Chapter 354 The Golden Scorpion
The scorpion suffered its first true wound.
Only then did the insectoid hidden in deep space finally reveal part of itself to everyone.
Colorless.
Transparent.
No…
There were faint golden patterns running through it.
Finished
And just as Julian had warned, the scorpion truly had stretched out its claw, intending to strike Ruin’s foreleg the same way it had shattered Silent Night’s.
Under Julian’s command, Ruin turned its head at exactly the right instant.
Its jaws closed over the joint between the scorpion’s claw and forelimb.
It looked almost as if the scorpion had willingly delivered the claw into the wolf’s mouth.
Ruin showed no mercy.
It bit down with all its strength, nearly forcing the scorpion’s entire body into view.
The scorpion flew into a rage. Its huge tail hook swung out at once, ready to lash Ruin, bind it, drain it dry, and grind it to pieces.
In the scorpion’s mind, the wolf was already finished.
Unfortunately for the scorpion…
“Ruin, left, right, left. Back up. Swipe. Again. Charge forward. Now hit its forehead!”
“Awoo!”
Ruin followed Julian’s instructions and bounced left and right with great enthusiasm.
Not only did the wolf feel no pressure, it even found an opening and raked one claw across the scorpion’s forehead.
Scorpion: “…”
Atlas
All the old generals:
That worked?
That actually worked?

Chapter 354 The Golden Scorpion
On what grounds?
Sure enough, feeling sorry for Orion meant bad luck for life.
You thought he was driving a rugged little jeep.
In reality, he had been hiding an aircraft carrier behind your back.
Finished
While Atlas and Silent Night began questioning life. the scorpion, whose forehead now carried fresh cracks finally lost control of its anger.
It seemed to realize that invisibility no longer meant anything.
So it stopped wasting effort hiding.
Little by little, like some colossal thing emerging from deep space, it appeared before every human eye.
It did not have a traditional shell.
Its body seemed made from semi-transparent Golden Tarric crystal in a molten state.
A distorted halo steamed constantly from its surface, making it look solid one second and blurred the next.
Three pairs of crystalline wing bones grew from its back.
Embedded in its chest was a pale-gold sphere of Tarric energy, glowing like a brilliant golden star that had been fully tamed.
“A royal Golden Tarric Scorpion variant…”
Atlas drew in a slow breath.
As expected.
Just as he had guessed.
This was a brand-new 3S royal-class insectoid.
And it was stranger, stronger, and more dangerous than the other royal-class insectoids.
At least for now, it might be the strongest enemy humanity had ever faced besides the insectoid queen herself.
In other words…
even the queen’s direct attacks might not be as strong as this thing’s.
Orion. Lucian Ashford, and the old Fifth Legion general Andrew had all proved through real battles that the queen’s own attack and defense were not necessarily above every royal-class insectoid.
The queen’s true terror lay in being the mother insect.
She gave the insectoid race its vast population, excessive intelligence, and terrifying attribute boosts.
A clear eagle cry pierced deep space.
The aurora eagle dove from above at a thousand times the speed of sound.
Blazing white flame wrapped around the giant bird.
Space twisted.
The darkness lit like daylight.
The eagle struck the sky and soared through the highest heavens.
From the end of the blue sky to the depths below…
all to send the Calamity Ant Queen to hell, never to meet again in this life.
“Roar!”
Save me.
Save me.
Save me.
Bloody roars crashed through the hive mind.
The Calamity Ant Queen was desperately calling for the scorpion closest to her, begging for survival.
The giant scorpion roared back.
It was not that it refused to break through Ruin’s blockade.
But after Ruin came the newly healed Silent Night, pouncing at it again.
The scorpion was not incapable of winning.
It simply could not secure victory within these few seconds.
The Calamity Ant Queen struggled in despair.
Dragonlord had only three heads left.
Still, it fought to the death.
Three heads became one.
Sull, it bit down and refused to let go.
