The Match with the Star Spirits Begins

After the group piloted their Starship to a plain, they saw "General Zhang" sitting atop a mountain of corpses belonging to their men.

"Don't get too close, something's wrong with him," someone on the spaceship said.

"You guys wait here, I'll go take a look myself!" Old Wang.

"We'll go with you!" said one of General Zhang's men.

Zhang Yi could never bring all his men with him on every mission, so these men were among those who escaped unscathed.

They went with Old Wang because they were afraid Old Wang would use this opportunity to eliminate his rivals.

They didn't know if Old Wang would do it, but if it were them, they wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

After looking at it, Old Wang nodded in agreement. He figured if he wanted to go, he could; he just wanted to see what was happening there.

Old Wang led a few people to where Zhang Yi was, and he sensed something was wrong from afar.

"Psionic Energy? What's this about Mutant Insect? Everyone, stop for now," Old Wang said, sensing the energy around him.

However, although he stopped, Zhang Yi's men did not.

But as soon as they got close to Zhang Yi, spikes shot out from under the corpse, piercing them all.

This unexpected turn of events startled everyone on the ship, and they quickly moved away from the area.

Then a strange-looking Mutant Insect crawled out of the corpse, and Zhang Yi hung on its head.

This is a Legendary High-Tier Mutant Insect, Old Wang could vaguely see some of Zhang Yi's Six-Armed Wisdom King's shadow on its body.

It seems he's truly dead, and killed by the Mutant Insect.

After the giant Mutant Insect emerged, it roared in Old Wang's direction and charged towards Old Wang rapidly.

It must lack Intelligence, otherwise it wouldn't be so reckless.

Old Wang brought out Lao Naiser and went all out against the enemy; they quickly clashed.

This Mutant Insect clearly inherited the power of the Six-Armed Wisdom King; when Old Wang confronted it head-on, he couldn't gain any advantage.

It's worth noting that Old Wang could even directly confront Legendary Ninth Rank opponent, which shows just how powerful they were.

Their battle was fierce and chaotic, causing changes to the entire Planet's tectonic plates.

This is what Legendary battle between powerful warriors should look like. The people on the spaceship suspect that this is not the actual scene of General Zhang's murder.

The battle between Old Wang and the Mutant Insect lasted for half a day. Although the Mutant Insect was no match for Old Wang, its vitality was truly vigorous.

Even Old Wang chopped off his head, it was unaffected, but in the end, Old Wang still managed to wear him down to death.

After all, neither the opponent's Lightning Domain nor their physical strength could harm Old Wang in the slightest.

"Send a message back to the Alliance: General Zhang Yi died at the hands of the Mutant Insect. Issue a bounty for the Mutant Insect remnants and ensure they don't return," Old Wang said to everyone after returning to the spaceship.

Everyone immediately complied upon hearing this. They were well aware of the power of the Mutant Insect, and besides, General Huang had already met his end.

After the message was sent back to the Alliance, the Alliance also sent a copy to the Star Spirit, but the Star Spirit didn't pay much attention to it.

The Star Spirit understand the Mutant Insect better than humans; they know exactly what the Overmind means to the Mutant Insect.

Now that the Overmind has been killed, it is nothing short of a pipe dream for the Mutant Insect to make a comeback.

Although they said they valued the message from Old Wang, they didn't actually take it seriously at all.

Until one of their large legions encountered Youji's forces in the Starry Sky and was completely annihilated.

This time, the Star Spirit lost six Dreadnought-class Starship, millions of Combat Unit, and 17 Legendary warriors, including two Legendary High-Tier warriors.

After they sent out a distress signal, there was no further news. When the Star Spirit rescue team arrived, all that was left was a scene of devastation.

The disappearance of these people filled the Star Spirit with regret, but there's no such thing as a second chance.

After receiving the message from the Star Spirit, Old Wang and the others offered words of comfort and then said nothing more.

They were shocked by the power the Mutant Insect had displayed this time. Even when the Overmind was still alive, the Mutant Insect didn't have this kind of strength, did they?

Back then, the Mutant Insect relied on sheer numbers to win, but things seem to have changed now.

When the Star Spirit reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, there was hardly any Mutant Insect blood left; it was mostly Star Spirit blood.

