Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 201: No ’Second’ Intelligent Life Forms Allowed to Coexist.

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: No ’Second’ Intelligent Life Forms Allowed to Coexist.

Above the sea, countless Star Stones streaked with radiant trails, flying toward the black fog on the horizon.

Blood-stained cockroaches leisurely gnawed on headless corpses.

White bones and flesh were fed into their mandibles, the crunching sounds harmonizing with the surging waves.

As long as the fear threshold was met, the Insect Clan didn’t even need to act—Beastmen’s Star Stones were pierced and swallowed up by the black fog.

On the cruise ship, Beastmen one after another succumbed under the collaboration between the black fog and the Insect Clan.

Only the women, whose spiritual power dwindled one star at a time, were surrounded by the swarm crawling up from the seabed.

Just as a sea scorpion swung its tail and prepared to strike a woman with its venomous stinger, a sudden tornado of white light erupted around her.

"You cannot kill them," the Terminal’s voice resonated from the sky above the sea.

Under its control, a gentle, warm white light swept away the insect swarm this time.

The Insect Clan attacking the cruise ship had their bodies forcibly lifted into the air by the white light before being torn apart.

The crisp snapping sounds echoed above Cloud Island.

The Terminal’s lips still held a piece of a scorpion leg, chewing it with satisfaction.

It smacked its lips and sighed contentedly, "Tastes good, I quite like it."

The surviving women on the cruise ship gripped their weapons tightly, cautiously scanning the deceptively calm surface of the sea.

They hadn’t yet figured out what power had swept away the suddenly hatched Insect Clan.

Nor did they have time to grieve over the deaths of their Beast Husbands.

Years of apocalyptic task experience led them to stand back-to-back, relying on each other to watch their surroundings.

The awakening of second superpowers had also given them stronger means to protect themselves.

"The Star Map can show information—check if there’s any family left alive," one woman quietly suggested.

Soon, suppressed sobs rose from the crowd: "They... they all died in the black fog."

Though the sudden hatching of the Insect Clan hadn’t caused significant casualties among them,

it was the abruptly appearing black fog that truly claimed the lives of their Beast Husbands.

Among the thirty-one remaining survivors, once they tallied their numbers,

not a single Beast Husband was left alive.

This operation to transport insect eggs had allocated forty families to each cruise ship.

With trembling bravery, they searched the ship, finally discovering only one lone surviving woman.

Forty families, with at least six members each.

In just an instant, only thirty-two women remained alive.

The bodies of Beastmen had been devoured entirely by the Insect Clan.

[Apologies, survivors]

A familiar voice echoed above the cruise ship.

The Terminal’s apologetic tone cut through the air: [The Insect Clan descended earlier than expected—Survivors on Mist Continent were too scattered. I’ve done everything in my power to protect you all.]

Terminal: [My beloved people, I arrived too late.]

Terminal: [The Mist Continent is no longer safe after the Insect Clan’s arrival.]

Terminal: [The cruise ship will escort you to Cloud Island for refuge. Cloud Island will become the last stronghold for the Mist Continent. Together, we will brave this ordeal.]

Upon hearing the Terminal’s voice, hope surged in the women’s hearts.

They were even elated to realize that the white light which swept away the Insect Clan belonged to the Terminal’s power.

Under the escort of white light, the cruise ship steered northward toward Northern Cloud Island.

A tentacle as thick as a wrist dangled from above, swaying outside a first-floor window.

Xiao Jinsheng’s superpower remained activated, allowing her to hear clearly the metallic scythe-like noises scraping outside the window, alongside the sound of walls being dug into.

"It’s moving fast," Caicai remained calm even as it faced the Insect Clan. "Based on the tentacle, it’s an interstellar cockroach."

"Cockroach?" Xiao Jinsheng’s expression changed. "Little bug? Roach?"

Caicai paused in confusion.

