The Reaper inside the insect's mouth seized the opportunity to gather energy and unleashed a spatial cannon blast into the small head, simultaneously launching several antimatter bombs and energy balls.

The insect's head instantly turned into shredded strips of cloth, and the smaller head branches, thousands of kilometers long, slowly drooped down, enraging the giant insect. All the heads roared angrily, baring their fangs and gleaming with ferocity. It stood tall among the swarm, like an unparalleled king, coldly watching the Reaper fleet that had surrounded it.

"Attack immediately! Don't give it a chance to breathe! It's summoning higher-level insects from the surrounding area to come to its rescue!"

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff."

These Reaper not only possess Fourth Reversed State Armor, but also carry the Reaper's Virtual Matter arrows. The surrounding swarm of insects has already closed in, including three giant insects that are over ten thousand miles long. They launch a frenzied attack on the Reaper, but the Reaper completely ignore the attacks of these insect swarms.

A spatial attack shredded the surrounding swarm of insects. After eliminating the interference, the Reaper immediately launched a fierce attack on the multi-headed giant insect and the three high-level insects.

The Rotating Space Shockwave directly pierced through the bio-armor of the three giant insects, creating a hole hundreds of meters in size on their surface, leaving them mangled and horrifying.

However, the multi-headed giant worm still had the ability to defend itself against the advanced Rotating Space Shockwave of the Small Star Region. The shockwave only penetrated a few meters before it could no longer break through, Reaper had no choice but to use its precious Virtual Matter arrows.

The Virtual Matter arrow directly clashed with the insect's matter, leaving bloody holes in its body. Then, the antimatter bomb at the tail of the Virtual Matter arrow exploded inside the insect's body, hundreds of meters deep. The giant insect was quickly blasted into a bloody mess, tumbling painfully in the air.

Taking advantage of the fact that several giant insects were unable to attack due to pain, the Reaper immediately launched a second wave of spatial attacks, further expanding its gains. After the second wave of attacks, the Reaper immediately dispersed to avoid being swallowed up by the ever-growing swarm of insects.

When the other lower-level insects saw that the giant insects were seriously injured, they immediately surrounded them, either tearing at the cracks or crawling into the giant insects through the cracks to feed. Before long, the giant insects were left with only sturdy empty skins.

Having eliminated the giant worms, the Reaper continued to search for and attack them within the swarm. The Xuan Star Civilization warships once again played a crucial role. Now, the Xuan Star Civilization warships not only no longer needed to be arranged in neat rows, but also possessed maneuverability when activating the Space Barrier.

So the wall of death began to move through the swarm, and wherever it went, the insects died. Even though some of the larger insects could not be killed instantly, the wall of death did not work instantly like a normal spatial attack, but rather it was a continuous attack. Unless they were giant insects with a length of more than 10,000 kilometers, none of them could escape the strangulation of the Space Barrier.

The swarm was scattered, and the swarm fragments in space were repeatedly pulverized. The Reaper seized the opportunity to rush in and launch a devastating attack on the swarm. Under the powerful attack of the fleet, the momentum of the swarm's offensive was finally suppressed.

" Old Hu, two fleets are approaching us."

"It must be the fleets of the Crystal Civilization and the Gemini Civilization sending them a message, requesting their assistance in eliminating the Zerg swarm as soon as possible."

"Okay."

The two fleets that arrived were indeed from the Crystal Civilization and the Gemini Civilization. They carried a large number of planets directly from outside the galaxy, jumping out before the Zerg swarm could surround their civilization's territory. Once surrounded by the Zerg swarm, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The warships' power increased several times over in an instant. Although they were still outnumbered by the swarm, their killing speed had improved significantly, and they were finally able to deal with the swarm more easily.

The number of insect swarms was steadily decreasing. The fewer the insect swarms, the faster the warships could attack. As time went on, the fleet finally wiped out all the insect swarms. The airspace with a diameter of one light-year was filled with insect remains and fragments: insect heads, limbs, bodies, condensed fluid spheres, and various internal organs. The clean starry sky suddenly became dirty.

"General Hu Yu, I am the leader of the Crystal Civilization." A message was received by the Reaper.

"Welcome, leaders of the Crystal Civilization. Your planet may initially be stationed on the right side of our territory."

"Thank you, General. These fleets belong to the Gemini Civilization. We are familiar with the Gemini Civilization, so we have come together. We hope you will accept us."

"General Hu Yu, our Gemini Civilization holds the Star Ring Alliance in high esteem, especially Human Civilization. If you do not mind, General, our Gemini Alliance is willing to join the Star Ring Alliance."

"Let's discuss joining the alliance after this crisis is over. Our alliance leaders will hold a meeting to decide then. For now, please station your fleet on the left side of the territory, and we will work together to defend against the Zerg swarm's attack."

"Thank you, General."

The two fleets, carrying planets, once again sailed towards the two flanks of the Star Ring Alliance territory, taking a few nearby stars with them as well.

" Old Hu, what's the deal with this Gemini Civilization? Are we that familiar? They want to join us right away, even the Crystal Civilization hasn't said they want to join our alliance."

"Leave them alone for now."

"General Bi Cha, what is the extent of the damage to the fleet?" Hu Yu asked.

"2 billion ships destroyed in the war, the losses are not significant."

"Quickly gather the generals and repair the damaged warships. We're preparing to launch a preemptive strike and eliminate the insect swarm before it can coalesce."

"That's exactly what we were thinking; once the swarm gathers, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us."

"In that case, everyone get ready immediately, and we'll set off as soon as possible."

"Good!"

" Old Hu, don't you notice that the way the Xuan Star Civilization speaks is different? They seem much more confident."

" The Xuan Star Civilization has found its place, so things will naturally be different. Their fleet is indeed very effective against the Zerg swarm. Our Reaper focus on single-target attacks, while they emphasize area-of-effect attacks. Going forward, our Reaper should coordinate with the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet. We will be responsible for dealing with the high-tier Zerg, while the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet will be responsible for large-scale clearing of the low-tier Zerg. This will achieve the best attack effect."

Sigh...

"What's wrong, Chief of Staff? When did you start sighing like that?"

"Even if we wipe out all the bugs this time, the galaxy will never shine again. What a mess the once beautiful Milky Way is now! Those damn bugs, when will these bastards finally be wiped out?!"

"Don't get excited. One day we will deal with the bugs. When that happens, we will not only rebuild the Solar System, but also restore the Milky Way to its original state."

"It's a pity that the production of the Fourth Reversed State is too slow. Otherwise, if we equipped all the fleets with the Fourth Reversed State, we could rampage through the Zerg swarms."
