"Whoosh!"
Faced with the terrifying sea of insects bearing down like a black curtain, the Golden Horned Beast "Little Gold" showed no fear.
Instead, the ferocity of a Starry Sky Behemoth was roused!
Its enormous body suddenly accelerated, and its dark golden domain surged forward like a solid wall!
The Zerg vanguard that first came into contact with the domain, whether beetles on the ground or locusts in the air,
was instantly crushed and annihilated by the condensed energy field, turning into a rain of ash!
"Roar!"
Little Gold opened its jaws and spat out a golden beam, thicker and more concentrated than before.
Like a sword of divine punishment, it carved a several-kilometer-long swath through the insect swarm, leaving behind a barren stretch filled with the stench of burning flesh and scattered limbs!
The Golden Horned Beast charged through the insect swarm like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable!
Wherever it passed, insect corpses fell like raindrops.
But the terrifying thing about the Zerg was their virtually endless numbers and their fearless, suicidal charges!
The Zerg at the front had barely been wiped out before those behind them rushed in to fill the gap.
They even surged out from underground, from the sides, from every direction, trying to overwhelm and trap Little Gold with sheer numbers!
Some of the Zerg were larger, their carapaces glinting with a special sheen. These "elite" Zerg
began releasing faint but disruptive psychic waves, or spitting special mucus capable of corroding energy fields.
They caused Little Gold no small amount of trouble.
"Whoosh!"
Just as the Golden Horned Beast "Little Gold" began to slow under the relentless onslaught,
the fearless sea of insects and the elite Zerg's special attacks held it back, and the energy field around its body began to waver ever so slightly,
Capybara's calm voice came through the mental link.
"Little Gold, come back! Get behind me!"
Little Gold did not hesitate. It whipped its tail, sweeping away a swath of Zerg, then deftly flew backward.
In an instant, it returned to the space beneath Capybara and shielded him from behind, remaining vigilant against the scattered Zerg that continued to lunge at them from every direction.
By then, Capybara was already floating in midair, the Cosmic Armor around him shimmering with an unusual light.
His dark, shining eyes were fixed on the oncoming insect swarm, surging like an endless black tide, as well as the insects continuously burrowing out of the ground.
He did not choose a specific target to attack.
Instead, he focused on the densest, most turbulent stretch of the entire insect swarm—the front line!
"Black Hole Domain—Path-Clearing Mode!"
"Bzzzz—!!!"
Behind him, the pitch-black vortex, now nearly 150 meters across, abruptly unfurled!
But unlike when it had devoured the Thunder Dragon Emperor or fought the Golden Horned Beast,
this time, the Black Hole did not stay in place and generate a powerful pull.
Under Capybara's precise control, it began... moving forward!
That was right—a moving Black Hole!
The Black Hole was like a frantically spinning millstone of destruction, pushed by an invisible hand.
Following the path Capybara had set, it slowly but relentlessly ground its way toward the very heart of the insect swarm!
Space groaned under the strain wherever it passed!
The densely packed Zerg Warriors, their claws bared and fangs exposed,
whether low-level cannon fodder or elites whose carapaces shimmered with a special sheen,
were as good as thrown into an invisible shredder the moment they entered the hundred-meter radius ahead of the Black Hole!
"Ssshhh—!!!"
There was no violent crash, only the faint, grating sounds of energy annihilation and matter breaking down!
The Zerg's carapaces, limbs, mouthparts, compound eyes...
Melted and disintegrated as swiftly as snow beneath the sun before the absolute, domineering law of devouring!
The acid they spat, their poisonous stingers, their psychic disruptions—all were like mud sinking into the sea.
They could not even raise a ripple before the Black Hole mercilessly devoured them!
[ Ding! Devoured Zerg Warrior, energy +1 ] [ Ding! Devoured elite Zerg, energy +12 ] [ Ding! Devoured Zerg acid (analyzing...) ] [ Ding! ...]
The system notifications rang out in a continuous stream, like a rapid drumbeat!
The moving Black Hole carved a completely empty "passage" more than a hundred meters wide
straight through the seemingly boundless insect swarm!
The Zerg on both sides of the passage tried desperately to escape the terrifying field of devouring, but often they had not even managed to turn around
before the edges of the dissipating field caught them, reducing them to ash as well!
The passage extended straight ahead, its target the source from which the insect swarm poured forth.
The countless underground openings—and the Mother Nest deeper below!
Capybara followed behind the moving Black Hole, strolling as if through a garden.
Little Gold guarded his side, clearing away the scattered Zerg that occasionally slipped past from either side or tried to circle around from behind.
It was a scene of breathtaking, violent beauty!
This was no contest of skill, nor a clash of energy.
It was the most primal, most domineering law of "annihilation,"
carving a path of destruction through a sea of insects with an overwhelming numerical advantage!
Everyone watching the global livestream was dumbstruck.
They had seen Capybara use a Black Hole to devour the Thunder Dragon Emperor and use one to fight the Golden Horned Beast.
But they had never seen a Black Hole "clear a path" through an insect swarm like a bulldozer!
"Th-this... Is this how you're supposed to use a Black Hole?"
"Th-that's... so brutal! So direct!"
"A sea of insects? In the face of absolute power, numerical superiority is a joke!"
"Lord Ye Xiu... Just how many more tricks does he have?"
After the shock came even more fervent admiration and awe.
Once again, Capybara had proved through his actions that, in the face of absolute power,
the so-called insect disaster was nothing more than a somewhat troublesome "roadblock."
With the moving Black Hole clearing the way by sheer brute force,
Capybara and Little Gold soon advanced to the airspace above the most densely packed core of the insect swarm.
The ground here had already been riddled with holes by the countless Zerg, covered in deep openings of all sizes.
They were like the gaping mouths of monsters, constantly spewing out new Zerg Warriors.
And the cold, greedy, resentful psychic fluctuation rising from deep underground had reached its peak here!
"Chitter, chitter—!!!"
Even sharper, more piercing shrieks erupted from every opening at once!
The swarm was no longer charging aimlessly. It seemed to have received some kind of unified command.
They began to pour toward the moving Black Hole itself, frantically and without regard for their own lives!
Like moths to a flame, they tried to fill that terrifying vortex with their flesh and blood, draining the Black Hole's energy!
At the same time, the ground began to shake violently, as if some enormous creature were awakening and struggling deep underground!
"Crack—!"
Huge fissures radiated wildly in every direction from several of the largest openings!
Then, before the horrified eyes of countless humans,
an enormous gray-white "flesh mountain," riddled with honeycomb-like holes and coated in sticky secretions,
its surface still writhing as it hatched new Zerg,
or rather, the main body of the Zerg Hive, slowly began to be "heaved" up from underground!
It had not emerged of its own accord. The moving Black Hole's domineering field of devouring
had dragged it right out of its underground lair, where it had hidden for who knew how many years, like a magnet pulling in iron filings!
