Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 82 Devastating Victory

As the battlefield situation changed, the Zerg swarm, with its overwhelming advantage, broke through the vanguard of the beast tide and charged towards its core.

The four king-level monsters roared, and their core clans joined the battle.

"roar--"

One after another, mighty demonic apes, each thirty meters tall, roared and pounded their chests as they joined the battle.

Behind the Mighty Demon Ape followed thousands of silver electric pythons of varying sizes. These creatures, usually mortal enemies, now cooperated with remarkable skill.

In the ground, countless scorpion-like monsters darted about, charging towards the center of the battlefield.

Further away, a group of exceptionally large turtle-like monsters, resembling small mountains, strode with heavy steps, causing the earth to tremble.

"Are we about to deploy the core group?"

Standing atop the head of a mammoth, Qin Mu chuckled softly.

Even now, he is very satisfied with the performance of the swarm. Facing a beast tide that outnumbers the swarm by several times, they are able to cut through the monsters' core area as easily as slicing vegetables.

In terms of sheer numbers, the monsters in City 003 are more than ten times the number of the insect swarm, but due to the limited time, the number of monsters gathered by the four king-level monsters is only two or three times more than that of the insect swarm.

"Then, all high-ranking lords, move out!"

With a thought, Qin Mu summoned the mammoths, giant elephants, and other high-level lord-level monsters in the swarm, who roared in unison and launched a ferocious charge towards the core race within the monster horde.

Hundreds of mammoths lined up in neat rows and joined the battle in their most ferocious form.

The mammoth, which is nearly 40 meters tall, is far less agile than the mighty ape, but its ability to charge head-on on the battlefield is almost unstoppable!

"boom--"

On the battlefield, a mighty ape had nowhere to hide and was rammed head-on by a mammoth. Its four giant tusks, like four incredibly sharp blades, pierced into the ape's chest.

The Mighty Demon Ape's body was torn apart like rags. The Mighty Demon Ape, which was known for its strength, was no match for a true behemoth like the Mammoth.

The silver electric python was unable to dodge in time and was crushed by the elephant's leg, which was as big as a towering pillar.

Some of the scorpion-like monsters underground didn't even have time to emerge from the ground before they were shaken to death.

Throughout the entire beast tide, only the equally massive dragon turtle was able to withstand the head-on charge of the mammoth!

Unfortunately, there were far too few of those enormous dragon turtles; they were less than half the number of mammoths.

But while that dragon turtle is strong in defense, it is far inferior in terms of charging ability.

Looking at the mammoth giant tearing apart the four core monster clans on the battlefield with overwhelming force, Qin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

This is the scene he wanted to see!

His strength alone is not enough; only when the swarm of insects becomes strong can the monster be truly defeated.

It should be noted that the strongest humans are stronger than land monsters, so why did Hong only come forward to negotiate?

Instead of killing all the land monsters?

The reason is simple: although there is no beast king comparable to Hong among the land monsters, how many human martial artists are there in the world?

It's only close to a million.

Where is the monster?

A single Level 1 beast tide can easily unleash hundreds of millions of beasts!

How many years does it take for a human to train a martial artist? Monsters, on the other hand, can easily have dozens in a single litter, growing up in just two or three years.

If it really came down to a fight, humans simply couldn't compete.

No matter how powerful Hong is, can he kill all the countless monsters on Earth?

But Qin Mu is different!

The swarm of insects is stronger and more prolific than the monsters!

Monsters need to reproduce and grow from infancy, while swarms can hatch in large numbers from the mother hive. Born at peak combat strength, how can monsters fight against swarms?

Seeing that even with their core group deployed, they were still easily defeated by the swarm of insects, the four king-level monsters became anxious and roared repeatedly, summoning more monsters from the city behind them to join the battle.

At the same time, they turned their attention to Qin Mu.

In the past, it was always human powerhouses who tried to kill the king-level monsters to end the beast tide. This time, however, it was the king-level monsters who wanted to kill Qin Mu to eliminate the swarm!

"The monsters have gathered enough; it's time to make a move on those king-level monsters."

Qin Mu's gaze was icy. The reason he wasn't in a hurry to make a move was not only because he wanted to test the combat power of the insect swarm, but also because he wanted the king-level monsters to gather as many monsters in the city as possible.

Complete annihilation is certainly impossible, but it is still possible to defeat their main force in one fell swoop and wipe out the core group of monsters and most of the lord-level monsters.

This is much more efficient than slowly hunting down a swarm of insects.

"Of the four king-level monsters, the mighty demonic ape and the silver lightning python are somewhat worth watching, with strength at planetary level three. Although the dragon turtle is the largest, it is only planetary level two."

The Nine-Tailed Scorpion is the weakest, only at the Planetary level! However, its skill in burrowing and its potent venom allow it to barely be ranked alongside the other major monsters.

Qin Mu stood on the Crescent Moon Disc, and 256 crescent moon blades burning with black flames floated around him, transforming into a streak of light and rushing into the battlefield.

At a terrifying speed of more than twenty times the speed of sound, it rushed to the vicinity of the Nine-Tailed Poison Scorpion, the weakest of the four king-level monsters, in almost an instant.

This nine-tailed scorpion is the weakest, but it is good at burrowing underground. Once it escapes underground, it will be a real problem.

The crescent-shaped blades whistled as they sliced ​​through the Nine-Tailed Poison Scorpion's black carapace, offering only a brief moment of resistance before being sliced ​​through by the blades.

Black flames spread across the Crescent Moon Blade, and before the Nine-Tailed Scorpion could react, it was severely injured, its entire body engulfed in intense black flames.

The pain that penetrated to the very depths of his soul caused the Nine-Tailed Scorpion to convulse violently. The pain was so terrible that the Nine-Tailed Scorpion couldn't even escape into the ground. Instinctively, he rolled wildly on the ground, crushing a large number of monsters to death.

Seeing Qin Mu instantly killed by the Nine-Tailed Poison Scorpion, the most powerful Great Demon Ape roared, its hundred-meter-tall body swaying as a terrifying arm swept out towards Qin Mu.

Qin Mu dodged using the Crescent Moon Disc. With his speed, the Great Demon Ape's attacks were like slow motion, posing no threat whatsoever.

256 crescent-shaped blades burning with black flames cut through the body of the Mighty Demon Ape. Strands of purple hair, thicker than a human arm, fell off. The crescent-shaped blades struggled to cut into the Mighty Demon Ape's skin and muscles, but were blocked by its bones.

Black flames burned in the wounds on the body of the Mighty Demon Ape.

"roar--"

The Great Demon Ape's genetic energy surged, and the black flames burning at the wound were immediately suppressed, but the flames that directly attacked its soul and consciousness still made the Great Demon Ape howl in pain.

Two thick arms patted all over his body, trying to extinguish the flames.

"After being covered by black flames, the Crescent Moon Blade's attack power was increased to a certain extent, and it could even cut through the planetary level three monster, the Mighty Demon Ape."

Moreover, the black flames' soul attack was also very powerful, instantly shattering the Nine-Tailed Scorpion's consciousness.

A thought flashed through Qin Mu's mind, and he lunged at the Silver Lightning Python that had already begun to flee.

Upon seeing the Nine-Tailed Poison Scorpion instantly killed, the Silver Lightning Python was shocked. The next moment, seeing its old rival, the Mighty Demon Ape, severely injured, it immediately fled for its life.

Previously, they had heard from human broadcasts that Jia Yi had said that Hong Du was no match for Qin Mu.

But how could they possibly believe that?

Could a human who appeared out of nowhere be stronger than Hong?

How could that be? That's Hong!

Hong, who could single-handedly suppress all the land monsters and sky monsters, making it hard for them to breathe!

Hong forced them to sign a ceasefire agreement!

But now, it was beginning to believe that even if Qin Mu was not as powerful as Hong, he was still an extremely powerful being that it could not contend with.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The Crescent Moon Blade swept in, slicing through its hard scales, bones, and muscles. Its hundreds-of-meters-long body crashed to the ground, engulfed in raging black flames.

Seeing that things were not going well, the dragon turtle immediately retracted its limbs and head into its hard shell, and its whole body transformed into a rolling disc, trying to escape into the sea.

