Chapter 196 Get Closer! Everything Turns Around!
That's right!
Next, their target is the void insect emperor ship!
As long as all the Void Insect Emperors within the void insect emperor ship are killed, the Swarm will lose control.
Without the Void Insect Emperors, the Void Zerg would not be able to form any effective fighting force in a short period.
And at that time, it would be their time to counterattack!
Yu Tiancang was stunned when he heard Lu Jin's plan, but then he immediately reacted.
He was gradually getting used to Lu Jin's crazy ideas!
He was no longer the easily startled Yu Tiancang he once was, because he knew that every one of Lu Jin's actions, though seemingly crazy, was actually well-calculated.
"Received!"
Initiating space warp!
The ship twisted in place for a moment, then disappeared.
This sudden change caught Polaris, who had been observing from the opposite side, somewhat off guard.
Disappeared?
But before Polaris could react, Lu Jin's ship reappeared.
However, this time, the ship had already arrived near the void insect emperor ship.
The Swarm responsible for guarding the void insect emperor ship immediately went mad when they saw the suddenly appearing ship.
The Void Insect Emperors also sensed that something was wrong.
But at this moment, even if they swarmed forward, they couldn't stop Lu Jin and the others.
Spatial Flash!
This time, the ship appeared directly in front of the void insect emperor ship.
Looking at the colossal object that stood like a high wall in the Star Sea, Yu Tiancang directly pushed the engine control lever.
Full speed ahead!
Boom!
The ship directly plunged into the interior of the void insect emperor ship!
By the time the void insect emperor ship wanted to close the gap, it was already too late!
At this moment, the prometheus was like a sharp sword, directly piercing into the interior of the void insect emperor ship.
And at this moment, Lu Jin stood up from his seat.
At the same time, Yinyue also stood up.
Next, they would make good use of their own advantages.
That was boarding combat!
The hatch opened!
What greeted their eyes was a wall of flesh made of biomass.
On the wall of flesh, a large number of Void Swarm were clinging, their eerie green eyes having long been waiting.
But Yinyue stepped forward, and the moment she drew her blade...
The terrifying psionic blade, like a hurricane, shredded all the Swarm around the ship.
After clearing the area, Lu Jin stepped onto the interior of the void insect emperor ship.
Feeling the familiar sensation under his feet, Lu Jin took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't expect that after all this, he would return here.
In his previous life, he had also boarded the interior of the void insect emperor ship.
But that time, for Lu Jin, it was simply a disaster!
Now, the situation was completely different!
Apocalypse Creature emerged from the hatch, their metallic bodies creating a space for Lu Jin.
Immediately after, the Sleeper Legion appeared on his left.
Fully armed Star Sea Elves troops stood on his right.
Under such armed conditions, Lu Jin's gaze became exceptionally sharp.
He took a forceful step forward!
Sharp chirping sounds came from deep within the passage.
In the darkness, countless eerie green eyes gradually emerged!
And Lu Jin, facing the incoming Swarm, merely waved his hand.
Fire!
For a time, sparks flew everywhere!
The Apocalypse Creature directly deployed their internal heavy firepower, attacking the Swarm in front of them.
And Lu Jin steadily advanced, stepping on the remains of a Void Zerg!
With a crunch, the remains were crushed by the Sleeper behind him.
But no one paid attention; they followed behind Lu Jin, pushing through the passage with orderly firepower.
With memories of his previous life, Lu Jin's mind was exceptionally clear at this moment.
With every step he took, the Void Insect Emperors within the void insect emperor ship grew more alarmed.
Because they suddenly realized that Lu Jin was like a self-navigating robot.
No matter how complex the passages were!
No matter how many Swarm blocked the way ahead!
Every step he took brought him closer to the core of the void insect emperor ship, which was the area where the Void Insect Emperors resided.
"That human, he's still getting closer!"
"Damn it! Why does he know our location?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
"Keep mobilizing the Swarm, we absolutely cannot let them get close here!"
"Easier said than done; the passage is only so wide, no matter how many Swarm we have, we can't all squeeze in at once!"
