Chapter 3186: ModificationEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Hint: The player killed the hypermutant mutant worm.]

[Hint: The player had now obtained the upgrade option-strong acid modification.]

Description: After being modified with strong acid, mutant worms could spit acidic fluid for short-range ranged attacks. The acidic fluid was highly destructive to energy barriers and various alloy metal defenses. When a modified mutant worm died, it caused a small-area explosion of acidic fluid.

[Hint: Current collection progress of modification gene sample: 0.65%.]

Fang Heng quickly scanned the Seed of Ouroboros hints and skill descriptions, then glanced at the tiny creep worms emerging from the shattered hypermutant creep corpse. He licked his lips lightly, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Here it came!

It had been a long time since he had found a Seed of Ouroboros option suitable for enhancement.

And this time, he had triggered two different modifications at once.

Looking closely, both the hypermutant modification and the strong acid modification were very powerful abilities.

He just did not know how many mutation slots they would consume.

Behind him, the team saw Fang Heng single-handedly enter the mutant worm sea to eliminate hypermutants. Their morale soared, and the front line stabilized as they continued to cooperate in clearing the swarm.

Two martial artists in the team exchanged glances, horror reflected in each other’s eyes.

The gap between them and Fang Heng was simply too great.

Fang Heng slowly raised his head and looked deeper into the swarm.

The number of elite Seed of Ouroboros sensed was not many.

It seemed the swarm was still relying on sheer numbers to try to completely engulf the fleet’s base.

Then so be it!

Time to grind!

He would first unlock the two different mutation modifications just obtained: hypermutant and strong acid spitting.

...

Outside the galaxy.

The small planet modified by mutant worms flew rapidly through space.

"All forces of the Seven Realms Martial Capital have begun arriving at the battlefield. The first wave of the swarm has encountered attacks from various races."

"Report: We have detected traces of same-species Seed of Ouroboros, but strangely, they are mixed among the Seven Realms Martial Capital forces, opposing us."

Mutant worm commander Fumo frowned, thinking for a moment. "It seems the worms in this star domain have not yet perceived the king’s guidance."

Fumo asked again, "Is this the powerful same-species individual we detected earlier?"

"Probably not. Their strength ripple is not high."

"Strange. Even without perceiving the beetle king’s guidance, why join the Seven Realms Martial Capital forces? Do they want to use its power against their own kind?"

"Don’t think too much. Weak same-species have no right to survive. Let me handle this, Fumo. I haven’t stretched my limbs in a while."

Kalai licked his lips slightly, bloodthirst gleaming in his eyes. "I wonder what kind of same-species this star domain can produce. I’m curious."

"Kalai, the king has not fully mutated. We must act carefully until then. That one might know useful information to help us find the powerful same-species."

"Of course. I’ll get everything from their mouth."

Before the commander could speak again, Kalai moved toward the wormhole, raising a hand. "Leave it to me, Fumo. You should focus on the other infiltration team. This one won’t give you trouble; I’ll handle it myself."

...

On the frontline planet, Noel Clan participants were shocked.

Fang Heng’s individual strength far exceeded their expectations.

He had single-handedly plunged into the dense worm sea. Wherever he went, the surrounding mutant worms were instantly covered in a layer of dead-gray, then continuously exploded into fragments of blood and flesh.

Nasir, positioned at the rear defensive line, watched Fang Heng charge deeper into the swarm and could not help but mutter to himself: Good grief, this guy cultivated like crazy before, and now he’s fighting the swarm just as recklessly?

After entering the swarm, Fang Heng quickly adjusted his tactics.

The worms multiplied and spread extremely fast; even with his current abilities, he could not wipe them all out.

He focused on hunting high-tier elite units directly.

Meanwhile, inside the fleet, Noel Clan commander-in-chief Ronny received a report from his subordinate.

"Commander, radar systems detect large spatial fluctuations. A massive number of mutant worm creatures are about to enter this world through wormholes."

What? Was this planet now a primary target for the mutant worms?

Strange. This planet lacked high-value mineral resources and was not strategically important. Why would the swarm concentrate their attack here?

"Order retreat. Prepare for emergency transition immediately!"

Ronny did not dare take risks and issued the command to control the fleet for an emergency transition.

Fang Heng, still fighting within the swarm, found it odd to hear the retreat order from the fleet behind him.

Because the proportion of elite creatures in the swarm was low, he had spent over an hour clearing them. The collection progress for the two mutation abilities had just passed 20%.

His domain ability was not yet fully mastered, with limited duration and intermittent control. Fang Heng had been planning to use this opportunity to improve his proficiency in combat.

Unexpectedly, he received a withdrawal order, leaving him somewhat unsatisfied.𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Well.

There might be other changes on the battlefield.

Fang Heng decided to withdraw from combat and regroup with Nasir and the others to return to the fleet.

Captain Ronny looked at everyone and nodded. "Everyone, radar detects high-frequency wormhole activity. A large number of mutant worm creatures are converging on this planet. The Noel Clan has determined that this planet and nearby ones have been selected by the worms as outposts and will soon serve as transfer hubs for their swarm."

Fang Heng felt a stir in his mind. Could it be that this swarm was coming for him?

Ronny continued, "I’ve contacted headquarters. We will execute an emergency transition, taking advantage of the incomplete worm infection network. Other races will then use orbital cannons from the periphery to conduct large-scale extermination, delaying the swarm’s occupation of the planet."

"Headquarters has coordinated the transition route. We will prepare immediately."

"Positioning complete. Teleport destination set to planet V-292. This planet was attacked by mutant worm creatures 70 minutes ago. The current fleet mission has been updated to assist in establishing guard outposts."

Fang Heng wanted to say he could stay behind to test the worms’ true strength, but the captain had already decided. He abandoned the attempt to argue.

Well.

Half the border star domains were already in flames; it didn’t matter where he fought next.

"Prepare for transition!"

As waves of mutant worm creatures breached the outer defenses and approached the fleet, Commander Ronny immediately issued the transition command.

"Buzz... buzz buzz..."

Pale dots of light condensed around the fleet.

The fleet entered transition mode and disappeared into the passage.
