Chapter 289: Chapter 21: Rage of the Race
The war has developed into something strange, shifting from racial hatred to personal vendettas. Dika can survive for another fifteen years, and after that, the Kara Aliens will lose their king, which will definitely lead to internal chaos.
This situation has happened once before in Kara Star. At that time, the Kara Aliens still had a stable planet to live on and only barely stabilized after decades of turmoil because a new king was born.
Now, the Human Race is eyeing them covetously, and Reincarnation Paradise is also fighting for this Derivative World.
Dika has come to understand that the Kara Aliens are doomed. Even if the coordinates can be destroyed, the Human Alliance will clear them off Earth.
Fifteen years is too short a time; when drifting in space, the Kara Aliens cannot survive without a leader, otherwise they will perish.
Faced with inevitable extinction, Dika chooses to turn racial hatred into personal hatred by killing the human who acts as Ruler. That person’s body still has some spiritual fluctuation left by its descendant Tuka, and though these spiritual fluctuations are about to dissipate, Dika can perceive them—certainly that human killed its descendant.
Dika roars and points to the ice below, and the ship behind it rumbles to life.
Buzz...
A cannon barrel protrudes from the ship, this jagged huge cannon targeting the ice surface while strange cries from numerous creatures emanate from its muzzle.
Boom.
A black and red sphere shoots out from the cannon. It transforms endlessly in midair, seemingly not very powerful.
Splat.
Like a blob of snot hitting the ground, the black and red sphere spreads across the ice surface. On closer inspection, this is a pile of rice-grain-sized creatures resembling ants.
This is a weapon the Kara Aliens use to breach enemy defenses; these ant-like creatures can gnaw through most substances, whether rare metals or energy shields.
The rapid gnawing sound begins as the ant-like creatures quickly chew through the ice layer. Minutes later, a large pit dozens of meters wide appears, with seawater slowly rising inside.
Dika watches coldly. The enemies are in the deep sea, and it is determined to reach them at any cost. Countless Kara Aliens surround the ice cave.
Dika’s figure flickers as a spatial fluctuation occurs, and it appears directly above the ice cave, able to Flash Move.
"Disc Step! (Unknown language)"
Dika roars, pointing towards the seawater below the ice cave, clearly signaling the ordinary Kara Aliens to jump down.
All the Kara Aliens show terror in their eyes; the seawater below is too cold, and they would quickly freeze to death if they jumped.
A peculiar fluctuation emanates from Dika, tensing the bodies of those ordinary Kara Aliens, their vertical lizard-like pupils begin to dilate.
Plop, plop...
All the Kara Aliens rush to jump into the ice cave, splashing the icy water.
The scene on the ice plain becomes very shocking, with endless numbers of Kara Aliens surrounding the ice cave, eagerly jumping down.
The water level within the ice cave rapidly rises, gradually aligning with the ice layer due to water pressure.
Plop, plop...
The Kara Aliens go crazy, almost blocking the ice cave that is dozens of meters wide, with their number rapidly increasing in the sea.
Once in the water, the Kara Aliens don’t dive directly but gather tightly together, clutching their companions to form a sphere to resist the cold and the pressure generated by diving.
This insane scene of the Kara Aliens is captured by satellites, leaving the high-ranking officials of the Human Alliance stunned. They all share the thought that the king of the Kara Aliens, ’Dika,’ has gone mad.
But Dika is not crazy. Entering the deep sea this way is the fastest and most effective method. They have survived using this method in space, let alone in the deep sea.
Indeed, the Kara Aliens have the ability to cultivate creatures that can infiltrate the deep sea, but that takes time. They only have embryos of such organisms, not fully developed ones.
The Kara Aliens jump into the sea collectively, and the ’Bio-ball’ in the ocean grows larger and larger.
Those newly jumping have immediately joined the ’Bio-ball,’ which expands faster than it falls, and all the Kara Aliens hold their breath, allowing the Bio-ball to temporarily avoid sinking.
The horrifying aspect of the Kara Aliens shows here, with hair-raising discipline. It was a wonder how humans withstood their attacks in the early stages and persisted until now, even gaining the upper hand.
The Kara Aliens are no longer in their heyday; they were just severely beaten by the Human Alliance. Once, they had thousands of stocks of powerful organisms like ’War Beasts.’
The Kara Aliens’ jumping into the sea continued for half an hour, and as Dika, floating in mid-air, noticed that only half of the Kara Aliens remained on the ice, it leapt into the sea.
With Dika jumping into the sea, the ’Bio-ball’ formed by the Kara Aliens opened up, allowing Dika to enter its center before closing again.
The jumping continued. After another half hour, the last Kara Alien jumped into the sea. All Kara Aliens on Earth have jumped into the sea, and their only goal is Dika’s, to kill Su Xiao for revenge.
The hideously shaped ship hangs in the air, now devoid of Kara Aliens.
In the water, the giant ’Bio-ball’ formed by the Kara Aliens floats beneath the ice layer.
Gulu, gulu, bubbles rise from the Bio-ball as all Kara Aliens exhale the air from their chests, causing the Bio-ball to begin sinking. Their position is directly above that Sperm Whale.
As the Bio-ball continues to sink, Kara Aliens on the outer edge freeze stiff, detaching from the Bio-ball to float in the water, becoming corpses that attract numerous fish.
This is the final desperate counterattack by the Kara Aliens, an order from their leader Dika, gambling with the entire race’s power to kill just one person.
There are millions of Kara Aliens, and if Su Xiao hadn’t chosen to take the coordinates into the deep sea, the third coordinate would already have been destroyed.
An hour after the Bio-ball begins to descend, casualties escalate rapidly, the immense water pressure rupturing their organs, causing the Bio-ball to shrink swiftly.
But the number of millions of Kara Aliens is so massive that, when fully gathered, they can withstand the sea pressure with their bodies. This is their racial Special Ability, an emergency strategy used when a spaceship experiences damage in space to ensure the tribe’s survival.
Creak~.
A harsh sound emerges from the sea as the Bio-ball composed of Kara Aliens gets compressed tightly by the water pressure, accelerating its descent.
In the center of the Bio-ball, Dika’s eyes are icy. Using its Spatial Ability, it senses the fluctuation right below—it is a coordinate-type device being generated.
Once that device becomes sacred, the Kara Aliens are defeated. But Dika no longer cares; it seeks revenge against the human who drove the Kara Aliens to the brink.
Su Xiao saw this scene through the screen, surprised by the Kara Aliens’ venomous determination.
He can’t guard the coordinates, or it will end disastrously. Although he cannot guard them, he can move them, and with no enemies nearby at the moment, it is determined he is verifying the established position of the coordinates.
Walking through the Sperm Whale’s esophagus, Su Xiao arrives at its stomach, gazing at the sac-like a pool of sulfuric acid.
He tries placing the World Coordinates into the gastric acid. The device made of rare metal shows no sign of corrosion.
Noting this, Su Xiao tosses the World Coordinates far into the gastric acid.
Plop, the gastric acid splashes as the World Coordinates sink in.
Three hours remain until the World Coordinates are fully established.
