Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 932 - 657: Anti-Bai E Behemoth (Part 2)

Tumbling down alongside the vile green acid was a crimson giant beast that exuded a sinister sense of oppression.

Its form was even more massive and robust than a Dominator, carrying the weighty sensation akin to a Nest Guardian.

However, its crimson chitin bone armor was identical to the Dominator's, though with additional intricate patterns.

Like the Dominator, it had six arms, but they were not all bone blades; instead, they were more targeted composite weapons:

Two arms resembled the Dominator's gigantic bone blades, two ended in prism carapace shields capable of refracting attacks, similar to a Dominator variant, and the last two arms mutated into massive, pincer-like structures with corrosive liquid secretion ports.

Upon spotting Bai E and the others, the beast did not scream like the other Bug Race creatures they'd encountered before.

It merely turned silently, its six disparate arms aimed at Bai E and the other intruders.

As Bai E was locked by those cold, indifferent eyes, he faintly heard a hollow, frightening voice—

"You may call me, the Arbiter!"

It even knew about his ability to sense the nest network?

Bai E realized that this giant beast before him might have been born specifically for him.

But time was not on humanity's side, as the sticky sound of jointed limbs approached massively from the nearby fleshy corridor.

Remington's "Thunderstorm Monarch" charged forward first, trying to break through with an Ion Shield slam and heavy cannon bombardment.

However, the Arbiter's two prism shields raised precisely, not only deflecting the cannon fire but their special structure even absorbed and dispersed some of the ion energy.

Meanwhile, a bone blade sliced toward the shield's edge with Dominator-like precision and speed while another corrosive pincer sinisterly reached for the Mecha's leg joints.

Catherine's "Silver Feather" sniper rifle roared, with specially crafted Spiritual Armor-Piercing Bullets tracing a streak of light.

But when the bullet hit the predetermined area on the opponent's breastplate, it failed to penetrate as hoped and only erupted into a dazzling spark on the thickened and structurally specialized bone armor, leaving just a shallow dent.

The Arbiter didn't even look at her, a prism shield adjusted slightly, encompassing the possible paths of follow-up shots within its defensive range.

Xing Hen and Buton attempted a flanking maneuver, but the Arbiter's massive body along with preemptive sweeps of its pincers and interference with active tendrils in the chamber blocked them from cutting in.

Its actions were efficient and ruthless, like a killing machine executing a fixed program, each move treading on the Mecha squad's ideal path as anticipated.

After observing shortly, Bai E's Mecha transformed into a streak of blue-white light.

Swift-Strike protocol engaged, nine slashes hurtling towards the Arbiter's head, joints, and other critical node areas from various angles.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Sssshhh—!"

The intense clash of metal and the sound of energy erosion resounded sharply.

Most of the slashes were blocked by bone blades or shields, while the few that hit the carapace embedded deeply into those specialized proliferating structures, unable to cause the intended damage.

Only one slash grazed a relatively weaker joint connection, sparking flames and some biological tissue.

Its defense nearly perfectly sealed off all efficient attack paths for Bai E.

From the first encounter, Xing Hen realized they were in big trouble.

"Conventional attacks are futile; its shell is too hard, and it seems to know where we will strike!"

"It's more than just knowing." Bai E calmly analyzed, maneuvering the Mecha to narrowly avoid a pincers' combined attack, "It has turned 'the ways we succeeded in harming the Bug Race' into its hardest places. It is using our past to defend against our present."

The Bug Race had always possessed top-tier learning abilities, something Bai E was well aware of.

But what this Arbiter demonstrated might have even absorbed the entire growth process Bai E went through while facing the Bug Race on the planet—it was so familiar with him, possibly even more than himself.

The battle fell into a stalemate.

All the squad's attacks seemed anticipated by the enemy, resolved or endured one by one.

Meanwhile, the opponent's methodical rhythm combined with its terrifying power and defense relentlessly added scars to the Mechas.

Remington's shield started to crack, Catherine needed to constantly change positions to find new vantage points, and Xing Hen and Buton's maneuvering space was further compressed.

"We can't keep going like this!" Bai E's gaze was sharp as a blade.

Facing this monster that concentrated all experiences of past confrontations against him, any previously used, recorded techniques would have greatly reduced effectiveness.

To defeat it, they must wield something not stored in its database.

Or… use absolute force to hammer out a gap in its specialized defense that it couldn't patch with 'past experiences'!

Bai E's gaze swept over the struggling teammates, past the flashing alarm lights on their Mechas.

A makeshift strategy formed in his mind.

"Everyone, listen up!" Bai E's voice was firm and resolute, "Abandon the probing, concentrate firepower! Remington, maximum power ion surge, hit its frontal shield, provide as much distraction as possible! Catherine, switch to high-explosive rounds, hit the fungal mat and support points underneath it to break its balance! Xing Hen, Buton, Dragon Roar, hold its side arms, create an opportunity for Remington!"

"Understood!" The five responded in unison, immediately changing tactics.

Remington's "Thunderstorm Monarch" madly channeled Ion Shield energy towards the main cannon, a massive ion torrent blasting at the Arbiter's prism shield.

Catherine's sniper rifle loaded special rounds, continuously striking the fleshy ground and joint connections beneath the Arbiter.

Xing Hen, Buton, and Dragon Roar attacked frantically on the Arbiter's flank, forcing it to split focus and defend.

This set of combined attacks was not directly lethal but rather tactical interference and suppression.

Facing an experience amalgam, they employed a new tactical approach through teamwork and battlefield conditions.

The Arbiter's response remained precise, but faced with such a multi-target, multi-type saturation interference, its built-in "optimal solution" response exhibited a brief, extremely short delay—

It had never encountered such targeted "field control."

At this moment!

Bai E's Mecha thrusted into full power, pushing the "Insect Race Killer" perception to its limit.

He no longer aimed for those commonly weak points with specialized defense but focused his spiritual perception like a sharp cone, combining the instincts of the Insect Race Killer, viciously stabbing into the Arbiter's core!

Meanwhile, he recalled the first time he fought alongside Catherine.

The skill she had employed, seeking the utmost frequency and concentrated striking…

"Now! Everyone, aim for its core!" Bai E's voice was resolute, "Alpha Limit Overclock Attack—full power!"

Bai E's voice always became the absolute anchor during critical moments, and the six stylistically diverse Mechas synchronized their most threatening strikes almost simultaneously.

Six different types of attacks, yet each equally exerting full force, during the Arbiter's brief delay caused by tactical interference, resonated in attack with millisecond precision, converging on its most confident defensive layer!

"Buzz buzz buzz—Boom!!!"

First, the buzzing of high-frequency energy impact, followed by the explosive crash of defensive structures reaching their limits!

The layers of specialized bone plates over the Arbiter's chest finally forced open and shattered under such concentrated, fierce compound attacks!

The Bug Race core beneath, stripped of its surface defenses, lay exposed under Bai E's blade tip.

A glint of fierce determination flashed in Bai E's eyes, using his last strength to drive the blade harshly into the enemy's flesh!

"Puff—Boom!"

The terrifying convergence of mechanical force and spiritual energy exploded from within the Arbiter, tearing its massive body apart from the inside out!

And realizing its meticulously crafted 'anti-Bai E giant beast' was once again eradicated, the imminent demise of its sentient consciousness resonated as the Mother Worm let out its final spiritual screech.