The broken blade repeatedly struck the dragon turtle's shell, yet it couldn't break through its defenses.

In terms of defense, even the Mighty Demon Ape is no match for this Dragon Turtle.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong its defenses were, the Crescent Moon Blade still managed to penetrate the gaps in its carapace and shred its internal organs.

Qin Mu did not kill any of the four king-level monsters. The reason was simple: he wanted to enslave and transform them into insectoid beings.

The current brood mound is not yet capable of hatching planetary-level Zerg, so these king-level monsters can serve as the high-end combat force of the Zerg swarm.

Don't be fooled by how easily Qin Mu dealt with them; that's just Qin Mu.

Even the strongest member of the military, Jia Yi, would not be a match for the Mighty Demon Ape.

Flying to the other side, scorched by black flames, still in front of the churning nine-tailed scorpion, I channeled my mental energy into its sea of ​​consciousness.

"Even my sea of ​​consciousness was burned by the flames! What domineering black flames!"

Inside the Nine-Tailed Scorpion's sea of ​​consciousness, Qin Mu watched in astonishment as black flames burned fiercely on a star that had condensed within the Nine-Tailed Scorpion's sea of ​​consciousness, causing it to tremble.

"Submit to me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the nine-tailed scorpion showed a sense of submission, begging Qin Mu to quickly extinguish the black flames.

"So easy?"

Qin Mu, who had originally thought it would take some effort, was surprised to find that with this black flame, transforming the king-level monster into an insectoid was much easier.

Before this, every king-level monster was extremely arrogant, and even if they were defeated, they would not easily submit.

After the black flames were extinguished, the nine-tailed scorpion immediately lay down on the ground, motionless.

Not only the nine-tailed scorpion, but Qin Mu also didn't spend much effort transforming the other three king-level monsters into insectoid forms.

Only the mighty demonic ape had the strongest will. After resisting for a while, it barely submitted after Qin Mu shattered its consciousness.

"With the help of this flame, subduing King-level monsters became much easier!"

Qin Mu's heart stirred. The attack of this black flame should be closely related to will. The Silver Electric Python and the Mighty Demon Ape were not much different in strength, but their resistance to the insectoid transformation was far different.

Normally, it would take Qin Mu a long time to subdue a king-level monster, consuming a large amount of mental energy.

But right now, he has easily subdued four king-level monsters.

On the battlefield, after losing the four king-level monster leaders, the beast tide was defeated by the insect swarm, and a large number of monsters began to flee in all directions.

Qin Mu did not stop either, and together with the insect swarm, they harvested a large wave of lord-level monsters.

"The overall situation is settled; the rest is up to the Zerg swarm."

Standing atop the crescent moon disc, Qin Mu surveyed the battlefield. Everywhere, swarms of insects chased after monsters, who fled in terror, their will to fight gone.

The auxiliary quantum computer on my arm beeped with a communication request; it was Jia Yi, who had seen the battle was over, calling from afar.

"Qin Mu! We won! As previously predicted, other King-level monsters within China have also begun to make their moves."

King-level monsters have been spotted outside six base cities and numerous satellite cities; monsters from major cities and the wilderness are beginning to converge!

Jia Yi's voice was filled with undisguised excitement. This battle was being broadcast live nationwide, and the exhilarating fighting and the overwhelming victory thrilled him.

"Understood! Our monsters are all deployed; we're just waiting for those King-level monsters to arrive! I will defeat them as quickly as possible!"

Qin Mu's voice was cold; they had anticipated the monster's actions.

"However, there's something I need to tell you!"

Jia Yi's voice suddenly crackled with barely suppressed anger.

"Just before we launched the war, during the national mobilization, the HR Alliance issued a $1000 billion bounty to the world."

The bounty is for a murderer named Li Wei who died in City 003 before the war and killed the HR Alliance!

This caused considerable disruption to our war mobilization!

Qin Mu was stunned when he heard this. What was going on?

Offering bounties while China is mobilizing for war and declaring full-scale war against monsters?

Who would dare to cause trouble at this time? Are they trying to oppose him and the Chinese military?

"A bounty of hundreds of billions? Li Wei? Luo Feng?"
