I'm not just human!

If he hadn't already known that the era of mutants spanned billions of years, the information contained in this memory fragment alone would have been enough to astonish him.

After all, the extraordinary era has only been around for a little over 30,000 years, and the most terrifying catastrophe is just a year away.

"More than 20 million years ago, after their struggles, the Animal Mutation Association and the Element Mutation Association finally chose to compromise and join forces to develop together."

"At the same time, a large number of mathematicians, chemists, and even physicists emerged from the private sector."

"With the help or even personal participation of animal mutants and element mutants, all kinds of scientific theories and experiments conceived by scientists can be quickly verified."

"Thus, starting from Worm City, technology has developed greatly, and now, the mutants have entered... the interstellar age."

"Led by spaceships, the mutated people began to spread throughout the surrounding galaxies."

"However, due to the limited speed of the spaceship, the mutants have never been able to reach some star systems that are farther away from Caligia, and can only settle on a few dozen planets around them."

"But this doesn't affect anything. The mutants still discovered a huge treasure trove—countless mutant crystal sources on various planets, as well as mutant fleshballs hidden in the bodies of certain animals on some habitable planets with natural environments."

"The mutants who went on interstellar explorations brought back an unimaginable number of mutant crystal sources and mutant flesh balls, which enabled the mutants to develop and grow stronger at an increasingly rapid pace."

"Especially after the prices of mutant crystal sources and mutant flesh balls were driven down, each ordinary household can now selectively cultivate one or two mutants."

"It is clear that mutation combined with technology will soon allow mutated humans to truly begin to rule the entire universe, provided that spaceship speed is increased or scientists develop warp technology."

"But everything changed after the mutants landed on a planet inhabited by life."

As he sorted through the jumbled fragments of memory in his mind, Xia Fa also saw a scene that was quite unexpected.

It seems that because "Tegrus," the being who transmigrated out of control, was also a witness to that great upheaval, he was able to witness it through fragments of Tegrus's memories.

"That life-bearing planet was named 'Panidas' when it was first discovered, meaning that it was a paradise-like place."

"That's true. Panridas's ecological environment, oxygen content, and even atmospheric pressure are similar to those of Caligia. It is another planet that is extremely suitable for human habitation after Caligia."

"Not only that, but Panridas also has countless mutated crystal source deposits, and it is easier to obtain mutated flesh balls after hunting wild beasts."

"Hundreds of millions of mutants arrived on Panridas in spaceships, worked hard to develop and build it, and made it humanity's second home."

"But just a few years after the arrival of humans, a company that specializes in mining mutated crystal resources got into big trouble."

"In a wasteland, they accidentally discovered a giant mutated crystal source vein, and the main products produced were intermediate and advanced mutated crystal sources, and even some top-level mutated crystal sources."

"Even though the price of mutant crystal sources had been driven very low at that time, high-quality mutant crystal sources could still fetch a good price."

"The huge profits made the mining company eager to make a move. They recruited a large number of low-level animal mutants and element mutants, put on protective suits, and drove super-large drilling machines to frantically mine this giant mutant crystal source vein."

"What the company didn't expect was that as the depth of excavation and mining increased, the quality of the mutant crystal sources that could be mined actually became higher and higher."

"Seeing that they were about to break through the Earth's crust and reach the mantle, the company's chairman ignored the advice of the scientific advisor and insisted on continuing to dig."

"Because at that time, all the mutated crystal sources that were dug out every day were high-level, and top-level ones were not uncommon."

"But on the very day they dug into the mantle layer, the entire human population of Panridas was wiped out."

"In the mantle layer, there are actually a large number of subterranean creatures. They are thick-skinned, extremely fast, and each has its own strange abilities."

"Even the most powerful whale-level mutants at the time would have had a hard time withstanding the siege of the subterranean creatures."

"Including that mining company, the humans of Panrida were quickly wiped out by the subterranean creatures. Surprisingly, these subterranean creatures quickly learned how to pilot human spaceships."

"Then, the subterranean creatures... flew their spaceships to Caligi."

As Xia Fa sorted through the clues, the scene that "Tegru" had witnessed firsthand—a scene that was the most terrifying nightmare for the mutated people—could not be ignored.

