The insect swarm is coming, and the army is in despair! Lin Yuan: That's it?

That sea of blood-colored stars was rapidly approaching!

It was only then that everyone finally saw the true face of that crimson light!

They were eyes!

Endless, crimson compound eyes filled with tyranny, greed, and hunger!

Next came their main bodies!

They were malformed monsters that looked as if they had crawled out of the deepest nightmares!

They had insect-like bodies covered in dark purple carapaces, but their size was larger than a battle tank! From their hideous mouthparts, green slime capable of corroding space itself continuously dripped!

Beneath their abdomens were dozens of pairs of limbs shaped like sharp sickles!

Void Zerg!

"Hiss— Hiss— Hiss—!"

The piercing, scalp-numbing screeches converged into a terrifying wave of sound capable of tearing the Soul apart, exploding within this space of Chaos!

"Fire!!"

Ivan, the general of North Bear Country, was the first to react, letting out a heart-wrenching roar!

"Fire at will!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tens of thousands of elite warriors from various countries simultaneously unleashed their most powerful attacks at that moment!

The brilliance of magic!

The torrent of Battle Qi!

The artillery fire of technology!

Countless attacks containing terrifying energy, like a brilliant galaxy flowing upstream, slammed fiercely toward the insect tide that blotted out the sky!

However!

A scene of despair occurred!

Those attacks, which were powerful enough to easily shatter mountains, were like stones dropped into the ocean the moment they touched the insect tide, failing to stir even the slightest ripple!

Those Void Zerg didn't even make a move to dodge!

The dark purple carapaces on their bodies seemed capable of swallowing all energy!

They tanked all the attacks head-on!

"How... how is this possible?!"

A mage from Europa watched as his Forbidden Spell fireball, powerful enough to incinerate a city, was easily swallowed by a single bug, his face filled with worldview-shattering horror!

"Our attacks... are ineffective?!"

My God! What kind of monsters are these?!"

Even attacks were ineffective!

How were they supposed to fight this?!

And that terrifying insect tide, after easily blocking all attacks, did not slow down in the slightest!

They were getting closer and closer!

Everyone could already clearly smell the nauseating stench emanating from them!

The shadow of death loomed over everyone!

However, at this critical moment...

"Tsk."

A click of the tongue, filled with disdain, clearly reached everyone's ears.

Lin Yuan finally moved.

He looked at the massive insect tide, his face showing an unmasked expression of disappointment.

"After all that build-up, is that it?"

"And here I thought it would be something impressive."

"Just a bunch of underdeveloped larvae, yet you dare come out and make fools of yourselves?"

His voice wasn't loud.

But in this deathly silent Chaos space where only the screeching of the Zerg remained, it sounded exceptionally clear.

Everyone looked at Lin Yuan with the kind of gaze one would give a madman.

Larvae?

You're calling these monsters, which can tank even Forbidden Spells, larvae?!

Then how terrifying would their adult forms be?!

However, Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention to the crowd's reaction.

He just slowly took out a crystal-clear, diamond-shaped red crystal from his robes, which was condensed from countless Ghost Peppers.

He tossed the crystal lightly on his fingertips.

He looked as if he weren't facing a terrifying insect tide capable of destroying the world.

But rather, as if he were considering whether to have spicy hotpot or spicy crayfish for dinner.

"Originally, I wanted to prepare a big gift for the big guys behind you."

Lin Yuan looked at the insect tide that was already close at hand and curled his lip.

"Since you're in such a hurry to die..."

"Then let's start the funeral early."

With that said.

He flicked his finger!

Swoosh—!

That small, harmless-looking red crystal turned into an insignificant streak of light and shot into the massive, sky-blotting insect tide.

The next second.

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers.

"Burst."

The moment the red crystal entered the insect tide, it shattered with a bang.

Immediately after!

An indescribable, crimson and eerie light erupted violently with the crystal as the center!

That was not light on a physical level!

That was Soul-Burning Light that acted directly on the Soul level!

It was the ultimate form of Ultra-Concentrated Capsaicin, catalyzed by Lin Yuan's Origin power to simulate one percent of the effect of a 'Soul-Burning Crystal'!

Hiss— Awooo—!!!!!!!

The moment that red light spread!

The Void Zerg, who had been ferocious, tyrannical, and invincible just a second ago, let out the shrillest, most painful, and most unearthly terrifying wails ever heard!

Their Souls were being scorched!

Their cores were being corroded!

It was an extreme pain originating from the very Origin of life, impossible to resist or evade!

The massive insect tide instantly fell into Chaos!

Countless Void Zerg were like mad dogs whose butts had been scorched by red-hot irons, frantically rolling, struggling, and crashing into each other in the Chaos space!

Their indestructible carapaces were now cracking inch by inch from the inside!

Crimson, lava-like cracks covered their entire bodies!

Then!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One massive Void Zerg after another exploded in mid-air like detonated fireworks!

They turned into clouds of dark purple, foul-smelling blood mist!

This was a one-sided, inhumane massacre!

That eerie red light was still spreading frantically!

Wherever it passed, insect corpses rained down!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The entire Chaos space was dyed a hellish blood-red!

And the culprit behind all this, Lin Yuan, watched it all with a calm and composed air.

"Hmm, the effect is pretty good."

"It's just a bit... noisy."

He nodded with satisfaction as he watched the insect tide being cleared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was the true 'big gift' he had prepared for the Void Zerg!

Immune to physical attacks?

Swallowing energy attacks?

I'm sorry.

I'm attacking the Soul!

And at this moment.

At the rear of the battlefield.

The tens of thousands of elite warriors from various countries, including Su Li, Yan Wu Xiaolie, Ivan, and the others...

Every single one of them was petrified.

They stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the purgatory-like bloody scene ahead.

Their brains had completely stalled.

Pep... Peppers?

Using peppers... to wipe out an entire terrifying Void Zerg army that even Forbidden Spells couldn't scratch?!

What... what kind of insane, god-tier operation is this?!

Roar—!!!

Just then.

From the very rear of the insect tide came a psychic roar filled with terror and rage!

A Leader-class Void Zerg, several times larger than the others, had watched its army be slaughtered by that eerie red light.

It didn't dare to stay for another second!

It turned around, wanting to flee back into the depths of the endless Chaos!
