Chapter 1699: Chapter 1258: This is the Trump Card
The allied forces entered the fray and immediately the battle tipped overwhelmingly in one direction—as they overemphasized on quantity, the dragon beasts’ strength was simply not enough to contend against the allied forces, and the situation was completely turned around!
"Oh, so this is what you call your trump card?" the voice of the Worm God continued to transmit.
"Yes, this is my trump card, and obviously, your dragon beasts are about to be completely wiped out here," Long Yi said.
"Hehehe, hahahaha! Naive! Did you think I was unaware of your little schemes? My tendrils have already extended into every plane! Everything you’ve secretly planned is within my grasp! Why do you think I let my dragon beasts become so weak!? It was to await the so-called arrival of your allied forces!"
Tremors and roars once again burst out from within the fissures!
"My dear dragon beasts, activate your last command! All of you, transform into bombs for me!" the Worm roared, and all the dragon beasts, whether alive or previously silent, instantly began to squirm and split apart. The primordial substance inside began to reorganize, splitting their enormous bodies into spherical shapes. These spheres harbored unstable substances known as Dragon Power and rapidly charged towards every living thing around them, making no distinction between friend or foe!
"Indiscriminate bombing! You’re all doomed to die here!" the voice of the Worm God trembled in everyone’s souls.
"Indeed, the simultaneous explosion of so much dragon power, causing a chain reaction, would be enough to create a Destruction Storm that not even the Genesis Artifact could stop. Even time and space would warp. If I did absolutely nothing, it would be enough to scare me to death," Long Yi suddenly laughed.
"Oh? Then what do you intend to do?" The Worm God suddenly realized that Long Yi was not forcing a grin but genuinely unconcerned!
"Blood Leeches! Activate!" Long Yi barked with a nasty smile.
Out in the universe, the allied forces were still attacking, but those dragon beast bombs that were supposed to charge at the allied forces had stopped in their tracks. Some bombs that made contact with the allied forces didn’t explode at all!
Across the battlefront stretching millions of kilometers, except for a few scattered flashes of explosions, now only the ripples caused by the allied forces’ attack remained.
Yes, the Blood Leeches, parasitic worms from the Blood Sea of Hell—that was the ’gift’ Long Yi left behind during his last deep dive into the Dragon Star plane... numerous Blood Leech eggs!
The Blood Leeches are a very particular kind of parasite. After infesting the hosts’ bodies, they perfectly mimic their hosts’ body parts, gradually replacing their natural functions. Until the Blood Leeches’ eruption, the hosts would detect nothing unusual, even with perfect simulations of their nervous and digestive systems. The Blood Leeches rely entirely on their eggs for reproduction. The dragon beasts’ breath would spread the eggs and Long Yi had set the Blood Leeches to survive on primordial substance, thus within the dragon beasts filled with primordial substance, the Blood Leeches proliferated at an astonishing rate. It could be said that now, each dragon beast was infested with Blood Leeches!
And now, Long Yi had activated all the Blood Leeches. These Blood Leeches started to devour the primordial substance en masse. Without it, the Blood Leeches immediately began to consume the dragon beasts’ bodies, and the dragon beast bombs lost their ability to generate Dragon Power, naturally preventing them from exploding. The Blood Leeches devoured rapidly and in the blink of an eye, most of the dragon beast bombs were consumed almost entirely!
"No——!"
The Worm God screamed hysterically.
It had been counting on its trump card, anticipating an unchallenged massacre with the dragon beast bombs easily exterminating every living being present. However, at the last moment, the dragon beast bombs were internally consumed by the Blood Leeches!
"I’ve endured until now because I feared more complications would arise. I’ve patiently watched our giants dragons fall one by one, and I’ve been indifferent to the casualties among my Dragon Knights, all for the sake of waiting for this moment, for you to reveal your last card! And you’ve played right into my hands! Hahaha! If you’d maintained the dragon beasts’ forms, the Blood Leeches might not have succeeded so easily, given the complexity of their structures, and would have had to expend significant effort to consume. But you actually transformed all dragon beasts into the simplest structure of bombs! Tell me, even including the Divine Realm, could there possibly be anyone more foolish than you!"
Having been suppressed for so long, Long Yi was now getting his revenge and had a lot to say, lacing his speech with taunts and sarcasm. People often grumble that villains die because they talk too much. Long Yi, though not considering himself a villain, his outburst after prolonged repression was understandable.
"Excellent... what you’ve done is really not bad!" came the voice of the Worm God. It sounded very calm, but Long Yi didn’t believe it could be so composed, especially after having just suffered a huge loss. This feigned calmness typically meant it had another move up its sleeve.
"You’ve truly impressed me, that a lowly life form like you could push me this far. I originally planned to obliterate you along with your universe, but now I’ve changed my mind. I want to keep you, take you to the Divine Realm, and make you my slave. I will torment you endlessly, until you beg me for mercy a trillion times before I shall spare you," the Worm God said.
