Chapter 651 382: Destroying the Insects with a Single Hand

"This is bad! These insects are evolving!"

Everyone in the space base was shocked by the sight.

They clearly remembered that the insects didn't have this liquid coating during their last attack.

But this time, they did.

And its effects were astonishing.

The substance wasn't a pure liquid, but something akin to a non-Newtonian fluid. The moment it was struck, it became incredibly hard.

Its regenerative abilities were also shocking.

With this liquid film covering them, as long as their life force wasn't completely destroyed, the insects were virtually indestructible.

"Isolate the sectors! Execute precision strikes!"

The captain immediately ordered the Mecha corps to deploy and quickly cull the remaining insects before they could recover their combat strength.

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, the main force poured out, swarming toward the insects.

Whenever a Giant Spirit Mecha took too much damage and self-destructed, a large number of Mecha Warriors would follow up to clear away the insect corpses.

"The casualties are too high! We have a limited number of Giant Spirit Mecha, and we can no longer hold back the giant insects' assault."

Unfortunately, after holding on for only a short while, the entire defensive line collapsed.

The enemy's insects were endless, while the humans' supply of Giant Spirit Mecha was finite.

"What's going on with the Ancestral Star's defense system? Hurry up and activate it!"

They had been fighting in space for so long, yet there was no response from the planet's joint combat network.

This caused everyone's faces to pale in horror.

"We have a situation! The Ancestral Star is under attack! The Insect Race has landed on the planet."

"What?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the crew grew dim. They had thought that with reinforcements from the Ancestral Star's main forces, they would eventually achieve victory if they just held on.

But now, insects had even appeared at their main base.

This meant the enemy's numbers far exceeded their imagination. One could even say their strength was completely overwhelming.

Just then, a transmission echoed throughout the entire fleet.

"The Ancestral Star requests Mr. Zhao's intervention!"

As this message spread, every member of the fleet was stunned.

"Who is Mr. Zhao?"

"What do they mean, 'Mr. Zhao's intervention'?"

At that moment, Ye Xun had already found Zhao Rui and relayed the request from the Ancestral Star's Elder Council.

'I still underestimated the insects' strength.'

Zhao Rui shook his head. He had originally thought that with the Ancestral Star's current level of technology, dealing with the Insect Race should have been more than enough.

He never expected this Insect Race to be so formidable.

Their strength wasn't just in their numbers or power, but in their ability to evolve.

'Insects that can evolve?'

'What a heaven-defying species.'

Zhao Rui knew he had to act.

Without another word, he took a single step, passing straight through the thick barrier of the Space City and appearing in the vacuum of space.

"How did he do that?"

"This..."

Everyone was dumbstruck, as if they were witnessing a myth.

"Was that the Wall-Penetrating Skill?"

Before they could ponder it further, Zhao Rui flew alone toward the insect horde in space.

"Freeze!"

An indescribable ripple of Divine Soul pulsed outward, and every insect instantly froze rigid.

Having lost their power of flight, they immediately began to fall into the deep, cold expanse of space.

With a great wave of his hand, Zhao Rui unleashed an invisible surge of Divine Power, sending all the paralyzed insects directly into a brilliant nearby star.

The blazing heat instantly vaporized all the insects, breaking them down to their atomic components.

"ROAR!"

Sensing the threat from Zhao Rui, the remaining insects began to flee back through the spatial rift.

But how could Zhao Rui let them escape? With another great wave of his hand, he sealed the spatial rift shut.

In an instant, the entire Insect Race offensive was left in shambles.
