On the massive circular main screen in front of Yuan Mei, all data streams regarding the Golden Emperor's scale energy flow and the progress of pyramid rune analysis were instantly cleared.
A real-time battlefield holographic projection from the Mariana Trench, carrying strong energy interference waves, forcefully occupied the entire center of his vision like a Hell scroll.
Dying Breakers, twisted and ferocious invading monsters, swarms of He Bo Insects fiercely counterattacking, and that enormous light hole, like a demon's eye, emitting a pale white light and continuously spewing out more monsters.
At the edge of the screen, data representing life intensity and energy Rank cascaded down like a waterfall, the sheer number of values making one's scalp tingle.
"Dominator above…"
Yuan Mei murmured, his voice hoarse.
He was not afraid, but rather shocked by the terrifying energy fluctuations, far exceeding expectations, continuously gushing from the light hole.
That was definitely not a single monster, but a well-trained army from another world.
He instantly understood why the He Bo Insect swarm was almost completely annihilated—they encountered not wild beasts, but war machines like themselves.
Without the slightest hesitation!
Yuan Mei suddenly reached into his embrace, moving like lightning, his fingertips touching the cold sphere he kept close to his body—the evolution origin point.
Its surface flowed with a faint blue nebula glow, and inside it seemed to contain a miniature black hole, emitting heart-palpitating spatial fluctuations.
"Buzz!"
The core of the origin point suddenly lit up.
A mighty and irresistible spatial power instantly enveloped Yuan Mei.
The light around him violently twisted and collapsed, and his entire being seemed to be clutched and stretched by an invisible cosmic giant hand, instantly vanishing from his original spot.
Only a rapidly rotating, then annihilating, miniature spatial vortex remained in his place, along with the lingering scent of scorched ozone, forcibly displaced from the air.
......
Iron-Blood World · Bug Clan Main Base
Zhou Qi floated cross-legged above the cold, dark gold throne, his planetary-Rank Mental Energy like an invisible tide, silently sweeping across the entire Iron-Blood territory.
The thought fluctuations of billions of Bug Clan Family members, the roar of energy furnaces, the life signals of newly hatched units… everything was under his control.
He was immersed in the subtle perception of his growing power, like a star slowly expanding in gravitational equilibrium.
Suddenly!
Buzz!
The space in front of the throne tore without warning.
A distorted figure was "vomited" out as if by space itself!
It was Yuan Mei.
He stumbled a step before steadying himself, his face slightly pale from the high-speed spatial jump, but his eyes burned with an urgent flame.
"Dominator!" Yuan Mei knelt on one knee, his voice trembling slightly from the spatial shock, yet clear as day, "Urgent military intelligence! Mariana Trench, an alien civilization has invaded! The first batch of units are all Divine Rank existences, and our He Bo Insect vanguard… is almost completely wiped out!"
Zhou Qi slowly opened his eyes.
In those molten-gold vertical pupils, the light, originally as serene as a sea of stars, suddenly solidified.
An invisible pressure, enough to solidify the air of the entire main base, instantly permeated the area.
The alloy ground around the throne let out a groaning "creak" under the immense strain.
"Oh?"
Zhou Qi's voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain the thunder of an impending storm.
He did not immediately ask for details, but instead, his gaze, like a tangible probe, instantly pierced into Yuan Mei's Sea of Consciousness.
Boom!
Yuan Mei felt as if his brain had been thrown into a vortex of information.
Everything he had seen and felt in the Mariana Trench—the pale light hole, the grotesque Breakers, the ferocity of the monsters, the tragic resistance of the He Bo Insects, and the continuously gushing, even stronger energy fluctuations—was forcibly and unreservedly poured into Zhou Qi's Sea of Consciousness like a high-speed holographic movie.
The images flashed rapidly through Zhou Qi's mind: the terrifying power of the stitched behemoths, the tactical coordination of the monster swarm, the heart-palpitating subsequent fluctuations from deep within the light hole… every detail was instantly analyzed and evaluated by his planetary-Rank mind.
"Heh…"
A cold arc curved on Zhou Qi's lips, an arc that contained a hint of playfulness, a hint of offended anger, and… a hint of excitement at discovering new prey.
"I haven't even gone to trouble those old geezers in the Antarctic yet, and now some ignorant bugs have come to gnaw at my territory first?"
His thoughts raced, and his vast Mental Network instantly activated, an undeniable will, like invisible thunder, instantly blasting into the consciousness cores of two powerful existences deep within the base:
"Uka! Chronos!"
Deep within the Main Base · Training Ground
Uka, the dark black fifth-Rank Tai Cang Dragon, was prostrate beside a massive energy furnace, absorbing pure stellar radiation energy.
His body, covered in thick Dragon scales, was like a moving mountain, each breath bringing forth scorching Qi currents.
The moment Zhou Qi's will descended, his massive molten-gold vertical pupils suddenly opened wide.
A deep Dragon roar rumbled in his chest, carrying the excitement of being summoned and absolute obedience.
Chronos, the Lizardman King, was beside a bubbling biomass pool, supervising the conditioning of a new batch of high-Rank Lizardmen warriors.
His burly body was covered in dark green reinforced scales, and his thick tail unconsciously slapped the ground.
Zhou Qi's Mental command struck his mind like a heavy hammer, and he suddenly straightened his body, the crimson light in his eyes flaring, letting out a short, fierce hiss.
Their figures instantly vanished from their original spots, and the next moment, they appeared like ghosts beneath Zhou Qi's throne, kneeling on one knee.
"Dominator!" Their voices overlapped, carrying an iron-blooded loyalty.
Zhou Qi's gaze swept over them, like an emperor scrutinizing the sharp swords about to go to war.
He raised his hand, and above his palm, two evolution origin points glowing with faint blue starlight materialized out of thin air, emitting strong spatial fluctuations.
"Uka!"
Zhou Qi's voice was decisive and contained undeniable majesty, "Take it! The coordinates are already imprinted within! Target—Mariana Trench Light Hole! Depart immediately! Your mission: pin them down there! Establish a teleportation beacon, hold the position at all costs until the main army arrives!"
The evolution origin point, as if held by an invisible hand, flew precisely towards Uka.
Uka's massive Dragon claw carefully cupped it, and the origin point embedded itself into a specialized scale groove in his palm, its faint blue light instantly resonating with the energy within his body.
"Yes, Dominator! Your will is where my claws shall strike!" Uka let out an earth-shattering Dragon roar, and a burning Battle Intent that could incinerate everything blazed in his molten-gold vertical pupils.
Spatial power fluctuated again, and his massive Dragon body instantly collapsed and vanished.
Only a circle of scorching air ripples and a piercing sonic boom remained in his place.
"Chronos!" Zhou Qi's gaze turned to the Lizardman King, "Full army, Rank One combat readiness. All combat-ready troops, assemble immediately. Target—Deep Sea Battlefield. Once Uka's beacon lights up, teleport at the first opportunity and crush the invaders."
Chronos responded with a savage roar.
He violently pounded his chest, his scale-covered fist colliding with his breastplate, producing a dull clang of metal.
"The Lizardmen's battle-axes are already thirsty; crush them."
He turned, his massive figure shooting like a cannonball towards the base's communication hub, and a furious Mental command instantly swept across the entire Iron-Blood World through the Bug Clan Network.
