Chapter 1146: Swarm of Desperation

Even the Astro Infestation Ants and Winged Void Ant attacking the particle storm were called back, turning their attention toward Kenny Lin and the spacecraft.

The sheer number of space insectoids was staggering, forming a dense swarm so vast it made one’s skin crawl and mind falter.

Khalil and Tariq still inside the spacecraft, were overwhelmed by the sight.

They understood their own limits too well; even with preparations, an unshakable fear clawed its way into their hearts.

Their bodies trembled as they stared at the looming wave of death, unsure if they could endure the horror.

Amalia stepped out of the spacecraft, gazing at the black ants and white ants swarming below the ship.

In her hand, a blade materialized.

The next moment, Khalil and Tariq watching from inside the spacecrt, saw something streaking through space.

One after another, the Winged Void Ant at the forefront began falling, their bodies disintegrating in the vacuum of space.

Zooming in the camera feed, they finally got a clearer look at the phenomenon.

It appeared to be composed of some kind of gaseous substance.

"What on earth are those?" Tariq asked, perplexed.

As the space insectoids perished one by one, his fear began to dissipate, replaced with awe.

"I have no idea," Khalil replied enviously. "But I think it’s likely the source of their incredible combat power. If I had such power, I’d never fear these space insectoids again—not even aliens would stand a chance against me."

The Space Insectoid Queen went into a frenzy.

Her immense psychic power commanded the swarms of space insectoids from nearby planets and urging them to come here.

Meanwhile, on the cosmic battleship, Officer Khan and his crew stared at the magnified display screen.

Amalia’s spacecraft was now completely engulfed by a sea of space insectoids.

The crew couldn’t help but rub their arms, trying to suppress the goosebumps crawling over their skin.

"My god, there are so many space insectoids here. Just the ones we see now must number in the tens of billions."

"If all tens of billions of them fully emerge, no number of planets could stop them from wiping everything out."

"Commander, are they going to be okay?"

The crew expressed growing concern for Amalia and the others.

If something happened to them, how could they possibly report back to the Major General?

"They’ll be fine," Officer Khan assured them, recalling what Waleed had told him. "They’ve taken down entire planets before—there’s nothing they can’t handle."

Although the spacecraft appeared completely surrounded by space insectoids, none of the creatures could actually get close to it.

"I’ve never destroyed an entire planet before," Kenny Lin remarked suddenly.

Amalia turned her head, smiling faintly. "Don’t destroy it yet. This Planet Umbra hasn’t fully reached its end. I’d like to try something first."

"It’s close to its end regardless," Kenny Lin replied. "Even if these little big leave, this planet won’t survive much longer."

"Let me try communicating with it first," Amalia said eagerly. "I had a faint sense earlier—perhaps I can test it on these space insectoids."

"Should we consult with Wealth first?" Kenny Lin suggested. "After all, there are still the residents from Shadron inside the small world. If we scare them, they might never dare to live in the small world again."

"Fair enough," Amalia agreed, immediately contacting Welath in the small world and explaining the situation briefly.

"You’re suggesting directly merging a living planet into the small world?" Wealth replied in surprise.

"Although we can kill these space insectoids, there are too many of them. Even if we slay their Queen, the rest of them won’t give up. This would still hinder our energy extraction plans," Amalia explained.

"In theory, when two worlds merge, only inanimate objects should be affected," Wealth responded hesitantly.

Amalia’s expression shifted. "So, if I directly consume this energy planet, the energy within it would also be absorbed by the small world?"

"Unless you can consciously control the process, which might still be too challenging for you," Wealth replied.

"consciously control the process?"

"Mother, your cultivation level is still too low. Even if you want to control it, you wouldn’t have the capability yet."

"Understood," Amalia said, withdrawing her divine senses. She turned to Kenny Lin, who asked, "How did it go?"

"I’ll try it with Planet Umbra first. Can you hold off the Space Insectoid Queen?"

The Space Insectoid Queen’s psychic power had reached the early stage of divine sense, meaning it would almost certainly detect any intrusion.

"That’s easy," Kenny Lin replied.

Without hesitation, his divine sense transformed into a sharp needle that pierced directly at the Space Insectoid Queen.

The Space Insectoid Queen let out a pained scream.

Seizing the opportunity, Amalia reached out to communicate with the consciousness of Planet Umbra.

The planet’s will was still present, though it was on the brink of collapse.

Its body had been riddled with countless holes by the burrowing space insectoids.

Even if the space insectoids were exterminated, the planet itself would not recover.

It would merely decay at a slower pace.

Fueled by its deep-seated hatred for the space insectoids, Planet Umbra’s consciousness agreed without hesitation to merge with Amalia.

The process of merging was not without commotion.

As soon as the planet began collapsing, the Space Insectoid Queen noticed it.

Her psychic power reverberated like a sharp, terrified scream, transmitting fear and urgency to the minds of all the space insectoids nearby.

The space insectoids immediately went berserk.

Their Queen was in danger—they had to rescue her.

In an instant, all the space insectoids surged forth in a massive swarm.

From the spaceship, Khalil and Tariq watched in shock as countless space insectoids emerged from the surfaces of the planets surrounding Planet Noctis and Planet Umbra.

In the blink of an eye, a massive tide of insects formed, dwarfing anything they had ever encountered in simulated training.

This swarm was hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of times larger.

The simulated swarms in their training were modeled after the space insectoid invasions the Empire had faced fifty years ago, designed to show soldiers the true terror of the space insectoids and to strengthen their resolve.
