After being fired from the diamond squid, I became a sea patrol ranger.

Spall always felt that something was watching him.

He pursed his lips, trying to analyze his current situation, but before he could even think, a murderous aura surged out from the open space.

The murderous aura was like a tidal wave, its intensity unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.

Spah felt a chill run through him and got goosebumps. He was about to grab Silver Wolf's hand and leave when...

click!

It was the sound of the gate closing. Spa looked around and found that the entire open space was blocked by a high black wall.

Are they not letting us escape? Fine.

Spah abandoned his playful grin, stomped his leg hard, and his momentum surged as he gazed at the center of the open space.

A viscous, life-affirming energy rose from there.

Chapter 20 What? I hit the messenger?

A giant true cricket appeared in the center of an open space.

Its entire body was blue-purple, its shell covered in armor, and its jaws spread out like a giant umbrella, blocking out the sky and casting dark shadows.

Kosper, however, paid no attention to the giant insect's appearance.

He was shocked by the scent of the insects.

The killing intent surged forth like a tidal wave. Even though Spa had been through many battles, a tremor still ran through him deep inside.

Even... Bu Liren's army doesn't have this kind of aura.

Could this bug be...?

"Breeding...Breeding Envoy!"

Silver Wolf exclaimed in surprise, interrupting Spa's thoughts.

Spall rolled his eyes, his thoughts swirling as he recalled information from the company's think tank. The intelligence about the giant insect before him gradually became clear.

Star-Shattering King Insect, Skarakabaz

Spah pursed his lips, not daring to be negligent, golden light flashed in his palm, and the power of destiny flowed quietly.

Swish!

The king insect spread its wings and pounced fiercely, stirring up a fierce gale along the way, carrying with it murderous intent, and wriggling its mandibles.

Spah released a shield. Through the golden energy shield, he glimpsed that the King Worm suddenly split, multiplying into countless offspring.

The offspring are small in size, less than one-tenth the size of the queen beetle.

But they were numerous, splitting into two, then four, and in an instant, they transformed into a sky full of blue mist, crying and shrieking, enveloping Spa and his companion.

Seeing this, even the most shrewd Silver Wolf couldn't help but change his expression and break out in a sweat.

"Um, I... I'll call the Commander? Can I give up my points? Doing this... could kill someone..."

As Silver Wolf spoke, his movements were anything but slow. He moved backward, taking a step back, while a virtual keyboard appeared in his hand.

Hiss!

The insects spread their wings. Spah saw countless purple spikes sweeping in like a storm.

He gritted his teeth, raised his arm, and stood in front of the silver wolf. The energy shield expanded, forming a square shield three meters high and wide, to meet the spikes.

Ding-dong! Clang, clang...

The needles whistled as they crashed into the energy shield.

Unfortunately, none of the hundreds of spikes pierced the shield; instead, they fell to the ground one after another.

Spah breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could celebrate for long, he caught a glimpse of the King Worm spreading its massive mandibles and spewing out blue light.

boom!

The light streaked across the sky, creating waves of heat, and in less than half a second, it arrived in front of Spa and smashed into the shield.

Crunch! Crunch crunch crunch crunch...

Cracks spread like a spiderweb. The golden shield of light lasted only a second before shattering into fragments of energy that scattered in all directions.

Fortunately, Spah was prepared and deactivated his shield in advance, retreating to avoid the energy bombardment. At the same time, he reached out, grabbed Silver Wolf's wrist, and ran towards the room door.

At this moment...

It's no use, there's no escaping it. My dear~ only by fighting can we find a chance of survival.

A woman's voice suddenly came from the arena-like room.

The voice sounded warm and gentle at first glance. But when Kosper listened intently, he detected a chilling indifference within it.

Spall felt that the owner of the voice was not human, but more like a Cthulhu god disguised as a human.

The other party is... Ruan Mei from the Genius Club?

I heard from Está that Ruan Mei was also on the space station.

Spah pursed his lips. He had long heard that Ruan Mei was both a biology expert and a research fanatic.

Am I being used as a guinea pig?

Spah gritted his teeth. Although he was annoyed, he understood that eliminating the enemy was more important than getting angry, so he summoned fifteen Imaginary Assault Rifles to meet the insect head-on.

Tap tap! Tap tap tap tap tap...

Gunfire erupted like a torrential downpour, instantly wiping out most of the larvae and spraying up layers of blood mist.

The blood mist spread. Spa saw the silver wolf leap up, its feet spewing purple flames, and plunge into the blood mist like a meteor.

The girl ran towards the King Insect's true form, raised her finger high, and gently waved it. Instantly, a beam of purple energy descended from the sky, falling upon the King Insect.

The purple light, like a comet, crashed into the King Insect's armor, yet it didn't even leave a scratch.

Silver Wolf pursed his lips and flicked his fingers. Suddenly, more than thirty purple lights appeared in mid-air, crashing down and devouring the King Insect's body.

"Agh!" the king insect screamed in agony.

Silver Wolf's lips curled up slightly as he breathed heavily.

