Chapter 3287: Interception

It was here!
In the distance, a massive dark-red planet came hurtling toward them at incredible speed, so fast it was shocking!
"Whoosh!!"
As the Insect Planet entered the high-density space, it was as if it had fallen into a swamp, its speed greatly reduced.
Erwin’s voice came clearly through the alliance channel into everyone’s ears.
"Confirm target—the Insect Planet. Launch the attack!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
In an instant, blinding beams of light shot out from the spawns’ fleet, forming a dense net of firepower that poured down toward the blood-red Insect Planet, which was trapped in the swamp-like space.
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!"
The long-range beam weapons struck the Insect Planet, exploding like brilliant fireworks, releasing deafening blasts.
The spawns’ operators stared fixedly at the images displayed on the monitoring screens, their expressions tense with panic.
"Sir, the Seed of Ouroboros concentration has not effectively decreased! From the video analysis, the battleships’ long-range main cannons are all being blocked by a cloud-like barrier on the planet’s surface. The main parasite of the planet has not taken any substantial damage."
"Our weapon strength may not be enough."
Commander Erwin’s face darkened as he fixed his eyes on the monitoring screen. He spoke each word firmly, "Increase firepower output. Authorization granted for annihilation-class weapons. Destroy it."
"Yes, sir!"
"Annihilation-class weapon authorization complete. Energy accumulation in progress. Target positioning underway. Estimated first strike in 3 minutes. Countdown beginning..."
The spawns’ operator had just reported halfway when his expression suddenly changed.
"Not good! The Seed of Ouroboros ripple is showing abnormal reactions!"
Inside the flagship, everyone immediately lifted their heads to look at the Insect Planet through the glass window.
Suddenly, a mutation occurred!
Countless tiny red spores suddenly spewed out from the surface of the Insect Planet, instantly spreading to cover vast stretches of the starry sea. The spores surged forward like a torrential downpour, engulfing the spawns’ fleet!
"Alert! Detecting a large number of unknown creatures approaching!"
When Erwin saw this, his face drastically changed. He shouted sharply, "It’s the Seed of Ouroboros creature spores! Highly infectious! Commence fire suppression immediately! Intercept them!"
"Activate shields! Full fleet evasive maneuvers!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"
All three hundred ships opened fire with their main and secondary weapons, unleashing dense beams of light toward the oncoming spore clouds.
However, the spore clouds were too dense. Most of the beam weapons only pierced through them, dealing extremely limited damage.
This could not continue!
Commander Erwin furrowed his brows deeply and issued orders in an unflustered tone, "Flagship, activate the concentrated energy burners. Burn them away!"
"Yes!!"
The three massive spawn flagships immediately switched weapons. Over a dozen high-concentration energy cannons powered up and fired directly at the spore clouds spread across the starry sea.
The shells sank deep into the dense layers of spores.
"Detonate!"
Erwin gave the command.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!!"
In an instant, the energy cannons exploded in the galaxy, igniting a massive firestorm that engulfed large swaths of the Seed of Ouroboros spore swarms.
The explosions of more than a dozen energy cannons unleashed spatial shockwaves that rippled outward, violently shaking dozens of ships in the fleet’s forward line.
Was it successful?
The Spawn Alliance fleet all turned to look toward the raging fire.
What?
Erwin’s pupils flashed with astonishment.
Ineffective!
Even before the flames had fully dissipated, the red Seed of Ouroboros spore creatures burst out of the burning inferno, continuing to drift rapidly toward the fleet!
Looking more closely, hidden among the spore creatures were also high-tier Seed of Ouroboros insect attendants!
It was the insect attendants who used barrier-type skills and their powerful bodies to shield the spore creatures from the concentrated energy cannon blasts!
D*mn it!
The commanders of the front-line ships in the alliance felt their hearts sink into despair.
There was no time left to escape!
The next moment, the spore clouds instantly covered more than half of the front fleet. Countless spores attached themselves to the energy defense barriers of the battleships.
"Ah! What the hell is this thing!"
The alliance ships struck by the spores of the Seed of Ouroboros immediately lost communications. With the naked eye, all they could see outside their ships was an endless mass of red spores, plunging them into chaos.
Shouts rang from the monitoring room, "The hull is being corroded! Shield energy levels are rapidly dropping!"
"Help! Something’s getting inside!"
Mixed in with the Seed of Ouroboros spores and insect attendants were enhanced Lickers!
Following Fang Heng’s instructions, the insect attendants of the Seed of Ouroboros remained only on the outside of the ships, blocking attacks and breaking through the defense barriers to aid the Lickers and spores in infiltrating the interiors.
The main attackers of the ships were the spore creatures and the Licker swarms!
The outer defensive barriers of the battleships shattered one after another. Under the spores’ corrosion, holes began appearing on the hulls. Through these holes, countless Lickers and parasitic spores poured inside, beginning to infect the ships.
From the start of the interception until now, only three minutes had passed, yet the entire front line of the Spawn Alliance fleet had already fallen into utter chaos.
And the chaos was spreading rapidly toward the rear of the fleet!
"Bang!! Bang bang bang!!!!"
With booming blasts, the spawn ships behind saw massive tentacles of the Seed of Ouroboros pierce outward from the interiors of the infected ships!
Then, from inside the infected vessels, swarms of red spores erupted in masses.
The entire ship looked as if they themselves had been infected by the Seed of Ouroboros!
D*mn it! What the hell was going on!
The rear fleet of the alliance, seeing the miserable state of their comrades’ ships, was filled with dread.
Fang Heng floated high above the Insect Planet, watching coldly as the spawns’ fleet gradually sank into chaos.
Zane’s figure condensed out of the shadows, appearing beside Fang Heng. He examined the fleet and laughed, "Hehe, Fang, little brother, I’d say these spawns are getting weaker and weaker. With just this ability, they think they can stop us?"
"The spawns’ frontline scout force, no doubt. Likely just probing our strength. But you’re not wrong—if this is all they’ve got, they’re underestimating us too much."
Fang Heng spoke calmly, unconcerned. He lightly raised his right hand, his right pupil’s Eye of God spinning rapidly, as his mental strength surged outward once more.
"Then wipe them all out. Leave no one behind!"
As soon as his words fell, more parasitic spores spewed out from the planet’s surface, surging to engulf the entire spawns’ fleet!
"These old spawns finally get their payback?" Zane, who had been sealed and exploited by the spawns for hundreds of thousands of years, licked his lips with excitement, new and old grudges boiling together. "Fang, little brother, go ahead and strike. Leave the rest to me. Not a single one of them will escape!"
As he spoke, Zane’s figure dissolved again into swirling shadows, quickly melting into the surrounding space.
The dark mist spread rapidly, enveloping the entire fleet.
The invisible dark mist penetrated straight through the ships’ defensive barriers, seeping into one vessel after another.
