Chapter 1415: Chapter 998: Guarding the Heavenly Gate, Slaying the Demons (4K)

The Beastmen legions were bewildered by the sudden arrival of human reinforcements, with copious amounts of bloodwater pouring into the depths of the Bottom Nest, devouring all organic matter. It spawned dreadful Insect alien forms in the Blood Pool.

Numerous Beastmen soldiers became embroiled in a bitter struggle with the Insect alien forms.

Beastmen were innately noble; indeed, their Physique and reactions surpassed those of human soldiers. But against the Insect aliens, they had no chance of victory.

As the battle raged, the Insect Race grew in number, with each fallen corpse providing nourishment. Bloodwater would re-ingest both Insect Race and Beastmen alike, spawning a renewed swarm.

Beastmen indeed were a tenacious warrior race, blessed with many advantages by their Divinity. However, those strengths were no longer significant before the Insect Race.

Where Beastmen were slain, a new group might sprout the following year. Alas, this was of no consequence to the swarming insects.

Before the insect horde, Beastmen didn’t even have the chance for their corpses to decompose into fungal spores before being engulfed by the bloodwater.

In a different Battlefield environment, Beastmen might have stood their ground against the swarm by relying on their firearm firepower.

But in this close-quarters combat environment of their own choosing,

faced with a fleshier and rapidly multiplying Insect Race, the Beastmen legions began to crumble.

"Why do humans have a swarm?" roared a Beastmen player in fury after slaughtering eighteen Insect alien forms and finding his subordinates devoured, "Why would the Insect Race aid humans? Which renegade Insect Race member is it? I’ll slaughter them all!"

The Beastmen players’ hearts bled; these soldiers had stealthily developed in the Bottom Nest into something truly valuable.

Their Task was equally crucial.

With many entrances and exits in the Bottom Nest, once fully occupied, Different Race legions could traverse the giant city’s various points through it.

Their objective was to kill the human defense force here, a task not difficult for Beastmen adept at urban warfare.

To halt them, humans would need to commit over a hundred thousand troops.

This would considerably deplete the giant city’s defenses and sap its living resources in a grueling Bloody Battlefield.

Urban combat is a meat grinder, and the Beastmen were supremely confident in such fights.

Instead, they encountered the Insect Race.

They faced a powerful species that countered their own! Such despair for the Beastmen, trapped in this inescapable terrain, they could only fight the swarm to the death. Until the last Beastmen was consumed.

Their legion was ruined, and their plan had utterly failed!

Beastmen players suspected that some Insect Race players had betrayed the allied forces.

In this world, eradicating humans was the unified goal of Different Race beings. Hence, they collaborated. But Insect Race players had betrayed the alliance!

The Insect Race players were indeed bearing the brunt of the blame.

But in reality, even Insect Race players would struggle to achieve such a feat. Creating a swarm to counter armies all by themselves? That was not something an average Insect Race powerhouse could manage. The bloodwater that devoured all organic matter was beyond the replication of Insect Race players.

And now, the Beastmen faced not just any swarm, but the kin of the insect god!

The emergence of the insect god caused a "minor disturbance" in the void.

In a distant past, out of the swarm emerged a supreme Divinity. It became a natural disaster, sweeping through all realms.

Devouring worlds, slaying Divinity, unmatched by anyone.

Even some of the formidable survivors from the Champion Civilization were devoured by it. During that era, the entire void was in peril.

Until, among the remnants of the Champion Civilization, a Great Sage gathered the survivors’ power. Founding the Annihilation Civilization, they overcame the insect god.

Since then, Annihilation fully revived, integrating the ancient legacies of all survivors. Transfigured into a new Civilization, they shook the entire void!

This also led to the end of the Mythical Era in the human main world, and the Celestial Court was destroyed.

Afterward, the insect god, heavily wounded, hid in Antarctica of a world, evading pursuit from Annihilation.

Scarcely recovered and with little regained strength, it then faced the joint efforts of Chaos and Great Tang.

What followed was the story of Xuan City. A step away from liberation from its seal, it encountered Li Changhe...

Hence, nominally, it was still subdued by Li Changhe.

Eventually, it was accepted by Great Tang, their supreme emperor Li Er wielding the insect swarm in the war across the void.

Now, even its left-behind husk was enough to wreak terrible havoc. Its powerful kin, the swarm—even without direction or strategy, and driven solely by their instinct to kill—sent the Beastmen sprawling. Ripping apart their armor, devouring their flesh, harvesting countless Beastmen lives.

And the general responsible for the Beastmen’s defense at the Bottom Nest was in sheer horror.

He watched, helpless, as the Beastmen, previously difficult to handle, began collapsing under the onslaught of the swarm.

"What a dangerous existence. Has the captain actually given me such a perilous weapon?" the defense force general mused as he stared at a Jade Body Shell dripping with bloodwater not far away, whispering, "This is terrifying... if released within the giant city..."

He couldn’t believe that just this one weapon had brought such a tremendous advantage to the Bloody Battlefield in the Bottom Nest.

"So it seems... the captain has brought along such a dangerous weapon. So powerful that if it propagates endlessly... reclaiming the human world wouldn’t be difficult!" exclaimed an officer, frenetically inspired, "If we could study this power..."

But soon, Blood-colored Begonia doused their enthusiasm with a cold reality: "No, this swarm is uncontrollable. They attack the Beastmen now due to the terrain—bloodwater flowing down directly into the depths of the Bottom Nest, confronting the Beastmen face to face. Once the Beastmen are defeated, we become their next target. These aliens are kin of the insect swarm’s Divinity. With the swarm’s Divinity out of reach, we’re able to harness their power. As for reclaiming the world... it’s only we humans who can take it back!"
