Chapter 1052
Monster: Let's Unite!
"Target spotted! Repeat! Target spotted!!!"
The urgent shouts of the reconnaissance personnel broke the brief pre-battle silence. The moment Homga's massive silhouette appeared on the monitoring screen, the Victory Team's fighter jets, ground combat troops, and all personnel involved in the operation instantly went into a state of emergency.
Holy crap... this monster is outrageous!
On the screen, Homga radiated a visibly intense red light, the surrounding rocks sizzling and melting, and the ground crackling with charred marks. The aura of destruction emanating from it was suffocating, even through the screen. Everyone clenched their fists, no one daring to relax even slightly—they all knew that if this monster were to complete its energy buildup, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as the battle orders were about to be finalized, a slender female figure appeared without warning in front of Homga, standing between the human troops and the monster.
"Wait a minute!" the woman's voice was shrill and piercing, highly inflammatory. "Can't you even listen to the monster's cries? It just wants to survive! Why are you all so selfish! Why do you have to kill it all?!"
This sudden obstruction caused the combat troops to pause for a moment, and all eyes were focused on the woman—the female elf who was the transformed form of Homgar's cougar.
"Hit me!!!"
Cui Ming's voice, without the slightest hesitation, traveled directly through the communication channel to all combat units, instantly breaking the brief pause. He knew all too well the female elf's tricks; the so-called "listening to the monster's voice" was nothing but a delaying tactic. He couldn't give Homgar even the slightest chance to catch his breath.
The moment the command was given, countless attacks rained down on the target! Laser beams ripped through the sky, precisely locking onto the female elf and Holmga; missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, roared in, exploding in the air with blinding light; incendiary bombs poured down in dense bursts, forming a high-temperature fire net.
More importantly, these weapons are all specially designed to counter Homgar's characteristics—the coating incorporates a special anti-energy absorption material, preventing Homgar's fangs from absorbing attack energy and completely eliminating its possibility of becoming stronger by absorbing attacks.
"Boom! Sizzle—"
The dense attacks struck instantly. The female elf, who was still yelling "selfish," didn't even have a chance to react before being shattered into dust and turning into a dissipating black mist.
Before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, the black mist reformed on the spot, and the female elf reappeared, her face twisted with rage: "How can you humans be so selfish! Why won't you give it a way out!"
"Is this never going to end?" Cui Ming's eyes darkened, and he was about to order an increase in firepower when the ground suddenly shook violently, several times more violently than the shock caused by the heat emanating from Homga.
boom! ! !
A deafening roar echoed from afar, and another equally massive monster burst from the ground, its body billowing with dust and debris as it charged menacingly. Everyone's hearts tightened, assuming it was Homgar's accomplice. The combat troops immediately adjusted their artillery, preparing for a new battle. But the next second, everyone froze—this suddenly appearing monster wasn't there to attack humans! It charged straight at Homgar, its enormous claws slashing down fiercely at Homgar's back!
That's right! The monsters have come to help too!!!
The monster that came to help was Telestone.
Normally, Thales lies dormant deep underground year-round, keeping to itself and its distance from humans and other creatures on the surface. Even when it occasionally appears, it never initiates conflict. But this time, it launched an attack, and with a clear target—heading straight for Holmga!
The reason couldn't be simpler: except for that bastard Holmga!!!
The intense heat emanating from Homga while it was hiding had already penetrated the rock layers and seeped into the ground, not only disturbing Telestone's habitat, but also posing a deadly threat with its invasive, extinct aura. For such creatures that would destroy an entire area and ruthlessly plunder the living space of other organisms in their pursuit of reproduction, Telestone's dictionary contained only one word—they must die!
Without any communication, without any agreement, and without even exchanging glances, at this moment, everyone and every combat unit instantly reached a tacit understanding and chose to cooperate!
The human combat forces immediately adjusted their attack angle, precisely concentrating their firepower that was originally locked onto Homgar's entire body to avoid Telestone's attack trajectory, while simultaneously increasing their suppression of Homgar's weak points; Telestone, taking advantage of its innate ability to move underground, nimbly circled around to Homgar's side, and its huge claws slammed into Homgar's radiating high-temperature back, leaving deep marks on its rough skin with its sharp claws.
At this moment, humans and monsters united!
The specialized laser beams and the roar of missiles, the howls of Telestone, and the pained howls of Homga intertwined, instantly transforming the initial one-way suppression into a full-scale encirclement. The noose of death had tightened, and Homga, once despised by the entire biosphere, was now utterly isolated and helpless, its previous arrogant plundering gone.
And it wasn't just Telestone; other monsters came too.
The tremors on the ground grew more intense, and more than one section of rock was breached—some monsters charged from the depths of the dense forest, bringing with them howling winds; others burst forth from the lake, splashing water everywhere; still others, like Telestone, emerged from the ground, their bodies covered in thick mud and rocks. They varied in form and habits, but all shared the same goal: to approach Homgar.
To put it bluntly, Homga is just too outrageous.
Which monster that has survived to this day hasn't struggled through brutal competition for survival? They might fight for territory, or be wary of humans, but they all have basic survival principles. But Homga is different. Its very existence is a threat to all living things—in order to reproduce, it can destroy all life in an entire area, plunder all resources, and even completely erase the living space of other creatures.
This kind of creature, so outrageous it defies the laws of biological survival, has long been considered a "public enemy" in the monster world. Which monster that has survived to this day doesn't know how absurd Homga is? Doesn't it know that if it's allowed to live, its next "reproductive sacrifice" might be its own habitat?
Therefore, no communication, no agreement, not even any signal was needed. As more and more monsters arrived on the battlefield, the human combat forces instantly grasped this tacit understanding—
Humans and monsters! Unite!
The flashes of specialized weapons blazed again, precisely dodging the approaching horde of monsters and locking onto Homgar's vitals; Telestone's giant claws were still tearing at Homgar's back, and the newly arrived monsters immediately joined the battle: some rammed Homgar with their thick limbs, some bit with their sharp fangs, and some unleashed their unique attack skills, blocking all of Homgar's escape routes from all directions.
The once fearsome Homga, which struck terror into the biosphere, was now completely surrounded and in dire straits. Its intense heat and flames were rendered ineffective by the combined attacks, and its energy-absorbing fangs were suppressed by specialized weapons. It could only roar and struggle in vain amidst countless assaults; its former arrogance had been utterly replaced by despair. (End of Chapter)
