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

"of course."

Lu Yize remembered how the giant deer with human speech died silently in front of them, and how Gloria's superpowers far surpassed those of them, whom she considered mere ants.

She casually crushed the giant deer that could have posed a threat to her. How could the little deer, who had witnessed her mother's death, not hate her?

Gloria witnessed Nix's death and felt an absurd fear. How could it be that the patriarch of the Nix family, along with two ninth-level ability users, were so easily killed?

The remaining five ninth-tier ability users of the Nix family were in complete chaos. Their family leader was dead, and the other two ninth-tier ability users were also dead?!

What should they do next? Continue following Gloria? Nix's actions this time were not approved by all the ninth-tier ability users to begin with.

Moreover, the Knicks have now used their deaths to prove that this choice was indeed wrong, not to mention that Gloria herself is in dire straits.

As the head of another aristocratic family, Ron looked at the other five ninth-tier ability users and asked, "Are you still going to gamble your entire family with Gloria?"

Now that things have come to this point, even if they wanted to back down, they would be severely weakened. It would be a lie to say they don't resent Gloria for stirring things up.

The insectoids around Gloria felt the same way. They did want the insectoid race to prosper, but now, the insectoid race was divided, ostracized by other star systems in the Federation, and had become the target of everyone's criticism.

Compared to the distraught Gloria, Hilde showed little emotional fluctuation throughout, and had even arranged for the other insects in the family to leave, including his useless younger brother.

Gloria certainly wouldn't allow those people to betray her like that. Now that Knicks was dead, the Knicks family was also hesitant. Since they couldn't be used by him, it would be better to just destroy them.

Just as the five ninth-tier ability users were hesitating about whether to withdraw with their families, Gloria staggered to her feet, and then several black threads appeared from her hand.

The black lines connected to the hearts of the five ninth-level ability users. The five ninth-level ability users were horrified the moment they noticed the lines.

Not only them, but even Ron's expression suddenly turned grim. Vincent, who was standing next to his father, frowned and asked, "What is that?"

Before Ron could even reply, the five people who had been determined to kill Gloria together had their powers drained in an instant, and their bodies aged rapidly.

A large amount of supernatural power surged into Gloria's body, instantly restoring the luster to her shattered scales and rapidly healing her broken wounds.

The five ninth-level ability users whose hearts she had connected with black threads lost their lives in a very short time. Among them, the one with the highest ability level had an uncontrollable hatred in his eyes before he died.

He hated not only Gloria, but also the Knicks who had sold their lives to her!

“Contract Line: After signing the contract, you are willing to become the other party’s nourishment when necessary, and become the other party’s energy supplier free of charge.” Ron looked at the five ninth-level energy users who were already on the verge of death with pity in his eyes.

The only ones who could do all this were the Knicks, whom they voluntarily followed. The family's spiritual imprint led them to unconditionally obey the orders of the family patriarch.

But now, it has become their death warrant.

Those who can reach the ninth level are no ordinary people. With a glint in their eyes, they instantly concentrated all their supernatural abilities on one person.

Even if they die, they cannot become nourishment for others!

Gloria, who was absorbing supernatural power, frowned. The two forces vying for power were evenly matched. The five ninth-level supernatural beings were bleeding from all seven orifices. They had to eliminate this threat, otherwise their descendants would never have a chance to rise in the future!

They used their last bit of superpower to sever the contract lines Gloria had placed on others, whether they were insectoids or descendants of their family. They could not allow Gloria to advance in this way!

The powerful shockwave from the explosion of the supernatural core severed the contract line, but this force was an inward-contracting force.

After Gloria suffered the impact damage, she gained less than half of the expected superpower, and her attempt to reach the peak of the ninth rank failed again.

The other Zerg, and even the members of the noble families, could feel a distinct sense of relief, as if shackles had been severed. Hilde, who had been prepared to die, after a moment of silence, pointed the ice blade formed by her power directly at Gloria.

If it weren't for the contract that controls their entire Zerg race, how could they possibly obey her foolish orders!

The reason why Noah and Cecil were able to break free from this control was that they happened to obtain a special crystal core, which allowed them to escape her control, but other Zerg could not.

Gloria looked at Hilde, who had betrayed her, and turned to speak with murderous intent, "Hilde, even you are going to betray me?"

Hilde used her powers to block the opponent's mental attack and said coldly, "You were the one who betrayed the entire Zerg first."

Gloria saw Noah appear behind Hilde and, seeing their familiar demeanor, narrowed her eyes slightly. "So that's how it is. No wonder Noah and Cecil could avoid ambushes at every turn and relentlessly encroach on half of the Zerg territory."

"So it was you, Admiral Hilde, the youngest and most talented leader of the Zerg. No wonder you've led them to this point."

Gloria has gradually come to understand many things. "The repeated failures of Blue Star are nothing more than your attempt to cultivate a force to oppose me, using them to conceal your own power."

"Hahaha, Riva actually thought she died a worthy death. Turns out it was all just a ploy to trick her into advancing your plan. Hilde, wasn't it you who reached an agreement with Lu Yize long ago?"

Gloria looked at Hilde and Lu Yize standing not far away with murderous intent, "You sowed discord between the foolish but loyal Riva, and joined forces with Aquinas, and even just caused me to be seriously injured, speeding up the attack on the five ninth-level ability users."

"Then let Ron shake their minds, and let them work together to sever all the contract lines before they die. Step by step, you will eventually achieve your goal."

"Hilde, this was something you and Lu Yize planned a long time ago, wasn't it?"

From the moment Lu Yize killed Nix, they had been cooperating step by step. Even the seemingly inescapable trap she set for them today was nothing more than their own scheme.

With bloodshot eyes, Gloria looked at the slain Nix and the gradually disintegrating Zerg, saying, "I really underestimated you."
