This was David's second battle against a demigod. The previous demigod, the Holy Spirit Knight, had been called a demigod, but his actual combat strength had still differed somewhat from that of a true demigod.
The Golden-Winged Beetle King he faced this time was different. It was a true Zerg genius that had cultivated itself into a demigod.
The demigod Golden-Winged Beetle King did not possess an Emperor Inheritance Pattern. Although this type of Zerg that could become a demigod received preferential access to racial resources, it was only because the Golden-Winged Beetle King's own talent was strong enough that it could obtain those resources.
Before War Star appeared, this kind of demigod Zerg had never existed among the Zerg. But ever since the three worlds had intersected and War Star, a planet whose resources had explosively increased, had emerged, the Zerg had gained an endless supply of vast resources.
Only with that inexhaustible supply of cultivation resources could the Zerg afford to support demigod cultivation, allowing a small number of demigod-level Zerg to emerge.
Yet demigods should also have been the highest stage the Zerg could reach through self-cultivation. Over ten thousand years, no demigod Zerg that had cultivated itself had ever grown into a god-level being.
It was as though some kind of restriction prevented the Zerg from advancing to god level through their own cultivation.
Demigod Zerg were extremely powerful. These were demigods who had advanced purely through their own efforts, and nearly every one of them was exceptionally formidable.
Take the Golden-Winged Beetle King, for example. With its racial Speed Talent, once it spread its golden wings, the Golden-Winged Beetle King had few rivals among demigod Zerg.
But unfortunately, the Golden-Winged Beetle King had not even managed to spread its golden wings, much less use its
