It was just an illusion, but it was able to release a substantial attack and severely injure a swarm of insects.
This was obviously an impossible thing.
However, no matter how impossible it was, it had happened!
The Zerg only noticed the Planet Devourer's existence after a hole was blasted in the nearest Zerg swarm.
Of course, at the same time, Aliya, who was millions of light-years away, also found out what had happened through the Zerg's spiritual network.
But …
Aliya was puzzled. Even after she took over a few Zergs and activated [Sensory Sharing], she did not sense the Planet Devourer's existence at all.
In her memory, she had never encountered such a situation in her battle with Ipnos, whether it was remotely commanding or personally fighting.
Logically speaking, Ipnos should not be the kind of creature that could hide its existence, but the scene in front of her was like a slap to her face. Other than being able to see it with the naked eye, she really could not detect its existence at all.
However, as Wang Hai said, Aliya instantly filled in the blanks. This Ipnos was a special creature with the ability to hide itself, but he had never exposed this ability in previous battles.
As for why Ipnos would appear here?
It was easier for Aliya to fill in the blanks. After all …
Bolt, who was controlled by the Voidreaver, was here, was he not?
More importantly, since Ipnos was so bold as to break into her hinterland alone, was this an opportunity for her as well?
Under normal circumstances, with Ipnos' powerful combat strength and the protection of a bunch of high-level creatures around him, Aliya really could not do anything to him except rely on the Voidreaver to launch a sneak attack like last time. Moreover, the same sneak attack would never work twice.
But now, he was alone, so Aliya felt that she could give it a try. Maybe she could take him down successfully, right?
She, who was completely convinced, immediately began to command through the Zerg's spiritual network.
-----
"Commander, the Zergs around the target are beginning to move in the direction of the bait!"
"What about the King Zergs?"
"Two are moving with the Zergs, and the other two are not moving!"
"They're quite cautious. Tell Wang Hai to think of something!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After discovering that there were still two Rank One Insect Kings left in the Second B Squadron, Jiang Feng pondered for a moment before immediately giving the order.
Wang Hai had always given him the feeling that he was a little guy with a lot of ideas. Jiang Feng also believed that he would have a way.
At the same time, Wang Hai, who was leading his fleet to hide in the background energy of the universe, was watching the reaction of the insectoids on the tactical board with great interest.
"From the looks of it, the insectoids only plan to stall the Planet Devourer and wait for reinforcements to arrive, right?"
Looking at the swarm of insects that were coming from all directions on the tactical board, but they were all low-level insects, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Colonel, the commander ordered us to make some noise. There are still two Zerg Kings around the target!"
"Yes, two Class 1 Insect Kings are not a threat to the commander, but for the sake of secrecy, we still need to lure them away."
Wang Hai immediately understood what Jiang Feng meant. However, it would not be easy to lure the two Insect Kings away.
After all, the current situation was clearly that the other party wanted to stall the Planet Devourer, not fight to the death now.
Therefore, there was no need for Aliya to replenish all her top combatants, unless …
There was a way!
"Inform the technical team immediately, I need to simulate the scene of the Planet Devourer being seriously injured!"
"Yes, that is, after several attacks, the injury will relapse, causing its combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced. Arrange it immediately!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Since the other party wanted to play safe and did not want to fight to the death, then give the other party a reason to go all out …
"Colonel, the technical team said that they need ten minutes to reconstruct the required scene!"
"Okay, let me know immediately when it's done!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Looking at the closest insectoid swarm, which was still two AU away, according to the speed of the insectoid swarm, it would take at least more than an hour to arrive. Wang Hai nodded and said.
"Also, tell them to prepare a scene where the Planet Devourer wants to tear through the void to escape, but fails because of its serious injury!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Because Wang Hai added another request at the last minute, it was not until 15 minutes later that the technical team was ready to report.
However, this was not a problem, and there was still plenty of time.
"Let's start now, and execute Plan 17 first!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
In the void, Ipnos, who had not made any new moves since the last attack, suddenly opened its eyes wide, and two intertwined red and black beams suddenly shot out toward the insectoid swarm in the distance.
If Aliya's original body was here, she would have sensed that there seemed to be something hidden in Ipnos' eyes.
Unfortunately, she was not here, and she could only rely on the senses shared by the ordinary insectoids.
Therefore, in her eyes, Ipnos suddenly launched a new round of attacks, and she did not notice anything strange about it.
The two beams of light with a diameter of more than ten meters, with a destructive aura, instantly swept away all life in the beam, and once again pierced two holes in the insectoid swarm.
"The dark energy cannon attack is complete, the target was successfully hit!"
"Continue to attack! At the same time, get the technical team ready. After our third wave of attack, immediately move! "
"Yes, Colonel!"
In just a minute, Ipnos had released two more attacks in a row, causing considerable damage to the frontmost insectoid swarm.
Based on the power and speed of the attacks, Aliya was a little scared. If this continued, it would take at most an hour for this guy to wipe out all the insectoids surrounding her.
And it would take at least a day for the reinforcements to arrive!
This made Aliya think of retreating. Should she take advantage of the fact that there were still troops to delay Ipnos and quickly move Bolt away?
However, just as Aliya was about to make up her mind, a scene that greatly surprised and pleasantly surprised her occurred.
Ipnos, who was preparing for the fourth wave of attacks, suddenly burst open at the spot on his head where Bolt had injured him. A large amount of purple blood spurted out, and Ipnos' face quickly withered.
This was not the end …
Ipnos, who was injured again, used the last of his strength to tear open a Dimensional Portal to escape. However, just as he began to move, Ipnos could no longer hold on …
Another large mouthful of purple blood spurted out from his mouth!
