==== Right before this, the swarm was roughly: ====
* ~10³⁰ monsters (more units than stars in the observable universe by a lot)
* Per unit: - Shield: ~10¹⁵ HP - Body: ~10¹⁶–10¹⁸ HP - Regen: 10¹² HP/sec shield + 10¹² HP/sec body
'' Abilities: - Dodge - Combine - Devour - Hyper-fast mutation + hive mind - Split if not fully destroyed - Can regrow from even a ''hair strand* of leftover matter

Now multiply everything by 1,000,000,000,000 (10¹²):

===== - 10³⁰ × 10¹² = 10⁴² monsters =====

10⁴² is insane. That’s like if every grain of sand in the universe had its own planet-sized swarm of monsters. There’s no empty universe left; it’s all “them” with tiny gaps.

===== - Shield: - 10¹⁵ → 10²⁷ HP =====
* Body: - 10¹⁶–10¹⁸ → 10²⁸–10³⁰ HP
* Regen: - 10¹²/sec → 10²⁴ HP/sec for shield and 10²⁴ HP/sec for body

So each individual thing:
* Heals a ridiculous amount every second,
* Has beyond-stupid HP,
* And there are 10⁴² of them.

Plus all the previous rules:
* Splitting from damage,
* Hair-strand replication,
* Devour, regen, mutation, hive mind.

Total effective HP of the swarm is now something like:
