Chapter 802: Attempting to steal a chicken but losing a handful of rice

“Using the ‘Binding’ technique to capture those insect warriors? No, it’s futile. The energy surge from a million monarch insect warriors surpasses the king-level limit a hundredfold. At most, I can only restrain ten thousand insect monarchs—utterly insignificant against a legion of a million. This tactic is ineffective!”

“What about entangling the insect hive and killing the insect queen?”

“The 81 Divine Kings have nearly depleted their strength and are still recovering. What’s worse, that accursed Wing King has enveloped the insect hive with his wings.”

Tzvika stood in the control room, his eyes filled with anxiety as countless thoughts raced through his mind.

He found only one solution—

Releasing over 8 million mechanical puppets to fight against the enemy monarch legion might work. Unfortunately, the time required to deploy them would allow the insect monarch legion to execute several combined attacks. Although this plan is effective, there’s simply not enough time.

“Abandon it!”

“We must abandon it and let the Wing King escape.”

Tzvika reluctantly made the decision, “Wing King, you’re lucky this time. And that annoying human Realm Lord, you’re lucky too!”

It seems lengthy.

Actually, the moment the million Tiger-Armored insect monarch legion appeared, they immediately executed a combined attack!

“Attack!”

“The target is…” This purple space wasn’t a true realm but merely a region filled with massive energy. The Gold-Horned Giant Beast could easily sense the nine energy sources in the entire ‘purple space,’ which were the positions of the nine pyramids, confirming their locations once again.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…

A million beams of light!

Instantly pierced through the purple space.

Each ray was unleashed at full force by an Insect Sovereign. The combined might of a million Insect Sovereigns was sufficient to make even a titled kingly expert blanch. Faced with such earth-shattering, utterly overwhelming power, evasion was the sole recourse! Even the Golden-Horned Colossus, shielded by both the Shiwu Wings and Jiang Jia’s dual defenses, would be utterly obliterated beneath such cataclysmic devastation.

A million beams of light converged from afar into a single point!

Incredibly precise!

Not a single ray strayed. Every beam was perfectly concentrated upon that singular point. Even if a million human World Lords trained for eons, they could never achieve this feat. Such is the supremacy of the insectoid kind.

Converging into a single point!

A very tiny point!

Silence!

The entire purple space fell silent, or rather, sound completely disappeared, and the heavens and earth vanished, leaving only the tiny point formed by the convergence of a million beams of light. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was an instant, and then that tiny point erupted violently!

Boom~~~ The heavens and earth roared, and the silent world instantly became chaotic, tearing a massive hole within a range of thousands of kilometers, causing countless streams of spatial fragments to become chaotic.

The collapse of the vast cosmic space even affected Tzvika, who was monitoring the battle from afar.

“Hurry.”

“Irina, all of you come in.” As soon as the Gold-Horned Giant Beast detected the million insect monarch legion launching their attack, it immediately drew Irina and the million Tiger-Armored insect monarchs into its inner world.

Then, the massive explosion swept over.

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast folded its wings… The explosion from tens of thousands of kilometers away reached the Gold-Horned Giant Beast, and after being weakened twice by the Shiwu Wings and Jiang Jia, it still caused the Gold-Horned Giant Beast to spit blood from the shock.

“Too terrifying.”

“With the Shiwu Wings and Jiang Jia, even being affected from tens of thousands of kilometers away resulted in serious injury.”

“Even a peak monarch with an immortal physique would struggle to survive a direct hit.” Though Luo Feng had anticipated the devastating power of this spectacle, witnessing it firsthand left him utterly awestruck and dumbfounded.

“The pyramid!”

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast suddenly turned its head to look.

In the distance, the pyramid that had been almost directly hit was already cracked.

“Whoosh!”

With a shake of its wings.

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast darted toward the pyramid like lightning.

Tzvika, affected from millions of kilometers away, was unharmed due to the distance.

“Oh no, my Nine-Base Divine Nation’s foundation!” Through the detector, Tzvika instantly witnessed one of the nine pyramids—the one struck nearly point-blank—utterly shattered. This pyramid vessel could endure assaults from peak Sovereigns.

But under the combined attack of a million insect monarchs…

Although it managed to dodge slightly at the last moment, that small distance was almost ineffective.

The core explosion covering thousands of kilometers in the combined attack was the strongest.

The pyramid spaceship cracked directly.

“Master, the base spaceship is severely damaged, but the core chamber remains intact.” The intelligence of the cracked pyramid reported. Although the damage was severe, the ship’s intelligence remained intact. The important instruments for constructing the Nine-Base Divine Nation were in the core chamber, created by Tzvika’s master, and were well protected.

And remained intact.

“That’s good.” Tzvika secretly sighed in relief.

“Master, the base spaceship cannot fly, and the internal power system is completely damaged.” The ship’s intelligence reported.

“I shall dispatch a Divine Monarch to retrieve you.” Tzvika had barely eased when his expression turned to stone, then he bellowed in fury, “Wing King!!!”

Displayed on the detector—

The Wing King vibrated his wings and, at an incredible speed, instantly rushed to the damaged pyramid spaceship.

