Chapter 1423

Beep!

Yellow scales! Must be careful!

A suspected special alien species has appeared behind the Frontline!

Inside the pitch-black high tower, the Alien Species Overlord, still subconsciously sensing the surroundings, was suddenly startled.

With his mind highly focused, the sudden system notification startled him.

Only after seeing that the warning came from the Frontline Overlord did he come to his senses, and his anxiety and unease considerably lessened.

Is it a special alien species?

Indeed, did he sense something in the unseen?

He let out a light breath.

The Alien Species Overlord, covered in yellow‑black scales, gave a slight nod; his huge form inside the tower shrank a bit and he flew straight out of the conversion core.

He found nothing, but felt afraid.

If explained by the most mysterious 'spiritual' perception, it would be quite normal.

Like most beings, besides the five senses, this world seems to also possess a transcendent 'perception'.

It is not this kind of mental power detection.

Rather, at certain specific times, most beings possess an innate forewarning ability against danger.

As for this, the alien species civilization has actually studied it, but faced with this inexplicable spiritual... or soul perception, they can only regard it as a kind of 'synesthesia'.

Although rationally, from each perception ability no danger is detected, once the information is compiled in thought, an abnormality becomes apparent.

It's like watching a magic show: clearly no flaw is seen, yet instinctively one still feels that there must be a problem.

The unknown is far more terrifying than the known!

Although the special alien species is also troublesome, compared to the intangible pressure he just felt, it's actually not a big deal.

Unlike ordinary alien species, the special ones only fight clumsily with their bodies.

These special alien species wield a mental shock akin to a half‑rule level.

For them, at most the intensity is decent; in terms of eeriness compared to various rules, it's merely showing off one's modest skill before an expert.

'Have the special alien species infiltrated?'

'That's rather rare...'

Like a guardian flying to mid‑air, this Dominion‑level Alien Species, its body covered in yellow‑black scales, carefully observed the surroundings.

No matter how special the alien species, its size remains as it is.

Even if they could use mental power to disguise themselves, they would hardly escape his eyes.

He himself masters spatial rules; his mental power, though not strong due to being an alien species, is still considerably greater than that of other alien species.

He is confident that even if attacked by a special alien species, he can withstand the first wave of ambush.

'Many Fourth Stage have disappeared? Even including an Overlord...'

'Looks like... at least three or four high‑level alien species have acted together...'

'Perhaps I should still strengthen my mental defense...'

For safety, quickly thinking over the available information, this Dominion‑level Alien Species simply mobilized the energy of the conversion tower, attempting to overlay a double layer of protection for itself.

'That group of alien species sent someone to infiltrate, nothing more than wanting to destroy the conversion core?'

'It doesn't matter; in the conversion core, the energy he can mobilize is nearly infinite! Even if three or four came, they wouldn't be his match!'

'Even if the number were greater and the rank higher... he still has enough time to unleash spatial rules!'

With that thought, as he continually fed red energy into his body, the solidified conversion power instantly filled this Alien Species Overlord with a sense of safety.

'Just wait... let's see if those guys dare...'

'Huh...'

'Drip‑drip... drip‑drip...'

While the Alien Species Overlord was cautiously observing the surroundings, in an instant his whole body jolted, and in shock he abruptly turned around!

What the hell!!?

Damn it!! Something is behind me!!

Only a small number of alien species are stationed in the conversion core, and it is utterly quiet.

Thus, the panting and dripping sounds that appeared behind him at this moment were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, instantly making his scales explode all over his body!

I have never been this terrified!

Turning around, the Overlord instantly saw exactly what had appeared behind him!

He saw a white‑bone monster about nine meters tall, its eyes blood‑red and fixed on him. Those eyes, utterly ruthless and pupil‑less, seemed to be filled with greed.

With its head cocked, the ferocious bone head, resembling a battle helmet, bore two sharp bone wings.