Unexpectedly, the void insect emperor ship that helped them hide had now become their prison.
For a time, many Void Insect Emperors began to get nervous.
And just then, in the chamber where the Void Insect Emperors were, a three-meter-tall egg began to shake.
Seeing this shaking egg, these Void Insect Emperors grasped at a lifeline!
"A King is about to be born!"
"Excellent! The will of the Star Sea is on our side!"
"Quickly transfer nutrients into the egg; as long as the King can successfully hatch, we still have a chance!"
"Send out a guard detachment to intercept; we must buy time for the King's birth!"
And Lu Jin, who was advancing, also noticed something was wrong.
These charging Swarm began to slacken.
Was it because of fear?
What a joke!
The Void Swarm were just beasts; the only ones who could control their minds were the Void Insect Emperors.
If these Swarm's attacks became lax, there was only one possibility.
That was that the Void Insect Emperor had dispatched a sufficiently powerful Swarm to come!
Sure enough, as expected, when the Swarm dispersed, a two-meter-tall Void Blade Insect covered in various carapaces appeared in everyone's sight.
The Void Blade Insect had four arms, each holding a serrated long blade.
The moment these Blade Worms appeared, the surrounding Swarm began to retreat.
They very sensibly handed over the battlefield to the strong!
And the Void Blade Insects were indeed the elite of the Swarm; one of the Blade Worms spread its wings on its back.
The next second, it left an afterimage in place.
When it reappeared, it was already in front of an Apocalypse Creature!
The serrated blade in its hand directly slashed onto the Apocalypse Creature's body.
In an instant, several cracks appeared on the Apocalypse Creature's body, and through the cracks, the internal wiring could vaguely be seen.
And the Apocalypse Creature, sensing the threat, immediately used the weapon in its hand to attack the Blade Worm.
But the Blade Worm was no pushover; it directly raised its arm.
The arm was covered in biological carapace, possessing extremely strong defensive power.
With just one encounter, it directly blocked all of the Apocalypse Creature's attacks!
Seeing this, the Void Blade Insects couldn't help but sneer.
As guards of the Void Insect Emperor, they were different from the lowest-level Swarm.
They had higher intelligence, so when facing the Apocalypse Creature, they confidently said:
"Inferior beings, nothing more than this."
"I thought you had some great abilities."
"But now it seems, you can only pose a threat to those low-level Swarm."
+++
Chapter 197 The Birth of the Insect King! Evolution and Evolution Again!
One of the Void Blade Insects stepped forward, setting its sights on Lu Jin.
It could tell that Lu Jin was the true leader of the enemy.
As long as the enemy's leader was killed, these enemies would collapse without a fight!
The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Just as the Void Blade Insect was about to advance, it suddenly froze in place.
It wasn't that it had discovered anything unusual, but rather that it suddenly felt as if it was bound by an invisible force.
Behind Lu Jin, a Star Sea Elf slowly emerged.
She gripped the void with both hands, her powerful psionic energy making even the opposing Blade Worms feel a sense of threat.
The next second, the Star Sea Elf clenched her fists.
The Void Blade Insect, bound by psionic power, was directly suspended in the air.
Powerful psionic energy continuously squeezed its body.
Crack... Its biomass carapace, tougher than alloy, began to twist.
With a soft sound, a crack appeared in the carapace, and blood directly seeped out from the crack!
Seeing this, the other Void Blade Insects reacted swiftly, their serrated blades striking directly at the Star Sea Elf.
But at this moment, more and more Star Sea Elves stepped forward.
Psionic power erupted!
Boom!
Fierce psionic energy directly filled the entire passage!
All the Void Blade Insects froze in place, while the Star Sea Elves clenched their hands!
Bang!
The bodies of the powerful Void Blade Insects were directly twisted and crushed by the psionic energy.
In the face of absolute psionic power, the Void Blade Insect's carapace was as fragile as paper!
As the Star Sea Elves stepped forward again, a hint of fear clearly flashed in the eyes of the remaining Void Blade Insects.
