World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1826 - 80: Space Eater

The self-destruct power of the flagship level is still very strong, each one is equivalent to a full-strength strike by an Upper Control Level.

If it were in another place or within some lower-level insect swarms, these thousands of flagships might have already wiped out most of the opponents.

Unfortunately, what lies before everyone is not just any small insect swarm, but a super large-scale Level 7 insect swarm, something even Blue White Clothes is very wary of, with a number unimaginably vast.

In front of such a swarm, over a thousand flagship self-destructs really couldn’t stir up any waves, much like little flames among the ocean waves, struggling twice before being completely extinguished.

On the insect swarm’s side, a large group of purple silhouettes came flying over, their speed collectively fast, far ahead of other species of insects, seemingly the vanguard of the Desert Worm Clan.

"It’s Bordeaux Space Eaters! So many of them! My God! How can there be so many Space Eaters!!"

The communication channel echoed with terrified shouts, as those words fell, glimpses of Space Eaters still separated by more than ten star distances flashed and reappeared behind the Space Barrier.

"Take them down! Quickly take them down! Don’t give them any chance! Everyone focus fire! Kill this group of Space Eaters first!"

The Commander of the United Army was already pale with fear at this point, it’s hard to imagine a group rated at least Middle Level Controllers proved to be so vulnerable, which starkly showcased just how terrifying these purple insects really are.

Zhang Xiaoman was startled by their sudden spatial jump as well, unexpectedly finding these insects had directly jumped space over to the rear of their defensive line.

This is a kind of insect fully covered in dark purple armor, known as Space Eaters, looking somewhat like a humanoid octopus, with their upper body resembling humans, and the lower body with hundreds of tentacles hanging like an octopus.

Zhang Xiaoman sees this type of insect for the first time, but he had seen its data on the Dark Star Alliance’s catalog before, so he had a certain understanding of them.

Space Eaters are very skilled in using spatial abilities, each possessing Control Level and above strengths, their bodies over five hundred meters long, with amazing defensive power, can be described as massive existence.

If it were another insect swarm, having one or two such Space Eaters would be considered good, but now what appears in front of everyone are over five thousand of them.

Do not be fooled by the seemingly unimpressive combat power of an individual Space Eater, merely Lower Control Level, most at Middle Control Level, but the Desert Worm Clan has a very special ability, which is a kind of Spiritual Power linkage within the group.

With this linkage, some higher-level insect races can absorb the strength of lower-level insect races via the linkage, thereby enhancing their own abilities.

Hence, never assume that insect races lack powerful weapon Magic Treasures and that their individual combat power is weak. With the existence of Spiritual Power linkage, the solo combat capability of high-level insect races would be greatly enhanced, especially with such huge-scale insect swarms, Spiritual Power linkage boosts their combat power several times stronger than cultivators of the same level.

Upon the appearance of Space Eaters, they immediately launched attacks. Their upper bodies bear two arms, but the arms resemble mantis forelegs, resembling two scythes.

With a slight swing of their front limbs’ scythes, space is instantly cleaved into fissures, the warships’ shields merely flickered symbolically before being split into halves and disintegrated with a roar.

Logically speaking, these Dark Spirit Battleships’ shields shouldn’t be so fragile, but now, being in the Insect Domain, the shields’ defensive power was disruptively weakened due to the interference from the Insect Domain, making them seem so fragile.

The United Army quickly began counterattacking, countless Spiritual Power attacks were shot toward those Space Eaters, but didn’t inflict much damage, as a layer of purple space barrier barred most attacks, its formidable defensive capabilities were astonishing.

Fortunately, there were high-level Dark Spirits on the United Army’s side, elite disciples from various families acted to break through with strong individual ability, defeating the Space Eaters.

Of course, this Space Eater raid wasn’t just aimed at destroying the United Army’s warships. Even though their attacks were sharp, capable of taking down a warship instantly, the United Army also had numerous warships and powerful Dark Spirits, eliminating these Space Eaters that charged in was merely a matter of time.

Many Space Eaters spread their arms wide, an elliptical space tunnel opened before them, swarming with countless insects emerging, including numerous Dominis Star Worms, instantly throwing the United Army’s defenses into chaos.

"They are teleporting their companions over! Quickly! Eliminate them immediately! Do not let them continue any further!"

The warship’s firepower was once again redirected considerably, attempting to kill these Space Eaters first.

Now, the United Army had to engage in an exchange of fire with the far-off insect swarm army while simultaneously dealing with insects infiltrating inside, appearing somewhat frantic, with the combat situation becoming more severe.

Zhang Xiaoman casually defeated a fellow trying to launch a surprise attack on him, yet his gaze fell upon a figure far off within the Lan Family Fleet, which was Lan Yue.
