Chapter 674: Unfolding
The Annihilation Insectoids swarmed out in full force, launching a frenzied purge on the nearest Andromeda Galaxy.
These insectoids, varied in appearance and abilities, possessed the power to devour everything and were filled with a thirst for killing towards all life they encountered.
As the dominant power in the Andromeda Galaxy, the Skrulls were the first to suffer, with countless planets being annihilated by the insectoids' sudden assault. Even with their fleets, which had been pursuing the Kree, rushing back, the Andromeda Galaxy was falling at an alarming rate.
The vast and truly boundless Annihilation Insectoids moved through the vacuum of space, forming an ocean of insectoids that frenziedly devoured all matter and destroyed all life forms.
The Skrulls possessed a large arsenal of high-tech weapons, and their ranks contained many powerhouses, yet they were still utterly overwhelmed by the sheer numbers.
Furthermore, the Annihilation Insectoids had no shortage of powerhouses, completely crushing the Skrulls in terms of both quality and quantity.
The Skrulls suffered a major defeat, with huge armies lost on the battlefield, numerous planets falling and being destroyed by the Annihilation Insectoids.
The Kree chose this moment to act, directly mobilizing their armies to attack the Annihilation Insectoids. Under the command of the Supreme Intelligence, all Kree suppressed the hatred in their hearts and launched an assault on the Annihilation Insectoids.
Many smaller civilizations and races also fought to the death, striving to kill more insectoids.
But it was no use; the number of insectoids was simply too vast. From the immense Negative Zone, insectoids that had accumulated for untold billions of years swarmed out in a torrent.
It was precisely at this dire moment that an elite unit was moving through the dark space.
"I said, Captain, how long are we going to keep this up? We're the Wreckers, an assault unit, not scouts like Bumblebee and his crew!"
Bulkhead was somewhat impatient. His personality was as valiant as his vehicle mode, akin to a Hummer. He wouldn't have spoken like this if he wasn't truly annoyed.
Captain Pinpointer's tone was calm and steady: "We have less than a thousand warriors. Rash action is the worst possible course; it would doom our entire team."
Sea Spray, the team's troublemaker, let out a chuckle, though his voice held a hint of displeasure: "An assault unit turned stealth unit? Shouldn't we be facing a swarm of insectoids, then charging in with battle cries to unleash slaughter?"
Sea Spray punched and kicked on the spot, striking a standard combat pose.
Bulkhead chimed in, "Plus, we have reinforcements. Optimus Prime and Megatron will support various battlefields at any moment; that's what space bridges are for."
Pinpointer fell silent, gazing out at the darkness beyond the spaceship.
Behind him, over nine hundred team members, emitting powerful auras and energy signatures, awaited his command.
The Wreckers were a formidable unit belonging to Cybertron. Even their weakest members possessed level three combat power. The team was composed of exceptional elites, with every member being a super warrior chosen through rigorous selection.
The Wreckers' mission was to enter all kinds of dangerous locations and undertake extremely demanding tasks.
As captain, Pinpointer naturally felt immense pressure. He not only had to avoid dooming the team but also lead as many warriors as possible to survive on the battlefield.
A swarm of Annihilation Insectoids had just destroyed a life planet and set their sights on the Wreckers' spaceship.
"Prepare for combat!"
Pinpointer's gaze turned cold as he commanded.
The numerous cannons on the entire spaceship began to glow, and a volley of heavy cannons launched an attack, unleashing a carpet bombing on the Annihilation Insect Swarm.
Each light pillar unleashed could always take thousands of insectoid lives, but the insect swarm's greatest asset was its numbers. A few thousand casualties meant nothing; the insectoids paid no mind to their fallen comrades.
The corpses of their fallen comrades became food for other insectoids, devoured by the ruthless swarm.
Massive insect swarms approached, surging wildly towards the spaceship.
"There are too many of them! Over ten million already!"
"There are insectoids with spatial abilities hiding within the insect swarm!"
"Kill these creatures!"
Bulkhead leaped out of the spaceship, landing on its side hull. Numerous weapons extended from his thick, rugged chassis. In one hand, Bulkhead wielded an energy cannon, unleashing a frenzied bombardment upon the insect swarm.
"Come on, you disgusting things! I'm having roasted insectoids for dinner tonight!"
Dozens of team members gathered around Bulkhead, forming a crossfire network, coordinating with the spaceship's main cannons to hunt down any insectoids that slipped through.
The sheer number of insectoids was truly overwhelming. In the dark vacuum of space, only dense swarms of figures could be seen encircling them, launching attacks on the spaceship with fearless disregard for death.
More and more insectoids broke through the firepower net, swarming onto the spaceship.
Bulkhead adjusted his battle helmet, tossed aside the firearms unsuited for close-quarters combat, and drew his favorite melee weapon—his maul. Immense power allowed him to swing the maul with ease, and each rapid swing sent several insectoids flying.
Through his electronic optics, Bulkhead clearly scanned the life signatures of the insectoids. To Bulkhead, even fighting in space was no different than battling in broad daylight; he could clearly discern the movements of every single insectoid, even seeing the fuzz on their bodies.
The Transformer chassis design was inherently suited for combat; every individual was a born warrior.
More and more insectoids broke through, engaging the Transformers on the spaceship's surface. This was an extremely difficult and protracted battle.
The number of insectoids was immense. If ordinary beings were to face such a large number of enemies, they would have long since been exhausted to death. However, the Transformers' endurance was astonishingly strong. The spaceship also stored vast amounts of super energy crystals; Transformers whose energy ran out could immediately enter the spaceship to devour energy cubes and continue fighting.
Strictly speaking, this clash between the Wreckers and the Annihilation Insect Swarm was the first battle to erupt between Cybertron and the Annihilation Insectoids, serving as a prelude, with everything merely preparation for a larger, more expansive war.
Pinpointer stood in the spaceship's command center, coldly observing the situation and listening to Ultron's report on casualties.
"Ten warriors have already been swept away by the insect swarm, most likely dead," Ultron reported.
"Have all the relevant data on the insect swarm been collected?" Pinpointer asked.
"Yes, they have been collected and loaded into the Iacon Archives and the confidential documents of the War Staff Department."
"Good. Have all warriors withdraw. This game is over; there's no need to drag it out any further," Pinpointer commanded.
The more exciting part was to unfold on Earth. Their task was merely a probing action. Not far from the Wreckers' position, a massive legion had already assembled, quietly awaiting the arrival of the insect swarm.
