Chapter 1547: Chapter 503: You’re Too Late

But such a breakthrough in thinking often happens in a flash.

"Yeah! Since the Tree-man can run, this isn’t a real domain, but rather the effective range of the Abnormal Object following the Tree-man. I can completely turn on the domain and chase these Insect Swarms!"

Now having discovered this, Bai Yi’s eyes lit up, suddenly feeling as if a new world had opened up.

Her gaze towards the distant Insect Swarms gradually became heated, even somewhat twisted.

As if foreseeing her intentions, the swarms initially lingering at the edge quickly became agitated and swarmed in one direction in panic.

This time, they were no longer the pursuers chasing the warships, but became the pursued, following their instinctual survival impulse, fleeing in panic.

But having locked onto them, how could Bai Yi possibly let them escape?

"Haha, run? Do you think you can escape? I’m coming for you!"

The Extraordinary Plant behind the Tree-man provided a massive propulsion, pursuing the panic-stricken Insect Swarms.

From this moment, the tides of offense and defense had completely reversed.

The first to be caught were the slowest remnants, abandoned by the Mother Insect.

But the Mother Insect, equally incapable of speed, became the critical hurdle dragging down the swarms like the shortest plank of a barrel.

After swiftly dealing with the Giant Beast, the swarms were caught up with once again.

The chase and escape, a pursuit finally concluded after fifteen minutes.

After dealing with the last of the Monster Research Institute’s degraded version of the Insect Clan, Bai Yi reluctantly withdrew the Tree-man Avatar, gripping her staff.

Using her superpower to confirm no stragglers remained, Bai Yi turned her gaze back to the battlefield between the fleets, a thought flashed through her mind, and the light around Bai Yi distorted briefly, returning her to Sisos’ flagship.

Upon sensing Bai Yi’s return, Sisos immediately rose from his command seat, smiling and laughing heartily as he approached Bai Yi.

"Hahaha, welcome back, Lord Fanmao!"

After Bai Yi unexpectedly resolved the Insect Swarms, the unburdened Sisos was the happiest of all.

With nothing left to hinder him, the fleet was quickly reorganized, and the pre-existing tactics before the swarms reappeared.

Even with the fleet reduced by three units since the swarm’s arrival, it was far better than being chased by the swarm.

With a few maneuvers, the fleet regained the upper hand in the battle.

Fifteen minutes later, they had thoroughly suppressed the Church’s fleet, not even requiring Sisos’ full attention anymore.

"This time we truly owe it all to Lord Fanmao; without you, Fanmao, we might have suffered heavy losses..."

"Just doing my best."

"Besides, I’ve gained plenty from this war myself."

Bai Yi’s words weren’t false modesty; without this war, she might have taken ages to discover the Tree’s "ballistic charge" tactic.

Moreover, without the massive swarm allowing her to freely use the Tree’s ability, she couldn’t have tested the Life Force conversion limit of this Abnormal Object.

This became apparent as she used the Tree-man’s capability to absorb life while pursuing the swarm.

The Tree-man’s ability to draw power from associated life suddenly lost effect.

According to her perception, it seemed the Tree-man had absorbed too much life force in a short time, reaching the hidden limit of the Abnormal Object.

Previously, neither the Gemini Civilization’s tests nor her own made large-scale use like this, which left it undiscovered till now.

Fortunately, few swarms remained for Bai Yi to personally clear out.

But Sisos knew none of Bai Yi’s findings, assuming her words were merely modesty.

Just as Sisos intended to speak further, an emergency communication abruptly cut in, interrupting him.

They raised their heads in unison towards the main screen of the warship, showing an image of a stern-looking soldier, who asked intently:

"Sisos, this is the Gemini Civilization Red Fleet, support will arrive in one minute. How are those Calamity creatures?"

Hearing the soldier’s inquiry, Sisos realized.

The joy of resolving the swarms had nearly made him forget he’d called for support.

Moreover, it appeared this support was prompted by the urgency to arrive ahead of time.

Understanding the situation, Sisos shook his head:

"You mean those Insect Swarms? You’re already too late."

"What! Could it be..."

"No, what I mean is..."

Sisos turned to smile knowingly at Bai Yi, then added:

"Those Insect Swarms have already been completely resolved."

"?"

......

Red Fleet: One of the rare unnumbered fleets of the Gemini Civilization, directly under the Gemini Emperor’s jurisdiction, reporting directly to the Emperor. It possesses the most core advanced technology and weaponry of the Gemini Civilization. No one knows the true size or specific strength of the fleet, only that its arrival represents the personal will of the Gemini Emperor...