Countless spaceships, blotting out the sun, descended from the atmosphere. Before they even landed, all sorts of bizarre subterranean creatures leaped or flew down from them, slaughtering humanity.

These subterranean creatures not only feed on humans, but also enjoy the thrill of killing.

This led to the near extinction of the once-prosperous planet Caligia within days, with the surviving humans, led by mutated individuals, seeking refuge in the Worm City.

Tegl had just returned from Panridas on vacation when he witnessed the arrival of the subterranean creatures a few days later.

Fortunately, Worm City, as the birthplace of mutants, had long ago built a massive city wall with extremely strong defensive capabilities, thanks to the concerted efforts of the presidents of the Animal Mutation Association and the Elemental Mutation Association. This was enough to barely stop the attack of the underground creatures.

Not only that, the two associations also organized the mutated people to launch wave after wave of counterattacks against the subterranean creatures.

However, to everyone's surprise, even though the subterranean creatures had already arrived on all the spaceships in the first place, their numbers should have been limited.

But strangely enough, in the past few months, the underground creatures have seemed endless.

Finally, after several suicide squads dispatched by the two major associations risked their lives to explore the area, they brought back a shocking piece of intelligence.

The subterranean creatures... have actually established numerous nests around Worm City and even throughout the entire planet Caligi, constantly breeding more and more subterranean creatures!

Thus, the mutants' goal shifted from exterminating subterranean creatures to destroying their nests at all costs while doing so.

After repeated clashes and fierce tug-of-war, the mutants, empowered by both mutation and technology, especially after developing super-heavy uranium cannons specifically targeting these subterranean creatures, finally saw the dawn of victory and hope.

The nests of the subterranean creatures were almost completely destroyed, and the remaining tens of thousands of subterranean creatures gathered in the last mother nest, putting up a desperate resistance.

But ironically, precisely because of this, the mutated humans couldn't break in, and the mother nest built by all the underground creatures reproduced exceptionally quickly.

A balance was thus reached between the two sides, a balance achieved at the cost of lives.

However, this balance was recently broken.

In the past, the most powerful subterranean creatures could only be on par with whale-level mutants. But perhaps because of the establishment of a huge mother nest, alien subterranean creatures were born in the mother nest!

Such alien subterranean creatures often require a dozen or even dozens of whale-level mutants to pay a terrible price to eliminate them.

Not only that, the blood spilled by the exterminated alien subterranean creatures will cause plants to mutate, producing fruit that is deadly poisonous to mutant humans.

Wherever the blood of alien subterranean creatures has been spilled, it is basically impossible to grow cash crops.

The alien subterranean creatures were being born at a rate that had increased from once every two weeks to once every few days, and the frequency seemed to be increasing.

Ultimately, the presidents of the Animal Mutation Association and the Element Mutation Association, after much painful reflection, made a bold decision.

That is, to mobilize all the high-level mutants in Worm City and destroy the mother nest of the underground creatures at all costs!

This time, a total of over a thousand squads were dispatched, each squad consisting of two to five people, each carrying an elemental incendiary warhead.

The Element Destruction Warhead is a tactical bomb developed by combining technology and mutation, possessing the ability to rapidly spread and burn carbon-based organisms.

If we can break through the defenses of the subterranean creatures, drop such a warhead into the center of the mother nest and detonate it, we can completely destroy the last nest of the subterranean creatures!

Now, Shafa knows that he, who has traveled into the form of "Teglü," has formed a team with his teammate "Sansk" and is on his way to destroy the Mother Nest.

Actually, they were a five-person team, but three of them had already sacrificed their lives.

At this moment, Sanskr, with his blond hair and freckles, set off again and walked to a large tree.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Fa saw a hole beneath the large tree, surrounded by piles of soil and turf, indicating that it had been dug for quite some time.

“We’re only a hundred meters away. If it weren’t for a dozen or so underground creatures suddenly emerging, we would have already dug through. Tegru, once we successfully destroy the mother hive, we will both become heroes, and my father will never look down on me again.”

Sansk spoke with a piercing gaze, as if, to him, destroying the Mother Nest was more of a heroic feat than a deadly adventure.

Or rather, these two factors depend solely on success or failure.

