Leviathan's Mutation!

Leviathan's body writhed in agony, each breath accompanied by the creaking of his bones.

"Broodmother Queen of the distant Insect Star! Leviathan begs for your protection!!"

"For the Zerg, for the supreme Insect Star, please bestow upon us the blessing of fertility!!"

As the giant worm faced death, it seemed to be letting out a final roar towards the sky.

The sound permeated the entire Instance! It echoed in every corner.

Strange, cold, and filled with endless misery.

It felt like crying out in an endless abyss.

At the same time, the Dimensional Gate seemed to be emitting surging and continuous fluctuations, like the waves of the ocean, repeatedly impacting the boundaries of the dimensions!

It was as if countless lives were stirring on the other side of the door, yearning to break free of their constraints and surge into this Universe!

In that instant, the two Leviathans in the East African Rift Valley and the Leviathan above the Pharaoh Country began to glow with a strange green light.

The light, like frosted glass in a dream, gently covered their enormous bodies.

This made their already enormous bodies appear even more bizarre and ugly.

Bathed in a soft, mysterious green light, the wounds on Leviathan's massive body, which had been torn open by the sharp blades of the White Tiger Armored Warriors, miraculously began to surge with a vibrant power.

Those hideous cracks, as if gently smoothed by an invisible hand, healed at an astonishing speed, radiating a faint silver glow!

"All Dragon Country warriors! Continue the attack!"

Tens of millions of Dragon Country White Tiger Armored Warriors continued to frantically slash at Leviathan's back with their molten weapons. Each slash was accompanied by a piercing hiss—the sound of metal rubbing against the monster's hide!

The Azure Dragon Tactical Mecha Array also noticed the Leviathan's anomaly immediately, pointing its laser cannons at the Leviathan and launching an even more ferocious attack in coordination with the White Tiger Warriors.

Intensified firepower rained down on the giant insects like Rainstorm. Each explosion was accompanied by a deafening roar, and Leviathan's body twisted even more violently from the shockwaves!

Even so, the damage the Classic of Mountains and Seas Corps inflicted on Leviathan couldn't keep up with Leviathan's recovery speed.

Every time a piece of Leviathan's flesh was torn away, the wound would completely heal within a second. Accompanied by the giant worm's writhing movements, all the artillery fire seemed to have never existed.

The giant insect's regenerative abilities seemed to have increased dozens of times in an instant!

"Humble Earthlings, have you witnessed the power of the Insect Star?"

"With Her Majesty the Queen's protection, I will never die! I will multiply endlessly, my life will never cease!"

"Die! You pathetic bunch of monkeys!"

With this astonishing self-healing ability, Leviathan's Counterattack became even more frenzied. They began to twist their bodies wildly, trying to shake off the White Tiger Armored Warriors on their backs.

At the same time, they launched even more ferocious venomous projectiles and spikes at the Dragon Country's army.

Clearly, that eerie green light not only doubled Leviathan's self-healing speed, but also accelerated the production of various corrosive substances within their bodies!

This green light acted as a catalyst, fully unleashing Leviathan's potential.

After Leviathan launches an attack, it enters a very long cooldown period.

But now, they can attack almost endlessly! Without the slightest pause or interruption.

Leviathan seems to have entered an infinite firepower state! It's as if their abdomens contain an inexhaustible arsenal.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Under this frenzied attack, the White Tiger Armored Warriors and Azure Dragon Mecha of the Dragon Country were caught somewhat off guard.

The air was thick with the smell of metal and gunpowder.

Several Azure Dragon Tactical Mecha were directly hit by the corrosive shells, causing the mech parts to corrode rapidly, emitting a hissing sound!

That was the agonizing sound of metal coming into contact with corrosive substances; the traces of corrosion spread across the mech like Centipedes.

Many White Tiger Armored Warriors were like chess pieces on a chessboard, their backs knocked off by the giant insect Leviathan.

Some soldiers were flung directly into the air; others were struck by Leviathan's tail and sent flying instantly.

Fortunately, the soldiers under the Classic of Mountains and Seas Project were well-trained and did not panic.

After a simple adjustment, it took to the sky again using the rocket jet system.

