Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monster Horde

As for Bemstar and Ace Robot, they could still play around with the Tyrant insects for a while. Neither of them had used their single enhancement opportunity yet.

If Red King could evolve into an EX form, or if a Sphere Core was directly used to turn him into a Sphere Fusion Beast, he would gain long-range abilities.

Enhancing his height one more time would push Red King's normal form to its absolute limit.

Rhodes could also choose to forego this height enhancement and instead add a ranged skill to Red King.

However, he could only buy a single ranged fire skill for Red King, and it would be a non-upgradable one.

The fire attack would just be a simple burst of flames, which wouldn't even reach those kiting flying insects. They always kept a great distance from Red King.

Overall, the Sphere Core or the future EX Red King would be a more cost-effective option.

If Rhodes wanted to evolve Red King into an EX form, he would need to unlock the next stage of the enhancement system.

It required spending 2 million gold coins to upgrade the enhancement system and unlock further monster enhancements.

The enhancement system had various transformation upgrades and even fusion abilities in the later stages, but all of these required system coins!

In the end, Rhodes decided to recall his plain, unmodified Red King.

This guy wasn't suited for this battlefield, and his sudden disappearance would also create a deceptive illusion for the Tyrant insect race, making it harder for them to gather further intelligence.

When dealing with the Tyrant insect race, you always needed new trump cards. Otherwise, you'd just get crushed by them.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Bemstar was feasting in the sky, enjoying himself immensely.

His Mach 5 flight speed in the atmosphere made him a terrifying Tyrant killer.

Flying creatures couldn't outfly Bemstar, and ground creatures couldn't escape either. This giant bird was bringing in a considerable amount of gold coins for Rhodes.

However, Bemstar's arrogance didn't last long. Soon, some massive biological hive ships entered the planet's atmosphere and launched a fierce bio-cannon barrage at him.

These enormous hive ships hovered a thousand meters above the planet's surface, with over a hundred hive escort ships initiating a rain-like barrage of attacks.

Caught off guard, Bemstar took two direct hits.

"Goo! Squeak! Squeak!"

Seeing this, Rhodes immediately used a weight enhancement on Bemstar. A golden glow enveloped him in mid-air, and in the next moment, he reappeared completely unharmed and full of vigor.

Then, he resumed his assault on the Tyrant insect race.

This scene seemed familiar. The Tyrant swarm quickly associated Bemstar with the now-vanished Red King.

They then changed their tactics, attempting to evade and attack from a distance, as they had done with Red King.

However, trying to kite Bemstar was nearly impossible—his speed was too agile.

The hive bio-ships in the sky were still a major threat. At this moment, dozens of them were closing in on Rhodes' position.

The bio-cannons fired by the Tyrant bio-warships were too powerful even for the combined energy shields of King Joe and the Pedan ships to withstand!

Rhodes now had two choices:

Abandon this densely fortified fire zone and spread out to engage in guerrilla warfare.

Enhance Ace Robot's Metallium Ray to extend its range, allowing it to directly attack the newly arrived Tyrant bio-warships in the planet's atmosphere.

The Metallium Ray's power was capable of destroying these bio-warships.

After a series of efficient kills, Rhodes' system coins had exceeded 25,000.

Rhodes immediately spent 5,000 system coins to enhance Ace Robot's Metallium Ray, increasing its power and range.

Then, he used another 2,000 system coins to apply the first metal armor enhancement to the Ace Robot.

A golden glow enveloped Ace Robot's body. His height, weight, and depleted energy were all fully restored.

Just as the hive bio-warships entered their cannon range, Ace Robot struck first.

He positioned his hands in an L-shape and fired the Metallium Ray.

This time, the Metallium Ray traveled tens of thousands of meters and struck a Tyrant hive bio-warship in the distance.

The moment the beam connected, the bio-warship exploded violently, turning into a dazzling firework in the sky.

Ace Robot didn't stop. As he slightly rotated his body, the Metallium Ray moved onto another hive bio-warship, reducing it to ashes before shifting to the next target.

This single onslaught lasted several minutes, wiping out five Tyrant escort bio-warships in total.

Each of these massive warships, hundreds of meters long, netted Rhodes thousands of system coins.

Sitting in the cockpit, Rhodes was immensely satisfied with this attack.

No doubt, Metallium Ray was a broken skill of the Ultra Clan!

Its power was absurd, and its range was long enough. If it were fully upgraded, it could even attack enemies outside the planet's atmosphere—maybe even destroy the Tyrant's hive mothership!

However, there was a downside—its energy consumption was too high.

With just one round of attacks, Ace Ultraman's energy was already half drained.

But now was not the time to hold back. Against the Tyrant insect race, showing weakness was not an option.

Rhodes immediately commanded Ace Robot to fire another round of Metallium Rays, taking out several more Tyrant bio-warships.

When Ace's energy was depleted, Rhodes spent 4,000 system coins to apply a second metal armor upgrade, fully restoring Ace Robot's energy once again.

Then, he resumed firing long-range Metallium Rays at the bio-warships in the sky.

With the second upgrade, the Ace Robot could now fire three full-power Metallium Rays.

After three rounds of attacks, more than half of the Tyrant hive bio-warships in the sky were destroyed—over 20 warships were annihilated, earning Rhodes another 20,000 system coins.

Next, Rhodes spent 6,000 system coins to apply a third metal armor upgrade on Ace Ultraman, increasing his full-power Metallium Ray usage to four times.

After four waves of attacks, the Tyrant bio-warships in the sky were completely wiped out.

The sheer destructive power of the Metallium Ray was terrifying!

But even after losing so many bio-warships, the Tyrant insect race showed no signs of retreating.

More bio-warships were dispatched from the hive mothership in outer space, heading straight for Ace Robot.

"You want to go head-to-head with me? Fine! Bring it on! Whoever backs down is a coward!"

Rhodes spent another 8,000 system coins for the fourth metal armor enhancement, increasing Ace Robot's full-power Metallium Ray usage to six times.
