The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3833

Chapter 3833 Fish Societies

The battle did not last much longer after the giant king fish made an appearance.

The supremely powerful king fish did not attack as exaggerated as before, but its next moves confirmed to Tusa that the powerful creature possessed enough firepower to match that of a warship or an ace mech!

The only reassurance to Tusa was that the king fish did not possess any extraordinary traits as far as he could tell. The monstrous and utterly unique monarch creature relied on its extraordinary biological properties to fight back against the Swarmers. The Dark Zephyr detected no signs of true resonance or other extraordinary manifestations, which meant that the creature was probably not as difficult to deal with as an actual ace mech.

"It's still a darn powerful fish, though!"

The king fish completely dominated the battlefield as soon as it emerged. It did not appear to be in a hurry to close in on the enemies. Instead, it maintained its distance and utilized various ranged attacks to completely unsettle and disrupt the Swarmers.

In one moment, the king fish launched a strange flesh ball that landed in the midst of the surviving enemy formation like a bomb.

Once the flesh ball fell into place, it exploded and sprayed hundreds of Swarmer fish with poisonous liquid that caused the victims to lose focus and behave more erratically!

In another moment, the king fish exerted its phasewater reserves to tear a space crack in the center of the enemy horde, causing the attackers to get split up from each other!

While all of this went on, the other individualistic fish-whales quickly regained their momentum and beat back the enemies that had gotten close before bombarding the remainder!

"It's over. The Swarmers have lost their only advantage."

When the group of weak Swarmer fish dropped below a certain quantity, they no longer possessed the numbers to overwhelm the defenders.

Nonetheless, none of the grunt fishes or elite fishes showed any hint of retreating! They continued to go forward in order to take down as many individualistic fish-whales as possible. Blood continued to be shed as the two groups of fish did not show any mercy towards each other!

By the time the battle had come to an end, the Swarmer horde ceased to exist. All of their bodies ended up in the bellies of their fellow comrades or fell down onto the surface of the asteroid that they sought to conquer.

The defenders didn't look so good, though. Though they only lost up to fifty or so unique fish-whales, each of them were strong and expensive to nurture. The losses also amounted to a significant proportion of the defenders on this landmass!

In addition to that, the price the king fish had paid to wipe out so many Swarmer fish probably wasn't light. The creature already began to droop as it had just exerted a handful of highly impactful attack abilities.

The survivors soon began to enjoy their spoils. They approached the places where piles and piles of Swarmer fish bodies had fallen and stoically partook in their meals.

Unlike the cannibal fish that Tusa had encountered before, these new ones did not look as if they were letting their baser instincts control their behavior. They looked fully aware as they replenished the energy and body mass that they had lost during the battle!

The king fish ate the most bodies by far. Its huge body and its powerful energy emissions made it clear that it probably needed a lot of resources to sustain its massive body. This might also explain why the rest of the fish-whales did not grow to such an exaggerated size. The resources available on this asteroid might not be enough to sustain another super-sized monster!

"This… is a contest of attrition."

Though Venerable Tusa was not as well-versed in war and strategy as Commander Casella, he still knew a thing or two about warfare.

With everything he had seen so far, he understood that the Swarm Kingdom probably had the initiative in this intraspecies war.

"I have personally seen how the Swarm Kingdom controls at least 9 asteroids. If each of them produces resources, then that means the Swarmers have a massive quantity advantage. They can easily launch attacks on a frequent basis without getting distressed because they can quickly replenish their ranks on account of their abundant territories and huge population base."

The defenders of this asteroid appeared to be following the opposite route. Each of their fish-whales were unique and much more powerful than their Swarmer counterparts.

Given how diverse they looked and how they all grew in unique directions, Tusa dubbed them the Evolvers.

"If there is one benefit to this battle, it is that the weak fishes get eliminated by the Swarmers while the strong fishes survive by virtue of their superior evolutionary direction."

The meat-grinding bladed fish, the wizard-like silver fish, the area-denying fire-breather fish and above all else the king fish that was basically the fish-whale equivalent of a juggernaut each showed that the Evolvers had become highly proficient at slaying their opposition.

Still, Tusa didn't think the defenders of the ruined labs could hold onto their territory forever.

He didn't know how quickly the Evolution Kingdom could replenish its losses from this invasion, but he was pretty sure that the loss of over a hundred-thousand fishes was completely negligible to the much more massive Swarm Kingdom!

Just as Tusa wondered how long it would take for the Swarmers to take over this asteroid, the king fish that had just eaten hundreds of fallen bodies abruptly turned and directed its bright eyes straight in the direction where the Dark Zephyr was hovering in the distance!

Although the Dark Zephyr wasn't under stealth, Tusa had made sure to maintain a healthy distance and minimize the emissions of his expert mech.

The perceptive abilities of the fish-whales that he encountered so far weren't impressive. Though the Evolvers looked more developed than the uniform fish subspecies of their enemies, Tusa saw little reason why they would enhance their observation capabilities considering that the Swarmers were too numerous to hide their movements.

Yet despite all of these considerations, the king fish was much sharper than it looked and stared straight at the distant metal speck!

If this wasn't enough to alarm Venerable Tusa, then what happened next completely changed his attitude towards the powerful king fish.

A strange mental intrusion began to intrude upon his mind. Though it wasn't particularly strong and focused, it reminded Tusa a lot of the glow of a design spirit!

The foreign mental pressure only pressured him for a brief amount of time before it began to communicate a strange word.

WUGEENAE. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ғʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴᴏᴠᴇʟ. ᴄᴏᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ.

Tusa almost jumped out of his piloting seat as the king fish spoke to him from a distance!
