The blinding Gray Light erupted, enveloping a radius of a hundred meters like the densest smoke.
A deep pit, over ten meters deep, appeared as if the area had been bombarded by missiles. A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, raising a cloud of dust that covered hundreds of meters.
Bean's forward momentum toward Isaac came to an abrupt halt, protected in the embrace of the Golden Monkey Totem Beast. Yet, he was still swept away by the residual force of the explosion, the massive body of the Golden Monkey falling like a leaf several dozen meters away.
Several Ultimate Form Moon Children stood in front of Xarl, shielding him from all the waves. Xiar sighed, "Leslie... you truly made this choice!"
Setting aside his identity as the Child of Destiny, the other party was ultimately an unparalleled overlord. This self-detonation was clearly a decision made long ago upon accepting parasitism.
How could a powerful individual, absolutely confident in themselves, willingly become someone else's Servant?
This self-detonation perfectly illustrated the saying—better dead than unfree!
The first half of his life was an absolute tragedy, shrouded in layers of conspiracy from the very beginning. Even his encounter with Gafiel was part of a scheme.
Gafiel took him in because he possessed relevant abilities, teaching him knowledge and sparing no expense in precious resources to help him grow stronger quickly.
However, there was only one purpose behind this: to make him the most outstanding Experimental Subject!
It wasn't that Gafiel was cold-hearted; rather, he had descended into pathological madness, completely dedicating his life to achieving the grand goal of Human Super Evolution.
In his eyes, as the child he raised, Leslie naturally had to give everything for it, including his own life!
Leslie was adopted with clear intentions and met the beautiful and charming girl Bella, whom he regarded as the most important person in his life.
Unfortunately, while love could inspire one to strive harder, it could also become one's greatest weakness.
After being continuously injured by absolute Evolved Warriors and discovering that Bella had long since passed away—only to find himself interacting with a Clone Body created by the academy—Leslie completely collapsed...
Crack!
Xiar faintly sensed that a certain mental link had been severed, and his expression changed instantly. The connection to Mother Bug in the underground base had been cut off!
This Mother Bug was grafted together using some special Inheritance Factors, including fragments of Monthly Child, Mantis, and other Ultimate Forms, all in pursuit of the strongest attack power.
However, these Inheritance Factors combined to form a creature that was completely uncontrollable, one that might not even possess any biological instincts at all.
They were no longer ordinary Totem Beasts; they were even more frenzied than those Radiation Creatures, and he had treated them as his ultimate trump card.
If he could leave intact, he naturally wouldn't resort to using them. Instead, he would trigger their self-destruction mechanism, burying them hundreds of meters underground.
But now, something had infiltrated and completely released them, causing events to spiral far beyond his control.
"That guy..." Xiar easily guessed the identity of Killer, the mysterious creature that had escaped from the ninth level of the laboratory earlier.
After shaking off Firefly's interference, Bean possessed formidable strength but was unable to harm the opponent and had easily escaped.
Then for some unknown reason, it found Xiar's underground laboratory and used its special abilities to hatch countless eggs inside, aiming to create an even more terrifying disaster...
Crack crack crack!
At this moment in the underground base, countless cracking sounds fell like rain as egg after egg shattered.
A slender figure with limbs resembling bamboo poles stood at the center, releasing circles of gray mist that enveloped and hatched all the eggs.
Moments later, bizarre and ferocious insects broke free from their shells, pouring out like a tide from the passageway and rushing toward the areas with the highest human population to unleash brutal slaughter!
Even more astonishing was that when this swarm of insects burst forth, they were only about a foot long. Yet as they moved along their path, they devoured everything in sight—plants and animals alike were swept away without exception.
Under the terrifying devouring force that resembled a ground excavation, their bodies rapidly swelled, exceeding one meter in height in an instant, and continued to expand, growing sharper and more fearsome claws.
Boom!
A giant tree, hundreds of meters tall, abruptly changed direction and lunged toward the countless insects, aiming to eliminate them first.
However, there were simply too many of these insects. One by one, they scattered and quickly devoured patches of the forest.
This scene was reminiscent of an army of ants in the desert, leaving nothing untouched along their path; even the trunk was gnawed clean by them.
Dozens of students caught off guard fell into the fray, hearing the chilling sounds of gnawing. Their totems were shattered into pieces as soon as they were summoned.
The Guardian Spirit Light shattered in an instant; their bodies vanished without a trace, leaving only a few bone fragments behind!
Above the academy, the Anos Eagle soared at an altitude of a thousand meters, currently in a shared vision state, clearly visible to Xiar below.
"Indeed, these creatures are exactly as I predicted—a horde of hellish fiends that should not exist in this world!" Xiar was taken aback, never expecting such a terrifying transformation from what was initially a backup plan.
This was undoubtedly a mutation triggered by that mysterious entity. Who exactly was that being?
At that moment, the Anos Eagle suddenly sensed a deadly crisis and flapped its wings to escape.
But it was too late; a golden figure blotted out the sun above it. A terrifyingly powerful screech erupted at a thousand meters high, reducing the Anos Eagle to mere pulp, raining down like drops of rain!
The dean had returned!
Xiar's face paled slightly as he wasted no time in retreating.
Even with seven heads in its Ultimate Form, a Disaster Beast stood no chance against such an opponent; it was a complete massacre.
If he didn't leave now, it would definitely be over once the other party reacted!
However, he did not escape on the Moon Child. Instead, he commanded the Burrowing Beast to dig rapidly below, creating a direct tunnel to the seabed.
With the terrifying power of the Golden Winged Bird, running on the surface was nothing but a death wish.
Most importantly, the Fourth-Level Spirit Master possessed extraordinary mental sensing abilities and could easily lock onto his location.
Xiar could only escape underground, relying on the thick layers of rock to weaken the pursuit and provide a slim chance of survival.
To throw off any pursuers, the Bloodthirsty Werewolf unhesitatingly cradled Belacron Body in his arms and rushed northward, while the Mantis Behemoth fled with Gafiel toward the Southwest.
The Hunting Lion charged toward the bottom of the Central Laboratory, completely separating from the three Ultimate Forms in search of a glimmer of hope.
"You can't escape!" Bean strode over coldly.
His Golden Monkey Totem had been severely damaged in Leslie's earlier self-detonation, and now he could only rely on his own strength to block Xiar's escape.
Xiar was slightly taken aback. "Did you not sense the countless insects that suddenly emerged in the academy?"
"If we don't deal with these things, they will devour everything!"
