Overmind

It took a lot of time for me to be mobile again.

To compress my avatar into something more maneuverable and hopefully to give me back my bodiless advantage. I couldn't do it, I needed an avatar for my energy level to be manageable.

But I managed to make it human size, I only needed to expand my pool into a goddamn ocean! And sink the bastard into it.

He looked like a human male, a tat bigger than what is considered normal size when he was formed he had the skull mask of Vasto Lorde Ichigo from the bleach series. It might be my subconscious at work here since the first time I saw that transformation it made a deep impression on me.

Right now he is rocking with the demon lord sitting on the throne look. A throne was formed from the content of the pool solidifying into a crystal-like substance, that path I once created to go in the middle of the pool now leaded to the throne.

And ever since I moved my new body there, I passed before some of the infested and some weird thing happens to them. The infested women when looking at my avatar were acting strangely… OKs I am not a dense protagonist and clearly, they were horny as fuck and the look the men's gave me had made me so afraid of going out of my throne rooms.

Hell, I am the hivemind, I know what they want to do to me and It scares me. If they want to that to themselves they may, but I am a man who likes boob. On a side note, what the woman did think with me in it was not better.

And if you wish to know what being a hive mind is like, it like open a random page on 4chan, read the content and know that you will have to interact with the minds who wrote it, on an everyday basis. Damn you humans, I had to learn stuff I never wanted to know.

When I asked the world system about the situation of the infested, it laughs his ass off saying the geas which I was abusing, when touching the mind of other, was the cause of this and it will not fix it since one, it can’t and two, it is too funny seeing me run away screaming like a schoolgirl when a pervert think about me.

The moral of this story: everything that you abuse will come back to bite you in the ass, for further reference looks at Lelouch from Code Geass.

Now there were some interesting thing that happens and thankfully able to change my mind, for example, that Terran ship with a psi signal, it was Nova! And the effect of the warp based attack (need to find a proper name leave a comment) did wonder to her and her crew, they wanted for the bottom of their heart to join my family, and of course, I did so.

There was 3 type of people on board as far I was concerned: the mad, the crewman that started to worship me, and the ghost

The mad one will be turned into zombies, the crewman made into sentient infested.

As for Nova and her ghosts, special care would be needed for them, a lot of love and attention was required for them to keep their psionic power and improve on it. Maybe I should send a fruit basket to Mengsk as thank for them.

But for now, that over, need to finish off the directorate.

They had begun to panic after the speech and used various weapons of mass destruction against me. Nuke, bioweapon, nerve gas, asteroid drop and some planet cracker on infested worlds. My personal favorite was some marine squad that turned an atmospheric converter on an old terraforming station into their own private armageddon, messing with terraforming tech is dangerous, the storm they created was so strong that it sent zergling flying on the other side of the continent.

It was high time to eliminate this pest.

Ever since I ordered my broodmother to created other brood with their apprentice, I managed to create a massive fleet and I ordered to gather them all to me.

It took an about a week to gather inside of the Eden system.

The maw was surrounded with the fleets and broods, the new infested moon also finished their transformation into maw breed which fuelled by my psionic energy. The hive empress took command of them and I did assign various brood and fleet to them as an escort.

When we were ready I made the signal to move forward using the body of my avatar for dramatic purpose

I was done playing nice, the core world of the directorate was my intended target, the sol system more precisely.

The place was the center of power inside of the directorate, it was fortified with defensive stations, shipyards, giant rail guns, more nuke that a North Korean dictator wildest wet dream and minefields.

And all of that was in space, on the ground of the various planets, was many fortified cities with a massive stockpile of ammunition, personnel, and weapon.

On my side have lot and lot of zerg, and since I am a cheap bastard when it comes to giving myself an unfair advantage, the remaining ship from the battle of Eden have been stolen and I put a lot of infested goodie on board. I would send them to earth and other highly defended places, inside they were full of specialist strain, infestor, and moderator, their goal like a good recruiter, was to spread the zerg healthcare and social advantage to the maximum number of people they could reach, with our new daycare policy, in which cover any possible work hour, for any children that they may have. And it was without saying free education to up to university level study.

and speaking of unfair advantage, the infested on earth along with the brain bug previously there, I ordered them to start a mass revolt, terrorist action, riot and general chaos. As for my broodmother Slyria, I ordered her to make a new brood under the ocean and on some island like spore canon.

