My evil self is completely unable to exert its power in the Zerg.

It was a monster that was fundamentally different from the female insect form that Su Tang had seen before.

Even any Zerg who has seen him cannot bring themselves to call him a wolf spider.

The monster's furry appearance is an illusion; only upon close inspection can one see that its entire body is covered only with jagged bone armor.

These bone armor plates were not smooth, but covered with jagged barbs and sharp edges, flowing with a cold and dark metallic luster in the dim light, as if they could absorb all the light around them.

These spikes also made the monster look like it was covered in fur.

Between the crevices of the bone armor, strange, deep purple energy veins could be faintly seen, flowing slowly like magma, emitting an ominous glow that made the insects tremble.

Supporting this terrifying body were eight... no, countless legs, even Su Tang couldn't count them all. Some were as thick as battering sledgehammers, while others were as slender as sickles.

The ends of each leg are not simple claws, but terrifying foot blades covered with thick keratin and shaped like huge hooks.

The tip of the foot blade gleamed with a cold, eerie light as it pierced deep into the hard alloy plate of the ground, leaving a deep dent.

These legs were not still; they were like branches, intertwined, supporting the monster's body. They undulated slightly with a deadly rhythm, like a deadly spring ready to launch at any moment.

In addition, a thick, unusually ferocious bony tail roams behind him, with a claw-shaped tip similar to a foot blade. If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a spider leg.

The monster's upper body structure was also exceptionally horrifying.

Where a spider's head should be, there is no head; instead, there are two curved, sickle-like, huge mandibles.

The inside of the jaws is covered with rings of fine, gleaming serrations, the edges of which are sharp enough to easily cut through the hardest alloys.

At the base of the jaws, there was a dark bone structure that rose up like a helmet, and right in the center of the bone armor was Morpheus's upper body!

No, perhaps that's not entirely accurate either.

The other half only vaguely revealed Morpheus's handsome features from his head; his pale skin was covered by black scales, and his physique was much stronger than before.

My previously messy hair has grown much longer, but it hasn't obstructed my vision at all.

Because his face had only one scarlet eye that burned with pure violence and destructive desire.

That vertical pupil occupied nearly half of the head's surface area. It contained no emotion, only the coldest and purest killing intent, like the gaze of an abyss, fixedly locked onto the shattered scorpion corpse in front of it, as if confirming the complete demise of its prey.

But this is not the monster's only eye.

His pitch-black body was covered with tiny crevices, and it wasn't until the monster opened a few of them that the insects present realized that they were all closed scarlet compound eyes.

The eyes covering its body weren't the most terrifying thing. What truly terrified the insect was the two twisted forelimbs extending from its sides, covered in the same jet-black bony armor.

That thing was less like forelimbs and more like two grotesque killing weapons.

The ends of the chelicerae are not pincer-shaped, but rather resemble two giant scythes magnified countless times, with terrifying curves and serrations.

The scythe exuded a sharpness that could even cut through space, with a deep purple aura flowing along its edges—that was the toxin secreted by the monster, which corroded a large hole in the alloy floor upon merely touching it.

On the serrated edge of one of the scythes, viscous biological tissue and dark red liquid were slowly dripping, clearly from the giant scorpion that had just been torn apart.

A pungent, nauseating stench of blood, mixed with an even more primal and violent, viscous aura like that of a prehistoric beast, surged and spread from the body of this terrifying monster.

The air seemed to be filled with a suffocating pressure because of this aura.

This thing is no longer a Zergling; it's a terrifying monster that crawled out of a nightmare, solely to bring pure destruction!

Time seemed to stand still for only a moment.

The three black market members who were originally pouncing on the insect-like Morpheus were stunned by the horrific sight of the giant scorpion being instantly torn apart and the overwhelming pressure. Their minds went blank, their charging postures froze completely, and fear instantly froze their blood.

One of the black market members seemed to realize what was happening and immediately transformed into a dung beetle. However, instead of attacking, he turned and ran away.

The other two even forgot to run away, just standing there blankly, their bodies trembling violently like sieves. The fierce aura brought by their half-insect transformation was completely crushed, and only endless fear from their life instinct remained in their eyes.