Even the Swarm in the passage sensed the cruelty of their opponents.
A primal fear, born of biological instinct, arose from the depths of their hearts!
But the next second, the Void Insect Emperor's voice echoed in their minds.
"Continue the attack!"
The moment the voice sounded, all the Swarm seemed brainwashed, and the fear in their eyes dissipated once more.
There was no longer any fear in the eyes of the Void Blade Insects.
The tide-like Swarm attacked again.
With a wave of Lu Jin's hand, the Star Sea Elves retreated, and the Apocalypse Creatures stepped forward again, using their powerful firepower to eliminate the Swarm.
Lu Jin was not surprised by this outcome.
No matter how many insects he killed, as long as the Void Insect Emperor still existed, these insects would not feel fear.
This was also why Lu Jin wanted to kill the Void Insect Emperor first.
Lu Jin took a step forward, continuing to advance the front line.
Meanwhile, the Void Insect Emperors were extremely anxious!
"Damn it! Even the Blade Worms can't stop this human's advance!"
"When did such a monster appear among humans!"
"Just a little more, the King is about to be born!"
"The Swarm must, at all costs, delay until the King's birth!"
The Void Insect Emperors looked at the stirring insect egg.
As long as the Void Insect King could be born, they would still have a chance to turn the tide!
As Lu Jin advanced through the passage, he saw more and more Swarm and couldn't help but sneer.
"It seems my direction is correct."
What was the point of the Void Insect Emperors mobilizing more insects?
Under Lu Jin's forces, no matter how numerous the Swarm, they could not stop his advance.
After eliminating a wave of Swarm, Lu Jin finally stopped his progress.
Because he had reached his destination!
A huge lake, filled with a large number of insect eggs and nutrient solution.
Directly above the nutrient solution lake, the core of the entire void insect emperor ship, all the Void Insect Emperors were hanging from the ceiling!
Their eerie green eyes, like malevolent spirits, stared fixedly at Lu Jin!
Seeing this, Lu Jin couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth!
"Human, you are too late!"
"My King has already been born!"
King?
At this moment, Lu Jin finally noticed a humanoid creature in the very center of the nutrient solution lake.
It was constantly devouring the surrounding insect eggs.
With the disappearance of each insect egg, the creature's size began to expand.
The creature seemed to sense Lu Jin's gaze, suddenly turned around, and revealed its monstrous, terrifying face!
Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Void Insect King that had just been born.
The most troublesome situation had arisen!
Void Insect King!
The strongest combat unit within the Void Swarm!
A single Void Insect Emperor can produce hundreds of millions of insect eggs in a day, but even among hundreds of millions of insect eggs, a King Insect Egg may not necessarily be born.
Once a Void Insect King is born, it will begin to evolve at an incredibly terrifying speed.
The Void Insect King in front of him still wore the outer layer of an insect egg, but its psionic level had already reached an astonishing Level 4 Psionicist... The next second, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
No!
It has already reached the strength of a Level 5 Psionicist!
The Void Insect King bared its fangs, its gaze falling upon Lu Jin.
As the King of the Void Swarm, it could keenly sense that the human in front of it possessed extremely powerful genes!
And powerful genes, to the King, were nothing short of a blatant temptation!
The King directly threw the insect egg in its hand to the ground, even though that insect egg was also a King Insect Egg.
But now, everything was less enticing than Lu Jin before it.
Bang!
Before anyone could react, the King arrived directly in front of Lu Jin with lightning speed.
An Apocalypse Creature next to it punched the King, but the King quickly dodged.
Immediately after, the King bared its fangs and directly bit off a piece of metal from the Apocalypse Creature!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the King ate the alloy from the Apocalypse Creature's body.
The next second, the King's carapace began to change, becoming as smooth as metal!
And when everyone saw this scene, their eyes were filled with horror.
"It merely ate the alloy and directly evolved an alloy carapace?"
"This evolution speed is simply too terrifying!"
"If this monster is given some time to develop, wouldn't it become an ultimate creature!"
