The moment the Devourer Guards leaped up to block the energy beams aimed at the Mother Empress's crystal core, a vast number of Devourers surged out from the un-destroyed incubation nests.

Simultaneously, the large hole that Hu Tao had created in the Mother Empress's body using his Void Corrosion talent rapidly healed. The severed energy conduits within began to regenerate and reorganize, and incubation nests reappeared one after another, resuming the incubation of Devourers…

This was the terrifying aspect of the Mother Empress. With ample life energy, she possessed not only an incredible recovery ability but also an extremely rapid Devourer incubation rate. From egg to fully grown Devourer took only three or four seconds.

Thus, in a mere dozen seconds, a multitude of Devourers appeared. While incubating them, the Mother Empress also used life metal to manufacture a large number of weapons, directly equipping these newly born Devourers.

*Shoosh shoosh shoosh…*

Countless energy beams shot toward the warriors who had not yet reacted. They fell like harvested wheat, expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Many of them, even in their final moments, were thinking: Didn't we win? Wasn't the Devourer Mother Empress dead? Why is this happening?

Seeing the situation instantly reversed, Li Chenzhou's face twisted into a grimace. He immediately activated War Fog, expanding it to its maximum range. Now a Level 9 Awakened, his War Fog could cover a diameter of a hundred meters.

Because they were on the ground, Li Chenzhou directly controlled the War Fog into a hemisphere, saving nearly half of his mental energy.

At this time, Gray Bear and the others continued to fire, taking down the surrounding Devourers, but the problem was that the fully restored Mother Empress's incubation speed was too fast, even faster than they could kill them.

After using War Fog, Li Chenzhou immediately exchanged a war chariot from the Slaughter Mall. He also went directly to the vehicle rooftop cover. Firing at the Mother Empress’s crystal core, he shouted:

"Everyone, converge on me! Get in the vehicle!!!"

Amplified by the war chariot's loudspeakers, Li Chenzhou's voice echoed throughout the Mother Empress. Some of the nearby warriors began to move toward him!

Actually, Li Chenzhou wanted to exchange for a war fortress. If he could create a war fortress inside the Mother Empress, she would definitely be doomed.

Unfortunately, although he could exchange for it, taking it out required sufficient space. The Mother Empress's body was crisscrossed with energy conduits and filled with incubation nests. Only smaller war tools like the war chariot could be summoned.

Luo Hong was the first to reach the vehicle. Li Chenzhou immediately teleported him inside. Then, he jumped out and exchanged for another war chariot, using the chariot's weapons to constantly clear out the dense Devourers while saying to Luo Hong:

"Take people in! Clear an area first!!!"

Li Chenzhou wanted to directly attack the Mother Empress's crystal core, but the no-longer-evolving Mother Empress had used her rapidly regenerating energy conduits and incubation nests to completely shield her crystal core.

Furthermore, the energy conduits and incubation nests near the crystal core were covered in Devourer Guards.

That's right, the Mother Empress had now recalled all the Devourer Guards. Those charging at the human warriors were all Devourers newly hatched by the Mother Empress.

For the Mother Empress, the Devourer Guards were her most elite warriors, and each death was a loss that could not be replaced. Previously, she had been forced to use these elites as ordinary Devourers because her life was in serious danger.

Now that she had fully restored her functions, she had a nearly limitless army of Devourers to incubate. Naturally, she had to recall these elites to protect her most important crystal core. As for the human soldiers, she was confident that she could overwhelm them with Devourers.

Li Chenzhou's previous guess was correct. After hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, the life energy stored within the Mother Empress's body was an astronomical figure.

And now that it was a desperate situation, the Mother Empress would not economize. Therefore, countless Devourers swarmed toward them like a tidal wave!

As a result, the number of Devourers inside the Mother Empress increased, while the number of humans dwindled. Because the Mother Empress's body shell had been restored, warriors who had not yet entered could no longer enter. Li Chenzhou and the others were heavily surrounded and trapped within the Mother Empress's body, making reinforcements unlikely.

The warriors inside were also aware of this situation, but they had already come with the determination to die. So, whether or not the hole healed did not have much of an impact on them.

The only thing that affected the warriors' morale was that they had previously thought the Mother Empress was dead, but she had revived and instantly created a large Devourer army.

This caused a deep sense of despair to rise in the hearts of many warriors. They were not afraid to die, they dared to fight, but they feared that their deaths would be meaningless. At least for now, most of the warriors felt that killing the Mother Empress was impossible.

As a result, many warriors began to give up. Although they heard Li Chenzhou's voice, they did not go to him, but instead launched suicidal charges at the Devourers in front of them.

One after another, the warriors, holding beam guns, fired wildly and charged into the Devourer army, then detonated the energy bombs on their bodies…

"Boom boom boom boom…"

The explosions of energy bombs sounded one after another, becoming more and more dense. Previously, only a few warriors had chosen to charge in and die together with the Devourers, but later, their actions reminded the warriors around them.

So, they all joined this line, shouting and charging into the Devourer ranks, then detonating…

The Devourers did not care about this suicidal attack—or rather, the Mother Empress did not care.

For her, the death of Devourers was just a loss of some life energy. Especially now that the battle was taking place within her own body, whether Devourers or humans died, the life energy would be directly absorbed by her, with little waste. The loss was negligible! She might even gain something, counting the dead warriors!

For the Mother Empress, her most important task now was to eliminate all the humans within her body, so that her crisis could be completely resolved. As for the consumption of energy, she did not care at all…
