Chapter 148: Despicable!? No, This Is War

Facing the siege of numerous strong ones from the Dark World and the Green Blade Bug Race, this creature from the variant civilization grew increasingly weak and realized that its chance to escape was becoming ever more slim.

The creature from the variant civilization finally had its final ferocity awakened.

Despite its heavily wounded, weakened body, black liquid streamed rapidly, suddenly turning into an octopus‑like creature with sharp spiked tentacles, which burst out of the Space Rift and attacked Ma'erjin, who was spewing raging Dragon Flame.

Ma'erjin, as a Dragon Vein sorcerer, not only possesses impressive ranged magical attack ability, but her massive size also grants her unparalleled melee and defensive power.

Because of this, the skillful and daring Ma'erjin was the most active strong one present, and her massive size also made her the easiest target in the eyes of the variant civilization creature.

Black tentacles surged densely, their sharp spines bearing great kinetic energy, stabbing at Ma'erjin's huge, conspicuous black dragon body.

At the same time, the dense tentacles continuously coiled around the dragon body, attempting to parasitize Ma'erjin in search of a sliver of survival.

The variant civilization is a special civilization that has developed a parasitic system.

Its own strength is mainly reflected in parasitism; only the stronger the potential of the parasitic organisms, the higher their ceiling.

Meanwhile, through generations of breeding, completing genetic fusion and plunder of parasitic bodies, their main population also gains stronger talents and abilities, enabling them to parasitize more powerful species and achieve their civilization's expansion and evolution.

Ma'erjin's massive size, and being a dragon‑type creature belonging to the top bloodline among the myriad star‑realm races, naturally made her the variant creature's first choice.

Conversely, if the host is weak, the variant civilization creature's strength is limited; as the saying goes, there is a positive and a negative, nothing is perfect.

Even though the variant civilization creature appears to possess a powerful, bizarre parasitic ability and even strong immunity to physical attacks.

Moreover, once it is covered up close, the body gradually gets eroded and controlled by the opponent, becoming its puppet.

This makes the variant civilization a synonym for evil terror across surrounding star realms and numerous planes.

However, likewise, a variant creature in an un‑parasitized state has very obvious weaknesses.

At the moment the variant creature's blade pierced Ma'erjin's body, a massive, scorching flame accompanied by a powerful soul shock surged toward the creature that was covering her body.

A painful wail instantly rose from the already grievously wounded variant creature's mouth.

Struck by the dual flame and soul attack, the variant creature instantly abandoned its plan to parasitize Ma'erjin and turned to flee.

In its current state, it is no longer possible for it to parasitize a Level Three lifeform.

The only way to survive now is to randomly find a lower‑level lifeform to parasitize and then lie low.

With a cruel glance, it briefly stared at the few people, then the variant creature split into countless small offshoots, ready to scatter in all directions.

Although this greatly reduces its strength, as long as even one escapes, there will always be a chance to return.

Yet a sudden pulling force surged from all the offshoots; before it could react, its body abruptly re‑coalesced and was firmly grasped by a powerful hand.

"How is this possible! Why can you control my body!" the variant creature exclaimed, its eyes wide with horror.

The one who seized it was undoubtedly Fulade.

At this moment Fulade's gaze looked slightly odd, his face curious as he examined the variant creature in his hand, which kept struggling and had shrunk considerably.

It had merely instinctively activated its blood‑line talent, blood domination, yet unexpectedly it easily mastered the creature's body.

This discovery could not help but astonish Fulade immensely! Although the opponent was weakened and seemed to have split its power into countless offshoots.

Yet he still could not rule out the fact that the opponent was being restrained by his own ability! His eyes flickered, thoughts swirling.

A moment later, looking at the variant creature that kept changing form to launch fierce attacks at him, even turning into black fluid attempting to control his arm for parasitism.

Fulade's arm quivered; successive powerful energy blasts struck, instantly softening the variant creature in his hand and stripping it of resistance.

