Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning-Chapter 61 - 62 – The Titan Giant Ape Escapes… Again?

At the sound of Chrysanthemum Douluo's furious roar—

Even with his thick skull, the Titan Giant Ape finally understood what was happening.

He had been made a scapegoat.

The endless swarm of Zerg continued to surround and attack the three Titled Douluo.

Though the creatures had bypassed his body, the Titan Giant Ape could clearly sense a large number of Zerg units behind him, watching his every move like hungry predators.

The slightest misstep... and they'd tear him apart.

"ROAAAR!!"

He roared in fury, his massive bronze-like eyes burning with rage.

How dare they?!

He was a noble, supreme 100,000-year soul beast—the king of the Star Dou Forest!

How dare these filthy, disgusting creatures manipulate and use him?

Furious, he looked one last time through a gap in the Zerg tide at the three humans being overwhelmed—then acted without hesitation.

A layer of magma-colored armor spread across his body.

Dark, lava-like patterns pulsed along his fur, radiating intense heat like real molten rock.

Any Zerg unit that approached was scorched—their hard carapaces crackling and hissing from the heat before slowly melting away.

But what truly terrified the Titan Giant Ape... was how the Zerg did not stop.

Even when torn apart, burned alive, or crushed—these creatures showed no pain, no hesitation.

Even with limbs missing, they dragged themselves forward with a singular purpose.

It was chilling.

Do they even have souls? the Titan Giant Ape thought, shuddering at the emotionless crimson eyes staring back at him.

No... these things aren't alive. They're just husks—mindless machines of war.

"Insane... They're all insane!"

Roaring again, he burst through the encircling Zerg using his molten armor, leaping high into a tree.

Although the Zerg forces were massive in number, only the Zerglings were agile and capable of fast pursuit.

Units like Roaches and Hydralisks, while powerful, were slow and unwieldy in dense forests.

And Zerglings?

To the Titan Giant Ape, they were just pests to be swatted.

Leaping from tree to tree, agile despite his massive size, he skillfully evaded wave after wave of pursuit.

Glancing one last time at the endless black tide behind him, he turned and darted toward the forest's edge.

Within moments, his massive form had vanished into the wilderness.

Whoosh—!

From above, Xiao Wu descended gently, her bone wings fluttering as she watched the ape disappear.

A playful, unreadable glint sparkled in her red eyes.

"Let's hope you find something useful for the Overmind in the Sunset Forest... fufufu~"

She waved her hand—and the Zerg forces that had been pretending to chase the ape halted immediately.

They stood still, silently awaiting the next command.

Above, at ten thousand meters in the sky, several Overlords locked their crimson gazes onto the ape's trail.

They hid among the clouds, slowly tailing the Titan Giant Ape's retreat.

Only then did Xiao Wu turn her attention to the ongoing battle—where the three Titled Douluo were still being swarmed.

"AAAHHH!!!"

BOOM—!

A thunderous roar exploded as the ground quaked.

A shockwave cleared a large portion of the Zerg surrounding them.

Snake Lance Douluo stood tall, his golden aura blazing. Behind him, the phantom of the Twin-Headed Golden Serpent Spear coiled over his shoulders, hissing and snapping its tongues.

An endless torrent of golden soul power surged from his body, radiating divine might.

Bathed in golden light, Snake Lance Douluo floated midair like a war god, coldly surveying the black tide around him.

"Just a bunch of worthless pests!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes. His massive Heavenly Chrysanthemum martial spirit, which had begun to take form behind him, slowly faded.

But the fury on his face hadn't faded one bit.

"Where is that Titan Giant Ape?! I'm going to skin him alive! Rip out his tendons! Use his soul bone as my footstool!"

Ghost Douluo waved a hand, recalling the dispersed black mist he'd used for scouting.

His raspy voice echoed, "Can't detect his presence. He's gone."

Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned. "So... should we retreat?"

Ghost Douluo raised an eyebrow. "You think it's that serious?"

He hesitated, then nodded... but also shook his head.

"Maybe."

Ghost Douluo's ghostly martial spirit allowed him to release black mist capable of detecting hidden threats.

And what he saw... unnerved him.

These strange soul beasts—these Zerg—had no soul power fluctuations. But their sheer numbers...

They stretched as far as his mist could reach. An unending sea.

The three of them were like three tiny blades of grass drifting in an ocean of living death.

The only upside?

The creatures were weak.

They could easily clear large swaths of them with minimal effort.

But even so... Ghost Douluo couldn't shake the sense of death clinging to his soul.

His spirit's nature made him especially sensitive to death and darkness—and the feeling was definitely real.

He just didn't know where it was coming from.

That unknown, that dread, put him on high alert.

He couldn't help but mutter: "Be careful... Old Chrysanthemum."

Buzz—!

Chrysanthemum Douluo summoned his martial spirit and soul rings again, glaring at the endless swarm around him.

His voice turned sharp and shrill: "Afraid? Hell no! Let me vent my anger first!"

BOOM—!

His sixth soul ring lit up!

"Golden Core Blooming Radiance!"

The Heavenly Chrysanthemum glowed gold, expanding in size as it floated upward.

Its petals parted, revealing a gleaming golden core at the center.

Shhh-shhh-shhh!

Beams of golden light erupted from the flower's heart, like needles of death, piercing into the black tide around them!

"Hahahaha! Now we're talking!"

Snake Lance Douluo's blood surged with excitement. He gripped his spear and dove into the Zerg swarm like a streak of golden lightning.

"I'll fight beside you, Elder Chrysanthemum!"
