Just as Green Beetle was concentrating, trying to escape the alien demon's mental world.
Roar!
A sudden low growl shattered the mental strength Green Beetle had painstakingly gathered.
With great difficulty, Green Beetle looked in the direction of the roar, its body trembling involuntarily.
"What... what kind of monster is this?"
From amidst the sea of fire, a demon dragon, entirely green, with sharp teeth and claws, walked out slowly. Its pair of scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the intruder before it, as if ready to tear it to shreds at any moment.
Do not assume that just because it is not the real world, one can be careless.
On the contrary, if the damage sustained in the mental world were to fall entirely upon the physical body in the real world, and if one were to die in the mental world, then the Green Beetle in the real world would perish along with it, or perhaps be reduced to an imbecile with no brain.
Neither of these outcomes was what Green Beetle desired, so it was best to leave quickly before the opponent attacked.
Seeing Green Beetle's body becoming increasingly blurry, the demon dragon knew that this fellow was trying to escape, which only fueled its anger.
"Damn it, barging into my territory for no reason, and now trying to leave without a word. If I let you leave so easily, wouldn't I lose face?"
With that, the demon dragon no longer gave Green Beetle time. It exerted force with all four limbs while flapping its wings, soaring into the air, and unleashing a breath of dragon fire upon the Green Beetle below.
Ah...
At this time, outside, Gray Beetle was strolling around the main ship, observing the surroundings.
"Green Beetle, that good-for-nothing. He's been inside for so long and still hasn't found the hatch. I'll make him pay when we get back."
As he spoke, there was a sudden movement in the distance, and a metal plate slowly opened.
Seeing this, a glint flashed in Gray Beetle's eyes. He hadn't expected that just after he'd cursed, Green Beetle would find the door. It seemed this fellow really was deserving of scolding.
Passing through the hatch, Gray Beetle entered the main ship.
But before he could rejoice for long, as soon as he entered the main ship, Gray Beetle's vision blurred, and then he fell into a coma.
When he awoke again, Gray Beetle found himself in a sealed hall. Around him stood ugly, humanoid monsters, though these monsters did not seem intent on attacking him.
Looking ahead, not far in front of him stood Green Beetle.
Just as he was about to ask for an explanation, Green Beetle suddenly moved, charging rapidly towards Gray Beetle. His two arms transformed into mantis scythes and swung down at Gray Beetle.
Green Beetle's attack was quite sudden, but Gray Beetle was, after all, the foremost warrior of the Qirui race, and his opponent was someone he had previously defeated. He easily blocked Green Beetle's attack and then used his brute strength to slam Green Beetle fiercely beneath him.
Slammed onto the ground, Green Beetle showed no intention of stopping his attack. His legs transformed into eight octopus tentacles, wrapping around Gray Beetle's body. He twisted like a snake to dodge Gray Beetle's attacks, while his two mantis arms continuously hacked at Gray Beetle's armor.
"That's why I hate Martians the most."
Gray Beetle's greatest characteristic was his tough hide. After equipping the Sacred Beetle armor, his defense and strength were greatly enhanced.
Even after Green Beetle's multiple attacks, he could not break through Gray Beetle's defense. Instead, Gray Beetle grabbed his body with both hands and, using brute force, tore him off his own body and threw him several meters away.
Just as Green Beetle got up, ready to continue fighting, his body convulsed as if struck by electricity. Then, he knelt on the ground, and a low voice came from behind him.
"A boring trick. It seems your value ends here."
Upon hearing this voice, Green Beetle panicked entirely.
"I have value, I still have value, don't abandon me..."
As he spoke, Green Beetle turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Unfortunately, the next moment, Green Beetle's body spasmed as if electrocuted. After a painful scream, he collapsed to the ground. The Sacred Beetle armor on his body rapidly retracted and finally detached from his body.
After detaching from its host, the Sacred Beetle, as if summoned, flew into a container held by an alien demon. The unconscious Martian host was then dragged away by the alien demon, and where he was thrown was unknown.
"How is this possible!?"
Although Gray Beetle, a pure combat-type, only understood the Sacred Beetle as a biological weapon that enhanced his own strength, he knew one thing: except for the Qirui race, no other civilization could make a Sacred Beetle, already parasitizing a host, voluntarily leave, let alone control it into a cage.

"What exactly is going on?"
"Allow me to answer your question."
The voice that had spoken with Green Beetle earlier sounded again, and then a hovering seat floated slowly out of the darkness. Sitting on it was an alien demon that was only one meter tall from head to toe.
Unlike other alien demons, this one was only a meter tall, a stark contrast to the other alien demons who were nearly two meters tall. Moreover, other alien demons had strong bodies and powerful limbs, with relatively small heads.
This alien demon was the opposite: its limbs were not only not muscular but also severely atrophied. Its head, however, was disproportionately large, occupying two-thirds of its total height, completely squeezing out the neck area.
Even Gray Beetle, upon seeing such a creature, couldn't help but ask, "What kind of monster are you?"
"Monster?" The big-headed alien demon was clearly angered by Gray Beetle's words.
"You are the monster. You are all monsters, a group of brutish, uncivilized beasts. You only focus on brute strength and neglect true strength, wisdom. Only I, Kromitz, and the great Holy Lord truly grasp the power of wisdom."
This alien demon, who called himself Kromitz, was different from other combat alien demons. He was an intelligent alien demon, a benevolent mutation, appearing only once in a thousand.
They abandoned their massive bodies and great strength, instead fully developing their intellect, possessing extremely strong mental and telekinetic abilities. More importantly, their powerful mental strength and high intelligence made them far more useful than ordinary alien demons, serving as fleet commanders to oversee the overall situation.
Even Bai Qi had only cultivated two so far. One was Kromitz, who was currently commanding the battleship fleet, and the second was in the laboratory, conducting research with Wu Dawei and other scientists.
Initially, Gray Beetle looked down on the short individual before him, even considering him less of a threat than the ordinary alien demons beside him.
But soon, Gray Beetle realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.
