I work as an editor at Marvel.

As for the Xenomorphs' extraordinary adaptability, it is achieved by replacing individual members of the population. However, due to the limitations of the cabin in the woods, the population renewal rate is ridiculously slow.

However, these restrictions have now been lifted.

When the Alien Queen realized this, she thought her brain had been damaged by the aura of hell, causing her to have a hallucination.

However, it was not appropriate to just tough it out like that, so several aliens rushed out of the city sewers and dragged their target towards the alien nest.

The influence of the hellish aura is clearly real; the Alien Queen's actions have lost their initial caution and have instead taken on a hint of madness.

However, other life forms were more affected. The appearance of the alien did not cause panic or targeting. In fact, the huge sound it made and its terrifying appearance even made several hot-tempered guys pick up knives and prepare to kill the alien.

However, these guys had only run a few steps when their attention was immediately drawn to others; now, anything could become a reason for conflict.

For example, I charged out, and you guys just stood there and let that noisy monster get away? I'll kill you all!

The streets then descended into chaos as people fought each other.

At this time, the alien worker bees also dragged the food to the nest.

Several facehuggers eagerly jumped out of the alien egg and pounced directly on the host's face.

After the juvenile Xenomorph enters the host's abdominal cavity, the Xenomorph Queen's mouthparts are ejected, and the catalyst is injected into the host's body.

Just ten minutes later, a new alien burst forth.

This alien has a ferocious-looking shell with a dark red surface, and it emits sulfurous gas with every breath.

At the same time, the blood temperature in the new alien body has risen to an extremely high level, which is one of the reasons why the surface is red.

Even when it opens its mouth, you can see orange-red sparks jumping out, indicating that the alien has evolved a non-physical attack method.

This new type of alien can be tentatively named the Hellish Alien, as it has a stronger resistance to the omnipresent hellish atmosphere than ordinary aliens.

After acquiring several new anchor points, the Alien Queen's body shell began to show a pale red hue.

Resistance has been improved, but that's not enough, far from enough.

In addition, these few Hellish Xenomorphs not only provided the Xenomorph Queen with specific resistance shell genes, but also officially increased the total number of Xenomorphs to over 1000.

After waiting anxiously for half an hour without receiving any further blows from the cabin in the woods, the Alien Queen suddenly became bolder.

The rear part of the ovipositor suddenly swelled up as if it were filled with air, and then, one after another, alien eggs were expelled from the tail.

"Hiss~ Roar!"

Although she didn't know why the restrictions had disappeared, the Alien Queen knew that now was the best opportunity to increase the population. As the Alien Queen who bore the heavy responsibility of continuing the species, she absolutely could not let this opportunity slip by.

Under the control of the Alien Queen, aliens of various forms rushed in all directions, frantically and recklessly collecting food and different genes.

Looking at the children who had come out, the Alien Queen raised her head and shouted in Chitauri, "I declare that this city belongs to the Aliens!"

Chapter 282 It's either friends or food!

The Xenomorph Queen's rampant reproduction was quickly discovered by the Chitauri fleet. These hideous and powerful Xenomorphs were indeed not as easy to hide as they had been initially, as their numbers increased.

However, the fleet's observers did not include the aliens in their targets; instead, they simply recorded all relevant information according to Thanos's orders.

To Thanos and everyone in the fleet, the aliens were undoubtedly created by Mephisto.

They can adapt to their environment incredibly quickly, grow rapidly by plundering genes, and exude a hellish aura; no one would believe they didn't come from hell.

When Thanos's forces discovered the alien race, the aliens had already completely occupied a city, and their numbers had exploded to over ten thousand. After a brief respite of a few hours, the aliens began their advance towards other cities.

"Mephisto has finally started trying to bring the physical body under his control again," Corvus Glaive said, looking at the scattered alien dots on the map.

The foundation of the Hell dimension is the soul. Whether it's lesser demons or greater demons, the essential substance for their survival and ascension is the soul.

Some physical sacrifices are actually more about stimulating the soul, but now there is a race like the Xenomorphs that doesn't touch the soul much and focuses on the body and biological matter, which makes Corvus Glaive think twice.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a transaction," Thanos said casually. But if he really didn't intend to get involved, why would he have his men monitor the Xenomorphs' movements and collect data on them?

