Chapter 589: Behemoth
After really seeing these so-called "giant beasts", Dio understood why the introduction of this kind of zerg by "Cyberthiras XXXVII" seemed so simple.
Because none of these "giant beasts" have the same appearance at all!
To be precise, apart from the fact that they are all extremely large, these "behemoths" have little in common.
One of the first "Behemoths" to be noticed by Dio looked like an enhanced version of the "Beetle", which also had an extremely thick carapace. However, compared to the smooth carapace of ordinary "beetles", the carapace of this "giant beast" is covered with spikes, and the spikes also have a strange dark green luster, obviously carrying some kind of toxin!
In addition, the "giant beast" does not have two pincers around its mouth, but instead has two long pincers sticking out of the mouth of this "giant beast".
It seems that this "monster" is the role of playing the defensive counterattack tactics to the end......
As Dio expected, even those legendary big demons or big devils whose strength is above this "giant beast" have a headache when they see this "giant beast".
It's really like a mouse pulling a turtle and not knowing where to start.
However, while possessing too strong defensive capabilities, the other aspects of this "giant beast" are naturally weakened. While the speed of action is too slow, the lethality of the only attack organ "pliers" is really not flattering.
So after confirming that this product was actually not much of a threat, the surrounding demon powerhouses bypassed this "giant beast" one after another, and directly regarded it as a large obstacle.
Although this large obstacle is actually moving on its own......
Compared with this "giant beast", the results obtained by another "giant beast" with a relatively similar shape are more brilliant.
It was a "giant beast" that resembled a giant spider.
Similar to the previous "giant beast", this spider-like "giant beast" is also wrapped in a very thick carapace, but this "giant beast" has eight slender and thick insect legs.
This "giant beast", which does not have offensive organs such as "pincers", relies on these eight spiked insect feet to come and go freely throughout the battlefield.
Although its spikes did not carry toxins, the sheer size of the beast allowed it to achieve a lot of results just by constantly moving.
All the demons or void zergs who were bumped into by this "giant beast" were all directly knocked away by it, and some unlucky eggs were completely lost their vitality before they were knocked away because they were pierced by those spikes.
However, although the combat effectiveness of this product is quite good, its weaknesses are as obvious as those ordinary spiders.
A great demon who successfully approached this "giant beast" took up the scythe very decisively, specifically aimed at the joints with weak protection, and soon succeeded in removing all four legs on the side of this "giant beast".
Without one leg, this "giant beast" could only fall to the ground and struggle desperately, and was soon taken away by other demon powerhouses.
Without focusing on the fate of the second "giant beast", Dio quickly turned his attention to the third giant beast.
Unlike the first two behemoths, this third "behemoth" is more slender and looks like an enlarged version of a centipede, except that it has spikes on its legs and carapace.
Because it has dozens of legs underneath, the speed of this "giant beast" is also dissatisfied, and this thing can also spit out acid blobs of various sizes from its mouth, making this "giant beast" even more threatening than the previous spider-shaped "giant beast".
However, this guy's weakness is just as obvious.
A great demon quickly jumped onto the head of the "giant beast", and after avoiding those dangerous spikes, he directly attacked the neck of the "giant beast", and soon separated the head of the "giant beast".
But after the head fell off, this "giant beast" did not die, but gathered in the same place, and then struggled desperately.
Dozens of sharp insect feet waved wildly, directly tearing the surrounding demons and Void Zerg to pieces.
This dying struggle did not last long, and the "giant beast" that gradually lost its vitality soon stopped moving, and the surviving demons and void zergs quickly ignored the huge corpse and collided again.
The fourth "Behemoth" is a giant beetle with three beetle heads like the Three-Headed Hellhound. What's a little funny is that the three heads of this "giant beast" obviously didn't reach a consensus, and as a result, no demon powerhouse attacked it, so this thing just killed itself because it beat itself......
Seeing Dior was a little ridiculous.
The fifth "Behemoth" is a very fat giant worm, which moves very slowly, but with a large mouth, it is unusually agile when it pounces on its prey.
