Chapter 437: Chapter 220: Alien Insect Nest

High in the sky, a majestic tower hovered in mid-air, shimmering with a somber luster under the sunlight.

Cameron stared wide-eyed at the sky, his face a mask of pure shock.

Rashim and Gonzalo also stopped what they were doing, gaping at the giant tower in the sky.

"W-What is that?"

"It looks like... a Wizard Tower?"

The words "Wizard Tower" reached Cameron’s ears, jolting him back to his senses as an expression of irrepressible joy spread across his face.

’A Wizard Tower appearing here at a time like this... Its master could only be *him*.’

This sudden development made the swarm’s assault from the rear pause for a moment, as if they were stunned.

But soon, the swarm responded.

In the next instant, hundreds of Golden Light Insects switched their target, redirecting a dense barrage of annihilation beams toward the Wizard Tower.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Alien Insects and the Star Realm Alliance had often been at war, fighting fiercely over control of various planes.

The enmity between the two sides ran deep.

Thus, upon recognizing it as a Wizard Tower, the Alien Insect Nest at the rear issued the attack order without hesitation.

Cameron’s heart skipped a beat as he watched hundreds of annihilation beams converge on the Wizard Tower like a torrential storm.

But he soon discovered his worries were unnecessary.

A distorted, rainbow-hued light screen suddenly materialized on the Wizard Tower’s surface, wrapping it in an airtight seal.

When the annihilation beams struck it, they vanished without a trace, like drops of water falling into the ocean, failing to cause even the slightest ripple.

Immediately after, the light screen faded. The Wizard Tower hummed, and with a series of sharp cracks, dark apertures opened up all over the surface of its obsidian walls. An abstruse and complex Rune Array materialized a few centimeters in front of each opening.

The next moment, the Rune Arrays blazed with intense light. Beams of brilliant, dazzling golden light shot out, silently crossing several kilometers to plow swiftly through the swarm of Golden Light Insects!

Wherever the light passed, the Golden Light Insects didn’t even have time to cry out. The instant they touched the golden light, they were silently disintegrated, reduced to the finest particles that dissipated into the air.

In just an instant, the hundreds of Golden Light Insects were wiped out. Along with them, over a thousand other Alien Insects caught in the vicinity were also annihilated!

This scene left Cameron, Rashim, and Gonzalo utterly speechless and shaken to their core.

They had thought the annihilation beams of the Golden Light Insects were terrifying enough, but they never expected the light fired from the Wizard Tower to be several times more powerful!

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand Alien Insects had been disintegrated without a trace!

Such terrifying power!

The death of the Golden Light Insects threw the swarm into a commotion.

But Alien Insects don’t feel fear. The deaths of their comrades, far from making them retreat, only served to fully unleash their ferocity.

In an instant, most of the flying Alien Insects gave up on the Black Hole Monster and charged toward the Wizard Tower.

Unfortunately, they were completely unable to break through the rainbow-hued light screen. They could only circle futilely around the perimeter, only to be swept from the sky by beams from the Rune Arrays and instantly reduced to ash.

With the appearance of the Wizard Tower, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. The Alien Insects, who had previously held the upper hand, were now suppressed, with vast numbers perishing under the Wizard Tower’s assault.

「On the Stargazing Platform.」

Pei Ze looked down upon the battlefield below, his expression calm.

He had handed over complete command of the battle to Tower Spirit 2. The Maze Locking Protective Energy Field and the Spell Towers were both under Tower Spirit 2’s control; from beginning to end, he was merely an observer on the sidelines.

The power of the Wizard Tower did not disappoint him.

On the battlefield, a Wizard Tower was essentially a mobile artillery platform that doubled as a troop transport—and one with extremely ferocious firepower at that.

As long as no Level 4 or Level 5 Alien Insects made a move, a few tens of thousands of ordinary Alien Insects posed no threat to the Wizard Tower.

There was no need to even deploy the Thunder God Golems. The Spell Towers alone were enough to completely overwhelm the tens of thousands of Alien Insects.

’And this is just a partially upgraded Medium-sized Wizard Tower. A large one would have even more intense firepower.’

A thought suddenly flashed through Pei Ze’s mind.

’I wonder what kind of power a Floating City would have?’

Tining stood beside Pei Ze, staring intently at the scene outside the tower, her eyes filled with awe.

This was the first time she had witnessed the power of a Wizard Tower with her own eyes.

It was even more powerful than the legends claimed!

She asked herself honestly, ’If I were the one facing this Wizard Tower, I’d be blasted to bits without a doubt.’

This filled her with a heartfelt sense of awe for the wondrous creations of Wizards.

HUMMM!

A sudden, dull, thunderous hum rang out, drawing the attention of both the man and the deer.

At the rear of the battlefield, a massive number of Alien Insects surged forward like a tide, joining the fray and radiating an overwhelming killing intent.

There were at least a hundred thousand of them by visual estimate.

Having sensed the threat posed by the Wizard Tower, the Alien Insect Nest could no longer hold back and had committed all its forces.

Within the dense swarm, a formation of over a thousand Golden Light Insects stood out.

However, what drew even more attention were the three gigantic Alien Insects hovering above the swarm. They were as massive as mountains, blood-red all over, with wings of the same color sprouting from their backs.

"Blood-winged Insects!"

Tining’s expression grew grave.

The Alien Insects were famous throughout the Multiverse for their swarm tactics; the defining trait of their species was sheer numbers.

A single Alien Insect Nest could easily hatch an Alien Insect Army a million strong.

In contrast, the individual strength of the Alien Insects was generally low, and it was rare for powerful elite individuals to appear.

Often, only a single Level 4 Alien Insect might be found among tens of thousands of its kind.
