hug Tony and Xu Fu, a slightly tired smile appeared on his tanned face.

Even under the protection of his Iron Man armor, James Rhodes still bore the marks of intense gunfire from the battle.

This was Tony's best friend in the army. Seeing this, Tony frowned and said, "James, has the battle really gotten this difficult? You, the youngest major general in the coalition government, are you going to join the fight?"

James raised an eyebrow and said, "Tony, that damn capitalist, all he does is hide in the lab drinking coffee. He should send you to the battlefield for two months so you can experience what the pain of war is like!"

"A month and a half ago, we discovered that these damned bugs had built more than three level-two nests within the void portal. The military has made several attempts to drop nuclear weapons into the void portal, but the results have been minimal..."

Three level-two mother hives are enough to feed these damned bugs and quickly form an overwhelming mixed force on such a large battlefield.

The military even used nuclear weapons several times, which shows how intense the war was.

It is no exaggeration to say that the firepower on this battlefield is enough to support Earth in a humble battle at the center of the universe.

The development on Earth, which should have accelerated rapidly immediately after the meeting in the Dark Palace, has stalled due to this insect invasion.

Almost all of Mars, Jupiter, and the rest of the inner solar system’s vast resources have been poured into this endless war.

Even more repulsive is that these insects are capable of destroying and devouring almost any matter. After this long war, Earth made significant progress in developing combat capabilities and infantry weaponry, but everything else was swallowed up like a bottomless pit.

0 ..... ....

Tony's expression turned grim after hearing James's words.

Previously, Tony had some understanding of the battlefield, but after spending so much time in the lab, his knowledge was still too limited.

Based on James's words and the information gathered during the war, the entire Supreme Command already knew that these Zerg were waging a war of attrition.

Or rather, the Void Worms have always managed to turn the pace of war into a war of attrition in their conquests throughout history. In such wars, the opponent will have a hard time if they encounter a powerful race.

Even the demons of the endless abyss would not want to compete with these insects for food.

Nevertheless, God could not tolerate the endless harassment and banished these insects from the real universe.

This is very frustrating, but there's nothing you can do about it.

"If our plan succeeds, and we have enough fractured worlds, we can build a powerful army strong enough to crush these damned bugs, and even enter the void portals to occupy their void settlements. Then our universal divine plan can truly spread, and one day we will be able to gather enough power to chase these damned bugs into the void..." IX.

Chapter 529 The experiment begins

These little tricks, which outlined the big picture and the desire for the best outcome, were almost obvious to Tony, but he decided to accept Xu Fu's support and assurances.

At that moment, Tony felt that he carried the fate of all mankind, the future of humanity, on his shoulders.

After exchanging a few words with Xu Fu, James, and the others, Tony quickly immersed himself in the almost non-stop, noisy research with unprecedented conviction.

Looking at Tony's somewhat imposing figure, Xu Fu became somewhat wary.

It's possible that you set the bar too high, putting too much pressure on Tony.

James also sensed something strange about Tony's retreating figure. He pursed his lips, looked at Xu Fu, and said, "You feel something's off about that Tony. He's not going to do anything crazy, is he? That damn bug battlefield... it seems like you can find it in '057' Heaven too..."

Xu Fu silently patted James on the shoulder.

The preparations and arrangements for Tony and his team's arrival were, for Xu Fu, James, and the others, just a small episode in an endless war.

After worrying for a few minutes, Xu Fu and James resumed their actions.

The vast majority of Avengers, including most soldiers, are battle-hardened individuals who rarely participate in decision-making or scientific research.

By killing more insects every day, we can gradually reduce the burden on the army and the people.

After a long battle, returning to the front lines to rest, drink, and show off is the daily routine for most people on the battlefield, including the Avengers.

Who knows how long this battle will last? The empty passage in the center of the ruined battlefield has expanded more than three times, and countless insects, like drops of water in a river, seem to flow forever.

On one side of the original spacecraft No. 2, there was a specially modified water bottle.

Xu Fu, with a cigar in hand, a pile of cutlery in front of him, and a glass of light whiskey in his hand, looked down at the brightly lit battlefield through the transparent window.

"Damn it, when will this battle end?!"

Across from Tony, Thor, like a starving man, was rapidly devouring the mountain of food piled up in front of him, occasionally grabbing a large glass of rum standing next to him and taking a big gulp.

Xu Fu shifted his gaze from the battlefield, cast an interested glance at Thor opposite him, and then said, "Didn't you prefer fighting? Are you tired of it now?"

Thor paused for a moment, then said defiantly, "It's just that the taste of this food disgusts me!"

