Chapter 473: There seems to be hope?
[Time Pause Ended]
As the system prompt sounded in Gu Yeming's mind, his tense nerves finally relaxed and he landed slowly and steadily.
The originally dazzling light of the Tyrannical Sword in his hand gradually dimmed, and the blood-red thunder surrounding the sword also dissipated like the tide, leaving only a faint smell of blood.
Only then did Strind and Cogret come back to their senses from the tense atmosphere of the previous fierce battle.
The next moment, Sterling was startled, his eyes full of astonishment.
The Worm King, who had just been struggling frantically and with incredible strength, had now turned into a bloody corpse, lying there quietly, lifeless.
"How...why did he die suddenly?" Sterling was full of doubts and thought to himself:
Could it be that it was done by Mr. Gu?
Thinking of this, Sterling looked at Gu Yeming with a look of surprise and doubt, his eyes revealing an unconcealable disbelief.
Cogret also focused his attention on Gu Yeming.
It was also filled with shock. After all, who could have imagined that humans, whose strength was once at most at the destruction level, could burst out with such an extremely depressing and terrifying aura not long ago.
Gu Yeming noticed Sterling's gaze, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, and took the initiative to greet him:
"Long time no see, Strind."
However, Sterling did not relax his vigilance. He took a few steps back, his eyes still showing caution. He slowly asked, "You...are you really Mr. Gu?"
When Gu Yeming saw Sterling like this, he couldn't help but laugh.
But he could also understand it. After all, in just a few months, he grew from an S-level strongman directly to a disaster-level strongman. Such a growth rate was really too amazing and no one could believe it.
"Relax, Sterling, I am really here, authentically." Gu Yeming said in a calm tone.
"Then let me test you. Which snack of mine do you like best, Mr. Gu?" Sterling asked suddenly.
When Gu Yeming heard this, the scene of being received by Sterling in the dark layer suddenly emerged in his mind, and the bloody remains of the monster seemed to be right in front of him.
He frowned, with a look of disgust on his face: "...When have I ever eaten your so-called 'snacks'?"
"Correct answer!" Sterling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed a little.
Great, it's Mr. Gu himself...
Then, Sterling transformed into a human form. He raised his hand to adjust his black-framed glasses. His eyes behind the lenses flashed with surprise and doubt. He walked forward slowly and looked Gu Yeming up and down carefully, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Although I have already determined in my heart that you are Mr. Gu, I still find it hard to believe the facts before my eyes..."
There was a hint of amazement in Sterling's tone:
"How did you become so strong in such a short time? With your current status, even I would not be able to last more than a few rounds under your hands."
"It's a long story."
Gu Yeming shook his head slightly, with no intention of explaining in detail.
He simply took out several bottles of life-restoring potions from his system backpack, handed them to them, and said:
"Drink this first. You all have injuries on your bodies, and we will have to fight those bugs together later, so you have to stay in good condition."
"Is this the magical liquid from before?"
There was a glimmer of surprise in Sterling's eyes, and he quickly took the potion.
He opened his mouth wide and threw a few bottles of potion in. After a series of crisp crunching sounds, the hideous wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all his injuries were recovered.
Cogret, who was floating in the air, also stretched out two balls of thick black mist, wrapping up and absorbing the remaining potion.
In just a moment, the originally slightly dim black fog became thick and solid again, intact as before.
Seeing that Strind and Cogret had recovered, Gu Yeming's expression became serious and he asked directly:
"I heard from others that the strange monsters in your dark layer couldn't even hold out for ten minutes under the attack of those insects. Is that true?"
"Uh..." Sterling scratched his head awkwardly, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he nodded slowly:
"Yes, that group of bugs suddenly emerged from the cracks in time and space without any warning, and attacked us without any explanation as soon as they appeared.
"At first we thought they were just ordinary bugs that were weak but numerous, but as time went on, several powerful Calamity-level creatures appeared one after another."
"We really couldn't resist, so we had no choice but to let Cogret and other companions escape to the surface world."
"However, we never expected that even the humans in the surface world were not spared and were also invaded by these insects..."
"As you can see, the world right now has been thrown into chaos by those bugs. It seems that more than half of humanity has been devoured."
Gu Yeming frowned slightly, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his deep eyes.
The threat posed by these insects is well-deserved. Even the powerful and strange monsters in the dark layer find it difficult to contend with them, so one can imagine the difficulty faced by humans.
"Those bugs are called World Devouring Star Bugs. The extent of their harm is far beyond that of the original weird monsters. They are even enough to completely destroy the entire world."
Gu Yeming's voice was low:
"Moreover, it is not just our Blue Technology World that has been invaded by them. Other worlds and even dimensions have not been spared as well."
"Although the number of those bugs is extremely large, the number of planes is also not small, otherwise the Blue Technology World would have been completely devoured by them long ago."
After saying this, Gu Yeming's eyes moved slightly and he fell into deep thought. According to Sterling's description just now, it seems that the number of troops that the Devouring Starworms have deployed to the Blue Technology World is not as much as imagined.
It seems that even a special Zerg as powerful and numerous as the World-Eating Starworms will face the dilemma of dispersing forces when launching an invasion of many planes of existence at the same time, and it will be difficult to deploy a large number of forces in each plane.
Those domains and special and powerful planes such as the strange plane and the abyss plane must be the "fat meat" in the eyes of the world-eating star worms, and they concentrate most of their forces to gnaw on these "hard bones".
After all, once these special planes are successfully occupied, the benefits and resources obtained by the Devouring Starworms will be enormous.
So it seems....
It seems that there is still hope for the blue technology plane?
