Chapter 248 Chapter 246: Strong increase! Dominant increase! Crazy increase! Massive number of bone-eating beetles (Additional update by leader WeenTesla)
In the outer space orbit, three huge fleets crossed the distorted universe and arrived near the far orbit of Kevin 9.
Afterwards, the three fleets immediately turned on their radars at full power and began to quickly determine the current situation on Kevin 9.
First of all, what they saw was naturally the huge life-devouring planet mother nest in the distance.
Then, the radar began a large-scale scan of the entire planet.
"Report: Currently, 43% of Kevin is covered by the flesh and blood fungus of the Life Devourer. It is still plundering the surface and does not threaten the core temperature of the planet!"
"Report, high-intensity combat is underway in the Eastern Metropolis, and a large number of the Holy Church's Iron Virus have been detected!"
Soon, images of the battlefield below were transmitted to the three captains.
The three captains who were in a meeting at the time were shocked when they saw this situation.
It can be seen that the battle on the ground at this time can be described as tragic.
The collision of steel and the torrent of flesh and blood has completely mixed together.
Those steel warriors who were fearless and had devout faith on their faces were like the blades of a meat grinder in the tide, chewing up all the flesh and blood in front of them without fear of death.
At the same time, on the other side, due to the continuous interference from these steel warriors, the Life Devourer also evolved accordingly.
He spent a lot of resources to strengthen the shells of these warriors, and at the same time allowed a large number of warriors to evolve venom on their claws that could corrode all metals.
This metal venom is extremely vicious. After attacking those steel warriors, it can directly disintegrate their metal bodies.
The captain of the Spear of the Stars, the Eternal Fire Elf Kadiel, said in shock:
"Such a massive and terrifying Iron Virus, could it be that the Mist Horn is here?"
The captain of the Blazing Star, Metal Life's Lady, said:
"According to the company's information, the Mist Horn did appear on Rhodes Planet some time ago."
"But the final whereabouts of the Misthorn remains a mystery."
"Now it seems that he was taken down by this Director Gehros."
Captain A21 of the Emberslaine Servant asked:
"He was the one who killed the demigod at the time, so it wasn't a big deal."
"Now my question is, why can he control and activate the Mist Horn?"
"Look, we can tell from the battlefield that he is very good at controlling the Mist Horn."
Afterwards, the three of them looked at the various giant steel objects that kept flying out in the image. It was obvious that they were part of the Iron Authority.
Kadir exclaimed: "No wonder Minister Amaranthus cares so much about this Gehros."
"But now it seems that the situation of this Director Gehros is not good."
"These steel warriors transformed by the virus are not invincible."
"The corrosive liquid of the Life Devourer has caused a lot of damage to these iron warriors."
Metal Lifeform Leidy said: "This amount of damage is not a problem for the more than 20 billion people."
"And don't forget it."
"The last time the Mist Horn appeared on Rhodes Star, there was more than just Iron Mist."
Upon hearing this, A21 immediately said: "Metallic Bone-Eating Beetle!!"
There was a shiver in Kadir's eyes: "I hope this guy can control these bugs."
"I still remember how horrible it was the last time these bugs overran the universe."
Leidy said: "Well, dear colleagues, the situation inside the planet does not require our intervention at the moment."
"I don't think Minister Aku would want us to steal the limelight from his right-hand man."
"In that case, our goal is simple."
The three of them then turned their attention to the huge planetary mother nest and gave orders at the same time.
"All combat units on alert, all naval guns preheated, energy fuses released!"
"Scorch fighters ready!"
"Prepare to destroy the bomb!"
"attack!"
In an instant, a large number of fighter planes flew out from the spaceships of the three fleets.
At the same time, all the ships' main guns opened fire.
Dense and dazzling beams of light directly bombarded the flesh and blood planet.
The flesh and blood planet here immediately fought back.
A large number of huge flesh monsters covered with hard shells fell off the flesh planet and rushed over like a tide.
