When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 570 - 570: The power of the 201st Catastrophe, the fearsome Bai Fu [5.5k]

The deployment of the Flood Disaster by the Secret Tower required the use of a special item called a Cooling Insect Nest.

The Cooling Insect Nests, made by the Engineering Worms of the Dark Domain Insect Clan, varied in size from a diameter of 50 centimeters to 5 meters. Because spatial technology was applied in the production process, even the smallest, 50-centimeter models could store a hundred thousand Ordinary Insects and a hundred Adult Insects. Throwing one of the largest Cooling Insect Nests onto a surface civilization on the level of Ulysses would result in a ruthless slaughter.

Although the Secret Tower's fleet did not carry the largest Cooling Insect Nests this time, it did bring over a hundred medium-sized ones. Those were enough for them to launch a Flood Disaster on the scale of hundreds of millions.

Don't underestimate the number one billion.

There are two particularly terrifying aspects about the Dark Domain Insects: one is their Evolution Ability, and the other is their breeding abilities!

If the invaded civilization could not come up with an effective method to kill the insects, the Dark Domain Insects would not hesitate to devour everything digestible before them to satisfy their most primitive desires. In this process, their numbers would explode dramatically, evolving from one billion to two billion, four billion, tens of billions, or even more, until the entire planet was consumed barren, then they would start to kill one another.

Begin with destruction, and end with destruction, that's what made the Flood Disaster so terrifying.

"Commander Foster, all the Cooling Insect Nests have completed preheating!"

As the image of Golden Valley Star appeared on the large screen of the fleet's smart spaceship cockpit, Foster heard the operator's voice in his ear.

He nodded slightly and said, "Release the detectors and let the Brain Worms scout along with them. We'll advance to Golden Valley Star once we confirm that there are no ambushes nearby."

The Secret Tower had two purposes for this operation.

The primary objective was to capture the Undying People; the secondary was to capture Bai Fu alive and ascertain the whereabouts of the Mother.

Therefore, the Housekeeper had ordered before the operation that Foster was not allowed to carry out a glassing strike on Golden Valley Star unless absolutely necessary.

Since the heavy guns were off-limits, deploying the Dark Domain Insects would be the most efficient and casualty-reducing method of attack available.

Foster pinched his chin lightly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"There are now several thousand Undying People around Bai Fu, but I wonder how many are on Golden Valley Star. If there were about ten or twenty thousand, and I managed to capture all of these Undying People for the Secret Tower..."

The emotion known as excitement suddenly burst in his chest.

He who accomplished such a feat would surely advance further, from Fleet Commander to a member of the combat command room!

"There must be that many, otherwise I will be very disappointed."

Foster's right hand, with its sharp black nails, gently caressed his own neck, the desire to kill already nearly uncontrollable.

Ten minutes later, the detectors and Brain Worms sent back their feedback—

No traces of ambush had been found!

Foster's eyebrows arched lightly.

No ambush? Could it be that Bai Fu had not yet arrived, or did those scum from the Initial Gate fear he'd detect them and set their ambush far from Golden Valley Star?

If it was the former, he could set up a counter-ambush and catch Bai Fu off guard. If it was the latter, then those scum from the Initial Gate were likely to weep bitterly.

The Housekeeper had already considered this possibility and had given him a Dimension Fragment before his departure. The Dimension Fragment had no destructive power, but throwing it outside Golden Valley Star would leave those scum from the Initial Gate in sheer frustration, watching helplessly through the Dimension Fragment as he ran amok on Golden Valley Star.

What an exciting thought; just imagining it made Foster barely able to contain his excitement.

"Since no ambush has been detected, advance to Golden Valley Star at full speed!"

The fleet sped through space, only coming to a halt when they reached the low orbit of Golden Valley Star. Then, a row of spaceship drop bays sequentially opened. The preheated Cooling Insect Nests and drop pods, propelled by acceleration tracks, were shot toward Golden Valley Star's atmosphere like cannonballs.

Foster didn't order the Spaceships to land directly, fearing that doing so would frighten the Players on Golden Valley Star and cause them to hide, turning the capture operation very time-consuming and strenuous.

At this time, while the majority of the fleet was intensely focused on the virtual screens in front of them, no one noticed a wisp of black mist that had silently attached itself underneath one of the drop pods, accompanying it on its journey towards Golden Valley Star.

...

Golden Valley Star's Eastern Hemisphere, an open area of sand and stone.

The night was hazy, inviting slumber.

Standing beside a boulder, the man holding a pair of binoculars rubbed his bleary eyes and sighed, "Are there really evil Aliens coming to attack?"

"Who knows, the big boss said there would be and told us to prepare, so we prepare. It's not like he doesn't pay us," his muscular companion shrugged.

"It's not that I doubt the big boss, I'm just worried that the big boss has been tricked by that woman who looks different from us."

"That's not for us to worry about. All we have to do... wait, what's that?"

The muscular man cut himself off and suddenly stood up from the ground, staring fixedly into the night sky.

Following the muscular man's line of sight with a puzzled look, the man with the binoculars saw countless red streaks suddenly blazing across the once-clear night sky.

The streaks plummeted rapidly, tinting the entire sky a vivid red as though it were ignited, creating a heart-stopping, apocalyptic spectacle.
