Wasteland's Only King Chapter 266 - 43: The Terrifying Oppression of the Star-devo

Boom——

Rumble——!

Venus is shaking nonstop.

The Northern Hemisphere is currently imrsed in night.

Yet the City Lords and subordinates of every Refuge City are still keeping their heads down, mining under the starry sky above.

But at this very mont.

Everyone instinctively looked up to the heavens.

And then...

"Wh-what is that?"

Countless people, including Tier Eight and Tier Nine City Lords, all widened their eyes, their scalps tingling with fear.

And behold—

Above the planet.

Thick, massive tentacles waved and swayed without pause.

Each of them seed studded with dazzling starlike points of light.

But within those lights was sothing unsettling; many low-tier Evolvers grew dizzy after just a few seconds of eye contact, almost unable to keep standing.

"Eyes, they’re all eyes!"

Exclamations, shrieks, heated debates erupted across Venus.

What truly terrified the masses of the Northern Hemisphere was—

What they saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

The main body connected to those countless tentacles was clearly positioned over the other half of the planet—directly above the Southern Hemisphere.

"Huh?"

Near Dawn Fortress above Morgan City, in the Northern Hemisphere.

Yin Ya Naiya and the others, who had just returned to the fortress after finishing their Northern Hemisphere missions, were staring upward at the writhing, seemingly up-close tentacles, looking rather grim.

"A Star System-Level Mutant Beast!"

"That Tier..."

"It could very well be above Tier Fifteen!"

While Yin Yao made her calm evaluation, she also used her communication mark to contact Yu Jin.

Then...

"What?"

"It’s your target, President?"

"It ca here as part of your plan too?"

"Wait, what do you an by ’Do you want to try so exotic teppanyaki squid?’"

Yin Yao’s eyes grew wider and wider.

anwhile, the players from Blue Star such as Chen Gang all looked utterly gobsmacked at the words ’teppanyaki squid.’

But Naiya from Moore Star, Neil from Alpha Star, and the others all seed rather confused.

"Teppanyaki squid?"

"What does that an?"

"Is it tasty?"

"What does it have to do with those tentacles in the sky?"

Naiya’s little face was filled with curiosity.

She’d once been a hobody, but definitely a full-fledged foodie too.

It was just that on Moore Star, there was no such delicacy as ’teppanyaki squid.’

At this mont—

After receiving Yu Jin’s reply—

The tension that had weighed on Yin Yao and her party’s hearts completely vanished.

Are you kidding?!

If even the President/City Lord says that, already planning to cook up a specialty dish,

Then what threat could there be?

Forget Tier Fifteen—even if it was Tier Sixteen or Tier Seventeen, it’d still get flattened on the spot!

"By the way..."

"Isn’t this also a perfect opportunity to showcase Dawn Fortress—and especially Lord City Lord’s power?"

Nasha, who usually couldn’t be bothered with serious business, rolled her eyes with excitent and chid in.

At her words—

Yin Yao and the others froze for a second, then realized with a jolt—

"Yeah!"

Swoosh—

Swoosh swoosh—!

Imdiately after—

Yin Yao and the others led their own armies, howling out into the night.

...

...

Venus, Southern Hemisphere.

Compared to the dark shroud over the Northern Hemisphere, it was dayti here.

Or rather, it had been dayti.

Now, as the main body of the Star-devouring Touch descended, the once-clear sky was darkening, turning pitch black bit by bit.

The City Lords and subordinates of the other Refuge Cities in the Southern Hemisphere were panic-stricken.

"Wh-What the hell is that?"

"A Star System-Level Mutant Beast?"

"Could this be the legendary Star System-Level Mutant Beast?"

"..."

Crystal Mountain.

The group from Linglong City, who had witnessed the entire process firsthand, were now too stunned to even speak.

The main body of the Star-devouring Touch was hovering straight above them!

That crimson head, wreathed in black mist and blotting out the sun, bristled all over with eyes that stared straight in their direction.

"Hu...mans..."

Its voice echoed across the whole planet.

Because—

It had just seen its Splitting Avatar, those kiloter-long tentacles, thoroughly grilled to a charred crisp on a hotplate.

It had anticipated its Splitting Avatar might run into danger, that’s why it called for help from the main body.

But...

It never imagined that in the short ti it took to arrive, the Splitting Avatar would already have been utterly destroyed.

And died such a grueso death, too.

Whether it was the main body or the avatars, the Star-devouring Touch had always loved water and hated fire.

To be roasted alive by flas—there was no crueler tornt, period.

"Yo?"

"Finally here?"

Above the celestial vault, Light Wings unfurled behind Yu Jin.

His figure slowly rose into the sky.

Until...

He had nearly reached the edge of Venus’s atmosphere, now hovering at tens of thousands of ters—eye-level with the Star-devouring Touch’s true body.

"Hiss——!"

Down in the valley of Crystal Mountain—

The shellshocked Linglong City group just sat there, numb.

"B-Boss?"

"He just went up there?"

"Wait—"

"He’s not scared?"

Gao Sheng and the others didn’t get it, but they were absolutely blown away!

Even though they knew this thing’s appearance was all part of Boss’s plan—

But still...

The main body is obviously way overpowered!

This is Star System-level Combat Power already—a terror that could easily wipe an entire planet!

Sure, this Boss is strong enough to grill kiloter-long tentacles, but facing sothing this high-tier, even he should be backing off, right...

"Tier Sixteen!"

"Star-devouring Touch!"

Compared to Gao Sheng and the rest, City Lord Nangong Linglong gritted her teeth and spoke quietly.

This intel had co from the in-ga prompts in Wasteland.

[Beep Beep——]

["Wasteland" ga prompts you——]

[P-8808 Star Realm Dominator, Tier Sixteen Star System-Level Mutant Beast ’Star-devouring Touch’ has descended!]
