Chapter 2974: Blockade

The Alliance’s lockdown on the Seed of Ouroboros had continued intermittently for five days.

During that period, the insect nest launched several riots.

The Shadow Clan relied on their high-strength racial talent and dependent technology weapons to forcibly control the Seed of Ouroboros. In the end, every outbreak from the insect nest was pushed back into the sealed-off area by the Shadow Clan using special abilities.

Finally, all the Star Eye prisms were fully constructed, officially completing the ritual for link positioning.

The Shadow Clan sent messages to the various alliances, summoning all fleets to prepare for the final battle.

On the human side, their fleet only participated in defending the Prism Tower of District 6 during the final battle, which was a relatively light mission. Thus, Fang Heng accepted the Shadow Clan’s invitation to board their main flagship and join in the main battlefield mission.

On the deck of the Shadow Clan’s flagship, all the participating allied races gathered.

Tens of thousands of warships surrounded the central battlefield, tightly restricting the movement range of the swarm.

Gisele and his group of players were left in awe as they witnessed the scene before them.

Compared to this scale of combat, their previous operation against the SS-level insect nest felt like child’s play.

The sky was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

With intense purple spatial fluctuations, a massive cannon barrel emerged from the torn sky above.

The barrel turned to aim at the dense swarm gathering below.

“Energy bombardment!!”

Boom!!!

Blinding purple light blossomed!

In an instant, the swarm directly exposed to the light beam was turned to ash.

The violent purple light beam assault lasted for a full twenty minutes before gradually ceasing.

The area ahead, once occupied by creep, was now completely cleared.

Numerous warships began advancing toward the center!

On the barren ground, large numbers of leaping worms surged forward in a tight formation from afar.

In this world, the mutant worm creatures were of an extremely high level. There were two main types among the combat units. One type possessed powerful jumping ability and extreme speed, capable of leaping up to twenty times their body height, and was called leaping worms.

The other type was a special flying unit known as poison-winged worms.

Like the leaping worms, poison-winged worms were small in size and flew at high speeds, but they had difficulty maneuvering mid-air and were usually eliminated almost instantly by the overwhelming firepower of the warships on the frontlines.

Still, they were equally dangerous.

Once a poison-winged worm got close to an enemy, it would self-destruct, bursting with highly acidic liquid from within. This liquid inflicted massive damage to energy barriers and various alloy metals.

The allied warships immediately opened fire ahead, spraying blood mist in the distance.

More leaping worms trampled over the corpses of their companions to launch continuous assaults.

From even farther away, the massive forms of large mutant worms began to appear.

Spiked elephant worms.

Elephant worms were rare large combat units among mutant worms, with bodies resembling giant elephants. They rampaged through the battlefield, mainly attacking through physical charges. Their powerful armored bodies could absorb damage and had excellent regenerative abilities.

Faced with the onslaught of the mutant worm swarm, the warships began to unleash their trump cards.

Fang Heng stood aside, observing quietly.

It was fascinating.

The Shadow Clan, initiator of this mission, was also the most powerful race in the entire alliance.

They could release shadow orbs.

Under the effect of the dark-colored orbs, the mutant worm lifeforms were forcibly pulled in place, unable to move.

Hmm?

Fang Heng suddenly perceived the aura of the Seed of Ouroboros. He couldn’t help but raise his head and squint into the distance.

It was close now. It seemed the SSS-level insect nest fusion form had also detected the familiar aura on him.

As the battleships pushed forward, everyone could already see the silhouette of the SSS-level insect nest in the distance.

The giant insect nest sprawled across the land like a small raised hill. Its outer surface was covered in dark purple chitin, wrinkled and ravaged like volcanic rock. Tens of thousands of reddish-brown vessels penetrated deep into the creep like blood vessels, and the entire nest pulsed and throbbed constantly.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Huh?

Layers of thick fungal chitin continued to peel off the outer shell of the nest.

The chitin layers fell to the ground and quickly condensed into pulsing flesh cocoons.

Huh?

Fang Heng couldn’t help but express a note of confusion in his heart.

It was actually Seed of Ouroboros polymers!

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Two cocoons suddenly exploded!

From within the cocoons, two humanoid Seeds of Ouroboros burst out and swiftly blended into the swarm, charging toward the warships!

Fang Heng kept his eyes locked on the polymers.

On the outside, they barely maintained a humanoid form, but inside their bodies, twisted countless tiny mutant worms. Lacking skeletal support, their movements appeared disturbingly unnatural.

Two high-tier Shadow Clan warriors on the battlefield immediately stepped forward, attempting to control the Seeds of Ouroboros using shadow orbs.

Under the light of the shadow orbs, the shadows of the two humanoid Seeds of Ouroboros were rapidly stretched, and their movement speed dropped drastically.

Focused fire!!

“Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!”

Hundreds of concentrated energy light beam weapons from the warships simultaneously locked onto the Seeds of Ouroboros and opened fire!

“Boom! Boom boom boom!!!!”

The two Seed of Ouroboros polymers exploded under the concentrated beam assault!

Hmm?

The battle wasn’t over yet.

The scattered mutant worms from the explosions squirmed toward the center, quickly gathering again. In the blink of an eye, the Seed of Ouroboros condensed back into humanoid form and rushed toward the warships!

And they weren’t alone. More and more Seed of Ouroboros polymers continued to emerge from the bursting cocoons, joining the front lines.

Aboard the flagship, the observing races all wore heavy expressions.

There was a faint sense that they might not win?

Even after suffering destructive damage, the Seed of Ouroboros polymers could revive through some unknown ability–an extremely troublesome foe.

The Shadow Clan captain said gravely, “Don’t let them get close to the ships.”

“Understood.”

Seeing this, the major participating races all dispatched squads to intercept the Seed of Ouroboros polymers.

Each race had their own strengths and faced the revival-capable Seeds of Ouroboros without falling behind.

Though they couldn’t completely wipe out the Seeds of Ouroboros, keeping them within the perimeter of the defense line wasn’t a problem.

Captain Gisele stood at the rear of the crowd, watching from afar. He treated this operation as a chance to gain experience, silently staying alert.

Compared to the other races with special abilities, humanity was indeed rather weak.

Honestly, the fact that humanity had survived this long without being attacked by alien races was already a miracle.

Perhaps it was simply because the human world had no valuable mineral resources, so they hadn’t attracted the attention of extraterrestrial life forms?

From some perspectives, the Black Fog had actually given them a chance to become stronger?

Was the Black Fog game a disaster or a blessing?

Gisele shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

“The Red-Eye Clan is pretty strong, too. They can completely eliminate those pesky Seeds of Ouroboros…”

The Crocodile Clan captain who had come to observe the battle suddenly turned toward Fang Heng and brought the topic to the humans, saying, “Captain Fang Heng, this is your human race’s first time joining the alliance battlefield. Want to show us what you’ve got?”
