When everyone looked up in response to the surrounding sounds, expressions of profound shock immediately spread across their faces. They saw that at some point, the sky around them had become filled with countless black insects.
These insects were of various kinds, each one extremely peculiar, some with irregular bodies. They seemed to have heard some kind of call and came flying in from all directions in a frenzied manner. In an instant, the entire desolate world became shrouded in darkness, and the sky lost all its brightness, plunging into complete darkness.
"Hahaha! Come, my minions!" Edmund saw the bizarre insects swarming all around him, and he went into a frenzied state. These insects, like a hurricane, rushed towards him madly.
However, when these insects came into contact with Edmund's body, they suddenly disappeared as if absorbed into his skin. Edmund's expression showed signs of enjoyment.
These insects, after entering his body, kept wriggling beneath his skin, causing the areas they passed through to tremble eerily. In this way, the overwhelming insects disappeared within a blink of an eye, as if Edmund had absorbed them all into his body. The darkness faded, and the wasteland world returned to its dimly lit state.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked at Edmund. At this moment, he still stood there quietly, his skin still blood-red. A muffled sound reached the ears of everyone as a pair of black wings with intricate patterns suddenly emerged from Edmund's back.
Not only that, the muffled sound continued, and rows of black, barbed insect limbs sprouted from Edmund's ribcage. These insect limbs broke through his skin like mushrooms after the rain, and each one dripped with a greenish liquid, seeming to be some kind of deadly poison.
In just a minute, Edmund had grown ten insect limbs under his ribcage. Each one looked nauseating, making the guy in front of them appear like an enormous mutated insect.
The aura emanating from Edmund was filled with a strong malevolence. This malevolent aura, centered on Edmund, rapidly spread to the surroundings. Trees within a radius of thousands of miles instantly turned yellow, their roots rotting into mud. The terrifying power made the wasteland world brim with horror.
David, seeing this, didn't hesitate. He reached into the warehouse and grabbed an advanced pronucleus. Without waiting to consume it, he swallowed it directly. He knew that the current Edmund had merged with the power of all the Zerg, representing the entire Zerg race. As the dominant force in the desolate world, he had to use his full power to deal with Edmund.
At this moment, Clive, seeing Edmund's appearance, also didn't hesitate any longer. He knew that if he kept waiting like this, he might not even have a chance to act. He let out a loud roar and instantly lifted the worn bamboo chair in his hand. The bamboo chair began to disintegrate and transform in that instant. In the end, it took the shape of a two-meter-tall general dressed in bamboo armor.
"To sacrifice with blood" Clive took a step back and didn't hesitate to bite his own finger. Using the blood droplets from his fingertip, Clive drew a symbol on the general's back. When the last stroke fell, the general suddenly came to life. He slowly moved his limbs, and the bamboo spear in his hand was raised.
But Clive's face appeared unusually pale, as if he had suffered a great loss of vitality. Seeing Clive in this state, Emlyn was immediately astonished and said, "This... this is Clive's Mastery of Command! Why did he reveal his hidden ability now?" After speaking, Emlyn's expression turned worried.
"Mastery of Command? What is that?" Fatso asked, puzzled, while shaking the thick blood off his large bone club.
Emlyn didn't have time to explain much and simply said, "It's an ability that consumes one's own lifespan. Every time he summons a General Armor, he loses one year of his life. Judging by how weak this old guy looks, it seems he sacrificed even more of his lifespan to enhance the General Armor's power."
These words left Fatso stunned in his tracks. Not just Fatso, but everyone else also heard Emlyn's words and looked at Clive with shock.
David also heard Emlyn's explanation and suddenly felt a wave of emotions. He had noticed Clive's attachment to his old bamboo chair for a long time, and Clive had always kept it close, even standing by his side during the last crisis. Now he finally understood.
That chair was the medium for Clive to use his powers. What puzzled David, however, was why Clive would consume his own lifespan to help him? He looked at Clive's face, which lacked color and appeared aged, like a withered old man.
Meanwhile, the General Armor was full of vitality, swinging his spear with ease and making the air around him hum loudly. David realized that the General Armor had absorbed Clive's lifespan, making him a formidable force. While he continued to contemplate this, Clive suddenly lifted his head and looked at David, grinning widely as he shouted, "Kid! Watch closely! This is my move. I'm going to Open peace to humanity!"
Clive shouted loudly, and there was a touch of solemnity in his voice, as if he was invoking a heroic spirit. Without waiting for David to respond, Clive's expression suddenly turned serious as he stared firmly at Edmund. "General, I'm sacrificing three years of my life. Please, let this guy experience the might of humanity."
As soon as Clive finished speaking, his expression became even more exhausted. The General Armor heard Clive's words and silently nodded. Then, he turned his gaze towards Edmund. He brandished his long spear, rushing towards Edmund like a gust of wind. The spear's tip shone with a cold light, and it moved as swiftly as a flying dragon.
Seeing this sudden arrival, Edmund didn't show any fear. Instead, his bizarre expression became even more pronounced. The insect limbs under his ribcage continued to rub against each other, creating a sense of oppression with their sharp barbs.
At that moment, the General Armor's long spear had already reached him. Edmund slightly tilted his head and easily dodged the attack. Before the General Armor could react, he raised his fist and struck forcefully against the General Armor's chest.
BOOM!The General Armor was sent flying several kilometers away by Edmund's punch. The powerful shockwave created by the punch caused everyone's ears to ring loudly. The General Armor struggled to get up from the ground, panting heavily.