The riot took a week to get it started, but once it’s started, it keeps going and becoming uncontrollable. it is damn scary to see how many people are willing to start a bloody coup, around 80% of the rioters were normal non infested people.

all of this was before I step in the system.

Roughly two weeks after Eden.

My fleets and many broods entered the solar system from the edge, while wormhole travel is useful it does have its limitation since it becomes a natural choke point when moving a lot of units.

So for safety, I made one far from any gravity well allowing to move all my unit without any opposition.

My intended path to earth would pass next to Pluto, Saturn and through the asteroid belt. I would destroy any human operation I encounter, but there was little defense pass the belt. Too much space to defend for any fortification to be worth it.

The real fun would start at mars, as the first colonized planet by humanity, it was heavily defended, manned and stocked with all kind of defense.

Attacking mars was entirely optional being a planet that orbits a star, I could time my attack when the world is on the other side of earth orbit, but where the fun in that.

I happen to like conquering, to test myself and my children, to see what my enemy can come up with to eliminate me. Hell if I ever go in a fiction that has not yet left the homeworld I won't need to use my force as siege hammer, I would recruit locally and stir shit for giggles. Even if I go small scale, I still do plan to cheat, if you are not cheating, you're not trying to win.

There will be exceptions to that general plan, universes like DC or Marvel have their power scale all over the place. In those universes, I plan to blow up their sun at the first occasion to eliminate most of the competition.

Now back to the directorate.

It took awhile for my force to transfer in the system, a couple of hours considering the absurd number of zerg unit I was moving, I still say I was in time.

I did not stay there doing anything,I did send mutalisk everywhere you can think of.

As an advance scout and to eliminate any strangler. Space station everywhere were panicking, mostly trying to get civilian on transport to earth.

human when put in a desperate situation have the fight or flee reflex, in this situation they plan to flee since they could, and people then flee to where they are familiar and feel safe to them, earth was the cradle of humanity, home, this was most of the refugee coming from every world I attacked gather.

Overpopulated in the middle of the mother of all riot, with fanatic cultist and monster coming out of the wave.

But it the seat of power of the directorate, after detecting the first sign of the zerg recently they recalled all of there asset back to earth, they would make their stand here or more likely give the ruling elite time to flee, which I was personally opposed to the ideal.

I made my fleets move in the direction of mars and earth.

as we moved forward keeping an eye out for a possible attack coming from nowhere, we pass next to Pluto.

------------a grieving father POV-----

Deep inside of Pluto

I still remember the event were an alien creature touch everyone's minds.

I was driving with my wife and son, the fucker decided it was the best time to make everyone blackout.

When I regained consciousness we had crashed, my wife dead with a metal pipe in her skull, as for my sweet boy. when I found him he was a broken mess of broken bone and ripped skin, he had been ejected from the cars, he died in my hand.

I wanted revenge on those damn alien, but I received an injury in the crash and couldn’t even properly stand. No army would want a dead weight, so I went to the place I knew I could do the most damage to them and I waited.

My patience was rewarded when the alien bastard decided to invade solar system.

So a few years back I worked on a scientific project here, the project had ended for technical difficulty but most of the heavy equipment was left behind.

The object that I will use to kill those bastards lay deep underground on this frozen world, a prototype reactor that possessed an absurd output.

It had been left to rot there since it was too dangerous to use, I plan to overload the thing then the explosion will send all of those bastard to hell.

I was overlooking the control station that controlled the reactor.

I took the picture of my family out of my pocket, look one last time at them.

Then I push the control to maximum, all of them. The safety was deactivated long beforehand.

The temperature rose, the alarm was screaming and I waited for the end.

-------------3 POV------------

Pluto exploded just as the zerg fleet pass next to it, sending hurling piece of the world through the force of the Overmind.

But it was not the worse thing that happens in this cataclysmic event, Charon the moon of Pluto came crashing into one of the living moons.

Charon who was normally moving at the modest speed of 0.23 km/s or 756 km/h (469.7566213314 mph) had a little boost of speed from the exploding world.

The collision of Charon and the living moon was quite spectacular, the living moon was heading straight into it, and was unable to steer itself in another direction.

Blood and armored plates had been ripped from the living world, the crust cracked and cave in like an egg.

Billion of zerg life had died in this incident.

While for the human defender it was a great victory, but for the zerg overmind it only made one thing, piss him off.
