Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1940 - 1080: The Flaming Sun Mobilizes, the Roach Emperor Plots! (2)

Once he had gathered every last bit of the Hundred Stars Alliance’s Heavenly Boundary and Quasi-Sky Realm warriors, the forces commanded by the Lord of Yangyang swelled to almost three hundred thousand,

including nearly forty billion Heavenly Boundary powerhouses, aside from the Hundred Stars Godslaying Army!

Determination burned in his eyes, pushing him relentlessly onward as he surged forward to confront the three primary armies of the Wolf Pack Civilization head-on.

All the troops under his leadership grasped the ferocity of their foe and the deadly clash looming just ahead.

Still, not one Exotic Beast among them displayed even a hint of backing down.

For after battling this long, they all understood that the Wolf Pack Civilization aimed for the utter destruction of the Hundred Stars Alliance; without fighting to their last breath, the alliance would fade away like mist in the wind.

Their homeworlds, fellow fighters, partners, loved ones, family ties, mates, blood relatives, tender young ones—at worst, they’d end up as eternal slaves to the Wolf Pack Civilization!

A grimmer end awaited: transformation into Dead Souls, forged onto the Celestial Wolf Wings of that horrifying Demon Wolf Lord, forever marked by rivers of blood and endless carnage!

So, they had every justification to wage war with unyielding fury.

Right then, this group of Hundred Stars Alliance elites, burning with a desperate will to survive, unleashed a savage drive born from embracing death.

Even as the Lord of Yangyang Star felt this unshakeable vigor surging through his ranks, he knew they had just barely earned the right to clash in a grand cosmic showdown against the Wolf Pack Civilization’s three core armies.

.....

While the savage conflict between the Hundred Stars Alliance and the Wolf Pack Civilization intensified once more,

deep in the southern reaches of the Sky Wolf System, the Roach Emperor’s Vassal Towns and the Black Sun Star Army pushed the void itself to the brink of collapse.

The farthest southern edge of the Sky Wolf System lay only about thirty light-years from the central hub, a span traversable in just two or three centuries at a brisk pace.

That said, the resources in this area paled in comparison to those of the Sky Wolf System, carrying the harsh chill of the Bitter Cold Land.

Even across trillions of miles of space, scarce was a single minor planet to be found.

One had to remember, not only the present Sky Wolf System but also the former Hao Ri System once boasted a Life Planet along with myriad Shattered Stars and Meteors scattered every few million miles.

The sheer scarcity of resources defied belief.

Nevertheless, this forsaken Bitter Cold Land now played host to a brutally intense and sprawling conflict.

Currently, the Roach Emperor hunkered down in a shadowy fortress on a derelict world, covertly directing the full Undying Cockroach Army Group in maneuvers against the Black Sun Star Army.

Following the devastating loss from their previous encounter, the Roach Emperor had come to fully appreciate the immense chasm separating him from the might of Black Sun Star.

Particularly in individual fighting prowess,

the Black Sun Star’s forces charged like unstoppable behemoths, their physical might so overwhelming it chilled the soul, and even at equal ranks, their Heavenly Boundary True Intent stood far denser and more enduring

They dominated without relying heavily on supporting Star Energy Weapons, outmatching several equivalent enemy units in raw power.

For the inherently fragile-in-close-quarters Undying Cockroach Army Group, this presented an insurmountable challenge.

Typically, it required ten Ancestor Levels from the Undying Cockroach Army Group to fell just one Black Sun Star soldier!

Such a tenfold gap proved tough to swallow, even for a Star Sky Insect Clan like theirs.

"Roach Emperor, the Purple Blood Cockroach King is out there overseeing the big picture based on your plans, leveraging the terrain to block the Black Sun Star Army. We’ve detonated the handful of Life Stars we had, hurling their Nuclear Sources at them, but it’s barely scratched the Black Sun Star forces—they’re still raging as strong as ever, and now they’ve overrun thirty percent of our domain!"

A scout from the Undying Cockroach Swarm informed the Roach Emperor.

Though merely a decade had passed, even the once-haughty Undying Cockroach Army Group now tasted the raw savagery of this fight.

Far too formidable!

This adversary’s legions outstripped any they’d faced till now!

In raw battle strength, they matched the elite armies of the Wolf Pack Civilization!

