The attack had an immediate effect; the remaining First Fleet members, who were previously unable to move and were trapped, immediately felt their ships' power restored.

"Sir, we can move now!"

The ship's pilots excitedly reported to their captains or commanders.

"Set sail! Set sail! Get out of here!"

All the movable spaceships were being roared at by the crew on the bridge, while the crew in the engine room were doing everything they could to maximize the power of their engines.

Only then did the voice of the commander of the No. 1 Fleet sound over the loudspeaker.

"All remaining ships, remove their shields and channel all the energy from the reactors into the engines. We must escape this terrifying wormhole as quickly as possible!"

Seeing that the attack was effective, the No. 5 fleet on the outer perimeter immediately increased its firepower.

"All spaceships, attack the opening created by the positron annihilation cannons. Prepare to deploy the bionic interference field generators, 20 in the first round!"

Surrounding and killing such a large aberration was unprecedented. Fear, tension and excitement permeated every crew member. The commanders, suppressing the trembling in their voices, issued one order after another.

The remaining ships of Fleet One, on the other hand, were like trapped people slowly pulling themselves out of the mud, struggling to escape step by step.

Roar~

Everyone felt a sudden jolt, and a silent roar that resounded through the void echoed in their hearts, clearly conveying two emotions: hunger and anger.

A bizarre, deep, electric-patterned monstrous worm appeared in its previously unseen lower body, as if space itself had been torn apart.

The blood-red color that had been blasted out spread again, and this time the color was even deeper.

The tear in space grew wider and wider, as if some enormous object was trying to squeeze out and was being torn apart because it could not withstand the force.

Roar~~

Another deafening roar echoed through the hearts of the survivors. Among the nearby remnants of the First Fleet, including those of more perceptive races such as the Mosuo or Gaesbians, bodily fluids seeped from their mouths and noses, and their faces were filled with terror.

They saw nothing, but mentally, a dark terror, as if blotting out the sky, had enveloped them. They were now relentlessly chasing after an abyss, their fear accompanied by a sense of weightlessness, their hearts pounding like a twitching motor.

"Smack~ Plop~~"

Finally, one of the Mosuo people couldn't take it anymore. Blood gushed from his head and mouth, and his eyeballs burst open as if two small watermelons had been smashed.

Fleet 5 couldn't withstand the pressure either, but it was still much better than Fleet 1, which was right next to the monster.

"Fire! Fire! Don't hesitate! Don't hesitate! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"

"Deploy the bionic force field interference generator, recharge the positron annihilation cannon, fire immediately when ready, no need to wait for my order!"

But on the other side, the monstrous worm seemed to be wriggling out bit by bit from the other half of that void.

From little by little to swarms, the giant worms appeared faster and faster, their bodies grew longer and longer, and they became thicker and thicker as they grew.

Countless energy beams and kinetic energy projectiles attacked the enormous insect, making it impossible for it to miss, but they were like scratching an itch through a boot, having virtually no effect on it.

The positron annihilation cannon finally completed its recharging, and with a flash of light at the muzzle, the massive energy body was launched instantly.

But this time, just before the positron annihilation cannon was fired, the monstrous worm moved at an odd angle with an agility disproportionate to its size. The worm's body seemed to wriggle into an Ω (Omega) shape in an instant, and the annihilation energy passed through it by a hair's breadth, only wearing away the outer ring of blood-red light.

Driven by a small carrier engine, 20 simulated bionic field interference generators approached the monster, but lost power upon contact with the surrounding scarlet aura, becoming unresponsive like firecrackers soaked in water.

At this point, not only did the First Fleet find itself stuck in the quagmire again, unable to move, but the Fifth Fleet also discovered that its ships' warp drives and jump drives could no longer be started, with only the conventional low-speed engines still functioning.

However, this type of low-speed engine is more like something used when a fleet is arrayed or anchored, and it's not much faster than crawling in outer space.

As Ju Chong's body grew larger and larger, the initial ratio of a giant snake to a tadpole was no longer applicable.

Only then did they realize that what the giant worm had shown earlier was not its front half, and what was hidden behind it was not its hind half or a tail.

When the giant worm stopped wriggling outwards, the exposed part of its body was more than ten times longer than before, and the thickest part was more than ten times thicker than before.

At this point, the location of Fleet One made it difficult to see the entire body of the giant insect using optical observation. All they could see was that disgusting, soul-crushing red color and the circular segments on the insect's body. Occasionally, they could see the outer corner of a segment of the body.

The horrific wounds left by the first positron annihilation cannon attack are no longer visible; perhaps they have been concealed, or perhaps they have already healed.

The fleet's feeble attacks contrasted sharply with the terrifying monsters that suffocated them.

A sense of despair began to spread.

'We're afraid we can't go back...'

...

Li Shengyao stood on the bridge of the flagship, his right fist clenched tightly, sweat beading on his forehead, while the other generals of the Protos fleet also looked tense and excited.

The entire fleet's staff is now in the flagship's bridge, where a huge virtual 3D sand table has been displayed.

Above, the gigantic, terrifying monstrous red worm thrashed wildly in the void of space, making the alien alliance's attacking fleet seem like tiny sesame seeds in comparison.

At this point, humanity could no longer afford to worry about the casualties of the alien fleet.

"That thing... is it a being of Demon King level or higher?!"

Li Shengyao murmured involuntarily.

"What about the analysis and assessment by the General Staff and the Operations Department? On the surface, what are our chances of winning against it? We've taken all the fleet's trump cards into account."

Without Li Shengyao's instructions, the General Staff and the Operations Analysis Department had already been in operation, and were using the little fairy to communicate with the psionic spirits and other sensory creatures to check on the condition of the abomination.

Because the existing conditions were not sufficient, the approximate result was quickly obtained by mainly estimating the outer defensive blood-red light, the body's ability to withstand and recover from alien weapons, and the spatial capabilities that might exist by inferring from the tearing of space.

"General, if Protoss mobilizes his entire fleet and is prepared to reveal all his secrets, our identity is roughly 50% likely."

Li Shengyao stared at the 3D screen in a daze.

"Half and half..."

Has the World Tree Council sent any message?

A little fairy, carrying specks of light, flew to Li Shengyao's side.

"The observer's point is that we should adapt to the situation and make our own decisions."

very good!

A smile began to appear on Li Shengyao's lips. It was like children playing house, fighting several battles whose outcome was already known, which was really too boring.

"Are you itching to fight? All commanders and soldiers of the fleet, are you itching to fight?"

There was no response, but a tense, excited, and eager spirit permeated the entire Proto fleet, growing stronger and stronger.

"Excellent! Protoss Space Fleet, prepare for psionic teleportation. Target: Giant Insect at coordinate X!"
