Chapter 1793

He didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to refuse.

Translation: "He didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to refuse."

In the strange atmosphere, Lin An suddenly realized that the Zerg and humans think in completely different ways.

Translation: "In the eerie atmosphere, Lin An suddenly realized that the thinking patterns of the insect race and humans were fundamentally different!"

Whether the Xu Kong Nü Huang was continuing her act, trying to steady him, or something else.

Whether the Xu Kong Nü Huang was merely continuing her act, trying to steady him, or something else.

But Lin An had no doubt that this damned bug had completely lost its mind! It really wanted him to *kill her!

But Lin An had no doubt that this damned bug had truly lost its mind! It really wanted him to *kill her!

These bugs lack any human morality or ethics!

Translation: "These bugs have absolutely no human morality or ethics!"

At this point, humans are only concerned with staying alive.

Translation: "For humans, the current situation only makes them consider how to survive."

But for the Zerg, engaging in * among a heap of corpses could be more arousing and exciting!

Translation: "But for the insect race, doing * amidst a pile of corpses might be more intriguing and excite them!"

(What am I supposed to do!?)

We need to keep parentheses and exclamation. Translation: "(What should I do!?)"

Lin An struggled to suppress his overwhelming, complex emotions, focusing only on how to get out of this predicament.

Translation: "Lin An desperately suppressed the indescribable complex emotions in his heart; at this moment he only thought about what he could do to escape this situation."

He had never fully believed the Xu Kong Chong Mu, yet if he refused the Xu Kong Nü Huang now, she would immediately see that Lin An could never truly cooperate.

Translation: "He had never really believed the Xu Kong Chong Mu's words, but if he now refused the Xu Kong Nü Huang, there was no doubt she would instantly realize that Lin An could never possibly 'cooperate'."

(If the second will were present, he'd surely act first and ask questions later. But I...!)

Lin An told himself he was certainly not a stick-in-the-mud.

Translation: "Lin An asked himself if he was absolutely not a pedantic person."

But...

Translation: "But..."

It seemed to notice that Lin An wasn't moving.

Translation: "It seemed to sense that Lin An was hesitating and not moving."

Thinking Lin An was concerned about his own species, the Xu Kong Nü Huang seductively turned and spoke again:

Translation: "Misinterpreting that Lin An cared about her race, the Xu Kong Nü Huang alluringly turned her body and spoke again:"

"What's wrong, Lin Huang? Do you see me as merely a bug?"

We need to keep quotes. Translation: "\"How is it, Emperor Lin? Do you think I'm just a bug? \""

"No, we've consumed more than one human civilization since our evolution began; strictly speaking, we are the Void-devouring species, and the Zerg are just one of our bloodlines."

We need to keep Chinese quotation marks? Use English quotes? The source uses 「」. We'll keep as English double quotes? Probably keep as 「」? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add. We'll keep the same punctuation? Usually we replace with English quotes. But to be safe, we can keep the Chinese quotes? The instruction says output translation; we can use English quotes. I'll use English double quotes. So: "\"No, from the very beginning of our evolution we have devoured more than one human civilization; strictly speaking, we are the Void Devouring Race, and the insect race is merely one of our bloodlines. \""

"My bodily structure and..."

Translation: "\"My bodily structure and.. \""

"Boom!!!"

We need to render sound effect as English sound word: "Boom!!!" Keep triple exclamation? The source has three exclamation marks after the sound. We'll do "Boom!!!" maybe with three exclamation marks. So: "\"Boom!!! \""

Before the Xu Kong Nü Huang could finish, a deafening rules explosion suddenly erupted.

Translation: "Before the Xu Kong Nü Huang could finish speaking, in an instant a violent rule explosion sound suddenly rang out."

The stone door, which had seemed unbreakable, suddenly split open with a huge crack spreading like a spiderweb.

Translation: "Only to see that on the stone door, which had been firmly holding and seemed impossible to destroy, a huge crack spread like a spiderweb and rapidly split open!"

Inside the exchange point, Lin An and the Xu Kong Nü Huang's expressions changed in unison.

In the exchange point, Lin An and the Xu Kong Nü Huang's expressions changed at the same time.

