Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2003 - 1114: A Millennium Flashes By, Wolf Pack Civilization Arrives!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
The vast cosmos stretches endlessly, and even as the Wolf Pack Civilization surges forward at top velocity, journeying across the starry expanse to Bright Sun Star demands more than a millennium.
This spot remains over three hundred light-years distant from the Wolf Pack Civilization's position!
At present, Exotic Beasts cram full the star energy battleships and Star Sky Mother Ships belonging to the Wolf Pack Civilization!
The Nine-layered Emperor Pagoda, expanded to its utmost dimensions, accommodates merely tens of billions of elite warriors,
Right now, just the Undying Cockroach Army Group alongside the Star Sky Insect Nest, Radiant Sun Fire, and a handful of potent Wolf Pack Civilization armies spearhead the assault.
Numerous military formations of the Wolf Pack Civilization fail to keep pace with their velocity.
Consequently, Su Lin commanded the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King and the entire Ghost-faced Bat Clan to anchor the second echelon.
Backed by a late-stage half-step taboo powerhouse and the core troops inherited from the Star Nebula Great Clan, any foe eyeing to fracture and devour the Wolf Pack Civilization must weigh if their fangs can bite through!
And while the Wolf Pack Civilization hurtles onward without respite,
A mirror image projection stealthily materialized near the Wolf Pack Civilization, this projection seemingly detached from this dimension, radiating boundless illusory essence.
It lacks any defined form, akin to a simple shadow.
Amid the pitch-black starry void, such a shadow proves nearly imperceptible.
"The Ghost-faced Bat Clan, which nearly ascended to the ranks of a mighty Star Nebula Great Clan, actually lurks here; regrettably, only the lone Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King endures, bereft of the prior three kings."
This shadowy figure constitutes a mirror image, reminiscent of the erstwhile Blazing Flame Leader.
Unlike the Blazing Flame Leader, who even as a mere mirror image leveraged the Fate Altar to dominate billions of clans,
This shadowy figure bears no trace of the Fate Altar's presence!
Nevertheless, the mirror image exudes an irrefutable, paramount aura.
Upon the mirror image's brow gleams a faint yet identifiable soul mark!
"Four!"
This marks the Black Fourth Heavenly Lord!
Yet, after observing briefly, the Black Fourth Heavenly Lord shook his head and melted back into the void.
Trailing him looms a gigantic Black Lotus, bearing tens of billions of troops all infused with Heavenly Boundary aura.
But once the Black Fourth Heavenly Lord vanished, the Black Lotus promptly dissolved as well.
For the Black Sun Heavenly Lord recognizes that a single mirror image coupled with a hundred billion Heavenly Boundary troops cannot stealthily engulf the Wolf Pack Civilization's hundreds of billions of warriors!
They arrived solely to scout for a chance to eliminate the Wolf Lord and verify the legitimacy of the Wolf Pack Civilization's four million-plus forces!
Yet at this juncture, no such opening presents itself!
Still, the Black Fourth Heavenly Lord has glimpsed the rough truth behind those four million-plus forces.
Beyond the Wolf Pack Civilization's core hundred billion troops, the remainder consist of loosely assembled contingents lacking true loyalty.
So why bother marching north with such ragtag armies?
It's merely to rack up more glorious feats and victories for the Black Sun Clan within the Wangshu Zone!
This campaign deploys not just the nearly twenty billion combat-ready troops under Hei Si and Hei Wu, but also long-embedded agents among them.
These agents, as the Red Sun Emperor shed his former resolve, have seized substantial influence.
Now, excluding the Red Sun Empire's battle-hardened veterans clashing desperately with the Wolf Pack Civilization's vanguard, all other Red Sun Empire units have defected.
Devoid of that forged-in-blood allegiance, the Black Sun Clan's offers vastly outstrip those from the Red Sun Emperor!
Even upon fully subduing the Wangshu Zone, forces will be essential for control and order.
Though the Black Sun Clan's Nine Veins boast immense might and unmatched combat prowess, they suffer from insufficient reserves.
Furthermore, due to their peculiar origins and vital traits, Black Sun Clan members propagate not via traditional mating, but through asexual fission to spawn new kin.
Alas, this fission process hampers their condition and expansion rate.
Thus, the Black Sun Clan's population struggles to swell dramatically.
Besides the elite Upper Three Veins, the remaining six veins command only tens of billions of troops each.
Upon conquering the Wangshu Zone, local Exotic Beasts must inevitably serve as vassals for governance!
This vassal role was originally earmarked for the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Since the Wolf Pack Civilization dares challenge the Black Sun Clan, let them clash head-on!
The Black Sun Clan has reigned supreme over the Blazing Nebula across dozens of eras, fearing no rivals!
Should they falter in the struggle, the Wolf Pack Civilization won't even merit serving as the Black Sun Clan's hounds!
....
As the Wolf Pack Civilization barrels northward with haste, time races onward.
A full millennium slips by in the blink of an eye.
Over these thousand years, the Bright Sun Star Core has shed eight defensive layers, retaining just the final barrier.
Moreover, the Sun Empress's Dragon Rider Army stands utterly eradicated.
That legendary powerhouse army, which once awed the entire Wangshu Zone and shielded Bright Sun Star through endless eras, has perished!
The Bright Day System clings to a scant twenty billion active troops and fifty billion reserves!
Plummeting from hundreds of billions to mere tens of billions through savage warfare, words fail to capture the horror.
Yet they've managed to drive a taboo titan like the Red Sun Emperor to utter madness.
He rages nearly insane, spurring Red Sun Empire armies into futile frenzies, yielding zero gains on the battlefield.