"Seeing is believing, I finally understand why these insects are called Apocalypse Creatures!"
Lu Jin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the King before him.
The next second, Lu Jin decisively chose to act!
All the Star Sea Elves also understood, and powerful psionic energy was immediately released!
The King had just intended to move, but was directly bound in place by the psionic energy.
The Sleepers nearby immediately raised their weapons, and a dense barrage of firepower poured down on the King like a storm.
At this moment, a large number of Swarm attacked, directly surrounding the King.
Lu Jin looked up at the Void Insect Emperors above, and saw several Void Insect Emperors fall directly from the ceiling.
Boom!
As the massive bodies of the Void Insect Emperors fell, the entire nutrient solution lake churned with waves.
The waves enveloped the King, and the King began to frantically absorb the nutrient solution from the lake.
+++
Chapter 198 Speaking! Development starts with the brain!
The nutrient solution in the entire lake could provide the Void Insect Emperor with billions of insect eggs.
But now, in just a moment, the Void Insect King had absorbed half of the lake's nutrient solution.
Under the irrigation of the nutrient solution, the alloy carapace on the Void Insect King's body changed again.
Its carapace began to become increasingly sturdy, and two brand new arms started to grow from its back!
Immediately after, its arms began to evolve, transforming into serrated biological weapons!
Seeing this scene, the Sleepers all looked solemn.
It evolved again!
Less than five minutes had passed from when they discovered the Void Insect King until now.
But in just five short minutes, the Void Insect King had evolved twice.
In its first evolution, it gained an alloy carapace.
In its second evolution, it gained serrated biological weapons.
If they continued to let it evolve, there was no telling what terrifying existence it would become.
And just then, a hoarse and muddled voice entered everyone's ears.
"More... gene..."
What?
Who was speaking?
Until everyone looked at the Void Insect King in the nutrient solution.
The Void Insect King spoke!
It had already begun to evolve a language system!
This speed was too fast!
"Fire! Don't stop!"
Lu Jin, who had experienced countless battles in his previous life, knew better than anyone else.
For every second the Void Insect King survived, their chances of victory would decrease by one point!
They had to annihilate the Void Insect King here!
But the Void Insect Emperors also knew very well that the Void Insect King was their only hope for a comeback.
The Void Insect King had only just been born; it needed time to develop!
The Void Insect Emperors once again mobilized the Swarm, and countless Swarm members gathered around the Void Insect King.
The Void Insect King devoured its kind to obtain genes while continuing to evolve.
Watching the Void Insect King grow larger and larger, Lu Jin's brows furrowed even deeper.
Too tricky!
Under the protection of the Void Insect Emperors, it was difficult for them to inflict damage on the Void Insect King.
Although their numbers were not small, they were still too few compared to the Swarm!
Since that was the case, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly!
"Retreat!"
What?
Retreat?
No one expected Lu Jin to choose to retreat at this point.
The Sleeper Legion was even more bewildered!
The Void Insect King was still constantly evolving, yet Lu Jin chose to retreat?
Wasn't this giving the Void Insect King a chance to develop?
"Captain, do we really have to retreat?"
"That's right! Tactical retreat!"
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Lu Jin led the Star Sea Elves out of the incubation chamber first.
And when the Void Insect Emperors saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"They're retreating!"
"Before the King, even the strongest army has only one option: to retreat!"
"Recall all the Swarm and protect our King!"
The Swarm inside the void insect emperor ship all converged around the Void Insect King.
But at this moment, the Void Insect King began to become agitated.
"Genes..."
The next second, the Void Insect King actually directly broke away from the Swarm and approached the direction where Lu Jin was.
Seeing this scene, the Void Insect Emperors were all dumbfounded!
The Void Insect King ran away?
And Lu Jin, who was preparing to retreat, turned around and smiled confidently.
"A beast is a beast!"
The next second, Lu Jin turned and gathered Psionic energy into a long spear.
Whoosh!
The Psionic long spear directly pierced through the Void Insect King's body.
The Void Insect King stared blankly at its pierced body, momentarily unable to react.