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast flapped its wings first and flew to the already damaged pyramid spaceship, its dark golden eyes showing a trace of excitement. The nine pyramids were important components of the ‘Nine-Base Divine Nation’. Although the other eight pyramids were intact, they would be difficult to obtain. But this one…

“Absorb!” The Gold-Horned Giant Beast tried to absorb the pyramid spaceship into its world ring.

“Hmm?”

With a sweep of its world power, it discovered that the ‘intelligence’ inside the damaged pyramid spaceship was still intact. The ship’s intelligence was controlling some of the ship’s defensive measures, resisting.

“Irina, arrange for ten thousand Shadow-Fang insect monarchs to completely destroy the control system of this damaged pyramid spaceship.”

“Yes.”

Watched as ten thousand small, shadowy Shadow-Fang insect warriors, like ghosts, rushed into the damaged pyramid spaceship. Although they were much thinner than the Tiger-Armored insects, they were still monarchs. Controlling just ten thousand insects, even the insect hive didn’t need to come out, only needing to split a faint consciousness into each insect’s body.

“Boom~~~”

The inside of the pyramid spaceship was filled with rumbling sounds. The already damaged ship had many functions out of order and couldn’t resist at all.

“Wing King.”

“Wing King.”

Furious bellows thundered through the air as the Golden-Horned Colossus turned its gaze toward the horizon. There, the Eighty-One Divine Kings surged forth in wrathful onslaught, their intent clear—to claim the shattered pyramid vessel for their own.

“Master, it’s been successful.”

“Well done.”

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast quickly absorbed the damaged pyramid spaceship and the ten thousand Shadow-Fang insect monarchs inside into its world ring.

“Damn it!!!” Watching this scene through the detector from afar, the mechanical clan expert ‘Tzvika’ furiously punched the control panel in front of him, smashing it into pieces.

“The spaceship control system is 73% damaged.” The voice echoed in the control room.

“Shut up.”

Tzvika roared in anger.

Then he stared at the arm screen, gritting his teeth: “My base spaceship, my base spaceship! Cursed Wing King, cursed Wing King!!!”

The nine base spaceships were Tzvika’s most important treasures!

Firstly, the 9 million F9-level mechanical puppets were distributed among the nine base spaceships. Each base spaceship had a small G-level metal mechanical puppet carrying a million puppets in a world ring. However, during that bombardment, the spaceship was directly cracked, and the G-level metal small puppet had its energy core shattered.

The rings of the puppet legions on the base spaceship were secondary.

The most important thing was—

Each base spaceship’s core chamber contained instruments for constructing the Nine-Base Divine Nation. Only by combining the nine base spaceships could the complete Nine-Base Divine Nation be constructed. Once one was lost, the Nine-Base Divine Nation could no longer be set up. Moreover, the instruments used to construct the Nine-Base Divine Nation were incredibly expensive… they were his most valuable wealth!

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast absorbed the damaged pyramid spaceship and couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

After being suppressed and beaten for so long, it was finally time for revenge.

“Wing King.”

“Wing King.”

The 81 Divine Kings were scattered around, observing the Golden-Horned Colossus.

“Roar~~~” The Gold-Horned Colossus growled deeply, “Without that violet dimension’s assistance, you can’t even replenish your strength, nor can you unleash many of your combined arts… And now, there are no amethyst tendrils binding me. Without these techniques, you’re no threat to me anymore.”

With a shake of its wings.

The Golden-Horned Colossus sent three Divine Kings reeling with a single mighty blow, hurling them far beneath the Shiwu Wings before hovering mid-air with an ominous presence.

The G-level metal defense was indeed very strong.

“Now you can’t handle me.” The Supreme Divine Monarch declared, “But Wing King, how about we strike a bargain?”

“A deal?” The Gold-Horned Giant Beast said in a low tone.

“Just return the damaged starship to me, and I shall grant you treasures worth a billion Chaos Units,” declared the Supreme Divine Monarch.

“The damaged spaceship is worth far more than 1 billion Chaos Units.” The Gold-Horned Giant Beast said in a low tone.

“No.”

The supreme Divine King, bearing a colossal greatsword upon his back, shook his head solemnly. “This matters greatly to me, yet for you mortals, you’ve merely acquired one-ninth of the Nine-Foundation Celestial Dominion’s configuration artifacts. Retrieving it serves no purpose. Even were you to trade it anew, never could you command a princely sum of one billion Chaos Units. Only I am willing to pay such a king’s ransom for its purchase.”

“The nine-million-strong mechanical puppet legion is worth tens of billions in Chaos Units,” rumbled the Gold-Horned Colossus in a resonant growl. “The Eighty-One Divine Monarchs likely command a value in the hundreds of billions. As for the Nine-Foundation Celestial Empire… that would undoubtedly be the most priceless treasure of all. Do you truly believe I’d be as witless as you?”

Swoosh!

With a shake of its wings, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast flew far away.

“Let us discuss this further.” The Supreme Divine King urgently sent his voice.

“I won’t sell treasures to enemies, especially since I have channels to deal with treasures, like my human allies. There are many powerful humans, and the mechanical clan’s precious instruments have always attracted human experts.” The Gold-Horned Giant Beast shook its wings and flew far away.
