The Might of the Insect Swarm

Soon, a second wave of insects surged in like a tide.

Eden Defense Line activated the Formation Diagram again, and the insects were easily killed. However, there was a subtle sense of unease.

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave...

When these insects reached the seventh wave, Eden's frontline Commander finally realized something was wrong.

Each time these insects were wiped out, the next wave of insects could withstand the same attack for a longer time. Because this time increased very slowly, the Commander did not notice it immediately.

However, by the seventh wave, these insects were able to withstand the bombardment of the Formation for twice as long as the first wave.

"They are evolving."

Upon receiving the situation report from the frontline Commander, the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan felt as if they were suddenly tasting a bitter flavor they hadn't experienced in countless years.

"The most terrifying thing about these insects is their adaptability to the environment and attacks. And clearly, these beasts know how to exploit their advantages. The waves of troops they sent were all the most basic units, yet we had to defend ourselves and wipe them all out, which gave them the opportunity to evolve..."

These insects have undergone several rounds of evolution, and their individual strength has long surpassed what it was before. They are now approaching the Junior Machine Puppet of the Machine Puppet Divine Court. In the Void environment, even those Junior Machine Puppet, each with the combat power of Nascent Soul Stage, would find it difficult to predict the outcome in a one-on-one fight against these giant insects.

Even if only one of these things is put in the back, it would be a huge disaster, because according to the new research results of the Machine God, the Procreation ability of these insects is astonishing. If each of them falls into the center of another race and is not killed immediately, then it will not only be two flowers blooming, but the result will be flowers blooming everywhere.

"Hold the line."

The Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan transmitted this order back to the front-line Command Post, and then re-established communication with Le Zhentian's side.

"Your Majesty, please dispatch the Consciousness Demon Forces to prepare for aiding the front lines."

On the front lines, the troops who received the reply from Eden Center continued to hold their ground. Relying on the Killing Array set up by the Immortals, these troops achieved what could be described as the most impressive kill-to-death ratio in countless years.

Facing countless insects with strength comparable to the Machine Puppet Divine Court's forces, their casualties so far have been zero.

However, no one in the army was happy about this result, because on the front line, it was clear to the naked eye that the insects were able to hold out for longer and longer under the siege of the various Divine Light, elements, Sword Qi of the Killing Array, and were able to advance further and further.

Just now, a giant insect, located 500 Void Distance (a unit used by the Eden Regime and the Machine Puppet Divine Court to measure Void distances) from the defensive line, suddenly spewed out a large amount of energy from under its wings.

It surged forward like a rocket, successfully entering the defensive line and reaching the range of the Void Spaceship's Ship Cannons.

Fortunately, Eden Forces's Fire-Control Radar was quite advanced, and it fired a shell at the giant worm the moment it charged in, thus revealing the battered worm. Otherwise, given the worms' ability to move in the Void, they might have actually been able to break through to the range of the Close-Defense Guns.

All the troops who learned of this scene were ashen-faced. Ahead lay an endless tide of Insect Race, and behind them lay their hard-won, barely-warmed homeland. Now, here, none of them could retreat even a single step.

The battle remained deadlocked, and the insects gradually changed. Strange biological coatings began to appear on their carapaces, and Runes- like patterns grew, specifically targeting the Killing Array set up by the Immortal Realm.

Finally, after withstanding more than a hundred waves of insects, a swarm of completely mutated Insect Race appeared on the battlefields in front of the Eden Forces' defensive line.

These insects were several times larger and more robust than the ordinary giant insects from before. They seemed to have completely given up their ability to attack. Their entire bodies were covered with thick, Tower Shield -like carapaces, engraved with dense patterns that enhanced their resistance to elemental damage and energy attacks such as array lights and Sword Qi. Their forelimbs had also completely transformed into two thick Tower Shield, blocking their most vulnerable joints and internal organs.

Their hind limbs have also completely abandoned their explosive lunge ability, and the proportion of muscle expansion has been reduced. Instead, the entire hind limb has become a thick, powerful leg with a hoof-like structure underneath.

Beneath the horseshoe-shaped structures of these insects are inscribed the website hetushu. com. com. They gained the ability to walk and dash through the Void by devouring Runes stolen from some of Eden's instruments, granting these flightless insects the power to do so.

These insects, carrying Tower Shield, slowly approached the defensive line, resembling Mobile fortresses. When they combined into a single force, they seemed like a vast, Mobile wall stretching across the Void.

Countless dazzling rays of light shot out from the Immortal Realm Killing Array, swirling and bombarding the insects Runes. However, the runes on the insects' bodies glowed, forming a barrier that completely negated these Missile- like projectiles.

Only when the Killing Array gathers its power and forms beams of light can it penetrate the thick carapace and cut these Fortress Bug in half.

However, after they die, new Fortress Bug immediately appear behind them, taking the place of their fallen kin and maintaining the entire defensive line. A Killing Array can only gather about a hundred beams of light, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the number of these bugs.

Despite the onslaught of the Killing Array, these insects, clearly concealing something, gradually approached the Eden Forces' defensive line.

"We can't let them get any closer."

The frontline Commander had a chilling premonition about what these insects were concealing; it was definitely not something good. So they all pleaded, "Requesting reinforcements from the Immortal Realm Consciousness Demon Forces!"

At the same time, the assault force formed by the Fortress Bug had successfully broken into the range of the Ship Cannons.

On the defensive line, countless Ship Cannons roared in unison, their barrage of fire relentlessly bombarding the insects.

However, facing the insects that were fearless even in the Immortal Realm's Killing Array, the Eden Forces' Ship Cannons were naturally of little effect. Only after being bombarded by countless cannon fire would these Fortress Bug unwillingly fall on their way to charge.

This was clearly a very dangerous distance, and Eden's frontline Commander didn't believe that these Fortress Bug would simply be slowly advancing while holding their large shields.

As expected, after approaching for some distance, shimmering patterns began to appear on the legs of these Fortress Bug, sending a very dangerous signal to Eden's forces.

But at that moment, some of the Fortress Bug the array that were emitting light suddenly went berserk. They raised their shields and smashed them hard on the heads of their companions.
