The Braintipede's true form was a giant centipede the size of a dragon. It had a blood-red shell and sharp poisonous spikes all over its back.
It was called a Braintipede because the eggs of this monster needed to hatch in the brain matter of other creatures. Once they hatched, they would quickly consume the host's brain tissue, obtaining the host's memories and survival experience at the same time.
After reaching adulthood, the Braintipede could release tiny centipede clones that burrowed into the brains of other creatures and turned them into its puppets.
The Braintipede's path of growth was quite bumpy. It was almost a miracle that it managed to cultivate to heavenly god-level.
Tens of thousands of years of difficult growth had also shaped its cautious personality.
After receiving news from the Queen Mother that an unknown heavenly god-level powerhouse had appeared on the battlefield, the Braintipede immediately left the battlefield where it was fighting the two human Heavenly Gods and headed straight for Heavenly Spirit Planet.
As soon as it teleported over, the Braintipede scanned the entire planet with its Divine Telekinesis. It frowned slightly.
"No God sequence-level (Heavenly God) aura?!"
The cautious Braintipede turned to look at the Bug King Yi Li and the others. "How was that Titan killed? Tell me in detail again."
Yi Li repeated what he had said to the Queen Mother. This time, it was more detailed.
After listening to it, the Braintipede looked at Tough City from afar. It thought for a moment and did not attack directly. Instead, it turned its head and gave an order to one of the Titan Bugs.
"You, go break this city's defense formation!"
This Titan Bug did not know how dangerous this trip would be. It accepted the order without any objections and strode out toward Tough City.
On the Bug Tribe's side, all the members stared at where the Titan Bug had gone. They wanted to know if that Heavenly God would attack again.
As soon as the Titan Bug was a hundred kilometers away, the alarm in Tough City started blaring.
"The Titan Bug is attacking!"
"The Titan Bug is attacking!"
"The Titan Bug is attacking!"
Lin Huang could not help but frown when he heard the message from the alarm.
If the Titan Bug was attacking again, it meant that the other four cities had already fallen. Even if they had not fallen completely, the defense of the city walls must have been broken. That was not good news.
"He only sent one Titan Bug over. Is he testing me?"
Previously, when he had sealed the Titan Bug, the Bug Tribe had retreated without hesitation because they suspected that there was a Heavenly God among the humans. Now that they dared to test the waters, Lin Huang could roughly guess where the Zerg's confidence came from.
"There's a high chance that a Heavenly God from the insectoid race has joined the fray."
"If the Insect God has really descended, the only thing we can do now is to scare him! He probably had some reservations about sending the Titan Bug ahead. As long as he can't figure out the actual situation, he won't dare to make a move easily. "
Lin Huang turned his head to look in the direction of the dimensional portal. The retreat was already in its third wave, and about half of the mid-level Virtual Gods had already been teleported away. It would probably take at least ten minutes for it to be his turn.
Hearing the alarm that the Titan Bug was attacking again, the crowd began to panic.
Fortunately, Nan Gongwei appeared in the blink of an eye and suppressed the entire place as soon as his aura was released.
"Everyone, don't panic. The more you panic, the slower the teleportation will be. Now that the defensive formation is fully activated, the Titan Bug will need at least half an hour to break through. This also means that we have at least half an hour left … "
Nangong Wei was not telling the truth.
The Bug Tribe's Heavenly God might have already arrived …
The enemy still had four Titan Bugs. If the four of them worked together to break through the formation, it would only take seven or eight minutes at most for the defensive formation to collapse …
Fortunately, his lies comforted most of the people. Even if there were a few who understood, they were smart enough to keep their mouths shut.
If they told the truth now, it would only cause more panic, and there was a high chance that Nangong Wei would kill them on the spot as a warning to the rest.
Lin Huang said nothing. He silently redeemed a Grade-2 Sealing Card. After blending into the crowd, he squeezed his fingers and crushed the card.
The next instant, a golden light flashed in the air, shooting out from Tough City at top speed. Almost instantly, it traversed the distance between them and enveloped the Titan Bug, which had just stepped within a hundred kilometers of Tough City.
The next second, the Titan Bug, whose entire body had been enveloped by the golden light, shrank rapidly. Within two or three seconds, it had completely disappeared.
The Titan Bug had disappeared again?!
The last few guards in Tough City's watchtower were dumbfounded once more when they saw this. A moment later, they came to their senses and immediately relayed the news back to the city.
When the people in the city heard the news, they could not help but cheer.
They were even beginning to believe that Tough City was secretly protected by a Heavenly God.
The line at the teleportation portals, which had been a little messy at first, was now orderly.
The Bug Tribe, on the other hand, had a completely different reaction.
Every Bug Tribe member who saw this was shocked. Many of them turned to look at the Braintipede.
Most of them calmed down when they saw the Braintipede. After all, a Heavenly God had descended on their side. A few of them, however, were wondering if their Heavenly God was a match for that unknown Heavenly God of the human race.
