The current situation was that Tier 12 enemies were still manageable; at the very least, the Zerg could kill them by throwing enough bugs into the fray.
Theoretically, those above Tier 12 could also be killed.
The problem was that the enemies would choose to dodge; they wouldn't stand there foolishly and let themselves be bombed. Furthermore, even if they were hit, breaking through their defense was exceptionally difficult.
Watching the enemies go on a killing spree while it became increasingly difficult for the bugs to shoot down the Tier 12 powerhouses, Xia Jin had to consider new measures.
“Should I use my projections? It seems like a bit of a loss.”
It had been hard enough to raise her projections to Tier 11 by killing so many demons; using them now didn't feel very cost-effective.
After all, they hadn't fully matured yet.
“Forget it, now isn't the time to worry about profit or loss. I'll just infuse them with energy.”
The Zerg currently had a reserve of standard energy. By slightly compressing it and infusing it into the projections to forcibly raise them to Tier 11, she could deploy them in batches.
However, facing a mix of Tier 12 and Tier 13 enemies, even using projections for self-destruction probably wouldn't be settled by just a small number of them.
“In that case, the projections will specifically deal with the strongest enemy.”
The rest would be worn down by the sea of insects.
With missile bugs and a massive number of rocket bugs firing continuously twenty-four hours a day, there would eventually be a moment to kill the enemies.
Unless they fled, they couldn't afford a single oversight as long as they remained within range. Once injured, the subsequent consequences for these Tier 12 powerhouses would be devastating.
Seeing these individuals slowly fly into the borders of Clear, Xia Jin knew she had to act.
Several projections absorbed the energy transmitted from the Hive, breaking through to Tier 11 one after another.
Then, the girls began to set out, lying in wait along the enemies' path of advancement.
Soon, in the area where a black-haired girl was lying in ambush, the powerhouses were seen flying by in the distance.
By this time, through the coordination of missile bugs and various aerial forces, another Tier 12 Divine Messenger had been shot down. Among the remaining eight powerhouses of the same level, all had sustained some degree of injury.
To deal with them, the Zerg had already deployed at least several million rounds of rocket bugs and missile bugs.
Such power did not disappoint Xia Jin. Although only one had been killed, it dealt a significant blow to the remaining Divine Messengers. Both physically and mentally, the enemies' subsequent actions became much more conservative, which indirectly reduced the losses of the Swarm.
At this moment, as the projection prepared to strike, a group of devourers and three powerful corruptors suddenly approached under the cover of over 100,000 scourges.
Acidic spores from the corruptors' mouths mixed with countless attacks, flying toward the enemies.
Because they were encountering too many attacks simultaneously, even with maximum evasion speed, several of the Tier 12 powerhouses were inevitably hit.
Sometimes, the power generated by the explosions would reach them even from a distance.
Whoosh— Whoosh— Whoosh—
Within a range of over ten kilometers, more than 10,000 rocket bugs were launched in succession. Just as these enemies were dealing with these troubles, Xia Jin struck.
She stealthily slipped beneath them. By the time they noticed her, her legs gave a sudden spring, using her powerful physical strength and psionic power to launch her body upward, instantly covering hundreds of meters.
Seeing the girl rapidly approaching with her arms completely transformed into insectoid limbs, the Tier 13 Divine Messenger frowned slightly. He was just about to strike and kill her as she reached him, when suddenly...
Hum!
A terrifying shockwave instantly swept through the area.
Psionic Blast activated!
This was not just a simple single burst of power.
By harnessing the collective spirit of the entire Swarm, Xia Jin concentrated the majority of the power onto this strongest individual.
At the moment of releasing the attack, this projection of hers also self-destructed.
The distance between the two sides was now within fifty meters.
Boom—
The beautiful girl's body suddenly turned into a bomb, sacrificing herself to generate an unrivaled and terrifying explosion.
The Psionic Blast followed this instantaneous burst of energy, the two stacking together, causing the Tier 13 powerhouse floating in mid-air to undergo a drastic change in expression.
The scene was instantly covered by a fireball of staggering diameter.
The human soldiers standing in the distance immediately squinted their eyes. If they had stared directly with wide eyes at such close range, they might have even been blinded.
“Just now... did someone go up there?” a soldier took a deep breath.
“A girl,” another person beside him said, swallowing hard.
The soldier: “...”
A beautiful girl self-destructing—no matter how one thought about it, the imagery was shocking.
“As expected of the Zerg. It's one thing to let those terrifying bugs self-destruct, but they even send such a pretty girl out to her death. Heavens!”
It was hard for some people not to have such thoughts.
But in reality, this was far from over. Two more girls suddenly flew out from a nearby nydus worm.
