Chapter 3247: Trump CardEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Fang Heng, it wasn’t as simple as you thought. The spawns still had their trump card."
Elder Ambrose saw Fang Heng’s refusal and tried to persuade him again. "Once the trump card is revealed, the mutant worms will never be your match. Once the frontal war ends, the spawns will direct all their focus on you..."
"Trump card?"
"Sorry, Fang Heng. The Noel Clan has its concerns. Some things cannot be disclosed, but I suggest you leave. Please consider this carefully."
Elder Ambrose made one last attempt to persuade him, sighing silently. Not only Fang Heng, but even the Noel Clan could not contend with certain forces in this world.
Ambrose signaled his assistant and placed two more sacks filled with cocoons on the ground, saying, "Fang Heng, this is the last batch of cocoons for the trade. The space passage will close tonight. The Noel Clan will withdraw from here. If you change your mind, contact us as soon as possible."
"Alright, thank you."
The final transaction concluded, marking the end of cooperation with the Noel Clan.
So the next step...
Fang Heng watched the elder and his group leave, then stepped forward, plunging his hand into a sack filled with Ouroboros cocoons, muttering to himself.
The Noel Clan was clearly urging him to leave.
What exactly were they afraid of?
The spawns’ so-called trump card?
"Chi!"
A rift cracked open in Fang Heng’s palm, and he began devouring the cocoons frantically.
[Hint: The player devoured Seed of Ouroboros cocoons*632.]
[Hint: The player reached Level 56 in Ouroboros and gained 2 additional mutation options.]
Fang Heng raised his head again, looking at the dark clouds above.
As his skill level increased, his perception of the Seed of Ouroboros Beetle King grew sharper. The Beetle King was already on its way.
This place was not suitable as a battlefield.
He needed to divert the threat elsewhere.
The spawns’ headquarters?
Hmm?
Thinking carefully, Fang Heng suddenly realized that the location of the spawns’ main base had seemingly never been revealed.
No matter.
Besides the Noel Clan, he had another ally.
Fang Heng thought for a moment and retrieved a vortex-shaped jade from his wrist.
...
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Three hours later, two dark vortexes condensed behind him.
"Fang Heng, we’ve been trying to contact you."
Wu Yi and three members of the Evil Clan stepped out from the vortex passages one by one.
Upon learning that Fang Heng had reached out, Wu Yi had rushed over immediately.
Seeing the planet already occupied by mutant worms, everyone frowned slightly.
"We suspected it might be you when black fog appeared in this sector, but we didn’t expect it to reach this point."
Wu Yi thought to herself that Fang Heng’s nature was indeed as expected; even while hiding to recover, he could not stay idle.
She had not expected that Fang Heng could even cooperate with the Noel Clan.
Through satellite reconnaissance, the Evil Clan had only recently realized that most of the contested star domain was already shrouded in thick black fog.
The spawns were currently overextended and distracted by the God Clan relic incident, unable to intervene against Fang Heng.
However, in Wu Yi’s view, occupying the star domain was not an ideal choice.
Once the spawns eliminated the Seed of Ouroboros, they would inevitably return, and Fang Heng would again become a thorn in their eyes.
"I want to know the spawns’ intelligence," Fang Heng said.
"Mm. The Evil Clan fully participated in the pursuit of the Seed of Ouroboros Beetle King. Combining this with our intelligence system, simply put, we believe the Beetle King forced an attack on the spawns’ main sector, successfully seized the God’s relic, and by some kind of devouring method, absorbed the power within the relic, entering cocoon evolution to prepare for advancement."
"Afterward, the spawns persuaded the Seven Realms Martial Capital to jointly chase the Beetle King in its cocoon state. Over more than half a month, they gradually cornered it."
"The Beetle King had no choice but to prematurely exit its cocoon and enter its complete form."
"Although the Beetle King had not fully advanced, its strength exceeded our prediction. It used a large-area attack to destroy the Seven Realms Martial Capital’s combined forces and hundreds of high-tier warships."
"We assessed that after this move, the Beetle King would fall into a backlash state for some time. We expected it to retreat, but it continued to pursue the Seven Realms Martial Capital."
"Recent reports indicate that it destroyed every planet along its path. It seems very angry."
Wu Yi shook her head slightly. "That’s the intelligence related to the spawns and the Seed of Ouroboros Beetle King. Another point worth noting: the spawns were severely weakened in this battle, and with the Beetle King’s terrifying strength, the spawns advocated praying for the God Clan to descend and help eliminate the Beetle King completely."
Hearing this, Fang Heng suddenly understood. He lowered his head and muttered softly, "The God Clan..."
All his previous doubts were answered by Wu Yi’s explanation.
So that’s it!
The Beetle King had chosen to fuse with the God Clan.
No wonder it had not left but had pursued him directly.
Apart from internal struggles within the Seed of Ouroboros, the crucial factor was the Eye of God!
He had already fused with the Eye of God from the God’s relic in advance.
The Beetle King could never achieve optimal fusion without the Eye of God!
Now the actions of the Noel Clan made sense.
It turned out that what really frightened the Noel Clan was the God Clan.
It was unexpected that the spawns’ hidden card was just calling for reinforcements.
Fang Heng, however, was curious—if the God Clan discovered the spawns were researching their relics, would they still help the spawns?
He thought maliciously and asked, "Will the God Clan appear?"
"Uncertain. Too much time had passed since the last summoning prayer for the God Clan, and we cannot be sure if it will succeed."
If the God Clan descended successfully, the situation would likely change drastically.
Fang Heng’s heart sank with a bad premonition.
If the spawns summoned the God Clan to act, what if they were used against him?
Others might not see through the Eye of God, but the God Clan likely could. Once the God Clan discovered his Eye of God, there would be no way to clear his name.
No choice. He had never been clean.
Fang Heng’s mind raced in countless directions.
Wu Yi shared the same concern and nodded. "The descent ritual will start soon. The spawns have always had a close relationship with the God Clan and are trusted by them. If they succeed in summoning, they will likely use the God Clan to eliminate both the Beetle King and your vampires."
Pray! Descent!
Indeed, this maneuver of the God Clan was very similar to the Holy Court’s descent.
Fang Heng felt he had grasped a clue. Squinting, he looked up and asked, "What’s the success rate?"
