Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 634

Chapter 632, Shadow Essence

. Gu Hang’s feeling was correct.

When Varuk, possessed by Gu Hang’s psychic power and ensnared in a trance, his body torn to shreds, leaving him with only his last breath, the Warp shadow surrounding his kingdom instantly weakened.

The most noticeable sign of Varuk’s control and dismemberment was the weakening and demented nature of the ‘him’ Gu Hang observed within the Warp. Of course

, the Warp shadow itself remained.

Gu Hang could see it still encircling his kingdom. He still couldn’t easily connect his Storm Kingdom with the real universe; the Zerg’s attacks on it continued.

However, there were changes.

Gu Hang sensed a noticeable decrease in the density of the Warp shadow surrounding him, and the endless Zerg invading his Storm Kingdom had also diminished in number. This was most directly reflected in the number of Heroic Spirits sacrificed and resurrected.

These changes were even more dramatic than those brought on by Gu Hang’s battles with Varuk over the past two months.

Gu Hang’s direct risk of attacking Varluk was a wise move.

The next step was to completely dispel the Warp shadow that enveloped his kingdom.

Gu Hang could now observe that, deep within the Warp shadow, Varluk had become demented and weak, and the Warp shadow had grown dimmer. However, the long worm shadow entwined with Varluk showed no sign of weakening.

Instead, it grew increasingly ferocious and agitated, opening its maw and biting Varluk’s Warp shadow.

However, it couldn’t bite.

This led Gu Hang to form some connections, and he roughly confirmed that his previous assumptions might be correct.

The most crucial element in this Warp shadow was actually this long worm.

Varluk’s so-called Zerg technology was merely a facade, a deception. The true power was that shadow.

Gu Hang vaguely suspected it was the so-called Swarm Will, or the Queen’s Will.

Whatever it was, the Warp shadow was primarily driven by it.

But it should be parasitic on Varuk’s soul.

If Gu Hang killed Varuk in the real universe, then the worm shadow would probably break free. And this is also likely the source of Gu Hang’s inspiration for not killing Varuk in the first place.

Killing Varuk would liberate the great enemy.

Letting him live would become a prison for the worm shadow.

Looking at the look on its face as if it wanted to bite Varuk to death, it is clear what is going on.

After so many speculations, the problem still comes down to the most core point: how to completely dissolve the subspace shadow?

To do it, it is simple.

After its strength drops significantly, just consume it in the current way.

Gu Hang could even choose to proactively attack from outside to a certain extent.

The time required to completely dispel this Warp Shadow was no longer as unpredictable as before.

He could probably dispel it completely within nine standard Terran moons in the real universe.

Honestly, that wasn’t too long. Nine months to slowly dissipate a powerful Warp Shadow, what’s the big deal?

The Battle of Aramita lasted nine months… not impossible. Gu Hang could then evacuate Alfonzo I with Varuk himself, imprison him but not kill him, and keep the Warp Shadow at a low intensity, allowing him to slowly dissipate it.

As for the Space Marines also fighting aboard Alfonzo I’s Mechanic Ark… if they wanted to send a large number of them in from within the Warp Shadow, they would have to resort to the Thunder Nation’s Flash to dispel the Warp Shadow. Going the other way around would be difficult, even if the Shadow had already faded.

Gu Hang could only evacuate as many as he could. If he couldn’t, then forget it. Calculating from a cold perspective of profit, the loss of five hundred shadow warriors was a loss, and the cost of replacing them wasn’t particularly high.

However, Gu Hang was indeed greedy.

He didn’t want the main battle to drag on for nine months before he could leverage his psychic powers for a counterattack, nor did he want to abandon the five hundred elite warriors who had fought tooth and nail at his command.

Let’s not discuss the latter, just the former. A few months was too long. The current war situation was in a rapidly evolving phase, completely different from the standoff of a few years ago. New information was constantly arriving on the northern and western fronts.

Gu Hang wasn’t easily alarmed by others’ progress; he never compared them. However, a dramatic shift in the situation would bring numerous unknown risks. Wasting the better part of six months in Aramita and missing the opportunity would be one thing, but he feared the possibility of a catastrophic danger looming.

Furthermore, he didn’t want to let go of the numerous ships of the Alfonzo sect.

If he could manage the Warp Shadow while catching the enemy off guard, and then use his psychic powers to aid his fleet in combat, he might have a chance to capture a few more ships. However, if he had to wait nine months and dilly-dally, Alfonzo’s fleet wouldn’t foolishly remain when the situation deteriorated and would inevitably withdraw.

He had to find a way to eliminate the Warp Shadow as soon as possible.

Gu Hang quickly figured out how to proceed.

He’d start with the real world.

The Warp Shadow is essentially the result of soulless monsters like the Void Swarm. When they gather on a massive scale, their soulless nature projects into the Warp, creating a void.

The Warp is an incredibly mysterious place, and this void itself possesses power.

This is exploited by the Swarm’s will, specifically to counter psychically adept opponents.

However, simply gathering a large number of Swarm creatures doesn’t guarantee the formation of a Warp Shadow. A powerful will is required to integrate these wills and truly create a void within the Warp.

That being said, whether it’s the swarm technology Varuk developed, or the powerful manipulation of the Swarm Will or the Queen’s Will, no matter how amplified it is, there must always be a base number.

This base number, that is, the number of swarm creatures gathered together, if it is greatly reduced, then the shadows in the warp will naturally be greatly affected.

And the ship Gu Hang is currently on has hundreds of millions of creatures.
