This appearance, which almost transcended human aesthetics, was simply unacceptable to the nine people present. Moreover, around this enormous worm, even more smaller worms emerged from the ground, as if the underground was a machine producing worms, and these worms were endless.
Zhou Yun had already firmly donned her rocket backpack and launched air blades. She found it nearly impossible to step on those worms. Beside her, Mao Gan Cao was in a similar situation. However, Mao Gan Cao’s psychic abilities were mostly useless here. He had to resort to a specially designed box-shaped attacker that shot out condensed psychic impacts, similar to a storm of pear blossoms. He used this to attack the worms at his feet.
The worms staggered and twisted from the air blades and psychic attacks, but soon they counterattacked in unison. Seeing this, the others swiftly joined the battle. Ren Zhu closed his eyes and addressed the worms beneath him, “The ones beside you are actually disguised enemies. They’re seeking opportunities to kill you. Don’t hesitate anymore; attack them quickly. Only by seizing the best moment can you defeat the enemy and finally conquer Earth.”
【Class Teacher’s Assumption (Level Nine) skill triggered: Parasitic worm Larva – 100 intelligence, additional mental confusion effect. Indiscriminate attack on all living beings in the vicinity for half an hour.】
Hearing the system prompt, Ren Zhu took a deep breath. Using this advanced skill would deplete most of his psychic power, so he could now only rely on the system-enhanced “Class Teacher’s Chalk (or other object)” to attack. However, it was obvious he didn’t need to do that now, as someone was already standing in front of him.
Yi Xiao’s face was now full of disdain as he faced the enormous worm queen. Despite its large size, it was extremely fast, even faster than Ah Jin who had already reached Level Three in speed abilities. Its initial target wasn’t clear, only that it emitted hostile roars directed at Yi Xiao, the strongest presence. However, when Ren Zhu used his abilities to cause the worms to turn on each other, the giant worm’s attention shifted directly to Ren Zhu.
Fierce aggression emanated from its narrowed eyes, filled with anger and enmity. Thereafter, all its attacks were aimed at Ren Zhu. Despite Ren Zhu’s impressive psychic attacks, it took a considerable toll on his energy to employ a big move, and he couldn’t deny that the worm’s speed alone could have easily bitten him to death or cut him in half before he could even speak. Thus, Yi Xiao wasn’t attacking now; he was passively protecting Ren Zhu.
In addition, the thick armor of the gigantic worm made it immune to the kind of stomping that had been effective on its larvae. The battle thus became a deadlock.
Essentially, Yi Xiao was dealing with the big worm, occasionally getting help from Ren Zhu. The others were frantically attacking the small worms.
At this moment, in mid-air, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a faint and gentle voice near her ear. But when she listened carefully, the voice vanished, replaced by a subtle fragrance. She couldn’t help but turn her head, only to find a pair of crystalline wings. How beautiful these wings were! They seemed to have absorbed the radiance of the moon.
“…So beautiful…” Zhou Yun couldn’t help but exclaim.

Then, the list of attackers targeting their own comrades increased by one.
This change seemed to have taken a very long time, but in fact, the entire reversal by Zhou Yun, Liu Mingqing, and Song Qiang took only two minutes. When Guo Jian Fei was shot through the shoulder by Liu Mingqing’s bullet, he thought it was just Liu Mingqing’s mistake. But when he saw Liu Mingqing continuing to aim his gun at his head, he was completely dumbfounded.
“You idiot! Hurry up and hide! He’s being controlled!” Mao Gan Cao was most sensitive to mental abnormalities. While shouting, he pushed Gui Jian Fei out of the way, but still got a scratch on his face from Liu Mingqing’s bullet. Only now did Gu Jian Fei realize the situation. His first reaction wasn’t to curse the person controlling him, but to exclaim while looking at Mao Gan Cao’s face, “Mao Mao! Mao Mao! Your face! Your face is injured!”
Upon hearing that address, Mao Gan Cao froze. He probably hadn’t heard anyone call him “Mao Mao” since the third grade. This revealed how nervous this idiot really was. He rolled his eyes, “It’s just a little scratch on my face, not like I’m dead! Don’t think about this now; think about how to deal this with Liu Ge and the others. Is this the problem of this worm? Or are there other worms around us? We must be careful not to be controlled again.”
As Mao Gan Cao finished speaking, Jin Yu shot his metal spikes over. Guo Jian Fei angrily yelled, “Damn it! Not sparing even kids!”
Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao quickly noticed the situation over here. They exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. After delaying so much time earlier, they had finally drawn out the true perpetrator. Surely, the person who could devise a method to invade an alien planet wouldn’t be a thick-skinned fool. Disguise and deception were clearly the methods it excelled at.
At this moment, Zhao Tianfu’s face changed drastically. “Pay attention to that glowing butterfly! It’s problematic!”
Xiao Mao and Xiao Guo immediately saw the crystal-like butterfly flying towards them. Under normal circumstances, they would have found such a butterfly rare and would want to stop and take a look. But right now, seeing this butterfly, they felt as if the Angel of Death was waving its wings at them.
“Tsk! What’s wrong with this butterfly? Wasn’t it supposed to be a butterfly spirit? Why is a butterfly spirit helping the alien worms!” Gu Jian Fei shouted.
Zhao Tianfu wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by a loud noise coming from the distance.
At this point, the massive figure of the “worm queen,” which had appeared so formidable and seemingly on par with Yi Xiao, had been flipped over, and its head bore a deep and massive hole. In this moment, the “worm queen” that had been causing such havoc was already lying motionless on the ground.
The “queen” was shaking its eight legs as if it were struggling in its dying moments, as if it still wanted to fight fiercely for another five hundred years.
At this moment, a sigh seemed to echo in everyone’s ears. This sound was truly moving, so much so that it made people involuntarily sigh along with it.
“It is the strongest one I’ve given birth to, and also my first child.”
Zhou Yun, who was being controlled, teared up as if her own child had died. However, Gu Jian Fei and Mao Gan Cao were horrified when they heard this. Zhao Taoist gritted his teeth, “Indeed, you are the true worm queen! You’ve disguised yourself as a butterfly!”
The real worm queen, the Spirit Crystal Butterfly, chuckled, “Why would I need to disguise myself as a butterfly? I’ve always looked like this. Isn’t it beautiful? With such beautiful butterflies like me, don’t you want to make this Earth a bit more lively? ”
Ren Zhu sneered, “You want to cover the whole Earth, and then eat everything on it, turning the Earth into a dead star, just so you can continue invading the next planet?”
The Spirit Crystal Butterfly Queen laughed, “What misunderstanding do you have about us? We only need nectar. We don’t eat humans.”
Although the Spirit Crystal Butterfly said so, it had already landed on Zhou Yun’s spiritual region. Zhao Tianfu subconsciously felt that the butterfly harbored ill intentions. He was about to say something when Ren Zhu scolded, “Get away!”
The Spirit Crystal Butterfly Queen actually flipped back twice, seemingly beyond control. Its nearly invisible head turned slowly, and its gem-like eyes sparkled. With an excited tone, it said to Ren Zhu, “Wow, such strong psychic power! Such… a delicious treat!”
After this statement, Ren Zhu saw the Spirit Crystal Butterfly Queen rapidly flap its wings. The next moment, a faint bloody, red mist enveloped the surroundings. The atmosphere suddenly became uncomfortable. Yi Xiao attempted to attack the worm queen in the meantime, but the queen’s speed was just too fast. Every one of Yi Xiao’s attacks couldn’t touch it. What made Yi Xiao even more frustrated was that it seemed like the worm queen was absorbing the power of his attacks.
“Oh my God! It’s actually crazily absorbing the aura of living beings!” Zhao Tianfu watched in terror as the surroundings turned grey. “It’s really planning to devour the Earth!”
Ren Zhu’s heart sank. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for them. They couldn’t attack the worm queen, and the butterfly was greedily consuming Earth as if it were a delicacy. They needed to end this battle quickly; if it dragged on, their losses would increase while the enemy’s strength would keep growing.
Ren Zhu quickly reviewed his skills, trying to find any that could turn the tide for everyone. While he was searching, Gu Jian Fei, Mao Gan Cao, and Zhao Tianfu were gradually losing control of their own spirits under the influence of the queen worms. Seeing their former comrades attacking him and Yi Xiao like maniacs, Ren Zhu clenched his teeth and cursed in his mind. Suddenly, he spotted a skill he had hardly ever used. His mouth twitched, and he swiftly activated it.
【Ding. Host activates “Class Teacher’s Kiss of Love” skill: target Yi Xiao, ????? trigger ????? cough, good luck, take care of yourself.】
Ren Zhu: “…” What the hell are all these question marks?!! What does ‘take care of yourself’ mean?! You’re making me confused!
Translator’s Note:
