"How...how do you know?"

The Devourer was shocked.

"Because we are human, and we are smart!"

Seeing the Devourer's expression, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, he didn't know. What he said before was just a test. He didn't even know that the guy in front of him could also become a Devourer Mother Nest and establish a Devourer group not controlled by that Mother Empress!

"Do you have a name?"

Li Chenzhou did not continue the previous topic, but looked at the Devourer and asked.

"Name..."

The Devourer was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"I do, but it's just a string of numbers used to distinguish which branch nest we come from and how many of us were hatched!"

"Hatched? Are you oviparous?"

Li Chenzhou asked curiously.

"Yes!"

The Devourer nodded:

"All Devourers are oviparous. The Mother Nest can decide what type of eggs to produce depending on the situation. That is to say, our identities are determined before we are born! Moreover, the identities of Devourers whose numbers start with 'c' or lower will not change for life!"

"c? Is that your level? What's your number?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

"My current number is b!"

The Devourer replied:

"b-125t-92837481, that's my number! The first letter represents my type, the following number and letter represent the Mother Nest I was born from, and the last string of numbers represents my birth order in all my Mother Nests."

"Birth order..."

Li Chenzhou's mouth twitched. The last string of numbers in this Devourer's number was eight digits, especially since the first digit was nine. According to this Devourer, he was the ninety-millionth or so hatched in his affiliated Mother Nest.

Damn it, a Mother Nest has at least nearly 100 million Devourers. No wonder they need so many worlds as their pastures. They can't afford it with less!

"How many Mother Nests do you have in total?"

Li Chenzhou asked again.

"Nearly ten thousand!"

The Devourer said:

"The scale of the Mother Nests is not the same. Smaller Mother Nests have about thirty to forty million Devourers, larger ones have over 100 million, and the largest ones have about three to five hundred million!"

"You guys really have a lot of people!"

Li Chenzhou's face turned dark. No wonder those Devourers in his world desperately dispatched aircraft and didn't feel sorry for the Devourer soldiers who were blown up along with the aircraft. It turned out they had so many people.

"As long as there is life energy, the Mother Nest can continuously lay eggs and hatch them!"

The Devourer said.

"Huh? Why are you being so cooperative now?"

Li Chenzhou nodded, then suddenly realized a problem, so he asked strangely.

"Human, didn't you say you wanted to support me?"

The Devourer said:

"And I really need your support, because...now other Devourers are also my enemies. In your words, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

"Well! It seems...Devourers aren't stupid either!"

Li Chenzhou laughed:

"That's right! I want to support you, and I'm supporting you in order to deal with the Mother Empress you mentioned!"

"But if I grow up, I will be the next Mother Empress. In the end, we will become enemies! Right?"

The Devourer stared at Li Chenzhou and said:

"So, before you support me, do you want to put a restriction on me? For example, use mental control to control me? I warn you, if that's the case, I'd rather die!"

"Become a Mother Empress? You?"

Hearing the Devourer's words, Li Chenzhou was stunned.

Of course, Li Chenzhou didn't know the Devourer's inheritance method. His original plan was to use the origin of the universe to create more Devourers like this, and then bring them back to his world and throw them into the Devourer Mother Nest there, so that they could enter the space channel and return to the Devourer's lair.

At that time, Li Chenzhou would also let them bring some of the origin of the universe with them, and release it immediately after returning to the lair to create more mutated Devourers.

Didn't the Devourers create an apocalypse in their world and create so many zombies? Then, he would let them experience this feeling too!

At that time, the Devourers' lair would definitely be in chaos. Even if he couldn't inflict heavy damage on the Devourers in the end, he could at least buy some time for Li Chenzhou. No matter what, the Devourers would have to quell the chaos in their lair before shifting their attention entirely to his side.

But now, what is this guy saying? He can also become a Mother Nest?

"Our life form is different from yours. My current number is 'b', which is the highest-level Devourer besides the Mother Empress and the Mother Nest. Devourers of our level can transform their life form into a Mother Nest at any time!"

The Devourer said:

"At that time, our first letter number will become 'a'! And we can also start producing other types of Devourers, and even form our own fleet - of course, they are all controlled by the Mother Empress!"

"The Mother Nest is 'a', so the Mother Empress's number is 's'?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

"No! The Mother Empress has no number, she is just called the Mother Empress, because there can only be one Mother Empress!"

The Devourer replied.

"Aren't you about to become the second one?"

Li Chenzhou said.

"That's if I first confirm that after cooperating with you, I can indeed become a Mother Empress and won't be schemed against by you before that!"

The Devourer said.

"I won't scheme against you! Although I'm supporting you, it's actually for the sake of humanity, and I'm not kindly trying to help you, but you can indeed get what you want in this process!"

Li Chenzhou looked at the Devourer and said:

"What you're thinking is nothing more than this: if I support you, then in the end, you will become like the current Mother Empress, and you will still be a great enemy of our human race. I can't possibly watch you grow to that point, right?"

"That's right! For you humans, it would be best if all of us Devourers died out!"

The Devourer said.

"Well! I certainly hope so!"

Li Chenzhou nodded and said:

"But that's not very realistic, at least for us right now!

So, I want to help you. Even if you can become an existence like the current Mother Empress in the future, it should take a long time, especially during this time, you still need to kill the Mother Empress who gave birth to you!

This way, by helping you, I not only find a helper, but also buy a lot of time for us. This is quite beneficial for us, and we have no reason not to do it! Right?"

"Well! What else?"

The Devourer nodded and said.

"In addition, I have another idea. If it really works, even if you become a Mother Nest, we may not become enemies!"

Li Chenzhou thought for a while and looked at the Devourer...
