Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 328 Hell Locusts
The swarm of demons was wiped out in large numbers, while the elite units on the Hextech Dimension suffered very few casualties.

This one-sided loss is clearly not a situation that Hell wants to see.

Just after their front line had been pushed more than halfway through, the Hell faction finally made a change.

However, this time, the first units deployed to the battlefield by Hell were not elite troops that were superior to the lesser demons.

On the contrary, there are creatures that can almost be considered the lowest level of hell—the hell locusts!
As soon as the first sound of a hell locust's wings trembling echoed across the dimensional battlefield, an overwhelming swarm of locusts rushed in from the battlefield's boundary.

An endless swarm of locusts swept past, and in the blink of an eye, they covered half of the battlefield in one dimension, like dark clouds that blotted out the sun.

The reason why this creature is said to be at the very bottom of hell is...

That's because the energy contained in a single hell locust is extremely low.

If the Imp's attacks could barely leave scratches on the berserker, then the gap between the Hell Locust and the Imp might be even greater.

However, all of this is based on the condition of an individual.

When the hellish locusts swarm in, even a pure steel structure cannot withstand the relentless onslaught for long.

However, these are not the real reasons why Hell chose to release a large number of Hell Locusts in the dimensional battlefield!
As countless locusts swarmed towards them, many small demons were accidentally injured and devoured along their path.

The Si Cup, being the first to realize what was about to happen, naturally wouldn't pretend to ignore it.

He kicked two demons that tried to entangle him to pieces, then took three steps at a time, stepping on Bucky next to him and leaping into the air.

The next moment, Pandora's box, which had been casually carried on Sibei's back, suddenly disintegrated and began to change form.

In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black box had reassembled into six strangely shaped, thick jet nozzles, somewhat resembling spider legs, pointing menacingly forward.

'Pandora: Fire Release Extended Mode' was activated instantly.

At the same time, Si Bei, who had leaped into the air, had already completed the hand seals.

Then, Si Bei inhaled, his chest rising slightly, as if gathering strength.

Immediately after
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

A raging, scorching fire dragon instantly spewed from the mouth of the cup, ferociously crashing towards the overwhelming swarm of insects in the distance.

However, Pandora's switch to 'Fire Release Mode' wasn't just for aesthetic purposes. The moment Pandora breathed fire, the six thick, dark nozzles behind him also replicated the ninjutsu he released.

Six identical fire dragons followed closely behind, quickly spreading out from the first fire dragon and expanding the attack range once again.

Seven ferocious fire dragons snaked forward, and wherever they passed, large swarms of locusts were immediately turned to ashes by the heatwave.

However, Si Bei, who had single-handedly intercepted the massive swarm of locusts, frowned slightly at this moment.

There's no other reason than that, just like when Bucky used energy missiles to clear out the small demon hordes, using this kind of wide-range attack to eliminate these hell locusts would be a waste.

Although Si Bei couldn't accurately determine the energy contained in each locust, he could clearly know that most of the damage from the fire dragon he controlled dissipated directly into the air.

Even though Si Bei had chosen the controllable, continuous attack of 'Dragon Fire Technique' instead of the one-time explosive 'Great Fireball Technique', it was still somewhat like using a cannon to kill a mosquito against the almost endless hell locusts in the air.

However, the actual situation at present is...

If he doesn't intervene, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult for the other Hextech units to intercept this dense swarm of locusts. Ordinary artillery or laser attacks would be a waste, and it's uncertain how much damage they would actually inflict or how many locusts they would actually stop.

Trying to conserve resources indiscriminately may ultimately lead to greater casualties on one's own side.

Surely Sibei can't possibly still be thinking of relying on the berserkers' fists to stop these locusts, right?

It can only be said that Hell, having experienced countless dimensional wars, has its own unique "ingenuity" in the logic of "equal distribution and replacement of energy".

In some dimensional worlds where species are singular and easily targeted, the Hell Locusts alone can devour the enemy.

However, just as Sibei in the air was doing his best to maintain the fire dragon's interception and try to kill more locusts, the support sent by Dunshan from the rear finally arrived.

The first to arrive were the Razor drones that were originally slaying aerial demons.

Previously, these drones were primarily used to deal with flying demons that attempted to approach the main base directly from the air.

Luca designed this drone specifically for use in dimensional battlefields. It is similar to a smaller version of the Dark Elf Razorship and has extremely high flight speed and a sharp, sturdy fuselage.

From the very beginning of the battle, Skynet had been calculating and setting up a tight strangulation network in the airspace.

Any demons that tried to pass through were cut down and torn apart by the swarming Razor drones.

However, this form of attack is clearly not suitable for dealing with the dense swarm of locusts in front of them.

In fact, these drones are currently mostly used for guard duties.

What will truly come into play next are the oddly shaped, spherical aircraft that resemble multi-barreled gun turrets behind these razor drones.

"Bring these cups instead!"

Dunshan's voice came through the headset, and Sibei quickly and without hesitation controlled the seven fire dragons to disperse.

next moment.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

A series of explosions echoed throughout the battlefield.

The fire dragon, which had been burning solely on its own flames, was completely detonated at this moment, instantly transforming into seven enormous, blazing fireballs.

It wasn't just the flames and impact from the explosion; the heat waves alone were enough to wipe out swarms of hell locusts.

Seeing that his mission had been accomplished, Si Bei, who was in the air, immediately took control of the Pandora Armor on his back.

The four external jets at the bottom of the back immediately enveloped and covered the hands and feet, with the two jets at the top also changing position and facing downwards.

The original six-tube fire-style amplification device was transformed into a jet-powered aircraft in a semi-clothed form.

The six flamethrowers activated simultaneously, instantly propelling the Sibei backward at high speed away from the swarm's impact.

And the aircraft that brushed past him was the air force sent by Dunshan.
