134: Experimental subject goes berserk

The magic bottle Small World, a space that had just been revitalized by the Life and Death Thunder Pool and begun to evolve the Dao charm of Reincarnation, had now transformed into the most primitive hunting ground and a Hell of devouring.

[sequence 000 Experimental Subject]—that monster born with the Bug Empress's genes as its core—had not a shred of reason in its cold, dark-gold pupils, only an absolute greed for evolution and energy.

It moved.

It was not a simple physical movement, but a bizarre flicker closer to spatial teleportation!

One second it was hovering above the Life and Death Thunder Pool, and the next, it had appeared amidst a group of low-level Worker Bees transporting resources!

There was no roar, no warning; the black jade-like biological carapace on its surface squirmed like a living thing, instantly extending countless, infinitesimally fine, black fungal-like tentacles that effortlessly pierced into the bodies of those Worker Bees!

Sizzle—!

A dense, teeth-gritting sound of absorption rang out!

Those Worker Bees could not even sound an alarm before they instantly shriveled, withered, and turned into fly ash!

Their meager energy and biomass were completely plundered, becoming the Experimental Subject's initial nourishment.

The Experimental Subject casually swung its scorpion-like tail blade, sweeping away a cloud of fly ash, and the rotation speed of the star vortex in its dark-gold pupils accelerated slightly.

It seemed to have "tasted" the sweetness; in its cold consciousness, the hunger not only did not diminish but was completely ignited and magnified!

Its gaze instantly locked onto the deeper parts of the Small World, toward those sequence units with stronger auras—the remnants of the Star Corpse Guards practicing combined attacks, the patrolling Thunder Abyss Octopuses, and even... the several Thunderwood Ghost Generals guarding various locations!

"Alert! The Experimental Subject has begun indiscriminate attacks!"

"Target: All non-Empress gene sequence units!"

"Devouring speed... incalculable! Energy Rank rapidly climbing!"

In Mo Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, the alerts from the magic bottle flooded his mind!

His face was icy, and he attempted to forcibly suppress it through the Sentient Thunder Codex, only to find that his Divine Sense connection was like crashing into a living barrier that was constantly growing and devouring; not only could he not penetrate it, but he was in danger of being eroded in reverse!

"All combat sequences! Intercept it! At any cost!" The cold command instantly spread throughout the Small World.

The nearest several Star Corpse Guards reacted first; though startled, they were not panicked, immediately forming a small Star Thunder Lock Formation, as chains of thunder light wound around it!

However, those thunder locks, capable of trapping and killing a Nascent Soul, were instantly absorbed and devoured upon contact with the Experimental Subject's surface by that layer of flowing black jade carapace!

The Experimental Subject did not even glance at them, merely waving its hand casually!

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Those few Star Corpse Guards were hit as if by an invisible giant hammer; their Star Corpse armor instantly shattered, and their bodies disintegrated in mid-air, turning into the purest stream of energy, which the Experimental Subject inhaled and swallowed into its belly!

Even their Nascent Souls could not escape!

Its energy Rank instantly broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

More sequence units gathered around; the Thunder Abyss Octopuses spat out tentacles that drained spiritual power, and the Thunderwood Ghost Generals swung their Nether Thunder Sha!

Attacks fell like raindrops!

But it was ineffective! Completely ineffective!

Any form of energy attack, upon approaching it within a certain range, would be significantly weakened or even absorbed by that layer of bizarre biological carapace!

Physical attacks were even harder to penetrate its defenses!

Instead, every flicker, every wave of its hand, every thrust of its tail blade could easily take the "lives" of several or even dozens of sequence units!

It was not fighting, it was... harvesting! It was feeding!

Devouring! Madly devouring!

The Star Corpse Guards' Star Power, the Thunder Abyss Octopuses' Void Realm thunder power, the Thunderwood Ghost Generals' Nether Death Qi... everything became the provisions for its evolution!

Its body size expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its aura surged wildly as if it had no limit!

Nascent Soul Late Stage... Soul Transformation Early Stage...

It even began to actively attack the structure of the Small World itself!

It forcibly tore off a piece of the edge of the Life and Death Thunder Pool and devoured it, crudely integrating the contained Law of Life and Death into itself!

The earth split open, and the sky trembled!

The magic bottle Small World, this most important Foundation ground for Mo Yuan, was being rapidly hollowed out and digested from within!

"Forced expulsion! Expel it from the magic bottle!" Mo Yuan made a prompt decision, attempting to manipulate the magic bottle's Law to expel it.

However, the Experimental Subject seemed to perceive the spatial fluctuations; it let out a sharp hiss, and the power containing fragments of the Empress's will temporarily interfered with the magic bottle's internal Law!

Expulsion failed!

Instead, it took advantage of this fluctuation to violently smash through the Small World's spatial barrier and rush out directly!

Boom!

The Experimental Subject's twisted and powerful body, now expanded to nearly a hundred zhang in height, appeared ferociously above the Central Plaza of Floating Ink City!

At this moment, after its frenzied devouring, its form had undergone an even more terrifying change!

Its body no longer maintained a roughly humanoid shape, but had become a monster impossible to describe in words, pieced together from the features of countless devoured sequence units!

A carapace covered in Star Corpse patterns, octopus-like tentacles, the Ghost Generals' Nether bone spurs, and even simulated Thunderstorm Bee Swarms circling its body...

The energy fluctuations it emitted had reached the terrifying [Soul Transformation Late Stage], and had even... touched the edge of the Void Refining stage!

[Ten Thousand Zhang Bug God]! A deformed destroyer forcibly fused and evolved from thousands of sequences!

"Awoo—!!!"

It let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar; the sound waves, mixed with chaotic energy shocks, instantly destroyed a large area of buildings around the plaza!

Countless low-level sequence creatures exploded and died directly in this roar!

Its chaotic head, filled with countless compound eyes, turned and instantly locked onto the points in the city with the most concentrated energy—the command center, the energy furnace, and... the dual-patterned magic bottle suspended in the air!

Greed! Extreme greed!

It could feel that by devouring that bottle, it would obtain unimaginable evolution!

It strode forward with giant feet pieced together from the limbs of countless Thunderwood Ghost Generals, crossing several miles in a single step, and stomped toward the direction of the command center!

A huge shadow enveloped the entire city!

Indiscriminate attack! It wanted to turn everything before it into food!

Mo City had ushered in the greatest crisis since its birth, and the enemy stemmed from its own most insane plan!

Mo Yuan looked at the terrifying Bug God on the light screen that blotted out the sky and sun, and watched the fires and Chaos erupting everywhere in the city; his face was so gloomy it was almost dripping water.

Playing with fire and getting burned?

No.

He had released a... Chaos Vicious Beast... capable of devouring the star sea!

It must be stopped! At all costs!