And the nearby Sleepers immediately understood Lu Jin's intention!
Using himself as bait to make the Void Insect King voluntarily leave the Swarm!
Brilliant!
The Star Sea Elves quickly raised a Psionic Barrier, completely isolating the Void Insect King from the Swarm.
And the Void Insect Emperors, seeing the Void Insect King's pierced body, directly slammed into the Psionic Barrier!
More and more Swarm began to charge the Psionic Barrier!
It was clear they were very anxious!
After all, they had only given birth to one Void Insect King, and this Void Insect King was their reliance.
But unfortunately, this Void Insect King, perhaps because it had just been born, had not yet fully developed its brain.
All the Sleepers of the Sleeper Legion raised the firearms in their hands.
Fire!
This time, without the Swarm's obstruction, the fierce firepower directly engulfed the Void Insect King.
The Void Insect King was directly riddled with holes!
But even so, the Void Insect King's gaze still had not left Lu Jin.
Lu Jin looked at the dying Void Insect King in front of him, and with a raise of his hand, he mobilized Psionic energy.
"Next time you evolve, develop your brain first."
Bang!
The Void Insect King was directly crushed by the immense Psionic energy!
And seeing this scene, the Void Insect Emperors immediately began to panic.
Lu Jin's gaze fell on those Void Insect Emperors, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
"Next, reckoning time!"
Without the threat of the Void Insect King, the combat power of these Void Insect Emperors was not to be feared by the current Lu Jin.
And the Swarm outside the void insect emperor ship seemed to have sensed that the Void Insect Emperors were under threat.
A large number of the Swarm immediately changed direction, and the insect tide directly gathered around the void insect emperor ship.
Upon seeing this scene, Polaris immediately understood.
Lu Jin succeeded!
He actually managed to take down the void insect emperor ship!
"I knew it, that man would definitely create a miracle!"
And the Subspace Demons, seeing the agitation of the Swarm, couldn't help but widen their eyes, hardly daring to believe it.
That Blue Star Human actually did it!
"A mere Human, to be able to achieve such a feat."
"If we could tempt him to fall, wouldn't we gain another fierce general?"
"Don't even think about it, let's leave this troublesome place while we can!"
"Leave? Why leave? Doesn't this battlefield look like an altar right now?"
"You mean?"
Several Demon Commanders came to their senses, and they looked around the battlefield.
Due to the death of the Void Insect Emperors, the Swarm immediately fell into a state of leaderlessness.
The Devouring Insects began to rampage, and the Swarm circled around the void insect emperor ship, but due to their sheer numbers, they couldn't enter it all at once.
The Swarm on the Void Insect Ships also began to experience a series of chain reactions due to the death of the Void Insect Emperors.
The entire Swarm fell into chaos; wasn't this a prime opportunity for the Subspace Demons to tempt the Swarm?
Thus, the Demon Commanders began to tempt the surrounding Devouring Insects.
More and more Devouring Insects were tempted by the Subspace Demons, and after being tempted, they led other Subspace Demons deep into the Swarm.
And after Lu Jin killed the last Void Insect Emperor, he threw a neutron star bomb into the nutrient pool.
Subsequently, Lu Jin immediately led his troops to break through the encirclement!
Without the Void Insect Emperors to command them, the Swarm was as fragile as paper.
Some Swarm members even fled Lu Jin's attack range on their own after seeing the blood of their kind on Lu Jin, without Lu Jin even needing to act.
This also saved Lu Jin a lot of trouble!
They returned to the prometheus ship, and Yu Tiancang inside the ship also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Jin and the others return.
"Operation successful, we're retreating!"
+++
Chapter 199 is never-ending! The Demon Lord!
Upon hearing the order to retreat, Yu Tiancang decisively engaged the ship's engines.
The ship's body twisted for a moment, then disappeared from its original position the next second.
When prometheus reappeared, they were already in the outer region of the void insect emperor ship!
Seeing the dense Swarm surrounding the void insect emperor ship, Lu Jin immediately mobilized the sun whale-class battleship to begin annihilating the remaining Swarm.
