Chapter 1420: and translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

Pfft

A faint sound of flesh being pierced, on this dark wasteland it sounded especially jarring and shrill.

Six heads were supporting the frontline; the alien species that had originally been in high-speed flight suddenly froze like statues, motionless in an instant.

There was no chance to react, and nothing abnormal.

When they saw that white flash, the sharp bone spines pierced their brains with precision, mercilessly taking their lives.

The rules had no time to activate, and the spiritual energy had no time to be mobilized.

Before Lin An, who was on the verge of mutating to the peak stage, they had utterly no power to resist.

Like squid strung on a skewer.

Appearing among the six alien species, Lin An, now in a mutated state, resembled a white grim reaper.

He, who needed neither spiritual energy nor rules to fight, each slaughter was like a silent vengeful ghost—appearing instantly, exploding instantly.

Ignoring defense, ignoring rules.

Every joint of his body could serve as a weapon; the bone spines extending from him were like countless swords, easily piercing the scales of these alien species.

Sss...

The bone spines slowly withdrew, bringing out bright red and white brain matter.

Thud-thud

Accompanied by the dull thud of corpses hitting the ground, Lin An, who should have lunged instantly to devour flesh and blood, instead stood somewhat anthropomorphized in place, his scarlet eyes gazing vacantly into the distance.

This was the second time he had looked in that direction.

Perhaps he had eaten enough alien species.

Having absorbed vast amounts of spiritual energy and unknown soul power, he now resembled a pure white jade-like bone monster.

His originally pallid bones had now taken on a hint of deep, mysterious light.

Streamlined, ferocious, seeming born for battle, this bizarre form possessed an odd beauty at a glance.

Behind him, slender bone wings like those of a fledgling eagle were slowly sprouting from his spine.

They fluttered slightly, like the wings of a butterfly in the netherworld.

Specks of soul power fell down.

Tilting his head, Lin An seemed to have awakened a memory hidden deep in his flesh, obsessively staring into the distance.

There lay the conversion core where the alien species cultivated and repaired their flesh.

The red light pillar shooting up into the sky stood out glaringly in this darkness, like a massive altar connecting to another world.

Hah... hah..

He emitted a meaningless low growl from his mouth.

A few seconds later, the aberrant mutant suddenly withdrew his gaze, then, like a beast, instantly flung himself to the ground and began gulping down the corpses.

It was as if his earlier confusion and quasi-human state were merely a fleeting remnant of consciousness.

Within the thought space, the Second Will had his eyes tightly shut, his pallid complexion even appearing somewhat translucent.

Things had come to this point; he could no longer control anything.

In fact, an incessant sound, like rising from the very foundation of flesh and blood, kept disturbing his thoughts.

Six hours..

One hour thirty-one minutes...

After a long while, his hoarse voice slowly opened his eyes; a sheet of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the sleeping Lin An.

Time was racing headlong toward Shen Yuan.

The former is the duration of the mutated state; the latter, according to his calculations, is the time it will take, at this rate of consuming alien species, for the aberrant mutant to enter the next stage.

Like a boulder rolling down from a mountaintop.

From the moment the roll begins, everything will only get faster.

No one knows what the Second Will is thinking now; it's like a beast driven to the cliff's edge—either be smashed to pieces or die without a burial place.

Perhaps the only good news is...

At this moment, the aberrant mutant has become powerful beyond logic.

Unless a large number of fourth-rank high-tier alien species swarm it, or a Sovereign intervenes, it seems immune to alien species' rules and can slaughter every living thing it sees like butchering lambs.

And the bad news is that, with the Second Will unable to control it, the mutated Lin An is now heading to devour the alien species' core.

There, a Sovereign awaits.

"Support!? Where are the subsequent fourth-ranks!?"

On a battlefield where the blood mist was thick as substance, vast numbers of Dominion-level alien species and aberrants died each second.

Rules collided with flesh and blood, flesh and energy merging together.

On the fringe of the battlefield, a fourth-rank mid-tier alien species constantly controlling black-light rays couldn't help but shout angrily.

As beings descended from humans, or rather inheriting humanity's original art of war.

Whether aberrants or alien species, in the battlefield of death, combat is conducted in squads, squads forming corps that then slaughter each other.

Each squad is led by a fourth-rank mid-tier alien species as the main attacker, with nine junior alien species cooperating to provide defense and rule control.

Above that, ten squads form a company, commanded by a Dominion-level alien species.

Thus, for their forces, the greatest consumption is always the lowest-tier fourth-rank junior alien species.

The alien species that should have been continuously replenished from the rear have now seemingly vanished, not appearing for a long time.

"Captain! I don't know! The communications were instantly cut off! By rights they should have...!"

"Boom!!"

As his words fell, an alien species wandering the battlefield who had just finished speaking, before he could say another word, was stepped on by a massive aberrant.

Despite his terrified expression, he tried frantically to activate his own defensive rules, but under pure power he was instantly stomped to death like a bug, with a sharp Pa—.

Flying splattered eyeballs shot onto the face of the Alien Species in the Rear, instantly making his expression even uglier.

Damn it! Damn it!!

These Aberrants are nothing but lunatics!

The war broke out far too suddenly—though they held the home-field advantage and were on their own turf, Aberrants surged out from every war hub and converged here all at once! As a result, in a short time their defenses nearly collapsed.

If it weren't for the fact that Aberrants can only fight with physical strength and lack large-scale destructive power, he would even doubt that they and he could await King-rank support before all dying here.

Counting the subordinates who just died, their squad now has only three members left!

"Chi Tong! Are you also having problems over there!?"

"I haven't received any reinforcements here either!!"

In midair, an Alien Species straining to constantly twist spatial rules struggled to control the roaring Aberrants.

As someone skilled in spatial control, he didn't need close combat much, so he still had spare energy to observe the surrounding troops. But as the Aberrants grew in number, he could barely hold on.

As his words fell, all the Fourth Stage Intermediate fighters within earshot on the battlefield froze, exchanging glances as a strange feeling suddenly rose in their hearts.

"You guys have no reinforcements either!?"

"The Fourth Stage I was assigned is also missing!"

"My replacement...!"

"Boom!!!"
