I Am The Swarm

But the Riken missiles weren’t limited to simple tracking.

Anticipating potential evasive maneuvers during their design, the Riken AI adapted quickly. Utilizing the computational power of a regional network formed by all warships and support vessels, it implemented a new strategy.

Two missiles approached a space octopus from above and below. Just as the octopus attempted to dodge, one of the missiles exploded unexpectedly, engulfing the creature in fire.

The other octopuses, observing this, immediately distanced themselves from the missiles, refusing to allow them close.

However, evading the missiles restricted their flight paths.

One space octopus, entirely focused on dodging, found itself trapped when two energy beams suddenly intersected, sealing off all escape routes. It was obliterated in mid-air.

In battles where the weaponry of both sides is relatively equal, victory often comes down to information and computational power.

At this moment, while the Rikens held a slight advantage in computational ability, their intelligence was woefully inadequate.

The Swarm’s biological technologies had their weaknesses, but also undeniable strengths.
