Chapter 991: One Man Show
Leafsoul appeared in front of the recruited soldiers.
This was as dire as it could get. Though a wise man should avoid fighting an undefeatable battle, Leafsoul could not stand by and let the broodmother into the planet. Omnesflores would be destroyed the moment the Insectoids touched down. They had to be stalled at all costs.
The battles.h.i.+p at the outer rim was already executing suicidal attacks under the marshal’s command. From afar, the soldiers on the ground could see sparks explode across the fungal sheath from time to time. Each spark marked the n.o.ble sacrifice of a battles.h.i.+p and its crew.
“Everyone, reinforcement is coming from the Human Alliance. But we shouldn’t sit still and wait for someone else to save us. This is our land and we should give it our all to protect it! Stop the Insectoids at all costs!”
“Roger!”
“To battle!”
Most of them responded enthusiastically.
The few who did not were, no doubt, tourists.
Unlike his men, they would not be budged easily by his motivational speech. There was a simpler way to earn their service.
“The one who kills the most can select an S-tier G.o.d weapon from Omnesflores’s vault.”
This time, even the outsiders were drawn by the offer.
Money always spoke the loudest.
Qin Feng was not so different from the others. Of course, he still had other purposes in mind. But any extra reward was welcomed and would only make him fight slightly harder.
“Board the aircraft!”
The soldiers boarded a large airs.h.i.+p as ordered. It was three times the size of the hovercraft designed by Qin Feng. But its speed, defense, and stability were definitely beyond by threefolds.
There were about two hundred S-tiers on board. Although there should be four hundred S-tiers native to this planet, half of them must be having other duties on the planet. Discounting those that might have fallen at the frontline, the number of S-tiers on board was considered ample.
Other than the S-tiers, there were also three thousand A-tiers listed in the troop.
Even though A-tiers were capable combatants, their fate was probably going to be cannon fodders in a war of such scale. That was exactly what Leafsoul needed.
Bai Li was naturally considered as one of those A-tier expendables.
She did not care and stood close to Qin Feng. The aircraft hardly vibrated when they felt the propulsion. The aircraft took off and rocketed toward outer s.p.a.ce.
The glare created by air friction lit the sky shrouded by a sea of red.
In less than five minutes, the aircraft had entered outer s.p.a.ce. A planet largely covered in green appeared below them. That was the Omneflores.
Then, Qin Feng glanced up and saw the approaching sheath. He was a little daunted.
The sheath was vast. Its surface could probably submerge half of the planet. It was horrifying to even imagine it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The aircraft tried to burn the sheath by directing flames at it. Behind them, numerous jets appeared and joined the battle.
Bands by bands of Bloodl.u.s.t Centipedes were killed in midair.
However, the Insectoids seemed to have expected resistance. More powerful centipedes quickly filled the hole. They enlarged insanely and lunged at the aircraft.
These were all A-tier Centipedes.
No matter how powerful the mother s.h.i.+p was, it could not sustain the attack from high-tier beasts for an extended period of time. Although its firepower was great enough to fend off the A-tier beasts, it could not exterminate such a huge number of enemies at once.
Due to its size and design, the number of blasters and cannons on this s.h.i.+p was fewer than that of the Floating Castle. Even the Floating Castle could only handle a few A-tiers, not a beast wave of this scale!
“Charge!” Leafsoul bellowed and led the charge.
The others soon followed him out of the cabin.
A-tiers could fight in outer s.p.a.ce, but with handicapped strength. Only S-tiers could unleash their full potential here like when on land.
Luckily, the universe energy in this realm was rather calm. Qin Feng’s action was not affected too much in this zero-gravity s.p.a.ce.
The swarm of A-tier Bloodl.u.s.t Centipedes in front of him were way larger than the C-tiers he handled earlier. Each measured at least more than a hundred-meter long. Humans were insignificant in front of such a monstrous being.
Facing more than a thousand A-tier beasts, the apt.i.tude users held their breaths and gripped their weapons nervously. Despite the numerical advantage, the three thousand humans had little confidence going against one thousand centipedes.
What was the use of outnumbering your opponent when the size disparity was this huge? Nothing was barricading them from the beasts in this s.p.a.ce. They only had themselves to depend on.
“Internal force nebula!”
“Whirlpool of Sea!”
“Volcano Burst!”
“Storming Realm!”
The A-tiers unleashed their respective elemental domains. This could at least add a layer of protection. Besides, they were all taking cover behind the S-tiers. Otherwise, they would be crushed instantaneously.
The S-tiers held their ground. They did not want to charge recklessly.
Qin Feng had a different idea. The A-tier beasts were exactly what he came here for. In his eyes, these were valuable supplements that could enhance his bloodline and meridian.
Since the others did not want them, he gladly took them all for himself.
Qin Feng charged forward determinedly. The other apt.i.tude users, on the other hand, stopped marching forward when they saw him burst to the enemy front.
“What’s he doing?”
“Where did he come from? Why is he acting so recklessly? This is not the time for overexertion!”
“He is not one of us. Perhaps someone from the Human Alliance!”
Naturally, none of the local S-tiers knew Qin Feng. As such, none of them tried to stop him or went with him. Qin Feng was simply too close to the beasts now.
When he was near enough, Qin Feng unleashed his conscious power without reserve.
The released conscious power took the form of a beast. Dark runes burst forth from his conscious realm. Death’s aura thickened above Qin Feng and shaped the consciousness silhouette into a giant dragon head.
Then, Qin Feng triggered his consciousness, and the dragon opened its maw.
“Sovereign Roar!”
Qin Feng used the SS-tier ability almost effortlessly. Even the SS2-tier Leafsoul might not be this crafty.
The destructive force of the Sovereign Roar was jaw-dropping.
Instantly, the sound waves of the roar spread out in a fan shape and materialized into perceptible dark waves.
The dark waves engulfed the A-tier Bloodl.u.s.t Centipedes. Without much resistance, the centipedes corroded rapidly like they were being bathed in strong acid. None of them could withstand the dark waves and drown altogether in an instant.
Qin Feng’s ability covered an unbelievably large area. Be it beast king, beast emperor, or beast deity—all were swallowed by the dark waves and reduced into nothingness.
It was overkill to use the SS-tier ability on these centipedes.
After drowning the vast A-tier centipedes, Qin Feng’s body swelled with the excessive energy, to the point where he wished to burp out the fullness.
Bam!
Qin Feng’s physique had evolved to A5-tier!