……
The flesh and blood monster on the ground that was attacked by the planet's mother nest suddenly stopped moving.
Sui immediately knew that the company's fleet had arrived and was attacking their planetary home.
Then, these flesh and blood monsters seemed to feel a sense of urgency.
The subsequent attacks became more frenzied.
They were eager to plunder all these humans and turn them into nutrition, so as to produce more troops and annihilate all the human fleets that blocked their feeding.
For a moment, the entire battlefield in the front was under tremendous pressure.
Due to the appearance of those horrible corrosive liquids, a large number of steel warriors in the front were melted by these venomous liquids and turned into a pool of iron water.
Although their souls have returned to the mist under the protection of the great master, in the short term they will no longer be able to become the master's sharp blade and sacrifice to the master's wrath!
It can be clearly seen from the air that the Life Eater is relying on the power of its venom to rapidly devour the iron warrior line of the metropolis.
Every second, tens of thousands of steel warriors have their bodies corroded and their souls return to the fog.
But soon, new steel warriors arrived at the front line.
Now, the number of steel warriors transformed by Sui has exceeded 100 million.
These 1 million steel warriors formed a long front line, protecting the 19 billion people alive today behind them.
However, due to the enemy's madness, the battle line was about to be broken.
"Hold the front line! We must not let these damn monsters take another step forward!"
Dannik, the mutant veteran leading the battle at the front, waved his mutated arms, smashing the monsters in front of him and shouting excitedly.
Dax in the distance also kept swinging his steel blade and roaring.
"We must not bring shame to our Lord because of our own incompetence and cowardice!!"
But at this moment, no matter how determined their fighting will was, no matter how powerful their killing power was, due to the suppression of the venom and the attacks of enemies that were 10 times their number, flaws appeared in the battle line.
Roar!
Dannik was trampled under the feet of a five-meter-tall flesh-and-blood war beast.
Then this elephant-like war beast will spray out deadly corrosive liquid, turning Dannik's body into molten iron.
But at this moment...
buzzing...
There were slight tremors, like the sound of a mosquito's wings flapping.
The sound coming at this time was not just one mosquito, but countless mosquitoes.
The struggling Iron Warriors turned their heads and saw the overwhelming, finger-sized ferocious flying insects flying towards them. These insects, like them, had solid iron bodies.
They flapped their metal wings and completely surrounded all the flesh and blood monsters on the front line like a tide.
Then, under the shocked gaze of these steel warriors, the massive flesh and blood monsters in front of them began to struggle violently.
They swung the bone blades in their hands wildly, spraying spikes and spores, or emitting corrosive venom.
But all this is very effective against those huge steel warriors, but the effect is minimal against these bugs.
However, these insects can be like flames that melt blood, and they can eat up a large area of these flesh and blood monsters the moment they come into contact with them.
These bugs are so efficient and their attack power is so terrifying.
Even those elite warriors who have evolved impact-resistant shells are helpless against these bugs.
Because their impact-resistant shells mainly cover key parts such as the chest, head, and arms, while areas such as the joints, neck, and armpits remain unprotected.
A large number of insects drilled into these places and ate them clean from the inside.
However, as the wings of a large number of insects vibrated, the iron warriors discovered that these insects quickly changed their strategies under the control of the great god.
They will first rush over and chew all the fascia and joints on the opponent's body, making the monster unable to move.
Then, densely packed insect eggs were planted on the bodies of these flesh and blood monsters.
The eggs hatch so quickly that they turn into larvae in less than 5 minutes.
The larvae will then open their sharp mouthparts to devour more flesh and blood.
Then in less than half an hour, it can grow directly into an adult!
This kind of geometric fission growth is so terrifying.
The battle line that was on the verge of collapse was reversed with the appearance of these insects.
At this time, Su Yi's voice sounded.
"You have done well, my children!"
"You protected the weak behind you and your compatriots."
“You have lived up to my expectations of you.”
