Lin Huang frowned as he watched the Abyssal creatures that were contaminating the various areas like a tidal wave.

The tens of thousands of dominator-level rank-9 monsters Shub bred did not encounter any effective resistance in most of the areas they were teleported to.

These Abyssal monsters devoured all of the lives around them easily and then converted these lives into their own offspring.

The converted offspring also greatly increased the rate of contamination.

Those they attacked and killed would be contaminated by Abyssal energy. Their prey would then be transformed into Abyssal monsters at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Each of Shub’s offspring were massive sources of contamination.

The number of Abyssal monsters skyrocketed wherever they passed by.

Dragon Island, Snow Domain, and the other top organizations with dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses all participated in the battle enthusiastically.

Even with Bai and the others fighting alongside them, the situation grew tenuous thanks to the ever-increasing number of invaders.

Lin Huang observed the situation for three days.

Bai and others failed to contain the round of invasion after all.

Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only get the Bug Tribe under his command to participate in the battle.

The Bug Emperors joined the imperial monsters’ team as well. They began to create clones to participate in the war.

Shasha and the other Queen Mothers made thousands of dominator-level rank-9 bug beasts using the various resources they obtained earlier in an effort to resolve the situation.

It was only then that the crisis Shub’s offspring brought about was finally averted.

However, Shub soon noticed that something had gone wrong. She projected the scenes from before her offspring died.

“The Bug Tribe?!” Nyarlathotep was a little confused. “Why are they here?”

“They must’ve come to an agreement with the other tribes.” Yogg stared fixedly at the dominator-level rank-9 Bug Emperors that the Queen Mothers had modified. “These Bug Tribe monsters that joined the battle have clearly been modified based on Shub’s offspring.”

Nyarlathotep, who was standing to the side, only noticed this when Yogg mentioned that.

The reason being was that although Shasha and the others modified the Abyssal creatures’ carcasses to look like Bug Tribe monsters, some of their original characteristics still remained.

After looking carefully, it was easy to tell that they were originally Shub’s Black Goat’s Offsprings.

Aza, who was seated on the throne, opened His eyes once again. He merely stared at the projection for a moment and suddenly spoke into the empty void, “Explain this to me, Bug Tribe.”

A voice soon echoed across the sky in reply a moment later.

It sounded like the low hum of countless bug beasts.

“It’s a collaboration…”

Aza chuckled. “You’ve become quite gutsy now.”

He did not take the Bug Center seriously.

That guy was the epitome of cowardice hundreds of eras ago. It had managed to survive by relying on its cowardice. Aza had never thought that it would suddenly dare to go up against Him like now.

“It’s for self-protection,” Bug Center’s voice soon echoed again.

Aza scoffed. “If that’s the case, you should know the consequences.”

“You wouldn’t let go of me and my tribe even if I didn’t participate in the battle anyway,” the Bug Center replied again.

“This makes me a little curious about the reason behind your gutsy attitude.” Aza squinted his eyes. “Is it because of that First Liege?”

This time, the Bug Center did not say anything.

After a moment, Nyarlathotep asked Aza, seeing that the Bug Center had gone silent, “The Bug Tribe’s participation is greatly influencing the war this time round. Should we… use that?”

“I think we should.” Seeing that Aza said nothing, Yogg, who was standing to the side, spoke after a moment of silence.

“Use it then. Let’s see what other trump cards they have,” Aza said absent-mindedly while supporting His chin with one hand.

He seemed to not care about the proceedings.

“Let’s give them a taste of that!” A grin appeared on Nyarlathotep’s face.

A moment later, Yogg opened a dimensional gate and pulled out a gigantic egg from it.

It looked similar to the Black Goat’s Egg, but the tentacles on it were drooping. It was not as plump as the Black Goat’s Egg either.

Lin Huang recognized it immediately. “That’s… the Black Goat’s dead ootheca?”

While he was in doubt, Shub stretched out her black, fog-like tentacles from her body and pierced them into the dead ootheca.

After that, her rate of breeding accelerated tens of times faster.

She was able to breed 20,000 to 30,000 dominator-level rank-9 offspring initially. Now, this number had been increased to over a million.

Lin Huang also noticed that the dead ootheca was shrinking slowly.

“She’s absorbing the dead ootheca’s nutrients in order to increase the speed and number of offspring she’s making!”

It did not stop there. After Shub bred those offspring, Yogg did not send those Abyssal monsters away immediately. Instead, Nyarlathotep participated in the next step of the process while smiling.

Thorns emerged from his back. They pierced into the Abyssal monsters’ bodies one after the other. He only removed them a while later.

Outwardly, the Abyssal monsters did not seem to have undergone any changes at all after being pierced.

However, Lin Huang had his guesses.

Although he did not know what Nyarlathotep had injected into the monsters, he could probe what was happening inside the monsters’ bodies.

There were spheres of high-level Abyssal energy inside their bodies.

“Is that something similar to a bomb? Or is it a technique that will boost the monsters’ strength?”

Lin Huang could not pinpoint exactly what it was.

After thinking about it, he informed the group of imperial monsters under his command so that they could prepare beforehand.

For the next few days, Shub would breed over a million offspring per day. Not only that, all of them were at dominator-level rank-9, and they had mastered between a hundred million to a billion chaotic cosmoses.

The ootheca had clearly dried up significantly after three days of having its nutrients absorbed.

Lin Huang guessed by looking that the ootheca would only last for ten days at most.

It was just that he did not know if Aza and the others had the second or third ootheca that could provide Shub with more nutrients to maintain her high production rate.

Her breeding throughout those few days had indeed applied a significant amount of pressure to everyone in the infinite universe.

After all, the number of Abyssal monsters that joined the battlefield everyday was increasing every day.

Nevertheless, Lin Huang finally discovered what Nyarlathotep did to those monsters.

As he guessed, Nyarlathotep had made them into bombs.

To be exact, they were not just bombs, but also a highly effective source of contamination.

As soon as the monsters that had been injected were killed, their carcasses would explode. The impact of the explosion was not the most important factor. Rather, the dense Abyssal energy that would be released from the explosion was the most dangerous element.

If one was not careful and got too close, the Abyssal energy would contaminate them immediately as soon as they were touched.

Only supreme powerhouses who had mastered over trillions of chaotic cosmoses were immune to the contamination from these ‘bombs’.

In that case, excluding the people from the Sword Alliance, Dragon Emperor was the only person in the entire infinite universe who was immune to such contamination.

One had to say that Nyarlathotep’s trick was quite cunning.

What Aza and the others did had gotten the infinite universe into a pickle again.
