World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1601 - 410: Battle on the Moon (Part 8)_2

After all, the consumption of the Burning Sky Fire Python is too enormous. Even if she expends all of her Dark Spiritual Power, at most she can only last for a few minutes.

What can be done in a few minutes?

At best, forcing the insect swarm to retreat temporarily is the limit.

Lin Sisi immediately contacted Su Changqing through remote communication, telling him to quickly take this opportunity to find Naphaya.

The Moon Base cannot be lost, not to mention that Zhang Xiaoman’s World Tree is planted here. The consequences of losing the Moon Base are something humans cannot afford.

If the Moon falls completely into the hands of the Desert Worms, it will become a base from which they attack Water Blue Star. Then, with mining and base construction at humanity’s doorstep, they would have no chance to turn the tables.

At this point, Su Changqing hesitated no longer, gritting his teeth and flying towards the Tree Gate.

Meanwhile, Pei Lingsu, Su Fu, and others also hurried to the battlefield to provide support.

Their abilities were outstanding within the Star Alliance, especially Pei Lingsu, whose Dark Spiritual Power inflicted double damage, working together with other companions to deadlock three Rock Armors’ attacks.

Over there, Lin Sisi was not idle either. She used the last of her remaining Dark Spiritual Power to control the Burning Sky Fire Python for one final big move.

The Flame Python suddenly rose up, biting down on a low-flying Rock Armor, its massive body quickly wrapping it up, and holding it tight.

The Rock Armor cried out in pain, with hundreds of tentacles flailing up and down but unable to deter the Python even slightly.

The tentacles burned off directly upon contact with the Dark Spiritual Power flames on the Python’s body, unable to rescue the main body.

The surrounding insect swarm was thrown into chaos, rushing forward desperately to protect it, but they were like moths to a flame, diving into the inferno and disappearing.

There were so many insects, but not without those that could harm the Flame Python.

They were like greatly enlarged locusts.

About the size of an adult buffalo, with rotund bodies, astonishing jumping power, and a single leap that could propel them several hundred meters into the air, and they could even fly short distances.

This insect’s ability was quite special—it executes a self-destructive attack that harms a thousand enemies at a cost of ten thousand to itself.

They charged in swarms, leaping towards the Flame Python and self-destructing just before its flames could melt them.

The power of these insects’ self-destruction was formidable, and what was most deadly was their self-destruct damage being pure Dark Spiritual Power, posing a significant threat to the Flame Python.

Luckily, the insects’ bodies were still limited in size, even if they were larger than the average adult human, they couldn’t compare to the Flame Python, thousands of meters long.

Before more insects accumulated, the Flame Python, entwined with the Rock Armor, executed its final big move—a suicide burn mutual destruction technique.

A Flame Python composed of fire self-immolating might sound incredible, but it indeed happened right before everyone’s eyes.

The fire on the Python’s surface suddenly blazed with more intense brightness, like a golden sun, so dazzling that people couldn’t open their eyes.

The burning Dark Spiritual Power flames massively increased in power, and the stalemate with the Rock Armor quickly turned around.

The Flame Python’s body wrapped tightly around the opponent, finally burning straight through it.

As the Flame Python constricted, the Rock Armor shrieked and began to disintegrate.

Its constricted parts caved in, finally being shredded into pieces by the melting Python.

Having completed this feat, the Flame Python vanished amidst the blinding flames.

This move, labeled as self-immolation, was actually an extreme blossoming.

The Flame Python unleashed all its energy in a short time, perishing together with its foe.

Finally, another Rock Armor was eliminated, the second one destroyed by humans since the Insect Race invaded the Moon.

But with 9 Rock Armors left, Lin Sisi was utterly powerless now.

Perhaps she could attempt another Burning Sky Fire Python after recovery, but the Moon Base would surely be destroyed in the process.

Hope rested on Su Changqing’s side now, praying they bring Naphaya, whose intervention could aid humanity through this crisis.

Yet as Lin Sisi and others awaited reinforcements, a scene unfolded that left everyone dumbfounded.

In space, new wormholes appeared, and in front of all humanity, three more Rock Armors emerged through the cosmos.

"Another three!"

The crowd was genuinely unsettled, as the previous few hadn’t been dealt with, yet suddenly three more arrived; how many more reinforcements did these insects have?

Perhaps three doesn’t seem like much, but the frequency of these reinforcements terrified everyone.

Now it’s three; what if another three come next?

If this continued several times a day, within a month, the entire Milky Way might not hold them all.

"Is this the Desert Worm Clan’s strength..."

Someone muttered vacantly, forgetting to act, eyes blankly watching the three new Rock Armors.

At this moment, some finally realized they weren’t facing a feeble Alien Species in single combat, but a genuine interstellar Insect Race civilization.

After all, the "Alien Species Manual" contained information about the Desert Worms, noting they were a Dominator Level interstellar race.

Though humanity made rapid strides with Dark Spiritual Power and advanced technology in a few years, their foundation remained weak compared to a bona fide interstellar race.

Among the newly appeared Rock Armors, one was extraordinarily large, over three times the size of the others.

Floating in the sky, it practically blotted the sun, making one’s scalp tingle, its oppressive presence almost suffocating.

Even Lin Sisi, usually confident in Naphaya, wavered internally when faced with such a terrifying opponent.

Could that Holy Angel truly contend with such a foe?

This thought lingered in her mind.

Meanwhile, Su Changqing searching for reinforcements in the Original Realm came up empty.

Passing through the Tree Gate, he discovered no sign of Naphaya on the other side.

"What... How could this be? Where is Naphaya!?"

Su Changqing’s face changed dramatically.

Naphaya was their strongest card at the moment.

Though using this card carried great risk, in such dire circumstances, who could care about that, the key was eliminating the insects.

On the way, Su Changqing rehearsed countless times in his mind his reasons and script for asking Naphaya to act.

If everything went according to his script, requesting Naphaya’s help this time should end as before, without major fallout.

But to his surprise, the script went wrong from the start, for the target he sought wasn’t even here!

Naphaya, Zhang Xiaoman’s appointed Gatekeeper, was responsible for guarding pathways from the Original Realm to the universe.

Yet now the Gatekeeper wasn’t at the gate, which was completely unexpected.

Su Changqing knew some things about Naphaya; as a Holy Angel, he had no human needs, and Zhang Xiaoman’s deterrents should prevent him from leaving at will.

"Not here, could it be... did he know about the situation on the Moon and leave early to assist...?"

Su Changqing pondered momentarily, finally finding a plausible explanation.