It reviewed the information on intergalactic species, nodded in confirmation. "Yes, it’s a cockroach—but worse than what you’re familiar with."

"What kind of cockroach has tentacles this big? These antennae are three meters long!" Xiao Jinsheng exclaimed, horrified.

The walls of the small villa were soon breached under the cockroach’s gnawing, creating a hole with a diameter of fifty centimeters.

Through the hole, Xiao Jinsheng caught sight of a glistening, slick brown-black carapace passing by outside, followed by the multi-faceted eyes of the cockroach peering in.

This cockroach was unlike any Xiao Jinsheng had known.

The interstellar cockroach’s eyes glowed red.

A deafening "boom!"

The cockroach kicked through the glass, its tentacles flexibly probing into the room.

This was a seven-star cockroach—manageable for the eleven-star group to deal with currently.

Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t hold back any longer, sending a Wind Blade slicing toward the tentacle.

Su Ye drew his blade, his form disappearing in an instant.

When he reappeared, his blade struck the cockroach from midair.

"Don’t kill it—" Caicai shouted urgently.

But its voice was too slow to stop Su Ye’s strike.

The cockroach had already been sliced in half by the blade.

White larvae erupted along with pale yellow viscous fluids, bursting out from the cockroach’s body.

Su Ye quickly retreated, pulling back his blade.

What he saw were countless thumb-length white larvae with soft shells, swarming in every direction.

"These giant cockroaches are carriers for larvae invasion."

"Don’t kill them directly—burn them with fire or freeze them to death," Caicai shouted anxiously.

Xiao Jinsheng and Li released flames, spreading them across the floor and burning the larvae.

The continuous pops and crackles erupted within the flames, accompanied by a nauseating stench wafting from the black smoke.

Once the fire died out, the entire living room was littered with the charred remnants of larvae corpses.

The stench was overwhelming, making the house uninhabitable.

The Cannibal Flower rushed forward, sweeping up charred corpses with its large green leaves and stuffing them into its mouth.

"Stop!" Xiao Jinsheng felt her stomach churn with nausea.

But the Cannibal Flower had already swallowed the corpses with practiced ease, shaking its leaves at Xiao Jinsheng.

"Can it even eat that?" Xiao Jinsheng grimaced.

"It can eat them—you can’t," Caicai replied.

"Eating those is no different from eating excrement, is it?" Yu Yunxiao pinched his nose and pulled Xiao Jinsheng toward the door. "This house is useless now."

Thankfully, they had prepared in advance.

Most of the small villa’s furniture had already been moved to the villa in the Realm.

The Insect Clan’s invasion left nothing but wreckage in this world.

Since there was the Realm, it was naturally safer than staying in the Mist East villa.

Xiao Jinsheng lived in a sparsely populated area.

It was just her and Peng Qin’s two households.

As a result, under the surveillance of the Intelligent Worms, fewer insect attacks targeted this area.

The bulk of the Insect Clan prioritized regions with a denser human population to attack.

Within the interstellar world, years of combat between the Insect Clan and humans had taught them one truth:

To claim complete control of a world, one must eradicate its most intelligent life forms.

Only then would the universe’s myriad dominions be fully dominated by the Insect Clan.

This universe did not allow a ’second’ intelligent species to coexist.

Unless—through assimilation...

Insect Brain: [Our clan has arrived. I wouldn’t mind having an honest conversation with you.]

The Insect Brain’s seductive voice echoed in Bai Yan’s mind.

Insect Brain: [Your superpower is unique; you were born to belong to our clan.]

Insect Brain: [I’m here to extend a sincere invitation for you to join us.]

Insect Brain: [Of course, you can choose to refuse.]

Insect Brain: [But you should first understand one thing: the Insect Clan hasn’t attacked you yet because of my presence.]

Bai Yan’s terrified gaze swept around.

The area she moved into, together with ten households residing there, had naturally formed a small community.

The once warm and cozy neighborhood now lay riddled with gaping wounds.
