Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1950 - 1085: Three Taboo Paths, Roach Emperor’s Desperate Battle! (Part 2)

Driven by a mixture of indignation and anxiety, Qing Ming not only transmitted the entirety of the Wolf Pack Civilization’s intelligence to the Squad Leader on the Star Core, but she also took it upon herself to forward detailed reports regarding that civilization—specifically highlighting the overwhelming combat prowess displayed by the Wolf Lord during the Battle of the Sea of Star Sand—to the High Priest of the Black Sun Constant Star.

While the exact strength of that High Priest remains a mystery to most in the Wangshu Zone, the being known as "Unspeakable" is well aware.

He is an individual who pursued the same path as Blazing Flame Ink but faltered in his attempt to prove the taboo.

He views himself as a truly pitiable wretch.

Yet, even as such a tragic figure, he nearly achieved a legendary double taboo verification alongside Blazing Flame Ink.

Consequently, Qing Ming was eager to witness how this enigmatic Wolf Lord and the Wolf Pack Civilization would endure against the calculated, subconscious strategies of the Black Sun Stellar Army.

If other factions were to uncover Qing Ming’s maneuvers, they would likely find them utterly incomprehensible.

However, only those who have personally observed the trajectory of the Wolf Lord’s growth can fathom why Qing Ming is gripped by such unease and dread.

In her assessment, the threat posed by the Wolf Pack Civilization eclipses even that of the Bright Day System.

After all, the Bright Day System derives its power from a profound foundation cultivated over countless Eras.

In contrast, the Wolf Pack Civilization possesses an irrational, terrifying degree of strength.

It ascended from a mere minor planet, carving a bloody path to its current standing in a mere span of tens of thousands of years.

Even after exhaustive analysis, Qing Ming admits that no other force could have replicated such a feat.

So, what defines a variable?

This is exactly it.

The Wolf Pack Civilization is that very variable.

No one dares to gamble on what its future holds.

Ultimately, however, Qing Ming acts because she refuses to allow the Wolf Pack Civilization to effortlessly seize the monumental fortune that was meant for her—a prize she sacrificed so much to secure.

Only by crushing the Wolf Pack Civilization can she hope to preserve her own gain.

She has little time to ponder whether their defeat will complicate the broader schemes of the Squad Leader or "Unspeakable."

Yet, she understands clearly: if the Wolf Pack Civilization prevails, she will not only lose her fortune but is destined for a ruinous end.

...

Just as the Hundred Stars Alliance crumbled, leading to the collapse of the entire Wangshu Zone, the southern Star Sky belonging to the Wolf Pack Civilization had also suffered an eighty percent loss.

The earth was soaked in blood as far as the eye could see.

The war raging in the southern Star Sky served as the perfect embodiment of this tragedy.

The sky there was choked with corpses, littering the expanse of the void.

While the majority of the fallen belonged to the Undying Cockroach Army Group, the casualties from the Black Sun Stellar System were equally staggering.

At the heart of the fray, the Black Sun Star Lord was severely wounded.

A portion of his skull had been torn from his forehead, exposing churning brain matter, while his chest was riddled with wounds from deep blade strikes.

These injuries radiated an intense, "Arrogant" aura and a malevolent True Intent designed to corrode everything it touched.

This energy had been harvested from the Sinners Army after their destruction at the thirty-sixth checkpoint in the Sea of Star Sand.

Although the Illusion God had dissolved the Sin Extinction Array before its activation, some of that sinful True Intent had bled into the Formation Diagram and been intercepted by the Roach Emperor.

"Haha, glorious! Truly glorious! To be wounded at my very origin by a mere cockroach—it seems I have severely underestimated these Wangshu heroes trapped in the deep south!"

From deep within the military formation, the Black Sun Star Lord projected his fury and perverse amusement through his spiritual will.

For thousands of years, the Black Sun Stellar System had been on the precipice of total conquest in the southern Star Sky of the Sky Wolf System.

