The Last Commander of the Red Alert

General Executioner possessed three bodies facing different directions, each wielding enormous wave energy blades. With every strike, ripples spread across the Matricide Beetle's body.

Surprisingly, its attacks were indeed having some impact on the Matricide Beetle, indicating that General Executioner's strength had reached the level of a Small Galaxy.

The only regret was that General Executioner was limited to land-based movement and couldn't fly.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Simultaneously, retaliatory power surged from the Matricide Beetle, crashing into General Executioner, but apart from some noise, it had no effect whatsoever.

General Executioner was an immensely armored superweapon, its three bodies constantly shifting and launching fierce attacks without interruption, filling the air with the deafening sound of impacts.

Seeming to find General Executioner quite bothersome, the Matricide Beetle let out a cry, and the Electromagnetic Pulse appeared once again, sweeping over General Executioner's body. However, its actions remained unaffected, and countless wave energy blades continued to strike the Matricide Beetle.

"General Executioner's attacks seem ineffective. Should we have Spectral Moth intervene?" Ju Ling turned to Su Chen, as only the Commander had the authority to make such decisions.

"If General Executioner only possesses this much power, it doesn't deserve to be considered a force second only to a Superweapon," Su Chen said with a smile and issued a direct command, "General Executioner, unleash your ultimate move."

Instantly, General Executioner halted its assault, and the three bodies plunged their massive wave energy blades into the ground, unleashing an incredibly powerful Omega energy.

A burst of Omega energy, equivalent in destructive force to a Superweapon, covered the entire area, causing the ground to tremble and split open.

After a while, the tremors subsided, and they observed the situation in the field.

General Executioner had sustained numerous wounds, and one of its bodies had lost its combat capability, clearly injured by the Matricide Beetle's rebounding power.

It was worth noting that General Executioner had formidable defenses, yet it had still been severely damaged. So, how was the Matricide Beetle faring?

As they took a closer look at the Matricide Beetle, their faces changed. The Matricide Beetle appeared largely unharmed, with only shallow wounds on its carapace.

General Executioner had unleashed its ultimate move, but it had only caused minor injuries to the Matricide Beetle. This Zerg's defense was truly extraordinary.

"It's a pity. If General Executioner could be mass-produced, we could overwhelm the Matricide Beetle with sheer numbers," Yun Ru lamented.

"Not a pity at all. At least General Executioner has shown us that the Matricide Beetle's defense has a limit. Its upper limit is probably at the Small Galaxy Fifth Tier, which means that as long as we achieve the attack power of Small Galaxy Fifth Tier, we can inflict damage on it."

Su Chen was very satisfied with General Executioner's first performance, especially considering it was facing such a unique Zerg as the Matricide Beetle.

"Next up, it's Spectral Moth's turn."

Spectral Moth excitedly let out a cry and descended from the sky, its massive body covering the entire Matricide Beetle. This was the plan it had discussed with the Parasitic Species – to immobilize the Matricide Beetle using this method and then use Spectral Moth's innate ability as a glutton to devour it!

Yes, Spectral Moth considered the Matricide Beetle as a completely new type of food.

It enjoyed consuming the consciousness of intelligent life. If the other party believed in it, Spectral Moth could devour them without resistance. However, even if the intelligent life didn't believe in it, Spectral Moth could forcibly consume their consciousness, albeit taking some time.

Time was the least valuable thing to a Cosmic Behemoth.

Ordinary Zerg lacked consciousness, but the Matricide Beetle was a unique Zerg created by the Zerg Hive, possessing consciousness. However, this consciousness was like that of a newborn baby, still very tender.

The body of the Spectral Moth appeared as fragile as jelly, easily pierced, but Matricide Beetle's attacks surprisingly had no effect on the Spectral Moth's body.

Matricide Beetle had allocated all its points to defense, resulting in very low attack power. It could only helplessly remain ensnared within the Spectral Moth's body.

Once Matricide Beetle was completely enveloped by the Spectral Moth's body, the Spectral Moth initiated an attack!

A faint red beam emitted from the Spectral Moth's body, connecting to Matricide Beetle's head, instantly halting Matricide Beetle's struggles.

"What is Spectral Moth doing?" Lily curiously inquired.

"Is Spectral Moth planning to suffocate it? Matricide Beetle shouldn't need oxygen, right?" Yun Ru shared the curiosity.

Only Su Chen knew Spectral Moth's plan, as Spectral Moth had informed him beforehand.

"Spectral Moth is using its strengths. Its body can restrain Matricide Beetle, and its abilities counter Matricide Beetle. Haven't you forgotten what Spectral Moth likes to consume?"

The Super Soldiers present weren't fools. With Su Chen's reminder, they immediately realized Spectral Moth's plan.

Spectral Moth's favorite delicacy is consciousness, isn't it?

As long as Matricide Beetle's consciousness is devoured, what use is its powerful body?

"But Matricide Beetle's Psychic defense is formidable. Can Spectral Moth penetrate it?"

Libra, the only one who had experimented with Psychic power, furrowed her brow as she voiced her doubts.

"Ordinary individuals might not be able to, but this is Spectral Moth's innate talent. Let's wait and see."

The battle between Spectral Moth and Matricide Beetle was a clash of consciousness, entirely imperceptible on the surface. They maintained this posture for a whole month!

During this month, Su Chen completely eradicated all the Zerg on Earth and allowed the survivors to return to their respective city ruins, where they established new cities in the midst of this apocalypse.

In just a short month, various cities on the planet began to flourish once more, and light once again graced the planet's nights.

Su Chen paced back and forth in his command room, an excited expression appearing on his face.

"Commander, you've made five rounds already," Ju Ling's voice sounded slightly helpless.

"If Yun Ru hadn't deliberately informed me about the breakthrough in spatial technology, I wouldn't be like this!" Su Chen said irritably.

Just an hour ago, Yun Ru suddenly contacted Su Chen, saying that there had been a groundbreaking advancement in spatial technology. By applying this technology to the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, they could expand its range to five light-years!

In other words, they could finally return to Earth!

Since arriving on Yan Yun Star, Su Chen had no idea how Earth had developed. His abilities couldn't connect to Earth.

They say there's no place like home, and for the first time, Su Chen felt this sentiment. The thought of returning to Earth made him unable to sit still.

"Why did Yun Ru have to inform me in advance? Couldn't she have waited until the technology was fully researched?" Su Chen exclaimed.

Tanya and Ju Ling exchanged a glance, smiled faintly, but remained silent.

At that moment, Yun Ru's voice came through, "Commander, the research on spatial technology is complete." (To be continued...)
