Fortunately, the parasitic moths behind him did not catch up, and Tokarev came to a towering tree after passing through a strange thicket of plants. The canopy stretched upwards, even reaching the top of the lattice-shaped cave.

Countless pale, swollen roots branched out from a spherical trunk, and a deformed red flower grew at the top of the crown. Around it, countless yellow, double-petaled flowers bloomed on the low lawn, swaying gently. Suddenly, Tokarev smelled an intoxicating fragrance, and in his reverie, he felt not in a bottomless underground cave, but in his own dining room, enjoying dinner with his family.

There was no nuclear war, no unspeakable existence, no end of human civilization; it all seemed like a dream he had.

Looking at the abundance of food on the oak dining table and his wife holding a bowl of borscht, he stood there, seemingly trying to resist the illusion.

"No, this is not true. My wife is already dead."

Suddenly, a gentle little hand grabbed Tokarev's fingers. He looked down and saw his five-year-old daughter smilingly holding his hand and pulling him forward.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

The wife, who was distributing the cutlery, looked up, saw her husband, smiled gently, and said softly, "Darling, you're back."

At that moment, Tokarev could no longer resist the allure of the illusion and walked straight toward the restaurant. Warm, gentle lights shone overhead, and the family of three chatted and laughed.

"Even if it's an illusion, don't let it stop."

Tokarev affectionately stroked his daughter's blonde hair and gently kissed her forehead.

Suddenly, Tokarev saw a familiar figure standing outside the window.

The Asian youth who had been following behind him was now standing on the lawn in the garden, watching him silently.

"No no no!"

Upon seeing Bai Ge appear, the surrounding scenery instantly blurred. He stood up, clutching his hair, and pleaded in anguish.

"Please, God, let me stay a little longer!"

He desperately reached for his daughter, who was still laughing and talking in front of him. But when he reached out, his hand passed right through the illusion. The man froze on the spot, silently closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

When he opened his tear-filled eyes again, the young Asian man stood in front of him, staring at him with a strange expression.

"What's wrong with me?"

Tokarev was about to take a step forward when he found himself seemingly frozen in place. Tokarev slowly lowered his head, and the next moment his pupils widened in shock.

His lower body had transformed into plant roots, his feet atrophied into countless swollen rootlets digging into the soil, and his soft skin was rapidly drying into rough, blocky bark. Tokarev felt as if countless eyes filled with resentment and malice were growing on his body, and the instincts of predation and killing were slowly but rapidly eroding his memory.

"You have been seduced by the tree of desire behind you and have now become a predatory plant."

"Predatory plants?"

"It seems you haven't noticed yet."

Bai Ge sighed, "But that's true, you may never see it again."

He took out a mirror, pointed it at Tokarev, and silently turned his head to the side.

With the help of a mirror, Tokarev finally saw himself in the final stage of his life.

A massive, vibrant, saprophytic plant, the Chimera, grew from the top of his head. Its red blossoms were covered with countless ovules, originating from parietal placentations. His hands transformed into fan-shaped leaves resembling Venus flytraps, their edges serrated. The human face atop the bucket-thick stem was slowly fading. Tokarev knew that soon his consciousness would completely disappear, replaced by a predatory plant—the Chimera Giant Flower.

"I understand."

Tokarev closed his tearful eyes and whispered, "There's still one last bundle of explosives in that backpack. Please let me go."

"..."

Bai Ge nodded, picked up the explosives at his feet, and prepared to help Tokarev get a quick end to his life. However, the next moment, the ground shook violently, and even the rock wall above him fell with rubble, which crashed into the jungle, startling a swarm of flying insects.

A swarm of ravenous Chernobyl giant rats sprang from the depths of the forest, frantically devouring everything around them. Aside from the natural predatory plants that treated these giant rats as snacks, the defenseless vegetation was instantly devoured.

However, when the giant rats rushed towards the towering tree, they all went around it, as if even the reckless rats held a sense of awe for the trees before them. Bai Ge watched the giant rats rush past him without stopping, looked in the opposite direction they fled, and said softly, "Something is coming this way."

The sea of ​​trees in the forest swayed continuously as it approached, as if a colossal creature was charging towards it.

A giant locust head emerged from the depths of the forest, its mandibles constantly chopping and chewing, stuffing huge plants into its mouth and churning them haphazardly. What was even more terrifying was that these life forms seemed to have always been created for war, the ultimate product of the flesh-and-blood technology route, without any of the inherent defects of organisms on the tortuous path of evolution. Every part of their bodies seemed to have been conceived for war.

Meanwhile, the image of a terrifying race with a similar structure also appeared in Bai Ge's mind.

Titans

Chapter 599 Blade Queen and the Bewitching Demon

"I see. Some of the Tyranid eggs landed on Earth. After they hatched, the Hive Will did not issue any commands as a node, which is why this part of the Tyranids did not expand by devouring, but instead lay dormant deep in Chernobyl, using the furnace core as nourishment to reproduce. This part of the Tyranids has now gathered the genes of the Tyranids on Earth and become a different kind of existence."