Especially when Lin An instantly received the system alert, his heart lurched.

Translation: "Especially after Lin An instantly received a system notification, his heart jolted even more!"

"Ding, slaying a fifth-stage radiation energy lord four levels higher awards points..."

"What the—!?"

Translation: "This is!?"

"It's not the dead bodies that surprise him, nor the fact that these radiation lords finally employed the rules!"

Translation: "It wasn't the dead that shocked him, nor was it that these Star-Destroying Level beings finally used rules!"

"No, it's the pressure on the starfield battlefield that's still insufficient to kill these radiation lords!"

Translation: "But rather, the pressure of the Star Battlefield at this moment was still insufficient to kill these Star-Destroying Level beings!"

"Self-destruct!?"

Translation: "\"Self-destruct!? \""

"They're beginning to self-destruct!?"

Translation: "\"They've started self-destructing!? \""

Unlike Lin An, who doesn't know the radiation lords' traits, the Xu Kong Chong Mu instantly sensed the rule's strength, her expression shifting as panic flashed in her eyes.

Translation: "Unlike Lin An, who was unfamiliar with the traits of Star-Destroying Level beings, upon instantly sensing the intensity of this rule, the Xu Kong Chong Mu's expression changed drastically, a flash of panic crossing her eyes."

Damn! She never expected the Black Emperor and others outside to be driven to self-destruct in order to blast the door open!

"Open! Open! Open! Open! Open me!!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The giant sword hammered the bluish-gray stone door, strike after frantic strike.

Translation: "The giant sword smashed one blow after another frenziedly onto the bluish-gray stone door."

Under the mounting pressure each second, the Sovereign Ruler appeared utterly mad, his hands shattered by the backlash, yet he refused to cease his assault.

Translation: "Under the immense pressure that surged every second, the Overlord Ruler seemed completely mad, his hands shattered by the recoil force, yet he still refused to give up the attack."

Bloodied all over, only thirteen radiation wielders remained, each in utter misery.

Translation: "Covered in blood, only thirteen Star-Destroyers remained, each in utter misery and despair."

The strength and rule reserves they had deliberately kept were now being spent lavishly, as if cost were no concern.

Translation: "The strength and rule reserves that had been deliberately retained were now being expended without restraint, as if money were no object."

The suppressive force from the falling celestial body is overwhelming!

Translation: "The suppressive force brought by the falling celestial body was simply too great!"

Just a second ago, the physically weakest radiation ruler couldn't bear the pressure and desperately self-destructed.

Translation: "Just a second ago, the Radiation Overlord with the weakest physical strength could not withstand this pressure and had no choice but to desperately self-destruct."

Even if none wished to sacrifice themselves, at the point of certain death they could only pour their final strength into smashing that damned door!

Translation: "Even if none of them were willing to sacrifice themselves, when faced with certain death they could only expend their last ounce of strength to smash this damned door!"

No longer thinking of past enmity, everyone realized that if they didn't rush in, they'd all die here.

Translation: "They no longer cared that they had been enemies before; at this moment everyone knew that if they didn't rush in, they would all die here!"

"If you can't hold on, self-destruct!!"

Translation: "\"If you can't hold out, self-destruct!! \""

"Even in death, it must count for something!"

Translation: "\"Even if it's death! It must have value! \""

"I, the Black Emperor, vow that whoever falls, I will safeguard the civilization they leave behind!"

Translation: "\"I, Hei Di, hereby promise that no matter who dies, I will surely take care of the civilization they left behind! \""

Amid the desperate, bloody atmosphere, the Black Emperor bellowed at everyone.

Translation: "In the atmosphere of desperate horror, Hei Di roared angrily at everyone."

It was like he was injecting everyone with a final dose of courage as he gave his pledge.

Translation: "As if giving everyone a final shot of adrenaline, he gave the promise!"

His physical strength is second only to the Chimera King's.

Translation: "His physical strength was second only to that of the Chimera Emperor."

Without a doubt, the only ones who could last to the end among the remaining radiation wielders are him, the Chimera King, and the Sovereign Ruler.

