“...Heavens…” Wen Chunjin never expected that a second King Insect would appear above the palace, and for a moment he felt a little desperate.

Meanwhile, other forces from the Federation and the Empire continued to annihilate the Zerg on the periphery, preventing more Zerg from approaching the palace.

To Wen Chunjin's surprise, this new King Insect, which was more in line with the characteristics of the Second King Insect in the textbook, immediately launched an attack on the monsters in the palace.

The Zerg that had been under control were thrown into chaos for a moment, but they soon began attacking the nearby human squads again.

The more intense attack caused some of the team's mechs to fall... In Cen Yu's view, some mechs were pierced and fell directly to the ground from the sky.

At this point, no one held back anymore.

Human mental energy always runs out. Cen Yu felt his brain starting to throb from using his abilities for so long... After crushing another Zerg, he suddenly felt something wet under his nose.

He instinctively reached up to wipe it away and saw the blood on his hand.

The system inside the mecha was warning him that his mental energy was already overloaded, and if he didn't stop, his head would explode—in a physical sense.

Cen Yu wiped away the blood again, but this time he was a little slower... Something had pierced through the mecha and directly stabbed his thigh.

The out-of-control mech immediately plummeted through the air, but the next second, Cen Yu regained control of the mech thanks to the pain, and used the mech's built-in firepower to pierce through the body of the low-level Zerg.

Gradually, the Zerg suddenly stopped attacking them.

Cen Yu's nose was still bleeding... He looked in the direction of the palace and saw that the monster that the old emperor had turned into had been pierced through the body by the newly appeared King Worm.

The Zerg, who had been fighting, suddenly stopped, giving them a brief respite.

Cen Yu piloted the mecha towards the palace. Huo Shen saw this and wanted to stop him, but in the end, he didn't speak in the channel.

Chi Jiazhen, controlling the Zerg, sensed a new "leader," and the Zerg were slowly leaving the vicinity of Star City.

Cen Yu glanced at the giant insect in front of him. As he approached, he laboriously reached out and patted Chi Jiazhen's head—probably the head—Cen Yu thought uncertainly.

The Queen Insect glanced at Cen Yu, then slowly flew away... The other insects followed their new Queen Insect and left the vicinity of the palace.

Cen Yu's mecha landed.

The monster slowly shrank in his sight, eventually transforming back into the old emperor's appearance... This was the first time Cen Yu had ever seen the emperor of this empire in person.

He struggled on the ground, seemingly trying to say something, perhaps offering gold and silver treasures to the owner of the gleaming silver mech in front of him to spare him.

Cen Yu simply looked at him, and then he extended the mechanical arm of his mecha—

"...You've all been deceived by Li Chonghe..." The old emperor made a hoarse sound, "...He was too..."

Cen Yu raised his hand, and the ray pierced through the old emperor's head.

He lowered his arm and looked at the dead old emperor. Two minutes later, the rest of the team arrived late.

Huo Shen looked at the dead old emperor. If the old emperor hadn't died, given that he was the emperor of the empire and there were certain nobles in Xingdu... it was still a question mark whether he would have been executed immediately. The fact that the old emperor died now was the best outcome.

Huo Shen directly wiped away the wound on the old emperor's head caused by the mecha ray.

Cen Yu glanced at the penetrating wound on his leg and spoke in the channel—

"Someone come save me, I'm going to lose too much blood and pass out."
