Legend of the Planet Builder-Chapter 316 - 244: The Outbreak of World War

"Activate the Mechanical Thorn-backed Horned Worm King!" He Xingzhou said to Xuanwu.

"Activating the Mechanical Thorn-backed Horned Worm King!" Under the stands, the massive mechanical giant beast began to move, its fusion energy core starting to release energy, transmitted via cables to its various parts.

The anti-gravity device was activated, and this giant slowly lifted its tens of thousands of tons body!

"Activated!" The researchers all watched the mechanical giant beast, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"Move!" He Xingzhou continued to give instructions, testing its related performance.

The Mechanical Thorn-backed Horned Worm King started moving towards the large underground testing area.

The mechanical legs alternated, and it walked steadily. He Xingzhou tested the anti-gravity system, which allowed it to fly like a Space Air Mother Ship.

Due to the limited space here, it was only allowed to fly one meter above the ground.

Reaching the testing area, He Xingzhou began testing its weapon systems.

"Generate a strong magnetic field!"

A strong magnetic field was generated around the Mechanical Thorn-backed Horned Worm King, prompting alarms from the equipment in the field. If the magnetic field continued to strengthen, everything here would be destroyed.

"Stop!" He Xingzhou could only pause momentarily, then instructed it to generate an "Electric Field."

Lightning surrounded the Mechanical Level Horned Worm King, extremely similar to the previous Beluga Insect King.

"Testing the stability and intensity of the Electric Field..."

The tests on the Mechanical Horned Worm King were all normal. Besides being unable to consume and evolve, it possessed capabilities similar to a Planet Giant Beast!

This was just one of the many mechanical giant beasts created by He Xingzhou. He had also designed numerous other types of mechanical giant beasts, which the Blue Star Alliance’s factories were constantly rushing to produce.

...

Over half a year passed, and the five major forces on Blue Star began probing each other’s strengths, escalating the tension.

The Mana Insect King sent troops several times to attack the Blue Star Alliance along its lines but failed. It itself never appeared even once, behaving much more cautiously than before.

The Ola Insect King and Noah Insect King also dispatched swarms for a clash, resulting in the death of billions of Zergs and more than a dozen Insect Kings, with neither side securing a victory.

As for Sunbird Biotechnology Company, it seemed to be in hiding, not initiating any attacks on any force. Everyone knew they were accumulating strength.

...

In the Southern Sea, a fleet of Aircraft Carriers from the Blue Star Alliance was conducting routine patrol activities, clearing Zergs from the nearby waters.

"Recently, the number of nearby Zergs has increased again!" Under the sea, Deep Sea Battleship pilot Tian Ming reported to the mother ship while eliminating Zergs with arc weapons, "The average frequency of their appearance has risen by thirty percent."

"Prepare to return..." Tian Ming was ready to return when alarms of high-energy warning appeared on the instruments: "High-energy reaction detected, warning, warning!"

"What’s happening?" He gripped the steering wheel tightly, watching as a scorching beam shot up from the seabed, hitting the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

In the deep sea, a giant beast was ascending.

"It’s a Planet Giant Beast!" Tian Ming immediately reported, "Planet Giant Beast incoming, Planet Giant Beast incoming!"

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was cut in half by the beam and was exploding. The crew on board hurriedly entered flying mechas or deep-sea mechas to escape.

"It’s the Mana Insect King, everyone evacuate! Command Headquarters, request assistance!" the crew on the mother ship hurriedly called for help.

On other ships, crew attempted to use Plasma Beams to attack the Mana Insect King, but it was ineffective. Their ships didn’t have enough tonnage, and the Plasma Beam lacked power, so the Mana Insect King simply ignored their attacks.

A giant head emerged from the seawater, its mouth open, sweeping the aircraft carrier fleet with atomic beams, causing them to break apart or explode.

In less than a minute, a fleet of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers sank here.

Most crew escaped using aircraft and mechas, but some still sacrificed themselves.

"This damn Mana Insect King dares to invade my waters again!" In the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters, Qin Peng was furious and said, "We’ll make it the first target and take it out!"

"Dispatch Space Air Mother Ships to attack!" From Xuanwu Base, five Space Air Mother Ships flew out towards the target area.

Before these Space Air Mother Ships arrived, the Mana Insect King sank back into the sea to hide.

"The sea is my territory, you natives are just waiting for death!" the Mana Insect King boasted. On land, it might not be able to defeat the Blue Star Alliance, but in the sea, it could strike at any time, and humans couldn’t stop it!

"It ran away!" Seeing this scene, everyone was even more enraged.

"We can’t let this continue, or our maritime forces will be slowly destroyed!" Qin Peng pondered, "Our maritime patrol circle has already shrunk to coastal waters, if we keep this up, we’re headed for slow death!"

"If we don’t act, we’ll be the first to go extinct!"

"We need to lock the Mana Insect King in the Insect Nest, even eradicate it!"

"Then let’s build a military base on the Mariana Islands to pin down the Mana Insect King!" He Hongwei opened the map and pointed to a location.

The Mariana Islands, right next to the Mariana Trench, with several well-known islands including Guam, Saipan, Tianning Island, Rota Island.

In the past, there was a Bai ying military base there, later destroyed by the Zerg.

"Space Air Mother Ships, change direction, head for the Mariana Islands, clear the Zerg on the islands!" Qin Peng commanded, "Other units prepare for support, and we’ll build a military base on the Mariana Islands to see if it dares to come out!"

The Mana Insect King was about to return to its Mariana Trench Insect Nest, only to find several Space Air Mother Ships flying in that direction.