The Xenomorphs, a species that reproduces extremely quickly and is highly adaptable, are Thanos's most hated creatures. If he hadn't been cooperating with Mephisto, he would have wiped the planet below, along with the Xenomorphs, off the face of the earth with a single punch.

As time passed, the number of aliens finally broke through the 100,000 mark, which means they have temporarily escaped the endangered status. However, the growth rate of the entire race has also stagnated.

Inside the nest, the Alien Queen looked down at the Queen Eggs beneath her body, her compound eyes filled with disgust. Whether it was the influence of the hellish aura or the Alien Queen's eccentric personality, in her eyes, these Alien Queen Eggs, born from the large number of Aliens, were just there to reap the benefits.

Several broken alien queen eggs were already lying next to the nest. They were all destroyed by the alien queen herself at the beginning. However, the genes buried deep inside still caused the alien queen to lay a queen egg every once in a while.

The reason the Queen's egg has survived this long is because the number of aliens has reached the current Queen's control limit.

After all, the host at the time of the current queen's birth was only a low-level superhuman, and the genetic strength and quality provided were very effective. The fact that it has developed to the current state is because the Xenomorph's own racial stats are outrageous.

After much hesitation, the current queen still controlled the worker bees to drag over the best genetic host currently discovered, a soldier left behind on the planet by the Chitauri fleet.

With a slight movement of the tail tube, the queen's egg rolled into the host's body, and half an hour later, a new alien queen appeared.

From the moment this queen was born, her carapace was filled with an aura of hell, which is also what the current queen hates, because the superior genes that she painstakingly selected and cultivated are now directly inherited by the next queen.

A few hours later, the Alien Queen II, having eaten her fill, was driven out of the city controlled by the current queen.

The heavy snow fell on Number Two's head, but was evaporated into water vapor by her hot body and rose upwards.

Throughout the entire process, neither of the two alien queens showed any particular emotional expression, which is the normal way the alien race reproduces.

After the current queen assumed power, the probability of her producing queen eggs increased dramatically, and the entire alien race entered another period of rapid growth.

In the Hell Dimension, Mephisto, who was confronting the eight great demons including the Holy Lord, was a little puzzled. According to the world's standards, the battle on Planet Chitauri II should have at least hatched several high-quality souls by now, so why hadn't he received a single one?

"Where are you looking?!" Zhou Lan hurled a pure black energy ball at him.

The terrifying gravity caused the energy sphere to ripple and wrinkle the surrounding space as it moved.

Mephisto raised his right hand, and a fountain of blood gushed forth, colliding with the gravity sphere and turning into ashes together.

After drawing Mephisto's attention back, Zhou Lan also flashed back into the Bagua Formation.

The eight demons are currently playing a harassment game. With the Bagua Formation in place, Mephisto cannot reduce their numbers in a short period of time, and Ximu's super-fast speed allows them to retreat at any time.

What exactly are these guys trying to do?

Mephisto was very puzzled. It seemed that the Holy Lord and the others were using the energy they had accumulated over this period to wage a war of attrition against him. But what made them think they could win a war of attrition? Even if he, Mephisto, was not the best, he had spent thousands of years in the Hell Dimension. What made him think he could win a war of attrition?

Bo Gang shared the same question: "How boring, Holy Lord! If you don't tell me what you're planning, I'm going back and eating all the demons you've gathered!"

"I've come to pick up a friend," the Holy Lord said after a few seconds of silence.

"You have friends too?" The demons looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

As they laughed, the demons noticed that Shendu remained unmoved and sensed something was amiss. "What friend?"

“Alien Queen.” The Holy Lord opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs.

"Who?" Zhou Lan was a little confused. He didn't remember ever hearing about this guy.

"I don't know her." The Holy Lord spoke the truth frankly, "but she should be our friend, and also a support sent from over there."

The meaning of the Lord's words is very simple: if the so-called support is not even enough to make friends, then it can only become food.

"Are you still in contact with them?" Zhou Lan asked. As the eldest brother, he knew nothing about so many things. The Holy Lord did a good job keeping things secret.

