Ten minutes later.
The planet’s surface, which had been trembling violently, gradually calmed down.
"Bang!! Bang bang bang!!!!"
Suddenly, enormous pale-purple Ouroboros tentacles, each with a diameter of a full kilometer, broke through from deep underground and shot straight into the thick clouds above!
If viewed from the galaxy, the massive planet was now completely parasitized by the mutant worms. From its surface, huge worm tentacles protruded outward, stretching far into space.
The tentacles, fused with spatial strength, were pushing the entire planet away from its original gravitational orbit in a bizarre ritual-like manner, sending it toward the vast galaxy.
"D*mn, this fellow really played it this big..."
Zane stood on the slowly accelerating planet, glancing at Fang Heng in the sky and muttering under his breath.
The insect attendants had all descended from the sky as well, their faces unable to conceal their excitement.
Parasitism was successful! The entire massive planet was now under the control of the Beetle King!
If earlier they had still doubted Fang Heng’s strength, now that he had displayed the ability to parasitize an entire large planet, all their doubts were completely dispelled.
This was a level even the former Beetle King Tantalus had never reached!
The excitement in the insect attendants’ eyes gradually turned into bloodlust and madness.
The true Beetle King had been fully awakened, and his strength was even greater than Tantalus at his peak!
That meant next...
Enemies would pay for their grudges, and debts would be repaid!
The spawns!
They were in for serious misfortune!
The dense spore clouds covering the canopy did not dissipate but instead formed a thick defensive spatial barrier. It not only concealed the aura of the Seed of Ouroboros but also resisted the spatial fluctuations encountered by the planet as it traveled at high speed, as well as collisions with asteroids.
Fang Heng felt the spiritual link established with the planet. He narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger into the distance. "Target: planet UU-03. Attack."
"Yes!"
Under the propulsion of the spatial tentacles, the parasitized planet began to accelerate, flying toward the star domain where the spawns’ headquarters were located.
Estimated journey: 3 days.
...
Two days later.
At a detection point on the periphery of the star domain established by the spawns.
"Report, Sir! We detected abnormal energy ripples belonging to the Seed of Ouroboros!"
"Ouroboros? What anomaly?"
The staff member frowned, sensing the strangeness, "We detected a large planet rapidly approaching our star domain. The planet carries an extremely high concentration of the Seed of Ouroboros pollution index. Visual data is being transmitted right now."
The patriarch officer, an alien elder hired by the spawns, furrowed his brows, "A planet? What nonsense are you spouting? How could a planet move?"
The staff member fell silent, staring at the transmitted data. After rubbing his eyes and confirming he had not misread, he said, "Sir, you had better see for yourself..."
The patriarch officer stepped forward. When he saw the images on the monitoring screen, he froze completely.
What was this?
On the surveillance monitors, a blood-red planet was rushing toward the star domain at an unbelievable speed. Its surface was covered with countless parasitic mutant worms and blood vessels, while massive tentacles spread from the planet’s surface into outer space. The entire planet looked like a sliding creature swimming rapidly through the galaxy.
The Seed of Ouroboros!?
The patriarch officer’s heart jumped, a cold sweat breaking down his back.
"Immediately report to the spawns! And start Grade 1 combat readiness right away! Monitor that planet around the clock! I want every bit of information on it!"
"Report!"
"Speak!"
"The information has already been sent to the spawns’ headquarters. They confirmed the target is a giant-sized planet infected by the Seed of Ouroboros. The spawns ordered our outpost to maintain 24-hour monitoring. They have already issued an allied mission to attack the planet and will establish an interception soon. We are to provide full cooperation."
A transformed insect planet?
"Gulp..."
The patriarch officer stared at the living-like planet, swallowing nervously.
...
Six hours later.
Galaxy.
Following a violent spatial fluctuation, nearly 350 ships—including twelve giant-sized main battleships of the species—appeared in the path of the infected insect planet.
"Report, Captain. We have reached the designated position. The insect planet is estimated to arrive in 5 minutes!"
Erwin, the squad’s commander in charge of this interception mission, stood in the command room. Staring at the displayed monitoring data, he could not help but feel astonished.
Since the death of Beetle King Tantalus, his insect attendant legions had fallen apart and completely withdrawn from the star domain of the Seven Realms Martial Capital, leaving only a few scattered insect attendants appearing occasionally.
The spawns had conducted follow-up hunts against the Seed of Ouroboros. After eliminating part of the insect attendants, they ceased operations.
Years of entanglement with the Seed of Ouroboros had made the spawns realize it was impossible to completely wipe out the mutant worms in a short time.
The spawns had indeed detected Ouroboros swarms gathering somewhere outside the Seven Realms Martial Capital’s territory, but they had no strength to chase that far.
It was simply too far away.
If they expended great effort only for the insect attendants to disperse and vanish again, it would all be wasted.
Better to use their energy to deal with the troublesome Descender from the God Clan.
For over three months, everything had remained calm. The spawns were busy with Xius’s inspections, so they had relaxed their monitoring of swarms in outer star domains.
Never had they expected the swarm to suddenly go mad, parasitize an entire planet, and invade the Seven Realms Martial Capital again!
And judging by its path, it was heading straight for the spawns’ headquarters!
Time was tight. The spawns had immediately sent a warning to the Seven Realms Martial Capital to convene an emergency meeting, while at the same time issuing an internal allied assembly order to form an interception fleet and confront the insect planet. The first battlefield would be positioned in outer space.
The enemy’s strength was unknown.
Erwin’s mission from the spawns’ headquarters was to intercept the insect planet, at the very least delaying its advance.
"Report, Commander, we have detected the insect planet approaching at high speed!"
"Deploy the space barrier!"
"Understood!"
Over 300 ships formed multiple lines across the galaxy, activating high-frequency space disruptors toward the nearby starfield.
At once, waves of dark ripples appeared in the region ahead.
The spatial density instantly increased hundreds of times!
In such a dense space, all ships and creatures passing through would be affected, their speed drastically reduced.
Commander Erwin of the spawns lifted his head, gazing into the distant galaxy beyond the glass.
