Chapter 1443: Hidden Emperor?

Locate!!!

「Annihilation! Now locate Lin An for me! 」

「Emperor! Positioning requires drawing on energy, roughly..! 」

「Boom!! 「

The moment he burst out of the Dead Battle Land, realizing Lin An had escaped again, the Alien Species Emperor almost went mad and shouted loudly.

Before the Annihilation Overlord could subconsciously reactivate the Black Tower's energy draw, he heard dense screams all around.

「Bang bang bang bang! 」

Seeing this, the Alien Species Emperor, upon hearing he needed energy replenishment, without hesitation crushed a follower in one hand.

Never expecting the Sovereign to strike his own, these Overlord Mutants had no time to react, couldn't even use rule power, and instantly died horribly.

Everyone was shocked.

He paid no heed to the clansmen's shock.

In one breath he crushed over a dozen Overlords; at this moment the Alien Species Emperor didn't care how brutal this was, and the next second he squeezed the Overlords' corpses to forcibly extract energy.

The Black Tower Eye locked onto Lin An, needing energy and more time!

Perhaps before, a few extra seconds wouldn't have mattered.

But now, every second delayed in finding Lin An is immense torment for him!

Staring fixedly around, the Alien Species Emperor now only wants to kill Lin An as soon as possible, lest anything else happen!

No one can grasp how intense his anxiety and anger are now, to the point that he no longer wishes to stay rational!

What use are reason and planning now!?

After painstakingly descending to Earth, he now feels as if he's being toyed with, forced to run back himself!

Years of effort ruined in an instant! He doesn't even know what he did wrong!

What schemes and plans could stop Lin An!? He couldn't imagine! Really couldn't imagine!

A week's time! He watched helplessly as Lin An leapt from third rank to fourth rank! And in the past three days he's been killing King-level beings like dogs!

They clearly valued Lin An enough, and clearly spent everything to exterminate this human!

Hatred surged to the heavens.

Amid successive mishaps, the Alien Species Emperor now even feels some sorrowful rage!

It's as if facing a cheat-enabled foe; no matter how hard he tries, it's useless!

But the sole good news is that perhaps Lin An truly has no trump cards left, and no further mishaps can occur.

Lin An fleeing means he lacks confidence to oppose him!

The faster he runs, the weaker Lin An is!

Although he knows Lin An likely gains system rewards by killing Mutants, he now can only think, must think, that the previously dead Mutants and Aberrants don't count as rewards!

Or perhaps it's counted toward "Long An"—the Long An he himself killed!

「It must be this way...! 」

「Otherwise... 」

Taking a deep breath, while desperately controlling his emotions, the Alien Species Emperor clenched his claws tight, suppressing his inner unease.

He dare not imagine what awaits him if those rewards are all counted toward Lin An...

He can only force himself not to consider this possibility, like a frontline soldier on the battlefield, only wanting victory!

In the deathly silent atmosphere of the venue, many Aliens outside who still don't know what happened are now mute as cicadas in winter.

Meanwhile, the Aberrants who followed out nervously hide to the side, fearful of drawing the Alien Species Sovereign's attention.

They are also uneasy and anxious.

As of now, their Emperor has still not appeared; amid various speculations, they can only play dead.

One must admit, to some extent they even fear that these Aliens suspect them of pulling the strings...

Scorching blood spattered on his face; seeing the Alien Species Emperor so frenzied for the first time, even the Annihilation Overlord couldn't help but stare.

Looking at the bloody, mangled corpse flung before him, he couldn't help feel a chill, dared not say more, and hurriedly activated the Black Tower.

He can see that the Sovereign is now in a state of lost reason; after consecutive losses and fearing further mishaps, the Sovereign disregards everything.

If he shows even a slight problem, fear that the rage‑filled Emperor will kill him too!

Efficiency is nearly at its limit.

After directly using the Overlords as fuel, positioning reactivated.

Accompanied by a sky‑shooting light beam from the Black Tower's top eye, the anxiously waiting Annihilation Overlord instantly lowered his gaze to the ground.

「Emperor!! 」

「In the Earth's Core! Beneath Continent No. 46!! 」

「Boom!! 」

His form flashed; the Alien Species Emperor, who chose to act first upon receiving the exact coordinates, rapidly shrank his massive body, instantly tore open a spatial rift, and shot toward Lin An's coordinates.

「Prepare to shift power! 」

「If it doesn't work... 」

「Detonate the Dead Battle Land! 」

The final command, accompanied by the sound of space tearing, fell into the ears of many Aliens and likewise into the Aberrants' ears.

Hearing the Sovereign's order, several surviving Overlord Mutants exchanged glances, their hearts jolting.

Preparing to shift power...?

Perhaps the Aberrants don't understand what this means, but as the executors of this century‑old hidden plan, they know full well what it signifies...

Ignoring the Aberrants' suddenly doubtful expressions, a high‑level Alien Species couldn't help but glance at the Annihilation Overlord.

Annihilation... Emperor's command.. we..

He raised his hand to stop.

Also shocked by the Sovereign's madness, but compared to the anxious other Alien Species, at this moment the Annihilation Overlord merely took a deep breath, shook his head, and spoke in a low voice:

Do as the Emperor commands!

There's nothing that can't be done!

If you still want to keep something, then you won't be able to keep anything...

After saying that, the Annihilation Overlord gave a complex glance at the Fourth Stage beings of both sides constantly withdrawing from the Battlefield of Death.

Even though he often had great dissatisfaction with the Alien Species' Emperor, he also knew that the other side didn't treat him as one of their own. But at this moment, even with his status, he couldn't help but admire the Alien Species' Emperor's decisiveness.

And.. just how ruthless he is toward himself!

He knows what the conversion power gathered by the Alien Species in the Battlefield of Death is actually used for.

Just now, Wu Qing's words clearly showed an intention to abandon this hundred-year plan.

The Alien Species are no longer hoping for the appearance of a new Fifth Stage.

The Alien Species' Emperor would rather personally destroy this hope painstakingly gathered than fail to kill Lin An!

Moreover, based on his observation, he even doubts whether the current Alien Species' Emperor can withstand the infusion.

The best outcome is to kill Lin An, have the Sovereign fall into heavy injury and sleep, with no hope of advancing to the Fifth Stage.

From now on, the Alien Species have cut off their future and have no hope.

And yet, just a little short...

Wait!?

Fallen into complex emotions, the Annihilation Overlord was suddenly startled, subconsciously looking toward the mutant behind him.

The vanished Mutant Emperor!?

Mutual destruction!?
