Ipnos was very satisfied with the current situation. At this rate, he would only need half a day at most to take down Chelsi.
It was not that Aliya could not transfer the insectoids back. After all, they were two neighboring star systems, and it would not take long for them to return.
However, the problem was that Aliya's previous strategy was to trade numbers for time.
Therefore, since they were sent to be cannon fodder and controlled from afar, there was naturally no need for the King Insectoids to go.
Then came the problem …
Could the insectoid combat insectoids in the Xassar or Vitala Star Systems … Could they open a tunnel to the insectoid hive and rush back?
The answer was no. Only King Insectoids and Imperial Insectoids could open a tunnel to the insectoid hive!
Therefore, it was very awkward.
She had troops … but they could not return … at least not in a short period of time!
However, there was at least one thing that could give Aliya some comfort, and that was …
Even if Ipnos succeeded in hitting her weak spot, it was impossible for him to kill her before the Federation fleet arrived.
What she needed to do was …
Take the King Insectoid away from the main battlefield, and have the combat insectoids and insectoids stall the enemy. She did not need much time, just an hour!
Originally, with Chelsi's meager forces, it was impossible to stall the Purgatory Legion for an entire hour.
However, in order to launch a surprise attack on the insectoids' rear and avoid the threat of the Voidreavers to the greatest extent, Ipnos only brought his 100 million descendant Void Dragons for this attack. He did not bring any of his other Rank 7 leader-class creatures.
Therefore, even if Aliya wanted to use the Voidreavers, she had no way of doing it.
After all, the Voidreavers were completely ineffective against Ipnos, who had reached Rank 8. They also had no parasitic value to the Void Dragons under his command.
It should be noted that it was not easy to cultivate the Voidreavers. Otherwise, they would not have only parasitized a few thousand humans for so many years.
Therefore, it was meaningless to only parasitize a few hundred or a thousand descendant Void Dragons.
An hour.
No, it was not even an hour. Other than the 20 or so Rank 1 King Insectoids that were sacrificed to block the attack for Aliya, Chelsi's insectoids had already lost more than 300 super-sized insectoids. Among them, more than 30 were insectoids of various ranks.
This shocked Aliya. She originally thought that she had calculated Ipnos combat strength to be high enough, but now, it seemed that she had underestimated it by quite a bit.
Now, let alone half a day, they would be thankful if they could hold out for three hours.
Fortunately …
He didn't need to hold on for that long because … Time was up!
On the main battlefield, Ipnos relied on his newly promoted Tier 8 strength to become a god. No one, no insect, could last more than a minute in front of him!
It was as if it had an endless supply of energy. Terrifying beams of light shot out of its mouth continuously, sweeping away one insect swarm after another!
Aliya, Aliya, Aliya, Aliya, with Aliya, Aliya,, Aliya, Aliya, Aliya, Aliya, Aliya, Aliya's, Alialiya, Alialialiya, Aliya!
They had provided sufficient firepower support for their leaders!

The Universe's
Located at the forefront of the Federation's fleet was the Underworld Fleet's flagship, the Merlowe.
"Commander, we are about to arrive at the Wills Super Star Cluster. Time: three minutes!"
"Sound the battleship's combat alarm. Level 1 combat deployment!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Combat team, activate the battleship DEAC and transfer control to me!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The entire battleship, the entire bridge, and especially the members of the combat team quickly got busy.
"Battleship DEAC device activated … Synchronization rate steadily increasing … 55% … 78% … 97.8% …"
"Synchronization rate has reached the activation standard. Battleship DEAC activation complete … Device operating normally. Commencing transfer of control!"
"Control has been transferred. Commander, please confirm!"
As soon as the combat team leader's voice fell, the ground in front of Lin Yu suddenly opened up, and then a sci-fi looking console rose from it.
Placing his hands on the console, Lin Yu slowly closed his eyes!
"Commencing transfer of control … Control has been confirmed!"
"Navigation team, commencing the countdown to disengaging from the ocean current!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Ten seconds … 9 … 8 … 3 … 2 … 1 … 0, disengaging!"
The originally pitch-black darkness outside the porthole gradually revealed a trace of light after the Merlowe began to disengage from the ocean current, allowing the scenery outside to be reflected in everyone's eyes.
The void that was supposed to be pitch black was now brightly lit. Countless energy rays were constantly streaking across the void, bringing light and … death to this part of the starry sky!
Just as Lin Yu appeared without any concealment, Aliya and Ipnos felt at the same time that there was a terrifying existence in that direction. It could even … pose a huge threat to them, and it was an absolute threat to their survival. They could not help but look at the exit of the Chels' ocean current node.
If the first moment she saw the Merlowe, Aliya was amazed by the strength of this battleship, then Ipnos' face was full of ferocity.
This style …
This emblem …
How could Ipnos forget!
A year ago, this was the group that fooled him for two whole months and hid like a mouse, not revealing themselves!
With a furious roar, Ipnos directly gave up on the area in front of him that was once again filled with combat bugs. His scarlet eyes stared at the battleship that had just appeared from the ocean current!
The distance was only 1AU. He opened his mouth and energy madly gathered in front of him. However, this time, the energy gathering time was obviously longer than before, and the energy gathering in front of him made Aliya, who was paying attention, feel her scalp tingle!
This was much more terrifying than all the attacks that Ipnos had released before. They were not on the same level at all.
It was only then that Aliya realized that until now, Ipnos had not used his full strength at all.
After spending twice as much time as the previous attack, Ipnos finally finished charging for this attack. A ray of red and black intertwined with destructive power shot out in an instant and flew towards the Merloh.
At the same time, on the Merlowe!
"Detected target number one, distance 1AU."
"Detected target is accumulating energy, suspected to be an attack. Based on modeling, the target is our ship!"
On the radar team's side, the team leader reported loudly to Lin Yu.
His eyes were still closed, and his hands placed on the control panel did not even move.
"DEAC is operating normally, beginning construction of multiple dark energy barriers …"
"Construction complete!"
"All ships, prepare for impact …"