In unbreakable spirit, they equaled the Wolf Pack Civilization’s various forces!

In strategy, formations, and every other facet, they shone at the pinnacle!

Such a flawless army left no exploitable flaws!

Were it not for the Undying Cockroach Army Group’s foundations laid from nothing by the Roach Emperor through the Star Sky Insect Clan, with so many carrying the Mark of Sin, their resolve would have crumbled ages ago!

"Understood! Stay calm! No need to panic—we got cocky last time; from here on, our goal is to safeguard the leftover seventy percent of our lands for a full millennium. If this spot falls, so be it—shatter the Life Planets, then the Shattered Stars and Meteors, or deploy Killing Arrays and labyrinths; whatever it takes, by hook or by crook, keep them pinned down! Scatter the Undying Cockroach Army Group across their billions and steer clear of bunching up,

fan out for guerrilla hits, ambushes, pitfalls, toxins—use any trick in the book, as long as we buy time! Should our Vassal Towns slip away, I’ll be the final one to fall on this soil, for the Undying Cockroach Army Group can’t tolerate such disgrace; it’s not even been a thousand years, and we’re already ceding our Vassal Towns!"

The Roach Emperor’s Spiritual Will stirred a fierce vow of total war in the White-striped Cockroach King, who handled command relays, scouting, and monitoring, compelling him to drop any thoughts of urging the Roach Emperor to abandon the region.

Still, the core doubt lingered: could the Roach Emperor’s blueprint truly hold out for a millennium?

Above all, after the Roach Emperor’s personal duel with the Lord of Black Sun Star, his once-boastful presence had taken a shattering hit.

The Roach Emperor, in a mad surge of peak power, couldn’t endure more than a few offhand strikes from that Black Sun Emperor.

Only by deploying a Forbidden-level Foil Weapon for defense had he escaped death!

Even that Forbidden-level Foil Weapon had been weathered by the Emperor!

This hinted he might have ascended to late-stage Semi-taboo or beyond, perhaps even Late Stage!

An overlord surpassing even the Star Sand Master in dominance!

Hence, the White-striped Cockroach King worried the Roach Emperor’s psyche might crack under the strain!

Yet the White-striped Cockroach King failed to grasp that the Roach Emperor, with three lives behind her and the wild rollercoaster of the Insect Queen’s saga, wouldn’t have her iron will broken so simply—she’d cease to be who she was!

In truth, the White-striped Cockroach King overlooked a crucial detail himself.

Namely, the original near-hundred-billion Heavenly Boundary devotees, all branded with the Mark of Sin and serving as the keenest edge of the Undying Cockroach Army Group directly under the Roach Emperor, had mysteriously disappeared at some point.

As such, the Roach Emperor suffered no psychological blow; instead, she harbored a wild idea that would strike the White-striped Cockroach King and every Undying Cockroach Army Group general and War King as utter madness.

Beyond merely delaying the Black Sun Star Army for a millennium, she aimed to try capturing this Sin Star Emperor!

For the shame and scars inflicted on the Roach Emperor and the Undying Cockroach Army Group, she refused to let other Wolf Pack Civilization clans avenge on her behalf!

She yearned to avenge them with her own hands!

....

Positioned in front of Meng Hu, Su Lin eyed his pale, lifeless form as if beholding a lifeless husk, utterly void of any emotional stir.

A heavy veil of peril swiftly cloaked the Invincible Fierce Tiger’s entire frame, making the barely breathing Meng Hu gasp in dread, like a helpless fish splayed on the block awaiting the White Wolf’s cleaver; this dread almost crushed Meng Hu’s fighting spirit, since the Invincible Fierce Tiger couldn’t fathom why the White Wolf spared his life instead of ending it outright, opting to expend effort hauling him from the icy depths to the Land of Adventure—this uncertainty flooded Meng Hu’s core with terror, yet in his drained state, he held zero power to fight back, and even in frenzy, within the White Wolf’s domain in the Land of Adventure, resistance proved pointless.

Su Lin assessed Meng Hu with the detached scrutiny of a supreme ruler appraising a captured thrall, his stare cold and impartial.

"Owooo—" Su Lin let out a soft howl to the nearby Wolf Clan, signaling them to drag the fading Siberia Tiger off and guard him vigilantly.
