Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1842: 1029: Seven-Headed Ghost Face, Arrival of the Wolf Pack! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
“Star Sand Master! I've come now! You've been eagerly waiting for this instant, haven't you? Slaughtering the Phantom Army was your way to incite all-out war with our Wolf Pack Civilization, wasn't it? The hour has come for you to face the consequences!”
Bursting forth with surging murderous fury, Su Lin erupted high over the thirty-six passes of the Sea of Star Sand.
The vast might of the Extreme Heaven Realm Heavy Artifact, the Nine-layered Emperor Pagoda, unleashed its full force!
In truth, the bottled-up rage and deadly intent within Su Lin had simmered for ages due to this very conflict!
Charm Fox, Shadow of Plague, and the entire Phantom Army—all served as his loyal subordinates!
He had sent them forth, yes, to probe the cosmic voids and to push the Wolf Pack Civilization's influence past the system's borders!
Naturally, certain unspoken motives lingered as well.
Yet the Sea of Star Sand's deeds had crossed every line!
Thus, Su Lin himself had yearned for this clash just as desperately!
For ages he had restrained his impulses, solely because leading a faction demanded iron control—except when the time for utter carnage arrived!
Following the earth-shattering Wolf Howl from the Wolf Lord that rattled the cosmos,
Dozens upon hundreds of Star Sky Mother Ships trailed behind, charging toward the gap with unstoppable momentum, hurtling at top velocity!
Those over a hundred Star Sky Mother Ships matched the power of more than a hundred second-class Life Planets,
While trailing them came scores of Star Sky Insect Nests, rivaling dozens of second-level pinnacles or nascent small constant stars!
In unison, they advanced like a colossal surge, unleashing tremendous strain!
Confronting this spectacle, the Star Sand Master himself conceded that the Wolf Pack Civilization's power was so overwhelming a mere assault could shatter their army of tens of trillions!
“Hahaha! So you're the Wolf Lord who emerged barely ten thousand years back—truly formidable! But spare me the talk of retribution! Wolf Lord, your creatures follow you blindly, yet that won't blind me to your schemes! Foreseeing this clash when dispatching the Phantom Army into the stars? Deep down, you knew! Wasn't it all to sacrifice their blood for a righteous banner to rally your Wolf Pack Civilization? Hahaha, if so, drop the vengeance spiel—come on! Witness the heads of your Phantom Army and their leader, stewed into broth!”
Positioned atop the thirty-six passes, the Star Sand Master faced off against the wolf silhouette atop the Nine-layered Emperor Pagoda!
Their “auras” collided with savage intensity.
The Star Sand Master's taunts pierced the Wolf Lord's hidden truths!
As Su Lin dispatched Charm Fox beyond the Sky Wolf System, he had already braced for brutal clashes with the local powers of this galaxy!
He figured it would merely involve a few star systems, providing the Wolf Pack Civilization pretext to claim the heavens.
Never did he imagine the Sea of Star Sand launching such a ruthless assault.
The Star Sand Master's greed for the Sky Wolf System began back when it was known as the Radiant Sun Stellar System!
“Courting death! Yet before that, behold my shower of severed heads!”
As a profoundly wicked faction, the Sea of Star Sand's ploy to wield the Phantom Army's remains against his troops' spirits was no surprise to Su Lin!
Thus, with a flick of his wrist, Su Lin hurled forth numerous heads of wrongdoers he'd carried from the fourteenth pass in the Origin Space!
These wrongdoers were kin who had all emerged from a single Prison Planet!
Formerly mighty generals of the Blazing Flame Clan—an Overlord Level powerhouse—once revered across realms, now laden with endless disgrace!
Hence, only fellow outlaws and battle-brothers among the wrongdoers could truly grasp one another's plights!
And for that reason, the camaraderie binding the wrongdoers surpassed even that within the Wolf Pack Civilization!
With the downpour of gory heads, the Sinners Army reacted first with unrest!
Not even the Star Sand Master, who planned to parade the Phantom Army's heads, could suppress the boiling fury and wrath in his gaze.
He had paused the Sin Extinction Array itself, merely to free billions of wrongdoers, underscoring their vital role to him!
“Excellent… truly… excellent!”
From the outset, both factions waged a war of minds!
Be it the Star Sand Master's mind games or the Wolf Lord's, each cut like daggers into the foe!
Yet the Star Sand Master cracked first.
His tens of trillions of wrongdoers fixed their eyes upon him!
In that instant, though the Star Sand Master and Wolf Lord had only just encountered one another, both had rehearsed this showdown endlessly in their thoughts!
Hence, no further exchange was required from either!
Besides, for the Star Sand Master or the Wolf Lord alike, this showdown had loomed for an eternity!
Boom!
A blast of force propelled the Star Sand Master from the thirty-six passes, barreling directly at the Wolf Lord!
The thirty-six passes served as the Sea of Star Sand's frontline bastion; if the Wolf Pack Civilization sought invasion, so be it!
However, his duel with the Wolf Lord stood as a clash of sovereigns!
Solely they merited involvement!
The Star Sand Master forbade even the Misfortune Line Snake or the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King from interfering!
For the Star Sand Master cherished his dignity!
Meanwhile, the Wolf Lord's forces pressed onward toward the thirty-six passes unerringly!
“Kill!”
“Awooo!”
…….
Now, neither Su Lin nor the Star Sand Master harbored any hesitation—pure slaughtering zeal consumed them!
Each had motives demanding the other's demise; this war brooked no truces or pacts!
Victory for one alone would suffice, lest they betray their devoted allies!
….
In the perilous heart of the Arctic, bonds boiled down to hunter and hunted; the menacing presence of the White Wolf invading rival domains set countless foes on edge, their eerie green stares locked in tense vigil for the White Wolf Pack's slightest stir.
Predators exhaled in relief only after the imposing White Wolf form vanished from view.
Su Lin hastened the Wolf Pack's return to their home grounds, surveying the known landscape as calm settled in his chest. Detecting the welcoming aroma, the cave-dwelling Red-tailed Fox Wolves flicked their tails in joy and stepped out to greet their snow-dusted family.
Predators exhaled in relief only after the imposing White Wolf form vanished from view.
Gazing approvingly at the quick, cohesive Wolf Pack arrayed before him, Su Lin regarded these as his finest packmates, ideal comrades for upcoming struggles—only with a superior pack could he confront adversaries fearlessly,
For a wolf thrived in the group, and Su Lin rejected solitude.
He parted his jaws then, unleashing a howl northward to rally every wolf from the frost and guide them back to the Land of Adventure, securing their haul against poachers en route.
The pack echoed with fierce calls, bolting away in a flash, keen to showcase their remarkable swiftness and power to the Wolf King.
Observing his vibrant Wolf Pack, Su Lin's resolve to claim Arctic supremacy intensified; amid the Ice Age, survival meant evolving mightier or serving as sustenance—a doom Su Lin vowed to defy!
Noting Little Lone Wolf trailing the pair of Beta Wolves while hauling the leftover flesh of the Invincible Fierce Tiger, their gait lacking former vigor, Su Lin recognized this as Little Lone Wolf's trial for them—Beta Wolves must exude self-reliance and toughness, so he held his tongue.
Little Lone Wolf drew near Su Lin, emitting a soft “woof”, its intent clear to Su Lin.