These Swarm must be crippled and terrified!
Only then can the Swarm be completely driven out of this star system!
At this moment, Polaris's communication signal appeared before Lu Jin.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu Jin. Now that the Swarm has no leader, it will be much easier to deal with them."
"But Mr. Lu Jin, don't forget, the Void Zerg are not the only ones on this battlefield."
"I see those Subspace Demons seem to be up to something."
Subspace Demons?
After Polaris's reminder, Lu Jin realized that these Subspace Demons hadn't taken the opportunity to escape.
Even though Polaris had shattered their fleet's formation.
Yet they still tried to gain profit from this battle!
And just then, a Subspace Rift appeared again!
This time, after the Subspace Rift appeared, it began to frantically absorb the Swarm from the battlefield.
Countless Swarm and Void Insect Ships were all sucked into Subspace.
The Subspace Rift grew larger and larger, and when the Subspace Demons saw the rift expanding, they felt they were capable again!
A large number of demonic ship phantoms appeared within the rift.
And at the very center of these demonic ships, a large demonic ship attracted the attention of Lu Jin and Polaris.
Because the appearance of that ship was not at all like a ship.
Numerous fleshy tentacles grew around the ship, and all the demonic ships carried different numbers of Subspace Demons.
But this ship did not carry any Subspace Demons.
It was as if it itself was a complete Subspace Demon!
Seeing these demonic ships gradually beginning to descend into the star sea, Lu Jin only felt a headache coming on.
Yu Tiancang next to him even cursed directly.
"Damn it! We just finished dealing with the Void Insect Emperor, and before we even finished clearing out the Swarm, another group of Subspace Demons arrived?"
"If this continues, won't it be endless?"
Yin Yue and the others also frowned; such high-intensity combat was even tiring for them.
Everyone looked at Lu Jin, wanting to see how he would deal with this incoming Subspace Demon fleet.
Lu Jin pinched his brow, his eyes full of helplessness.
Although surprises kept coming, Lu Jin was not discouraged.
He knew very well that this was the rhythm of the Assimilation War, and this was only the initial stage.
By the middle of the Assimilation War, the Blood Clan, Corrupting Spores, Subspace Demons, and Void Zerg—these natural disaster-level creatures—would become even more troublesome.
At least for now, the Void Zerg had not yet nurtured a powerful Insect Emperor.
And although the Subspace Demons had summoned a large number of demonic ships, at least the Subspace Demon Lord had not awakened.
If the Demon Lord awakened, it would undoubtedly be a huge problem for Lu Jin.
But just then, within the Subspace Rift, a pair of gigantic eyes appeared behind all the demonic ships.
All the Subspace Demons, upon seeing those gigantic eyes, immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.
Even the Demon Commander, facing those eyes, had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
And the only existence that could make all Subspace Demons so fearful was the Demon Lord, slumbering in Subspace!
"It's really like, what you fear will come!"
Rumble... Accompanying the awakening of the Demon Lord, the Subspace Rift actually began to expand again.
Without any sacrifices, the Demon Lord extended a giant hand!
This giant hand, when open, could even grasp an entire star!
The massive Demon Lord directly tore open the Subspace Rift, creating a Subspace Channel out of thin air.
The Subspace Demons cheered at this sight!
"The Demon Lord has awakened, and he has even opened a Subspace Channel for us!"
"With this channel, we can freely traverse between Subspace and the star sea!"
"What are you waiting for, brothers? The Demon Lord has awakened, it's time to make the creatures of the star sea fall!"
The appearance of the Demon Lord directly boosted the Subspace Demons' originally low morale to its peak.
And Polaris, looking at the scene within the Subspace Rift, gradually saw a sparkle in her eyes.
Is this Subspace?
Is this the legendary Demon Lord?
Polaris's gaze and the Demon Lord's gaze met!
For a moment, Polaris felt as if her soul was about to enter Subspace.
But just then, a cannonball flew directly into the Subspace Rift.
Boom!
The cannonball exploded, and a holy silver substance instantly spread around the Subspace Rift.