Mutant Insect generally don't leave behind corpses, as those are their energy source, so it's puzzling that they don't leave much blood.

But once both humans and Star Spirit began to take the Mutant Insect seriously, the Mutant Insect seemed to vanish into thin air, and they could no longer find any trace of them.

If it weren't for Old Wang filming the killing of General Zhang's puppet, the two sides would definitely be suspecting each other by now.

~~~

More than ten days later

The time for the match between the humans and the Star Spirit has arrived. The Mutant Insect have made no progress so far, but the match still has to go on.

Although Zhang Yi, who discussed this competition with the Star Spirit, is gone, Old Wang has returned.

The result of the discussions between the two sides for this competition was that they would send out their strongest Legendary, and whoever won would become the Alliance Chair.

This competition system was proposed by Old Wang, and when he first mentioned it, everyone on the human side thought he had lost his mind.

In their view, this idea was even more foolish than Zhang Yi's initial suggestion that Legendary participate in the competition.

It's not that the Legendary Ninth Rank humans are weaker than the Star Spirit, but rather that the question involves who should actually go up and compete.

As the current Alliance Chair, Old Wang has no Legendary Ninth Rank under his command.

But if you send someone else's Legendary Ninth Rank subordinate to the position, firstly, let's not even talk about whether they're capable of it, and secondly, who will take that position?

If you let other people fight tooth and nail, and then you go and reap the rewards, how can they stand it?

However, the humans couldn't persuade Old Wang, and the Star Spirit agreed, so the rule was finally set.

"Let's see who he sends today!" one of Zhang Ping'an's men muttered on the way.

"Shut up, you think you're so good with words?" Zhang Ping'an glared at him and said, then turned to another person in the group:

"Uncle, if he calls on you later, I'll have to trouble you!"

"You really want me to go? She might not appreciate it!" said Zhang Ping'an's uncle.

"Everything is for the sake of Human Race; now is not the time for internal strife!" Zhang Ping'an said.

"Haha, great, they were right about you!"

Such conversations also took place within Li Yulong's and Xun Min's teams, highlighting that while humans have many flaws, they also possess far more admirable qualities.

However, they might be overthinking things this time. The reason Old Wang proposed this rule was so that he could get on the field himself.

After arriving at the Planet where they had defeated the Insectoid Overmind, both sides exchanged pleasantries and then began setting up the Starry Arena and broadcasting capabilities.

This time, the one making the move is Legendary Ninth Rank being, someone who must fight in space.

If it were on this Planet, it could easily cause irreversible damage or even destroy the Planet.

The Starry Arena that was set up on both sides this time was actually a Meteorite brought in, and the location was right where the final battle with the Insectoid took place.

It's spacious enough here, allowing you to unleash your skills on both sides.

Since the battle is taking place in space, a means of broadcasting is essential; otherwise, just waiting around would be incredibly boring.

Although fighting in space is mostly silent, it's better than nothing.

"The venue is ready. Please enter, both teams," the referee announced.

After the referee finished speaking, an elderly-looking Star Spirit forward.

Although this Star Spirit looks like a human in their fifties, they are actually very strong.

His name is Dun Yiqian Legendary Ninth Rank. He is currently the strongest being among the Star Spirit, strong enough to lead an entire era of Star Spirit.

After Dun Yiqian arrived at the center of the stage, he began to wait for the humans to send someone on stage, and the humans all looked at Old Wang.

Then Old Wang smiled slightly at everyone, stood up, and slowly walked towards the arena.

Everyone: "???"

"What do you mean? You want to do it yourself?" Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but ask.

"You're so smart!" Old Wang.

"Stop joking! Do you know what you're doing? You're playing with the future of all humanity!" Li Yulong.

Even Old Wang's Master, Old Luo, stepped forward and said, "I know you're anxious, but now is not the time for you to take the stage!"

"When have you ever seen me make a joke like this? Don't worry, have some faith in me!"

"This is also the Alliance Chair's order. I don't want you to disobey orders and lose face in front of outsiders," Old Wang said with a smile.

Everyone: "..."

Who is really losing face?

I need to take a day off to get vaccinated tomorrow.
