The Predator, Aliens, and humans had been locked in a Three-way Melee for about a day. Once Chang Wei confirmed that all of them had been covered by his Blacklight Virus microorganisms, he decided it was time to wipe them out in one sweep.

"Looks like it's time to harvest."

Chang Wei looked over the situation. The humans were nearly finished.

With the Predators joining the battle, the advantage of humanity's military weapons was quickly erased.

Although they soon researched, detected, and discovered the cloaked Predators, the Predators were agile and possessed Individual soldier anti-tank—and even anti-fortress—weapons like the Predator Shoulder Cannon. A single shot could destroy human military structures and defensive positions.

Even when the humans deployed saturation bombing, treating them like snipers—if I don't know where you're hiding, I can still take you out with a heavy bomb or an airstrike!

However, aside from a handful of unlucky Predators, none of the others were taken out by such methods.

Their physical capabilities and stamina Far exceeds those of humans, and their mobility rivaled cars at top speed. In addition, the Predators possessed excellent interception systems; their Plasma Shoulder Cannons were enough to intercept most bombs and missiles.

Unless humanity truly went all out with ground-clearing artillery shells, bombs, and missile strikes, they could not inflict many casualties on the Predators.

Especially since the equipment on these Predators Far exceeds that of the Jungle Predator the Governor had fought. Once they discovered that humans could detect their cloaking, they swiftly altered its state, turning humanity into blind men with Open Eyes once more, utterly unable to find them.

Predators hated being disturbed while hunting, especially when humanity's weapons had exceeded the limits. It was not that they did not allow humans to have weapons.

Cold weapons and Modern Weapons were both acceptable. Even large-caliber machine guns and anti-materiel sniper rifles were not a problem, As long as they were Individual soldier equipment.

But fighter jets and tanks went too far. They prevented the Predators from enjoying the thrill of hunting, the danger of slaughter, and the tense excitement.

Thus, after several Blood-stained Ones—adult Predators—died, the Predators chose to deal with the humans first.

Then, under the double assault of Predators and Aliens, human casualties suddenly skyrocketed.

"Invisible Killer!"

Chang Wei sent out an electrical signal. The next moment, the Blacklight Virus microorganisms covering the bodies of the Predators and Aliens, as well as the areas around them, began changing shape.

If someone observed them with a Highest Level microscope, they would have seen that their originally fuzzy, tentacle-like structures had all turned into tiny, clawing creatures that began gnawing at their targets.

The humans, Predators, and Aliens had already started noticing that something was wrong. The corpses they killed mysteriously vanished, some even disappearing right In front of them.

At first, they thought it was caused by Alien acid. Only after corpses untouched by acid also vanished did they become vigilant.

Yet no matter what they did, they found it difficult to detect the microorganism-level Blacklight Virus unless they used specialized equipment for observation.

After Chang Wei issued the devouring command, the Aliens visibly "decomposed" and "melted."

This caused the Aliens to frantically attack the air around them. They squeezed corrosive fluid from their wounds with brute force, spraying it everywhere in an attempt to harm the unseen enemy.

Naturally, it was futile.

The Predator Xenomorph, which had already burst from its cocoon and undergone Gigantification, was in such unbearable pain that it charged madly out of the Nest, smashing through who knew how many things. Under its agonized command, countless Facehuggers and Aliens crawled over its body and mutilated themselves, spreading corrosive fluid all over the Predator Xenomorph.

Although the Blacklight Virus microorganisms possessed tenacious Life Force and resistance in every aspect, they could not withstand such an overwhelming dose of corrosive fluid and were reduced to nothing.

Then, the Predator Xenomorph, more than half-devoured, quickly recovered. The Aliens' Recovery ability, which completely disregarded the Law of Conservation of Energy, was utterly unreasonable. They could rapidly restore themselves without feeding, which was why Chang Wei said it was practically like having a locked health bar.

Unless they were killed outright, even if they were on their last breath, Aliens could quickly recover.

Chang Wei showed no reaction to the Predator Xenomorph escaping disaster. Mainly, he was not in a hurry. At worst, he could devour it later.

As for the cloaked Predators, they fared no better than the Aliens—if anything, they were worse off.

Electrical currents surged through all their equipment, and their cloaking immediately failed. The Blacklight Virus microorganisms had damaged their camouflage; more than half of the mesh nets used to carry weapons and maintain their invisibility had been devoured.

"Roar—!!!"

Even battle-hardened elite Predators and Blood-stained Ones could not endure the agony of being gnawed all over their bodies. It was not merely pain, but a deadly itch that forced the Predators to frantically claw at their own flesh.

The Blacklight Virus microorganisms then invaded their flesh and blood, and these Predators instantly wished they were dead. Battle-hardened as they were, they immediately swung their Wrist Blades and spears around them, trying to kill the invisible lurkers.

There will be a huge update once the book goes premium. Right now, I'm building up recommendation slots, recommendation votes, monthly votes, and bookmarks, so updates are a little slower. But I definitely will not stop updating or abandon the story. I only ask readers to give it some support.

The first round of new-book recommendations is starting now. Please, make sure to read through to the latest chapter. Only then can this book's effective follow-up readership meet the standard and qualify for the second round of new-book recommendations.

And there is another benefit to staying on recommendation slots: it delays the premium release, so you'll get to read more free chapters.
