Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

When Lion Thunder saw the Empress Dowager Insect, his face suddenly turned ashen.

There were even people trying to stop them...

The Queen Mother is the core and foundation of the Zerg nest. She usually hides deep underground, commanding billions of Zerg swarms, and almost never goes to the front lines of the battlefield.

Their appearance signifies only one thing—the Zerg have nowhere left to retreat, and have reached the final moment to stake their entire race's fate on a desperate gamble.

He had initially held onto a sliver of hope, believing that the terrifying blood sacrifice array in the sky was merely a feint by the Zerg to cover the retreat of the Golden Queen Mother, a bluff intended to force the Allied Forces to retreat.

But the Empress Dowager Mother Worm burning with her primordial essence completely shattered his illusions.

The Zerg are so ruthless that they are willing to self-destruct as a whole race, dragging the entire Allied Forces into the abyss of destruction!

"Damn it...you want us to be buried here?!"

King Gorm roared, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, and muscles that bulged like old tree roots all over his body, making his heavy armor creak and groan.

The next instant, a layer of solid, blazing, and wildly violent crimson flames erupted from every inch of his skin, shooting several feet high! The air was distorted by the scorching heat, and the rocks beneath his feet even showed faint signs of melting.

He also activated the Blood Sacrifice Soul!

"Since that's the case, then let's go!!" Gorm's voice boomed like thunder as he raised his twin axes high, runes on the blades lighting up one after another, radiating a terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and cleaving the earth: "My people! Follow me and fight your way through!!"

......

Ye Ge knelt on one knee, her eyes closed, one hand pressed against the ground.

The spiritual power, like an invisible tide, silently seeped into the earth, spreading downwards and instantly revealing the intricate network of insect nests thousands of meters underground.

The nest was almost completely hollowed out.

In the field of vision formed by mental energy, the nest cavity, which should have been filled with sleeping insect eggs, wriggling larvae, and worker insect passages, was now just a desolate and chilling emptiness.

Instead, countless, densely packed, crimson dots of light, like a boiling sea of ​​blood, covered the ground. Each dot represented a Zerg unit frantically burning its life essence. They moved in swarms, their trajectories resolute, transforming themselves into part of the crimson array in the sky according to some ancient ritual.

As his vision expanded, countless specks of light representing other allied races clashed and intertwined fiercely with these crimson dots. Scenes from various battlefields across the Crimson Plains were absorbed into his mental vision... the wild roars of the orcish charges, the desperate axe strikes of the dwarves, the swift arrows of the winged race, the explosive flames of the fire race...

There were also armies of various races, including the Dragon Clan, the Demon Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the Dinosaur Clan. They were all desperately trying to retreat as quickly as possible after discovering the Zerg's Blood Sacrifice Nest Overwhelming Formation.

However, Sima Qing had clearly made ample preparations beforehand.

'Sima Qing had already set up numerous checkpoints throughout the entire Crimson Plain, spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.'

'Besides the Zerg army, there is also a blockade line formed by countless armies of demonized humans, genetically modified beastmen, Celestials, Demons, and Netherworlds...'

'Each checkpoint was practically an impenetrable wall built with lives on the line.'

Ye Ge slowly opened her eyes, her gaze calm.

After Tianhao, Luosha, and Heiyan were eliminated, Sima Qing gained almost complete control over the military power of these races. Now, almost all of their armies have become cannon fodder pawns in his plan to achieve his goals.

Hundreds of thousands of lives, and hundreds of billions of insect lives... Sima Qing is truly ruthless...

What a ruthless guy...

With these races' armies forming a blockade line at the cost of their lives, it would be virtually impossible to lead a large army to withdraw in time.

"Xiao Ye, how is it?" Xia Xiyao asked, looking at him from the side.

Su Yanling looked up at the increasingly lower, blood-red curtain that seemed to be crushing the sky. Her beautiful face was drained of color. She said urgently, "The Zerg's blood sacrifice array is still in the preparation stage. Let's take advantage of this time and lead the armies of all races to retreat! We should get as many away as we can!"

Ye Ge slowly shook his head and said, "The entire Crimson Plains is now completely enveloped by the Zerg's Blood Sacrifice Nest Extinction Array. Moreover, Sima Qing is very determined. He set up this trap to annihilate our entire Allied Races Army here. Currently, the Crimson Plains is surrounded not only by more than a dozen layers of Zerg blockade, but also by several layers of checkpoints formed by the armies of the Celestial Race, the Demon Race, and the Netherworld Race, all to ensure that we can be swallowed whole here."

"Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to evacuate unless they are experts at the Soul Emperor level or above. If they take advantage of the fact that the formation has not yet been fully activated and burn their essence blood to unleash their full speed, they may still find a chance to break through these blockades and evacuate this blood-red plain before the formation is activated."

"..."

Upon hearing this, countless soldiers of the Allied Races Army immediately showed expressions of despair.

"Then...then are we all doomed??"

"No way......"

Meanwhile, several generals in the alien army who had reached the Soul Emperor realm clearly showed struggle, wavering, and a hint of hidden urgency on their faces.

"Demon Lord Yan Ji!" At this moment, a demon general at the first level of the Soul Emperor realm suddenly stepped forward, his voice somewhat anxious, "The situation is clear, our army... our army is likely doomed! Please, Demon Lord, make a quick decision! Let those of us who still have the strength to escape immediately disperse and break through, so as to preserve some of our clan's strength!"

Yan Ji remained silent, not saying a word for a moment.

Seeing her silence, the general looked anxious. He glanced up at the sky, which seemed ready to rain down blood at any moment, and the last trace of hesitation on his face was crushed by his will to survive.

He gritted his teeth, his inner magic erupted, and the demon wings on his back unfurled with a "whoosh," as if he were about to soar into the sky and escape alone.

However, before he could fly a hundred meters away, a bewitching yet deadly crimson demonic fire attacked from behind, striking him precisely in the back of the heart!

"Uhhh-!!!"

A piercing, distorted scream tore through the air. The warrior, like a bird with broken wings, was wreathed in demonic flames that burned his soul, and tumbled and fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

The crimson flames mercilessly devoured his flesh and demonic soul, turning him into a charred, dried corpse in just a few breaths, until even the corpse crumbled into ashes.

A stream of pure magic flowed out from the ashes, which was caught in mid-air and absorbed into Yan Ji's palm.

Yan Ji slowly lowered her arm, the temperature on her cold and beautiful face dropping to freezing point, her voice chilling to the bone:

"Even if we must retreat, only I can give the order. To desert in the face of battle and disrupt the morale of my army—you are no longer worthy to be a general of my demon race."
