Chapter 1 Looking at Death

Watching the warriors die one after another, Li Chenzhou was silent. He wanted to stop them, but it was useless because these warriors didn't listen to him at all. They all came from their respective worlds, and their purpose in coming was to destroy the Devourers.

Now, they felt hopeless, so they wanted to die gloriously, so as not to disgrace their own world.

At this time, no one surrendered, because this was a war against the Devourers. Those who surrendered would suffer even more than those who died in battle. Using an energy bomb would only take a fraction of a second, and a person would die, quite decisively, with basically no pain.

But if they surrendered or were captured, without a doubt, they would become food for the Devourers, their life force sucked dry. No one wanted to endure that kind of pain!

However, all the people from Li Chenzhou's world had gathered at this time, and Li Chenzhou also exchanged for many chariots at this time. Now he didn't care about the kill points anymore; he would use as many as he had.

Because of the suicide attacks of those warriors, the Devourer's team was somewhat chaotic, so the warriors on Li Chenzhou's side were able to gather smoothly, but the total number was only more than three hundred people.

Since being dropped into the Devourer's city, all the warriors had been fighting their way through. After being ambushed by pursuit fighters and Devourer ground forces, their numbers had naturally dwindled long ago. Now, only these three hundred or so people remained inside the Mother Empress.

And as warriors from other worlds blew themselves up one by one, there were fewer and fewer humans in the Mother Empress's body, while the Mother Empress was still constantly and frantically hatching Devourers. The ratio between the two was getting bigger and bigger.

"Boss! What do we do?"

Seeing this situation, Gray Bear looked ferocious. At this time, the number of Devourers could no longer be stopped by individual ability. It could be said that if it weren't for these chariots exchanged by Li Chenzhou, they probably wouldn't have many left now.

They used to encounter zombie hordes, but now, they could be said to be surrounded by a Devourer tide. As far as the eye could see, there were Devourers everywhere. The Devourers who had been blown up by those warriors, along with the corpses of those warriors, were all absorbed by the Devourer Mother Empress.

"Everyone, prepare maximum firepower, target... the crystal core, five, four, three, two, one..."

Li Chenzhou looked at the crystal core, turned on the full-channel communication, and shouted loudly.

At this time, although there were more than three hundred warriors, there were only thirteen or fourteen chariots, because there was not enough space. The Mother Empress was constantly repairing the energy pipelines and hatching nests in her body.

Hearing Li Chenzhou's order, all the warriors in the chariots turned their chariots towards the crystal core. All the weapons on the vehicles, including a Star Destroyer Cannon at the front of the vehicle, and the warriors in the bunkers above the chariots, all aimed at the crystal core.

In front of the crystal core, a large number of Devourer Guards were surrounding it. Because the number of ordinary Devourers had increased, the Mother Empress had summoned all the Devourer Guards who had not yet died back to surround her crystal core.

Seeing that all the weapons on the chariots were raised and aimed at her crystal core, the Mother Empress also took action. Not only did all the Devourers rush towards the chariots, but all the Devourer Guards also made defensive movements, surrounding the crystal core tightly!

"Fire!!!"

Li Chenzhou didn't care about those Devourers. Seeing that all the Star Destroyer Cannons had finished charging, a trace of ferocity appeared on Li Chenzhou's face, and he shouted loudly.

"Whoosh~~!"

In the next moment, the Mother Empress's body suddenly shone brightly. All the weapons on the dozen or so chariots fired together, and the overwhelming energy beams all shot towards the crystal core in the air, submerging all the Devourers surrounding the crystal core...

"Keep firing, don't stop!!!"

Li Chenzhou's voice rang out again. Hearing this order, all the warriors in the chariots ignored the Devourers who had pounced on the chariots and started attacking the chariots desperately. Instead, they poured all their firepower towards the crystal core, even though the crystal core was now shrouded in energy beams and the situation inside could not be seen at all.

Being targeted by a dozen Star Destroyer Cannons and hundreds of beam cannons, Li Chenzhou felt that even if those Devourer Guards were strong, they should not be able to resist. But watching the Devourers still constantly emerging from the hatching nests, Li Chenzhou naturally knew that the Mother Empress was still not dead...

Looking at the crystal core completely shrouded in beam energy, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but frown. Gray Bear had previously broken the Mother Empress's crystal core with one shot, and the subsequent energy beams had also caused some damage to that crystal core. He had seen this with his own eyes.

Therefore, the previous barrage should have been able to completely destroy that crystal core, but now it seemed that the result was completely different from what he had imagined.

Li Chenzhou didn't know what was going on, because even Xiao Xin didn't know the details about the Mother Empress's crystal core. After all, he wasn't the Mother Empress.

The information he provided was all he knew as a brood, that is to say, the information Xiao Xin gave was the information of the brood. As the Mother Empress, there must be differences from the brood, even if the two were very close!

"Stop firing, all move closer and defend! Conserve energy!"

Li Chenzhou issued the order again.

Since they hadn't been able to destroy the Mother Empress's crystal core, it meant that it shouldn't be a problem of firepower, so they could only stop firing first and see the current state of the crystal core.

In addition, Li Chenzhou didn't let them try their best to clear the surrounding Devourers, because that was meaningless. He had already seen that all the dead Devourers and humans would be absorbed by the Mother Empress. Therefore, fighting the Mother Empress here would not be enough to consume even if there were more kill points, because the Mother Empress was equivalent to recycling, and the energy points lost were basically negligible.

What's more, with the Mother Empress's energy reserves, even if she couldn't recycle, Li Chenzhou's current kill points would not be able to keep up with her. If they really fought a war of attrition, Li Chenzhou and the others would definitely be wiped out in the end.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou told everyone to defend with all their strength and hold on for a while. Their ultimate goal was still the crystal core.

Because it was no longer being attacked, the light around the crystal core gradually disappeared, and the situation around the crystal core could finally be seen clearly.

The previous barrage was not without effect. After the light disappeared, everyone clearly saw that those Devourer Guards who had surrounded the crystal core before were basically all dead or injured.

No matter how elite they were, they couldn't withstand so many energy beams. As for the Mother Empress's crystal core... the crystal core was still there, but it was very different from before.

What appeared in the position of the Mother Empress's crystal core was a seven-colored crystal core that was only the size of a fist but shone with brilliant light, and this crystal core was a very regular circle, unlike the incomplete shape after being bombarded by Gray Bear's shot before...