The Holy Lord chuckled, turned to look at Mephisto in the distance, took a deep breath, and unleashed a burst of dragon fire at him.

Seeing that the Holy Lord didn't want to talk about it, Zhou Lan didn't press further. After all, everyone knew that if they fell out, they would all be doomed. Without the Bagua Formation, they would be unable to fight Mephisto in Hell. At this moment, Xi Mu, who was hiding in the back, breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, the channel through which the Holy Lord communicates with the Human Alliance is Ximu. As a demon whose speed easily surpasses the speed of light, with someone cooperating to cast magic, Ximu can relatively easily return to the Human Alliance.

Anyway, as long as the core remains in Hell, Westwood can rush back at any time should Mephisto attack.

This routine harassment escalated into a war of attrition because Ximu received a message from the other side of the spatial rift through the opened space. Although they didn't belong to the same system, Ximu didn't dare to disobey.

Putting aside other consequences, if he didn't listen to Ximu, he definitely wouldn't be able to go back to Earth to relax.

Chapter 283 I am the Xenomorph, I am the only Xenomorph Queen!

In the Hell dimension, Mephisto was completely held back by the eight demons, while Thanos abandoned the situation due to the information gap.

It can be said that the aliens have all the advantages: favorable timing, geographical location, and popular support.

Oh no, there aren't any people, because we've almost finished eating.

Now, all the cities on the entire planet have been conquered by the aliens.

Under the combined influence of the hellish atmosphere and the alien army, 300 million people were transformed into dozens of alien queens and the alien army they led.

Among these alien queens, the first one is the most pitiful. To this day, the number of aliens is still hovering around 100,000. To the other alien queens, she is just a dessert that they can eat at any time.

It should be noted that the number of Xenomorphs with even slightly stronger power has exceeded one million, especially the first queen who hatched the first Xenomorph, who, due to her first-mover advantage, controls as many as two million Xenomorphs.

Food on the planet has run out, but the aliens still haven't evolved the ability to enter space. So, in order to continue surviving, the various alien queens have turned their attention to their neighbors.

Another bloody storm was unleashed, but Thanos and his allies became even more indifferent. A race capable of such madness as to kill each other only served to reinforce the characteristics of Hell.

Thanos even considered taking his fleet to another location because he found it so boring after watching it so many times.

On the planet, in this fierce battle, the genes of all the aliens were purified, leaving only the most useful part, while the weaker groups were wiped out and became food for the stronger ones.

This can be described as a naked, artificial selection and evolution.

Natasha Khan, who was watching this scene from the cabin in the woods, came down.

At the beginning, the average combat strength of the aliens was only at the apprentice level, and that was the kind of apprentice level with only their bodies. If Natasha wanted to break through, even 10,000 aliens couldn't stop her.

But now that their numbers have dropped from tens of millions to a few million, their average combat strength has increased by a level. If Natasha were surrounded by more than a thousand of them, she would be at risk of dying.

And judging from the intensity of the war, they have no intention of stopping.

A few days later, even though the cabin in the woods had lifted the markings on the aliens, Natasha still became worried and began to report to her superiors.

At this point, the alien population had dwindled to just over two million, with a few intermediate-level aliens already appearing.

Pfft!

One of the alien queens was shot down from the sky. Only then did the second queen hatcher slowly crawl out from behind the army, preparing to extract the genes of the defeated one. Her tail ovipositor was several times larger than that of an ordinary alien queen, which was also a result of evolutionary selection.

The entire battlefield had quieted down. After the death of the Alien Queen, all the aliens would consciously relinquish control to their own kind.

Those aliens that cannot be controlled due to exceeding the control limit are usually directly abandoned or turned into food. Fortunately, this time, the control of the second alien is sufficient, and two million is a minor problem.

The earth suddenly trembled the instant the alien queen's ovipositor pierced the body of the loser.

The whooshing sound of flying aircraft rose from the sky, and an army that appeared out of nowhere descended upon the battlefield.

Natasha silently turned on the remote video recording. Having watched it from the backstage in the cabin in the woods for so long, she knew that this was the real final battle.