And the Demon Lord's hand, upon touching the holy silver substance, actually began to dissipate.
The Demon Lord in Subspace abruptly withdrew his hand.
The intense burning sensation caused his gaze to fall directly on the sun whale-class battleship nearby.
All the sun whale-class battleships were lined up, all their cannons aimed at the Subspace Rift.
And in the communication channel, Lu Jin calmly began to issue orders.
"All sun whale-class battleships, replace your cannonballs with holy silver cannonballs!"
"holy silver substance is the material most feared by Subspace Demons; even the Demon Lord cannot escape it."
"We produced so much holy silver precisely to deal with Subspace Demons!"
"Fire! Fire fiercely! Don't be stingy with the consumption of cannonballs!"
"Even if he is the Demon Lord, so what? In my territory, you still have to cower!"
At Lu Jin's command, a large number of holy silver cannonballs were directly launched.
Dense holy silver spread around the Subspace Rift.
In just a moment, a silver protective belt formed around the entire Subspace Rift.
The Subspace Demons watched as their surroundings were enveloped by the holy silver substance.
Now, even if they were given ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to appear in the star sea.
Appearing in the star sea now would mean being directly surrounded by an endless amount of holy silver substance.
That feeling would be far more painful than being hit by a cannonball!
Thus, a peculiar situation arose: a large number of Subspace Demons gathered at the edge of the Subspace Rift.
But they did not choose to step forward and continue into the star sea region.
And at this moment, the Demon Lord acted!
Accompanied by a roar, a violent shockwave erupted directly from the Subspace Rift.
The surrounding holy silver substance was dispersed by the shockwave.
Some Subspace Demons, seeing this, quickly seized the opportunity to descend into the star sea!
+++
Chapter 200 Narrowing the Crisis! The Holy Silver-class Large Transport Ship!
"I'm out! I'm finally out!"
"The Star Sea World, is this the Star Sea World?"
"I can finally escape that cage in Subspace. I will rule the Star Sea!"
Before he finished speaking, a laser cannon shot directly landed on the Subspace Demon.
In an instant, many Subspace Demons, before they could even recover from the novelty, directly turned into a wisp of dust in the Star Sea.
Polaris's lips curved slightly upward, and with a wave of her hand, a large amount of artillery fire poured out again.
Those Subspace Demons immediately began to flee, and the Subspace Demons in the Subspace Rift, seeing this, couldn't help but take a step back.
Looking at the fear in the eyes of those Subspace Demons, Polaris felt an endless thrill.
To make even Subspace Demons feel fear, doesn't that make me even more like a Demon than a Demon?
Thinking this, the Gilded Fleet under Polaris's command unleashed even fiercer firepower.
After all, the current situation was already very clear.
The once powerful Swarm was already at the end of its tether, and although the Subspace Demons had successfully awakened the Demon Lord and opened a Subspace Channel.
But the Demon Lord, due to the constraints of Subspace, still couldn't unleash too much power.
Meanwhile, Lu Jin controlled the holy silver substance, firmly trapping the Subspace Demons in the Subspace Rift, preventing them from descending.
If the Demon Lord didn't act, these Subspace Demons could only gaze at the Star Sea World before them, not daring to step forward.
Just then, Lu Jin opened the communication channel.
"The number of Subspace Demons is increasing. Even with holy silver weapons, we can only delay their descent into the Star Sea."
"Linglong, how are the special starships being built on the surface coming along with their debugging?"
In the communication channel, Linglong immediately understood Lu Jin's meaning after hearing about the battle situation in outer space.
Early in the series of plans for outpost construction, Lu Jin had already set up a special starship construction plan specifically designed to counter each race.
And what was to be activated now was precisely the special starship Lu Jin had built to deal with the Subspace Demons.
The holy silver class large transport ship!
As its name suggested, the entire transport ship was made of holy silver.
The cost of one transport ship was ten times that of an ordinary starship!
Most importantly, this large transport ship was loaded with a large number of expensive exorcism rods!