Yet, a notoriously fragile Star Sky Insect Clan, which had not even achieved a military power level of a hundred billion, had just taught him a harrowing lesson.

They had almost devoured him whole.

It was utterly fantastical and beyond belief.

Despite the prolonged war, the Black Sun Star Lord remained baffled by how this Insect Clan, usually governed by simple natural instinct and genetic programming, had fought him so ferociously.

This strain of Star Sky Insect Clan was vastly different from any he had encountered before.

They operated under unified, inflexible command and had even constructed massive Super Fortune Arrays comprising hundreds of billions of units.

Moreover, this Undying Cockroach Army Group was fearless, employing every dirty, unconventional tactic imaginable.

Through a combination of disguise, assassination, traps, and suicidal charges, they expertly utilized guerrilla warfare to hit when the enemy retreated and harass when the enemy advanced.

The Black Sun Stellar Army felt as if they were battling not insects, but a disciplined band of interstellar bandits.

The experience was an eye-opening nightmare for them.

Further infuriating them was a grand, decisive battle recently orchestrated by the insects—which turned out to be a cleverly concealed ambush targeting the Black Sun Star Lord himself.

During that struggle, the Insect Queen of the Undying Cockroach Army Group reappeared, empowered by absorbed sinful energy, reaching half-step taboo prowess.

The fatal blow, however, came when nearly a hundred billion strong Heavenly Boundary troops suddenly emerged to hunt the Star Lord while his own army was pinned down.

Even a combatant as powerful as the Black Sun Star Lord, capable of shaking a Stellar Dome, could not break free from such an overwhelming siege.

Nearly a hundred billion Heavenly Boundary troops are sufficient to overwhelm even a quasi-taboo entity.

Even a taboo being standing upon a Fate Altar must weigh the risks of Sinful Karma Fire and the judgment of the Starry Sky Will before attempting to wipe out such a massive force, lest their own Altar fail to hold fast.

Thus, the Black Sun Star Lord sustained grave injuries. Had the High Priest and his retinue of hidden guards not intervened, he might well have met his end in the mud.

Upon learning from the High Priest that the Wolf Lord was approaching, the Black Sun Star Lord abandoned his rush to advance. His new goal: the complete annihilation of this Insect Clan and their Queen.

If the Wolf Lord desired a battle to save these vermin, then so be it—a fight here would do just fine.

The Black Sun Stellar System had always intended to confront the Wolf Pack Civilization as they pushed beyond the extreme south.

Furthermore, the humiliation of the siege against the Star Lord could only be cleansed with the blood of the Insect Queen.

...

Su Lin gazed with satisfaction at the swift, disciplined movements of the wolf pack before him. This contingent represented the most capable force under his command, serving as his reliable support for the grueling battles ahead. A leader is only as strong as his pack; by fostering their excellence, he could face any foe without trepidation. After all, wolves are social creatures, and he possessed no desire to be a lone wanderer.

Su Lin opened his jaws and unleashed a resonant howl toward the distant north, signaling to the wolf clan to abandon the ice and return to the Land of Adventure, while cautioning them to keep their spoils hidden from any opportunistic hunters.

The wolves responded with high-pitched cries before sprinting down the path they had traveled, straining their muscles to prove their speed and vitality to the Wolf King.

Watching his spirited pack, Su Lin grew even more resolute in his ambition to dominate the Arctic. In this Ice Age, where evolution and struggle defined existence, growth was the only law of survival. To fail was to be consumed, and that was a fate Su Lin would never accept.

He observed the two Beta Wolves trailing the Little Lone Wolf as they lugged the remains of the Invincible Fierce Tiger. Noting their sluggish pace, he understood this was a trial set by the Little Lone Wolf to test their mettle; as leaders, they required the strength and charisma to stand independently. Thus, Su Lin maintained his silence.

The Little Lone Wolf advanced toward Su Lin and offered a low howl, and Su Lin immediately grasped its meaning.
