Chapter 331: The Insect Clan's Failed Escape
Chapter 331: The Insect Clan's Failed Escape
The vast Abyss squeezed out from the plane and resettled on the Ice Ocean.
Naturally, this action was detected by the Divine Mysterious Emperor and the three demons—Greed, Hatred, and Delusion. These beings looked grave, having initially thought that the Abyss had fled, but it returned in just four days.
The insect overlord, hiding in the underground nest, was trembling, not because of Qin Muye's Endless Abyss, but because its escape had failed.
When Qin Muye left the Sorcerer Dynasty server with the entire Endless Abyss, the insect overlord was quite surprised. It hadn't expected someone else to have the same idea of fleeing. It seemed that the other party also realized the timeline was being compressed, making staying in this world meaningless.
So, on the second day, it prepared to take its entire insect nest out of this world. Even if it would suffer tremendous losses, as long as it could save its life, other issues would be minor.
However, while it could enter the world easily, leaving was not so simple.
When it forcibly broke through the world barrier, it saw an indescribable entity spanning an incomprehensible distance in the endless void. The entity's gaze was fixed on this world and on it.
This feeling plunged it into endless fear and chaos. If it dared to leave this world, another version of itself would replace it.
Yes, it would die, but another version of itself would take its place.
The indescribable entity held time as a mere plaything, and the world was just a fragment of its existence.
Everything was terrifying. The entity offered it a choice, not caring who it was, but only who could please it.
So, the insect overlord cowered and retreated, obediently continuing its original plan. It couldn't leave and didn't dare to slack off.
The indescribable entity's gaze, though not directly on it, was fixed on the entire timeline of this world. Even though the timeline had been compressed, the entity seemed to perceive something.
Although it seemed to be in no immediate danger, the fear and dread in its soul and mind only intensified, and the image of the indescribable entity in its mind became increasingly clear.
As a visitor from a higher energy level world, the insect overlord knew the reason for this. By directly facing the indescribable entity, its nature was gradually aligning with that of the indescribable.
The void was home to many indescribable entities, but these beings had little interest in their world, or their interests were rather unique.
Even the overlord-level entities in its insect clan's world were mere larger ants to these indescribable entities.
No, the entire insect clan's world was an appendage of some indescribable entity. Although the indescribable entities had no interest in other worlds, the unconscious emanations from their bodies were enough to destroy a world.
So, when it realized that the world it was in was being watched by some indescribable entity, it knew it was in trouble.
It could either be obedient or be replaced.
In countless timelines and parallel worlds, there was always one version of it that would submit. The indescribable entity could simply grab any of these versions and insert it into its body.
"Damn, what a mess."
The insect overlord suspected this might be a conflict between two indescribable entities, not just in space, but also in time, dimensions, causality, and even concepts.
"Damn, I should have thought of this when that damn Magitech summoned the Rectification Protocol. If the indescribable entity behind my clan had also acted, the insect clan's world would have descended, and even if the timeline was compressed..."
The insect overlord suddenly fell silent, not wanting to bring trouble upon itself. It also knew that if the insect clan's world truly descended, the mechanical world would also open a breach, leading to a battle between the insect overlord and the mechanical emperor.
Such a scenario was generally unlikely, as it would mean that the game between two indescribable entities had escalated to a more serious level.
It knew that for those indescribable entities in the void, this was just a game.
"Only, who is that entity targeting?"
When did it come into existence?” the Insect Overlord couldn't help but let its thoughts wander.
But soon, it drove these thoughts from its mind. For it, thinking about such matters was akin to courting death. Just a single glance had already enveloped it in boundless fear and chaos. If it had no value, it would have long lost its self, becoming a mad aberration. If it truly tried to explore, the pollution of the indescribable in its mind would only grow denser.
As for resistance, that was even more impossible. It had already been targeted by the other party. Even if it tried to commit suicide, the indescribable had countless ways to make it complete its tasks.
So, it could only resign itself to its fate and not think about escape.
"The Demon Earth Lord must also be a fellow unfortunate, or why would he leave and come back? I wonder what the reason is. Perhaps even his coming to this world was guided by the indescribable," the Insect Overlord thought with a touch of schadenfreude.
Destroying the Mechanical Emperor was one thing, but losing itself in the process would not be worth it.
Who knew, the other party might have encountered something even more unfortunate.
As for the Divine Mysterious Emperor and the three demons—Greed, Hatred, and Delusion—in the Spirit Realm, to be honest, the Insect Overlord didn't take them seriously. They were indeed very strong, but their strength was limited by the world's energy level. Unless they left this world for a higher energy level, they would remain stuck here forever.
This was the world's limit, something no human power could break, even if the Divine Mysterious Emperor was favored by the world.
"Is this here to eliminate anomalies? Should I take action?"
Suddenly, the Insect Overlord sensed a disturbance, a slight oscillation in its mental frequency. It knew that the Mechanical Emperor's subroutines had begun the timeline reclamation.
There were many variables: itself, the Divine Mysterious Emperor, the three demons—Greed, Hatred, and Delusion—these were all significant obstacles. They had no place in the future.
Moreover, the true obstacle might be the Demon Earth.
Because the Insect Overlord sensed that the spatial disturbance was coming from the far eastern sea, targeting the Demon Earth Lord.
"Never mind, even if I wanted to lend a hand, the Divine Mysterious Emperor wouldn't allow it," the Insect Overlord quickly suppressed this thought.
There was the Great Dark Dynasty between them. If it went over, it would be the first to be besieged by the Divine Mysterious Emperor, and that would be a loss.
So, it could only let it be.
The usually calm Divine Mysterious Emperor also sighed, his expression filled with helplessness.
While he was not from a higher energy level world like the Insect Overlord or the Mechanical Emperor and knew less, he was not foolish. He had also noticed the dangerous situation the world was in.
The problem was that he was powerless to do anything about it. This feeling was like when his Great Dark Dynasty was first established and was besieged by the Spirit Realm's evil spirits, the Mechanical Evil Spirits, and the alien insects.
No, it might be even more difficult than that.
At least back then, he had the means to respond, but now he had no power to do so.
He naturally sensed the anomalies in the far eastern sea. After all, he was a 7th Rank, one of the few at the pinnacle of this world.
So, sensing the changes in the world was relatively easy. It was impossible to be completely blind, unless it was something like the 8th Rank battle that broke through the world. Otherwise, very few things in the world could escape his notice.
In fact, the 7th Rank beings like the Divine Mysterious Emperor had long ceased to be the same species as their subjects. The gap was not as extreme as between Qin Muye and humans, but it was still significant. This was why the stronger one was, the harder it was to have offspring.
It wasn't because the strong found it difficult to conceive, but because the differences in their growth and strengthening, even within the same system, grew larger. So, while those of the same strength could still produce offspring, if there was a significant difference in strength, it was not a matter of whether they could have offspring, but whether the weaker one could survive.
Of course, self-division and mitosis didn't count, as these were special methods of reproduction, essentially splitting oneself in half rather than creating a new individual.
