What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Several potential heirs from the Knicks family were also blown to pieces. Upon seeing this, Knicks was instantly enraged, and a tremendous pressure swept towards Lu Yize.

Seeing the enraged Knicks, Lu Yize revealed a sinister smile, "I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine."

If he hadn't used his superpower to block it, Knicks' attack would have been aimed at Jiang Yue and the others. Knicks wanted to kill the people around him, so what was wrong with him killing the successor that Knicks valued first?

The mist formed by fragmented spatial molecules drifted in the air, and the insectoids that were originally in the air exploded one after another, their blood spreading into a blood-red mist that continuously disappeared into the air.

Lu Yize scanned the three men—the Zerg Queen Gloria, the Serpent Leader Aquinas, and the First Family Nix—whom he had clashed with from the very beginning.

"Impossible! How could you possibly be at the peak of the ninth rank!" Gloria stared at Lu Yize in disbelief.

He could withstand the combined attack of the three of them by himself, which only a peak ninth-tier cultivator could do. Even the strongest of the three, Nix, a peak ninth-tier cultivator, was still just one step away from achieving that.

How could this human, from a mere garbage planet, possibly reach the peak of the ninth rank before them?

How could he possibly have superpowers when that planet only developed them a few months ago?

Morse, a sharp-tongued man, laughed and retorted when he heard Gloria's words.

"Why is it impossible? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean it's impossible. Give us a few more years, or rather, a few more months, and who knows, you might see more than just Brother Lu at the ninth level."

Gloria glanced at Morse and the others. Although she wanted to refute him, what he said was not impossible. M34 had undergone some kind of mutation, but the people it had given birth to were indeed improving their abilities at an extremely fast pace.

Gloria stared at the group of humans below with a lifeless and cold gaze. Test subjects should just obediently be test subjects. So what if they have a peak ninth-tier?

This is the Federation's home planet, not a garbage dump. Gloria stared at the people below, whom she considered already dead, took a step back, and said softly, "I didn't want it to be like this..."

Zheng Lin, a primary school student whose brain hasn't yet been subjected to social manipulation, grimaced and picked his ear when he heard Gloria's words, saying, "You did it even though you didn't want to, wanting both, that's weird."

Gloria choked, then angrily swung her whip, which whistled through the air. Space tore open, and numerous stitched-together monsters emerged from the rift.

Riva is Gloria's daughter, and Riva's spatial abilities were inherited from Gloria. The experiments that Riva and the others were arranged to do on Earth were simply Gloria's way of creating her own high-level assassins.

These powerful puppets all possessed abilities at the ninth rank, and there were a great many of them. She originally didn't want to bring them out so early; she planned to wait until she reached the peak of the ninth rank before bringing them out to directly overthrow the status of the original eight great families, including Nix.

What she wants is for the Zerg to dominate! As for the Serpent Clan, who are cooperating with her, she and Aquinas are simply getting what they need, and in the end, they will each rely on their own abilities.

Knicks glanced at Gloria and realized that Gloria's ambitions were indeed not limited to this. However, they were still on the same side, and since things had already come to this point, there was no way to stop.

Knicks crushed the family heirloom, and a surge of immense power rippled outwards. Then, several beams of light appeared behind Knicks, gradually converging inwards before slowly dissipating, revealing the seven people standing behind him.

The reason their family has been able to stand at the top of the Federation's aristocratic families is not only due to years of inheritance, but also because of their solid strength, which has allowed them to gain a firm foothold.

With seven ninth-tier ability users, plus Nix and his two companions, there are already ten ninth-tier ability users, not to mention the thirteen ninth-tier puppets behind the Zerg.

Even if Lu Yize is already at the peak of the ninth rank, it's useless. He's surrounded and attacked by more than twenty ninth-rank ability users. Let's see how he can turn the tide!

The audience trapped in the scene felt a deep sense of desolation. Why did they have to encounter these things? And the Knicks and Gloria, they just didn't care about their lives at all!

On the contrary, the humans from this remote and dilapidated planet were now on the same side as them. They gritted their teeth, activated their supernatural abilities, and decided to risk everything!

From the moment Knicks ordered the encirclement, dozens of ninth-tier ability users acted together. At the same time, Vincent's family also took action. Vincent's father stood in front of Lu Yize and blocked Knicks's fierce offensive.

Knicks squinted at the person blocking his way. "Ron, we're both from prestigious families. Are you going to choose to stand against me?"

Vincent's father's powers intensified. "Nix, the family was founded to better protect ordinary people. What you are doing now goes against the original intentions of our ancestors!"

The Knicks laughed mockingly, “The victor is king, the loser is villain, the strong prey on the weak, and strength is paramount. That’s the family motto of the Knicks. Ron, how can you still be so naive? You actually believe in protecting the people? Protecting them is just to better safeguard our interests, but now that our interests are being harmed, why keep them around?”

“As long as we massacre the Federation and rewrite its regulations, we can get everything we want. Ron, I’m giving you one last chance. If you submit to me now and kill the humans behind you, I can spare your family out of consideration for our shared noble lineage.”

Ron, after all, was the head of a family. "Nicks, you might be able to fool others with what you're saying, but you can't fool me."

They've known each other for so many years, and while he wouldn't say he knows them perfectly well, he's very clear about the Knicks' greedy and cunning nature. If someone stands against him, even for just a moment, it's destined to be a fight to the death.

The Knicks' eyes were fierce, and he no longer held back, each move aimed at vital points, but Ron blocked all of the Knicks' attacks.

After the two equally matched superpowers clashed, Knicks finally looked at Ron properly. "I underestimated you. You've been hiding your true strength for so many years. You've probably already betrayed your family, haven't you?"

Ron stared coldly at the seven ninth-tier superhumans behind Nix. "Nix, didn't your family claim to only have three ninth-tier superhumans? Since you can allow strength, can't I leave myself a way out?"

Upon hearing this, the Knicks' face twisted into a smile. "Fine, fine, I'd like to see what kind of trouble you can stir up!"
