I requested the Commander to cancel the bounty mission a long time ago."
"These damned Bounty Hunters are all arrogant fools."
A military officer beside Brighton also had a ashen face.
He had always looked down on Bounty Hunters, though he admitted that those who could become Level 2 Bounty Hunters possessed special abilities. They could accomplish things their own forces couldn't, thanks to their superpowers.
However, it was precisely because of these superpowers that most of them were overly confident in their strength, leading to arrogance, a lack of discipline, and a disregard for consequences in their actions.
Some even foolishly believed they could solve everything, directly stepping into the volcano and becoming food for the Insectoids.
Putting those aside, what mattered most to this officer was that these Bounty Hunters from other Planets simply did not care about the situation on Kilff Star.
"If the volcano explodes, I'll take his life, no matter the cost!"
Brighton's mood was also incredibly furious upon hearing the officer beside him.
However, he knew that it would be very difficult for them to directly kill Kassadin.
The opponent might directly commit a crime and escape, not even bothering to meet them.
So he already had an intention: if the opponent truly messed things up, he would pay a high price for other Bounty Hunters to hunt down Kassadin.
As they conversed, the trembling of the ground became even more terrifying.
Soldiers in other military camps didn't know what was happening, but they all ran to their battleships for initial shelter.
They watched the ground shake, with terrifying fissures appearing across the surface. Some had bloodshot eyes filled with anger, some felt despair, and others showed expressions of relief.
Years of facing these damned insects had already stretched the spirits of many soldiers present to their breaking point, ready to snap at any moment.
Now, without knowing what had happened, a violent earthquake occurred, and under its impact, the volcano might directly erupt.
One by one, they watched the location of the epicenter broadcasted on the projector.
With a "Boom!", the ground directly collapsed, revealing a terrifying large hole.
A thousand-meter-long crimson Great Worm let out a terrifying roar, emerging from the large hole, soaring into the air, and hovering in mid-air.
The Great Worm was entirely crimson, covered in scarlet scales. Its enormous head was covered in countless eyes, and its body was surrounded by numerous disgusting mouths.
At this moment, this crimson Great Worm was wielding tentacles like giant whips, striking down with one blow, causing Fire to erupt, the ground to shake, and the surrounding thousands of meters to instantly turn into a Fire inferno.
This crimson Great Worm seemed like some unimaginable, bizarre entity come to life; those with weak wills would be plagued by nightmares just by looking at it.
The appearance of this crimson Great Worm made everyone on the various warships show expressions of disbelief.
"Damn it, has this guy evolved to such an extent?"
Brighton cursed when he saw this Fire Great Worm, as if born from Fire, but the hand holding his cigarette trembled slightly.
This Great Worm was like a world-ending disaster from the heavens; when it first appeared, it was only a few meters in size.
Initially, they didn't take it seriously, simply sending a small team to deal with it.
Until that entire team perished, and this Great Worm, in just a few days, grew to tens of meters in size, directly burrowing into the volcanic zone.
This made them hesitant to act, unable to directly use energy weapons to bombard the volcanic zone.
Because once a violent volcanic eruption was triggered, causing the various volcanoes on the Planet to erupt, this Planet, which was originally suitable for habitation and survival, would become uninhabitable.
Then they would not be eradicating the Insectoid Queen, but rather bringing about their own destruction.
This World-Destroying Great Worm had been present for over ten years, and they had fought for it for over ten years.
And the World-Destroying Great Worm had also occupied more volcanoes.
Under pressure, the various nations of Kilff Star formed a comprehensive alliance, technology developed rapidly, and they paid Bounty Hunters to come for support.
In fact, this World-Destroying Great Worm had emerged from underground three times, attempting to formally expand its territory, and engaged in several large-scale direct confrontations with their alliance.
They paid a heavy price in casualties to temporarily resist the World-Destroying Great Worm's expansion.
However, this World-Destroying Great Worm was still growing, and each time it appeared, its size was larger than the last.
When it appeared two years ago, its body was about eight hundred meters, and its scales became increasingly hard, making it more difficult to penetrate.
According to the Strategic Bureau's calculations, if they couldn't kill the Insectoid Queen in another five years, they would be forced to relocate the entire population of the Planet to other Planets.
They would completely destroy the environment of this Planet, returning it to a primitive age.
At the time, he thought the Strategic Bureau was making a big deal out of nothing, but now it seemed those guys in the Strategic Bureau really weren't useless.
Less than five years had passed, in just two short years, this World-Destroying Great Worm had already grown to over eleven hundred meters, like a sprawling mountain, instilling fear in anyone who saw it.
"This situation probably can't be delayed."
Brighton looked at this terrifying Great Worm that could easily cause nightmares at night, took a puff of his cigarette, and said with trembling lips.
Although Kassadin went to his Death, it was fortunate that he forced this World-Destroying Great Worm out, letting them know its current situation.
Otherwise, if this World-Destroying Great Worm continued to grow underground for a few more years, they might not even have a chance to prepare for evacuation.
"Lieutenant General Brighton, look quickly."
At this moment, a soldier on the warship pointed, witnessing an unbelievable sight.
Brighton saw, in that inferno of Fire, a figure clad in golden armor, wielding a purple blade, emerging from the flames.
The scorching Fire burned against the purple energy on his body, unable to penetrate it in the slightest.
"This guy isn't dead?"
Brighton's eyes narrowed when he saw the figure, and he said in disbelief.
At this moment, Kassadin disappeared under the gaze of countless people.
Suddenly, like a clap of thunder, with a "Boom!", the World-Destroying Great Worm's body showed an inward collapse.
The World-Destroying Great Worm crashed to the ground like a falling meteor, the terrifying impact causing the ground within ten thousand meters to collapse, raising a sky-filling cloud of dust.
The terrifying tremor spread, and everything in the vicinity was utterly destroyed.
This scene was like an enraged deity, leaving Brighton, numerous military officers, and other Bounty Hunters dumbfounded.
A furious roar, audible to anyone, echoed between heaven and earth. Terrifying molten lava directly spewed from the Great Worm's massive mouth, passing like a laser, striking Kassadin's figure directly.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The lava directly dyed the heavens and earth red, and a sky full of black mist floated up, enveloping the world, truly a scene of world destruction.
The World-Destroying Great Worm was already comparable to a walking natural disaster monster; wherever it moved, there would be no intact place left.
"Help me contact the Supreme Command. I want to request the use of the interstellar railgun."
Brighton said with a pale face upon seeing this scene.
The World-Destroying Great Worm had grown incredibly terrifying; even the impact just now failed to kill it.
Instead, it made the World-Destroying Great Worm even more furious. He knew that if they didn't try to kill the World-Destroying Great Worm now, Kilff Star would also be destroyed.
So, even if it meant igniting the volcano and becoming a sinner, he had to use the previously forbidden weapon.
If the interstellar railgun also couldn't kill this World-Destroying Great Worm, they would have no other options left.
