People are Behind the Scenes, and I Can Do the Material Fusion!

80: Swarm!In a large crater within some ruins, Yang Kaishan slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the now fully bright sky.

Although the matter was over, he could still vaguely feel the pain emanating from his entire body.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and his gaze fell on the two coffins embedded in the rock.

With a light stomp, Yang Kaishan instantly shot into the sky, so fast that even he couldn’t react in time.

Fortunately, as he approached, he quickly reached out and grabbed the two coffins, then, with extremely swift movements, slung them onto his back.

“Bang!”

Because he had jumped too high, it was a while before Yang Kaishan landed heavily.

The ground emitted a low tremor, and huge cracks even appeared in the land within a dozen meters.

Yang Kaishan clenched his fists, feeling his powerful strength.

Immediately, he found an abandoned building and lightly threw a punch.

“Boom!”

The immense force of the punch directly shattered the building in front of him, extending for tens of meters.

Yang Kaishan was stunned: “I didn’t add anything, this is pure strength, and it’s actually so powerful!”

Then, he felt inside his body and discovered that he seemed to have gained twelve new abilities—no, it should be thirteen!

Because his Star Mark had also changed.

Previously, his Star Mark could only increase some strength through starlight.

But now, two new abilities had been added: one allowed his attacks to carry blood energy, eroding the opponent’s body until death;

The other allowed him to increase his realm and strength by killing people and devouring their flesh and souls.

Of course, this was not without a price.

The more people he killed, the stronger his desire to kill and his desire to devour flesh would become.

If he killed too many people, he might even have his sanity devoured by desire, eventually becoming a slave to desire.

After understanding the new abilities of the Star Mark, Yang Kaishan fell into deep thought.

If it were his old self, he might have chosen to permanently seal off this dangerous ability and not use it.

But now…

He thought of the mockery from that guy before and the death of his teammates.

“This kind of ability is perfect for using against people like that.”

Yang Kaishan murmured in a low voice.

Yang Kaishan understood the thirteen abilities he had obtained from the golden blood pool with a little thought.

Those twelve abilities were definitely the abilities of the Twelve Zodiacs;

As for the last one, it was undoubtedly the ability of the Little Days.

Thinking of this, Yang Kaishan couldn’t help but sigh.

Although he also possessed this powerful ability, it was clear that this should be a weakened version.

The true power must still be with the Little Days, and it was countless times stronger than his own.

What did this mean?

It meant that the Twelve Zodiacs might now be facing a life-and-death crisis!

Yang Kaishan was powerless to help with this and could only silently pray in his heart that they would safely overcome the difficulties.

As soon as his thoughts settled, he immediately sprinted towards the Fukushima rendezvous point.

At this moment, his strength had greatly increased, especially his newfound “speed enhancement” ability—which was clearly Mao Tu’s.

Relying on this ability, he reached the rendezvous point in just over ten minutes.

However, the scene before him made him freeze.

“Kill! Kill quickly!”

“There are too many bugs! Where are they all coming from?”

“Where are the supports? Come heal us quickly!”

Confused shouts rose and fell.

Yang Kaishan scanned the area and quickly recognized the familiar faces—they were members of the Star Constellation Society, and there were even a few people he knew among them.

“These bugs… could it be that the Abyssal Mother Worm mentioned by the Twelve Zodiacs has fully awakened?”

An alarm bell rang in Yang Kaishan’s heart; he had no time to think further and instantly condensed a Starlight Blade, rushing into the swarm of bugs without hesitation.

Those originally ferocious man-eating bugs were as fragile as paper under his blade.

Every swing of the blade could shatter a dozen blood-red bug corpses.

“Old Yang?!” Several members who were struggling in battle all widened their eyes when they saw him, especially when they noticed the two coffins behind him, their faces filled with confusion.

Yang Kaishan didn’t explain, only nodded silently, the Starlight Blade in his hand dancing faster and more fiercely.

His addition instantly turned the tide; the precarious defense line finally stabilized.

After the defense line was secured, several members quickly rushed forward, searching for something on the ground…

After finding some, barely recognizable as clothes or flesh and blood remnants, they would directly try using a Revival Coin.

If it didn’t succeed, they would try the next one.

A few minutes later, more than ten members who were on the verge of death due to lack of Revival Coins were successfully rescued, along with some flesh and blood remnants that had been gnawed to pieces by bugs but were barely identifiable as human.

“Old Yang, you came just in time!” After all this was done, a Star Constellation Society member shouted excitedly,

“These bugs appeared out of nowhere, and we can’t stop them at all!”

However, the member’s expression immediately darkened: “Twenty-seven members have sacrificed themselves during this time because they didn’t have Revival Coins.”

“Ten of them have already exceeded an hour, and we haven’t found the flesh and blood tissues of the other seventeen yet.”

Yang Kaishan frowned upon hearing this.

He clearly knew that killing these bugs awarded points.

After killing ten bugs, the points in his body would automatically convert into a Revival Coin.

In a short while, he had already accumulated fifty Revival Coins.

With his current strength at the Hao Yue Upper-rank, this was enough for him to revive ten times.

Although these bugs were numerous, their strength was not great, so logically, not so many people should have died.

Even with fighting to sustain themselves, they had every opportunity to counterattack.

The member saw Yang Kaishan’s expression, naturally understanding what he was thinking, and sighed, saying:

“At first, we thought so too, but later there were too many bugs, and we were too few in number, so the front line was constantly pushed back.”

“Some members died too quickly, their bodies directly stuck in the swarm, and they were instantly devoured by the bugs right after reviving.”

“We don’t have enough strength to fight back, even if we still have Revival Coins now, we can only watch as their Revival Coins are completely depleted.”

“And some people were gnawed by the bugs without leaving even a trace of flesh and blood,” he added,

“Even if we had Revival Coins, we couldn’t find a target to revive.”

After hearing these words, a cold glint flashed in Yang Kaishan’s eyes.

He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the dense swarm of bugs ahead.

The Starlight Blade in his hand gleamed coldly, and Yang Kaishan slowly raised it, the blade emitting a dazzling light, as if echoing his resolve.

Suddenly, dense blood patterns appeared on Yang Kaishan’s body, and his aura instantly became violent.

He stepped forward without hesitation, rushing into the swarm of bugs like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, blade light splattered, and blood rained down.

Yang Kaishan wielded the Starlight Blade, drawing dazzling arcs in the air, each strike killing hundreds of bugs, tearing them to pieces.

Those bugs were powerless to retaliate against his attacks, easily cleared away like weeds.

As Yang Kaishan continuously advanced, the surrounding bugs became fewer and fewer, and his figure within the swarm became more and more dazzling.

In just a moment, all the bugs within a few thousand meters were cleared by him, none spared.

However, even with anger surging in his heart, Yang Kaishan temporarily retreated.

Especially seeing the other members’ hesitant expressions, he asked curiously:

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Hearing Yang Kaishan’s question, the previous member stepped forward and said: “These bugs are like us, they can’t be killed.”

“Don’t look at how many we’ve killed now, but their dropped flesh and blood will gather together again soon, forming new bugs.”

“Moreover, these newborn bugs will gain some enhancement in speed and strength compared to the previous ones.”