"Your bravery and perseverance have not disgraced my reputation."
"You bought me enough time."
"Now, my children, with the help of these lovely little fellows, begin the harvest!"
Hearing that their heroic struggle had been recognized and praised by the Great Lord, the hearts of all the iron warriors present were filled with indescribable glory and gratitude.
Dax raised his blade high: "Fellow countrymen!"
"For the great Emperor Xuanhuang!"
"Charge for our homeland!"
Finally, with the help and cover of these metal bone-eating beetles, a large number of steel warriors began to attack and charge frantically.
The metal bone-eating beetles in front can help the iron warriors block most of the corrosive venom.
Without the threat of these corrosive venoms, the Iron Warriors can attack with freedom.
The corpses smashed by the Iron Warriors will quickly become nests for the breeding larvae of the Metal Bone-Eating Beetles.
The larvae quickly absorbed the blood, flesh and vitality of the corpse and grew into adults.
After maturity, they mate and lay eggs in the flesh and blood crushed by new iron warriors.
……
The reproduction rate of the metallic bone-eating beetles is extremely terrifying.
Su Yi could feel the insects increasing in number, multiplying rapidly, and growing wildly every moment!
In about 4 hours, Sui had obtained about 500 billion metal bone-eating beetles.
These metal bone-eating beetles grow in a crazy geometric pattern, and their spreading speed, terrifying attack power, and devouring ability are so astonishing.
The sudden appearance of deadly enemies and the charge of more and more Iron Warriors caught the Life Eaters off guard.
The crazy fighting spirit and desire to attack formed by the attack on the planet's mother nest were gradually fading under the impact of the overwhelming metal bone-eating beetles and the huge number of steel warriors.
As Sui controlled more and more areas, his progress in gaining access to dragon veins and his authority grew.
Soon, more desperate people became his steel subjects.
Then, with fanatical faith and gratitude, they rushed to the front line accompanied by the metal bone-eating beetles.
Under this crazy snowballing, it only took Sui five days to devour all the insect nests surrounding the entire Eastern Metropolis, including the flesh and blood towers that were thousands of meters high.
A terrifying iron fog now covers all areas of Eastern Metropolis.
All the remaining ordinary people have been completely transformed.
All the flesh nests and fungal carpets that had been built here before were eaten and devoured by the metallic bone-eating beetles, leaving not a single trace behind!
The whole process is like countless insects and microorganisms eating up all the flesh and blood on the surface of the planet without any waste.
After dealing with all these, a large number of steel warriors led the metal bone-eating beetles and advanced rapidly westward.
The Xuyuan fleet above the void rift has now completely evacuated.
All that remains are the Flesh Nest and a few Zealot Marauders.
However, the Life Devourer could not obtain any flesh and blood supplies on Xuyuan's side.
Their home planet was under constant attack, and the ground was being eaten away by the Iron Legion and metal bone-eating beetles...
There is a sacred tree over there in Diamond City, blocking their attack...
Under attacks from multiple sides, the Life Devourer's will weakened.
Because it found that it could no longer gain any more benefits here.
What’s more critical is that while one cannot gain any benefits, one may also be annihilated from multiple directions at any time.
On the 15th day after the Life Devourer arrived at Kevin , all players and residents were shocked to see that the flesh and blood fungus blankets began to shrink rapidly.
Then, they were quickly compressed and turned into twisted monsters that were hundreds of meters long and had hundreds of wings.
Then they all flew towards the sky.
"What's going on!?" The players were stunned when they saw this scene.
At this time, everyone heard Maria's voice.
"Everyone board the ship and attack immediately!"
"These life devourers are trying to escape with the resources!"
"We must not let them leave here with the resources of this planet!"
"Now the battle has reached its final stage!"
"Cut off their retreat!!"
Hearing this, all the players immediately got ready to go.
At the same time, Chuck, who had been on standby, immediately dispatched all his attack ships.
"Victory belongs to the goddess!"
"Destroy these bugs!!"