As for the injured Azure Dragon Mecha and White Tiger Armored Warriors, they were directly transferred to the Mirage for simple repairs and maintenance.

After regrouping, they once again engaged in fierce combat with the giant Leviathan using the most advanced modern weapons available to the Dragon Country.

However, after this wave of attacks, Leviathan's offensive seemed to be completely different from before. Even with the massive numbers of the Dragon Country's Classic of Mountains and Seas Corps, coupled with the fierce bombardment from the sea base, they were unable to gain any advantage over Leviathan.

The Leviathan's various biological projectiles are firing at a faster speed, and its spawning speed is also increasing!

The Hatchery Pools on the ground have been revitalized, resembling nests that breed disaster. The insects that were once slaughtered in the East African Rift Valley are now appearing in these Hatchery Pools on an even larger scale.

They wriggled and struggled, as if trying to break free from the pool and sweep across the land once more.

"That's so strange!"

"What on earth just happened on top of the giant worms?! We were about to defeat them, and then they suddenly went berserk!"

"After that green light, Leviathan's attack power and reproductive capacity seemed completely different from before."

"And... his damn regenerative abilities are simply incredible! No matter how much we fight him, he can recover in the shortest amount of time."

The Azure Dragon Mecha and White Tiger Armored Warriors exchanged strategic signals.

Everyone is quite puzzled by Leviathan's current state.

The anomaly that just occurred in Leviathan is completely outside the technological system of Earth Online.

"This information must be conveyed to Alliance Chief Ding Chang."

In the Livestream Room for the Instance.

The spectators on Azure Star were once again dumbfounded.

The Earth Allied Forces thought they had victory in the bag, but after this wave of attacks, the war took a new turn!

Moreover, it's quite obvious that the Zerg have come up with another method that no one can understand.

Fortunately, no one in the Livestream Room started to speak ill of Lin Ye anymore; everyone was just a little panicked.

When there is no hope, people will have no expectations.

Lin Ye has already given everyone hope. If that hope is ultimately dashed, it will be even more despairing than having no hope at all.

If Lin Ye still loses in the end, and Azure Star still loses half of its resources, that would be utterly disgusting.

What exactly is going on? Can anyone who knows explain?

[The Azure Dragon Mecha and White Tiger Armored Warriors of the Dragon Country were originally about to directly kill the Leviathans, but inexplicably, these Leviathans suddenly regenerated.]

[This is so weird, damn it! Firmament is totally cheating!]

[It must be open! Otherwise, it's completely inexplicable by science.]

[Just now, Leviathan cried out for the Queen's protection as it lay dying. Is their current berserk state related to the Insect Star?]

[If this is related to the Insect Star, things will be very troublesome. If these three Leviathans on Earth are like this, how terrifying must the Insect Star's military force be!]

[Everyone, please stop talking. We just need to trust Lin Ye. Before, everyone thought the Zerg were invincible, but the Earth Allied Forces still won, didn't they?]

[This is really tough, God Ye! Are you in the Livestream Room? Could you say something to comfort everyone?]

[God Ye! You must still have a trump card up your sleeve, right?]

[...]

The Livestream Room descended into chaos once again, a scene Lin Ye naturally witnessed.

This time, however, his expression was indeed more serious.

It's time to get serious.

"That's really a bit strange."

"I never expected these insects to have such a clever trick up their sleeves."

The sudden change in Leviathan was indeed beyond his expectations; there was no way to deny it.

Moreover, according to his judgment, all of this must be related to the Broodmother of the Insect Star.

The Broodmother must have a close connection with Leviathan, a relationship that allows her to remotely control it even through Dimensional Gate!

Leviathan was on the verge of destruction, but the Broodmother used some tricks to bring Leviathan back to full health.

Moreover, all data indicators have been significantly improved!

It's like taking a strong drug.

Lin Ye now fully understands the underlying logic of Zerg construction.

Insect Star Broodmother -- Leviathan Giant Insect -- Other Insects

This is a three-tiered hierarchical relationship!

To wipe out the Zerg from Earth, you must first destroy the Leviathan Giant Insect!

In the current state, to eliminate all Leviathans, the Insect Star Broodmother be eliminated first.

