Chapter 348 The King Worm Attacks
The swarm's ability to lay eggs and hatch rapidly was completely destroyed.
At that moment when the Zerg swarm was thrown into brief chaos, Li Ang's voice, transmitted through the [Cooperation Ring] and the Chairman's Badge, resounded throughout the entire army: "Fire!"
The next second, the walls of Riley City, the floating workshops, and the various gunboats—all the firepower units—simultaneously spewed out destructive flames!
The charged shot from the two 460mm main guns was like a divine judgment; a thick, blue-white beam of light tore through the night sky and slammed into the head of a mother organism! Twenty 203mm secondary guns fired simultaneously, forty 155mm rapid-fire guns unleashed a barrage of bullets, and two hundred close-in weapon systems wove a deadly web of fire—
Magic cannons, elemental spells, beams of light from the Divine Scepter—countless attack methods converged into a single symphony of destruction at this moment.
The swarm fell in droves amidst the explosions and flames, and the mother shrieked in anguish, but more swarms poured out of the portal, one after another.
In the sky, the Valkyrie and the Griffin Rider began to circle, slaying the few flying insects that managed to break through the fire net.
Beneath the city walls, the dragons roared in unison, and nearly a hundred adult dragons revealed their true forms at the same time, their dragon breath splashing like a rainbow across the sea of insects.
Alex, the Red Dragon Queen, roared to the sky and charged first into the densest area of the swarm. Behind her, the Red Dragon Legion crashed into the black tide like a burning meteor shower.
Li Ang stood on the command platform, gazing at the battlefield before him, a tapestry of light and fire, blood and iron, and slowly tightened his grip on the magic wand.
This battle has just begun.
But this time, they were ready.
For our home, for survival, for everything we cherish.
war!
"Chairman, the spatial fluctuation readings are rapidly increasing, far exceeding previous peaks! Is some big guy coming?"
Graham Weber’s horrified voice, crackling with electrical static, burst from the badge.
Almost the instant he finished speaking, a warning screamed in Li Ang's heart!
The astral battlefield projection, unfolded by the [Eternal Star Chart LV100] and covering a 50-kilometer radius, resembled a fragile curtain being gripped by an invisible giant hand, emitting a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound.
"Sizzle—!"
A sound as if space itself was being torn apart!
The vast phantom of the starry sky was forcibly torn open from the outside by an unimaginable, brute force!
Beyond the rift lay the tranquil night sky of Riley City; the domain effect of the Astral Battlefield had been abruptly shattered!
Li Ang's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel that the power that tore apart the star realm did not originate from skill or understanding of laws, but was pure to the extreme, an absolute crushing force in terms of size and energy level!
The next moment, at the torn rift, space twisted violently like melted butter, and then formed a terrifying vortex that was dozens of times larger than the previous mother portal!
A colossal creature, its body covered in a dark carapace and its form somewhere between a beetle and a ferocious worm, slowly emerged from the vortex.
The part that was protruding was already longer than the four pale white mother bodies that were thousands of meters long before!
When it finally bursts out of the portal and truly descends upon this battlefield, it brings a suffocating feeling that freezes the soul.
Its body is nearly 10,000 meters long, like a black mountain range stretching across the earth! Dark purple energy veins flow on its black carapace, and its compound eyes are like two blood moons hanging high, coldly looking down at the tiny creatures below.
With its arrival, the portal above the space finally closed completely.
"King Insect—" Li Ang murmured, the name of one of the thousands of mates of the Swarm Queen in the fragments of his memory, a vanguard general with terrifying individual combat power and leadership, instantly overlapped with the ferocious behemoth before him.
The black queen beetle seemed completely uninterested in the chaotic battlefield. Its huge mouthparts, covered with serrated bony plates, opened and closed slightly, emitting a low, muffled "ho" sound, as if it were chuckling.
Then, with a casual reach of its towering forelegs, it precisely picked up a pale white mother body whose head had been blasted halfway by the 460mm main gun and which was writhing and thrashing on the ground in agony.
It's like picking up a slightly plump worm.
"Snap—Pfft—"
A chilling chewing sound rang out, and viscous green fluid cascaded down from the Queen Beetle's mouthparts like a waterfall, corroding the ground and creating plumes of white smoke. The Queen Beetle only managed to let out a short, mournful cry before falling completely silent.
The other three surviving mothers seemed to sense a terrifying pressure that transcended levels, originating from their life instincts. They all let out sharp, distorted screams of fear!
Immediately afterwards, their plump bodies trembled violently, and countless oviposition pores on their bodies opened at the same time, spewing out not insect eggs, but a large amount of dark red mycelium that wriggled like living things!
Once these mycelia come into contact with the restored real ground, they take root, spread, and corrode at an astonishing speed, rapidly transforming the scorched soil that has been plowed by artillery fire several times into a dark red fungal carpet suitable for hatching insect swarms!
This time, they succeeded. The Astral Battlefield was destroyed, and they regained the ability to rapidly hatch swarms.
The fungal carpet spread out at a visible speed, and countless wet, black insect eggs were frantically produced and catalyzed. Then, one after another, ferocious giant insects emerged from their cocoons, hissing as they joined the black tide.
With the three mothers relentlessly reproducing at any cost, the number of swarms that emerged instantly surpassed the scale of the Battle of Obsidian Tower, and it was still increasing rapidly!
The black queen beetle watched this scene with great interest, as if it were enjoying the killing feast prepared for it by its servants.
Can't wait any longer!
A fierce glint flashed in Li Ang's eyes.
"Dragon's Breath Slash!"
In his silver-white giant form, he unleashed his most refined and dazzling strike to date! A blue-white stream of destructive light tore through the air, slamming into the seemingly smooth black carapace of the King Worm!
"Clang!"
With a deafening roar, the energy beams exploded into countless fireflies, leaving only a few faint traces on the King Insect's carapace.
The white marks are almost negligible, and they didn't even break through the outermost layer of keratin!
Li Ang's heart sank. His most powerful single-target attack had been completely ineffective.
This level of defense is utterly despair-inducing!
"All combat golems, land on the ground and join the ground defense line to wipe out the swarm! Engineering golems, maintain the workshop's firepower at all costs!" Li Ang suppressed the shock in his heart and gave the order through the mental connection.
With all the hatches at the bottom of the floating workshop open, seventy-two upgraded combat golems, radiating powerful energy, landed with a thud, forming an ironclad line to bravely meet the surging insect horde. Meanwhile, two six-legged engineering golems moved around inside the workshop, replacing the depleted magic crystals at each cannon position with maximum efficiency.
