The force of an average superpower wasn't enough to stop them. The beetles quickly swarmed past the gas station, pouring toward them like a tide.
The small beetles' carapaces were surprisingly tough.
After fighting for what felt like an eternity, the casualties they inflicted were less than one percent of the surging beetle tide. They had only managed to slow their advance.
Chen Tieniu's Earth Wall had some effect, creating a wide channel that both blocked the beetles' path forward and kept them from scattering too far.
But he was overusing his superpower, and it was visibly weakening.
Meanwhile, the beetles were only growing more numerous and ferocious.
Wan Wanxin fought with great concentration. Her vines were beautiful as they shot out, spinning like ribbons, but they had little effect.
Sima Yue turned to his aide-de-camp and ordered, "Get a team of Fire Ability Users here. Now."
"Yes, sir."