After months of continuous fighting, the Earth's supply of nutrients, life energy, and other resources had long been exhausted in this endless war.

Even powerful figures like Xu Fu and Thor had to replenish their food supplies during the war and rest for a few minutes during their downtime.

When they have overexerted themselves, they can use their understanding of the laws of the universe to replenish themselves from the free energy that is readily available throughout the universe.

But it's rather tragic for beings like Thor.

A good steak is a treat, two is nice, and three is acceptable, but if you eat hundreds of steaks in one meal, even if you have a healthy digestive system, just eating meat will make you sick.

Not only Thor, but also Steve, Hobbs, and everyone else who had recently had the same experience, felt nauseous at the smell of the meat.

Conversely, thanks to the infinite energy reactor, energy systems like Casillas, Natasha, and Heidi can more easily replenish their energy consumption; at least Natasha and the others don't need to rely on food to replenish their strength.

Thor was still complaining and cursing, and even the several physical transferees around him who were resting were shouting and cursing.

Just as everyone was resting, in the middle of the night, a bright silver light suddenly appeared above a specially modified airship.

"Tony!"

Upon seeing the flash of silver light, Xu Fu suddenly stood up, even Thor's face froze.

Using their hands, Xu Fu and Thor opened the stargate and flew to an observation pontoon not far from the mothership.

By this time, Seifer, Nick Fury, General Ross, Pepper, Steve, Natasha, and others had gathered on the pontoon, all looking in the direction of the airship.

Once aboard the float, Xu Fu naturally embraced the kind and gentle Heidi and asked, "Darling, what happened over there?"

Heidi snuggled against Xu Fu like a kitten, clearly having just woken up. She yawned and said, "I just arrived too. Dr. Banner sent a message to all the campers half an hour ago, saying that the research with Tony has made key progress and they are preparing to open the experiment!"

"However, Dr. Banner said that this experiment could cause considerable turmoil among the Zerg, with a one in ten chance that they will attack the Airborne Mothership. Therefore, we need everyone's help to protect it..."

Using the experimental data from the previous mission in the sky, Tony used these two space carriers as a base to create a floating super laboratory city above the battlefield. This improved and reduced the pillars of the Star Project to some extent, and optimized the coordinate process of the Void Fragment world to some extent.

Xu Fu could only understand half of all those things about gamma rays, radiation, void, and so on, even after he became Mrs. Akano and mastered the Will of Truth.

However, since they are all empty products, this experiment may attract the attention of insects.

Xu Fu and his team's experiment was completely useless, and they had to mobilize a large number of 0.9 people to reinforce the perimeter of the huge floating laboratory.

At this moment, the initial silver light gradually converged on the huge platform. Accompanied by the mechanical clicking sound, a thinner astral pillar slowly rose from the mechanical platform. Under Jarvis's control, it quickly assembled into a strange obelisk shape.

Immediately afterwards, the entire floating laboratory lit up, and endless energy, like a great river, flowed continuously into the giant obelisk.

A silver arcane rune shimmered on the obelisk and quickly coalesced into a massive energy ring.

Instantly, a silver light burst forth from the top of the obelisk, so bright that it was impossible to see clearly, and rushed toward the empty passage in the center of the ruined battlefield.

Chapter 530 The Worm's Madness

Tony's skill is unquestionable, not only by the Avengers, but by the entire Earth, and even by the entire universe. No matter the technology, as long as it has even the slightest bit of power, there is nothing Tony cannot hack.

Tony can not only hack it, but also improve it using various techniques.

The Pillars of the Astral Plane were a technology that Tony valued highly. After an experiment in Heaven, under the pressure of a huge swarm of insects, Tony, Dr. Banner, Stephen, and others worked day and night to improve the Pillars of the Astral Plane.

They released another burst of gamma rays. Although Tony and his team still had very little control over this cosmic energy, they had the basic control and the overall scale of the release in their hands.

A blinding silver light, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing and destroying everything, instantly traversed half the battlefield, then crashed into the Zerg's hollow passage like a waterfall from the heavens, rapidly surging towards depth 11 along the hollow passage opened by the Zerg.

However, this terrifying gamma-ray storm, capable of tearing apart spaceships and shattering a corner of the world, swept over endless hordes of Void Worms. Apart from some newly hatched Void Worms, a large portion of the adult Void Worms developed a silver halo around their bodies, like glowing pebbles, which diverted the gamma rays without causing any harm.

These Void Worms live indefinitely in the Void and have long developed excellent instincts to cope with various radiations, hazards, and Void energies in the Void.

Otherwise, these Void Worms, which live in the Void year-round, would be annihilated by the infinite energy within the Void.