The terrifying, pitch-black monster slowly moved its huge, scarlet single eye away from the scorpion corpse, and all its compound eyes opened at the same time, sweeping across the three black market operatives without any emotion.

The moment they were swept by the gaze, their bodies trembled violently, and they almost collapsed!

"Strange...strange..." A tooth, frozen in place, clenched and spat out broken syllables from its throat.

Before he could finish speaking, his fleeing companion was torn to pieces and fell from the sky like rotting petals.

"...Things..."

The guy who made the sound was accompanied by a "poof" sound, like a ripe fruit being crushed.

His companion's stiff body was silently sliding down from the waist up, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud, while his lower body remained standing.

The cut was smooth as a mirror, with hardly any blood splattering out—the deep purple blade, while cutting, also instantly incinerated all life with its poison.

Having done all this, the terrifying monster didn't even glance at the remains on the ground.

With a heavy and oppressive posture, it turned its head, which was covered by jagged bone armor. The huge single eye, burning with scarlet flames of destruction, pierced through the pervasive bloody mist and the barrier of space.

His cold, emotionless gaze fell upon Su Tang, who was being held tightly in Lancelot's arms, her only visible feature being a pair of terrified amber eyes.

As if locked in by the most terrifying abyss, Su Tang felt an indescribable chill instantly surge from her spine to the top of her head, and her blood seemed to freeze.

In its enormous, scarlet eye, there seemed to be only a savage ferocity that seemed to want to devour everything.

The tiny male insect was reflected in the monster's eyes, as if it were a delicious delicacy that made it drool. Its upper body was human-shaped, and its lower body was spider-like. Its bizarre structure, resembling Sagittarius, shocked Su Tang's understanding. The instinctive fear etched into the minds of Blue Star people towards a monster that was humanoid but not human made Su Tang's face lose all color, and her body trembled uncontrollably in Lancelot's arms.

His lingering insect instincts made him instinctively want to retreat, to hide deeper in Lancelot's arms, to avoid that cold gaze that seemed to freeze his soul.

At that very moment, the terrifying tarantula, which had just completed a bloody massacre and exuded a primal ferocity, seemed to have time frozen, standing there helplessly in place.

It seemed to want to take another step closer, and its sickle-shaped chelicerae, dripping with viscous liquid, lifted slightly for a moment.

But the next second, Su Tang's violent trembling and the unmistakable fear in her eyes pierced the depths of that scarlet single eye like a cold needle.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the monster, seemingly capable of destroying everything, froze instantly, like a punctured balloon.

The deep purple energy veins seemed to have dimmed somewhat.

It could only stand silently amidst the blood and gore, like a terrifying statue that had stood since time immemorial. Separated by the pervasive dust and blood mist, by the boundary between life and death, it closed all its compound eyes, and gazed at its little male insect with only that one huge scarlet eye, almost greedily.

The monster silently took a step back. Its massive foot blades scraped against the alloy ground, producing a tooth-grinding sound and leaving deep marks.

Realizing that its movements had frightened the little male insect again, the monster's body stiffened once more.

It no longer tries to get closer.

Just like that... watching.

Like a gutter rat, banished by the world and forced to hide in the shadows and peek at the light.

"...Morpheus?"

The male insect trembled and let out a soft cry in an almost inaudible, tearful voice, as if confirming something.

Upon hearing the call, the monster's massive, mountain-like body seemed to tremble very slightly.

Lancelot snapped out of his daze, clutching the male insect tightly, wary of the towering monster. He dared not gamble on whether Morpheus still possessed any sense.

The pink-haired female insect assessed the distance between herself and her comrades, as well as the battle situation, and calculated the best escape route, determined to protect her male lord.

The monster didn't move, and Lancelot didn't dare to make any rash moves.

And so, the two sides remained locked in a stalemate for an unknown period of time. In the deathly silence and the lingering smell of blood and gunpowder, a clear and loud voice, like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the dark clouds, suddenly exploded forth:

"Wow--!!!"

Su Tang suddenly struggled to free herself from Lancelot's embrace, completely ignoring Lancelot's instantly tense arms and attempts to stop her.

That little face, which had been pale with fright just moments before, was now flushed red with extreme excitement, and her amber eyes were wide open, with not a trace of fear in them.