The Braintipede, whose divine telekinesis had been locked onto the Titan Bug, looked a little confused at first. Then, his expression turned slightly sour.
The moment the golden light enveloped the Titan Bug's body, he felt a force pushing his divine telekinesis away. After that, the Titan Bug's huge body shrank to its limit as if it had been compressed until it finally disappeared. He had seen the entire process clearly, but he could not figure out how the other party had done it.
This strange process even made him feel a little frightened.
What was even more strange was that he could not even sense any energy fluctuations coming from that power.
"It can't be a high-level Heavenly God, can it?!"
The Braintipede felt a little guilty.
However, this was just a test. He was not willing to give up just like that. After all, there were so many Bug Tribe juniors watching.
After struggling for a moment, he gave a new order.
"Send another one!"
This time, not only did the Braintipede lock his divine telekinesis on this Titan Bug, but he also secretly injected a bit of his Divine Power into it.
The Bug Tribe's second Titan Bug was mobilized, and this attracted even more attention from the Bug Tribe. Almost everyone was holding their breath, waiting to see if the opposing Heavenly God would continue to attack.
In Tough City, the alarm for the second Titan Bug attack soon rang.
Lin Huang raised his eyebrows when he heard the alarm.
"Again?! Does it know I want the Titan Bug? "
He used another ten card draws to exchange for a grade-2 Seal Card, which he silently crushed again.
Another golden ray shot out of Tough City. As soon as the golden ray left the defense formation, it pierced through space and landed on the second Titan Bug. In the blink of an eye, it had completely enveloped the Titan Bug.
Almost at the same time, the Braintipede's divine telekinesis lock and the Divine Power hidden in the Titan Bug's body were once again ejected.
After that, it was the same process as before.
The mountainous Titan Bug rapidly shrank into nothingness in the short span of two to three seconds.
The Braintipede's expression turned even more grim. He was almost certain that the person who attacked was more powerful than he was, and not just by a little.
After two tests, he still could not figure out what the other party was doing.
This made him extremely wary.
After hesitating for a moment, he quietly contacted his two heavenly god-level companions and described the situation of the test.
After listening to the Braintipede's description, the two Bug Tribe Heavenly Gods gave different responses.
"According to your description, the other party is most likely a high-level god sequence-level. Just retreat and don't provoke them anymore. You should take a detour if you encounter such a fellow. "
"I find it very strange that you can't sense any energy waves. If the other party's ability is far greater than yours, why would he hide his energy waves? I think he might be deliberately mystifying us, using some special technique to hide his energy waves to scare you away. I suggest we lure him out, and if we really can't beat him, we can just run away. "
These were two different suggestions. The Braintipede thought about it and felt that the second one made more sense.
However, he did not plan to lure the other party out to fight right away. Instead, he planned to test the waters one last time.
The Braintipede turned to look in the direction of the Titan Bugs once more.
Of the two Titan Bugs, one had its brain parasitized by the Braintipede's centipede clone, while the other had a god sequence chain injected into its body.
After making these arrangements, the Braintipede gave another order.
"This time, both of you will move out together!"
Although the two Titan Bugs were not very intelligent, they knew how dangerous it was after seeing what had happened to the two "seniors" before them. However, they could not disobey the Braintipede's order, so they could only brace themselves and go.
Very soon, an alarm sounded from inside Tough City.
"Titan Bugs are attacking! There are two of them this time! "
At this point, Lin Huang glanced in the direction of the dimensional portal. The mid-stage Virtual Gods had not finished teleporting yet.
"At first, I thought I could buy a little more time if I sent them one by one, but they sent two at once. This should be the last wave of testing. I wonder how the Bug Tribe's Heavenly God will react. "
Lin Huang knew that there were only two Titan Bugs left, but he could not be sure what the Bug Tribe's Heavenly God would do once he finished sealing them.
"If he decides to attack in the end, I'll have no choice but to use the Escape Card to escape. I just don't know where I'll be randomly teleported to …"
Lin Huang had already thought of his escape route. He was not willing to use the Escape Card because the effect of the Escape Card was to be randomly teleported. If he was teleported to the Bug Tribe's lair, he would be in big trouble.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but Lin Huang did not hesitate. He redeemed two Seal Cards right away.
Glancing at the two golden cards in his hand, he exerted some force in his fingers and crushed the cards into pieces once more.
The next instant, two beams of golden light shot out from Tough City, instantly enveloping the two Titan Bugs.
This time, the centipede clone inside the Titan Bug's body exploded instantly. Even the god sequence chains that the Braintipede had injected into the Titan Bug disintegrated without any resistance.
Far away in the Bug Tribe's base, the Braintipede was severely injured at almost the same time. He spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
The purplish-black blood that he had spat out dyed swathes of Bug Tribe members. Large swathes of Bug Tribe members who came into contact with the blood immediately turned into a puddle of pus.
The Braintipede looked up at Tough City with a horrified expression. He gave the order without hesitation.
"Retreat!"
