Chapter 1437

Overlord, what are you hesitating about!!

"How, could you still be thinking of betraying us!"

The outbreak was far quicker than imagined.

Only seeing here in the Rear, whether Aberrant Mutant or Alien Species High Level, they instantly formed a surrounding posture, enclosing the Overlord within.

In their words, utterly without courtesy, whether the erupting pressure or the threatening intent, instantly caused the Overlord's face to darken.

Betrayal! Damn it! This bunch of bastards actually dared to bring this up in front of him!

However, his anger dared only to hide in his heart; the Overlord remained silently standing in place, his mind racing to weigh.

He knew.

At their level, there is hardly any room for pretense.

Especially, when it concerns the survival of the species, these fellows might have previously been wary of offending him and such things! But now they have all tossed such considerations out of their minds!

Formerly respecting him, even granting him privileges, that was merely false!

From the bottom of their hearts, this group of Alien Species never regarded him as one of their own!

Anyone can see that the Aberrant Mutant Sovereign is 'missing', while the Alien Species Sovereign is desperately breaking down the door to return; the time left for them is almost measured in seconds! Now they keep piling people up to 'feed' Lin An, purely because they don't want to die! Moreover, they dare not let Lin An eat the conversion core!

A tremendous stroke of luck!

That monster's strength seems stuck at a certain critical point, and has not yet broken through!

Moreover, 'Lin An' now has no rationality to speak of, unaware of slaughtering through them to devour the conversion core!

That core is likely what Lin An needs to break through to the final stage...

In the aftermath of fear, they even felt fortunate about the previous monarch-level mishap.... first blasting the core to pieces, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Boom!!!!

However, after only a couple seconds of hesitation, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar.

Only seeing a monarch-level Aberrant let out a painful cry, its massive body like a great mountain, somehow having been clawed into the breastbone by an Aberrant Mutant.

The Aberrant Mutant had swollen to a body of the same size, suddenly erupting with power terrifying to the extreme.

In that instant, it actually slammed his whole body like a warhammer fiercely onto another monarch-level Alien Species.

Sound waves surged.

It was as if millions, tens of millions of trains collided simultaneously. A narrow, burst-compressed air shockwave instantly deformed between them, piercing heaven and earth.

Under the violent impact, the two sides that had been desperately restraining Lin An were instantly shattered, bones broken throughout, organs bursting apart.

"Quickly think of a solution!!!"

"We can't hold on...!!"

"Pfft!"

Having several ribs torn apart alive, the Aberrant, swung as a warhammer, was heart-wrenchingly torn apart, not even having time to finish a shout.

The next second, the Aberrant Mutant stabbed a hand into its throat, as if tearing out its entrails alive, instantly causing this Aberrant to scream in agony.

The Aberrant Mutant's narrow, bone-spike-laden arm violently stirred inside its entrails; even with immense vitality, it instantly felt collapse.

Meanwhile, the monarch-level Alien Species shielded by rule protection, seeing the scene before it that could no longer be described as brutal, was even more 'startled' to shake all over, nearly wanting to flee on the spot.

It is not that their minds are weak, nor that as Fourth Stage beings they are as timid and cowardly as ordinary people.

But when facing a monster capable of threatening their own lives, every life feels fear from the depths of its genes.

Death, that is a terror even transcendent beings cannot surpass.

Especially, this is no longer a battle, but a massacre.

Super-effective thinking is meaningless; calm combat is also useless.

Their only hope is to drag out until the Sovereign's Descent, just as before.... then join forces again to kill this monster.

"Overlord!!"

Staying in the Rear, watching the horrifying scene before them, a large number of Alien Species finally could not hold back, once again loudly urging forward.

There is no longer any room to delay!

If it weren't for the Aberrants willing to join forces, relying on their strong physical strength they could still temporarily 'stop' Lin An; but with just them, they would likely only be able to escape the death battlefield.

Too terrifying! This monster, the vengeful return of Long An, is even more terrifying than before!

"Don't force me!!"

"You guys don't force me!!"

Facing a large number of Alien Species almost on the verge of madness, nearly forcing themselves to act, the Overlord also could not help but roar angrily.

Behind him, a pair of tightly closed eyes' phantom suddenly appeared, as if also mobilizing all power at this moment to prevent anyone from acting against him.

"If I act now, what if Lin An is still immune?!"

"If I can't kill him in one breath, once he gains immunity, we'll be even more doomed!!"

"Can you guarantee he is merely Long An, merely relying on those things to be immune to rules?!"

"What if he can absorb any rule?!"

The voice was urgent, angrily pointing.

A stark change from his usual aloof, all-controlling demeanor; at this moment the Overlord also finds it hard to stay calm.

In fact, he really wants to question this damned bunch of Alien Species: what exactly did they do to Long An's corpse back then!

This bunch of idiotic Alien Species, mistaken again and again! Back when they killed Long An, they simply concealed the corpse from him!

Wasn't it said he was already dead to the core!?

Wasn't it said he had been divided, eaten, and turned into a genetic template for producing Alien Species!?

Now it seems Lin An is very likely indeed Long An, and moreover has been 'remodeled'; who knows what kind of Long An he has become! Otherwise there's no way to explain this Sovereign form, nor the ability to be immune to rules.

But there is still the worst possible scenario.

That's still Lin An, still Lin An; he not only gained Long An's power, but made it even stronger!

"Immune to all rules..!?"

After the words fell, whether alien species or altered beings, they first all stared in shock, then their faces changed and they hurriedly denied.

Impossible! They couldn't believe it, nor could they think such a thing could happen.

They had Overlord act, not because Overlord truly had enough combat power to kill Lin An, but because the rules Overlord commanded did not belong to the Long An of that time.

Their rules would be ineffective, because they had stolen Long An's power, and it being ineffective is normal.

Rules are like knowledge, like a meme attack; their understanding is not as high as Long An's back then, so naturally they cannot harm the opponent!

But Overlord was the first to reach the Fourth Stage, and that was through his own effort! One could say that in the final battle back then, he was the second strongest, second only to Long An.

Therefore, in their judgment, Overlord could inflict damage on the Aberrant Mutant and hold out until the Sovereign's Descent!

Seeing the alien species surrounding him still unwilling, they still hoped he would act.

Overlord took a deep breath, his face grim, and had no choice but to firmly state his stance:

"Wait for the Emperor's Descent, I will surely cooperate and act!"

"Aren't you afraid that after the Emperor's Descent, power loss will be too great, and then you won't even be able to instantly kill this monster!?"

"We only have one chance! I have failed now, causing Lin An to undergo another mutation; by then it will truly be a dead end!"

After earnest persuasion, Overlord silently cursed nonstop; he only hoped these fools would listen to his judgment and stop pressing him!

Let him act now!? What a joke!

If another mutation really occurs, he'll have no last resort left!

Especially...

Staring fixedly at the terrifying white figure on the battlefield, Overlord couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, while a hint of indescribable jealousy flashed in his eyes.

He feared that his action would trigger Lin An's awakening.

He knew what he had done.

Why!?

On what basis!?

Even dead, they're stronger than us!

Damn monster! That's why everyone originally wanted you dead!