All that remained was a breathtaking and exhilarating experience, as dazzling as a galaxy exploding, so pure it was almost overflowing.

The male insect's small mouth opened into a European shape, and its tail, which was originally wrapped around Lancelot's waist, became taut and straight due to extreme excitement. Then it began to swing rapidly from side to side, like a small fan.

As if he had discovered a priceless treasure, he pointed his trembling finger at Morpheus's terrifyingly enormous monstrous insect form, and with all his might, at the highest decibel he could muster, shouted the incomprehensible words that left all the insects, especially Morpheus, momentarily blank:

"So handsome!!! Morpheus!!!"

"Handsome...?" For the first time, a crack appeared on Lancelot's exquisite face. He subconsciously repeated the word, his violet eyes scanning back and forth incredulously between Morpheus's insect-like form, which could be described as a source of mental pollution, and Su Tang's excited little face.

After dealing with the maddened celebrities at the VIP seats, Klein, still bearing the marks of battle, froze on the spot, his expression completely out of control, as he arrived at the male insect's side.

"Holy crap! This bone armor! This color! It's so shiny black! It's so cool! It's a million times cooler than my 'Shadow Stardust Demon King's Battle Robe'!!!"

The young male's gaze swept greedily over the wolf spider's rugged, thick, jet-black carapace that shimmered with a dark luster, as if admiring a masterpiece of art.

"And this! This!!"

His finger pointed excitedly to the two huge, twisted, grotesque sickle-shaped chelicerae on either side of the tarantula's body, which were also covered with jet-black bone armor.

"Lancelot, doesn't it look like a super, incomparably huge scythe of death?!"

"Wow! It even lights up! That's so cool! It's way cooler than the devil horns I designed!!!"

Su Tang watched the deep purple energy halo flow around the tip of the blade, and she was so excited that she danced with joy, completely forgetting the fear she had just felt.

That's right, this is it!

Driven by extreme fear, the male insect's brain overworked and crashed. It automatically ignored the surrounding scenery that should have been blurred, and the young male's attention focused on the monster, automatically embellishing its image according to its own aesthetic judgment.

The monster before them had black, hard bone armor that looked exactly like the most advanced alloy armor.

Those deep purple energy veins, aren't they the coolest energy special effects light bands?

Those huge, sickle-shaped pincers, aren't they super-powerful combat arm blades?

And those eight enormous feet firmly planted on the ground...

That's so stable! That's so imposing! A million times cooler than those mecha models on StarNet!

The key is--

It's huge! Absolutely enormous! Just standing there still is visually striking!

The oppressive aura of an abyss monster is far greater than that of a holy white moth or a cool red dragon!

"This one! This one is the coolest!!"

Su Tang's gaze finally settled on the enormous, crimson eye, as red as burning lava. Her little face was filled with the ecstatic joy of discovering a new continent. "This eye! So big and red! Unique! So imposing! This is what our great villain should look like! Morpheus! You're so cool!!!"

Little Nose was so excited that he was incoherent, his little face shining with excitement, and his eyes were full of undisguised affection as he looked at Morpheus's insect form.

That's right. In his heart, it wasn't a terrifying beast that had just torn apart several powerful enemies, but Su Tang's coolest and most worthy ultimate secret weapon!

The thought that she had killed such a monster made Su Tang feel even greater and more powerful, and her words were full of boasting.

The entire area fell into an eerily quiet silence, even more so than before, with only the male insects still chattering and praising the monster's beauty.

Lancelot's arm holding Su Tang froze completely, and a clear crack of astonishment appeared on Klein's handsome face, which was usually frozen and almost expressionless.

Even with the composure and experience of the two female soldiers, their brains froze for a fraction of a second, following the little male's train of thought.

As for the monster tarantula...

Its massive, mountain-like body shuddered violently at Su Tang's earth-shattering exclamation of "So handsome!" followed by a series of fervent praises. The jagged bone armor covering its entire body seemed to emit a faint clattering sound.

The enormous single eye's pupil contracted to the size of a pinhead in an instant, then suddenly expanded, scattering all the complex negative emotions within it with the sudden shower of flattery.

Morpheus didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.