Regardless of what methods the Broodmother used, it's highly likely that directly killing the Broodmother would cause all the mechanisms to automatically collapse.

Lin Ye truly hadn't expected that these seemingly mindless Zerg would actually have such a complex mechanism.

Fortunately, their own Instance technology was advanced enough, and the Earth Allied Forces was strong enough. If it were an Instance with low-level technology, they might not have been able to uncover the secrets of the Heart of the Swarm in the end.

Putting all your effort into eliminating ordinary insect swarms is a waste of time and energy.

"Interesting..."

"It seems I really underestimated the Firmament."

"However... hmph, this is probably your limit."

Although it was somewhat unexpected, it was far from enough to make Lin Ye panic.

This kind of mechanism doesn't reflect real combat power; at best, it's just a trick.

To be honest, the top technologies from the two most advanced countries on Earth Online haven't even been deployed yet.

The most advanced military forces haven't even appeared yet!

In Universe warfare, the most formidable force is naturally the Universe power that evolved from the Air Force.

Warship culture can actually be seen as a marker of a civilization's entry into the Interstellar Age!

Two of the five Five Permanent Members of the Earth Online now possess air power.

One is the Dragon Country's Nantianmen Project, and the other is the Eagle Sauce Country's Star Wars Project.

Compared to the previous version of the Great Wall Watch, Lin Ye made many improvements to the Nantianmen Project.

A large number of new Tactical Mecha and Aerospace Fighters have been added! The number of Luan Bird Aerospace Battleship has also been increased.

Needless to say, the Eagle Sauce Country's Star Wars Project is entirely a product of benchmarking against Dragon Country's aviation capabilities, and it also includes a large number of top-tier Universe and various mech warriors.

Its overall strength is no less than that of the Nantianmen Project.

To be precise, Earth Online's current technology tree is just the beginning. Things like those from the Rooster Country and the Rotten Cow Country are not yet up to the average Level of Interstellar War.

However, the Nantianmen Project is different from the Star Wars Project. These two projects were designed entirely for Interstellar War, and the operational environment they considered was enemy planets on a Universe scale.

With two top-tier Interstellar War -level combatants, Lin Ye was quite confident in taking down a Broodmother Queen.

Furthermore, and most importantly, the Eagle Sauce Country actually possesses another powerful weapon: the only Stellar-Class Nuclear Bomb in Earth Online!

It was installed on one of the Universe Spaceships in the Star Wars Project.

If all else fails, this nuclear bomb will just blow up the entire planet; I bet that Broodmother will die!

Lin Ye had faith in the weapons he had designed, and even more so in the intelligence of the NPCs in his Instance!

Earth Online.

The atmosphere above the Africa continent.

The atmosphere in the Command Cabin of Luan Bird Airborne Platform No. 1 was tense and solemn!

Alliance Chief Ding Chang and the Eagle Sauce President are standing upright around a large strategic screen, observing the state of the Earth's surface in real time.

Through joint monitoring by all satellites across the Earth, they could clearly see the battle between the Earth Allied Forces and the Zerg.

Ding Chang had just received an alarm signal from the ground.

One signal is that Leviathan itself has very strong attack power and plays a very strong leadership role for the Zerg. Without eliminating the giant Leviathan, the Zerg cannot be wiped out.

Another sign is that Leviathan seems to have entered an incredible state, which is most likely related to the Broodmother of the Insect Star. If the Broodmother is not destroyed, Leviathan's exaggerated self-healing speed is almost impossible for humans to resist.

Ding Chang frowned immediately.

It must be said that neither of these two pieces of news is good news.

"President Trump, it seems we must cross the Dimensional Gate immediately!" Ding Chang said slowly, puffing on his cigarette.

"The current situation is not optimistic."

His original plan was to wait until the war on Earth reached its climax before crossing the Dimensional Gate and catching the Insect Star off guard.

It seems that without eliminating the Broodmother, Earth definitely won't be able to hold out!

With the current strength of the Earth Allied Forces, they can definitely hold out for a while longer.

But if victory is desired, the entire burden now rests on the Universe Fleets of Dragon Country and the Eagle Sauce Country!