The consciousness of the Tyranids was originally a collection of super-information concepts with extremely powerful energy, formed by the condensation of the real world and the warp. Without the command of the hive consciousness, the swarm was like a group of headless flies, having no idea what to do. It could only hide in the deep pit, slowly multiplying and developing, devouring everything.

Facing the menacing, locust-like insectoid lifeforms charging towards him, Bai Ge did not dodge, but slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, the passage of time slowed down in his mind, and the charging giant insects seemed to be frozen in place, completely still.

In Bai Ge's eyes, all he saw was the dense, chaotic neural pathways of the giant insectoid race connected to an invisible thread linking all the insectoids. However, these threads remained in a chaotic state. Bai Ge closed his eyes and extended countless radiant gazes from between his fingers, spreading outwards and condensing in mid-air to form a dazzling node.

The mere release of a super-information concept network caused Bai Ge's surging divine power to decline rapidly at a visible rate. Behind Bai Ge, a container resembling a glass jar appeared, its surging spiritual energy being rapidly drained.

The armored sawtooth locust that had charged menacingly toward him had stopped. When Bai Ge opened his eyes, the giant monster's sharp, constantly slicing mandibles were less than twenty meters away. Its enormous compound eyes were fixed on the frail human in front of him, but it could no longer take another step forward.

Crimson blood flowed from Bai Ge's nasal cavity. He casually wiped the blood away with the back of his hand and coldly sized up the monster in front of him.

The energy aggregate node was like a constantly spreading mycelium, firmly controlling all the insect swarms in the underground cave. Bai Ge felt as if his mind was overloaded, and he had to use a constant stream of divine power to replenish it and maintain control of the insect swarm.

When the Outer God's power was nearly exhausted, it finally gained control of the entire Zerg swarm. However, Bai Ge was not satisfied with this. The Node, similar to a cerebrate monarch, commanded all its subordinate Zerg. Bai Ge only needed to issue a command to the Node, and the Node would provide the best solution by considering all factors.

However, the current node is like a helpless, pitiful, and weak white rabbit, which can only rely on the swarm's guards for protection.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge once again drained his spiritual energy, and the water level in the glass tank behind him had reached a critical point.

At this moment, the collective of hyper-information concepts changed, gradually coalescing into a girl with curly hair and a long silver dress, starkly different from the surrounding ugly and ferocious giant insects and mimicking predatory plants. A little rabbit perched on her lap twitched its ears, displaying an adorable expression.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, her pale purple pupils gazing curiously at the young man before her. Yet, instinct etched into her mind made her kneel down on one knee and whisper, "Master."

Pale-faced Bai Ge drank a bottle of recovery potion, trying his best to suppress his ever-increasing spiritual vision, worried about being noticed by other indescribable beings on Earth.

Bai Ge looked at the girl in front of him and asked softly, "Do you know your mission?"

"know."

The girl, without any expression, repeated the mission that Bai Ge had imprinted deep in her mind, saying, "Eat up all living things on the surface of this dungeon planet, and after you've finished devouring them, spread rapidly growing and highly aggressive predatory plants to absorb the nutrients and life remaining in the soil. Then, the swarm of insects will devour them and convert them into new energy, gathering all the power that can resist the Outer Gods, the Old Gods, and the Evolution Game for the Supreme Will."

Bai Ge was about to turn and leave when the bewitching insect suddenly called out to him from behind, asking softly, "Then, esteemed master, how should we spread your fame to the other races?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Ge said, "From now on, your name will be Blade Queen Trap."

"Yes, my master."

After receiving Bai Ge's permission, the insect bewitching demon turned around, still elegantly lifting her skirt. She gazed at the swarm of insects crawling at her feet, her eyes cold and lifeless.

From the moment they receive the information, the swarm becomes a sharp blade. The supreme being that gives them the will is willing to flatten the entire universe and destroy everything with just a single command.

"Let's take action."

The troll's voice was faint, like a mosquito buzzing softly in someone's ear, yet the enormous insectoids trembled with tension.

Unseen pheromones spread throughout the entire hive, and the Zerg life forms lurking in the dark, sunless underground oasis forest began to riot.

"Devouring the predatory plants throughout the entire underground cavern, and then plowing the planet into a wasteland."

"Anyone who stands in our way, whether human or god, shall be killed without mercy."

……

The team that had miraculously escaped from Chernobyl headed towards the underground bunker. No longer bound by their life of constant fear and exposure to the elements, everyone clung to the hope of survival, knowing full well that their captain, who had entered the underground oasis, would not return alive. The remaining members decided to keep quiet and bury the matter deep inside.

No one will ever set foot in the Chernobyl exclusion zone again; it will become a true exclusion zone for humanity.

Suddenly, the group sitting in the desolate building stopped in their tracks. They noticed a slight tremor in the ground, and even the pebbles seemed to be shaking.

