A ferocious giant insect descended from the sky, viciously pouncing on the airborne Radiation Monster. With a speed far surpassing its opponent, it landed on its back, and its menacing mandibles instantly pierced through the creature's body.
Soon after, a liquid capable of melting flesh and blood was injected into the Radiation Monster, causing its internal organs to dissolve and turn into a puddle of liquid.
Caw!
The giant bird let out a terrible shriek as it plummeted from the sky. With its insides being dissolved, no matter how powerful the life force, survival was impossible.
And this was just the beginning. Swarms of insects charged onto the battlefield, forming sharp, dagger-like formations as they plunged into the enemy ranks to commence their slaughter.
Then, a thirty-meter-long Centipede-like Creature made its appearance, gliding through the air. Its body was adorned with over a hundred sharp claws, slicing through the air like a chainsaw, dismembering and killing all monsters within a hundred-meter radius.
Next, a peculiar silver-gray creature leaped down from its back. It resembled an armored cat walking upright, standing only ten meters tall and blending in among the monsters.
Yet it exuded a powerful aura belonging to its Ultimate Form. Its armor plates vibrated as claws extended several meters long, transforming into the sharpest of weapons.
Behind it was a tail over ten meters long, covered in sharp bone spines that it skillfully wielded to strike down one monster after another.
This creature leaped from hundreds of meters in the air, crashing down and creating a massive pit in the ground, obliterating a giant python over ten meters long into a mushy pulp.
Crunch!
It casually took a bite of the python's flesh and blood, emerging from the pit covered in gore before kneeling before Xarl with a thunderous thud:
"Responding to the Supreme Ruler's summons, Vaxinger leads the Fifth Legion to join the battle!"
What was astonishing was that it spoke in perfect human language!
"Ah, it can speak human language! What kind of monster is this?" Cecilia exclaimed, startled. It was her first time seeing a creature that could actually talk.
Parrots and similar birds could mimic human speech, but this was a strange Insect Beast. Despite its humanoid appearance, it shouldn't be able to talk!
In the next moment, another gigantic monster appeared, resembling a red Lizard engulfed in flames, measuring over twenty meters long with a wingspan nearing fifty meters.
Its wings were covered in spiky bone protrusions, and its eyes flickered like flames as it spoke:
"Responding to the call of the Supreme Ruler, Yura leads the Sixth Legion into battle!"
While the previous humanoid silver monster at least had a human-like form and could speak, the fact that a scorpion-like creature was also talking left Cecilia utterly bewildered.
However, Xiar showed no signs of shock and issued an order: "Slay all Radiation Monsters and consume their corpses!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The two colossal beasts leaped into action. The scorpion-like monster soared into the sky while the silver beast jumped several dozen meters high onto the back of a Black Giant Beetle.
It opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and raised its arm to point at the mass of underground monsters: "All troops, attack! Crush them!"
With its command, monstrous insects dove from the sky, their sharp claws slicing through the air with a piercing sound.
Countless members of the Swarm Army, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, charged toward the Radiation Monsters on the ground.
The bloodiest war had begun!
For this operation, Xiar mobilized two legions, summoning one million five hundred thousand Insect Beasts to participate in the battle, marking the largest military engagement he had ever orchestrated, exceeding one-fifth of his total forces.
These two legions were newly formed, composed of the top performers from the previous Beast Fighting Tournament who now held high positions within the legions.
They were no longer merely using the Spirit Technique to mentally control the Insect Beasts through shared vision; they had truly transformed into the Insect Beasts themselves!
To put it more vividly, the current Insect Beasts were essentially their own bodies, akin to virtual avatars that could be controlled as perfectly as a real body.
Xiar had indeed overcome the challenges of Ultimate Evolution for the Insect Beasts, but he faced a critical issue: the Ultimate Insect Beasts cultivated through this method lacked consciousness!
In other words, he could only create a shell puppet that reached Ultimate Form without a corresponding consciousness to match it.
This was quite understandable; after all, Ultimate Form represented a fundamental leap in essence, and mental awareness would leap along with it. His elixirs could forcibly enhance their physical forms but could not elevate their souls.
Even with his formidable abilities, he could not create souls, as that belonged to the realm of deities!
Thus, Xiar spared no expense in organizing the Beast Fighting Tournament to select the most perfect controllers, allowing their mental wills to inhabit these shells and become his avatars!
In this way, it resembled mechs from science fiction films, where pilots control their bodies.
However, unlike traditional pilots, this time the pilot was the Insect Beast itself; they were no longer mere controllers—I am Zerg!
Yet another issue arose: Ultimate Form required a matching powerful mental will; otherwise, it would be impossible to forcibly control such a formidable body.
A simple analogy would be that a normal person's consciousness is like that of an infant while Ultimate Form is akin to an adult. Can you imagine an infant lifting a Greatsword?
But it didn't matter; with the artifact known as Mo in play, everything was manageable.
Under Mo's extraordinary enhancement, these mental wills temporarily possessed a strength comparable to that of an ordinary Third-Level Spirit Master, enabling them to perfectly command each Ultimate Insect Beast!
The scene was filled with Ultimate Insect Beasts, each one a human soul leading millions of Insect Beasts into the most terrifying war imaginable.
In this battle, over twenty Ultimate Insect Beasts made their appearance, resulting in a one-sided Massacre!
Meanwhile, within the magic realm, the events were unfolding in real-time.
“Dear viewers, that silver-gray Insect Beast is none other than Vaxinger, the champion of the Beast Fighting Tournament. Now he stands against the top Fifth Legion Commander, becoming the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of Insect Beasts!”
“Do you see that terrifying Crimson Insect Beast? That is Yura, the runner-up of the Beast Fighting Tournament, who also commands hundreds of thousands of the Insect Beast Legion!”
In the live broadcast, commentator Garcia shouted passionately, his voice filled with excitement as he introduced each dazzling and powerful Insect Beast present.
“Fight! With courage to battle, you can achieve endless glory and become the captain of a legion!”
“The position of the seventh army’s captain is still open. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign up using your Personal Terminal!”
“Join us for the Second Insect Beast Domination Tournament! We’re waiting for you!”
