Chapter 514: Chapter 508: Void Behemoth
Void Behemoth? Leviathan?
Finn Lewis’s pupils constricted violently. The name seemed vaguely familiar, and now connected to this being, his expression turned incredibly peculiar. “Zero, if I remember correctly, in the BF Game, isn’t there a star-transporting monster called Leviathan within the Insect Species?”
“Correct, I explained it in this way to make it easier for you to understand,” Zero responded succinctly.
Finn Lewis suddenly felt his head ache. You explained it correctly, but do you not realize how shocking this is?! Dammit!
“However, can you tell me the specifics about this thing?” Finn Lewis felt an indescribable pressure in his heart. Even though he could leave this space at any moment, he still felt an indescribable sense of terror. It was horrifying.
“Its size is roughly equivalent to Earth’s moon. Even for the Icarus Insect Species, giving birth to such a Leviathan is extremely challenging, requiring a significant amount of time, and even the resources of several planets. However, once it appears, it could almost be said to be invincible within the universe. Of course, relatively speaking. The Leviathan is not indestructible, but before you can destroy it, you have to withstand the relentless attacks of the psychoactive flying units housed inside it,” Zero finally decided to share more information.
The size of a moon… Finn Lewis nearly dropped his jaw. What the hell, is this thing even real? A creature as big as the moon is far-fetched even for the fearsome Insect Species. And these are space-traveling Insects. Just the thought of it was terrifying. Looking at the entity in the sky, Finn Lewis suddenly felt as if the world was beyond saving. He thought how lucky he was that he didn’t open the six-dimensional space to a permanent temporal channel. If he had, the consequences would undoubtedly be dire.
The fun could very well turn into disaster.
“Wait a minute. Zero, you just mentioned, for Icarus’s Insect Species, giving birth to such a Leviathan is extremely difficult?” Finn Lewis suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously.
“Correct!”
“Does that mean it holds a very high status amongst the Icarus’s Insect Species?” Finn Lewis asked swiftly.
“Given your intelligence, you should be able to figure that out.” Zero made a comment that almost made Finn Lewis curse out loud!
“Ok then, so basically, an important figure from the Insect Species has arrived, right? That’s what you mean? And you said before, the true governing layer of the Icarus’s Insect Species possesses high intellect that is in no way inferior to Wisdom Creatures like us humans, right?” Finn Lewis continued to inquire.
“Yes, but don’t hold your hopes too high. Understanding and wisdom are two different things. They might possess wisdom, but that doesn’t mean they think like you do. Each species has different ways of thinking. For example, their understanding of evolution may be survival of the fittest, and the weak are meant to be eliminated. This principle will never change,” Zero plainly replied.
“I understand, but that’s not what I meant. I’ve played StarCraft, and the insect hierarchy in that game is very similar to that of Icarus’s Insect Species. As far as I remember, wasn’t there a human who became the supreme leader of the insect species?” Finn Lewis asked, trying to gauge the situation. The Insect Species is powerful, isn’t it? It didn’t take much thought to realize that. This species, whose middle and lower classes make up the bulk of their military force, rarely possess wisdom. They fearlessly face death, and upon being commanded by the higher-ranking insects, even a single insect would dare to launch an attack on a planet. Their fighting capacity was off the charts.
Zero seemed to be speechless at Finn Lewis’s question. It took her about ten seconds to respond. “The caste system of the Icarus Insect Species is extremely hierarchical. Your suggestion is theoretically possible in a game, but unless you can kill the reigning Supreme Ruler of the insect species and take her place, you stand no chance. Do you think you can kill one? A mere leak of their psychic energy can annihilate your brain instantly…”
Sweat ran down Finn Lewis’s forehead. “You don’t have to put me down like that, do you? I mean, I still have you, right?”
“Your confidence in me is too much,” Zero frankly replied.
Finn Lewis was taken aback. This was the first time Zero had said something like this. Zero was always very confident before.
“Anyway, you still haven’t told me what this situation is all about,” Finn Lewis mentioned, pointing at the entity in the sky.
“Nothing much, it seems the Insect Species are preparing to fully occupy this planet and use it as a breeding ground,” Zero said casually.
Finn Lewis was stupefied for a moment. He was about to say something when suddenly there was a violent commotion behind him. Finn Lewis got startled, and Laura Rhodes even let out a scream. Although she quickly covered her mouth, it didn’t hide her fear. Normally, having witnessed numerous Parasite Humans, Laura shouldn’t have been scared to this extent. However, when Finn Lewis turned around, even his nerves tightened immediately.
“Quick! This way.” Finn Lewis instantly pulled the two kids into a nearby building. Normally, Finn Lewis would never do this, as no one knew whether there were Parasite Humans hiding inside these buildings. But at this moment, he didn’t have time to worry about that. Swarms of Parasite Humans burst from the city behind him, as though something was madly chasing them.
There were no Parasite Humans in this building. Finn Lewis led McDon Taylor and Laura Rhodes straight to the rooftop. The building wasn’t very high, only seven floors. Lying on the rooftop, Finn Lewis carefully looked down. The sight below was extraordinarily spectacular. It was like witnessing a mass migration of large animals in the Cana Kingdom or Liga State.
Countless Parasite Humans continuously rushed out of the city, then started to move swiftly in this direction. The Parasite Humans rushing out from every direction in the city quickly formed a vast river of bodies, making the scene seem exceedingly terrifying. Witnessing this, Finn Lewis felt a shiver down his spine, even though he had seen similar situations in biohazard movies before.
But the zombies in those biohazard movies didn’t possess such shocking force. These Parasite Humans were nearly pushing their strength and speed to their human limits. It was too horrifying.
Fortunately, perhaps due to some command, these Parasite Humans, controlled by infection bugs, completely ignored the existence of Finn Lewis, McDon Taylor, and Laura Rhodes, and they quickly rushed away. Just as Finn Lewis was contemplating what could be going on, suddenly, with a “boom,” the terrifying Void Behemoth in the sky violently sprouted a massive chunk of purplish-black matter. When this happened, the Void Behemoth in the sky was enveloped by purple light.
