Chapter 9: Devouring a Watermelon! Insane 096
“Ah?! Hahaha~ Hahaha~~ My, my king! Is this it?”
“I’m cracking up! I thought this guy was supposed to be something special, but it’s just this? Even our weakest warrior could take him down with a breeze!”
“My king, you seem to be losing your nerve. We could easily squash this insignificant person!”
“My king! Let me handle it! I’ll go deal with him!”
…
Seeing the image of the shy individual on the holographic projection, the Devourer commanders burst into laughter, almost shedding tears.
The shy individual appeared tall and thin, with pale skin, looking malnourished. His physique was similar to an average Devourer warrior, but his appearance would probably get him rejected from joining the Devourer civilization. He looked as if a strong wind could blow him away, genuinely comical.
The Devourer fleet’s surveillance also captured the appearance of the “shy individual,” displaying it clearly on the holographic projection of the round table.
In other words, they could not only see the sky’s projection from the windows but also see it on the holographic surveillance.
Of course, to avoid straining their necks, most Devourer commanders chose to watch the holographic projection. After all, it was clearer and less straining on their necks.
“You fools! Didn’t you read the text in the sky earlier? This guy… once his face is seen, he starts hunting!”
The Howling King was furiously annoyed. If it weren’t for his immense power, these Devourer subordinates might even try to kill him. They were undoubtedly a bunch of muscle-headed idiots!
“My king! You don’t believe this trick, do you?” A skeptical Devourer commander spoke up.
“Activate infrared vision, disable regular vision,” the Howling King ordered.
He was chosen as the civilization’s king by Karl not only for his exceptional combat talent but also for his extraordinary meticulous thinking and cautious personality.
The Howling King switched to infrared vision and refused to look at the surveillance, keeping his eyes on the sky.
“Beep~”
Just as he switched his vision mode, one of the idiotic commanders activated the starship’s sonic attack function.
Instantly, sonic waves spread in all directions from the starship’s center, shattering passing asteroids with incredible speed. And the solitary ‘096’ sitting on the starship’s armor seemed startled, turning its head and looking up.
In an instant, on the surveillance projection of the round table, a profoundly unsettling face appeared. The complexion of these self-proclaimed mentally strong Devourer commanders changed instantly upon seeing it.
“What the heck! That’s one hell of a dead face!”
“It’s unbelievably ugly! Uglier than us Devourers!”
“Who said Devourers are ugly!! But this thing isn’t even afraid of sonic attacks?!”
“Damn, it’s even screaming now?”
“How is this possible? It’s like the sound is coming from inside my head!”
The Devourers vented their anger with curses.
In the surveillance footage, 096 immediately realized its face had been seen and emitting ear-piercing screams and cries.
It’s unbelievable! We’re in space!
Sound shouldn’t exist here. But strangely, these sounds seemed to bypass the starship’s soundproofing and reached the Devourers’ ears, who had seen its face clearly.
Only now did these Devourer commanders inexplicably feel a spine-chilling sensation.
It’s bizarre!
Incredibly bizarre.
This strange voice…
“Damn it! My king! I volunteer to take care of this thing! It scared the Devourers!” A Devourer warlord cursed angrily, feeling ashamed of his recent display of cowardice.
After all, for the Devourer civilization, they didn’t fear death. They even revered it because death meant returning to the embrace of our God, Karl! But he didn’t finish his sentence.
Boom, Boom, Boom~~ Sudden violent impacts came from outside.
“What?! What’s happening outside?!”
“Hiss— That… that damn thing disappeared! Damn, why is it not outside?!”
“Could it be…”
Many Devourers’ expressions slightly changed.
In the surveillance projection, 096 had already vanished from space.
In a tremendous noise, the adjacent alloy wall distorted slightly, and then… that strange and chilling figure abruptly appeared in front of the previously boasting Devourer commander.
The two faced each other. The atmosphere in the entire conference room became exceptionally eerie.
“Fuck you!! Damn thing!!” The Devourer commander pulled out an energy gun and began firing wildly at 096.
096 let out a piercing and chilling scream as it lunged forward. Its body was pierced and shattered by energy bullets. Yet, it remained, like a face hugger, clinging to the face of the Devourer commander.
And amidst the horrified gazes of all the Devourers, Crack~ Opening its enormous, grotesque, bloody maw, it forcefully bit through the immensely sturdy Devourer battle armor as if biting into a watermelon.
Right in front of everyone, it gnawed on this unfortunate Devourer from head to toe. Ignoring the furious roars of the surrounding Devourers, regardless of the torrential barrage raining down upon it, it still refused to release its grip despite its body being blasted to pieces.
Ratatatatat~ The entire conference room was filled with the intertwining sounds of gunfire. All the Devourer commanders attacked as if they had gone mad.
