David didn’t pay any attention to what Edmund had said. At this moment, his heart was filled with extreme anger. This anger stemmed from Clive’s death and Edmund’s disdain for humanity. So his gaze towards Edmund grew even colder.

After enduring two attacks from David’s Staff of wasteland , Edmund’s extremely tough carapace began to show cracks. These cracks seemed irreparable, swirling around Edmund’s body, making him appear especially agonized. Finally, he couldn’t bear the pain any longer and reverted to his human form, the shape of the Zerg King. He had transformed into the Zerg King to leverage its massive size and sturdy defense to deliver a powerful blow to David. However, he didn’t even withstand David’s third strike and struggled to get back up from the ground.

Edmund’s eyes had turned completely black, and black insects continued to emerge from beneath his skin. This was a symbol of Edmund’s anger and the reason he had to do this when facing David. He realized he had underestimated the true strength of the human before him, so he had to show David something impressive.

“Is this all you’ve got? I don’t look down on you, but in our Zerg, your strength only qualifies you as a dog under my command! Hah, did you really think that wielding the Staff of wasteland would make you the king of this world? Delusional!” Edmund said, looking at the Staff of wasteland in David’s hand.

Having spent so long in the wasteland World, he naturally knew the power of the Staff of wasteland. He had searched the entire wasteland World in the past trying to obtain it, but had always come back empty-handed. So when he saw David holding the Staff of wasteland, it stirred a layer of shock in his heart.

“As long as there are places the human race wants to reach, they will slaughter all enemies. And you are an enemy of our human race,” David replied, his tone extremely cold, no longer paying attention to Edmund’s harsh words.

“Hahaha! Then I’ll show you my true power!” Edmund laughed manically in response to David’s words. He felt he had to bring out his hidden strength to show David what he was capable of. If he could kill the Armored General, he could certainly kill David!

“Come forth, my insect progeny!” Edmund stood still, spreading his arms and calling out, “I am the King of the Zerg! I need your power; the time for sacrifice has come!”

To everyone’s confusion, they couldn’t make sense of Edmund’s strange words. They felt a pressure they had never encountered before, as if the entire sky was bearing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

“This is bad! This guy is about to unleash his ultimate move!” Charles gritted his teeth and said with a serious expression. Others also understood the significance of Edmund’s strange words.

Edmund was about to summon all the Zerg’s insects and sacrifice them to become even more powerful. This was Edmund’s ultimate move as the King of the Zerg, the Insects Return to the Ancestral Homeland.

As he activated “Insects Return to the Ancestral Homeland,” he would absorb all of the Zerg’s power, and his strength would increase dramatically. Edmund had never thought he would have to use this ultimate move. However, he couldn’t help but smile with cold satisfaction, knowing that as long as he used this move, David’s fate was sealed in his eyes. 𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭

Don’t mention David, the human. Even heavenly immortals can’t escape death. And he’s just a member of the human race. Can he compare to heavenly immortals?As Edmund’s calls echoed, the entire Barren World seemed to plunge into a sea of Zerg. Countless insects swarmed before everyone’s eyes—crawling from the ground, emerging from the forests, and darting out of the void.

Even the ones slain by the Ember Squad and resurrected under Edmund’s summons. Tens of thousands of insects appeared in an instant. They surged towards Edmund like a tidal wave.

In the blink of an eye, Edmund was surrounded by these insects, and his figure vanished from sight. The onlookers, filled with horror, watched this scene unfold. They had never witnessed anything so terrifying in their lives.

However, they were also curious about what would become of Edmund, now that he was surrounded by the insects. David, on the other hand, could clearly see Edmund’s situation. He had reached the level of a Dark God, and with his spatial abilities, he could easily traverse through the swarm of insects to discern the truth. He saw it in his eyes.

Edmund’s flesh and blood were torn apart by these insects. The insects then entered his body one by one, rapidly turning into a black mist that disappeared. As this black mist dissipated, David could clearly feel Edmund’s aura growing stronger, and even his physical form was expanding.

“Absorbing the power of the insects to enhance his own strength?” David said softly. He had anticipated that Edmund would resort to this move. In his eyes, the Zerg, with so many insects, existed not just as ordinary combat forces but had a more significant purpose—to provide strength to Edmund.

This way, Edmund would become a true Zerg King with their power! Realizing this, David didn’t hesitate any longer. He knew that to defeat Edmund completely, he had to disrupt Edmund’s plan to absorb the power of the insects. So he turned to Sally and said, “Quickly use lightning to turn these insects into ashes!”

Upon hearing David’s words, Sally was momentarily surprised but quickly understood his meaning. She nodded and took a step forward, suspending herself in mid-air. “Exhale!” The dark clouds in the sky suddenly grew denser. In Sally’s eyes, two lightning-like beams flashed.

“Rise, thunder!” As Sally pointed to the sky with one hand, a purple lightning bolt was immediately summoned down. “Go!” Sally shouted, and the purple lightning bolt rushed toward the layers of Zerg. “Boom!” The lightning struck the densely packed insects, causing intense explosions. Countless insects were turned to ashes, emitting black smoke. However, when these insects fell to the ground, even more insects continued to crawl from all directions.

Sally continued to summon lightning to strike the insects. Seeing this, others no longer hesitated and began to use their own abilities. Arnold transformed into an eleventh-level werewolf mode and charged at the insects. Duke used Shadow Damage techniques to restrain and kill some of the larger guardian insects. Fatso wielded a large bone club, smashing down and killing dozens of insects with each strike. Emlyn, accompanied by the evil? Ghost, rushed into the fray, allowing the evil? Ghost to devour the insects to its heart’s content.