Lu Jin had spent a lot of effort to scour these exorcism rods from various planetary markets.
But unexpectedly, just as one holy silver class large transport ship was built, the Subspace Demons descended, even alarming the Demon Lord.
Now, Lu Jin didn't expect the holy silver class large transport ship to cause damage to the Subspace Demons.
He only hoped that it could seal these Subspace Demons in the channel to buy some time to breathe!
The holy silver class large transport ship gradually appeared in the sight of many Subspace Demons.
Even Polaris noticed this unique starship.
Her gaze fell directly on the holy silver class large transport ship before her.
"Oh? This ship looks a bit different."
"Mr. Lu Jin, what other trump cards do you have? Why don't you just show them all."
"Every time I think you have no trump cards left, you always surprise me."
Facing Polaris's words, Lu Jin simply chose to ignore them.
After a short period of acquaintance, Lu Jin had already categorized Polaris as a dangerous individual.
If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind eliminating Polaris.
Such a person by his side, as time passed, the harm would gradually outweigh the benefits.
However, for now, Lu Jin still needed the firepower of the Gilded Fleet.
"My trump cards are far more numerous than you imagine."
With that, Lu Jin commanded the holy silver class large transport ship to sail near the Subspace Rift.
Seeing the starship before them, entirely made of holy silver, the Subspace Demons all felt a deep-seated revulsion.
"I have never seen such a disgusting starship!"
"Damn it! Who's going to destroy this starship? Just looking at it is irritating!"
"Who's going? Our exit is now covered with holy silver substance. If you have the guts, go out now."
"The Demon Lord opened a channel for us, but we can only stay in the channel. What kind of situation is this?"
The Subspace Demons complained while looking back at Subspace.
Now, they could only place their hopes on the Demon Lord.
And at this moment, the Demon Lord naturally also noticed the gradually approaching holy silver class large transport ship.
The Subspace Demon's instinct made him extremely disgusted with this holy silver-built ship as well.
But the suppression of the Subspace rules made him exhausted.
His previous actions had already consumed a lot of his energy.
However, seeing the numerous Subspace Demons lingering around the channel, the Demon Lord felt a surge of anger.
He had gone to such lengths, yet he still couldn't allow the Subspace Demons to descend into the Star Sea!
Thinking this, the Demon Lord decided to use his last bit of strength to completely destroy the starship before him.
Rumble... The Demon Lord moved!
A powerful pressure emanated from the Subspace Rift!
A monstrous Demon giant hand swept over the heads of the Subspace Demons, heading straight for the holy silver class transport ship before it.
The Subspace Demons cheered; with the Demon Lord acting, this ship that disgusted countless Subspace Demons was bound to be destroyed!
As the Demon giant hand appeared, a large amount of holy silver substance wrapped around the Demon Lord's hand.
An intense burning sensation struck, but the Demon Lord didn't care at all. His large hand continued to strike at the holy silver class large transport ship.
Seeing this, Lu Jin opened the communication channel and calmly gave an order.
"Fire the exorcism rods!"
"Received!"
Inside the holy silver class large transport ship, a large number of Engineering Robots began to operate.
That's right!
To prevent the Subspace Demons from using mental bewitchment to cause problems inside the ship.
All the crew members inside the holy silver class large transport ship were Engineering Robots!
Engineering Robots operated according to instructions and could not possibly be mentally bewitched and corrupted by Subspace Demons.
And now, the Engineering Robots loaded an exorcism rod, made of various materials, into the shell compartment that originally held cannon shells.
Bang!
As the firepower system in the turret erupted!
The exorcism rod turned into a stream of light, shooting straight towards the Demon Lord's hand!
Whoosh!
The next second, the exorcism rod directly pierced through the Demon Lord's palm.
Immediately after, the Demon Lord's shrill roar instantly echoed from within Subspace!
The Demon giant hand, which was about to strike the starship, quickly retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
And the Subspace Demons' hearts also skipped a beat; they had never heard the Demon Lord emit such a shrill scream.
What on earth happened to make the Demon Lord scream so terribly?