"What's going on? Could it be an earthquake?"

The crowd, bewildered and filled with fear and unease, watched all this unfold.

"No, look! Something's happened at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant!"

They looked toward the nuclear power plant behind them, from which billowing smoke and dust billowed into the air, forming visible columns of smoke.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the entire stone coffin covering the nuclear power plant was forcibly overturned. Everyone's hearts tightened, and then they saw a burrowing worm as exaggerated as a mountain range rush out. Its entire body was covered with dense scales and thick armor, and its spiraling, curved serrated teeth kept wriggling, devouring and chewing the mimic plants in the underground oasis.

Everyone was stunned, some even standing still, too afraid to move, with only one thought deep in their minds.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Chapter 600 You are Lucian, the Holy Gunner!

The tremors emanating from the depths of Chernobyl continued to intensify, and the insectoid swarms that had lay dormant for decades began to stir. The first burrowing worm bursting from the ground and revealing its terrifying form was already frightening enough, but unexpectedly, a second, a third, and a fourth followed. As the burrowing worms breathed through the exhaust vents beneath their dorsal armor plates, they emitted a muffled whistling sound, unconsciously releasing a scorching heat that even distorted the air itself.

Then came the moss and lichen emerging from the Chernobyl sarcophagus. These blood-red fungal carpets were growing and spreading rampantly, covering everything around them like a tidal wave—the dilapidated exterior walls of buildings, the withered treetops, even the filthy sewers piled with fallen leaves—the whole world turned the color of blood. The rapidly spreading mycelium soon surged past the survivors' feet, but these blood-red moss and lichens did not attack them; instead, they continued to spread, greedily devouring all organic matter.

The soil beneath their feet became barren, and the continuous absorption of organic matter became the nutrients that sustained the insect swarm.

Tree bark and even reinforced concrete buildings have been completely eaten away by fungal spores, but they have not fallen. Instead, they have turned into spore smoke towers, continuously spewing thick smoke into the outside world.

The intertwined, sprawling roots of the fungal carpet have even begun to automatically weave and intertwine, forming a hatching factory. Rows of insect eggs are rapidly hatching, and the emerging insects are wriggling quickly, joining this feast of devouring everything. The efficient conversion mechanism of the fungal carpet can utilize ubiquitous biomass to hatch millions of insect eggs.

The swarms of insects, incorporating Earth's genetic makeup, are evolving in a frenzied manner, employing the most efficient methods of slaughter. They've grown thick chitinous armor on their backs, capable of withstanding the sun's intense heat, and combined with highly efficient harvesting mandibles and bio-turrets on their backs, they've become extremely terrifying monsters. The enormous spores released from their backs are like cannonballs fired in all directions, with spore dust constantly falling to the ground and rapidly taking root and sprouting.

They even created a modified alien life form that has broken free from host parasitism and become asexually reproducing "engineer ants," responsible for scouting and serving as vanguards for expanding the nest's territory.

The ground world had long since become a paradise for the Familiars and the Great Old Ones. Humanity's sky lord had changed hands, and the ground was a graveyard of aircraft wreckage. Various transport planes and fighter jets were half-buried in the murky, filthy soil, while a flock of creatures resembling carrion crows hovered in the sky.

The crustacean-like body is covered with several pairs of large organs that resemble dorsal fins or membranous wings, as well as a series of segmented limbs. Where the head should be, there is a complex ellipsoid covered with numerous short tentacles.

They are called Migo.

On the ground was a massive magic circle resembling a teleportation portal, emitting a ghostly blue glow. Migo, who was gathering resources on the ground, suddenly sensed a terrifying danger. They saw countless red and black dots appearing on the distant horizon, rapidly spreading in their direction.

Before Migo could even react, the monster, flapping its wings and flying at supersonic speed, instantly appeared in front of him. Before Migo could react, sharp scythes sliced ​​open their tentacle-covered heads.

Countless corpses fell from the sky like rain. Even the most technologically advanced races were doomed to die when faced with a swarm of insects that had evolved specifically for war and expansion.

Even if they managed to kill some of the flying Zerg, a much larger swarm surged in like an overwhelming ocean wave, instantly engulfing everything and tearing them to shreds.

Even if Migo's technology is advanced, it's no use. Faced with sheer numbers and bodies evolved to their fullest potential, it's like locusts devouring wheat.

And this catastrophe continues to expand across the desolate lands, threatening to devour all the planets.

The dark-skinned man rose from the crumbling rooftop of the skyscraper. He wore a magnificent, multicolored robe and a double golden crown that shimmered naturally. He was tall and slender. His clear eyes gazed at the distant, dim, orange sky, and his expression began to become complex.

"I felt it."

"A powerful and terrifying aura, but it does not belong to any of the Great Old Ones."

"The lower-ranking servant races and independent races are wailing. Some parts of the Eastern Hemisphere have become vacuum zones devoid of any life. Interesting."
