Sure enough, not long after, a passage opened up in the swarm, and the colorful, flat worm appeared at the edge of the swarm, facing the fleet from a distance.
"General Hu Yu, let's begin."
"Okay, let's begin."
The words had barely left his mouth when the Endeavor charged forward, surrounding the flatworm. They immediately released energy to reinforce the space, while the Conqueror seized the opportunity to rush forward, launching Dimensional Bomb and two-dimensional bombs at the flatworm, unleashing various spatial attacks. A familiar scene unfolded: the flatworm was not significantly restricted within the solidified space, and the space around it continued to flow.
All the attacks missed, a result Hu Yu had already guessed, but he still held a sliver of hope that he could break the current stalemate.
"General Bi Cha, let's retreat. Don't waste our warships."
"Okay, let's go, no, I want to try again." Bi Cha suddenly changed his mind and said firmly.
The flatworm watched the attacks of the Conqueror and Endeavor with amusement, and even the surrounding swarm of insects fell silent, watching these powerless civilization fleets as if they were playing cat and mouse.
Suddenly, the space surrounding the Endeavor shattered, and the flatworms vanished. This was because the space was broken, obstructing the propagation of light, but it did not mean that the worms had been eliminated.
"General Hu Yu, attack quickly! The Endeavor can't hold out for long!"
Before Bi Cha could finish speaking, the Conqueror launched another attack. One of these Conqueror was fully loaded with antimatter and was traveling through the shattered space. Hu Yu noticed that the Fifth Reversed State of the Conqueror had also undergone some changes and seemed to be on the verge of disintegrating at any moment.
The Conqueror, laden with antimatter, quickly arrived beside the flatworm. Hu Yu noticed that some parts of the space flowing around the flatworm had also become fragmented. The flow of space became discontinuous and intermittent at these fragmented areas. Hu Yu's eyes lit up; this time it might really work.
Most of the Conqueror were destroyed by the distorted space, but a dozen or so remained intact, including the Conqueror loaded with antimatter. The distorted space layer was still more than 100,000 kilometers away from the flatworm, but for the Conqueror traveling at high speed, this distance was just under their noses.
Energy still flowed through the insect's body, the two-dimensional bomb attack was blocked, and the spaceship loaded with antimatter rushed directly onto the insect. The energy of the explosion finally broke through the insect's last line of defense.
The flatworm seemed to sense the danger as well. Suddenly, more than a dozen huge spikes on its back detached and rushed straight towards the Conqueror that had broken through the fluid space layer. Hu Yu did not expect the worm to have this trick up its sleeve. However, the Conqueror reacted quickly and launched a wave of two-dimensional bombs before the spikes arrived.
The Conqueror was accurately hit by the spike. The spike did not destroy the Fifth Reversed State. The distance was too close and the time was too tight. The spike had no room to accelerate. Although it did not destroy the Fifth Reversed State, the huge impact of the spike still sent the very light Conqueror flying backward. It was destroyed again after passing through the flowing space.
Several of the two-dimensional bombs were dodged by the flatworm as it sped away, but a few still penetrated its body. The massive explosion, which left no visible sparks, created several large, bloody holes in the flatworm's body, and even the spikes on its back were bent out of shape.
However, the flatworm did not die. Hu Yu knew that some high-level insects would develop special internal structures to strengthen their defenses in order to cope with four-dimensional combat. This flatworm was one such example. However, underestimating its enemy still cost it dearly. At this moment, it was on its last legs and no longer able to fight against the fleet.
The surrounding swarm of insects was stunned by what they saw. They hadn't expected their Insect King to suffer such a blow. However, they quickly reacted and instantly surrounded the Conqueror and Endeavor. Faced with the massive swarm, the small number of Conqueror and Endeavor had no chance of escape. After a few minutes of frenzied killing of hundreds of billions of insects, the last Conqueror exploded.
Hu Yu regretted almost killing the flatworm. If he had mobilized more Conqueror to venture deeper into the Insect Zone, he might have killed the flatworm by now. After this lesson, the flatworm would never give the Conqueror and Endeavor any chance again. It would hide deep inside and never meet with the fleet again.
Hu Yu still hadn't activated the giant insect controlled by the bio-warrior. Although the flatworm was severely injured, it was definitely not something that the bio-warrior-controlled insect could handle.
"General Bi Cha, all our efforts have been in vain."
"At least it dampened its arrogance and showed that it's not impossible for us to take it down."
"Your Space Barrier technology has advanced to such a high level that the entire space has been shattered."
"Mr. Feng Ye's contributions are indispensable; without him, our Feng Ye Xuan Star Civilization would hardly have reached this point."
After this defeat, Hu Yu had to think of other ways to fight against the high-level insect swarm. Time was running out. The insect swarm was only 15,000 light-years away from the defense line. At the speed of the insect swarm, it would be able to confront the fleet head-on in three years at most. However, now that the Insect King was seriously injured, there would be more time.
On this day, another giant ship landed near Earth Four. After receiving the landing order, a shuttle arrived at Earth Four, and several short, stout creatures stepped off the shuttle, shaking their heads as they went.
" Erguan Master, it's been a long time." The visitor was none other than Erguan, the Heavenly Peak Civilization creature who had conspired with Hu Yu last time.
"General Hu Yu, to make a long story short, have you found a solution for the high-ranking insectoid swarms in the galaxy?"
This is the third time in four years that they have been urged. The first two times it was the Yun San Civilization inquired, and this time it is the Heavenly Peak Civilization. They are also very concerned about the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization of this high-level insectoid swarm. If this insectoid swarm cannot hold out, the galaxy will also fall.
" My Erguan, we're working on a solution, it'll be ready soon."
"Sigh, I know you're under a lot of pressure. We really can't spare a fleet. Besides, even if we could, it wouldn't make a difference. Wherever our fleet goes, those high-level insects from the fourth dimension follow. We've already lost more than half of our fleet, so this high-level insect swarm can only rely on you."
"What?! You've lost more than half your assets? How long has it been and you've already lost more than half?"
"What's so strange about that? We're almost always one warship against one or a few insects. The fourth dimension is too vast. We don't dare to attack without the insects concentrating their forces, lest they slip past our lines and cause trouble behind our lines. So this loss is normal. But overall, we have a slight advantage, it's just..."
"Just what?"