Translation: "If we were to say who among the remaining Star-Destroyers could endure to the end, there is no doubt it would be him, the Chimera Emperor, and the Overlord!"

They no longer reserved any strength or rule reserves.

Translation: "He no longer retained any strength or rule reserves."

The Black Emperor instantly surged into the air, hovering above all the radiation wielders.

Translation: "Hei Di instantly shot up into midair, blocking above all the Star-Destroyers."

The fully unleashed black-light domain, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, strained to hold back the relentless downward pressure of the rules turbulence.

Translation: "The black light domain he unleashed with all his might, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, desperately held up the incessantly downward-pressing rule turbulence."

Under the relentless rule impacts, the Black Emperor's body started to fracture, as if he couldn't endure much longer.

Translation: "Under the endless barrage of rule impacts, Hei Di's body cracked all over, as if he could not hold on much longer."

Even so, the fire of his unwilling rage in his eyes blazed ever brighter!

Translation: "Nevertheless, the unwilling fury in his eyes burned ever more fiercely!"

Within just a few seconds, the super-celestial body that had fallen after the lock broke began to reveal its horror.

Translation: "As time passed, in just a few seconds, the super celestial body that had fallen after the lock was broken began to show its terror."

Not only did the pressure surge, but their rules were also disrupted.

Translation: "Not only did the pressure surge, but their rules were also interfered with."

As their fighting strength faded, the stone door turned into a wall of sighs in everyone's eyes.

Translation: "Thus, as their combat strength waned, this stone door seemed to everyone to become nothing less than a wall of sighs!"

So...

Translation: "Then..."

Only self-destruct! Perhaps only that instantaneous burst of maximum power could give them a chance to charge in before disaster strikes!

Translation: "Only self-destruction! Perhaps only that instantaneous burst of the strongest attack could offer hope to charge in before disaster strikes!"

"Black Emperor! This is what you said!"

Translation: "\"Hei Di! This is what you said! \""

If you can rush in and kill Lin An! The reward you obtain must be shared with some of my clansmen!!

Otherwise I'll die! I won't let you off!!

Bones burst with a cracking sound.

Even the skull began to deform and flatten; the second Star-Destroying-level powerhouse unable to bear the disaster pressure also couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, roaring with deathly fury at Hei Di.

He was an earth-element Star-Destroyer, adept at merging himself into the battlefield; he had thought that in this special stellar battlefield he could thrive like a fish in water and become the final victor.

But at this moment, even the earth was collapsing in the disaster, and his greatest Rule Ability was utterly useless!

Realizing he had no hope of survival, the earth controller could only choose to self-destruct to blast open the door, contributing his last strength!

"Good! I promise you!"

"After the mission ends, I, Hei Di, will definitely visit your star system! The reward for killing Lin An, I will definitely not keep it all for myself!"

"Boom—crack!!"

Amid the Black Lock's wailing as the heavens collapsed with a tremendous roar, Hei Di's voice was so tiny.

But at this moment, it gave the earth controller a last glimmer of hope.

Only seen, after Hei Di finished his promise, the earth overlord, whose combat prowess was also notable among Star-Destroyers, instantly tossed a crystal to Hei Di, then the next second, without hesitation, charged toward the stone gate to self-destruct.

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a mass of Rule explosion so dense it resembled a black hole, under the extreme detonation of earth-element Rule, the stone gate already riddled with cracks split open another long fissure.

Looking closely, one could even see a faint light seeping out from the crack!

This scene fell into the eyes of Hei Di and the others, instantly making their hearts excited with great joy.

"Hurry, break it!! Continue!! Continue attacking!!"

"Charge in! Kill that monster!! We can all survive!!"

Morale surged.

Even though their combat power kept declining, in Hei Di's near-full-power real-time calculation, at most three more self-destructs would surely break the folding fan gate.

By then, victory would still belong to him!!

At the same time, inside the exchange point, the Xu Kong Chong Mu, who originally held the winning ticket, was now filled with panic, her eyes fixed tightly on the opening fissure.

That panic and shock in her heart made her instantly flustered.

"Lin An! The door is about to break!"
