“Have you ever obtained this kind of scarlet crystal?”

Lin Feng took a small life core fragment directly. He had left this behind on purpose.

“I’ve never seen it before.”

The broodmother shook its head and said firmly.

“Is that so?”

Lin Feng sneered. The Spear of Destruction in his hand stabbed into the broodmother’s body again. The annihilative power erupted, and the cells in the broodmother’s body were quickly annihilated. Its massive body was being reduced to ashes at a visible speed.

The broodmother was extremely terrified. It said loudly in a hurry, “I know, I know this kind of crystal. I was once just an ordinary Screwworm, but it was precisely because I found this scarlet crystal and slowly absorbed it that I underwent metamorphosis again and again, becoming like this. Moreover, I learned how to devour from the scarlet crystal, and devoured to increase my strength. Originally, I wanted to use these small insects, and have them all return to my body after devouring continuously. I would devour them all so that my body can undergo metamorphosis again. However, after encountering you, my plan failed…”

Hearing the broodmother’s answer, Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

This broodmother must have been affected by the memories of the Leviathan in the life core fragment. Although it was not assimilated by the memories of the Leviathan, it was probably more or less affected by it. It even thought of devouring other lifeforms to undergo metamorphosis.

Actually, this was a misconception. Leviathans were special lifeforms. Leviathans could increase their strength by devouring other lifeforms, but other lifeforms like the broodmother could not necessarily do so.

The life core fragment had led to the metamorphoses of the broodmother. At the same time, it had created a demonic creature out of nowhere. This was the danger of the life core fragment.

If Lin Feng had also been assimilated by the memories of the Leviathan back in the Sea Emperor Palace, either his body would slowly collapse, or he would think that he was the Leviathan after waking up, and continue to act according to the Leviathan’s memories and devour continuously. At that time, Lin Feng would also become the greatest threat to humanity.

The life core fragment could push a weak lifeform to become a powerful lifeform, allowing weak lifeforms to obtain great power. However, at the same time, it might also lead this lifeform to complete ruination.

Although the broodmother in front of him seemed powerful, this was actually its limit.

It had transformed to its current state through the life core fragment, and had actually reached its limit now. In fact, no matter how much it devoured, it could no longer increase its strength.

On the contrary, it would transform into something similar to the Behemoth of Armageddon, and think only of constantly devouring and destroying.

Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of a possibility. Could the Behemoth of Armageddon have also devoured the life core fragment, causing destruction to be its only thought? From there, it could sublimate in destruction and metamorphose into a planetary lifeform?

This was not impossible. On the contrary, it was entirely possible!

The broodmother on the ground was still struggling constantly. A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.

The terrifying parasitic species never actually existed in this world. They only existed because this tiny worm had accidentally obtained numerous life core fragments back then, and slowly transformed into the broodmother.

This was how a terrifying parasitic species was born.

These parasites were like locusts, constantly devouring and destroying. They were even more terrifying than Predators.

“Do you still have any scarlet crystal left?”

“No. Not long ago, I completely devoured that huge scarlet crystal.” The broodmother replied honestly.

“What a pity!”

Lin Feng looked at the densely packed parasites around him. Without any hesitation, he stabbed down with the Spear of Destruction in his hand.

Boom.

The annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction erupted completely like a surging torrent. The broodmother’s entire body struggled violently as it screamed wildly. However, its body was firmly stepped on by Lin Feng, and it could not move at all.

Hence, in a very short period of time, the broodmother’s body began to disintegrate rapidly at a visible speed, turning into ashes and disappearing into the air.

Its five-kilometer body could not even withstand the annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction for three minutes before all of it was reduced to ashes.

The broodmother that had almost destroyed human civilization dissipated, just like that.

As the broodmother dissipated, everyone was surprised to discover that those tens of thousands of parasites had also been reduced to ashes.

These parasites were originally bred by the broodmother through special means. It could not even be called “breeding”, and they were originally part of the broodmother’s body.

With the death of the broodmother, these parasites naturally could not survive without their parent body.

Tens of thousands of parasites died one after another. The massive amount of parasite corpses on the ground was a shocking sight.

“Dead! The parasitic species is dead!”

“We won, we won!”

“It’s a pity that Sage Claus and Sage Cass can’t see this…”

The parasitic species was completely annihilated, and even the broodmother died to Lin Feng’s Spear of Destruction. The crisis for humanity had been resolved this time. However, this battle was a heavy loss for humanity, and one that must always be remembered!

Sage Claus! Sage Cass!

The sacrifice of two Sages in this battle had become the most painful memory of humanity.

“It’s all over…”

Sage Kang heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the figure in the distance with a complicated expression. This time, Lin Feng had saved humanity and their remaining Sages again.

Back then, he had almost disappointed Lin Feng for the sake of the greater good.

Fortunately, all of this was over.

“Sage Lin Feng, you came back at the right time. If you hadn’t returned, once Maple Leaf City falls, the elites of the six major factions would probably all be lost. There’s no knowing how many years it would take for recovery.”

Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi came to Lin Feng’s side.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, did not appear that happy. He shook his head and said, “Do you know? The broodmother was actually just a tiny worm. By chance, it devoured this scarlet crystal, and ended up becoming the broodmother. Although the Behemoth of Armageddon has yet to awaken, we humans are just too weak…”

Lin Feng spoke with feeling. Just by devouring the life core fragment, a mere broodmother could crush all the Sages of humanity, and even have the power to destroy the entire human civilization.

It was not that the broodmother was too strong, but that the human civilization was too weak.

Compared to the previous eight civilizations, not counting Lin Feng, human civilization was probably the weakest.

“Sages, let’s restore Maple Leaf City first, appease all humans, and restore peace to human society. I will think of a way to increase the overall strength of humanity!”

With that, Lin Feng returned to his normal size and flew into Maple Leaf City to look for Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji.

The Sages were left behind, dumbfounded and slightly awkward.

“What can Sage Lin Feng do to increase the overall strength of humanity?”

All the Sages were very curious, but if Lin Feng did not say it, they could not ask.

However, if Lin Feng really had a way to increase the overall strength of humanity, that would be humanity’s blessing!