Xiafa didn't speak, but only glanced one last time through the dense broad leaves at the terrifying tooth marks and claw marks on the giant metal walls of Worm City.

It now appears that this was caused by the alien subterranean creatures, meaning that the strength of these alien subterranean creatures is equivalent to that of a demigod among the superhumans.

Based on the fragments of memory he had just heard, Xia Fa learned that even now, tens of millions of years later, the strongest of the mutants is only at the whale level.

However, this is much better than last time. When he lost control and traveled through time last time, the strongest of the mutants was only at the Eagle level...

"Tegl!"

Sanders then urged again, smiling as he said:

"Don't blame me for being anxious. Without our support, I really wouldn't dare to move forward, especially—"

Halfway through his speech, his expression suddenly changed:

"Teglü, watch out behind you!!!"

Chapter 411 Time Travel: Encountering the Sun God King?!

The strong wind was like a gleaming blade, almost forming a white streak, slashing horizontally from behind.

Although Xia Fa did not turn around, he instinctively sensed the danger heading straight for the back of his neck. Coupled with Sanders' timely reminder, he rolled forward without hesitation.

With a "whoosh," the blade-like force narrowly swept across him and rushed out. The trees in the rainforest were completely unable to withstand it. Within a kilometer radius, all the trees were cut in half before the force was finally exhausted.

Boom!

A deafening thunderous roar resounded, but it didn't come from behind; it came from Sanders' direction.

Xia Fa looked up and saw that, without him noticing, Sanders had transformed from a blond-haired, freckled youth into a humanoid figure made of lightning, possessing a certain divine quality. He was clasping his hands together and unleashing thick bolts of lightning towards the direction behind him.

The smell of burning feathers immediately filled the air behind him, accompanied by hissing snakes. Without hesitation, Xia Fa rolled forward again, creating a large distance and arriving directly beside Sanders.

Then he turned his head and saw clearly what had attacked him.

Without a doubt, it could only be a subterranean creature, but there are many kinds of subterranean creatures.

The creature in front of me looks like a spider at first glance, but it only has six legs. Each leg is covered with a sharp, blade-like shell made of extremely strong chitin, with protruding tips that seem capable of easily piercing through anything.

What's truly chilling is that several snake heads were emerging from the abdomen of this spider-like subterranean creature, constantly swaying.

Although the fragments of Tegr's memory also contained images of subterranean creatures, seeing them in person now, especially at such close range, still made Shafa feel the danger and terror of these creatures.

Of course, if it were his original self, this subterranean creature would probably be no different from an ant in his eyes. But now, he has transmigrated into the whale-level mutant Tegru, and the fear he feels is Tegru's physical instinct, which he can only barely suppress.

Fortunately, since the soul belonged to Xia Fa himself, he remained calm throughout.

"Thank goodness it's not some alien subterranean creature. Tegret, let's go! Quickly finish it off and prevent it from releasing pheromones that will attract other companions!"

Sanders then let out a low roar, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he charged directly at the subterranean creature.

Xia Fa paused for a moment, then seemed to find the deepest mutant instinct within him. He clenched his fists, and strands of yellow and white striped hair quickly grew from his cheeks and the backs of his exposed hands.

"Roar!!!!"

The tiger's roar shook the mountains and forests, causing leaves to fall in a rustling sound. A tiger-like figure, dressed in special operations gear and as big as a small truck, pounced on the creature from the ground, arriving first despite being behind.

It was Xia Fa in his "completely mutated form." That's right, the Tegr he transmigrated into was a saber-toothed giant tiger mutant.

The saber-toothed giant tiger mutant is extremely rare, even among animal mutants, and its combat power is far stronger than others of the same level. This may be the reason why Tegru has survived this extremely dangerous mission.

As soon as Xia Fa, transformed into a saber-toothed giant tiger, approached, he raised his tiger claw and slapped down. The subterranean creature was not stupid; its six insect-like legs swayed simultaneously, turning into afterimages as it dodged to the left.

With a loud "boom," Xia Fa's tiger paw slammed onto the ground, and the rainforest seemed to tremble. The underground creature lost its balance and almost stumbled and fell.

Just then, crackling lightning erupted beneath it, and a humanoid figure made of lightning emerged from the ground and embraced it.
