Chapter 166 For Her Majesty the Empress!
Above the sky, the massive, mountain-like queen insect slowly trembled its thick, hard carapace.
Instantly, grayish-brown dust fell from its body, and from its center, invisible ripples of energy surged outwards in all directions.
The terrifying sense of oppression pressed down as if it were a physical force, making it almost impossible for everyone watching from behind the canopy to breathe.
As the mother insect issued a silent mental command, the dense swarm of insects behind her instantly transformed into a dark cloud pressing down on the city, charging fiercely towards the Grammer cavalry below!
The Grammer cavalry all looked up, their vision filled only with the blinding, fast-moving shadows of insects.
Before they could react defensively, the swarm of insects slammed into the mech at supersonic speed and exploded upon contact!
The explosive power of a single insect might not be enough to cause fatal damage to the sturdy Grammer cavalry.
Hundreds and thousands of insects exploded one after another, their power instantly increasing dramatically, shattering the Iron Cavalry's protective helmet.
Immediately following, the violent aftershocks of the explosion severely injured the pilot inside the mech.
In just a short moment, the elite Grammer cavalry suffered heavy casualties, losing more than half of their fighting strength.
Even the firefly, with its extremely strong willpower, was on the verge of exhaustion in this endless and brutal battle.
As his companions, with whom he had spent every day, were mercilessly slaughtered by the swarm of insects, the captain of the Firefly Squad roared out amidst the smoke and flames of war.
"Who else is alive?!"
With her body nearly exhausted, Liu Ying quickly maneuvered her mecha to the captain's back.
The captain's face was as cold and stern as iron, his eyes filled with unwavering determination:
"Cover me as I approach the mother insect!"
As Firefly piloted the Sam mech, she nodded heavily, her voice hoarse yet resolute:
"yes!"
"Take it."
As the captain spoke, he solemnly handed a starter to Liuying.
Liu Ying raised her hand and steadily took it, then gently clicked on the starter. A silver-blue virtual data panel instantly appeared before her eyes.
The panel displayed countless complex and incomprehensible combat data, and in the very center was a projected phantom that closely resembled the giant mother insect before them.
Firefly couldn't help but ask, "What is this...?"
But the captain didn't answer Liu Ying's question. Her tone was urgent as she sternly instructed Liu Ying:
"Start immediately upon seeing the signal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain steered his mech and charged headlong toward the mother insect without hesitation!
The queen insect is the absolute core of the entire swarm. The moment the captain charged toward her, countless insects surged forward to block her way.
The captain was agile and nimble, with amazing explosive power, cutting down swarms of insects and shattering huge rocks in his path.
Finally, he exerted force with his feet, and the mech leaped into the sky!
He flipped his aircraft in the sky like a roc spreading its wings, his gaze fixed on the massive mother insect below, his eyes resolute and fearless.
Immediately afterwards, he resolutely leaped down toward the mother insect's body!
However, before the captain could even touch the mother insect's hard carapace, a sharp, segmented limb suddenly shot out from the mother insect's body.
Those limbs were like the sharpest, coldest blades, or the menacing horns of a ferocious beast, gleaming with a chilling light.
It pierced the captain's mech chest in an instant, and bright green blood gushed out, staining the mother insect's spikes green.
Watching this scene unfold from afar, the firefly gaped in horror, its entire body trembling uncontrollably.
The captain, who was pierced by the spikes, did not die immediately. With his last bit of strength, he ripped off the communication positioning mask from his face.
He slammed the mask with its GPS tracking function hard against the mother insect's carapace with all his might.
Gazing at this horrific and heart-wrenching scene, the firefly in the distance felt a pang of heartache, as if her internal organs were being clenched.
As a member of the Grammer Cavalry, she was already intimately familiar with military regulations and understood their significance better than anyone else.
Having experienced countless battles, large and small, she knew the moment the captain handed her the starter that this was a one-way journey to her death.
"The agreement has been passed...scorched earth operations will be implemented..."
The captain threw the mask onto the mother bug, and the damaged facial wiring of the mech crackled with blinding sparks.
With the last of his strength, he let out a hysterical roar:
"For Her Majesty the Empress!"
The fireflies below were deeply moved, and hot tears instantly welled up in their eyes.
She also shouted softly but with unwavering determination:
"For Her Majesty the Empress!"
Liu Ying looked down at the starter in her hand. The instrument emitted a rapid beeping alarm, and a yellow signal landed steadily on the surface of the mother insect.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Ying pressed the start button hard with her fingertips!
At that very moment, a silver-blue orbital ray flashed across the distant horizon.
Immediately following, a devastating railgun roared down from the sky!
The shell hit the mother insect's body precisely, and the deafening explosion instantly resounded throughout the world.
Centered on the mother insect, the raging flames completely engulfed it, and the shockwave from the explosion unleashed a raging inferno.
The surrounding smoke and dust were violently dispersed, and a huge circular energy aftershock formed above the explosion.
The power surged again, and ripples spread wildly from the center of the explosion, engulfing everything in their path.
The mother insect was blasted into dust by this devastating attack.
The terrifying power swept in all directions, completely engulfing the swarms of insects, the surviving iron cavalry, and the entire land.
In the end, the whole world turned into a lifeless ashes, devoid of any vitality.
...
Everyone on the Douluo Continent was instantly terrified.
Endless fear, like an icy tide, surged wildly into everyone's heart.
The strength of this female insect is beyond doubt; it can be described as terrifying and heaven-defying.
But after learning about the relevant plot of Pinocchio, they understood it even more clearly.
The true power of the swarm goes far beyond what it appears on the surface.
They had even seen insectoids larger than planets, so numerous that they covered the entire galaxy.
And now, the firefly is facing this mother insect.
The fact that it has never left its home planet is enough to prove that it can only be considered a weak existence among the Zerg.
Yet this "weak" mother insect already possesses such incredible fighting power!
The numerous Grammer cavalrymen fought with all their might, suffering heavy casualties!
They simply couldn't defeat this terrifying mother insect!
Even a mother insect this small, less than the size of a planet, possesses such terrifying power.
The Douluo Continent members could not even imagine what would happen when the global locust plague descended.
Just how terrifying would a swarm of insects covering the entire star field be?
They dared not even imagine just how powerful the Grammer Empire had been back then.
Only then could they fight against such a terrifying swarm of insects for countless years!
"Me and them... When my martial spirit possessed me, how similar I was to these insects!"
Bibi Dong's martial spirit possessed her, transforming her into an ugly and ferocious giant spider.
She looked at her disgusting body with a complicated expression, feeling a mix of emotions.
Her true form is not that of an insectoid being, but her Martial Soul True Body allows her to transform into a spider.
This was something she found utterly repulsive and repulsive.
At this moment, I witnessed firsthand the boundless hatred that extraterrestrial beings harbored towards the insect swarm.
She didn't even dare to get close to Little Gray Hair and the others.
Fearing that the other side might mistake them for Zerg and kill them in one blow.
At the same time, a strong sense of inferiority welled up in her heart.
The swarms of insects from outer space are incredibly fast and can even self-destruct, severely damaging powerful enemies.
The mother insect can reproduce into a vast swarm that blots out the sky, serving her purpose.
Looking at his own Martial Soul True Form, he found it weak and ugly.
Compared to the other two, her martial spirit was extremely weak!
