Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

The endless rain washed over everything around them, and the scent of earth rose in the rain, making Kagami Shin even more dizzy.

"Hehehe... So, brother owes me." The alien insect squatted down, its last bit of patience about to run out.

"Become one with me." These seductive words rang in Kagami Shin's ears, causing him to look at the alien insect in front of him and hesitantly reach out his hand.

"Hey, have you forgotten your original intention?!" The thunderous shout brought Kagami Shin back to his senses. He suddenly distanced himself from the crouching Kagami Ryo and struggled to get up from the ground.

"Who is it?!" The sudden voice startled Kagami Ryo. He looked up warily, glanced around, and finally locked onto a figure behind the layers of rain.

"Grandma once said that people become weak once they fall in love with someone."

In the torrential rain, the red beetle insect detector weaved through the rain curtain, and a black figure with hands in pockets gradually emerged from the rain.

"But people don't need to feel ashamed of this, because it's not true weakness."

Bang! ! !

The beetle struck several charging green-skinned insects hard, knocking them to the ground. Then it turned and flew back to Tiandao's side, where he held it horizontally in front of his eyes and suddenly grabbed it.

"henshin!"

The armor gradually covered the Heavenly Dao's appearance, obscuring its sharp eyes.

The sudden turn of events enraged Kagami Ryo, who flapped his wings and soared high into the air amidst the rain.

"Buzz!"

With a flap of its wings, Kagami Akira swooped down, heading straight for Kabuto.

Seeing this, Kabuto dodged the dive to the right, drew his kunai, and quickly pulled the trigger at Kagami Ryo.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Several sparks flashed, and Kagami Ryo staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

"Come help me!" The resonance between the alien insects clearly allowed him to sense Yuuma not far away, and he urged.

"...Here it comes."

After Kagami Ryo was knocked to the ground by Kabuto's alternating light and heavy punches, Yuuma finally arrived and stood in front of Kagami Ryo.

"Sorry, Tiandao. I think you need to go help that guy, otherwise... he'll get eaten by those green-skinned creatures."

Yuma stretched out her hand and pointed towards Kagami Shin.

"Leave this to me."

Kagami Ryo, who was initially overjoyed, froze after hearing Yuma and Tendo's conversation.

He realized that this Zergling was a traitor, and that it was in cahoots with the Kabuto on the other side!

Even the torrential rain couldn't stop the frequency of his wing flapping; clearly, he was preparing to escape.

Seeing Kabuto stare at him, Yuuma slowly turned around and smiled. He then grabbed Kagami Ryo, who was trying to escape from behind.

"Don't try to do anything you shouldn't." Yuuma's expression wasn't so pleasant when facing Kagami Ryo.

With a cold face, he dragged the disheartened Kagami Ryo to the ground and, amidst his terrified expression, grasped the two wings on his back.

"You ruined my plan, you're really disobedient." Yuma looked at Kagami Ryo beneath him, and before he could say anything, he suddenly exerted force with both hands.

"ah!!!"

Amidst the insect's agonizing screams, Yuzhen brutally tore off its two wings.

Looking at the bleeding alien insect behind him, Yuzhen pouted in dissatisfaction, picked it up casually, and walked towards Kagami Shin.

When dealing with some unmolted alien insects, Tiandao doesn't need to exert much effort at all. After the transformation speed is accelerated, these alien insects are no match for him.

Having dealt with all the Zerg, only two molting Zerg and two humans remained on the field.

"You decide what to do."

After Kabuto finished dressing, he placed the kunai spear in his hand into Kagami Arata's hand.

Kneeling on the ground, Kagami Arata, his face ashen, looked at the kunai spear in front of him, his hand trembling as he reached out and grasped it.

He slowly rose from the muddy ground, his body filthy and disheveled, his hair wet and tangled with rain, the flame in his eyes ignited by the rain.

Yuma tossed Kagami Ryo in front of Kagami Shin, raised his hands, and gracefully retreated into the boundless darkness under Kagami's gaze.

What happened next was something he had agreed upon with the Heavenly Dao.

No one can kill this alien insect before Kagami Shin makes his choice.

"Brother, are you really going to kill me?"

"If you kill me, Ryo, then you'll cease to exist." The insect, now in human form, smiled and looked at Kagami Shin with expectant eyes.

Bang!

Kagami delivered a swift and decisive punch to Xiaoliang's face, knocking him to the ground.

"You're not allowed to use that tone, and you're not allowed to use his face!!!" Kagami roared angrily, the image of the alien insect superimposed on the image of Xiao Liang in front of him, making his vision even more blurred.

"Hehehe... What a terrifying and ugly expression, brother." Kagami Ryo didn't care about his posture, lying on the ground looking at the angry roaring person, revealing a mocking smile.

The endless rain and Kagami Akira's words poured into his ears, and the flames burning in that void drew closer to Kagami Arata.

It was an empty stadium, the vanished Kagami Ryo, and the panicked Kagami Arata.

In that illusory flame, Kagami Arata saw everything from the past, all the promises and vows.

"Yes, I failed. I couldn't protect my younger brother."

Kagami Shin gave a bitter laugh, raised the gun in his hand, and aimed it at Kagami Ryo, who was lying on the ground.

"But an alien is an alien. You are the enemy who killed my brother. Even if you have my brother's skin and memories, I will never let you go."

Having said that, Kagami Shinichi turned cold and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The flashes of light from the kunai gun pierced Kagami Arata's eyes. After firing more than a dozen shots, he threw the gun to the ground, walked away dejectedly without looking back.

"Thump!!!"

The flames ignited, exploding into a delicate flower in the rain, before slowly receding into ashes that fell into the hands of Heaven.

"You've overcome your feelings... Kagami, I take back my previous assessment of you."

"You are an interesting person."

The rain soaked their clothes completely. Kagami Shin turned around, looking disheveled and pale: "Then thank you for your new perspective, Heaven."

He smiled bitterly, but the flames in his eyes grew larger and larger, like a fierce, burning lion, almost leaping out of his eyes to tear apart everything he hated.

"That strange insect, you must know it, otherwise you wouldn't have shown it mercy." He raised his head, the cold rain pattering on his face, which actually made him feel relaxed.

"Yes, just like you, he's an interesting person," Tendou told Kagami without pausing.

In Tendo's eyes, Kagami has now risen from an unrelated person to a familiar one, and he is willing to talk to Kagami more.

"Then tell him that if he doesn't want to die, he should stay away from me." Kagami waved his hand, dragging his tired body, and disappeared from Tendo's sight.

An umbrella appeared in Tiandao's line of sight, sheltering him from the rain. Under the umbrella stood Youzhen.

"I hope he can grow up a bit," Yuma said softly, watching Kagami walk away.

"He will," Tiandao agreed.

Shibuya Ruins

"Why...why did the steel-casket insect device, which isn't even finished yet, start moving?"

The researchers were puzzled as they looked at the steel bucket insect apparatus trembling inside the cage.

Mishima looked at the trembling insect device with some confusion.

After thinking about it, he decided not to report it to his superiors, since it was normal for an unstable insect instrument to have problems.

"Continue development and finish it as soon as possible." After giving his instructions, he adjusted his glasses and left the underground research lab.
