Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

The damage caused by Liu Nian's punch was directly transmitted to the entire Nest City.

As mentioned earlier, the Nest City and the Gorgon King are one entity!

In other words, the Gorgon King doesn't actually have a life value. Instead, like a city or building, it has a durability value. The durability of the entire city and all the buildings within it can be counted as the Gorgon's life value.

This data is impossible to describe with precise numbers because it is constantly changing. If necessary, it can even instantly transform worker insects into more buildings or temporarily increase the city's life value by providing nutrients.

"My turn!!"

Liu Nian had already thrown his second punch after he finished speaking.

Due to the unique nature of the Insect King, it is impossible for it to trigger Heart Steel.

Liu Nian's second punch was aimed at Gorgon's head.

Gorgon reacted extremely quickly, using its other scythe-like forelimb to block the punch.

But the terrifying force of that punch almost broke the scythe's forelimb!

Unseen by Liu Nian, a Zerg building suddenly exploded into countless pieces of flesh...

This is actually the Gorgon Insect King actively transferring the damage away.

"Arrogant!!" The Gorgon Insect King roared in fury, and its entire cavity suddenly changed, with countless holes of all sizes or nozzle-like objects appearing on the surrounding cavity walls.

Then, all sorts of attacks erupted from these caves and nozzles, heading straight for Liu Nian!

In an instant, the light was dazzling, and Liu Nian was bombarded by various attacks until he could no longer be seen.

Every attack it launched was of the level of a city defense weapon, but Liu Nian's attributes were too overpowered, and he also had strong resistances and various defensive and counter-damage skills. In addition, there was no level suppression now, so after Gorgon bombarded for a while, he found that... the durability of the entire hive was dropping rapidly!

It's as if the damage it inflicted was actually damaging its own nest!

Helpless, it had to stop, because if it continued fighting, the other side would be fine, but its city would be destroyed by itself!

This is practically suicide...

Things are getting a bit complicated.

The attack stopped, and smoke filled the cavity.

Those who frequently read comics know a theorem: smoke doesn't cause harm.

Indeed, with a roar, a golden dragon emerged from the smoke and lunged at Gorgon!

A flash of anger crossed Gorgon's compound eyes: "You're asking for death!!"

Its mouth opened, and a thick, dark purple beam of light shot out from it, blasting straight at the dragon!

The dragon opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of energy!

Liu Nian's damage at this moment is much higher than that of his opponent!

So, unsurprisingly, Liu Nian achieved a crushing victory in the clash of light beams!

The elemental breath pierced through the insect king's massive body, blasting its entire upper body to smithereens.

Dark green blood gushed from the broken body like a fountain, splashing onto the fungal carpet, sizzling and corroding into pits that emitted white smoke.

But Liu Nian knew it wouldn't die so easily.

As long as the nest remains, the insect king's life continues.

Sure enough, a milky white membrane quickly formed at the broken wound. Underneath the membrane, it seemed as if countless tentacles were wriggling violently back and forth. Soon, with a "plop," the upper body of a brand new insect king broke through the membrane and emerged!

Apart from being covered in slime, it looks exactly the same as before!

The Insect King can draw unlimited amounts of Nest City energy to repair its body and fight Liu Nian.

Gorgon's six pairs of compound eyes stared at Liu Nian, his pupils flashing with a cold light:

"I told you, you can't kill me on my territory!" it said in a deep voice. "I have unlimited energy, I have endless biomass. You could destroy me a hundred times, it wouldn't matter!"

It paused, then a ferocious grin spread across its face.

"And the one hundred and first time?"

As Liu Nian spoke, his dragon body swung in the air and lunged at Gorgon. This time, he didn't use his breath or his dragon claws; instead, he charged directly at him with his body.

boom--!!!

The dragon's body crashed heavily into it, and Gorgon's upper body was shattered once again.

But it recovered again after a short while!

Then came the third time... the fourth time... the fifth time!

No matter what moves Liu Nian used to shatter its body, the Insect King would repair itself in a matter of moments!

But Liu Nian didn't believe that the other party's repair was without cost!

There must be something supporting Gorgon's body repair in a place he cannot see.

Indeed, this was the case. After each of Liu Nian's attacks, a Zerg hive structure somewhere in the hive city would rapidly shrink... as if all its life energy had been drained away, instantly becoming listless.

But soon, the building will slowly recover and unfold again...

Clearly, the Insect King violently drained the life energy from the building and then used biomass to repair it!

Gorgon was furious!

It never expected the other party to be so monstrous!

Despite its strength and home advantage, it couldn't do anything against Liu Nian!

How is that possible?

It's important to know that Gorgon is no nobody; in the level 499 circle, it's basically recognized as a top-tier fighter!

This is why it cannot leave the nest city; otherwise, it would never be restricted to level 499.

This is unavoidable; the Zerg have obvious advantages, but their disadvantages are equally significant.

The Insect King or Queen possesses unparalleled dominance over the entire species. Their species are vast in number, fearless, and have a strong home-field advantage.

The downside is that, apart from the Insect King, the gap between other Insect players and the Insect King is too huge. Some top-tier dungeons are difficult to complete without the Insect King's help. This is why Gorgon has been unable to obtain the items to break through the level limit for a long time and has to rely on bounties and hire other players to do it for him.

After repeatedly blasting the Insect King to pieces, Liu Nian had vented his anger.

He then shifted his attack target to the city itself.

The lower half of the Gorgon's body is fused to the insect nest, making it impossible for it to move!

This city, while granting it near-immortality, is also its prison! This is a classic case of every advantage having its disadvantages.

Liu Nian undoubtedly saw through this, so he believed that as long as the nest was destroyed, Gorgon would also perish with the city!

As for the other insectoid players, heh, he doesn't even care about the Insect King, so why would he care about those insects?

[Following the Laws of Heaven and Earth]!

The gigantic body slammed into the cavity wall above its head, *thud*

Liu Nian forcefully pierced through the nest and went straight out, then began a barrage of attacks!

Gorgon certainly knew what Liu Nian wanted to do, but just as Liu Nian had predicted, it had no effective means to deal with Liu Nian's sabotage!