Sixth, seventh, eighth......
After looking around the entire battlefield and looking at all the "giant beasts" that were still alive, Dio couldn't help frowning.
These "giant beasts" present, in addition to the fact that they also have extremely large sizes, only the very thick carapace is relatively similar. However, due to the difference in appearance, the specific distribution and thickness of the carapace of these "giant beasts" are also significantly different.
At the very least, after watching all the "giant beasts" once, Dio couldn't find out how much these "giant beasts" had in common.
This is obviously not a very reasonable thing to do.
Because judging from the behavior patterns of these "giant beasts", they are also "chess pieces" that can be consumed at will, just like those "jumping insects" and "beetles". The only difference is that it may take a little more resources to create a "behemoth".
In this case, it is most reasonable to mass-produce the "giant beast" with the same template as those "jumping insects" and "beetles".
However, judging from the bizarre appearance of these "behemoths", it is clear that they are not the kind of mass-produced goods, so the problem arises......
Is it impossible for the queen of the Void Zerg to mass-produce "giant beasts"? Or is the current "Behemoth" only at the stage of "trial production"?
Looking at the increasingly fierce melee, Dio's brows in the onlookers never let go.
He still didn't know much about the Void Zerg, and he didn't have enough information available, so after thinking silently for a long time, he could only come to an obvious conclusion after all.
That's ...... The current Void Zerg didn't use all their strength!
Although the military strength of several times that of the demon race is already quite exaggerated, but in the case that those demon kings did not make a move, the situation can still be very reluctantly maintained at a comparable stage, which is obviously not the strength that the Void Zerg should be able to capture half of the demon realm in a very short period of time.
The only possibility is that the current Void Zerg is not attacking the demons with all their might.
And why the Void Zerg did this, there are really many possible answers.
For example, the Void Zerg are doing something else, or they are preparing to ambush the Demon Kings or something.
The reason why those demon kings haven't made a move until now is probably because they have the same concerns.
The demon kings who are high above are the true pillars of the demon world.
Not only in terms of military support, but also demon kings such as Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies, are also the most cunning demons. Their existence is the fundamental reason why the entire demon race can still maintain a certain degree of morale after half of the demon world has been captured by the Void Zerg.
But once even these demon kings usher in a complete defeat, then the morale of the demon soldiers below will probably plummet and completely lose their fighting spirit.
Maybe it's because of this that those demon kings haven't made a move for a long time.
However, they don't really have much time.
Although the soldiers of the demon clan are extremely strong, their ability to withstand them is also limited.
Take the Terran army as an example, after the fall of two percent of the soldiers, the remaining soldiers can still continue to fight the legion can be called elite.
Whether it is a warlike demon or a hierarchical devil, the endurance of the demon army formed by them is obviously far higher than that of the human army. But in the end, the endurance of the demon legion still has a specific bottom line.
The average demon army may be able to withstand more than fifty percent of the attrition, while those elite troops of the demon race can withstand more than seventy percent of the casualties, and even all of them can fight to the death without retreating.
This is exactly the terrible thing about the demons.
However, now that most of the Demon Realm has been captured by the Void Zerg, although the remaining Demon Legion can still continue to fight, its morale will inevitably decline a lot.
Once the morale of these demon legions falls to the bottom, they don't even need to fall to the bottom, they only need to fall below a certain limit, and the morale of the entire demon legion may collapse, resulting in the collapse of the entire defense line......
Therefore, after noticing that there was a gap in a certain section of the defensive line, Dio, who had put all those speculations in his heart for the time being, turned his head and looked at Asterius very seriously: "Asterius! Are you interested in going to the battlefield? ”
"Huh?"
Asterioston, who was teasing a small flower unique to the Demon Realm, was stunned, and "Cyberthiras XXXVII" and Buck, who also heard Dio's words, were also a question mark.
"It's not enough to just observe from a distance."
Dio shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly: "If I can, I still want to get some bug corpses to study carefully, so it's safer." ”
“…… All right! ”
Tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Asterius readily agreed.