Just as everyone was astonished by how easily Fulade subdued the variant creature,

Fulade swiftly sealed the now defenseless variant civilization creature within his Law Arm Ring.

and launched a sudden assault on the defenseless female Bug King Leisi nearby.

At the moment Fulade acted, the others who had already silently taken positions seemed to receive some signal, and almost simultaneously, without order, they all launched attacks on the two Bug Kings that had just been fighting side by side.

Taken by surprise, the two Bug Kings were instantly heavily wounded; by the time Travis and Leisi, the two Bug Kings, recovered, it was already too late. "You are despicable!" Bug King Travis roared.

Facing the shameless ambush from the Dark World, Travis seemed somewhat impotently furious.

He had originally thought to use this incident to gain a chance to rest and recuperate in this world, even if it meant paying a price.

But what he never expected was that the opponent, having just finished cooperating with the Bug Race, immediately launched an attack without hesitation, clearly having long plotted this.

He did not want to admit that his own strategic mistake caused the current situation, and could only shift the blame onto the enemy.

Despicable? No.

Plane wars have always been the result of interests and calculations.

The only thing to blame is the Bug Kings' naivety, not their despicability.

After all, as plane invaders, both sides are already enemies; there is no room for talk of treacherous betrayal.

Facing Fulade and the others' assault, Bug King Leisi was the first to lose resistance, captured by Fulade and taken into his possession.

Bug King Travis, seeing this, realized there was no chance of recovery and turned to flee.

As six‑winged golden patterns behind him emitted dazzling light, Bug King Travis suddenly surged in speed.

After barely surviving a strike from northern‑land female leader Vivian, he dared not linger and immediately fled toward the southern interior of the Dark World.

Travis could feel a massive gathering of Dark Plane creature essences there; it seemed that place was the interior of this Micro Plane.

A fierce glint flashed across his eyes.

"You think you've got me cornered like this.

Since you don't want me to have it easy, then you don't think you'll have it easy either!!"

With a shrill insect chirp, the forest below erupted in a wave of howls, responding in turn.

In the forest, tens of thousands of green bugs that had been entangled with the Dark Plane legion abandoned their opponents, answered Bug King Travis's call, and surged toward the southern interior of the Dark Plane.

Thick and countless, a massive tide.

Their unabashed intent was self‑evident.

"Bad, we must stop them immediately, otherwise letting this bug tide flood the plane's interior would cause unimaginable destruction."

Watching the massive green bug tide rise from the Canyon Forest, soaring densely and surging, the northern‑land Witch leader Vivian, who had let Bug King Travis escape, showed a slight change of expression, a hint of guilt,

At the same time, the Canyon Forest.

Watching the many emerald blade insects, even though gravely wounded and near death, still trying to leave the battlefield, the lower‑tier legions of the Dark World did not understand the reason, but it did not stop them from seizing the opportunity to launch an attack and expand their gains.

Crack— crack!

As a blade of piercing cold ice, radiating a powerful elemental surge, rose from the ground, it completely enveloped the insects that turned to flee.

Countless ice spire tips, as if free of cost, extended from the icy dome, densely shooting toward the massive swarm of insects trapped within.

The powerful and dense onslaught turned into a closed, blood‑stained slaughterhouse, and within moments it annihilated the insect swarm completely, leaving no resistance.

"Great, so impressive!" Bai Xue and the others exclaimed in amazement.

As the ice receded, the ground, originally brown soil, was corroded by a flood of green blood.

The densely packed insect corpses, covered by countless ice spikes, formed a thick ice jungle, a scene like an icy hell appearing before everyone.

Freya, breathing a slightly heavy sigh, noted that even at her second‑tier Witch level, such a large‑scale attack was hard to execute consecutively.

"What exactly happened to these insects…" Freya looked up at the sky, her eyes showing slight puzzlement.

After Freya's warning, Bai Xue, Ge Lei Te, Han Sai Er and the others now clearly noticed the abnormality of the situation! (End of chapter)
