The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1254 - 430: Reverse Ambush

"Oh? Then perhaps you might have misunderstood us a little.

I never said we only had one high-tier combat power..."

"Hmm? What?"

The Seventh Rank powerhouse was taken aback, a sense of unease flashing through his mind.

But before he could react, he saw Bet smirk, and not far from her, the only Fifth Tier bishop who hadn’t left immediately activated the power of the Abnormal Object in his hand.

His body began to swell with the readings of Magic Power, a pair of rocky horns emerged on his head, and his cracked skin started to flow with scorching magma.

This was a core Transcendent ability from the Demon Insect Race’s Abnormal Object system, Demonization!

At that moment, the Fifth Tier bishop temporarily attained the combat power of a Seventh Rank demon through Demonization!

Though the duration was limited, it was already enough!

His gaze locked onto the Seventh Rank powerhouse on the ground, and the battle was about to erupt.

..........

Beyond the night

Watching their leader being devoured by the power of the Red Moon Cultists, the hunting squad was eager to help, but facing the black barrier that reached the Seventh Rank level, they had no choice but to give up.

Moreover, they had all been injured to varying degrees in the gray mist explosion from Bet earlier; even if they could take action, their combat power would be diminished.

"Captain, what should we do?

Should we continue hunting those ordinary believers?"

A team member limped over to the captain and asked, but the latter just shook his head.

"With this black barrier blocking us, those Red Moon believers have probably already fled.

Even if we find them, in our current state, we don’t know how much combat power we can actually exert, we might even be worse than some 4th Rank. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Meanwhile, those believers are still in full condition.

And given the commotion we caused, perhaps some local Transcendent has already taken notice of us, and we won’t be able to handle it then.

Let’s directly retreat to the starship; that person doesn’t need us to worry about."

This situation had clearly gone beyond the original plan.

Initially, he couldn’t imagine how those teams got overpowered, but it wasn’t until he almost couldn’t return himself that he finally understood the means of those Red Moon Cultists.

From the Seventh Rank strength displayed at the end to every precise countermeasure...

He even doubted whether the Seventh Rank powerhouse would make it out alive.

If his worst assumption came true, someone had to survive to bring back this crucial intelligence!

He didn’t share these thoughts with his teammates but instead acted directly.

After hastily clearing up the remnants of the battle with the other team members, they quickly moved in one direction.

In their rush, none of them realized they had brought back some items that went unnoticed.

With fear and concern from earlier lingering in their hearts, the team quickly located a hidden teleportation array, activated it immediately, and arrived near another starport on the planet.

No specific news about the turmoil occurring on the other side of the planet had reached them, and their passage was unobstructed.

They boarded their spacecraft smoothly and left the planet completely.

Orbiting above the site of their previous battle, they observed through the spacecraft’s device that the black spherical barrier was already gone.

A bit heavily, the Mechanical Master at the back of the spaceship said:

"Captain, that person’s signal...

...disappeared."

"Alright, let’s head back to headquarters first and bring all the intelligence from this mission..."

The captain took a deep breath, stayed calm, and issued the order.

Even though this news made the atmosphere in the spaceship heavy again, the Mechanical Master faithfully executed the command, bringing the spaceship into warp mode, leaving the planet far behind.

Once the normal starry sky outside the spaceship window disappeared due to the warp, everyone’s tension finally eased, and the fatigue and injuries suppressed by the tension all at once poured out.

It would take several days to return to headquarters, and with nothing to worry about in terms of safety during the spaceship’s warp mode, the team members all returned to their rooms to rest and recover.

Even the Mechanical Master, after setting up the spaceship, left a few mechanical units before leaving the control room.

The injuries they suffered this time were indeed severe. During the final explosion, the invading gray Magic Power still eroded their bodies, putting them in poor condition.

Once they all left, entering their respective states of cultivation and losing outside perception, the few unmanned machines left in the control room suddenly quivered.

Streams of data flashed across their eyes, and moments later, a hint of life seemed to appear in their gaze.

They exchanged glances before focusing their attention on the computer in the control room.

Suddenly, one machine trembled as if something invisible detached from it and raced toward the main computer, merging with it.

They were the Undead that had been hiding on the Mechanical Master’s machinery since Bet released them earlier!

From the very beginning, after Bet released them, they had been waiting for an opportunity. It wasn’t until the battle when the Mechanical Masters abandoned the remote control and went into melee combat that they seized the chance to latch onto the remaining machines.

Ultimately, they smoothly infiltrated this spacecraft.