But the next second, the purple light dissipated, and the King Insect was still alive and kicking, only with several burn marks on its body.

How...how could this be?

The gap between me and the Envoy is so huge...

Silver Wolf clenched his fists, his legs trembling slightly, but he did not back down. Instead, he glanced at Spa:

"Screw Spare, forget about the offspring! If we can't deal with the mother, we'll all die!"

Before he finished speaking, Silver Wolf took a half step back, his fingers moving rapidly as he typed on the keyboard. A short while later, a Rubik's Cube popped out into the air.

The Rubik's Cube spun, forcing out a purple light needle that fell towards the King Worm and pierced its body.

Combat skills [Can changes be allowed?]!

The skill effect is... to implant a weakness in the enemy.

Spall understood immediately and without hesitation, summoned thirteen imaginary cannons, focused their muzzles on the Insect King's body, condensed golden light, and burst forth from the cannons.

Boom!

A mushroom cloud rose, and orange-red flames ignited, interspersed with specks of golden light. Before long, the light spread, engulfing the Ohmu, and like a stellar explosion, dyed the entire room a dazzling gold.

Hey!

The king insect roared, its voice echoing far beyond what had just been heard.

Spah held his breath, clenched his fists, and stared intently at the location of the Queen Beetle's mother, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

A moment later, the golden light dissipated, and the King Insect's figure was revealed, but it was not as ferocious as before.

Its momentum waned, and cracks spread all over its body like a spider web, creaking and groaning as they expanded outwards.

Two seconds later...

click!

The king insect split in two.

The next second, the giant insect's previously depressed aura surged again, becoming even more terrifying than before.

Spah saw that although the True Stinger's body split, it did not die. Instead, its flesh and blood writhed, and in an instant, two Queen Insects were generated.

The King Insect revealed its scarlet eyes, spread its giant pincers, flapped its wings, and released a hundred or so black needles that flew towards Spa and his companion.

That guy... after splitting, he's twice as strong as before! I have to defend and protect the Silver Wolf!

Spah thought to himself, clenched his fist, and unleashed a golden light shield to block the sky full of black needles.

Clang!

Black needles rained down on the light shield, creating cracks in just two seconds.

No... This level of defense is completely ineffective against the Commander!

Are we going to have to use that trick?

Spah pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

Suddenly, the black needle disappeared.

Spah paused for a moment, then turned around, narrowed his eyes, and looked through the golden energy shield at the location of the King Worm.

He saw that the two queen insects were covered with cracks, which were making a creaking sound and gradually spreading outwards. Before long, the cracks had spread all over their bodies.

boom!

The Star-Shattering King Insect exploded, splattering out purplish-red blood plasma, which dripped down like raindrops, soaking Spah's body.

Spa activated the power of destiny to clean away the stains, frowned, and tried to sense the presence of the Ohmu, but couldn't detect anything.

Only a little reproductive energy remained, scattered throughout the room.

It looks like... it's dead.

As expected, that guy was a simulated messenger created in the experiment; he probably couldn't maintain his form for too long.

If Ruan Mei... wants to collect data on our battles against the King Insects, the data from just now should already be...

Spall's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. He saw the red light flashing in the room and a large hole cracked in the ceiling.

Spa looked up at the cave entrance and noticed a corpse falling from the sky and crashing heavily to the ground.

boom!

Thick smoke billowed from the corpses. Through the smoke, Spa could make out the outline of the bodies, which was a hundred meters wide.

Although only a gray-white skeleton remained, Spa could still sense a malevolent aura through the remains, which transcended time and reached his eyes.

Is it a gluttonous ancient beast?

Spa pursed his lips, trying to guess Ruan Mei's next move, but before he could draw a conclusion, Ruan Mei's voice came to his ear again:

Thank you, darling, the experiment is now moving to the next phase!

[Experiment Content: After obtaining the Gluttonous Fate Path, can the existence of the Reproduction Envoy be stabilized through devouring?]

As soon as he finished speaking, Spah felt the previously dissipated reproductive energy in the room converge towards the corpse like a tornado.

Chapter 21 Gluttony! The escalation continues!

We cannot... allow the Star Shattering King Insect to reform!

Spah frowned, and before Ruan Mei could finish speaking, he strode towards the insect eggs, conjured up a miniature collapse bomb, and threw it at the corpse.

boom!

The explosives detonated, spreading outwards from the corpse as the core, and the reproductive energy dispersed and turned into fragments.

Spah flicked his wrist, summoning a micro-charger and aiming it at the scattered energy fragments.

But the next second, the reproductive energy condensed and gathered again towards the corpse. Even more astonishingly, the speed at which the energy gathered was far faster than before.

In the blink of an eye, energy condensed into countless blue threads, spinning rapidly like a top. Soon after, the threads tightened, transforming into a blue cocoon that hovered in mid-air.

Pfft!Pfft!

Deep within the cocoon, the sound of a heartbeat could be heard. And on its surface, cracks appeared one after another.