Covered head to toe in bone spikes, it looked like a monster clad in bone armor!

And that dripping sound was actually the monster's saliva constantly dripping from its mouth!

It wants... to eat me!!

Its vertical pupils contracted to the extreme.

Almost the moment he reacted, this Alien Species Overlord unleashed all his rule power without hesitation, instantly turning into a descending pillar of light, attempting to blast Lin An to death first.

He didn't know how this monster had appeared behind him, nor how it could evade his perception, as if it didn't exist at all!

He only knew that all of this was too eerie! He had to strike first!

Especially, the intent in Lin An's eyes to devour him made him nearly lose his soul from fright!

Spatial Destruction!

Turbulence Guidance!

Bombardment!

「Buzz!! 」

Accompanied by an extremely rapid rule mobilization.

In the blink of an eye, the rule power bursting from high altitude instantly condensed into a light pillar resembling spatial turbulence.

At nearly a hundred times the speed of sound, it dove straight down!

The sky seemed to be ripped open by a long line.

After instantly unleashing a rule bombardment, this Dominion-level Alien Species showed no complacency; instead, it prepared to widen the distance again right after its attack.

Although he was confident, even a same-tier Overlord would be instantly torn apart by this spatial turbulence, forcing him to rely on sheer vitality to resist!

But...

Too bizarre! Too bizarre!

Overwhelmed by a strong sense of danger, he dared not be complacent!

This is definitely not a mutant! The Frontline intelligence must be wrong!!!

However, facing the spatial turbulence descending from the sky, this Aberrant Mutant seemed completely unaware of danger, merely gazing greedily at the Overlords as before.

No thought, no reason—only the drive to devour everything.

At this moment, in his eyes, this Alien Species Overlord that had absorbed the converted light pillar looked like a snake meat feast slathered in honey.

Sweet, delicious.

「Boom!!! 」

Utterly silent turning.

As the ground a hundred meters beneath his feet suddenly caved in, it was as if an invisible force had stepped on it and collapsed it.

In an instant, right at the edge nearly grazing the rule light pillar, the Aberrant Mutant Lin An appeared like a fiend, suddenly appearing before the Overlord.

「Crack! 」

He bit down.

The rule protection strong enough to withstand a same-tier bombardment was as fragile as paper, easily torn apart.

The next second, a piercing, agonized scream rang out, and large amounts of fresh blood spurted out in all directions like exploding water balloons.

「Ahhhhh!!! 」

The cry was shrill and brutal.

Only seen, Lin An, who had rushed before the Overlord, actually thrust one hand into the Overlord's chest, piercing straight through the viscera and gripping the opponent's spine.

As if grabbing a snake, he forcibly pulled the opponent, then, with eyes full of greed, began to gnaw at the Overlord's head.

One bite after another.

The grating, teeth-aching screech echoed in the night sky of screams.

That was the scrape between teeth and skull, the terror of gnawing open the skull alive.

At the same time, after realizing something was wrong inside, the few other Alien Species within the conversion core nervously rushed out in haste.

「Enemy attack!! 」

An instinctive shout.

But just as they instinctively prepared to search for where the enemy was, they instantly froze in place.

Moreover, several of the lower-tier Alien Species among them trembled uncontrollably all over.

There was no other reason.

In their eyes, the Alien Species Overlord currently wailing and struggling had already had half its head devoured alive.

The bright white brain tissue quivered like jelly.

Despite his tenacious vitality, he repeatedly unleashed his rule power bombardments on Lin An, only to desperately discover they were utterly ineffective.

Struggling desperately only brought him greater pain, serving no other purpose.

「Save me... save me!!! 」

Clearly he himself was an Alien Species, a monster.

But at this moment, his whole face was blurred, the face whose eyes Lin An had eaten filled with pleading.

He desperately shouted for help, and under absolute terror, he seemed to forget that he was a Fourth Stage Overlord capable of destroying a continent.
