Chapter 353: Arrogance? You Have to Endure It!
Chapter 353: Arrogance? You Have to Endure It!
The vast Endless Abyss pierced through space, slowly appearing above the entire Western Region, spreading a suffocating feeling that made it hard to breathe.
The Insect Dominator, upon seeing this, reacted instantly. The mental network connecting all the insects exploded, and a swarm of bugs surged out from the underground, launching an attack on the Endless Abyss.
At this point, it was clear that Qin Muye had no intention of letting it go, so it could not simply surrender and had to resist.
Although it was afraid, after all, when the opponent had fought the Great Emperor of Demon Machinery, a higher-level existence had intervened. Unlike the Great Emperor of Demon Machinery, it did not have sufficient backup.
"Lord of the Demon Soil, you cannot kill me. If I die, the signal marker will explode completely, and when the Insect Hive Planet arrives, you will surely die!!!"
An invisible mental storm spread out, stirring the entire world, seemingly trying to resist the Endless Abyss and convey a message to Qin Muye.
But Qin Muye paid no attention. The Insect Dominator might be telling the truth, but Qin Muye knew he had to complete the activity.
As for the threat of the insect invasion, Qin Muye had already determined that it was not due to the Insect Dominator, a weakling, but rather the Insect Hive Planet it mentioned. Therefore, whether to keep or eliminate it was irrelevant; he was curious to see just how many tricks the insect race had up their sleeves.
Now, he understood the power of the Shared Fate. Although it was not quantifiable, Qin Muye noticed that the entire territory had been connected, a link that transcended fate, akin to an additional method of stabilizing fate.
If someone wanted to shake their foundation at the level of fate, they would have to shake the entire Endless Abyss.
And this was just one of the effects of the Shared Fate. The larger the territory and the stronger the troops, the more terrifying this effect would be.
This effect was also evident in opportunities and luck. If someone dared to snatch what Qin Muye was entitled to, the Shared Fate would form a protective and retaliatory effect, ensuring that the other party would not only fail but also suffer a loss.
The territory trait Ideal City, brought about by the insect invasion, was something he would not let go of, which was why he was so decisive.
After experiencing one of the rewards, the Shared Fate, Qin Muye had decided that even if it was difficult, he would obtain the remaining three territory traits.
However, destroying the world was likely not an option, so Qin Muye could only proceed methodically. Before that, he needed to avoid the simultaneous eruption of the remaining three crises to prevent being overwhelmed.
So, since the Insect Dominator said that killing it would make the Insect Hive Planet find its trace sooner, Qin Muye decided to help it along.
A crisis that might come at any time versus a crisis that was already certain, Qin Muye preferred to know the enemy's movements. This might cause the timeline to advance, but it was better than being caught off guard.
He had random dungeon scrolls and did not lack the time to develop.
Therefore, Qin Muye completely ignored the Insect Dominator's angry roars and ordered everyone to open fire.
A large number of insects were reduced to ashes under the bombardment. The entire surface of the Western Region was thoroughly plowed by Level 2 firepower, turning the already desolate area into a wasteland.
Of course, this was partly due to the firepower of the Endless Abyss, but the main reason was that the entire Western Region had long been hollowed out by insects. The Insect Dominator had built a complex underground nest here.
In Qin Muye's eyes, these were just insects. The true insect race consisted of only the Insect Dominator itself; the rest were mere puppets under its control.
"Staying here for too long, always playing house with these sorcerers, it seems to be a common problem among the natives." Qin Muye was somewhat disappointed. He had hoped the Insect Dominator would give him a pleasant surprise like the Great Emperor of Demon Machinery, but it turned out to be nothing special.
In terms of development, the Insect Dominator was far inferior to the Great Emperor of Demon Machinery.
As the strongest, they had lost their sense of crisis and their greed for strength, which, in Qin Muye's eyes, was equivalent to losing the concept of living.
Qin Muye's thoughts were simple: to live and live better. Strength and power were means to this end.
Under the bombardment, a massive underground vein spanning the Western Region began to rise from the ground.
Qin Muye's eyes narrowed: "Is it about to reveal its true form?"
"Still not cautious enough. If it were me, I would absolutely run away if I knew I couldn't win."
Just as he finished speaking, a vein burst, and a massive creature resembling a centipede and scorpion hybrid, covered in chitinous armor and fearsome insect limbs, emerged, ready to attack.
"Lord of the Demon Soil, you are too arrogant, arrogant enough to ignore a king!!!" The Insect Dominator roared, and a mental storm instantly tore through the barrage of incoming firepower. In the insect world, it was a king, naturally able to call itself such.
However, just as it finished roaring, huge shadows leaped from the sky. Numerous heroes riding Demon Machinery-level mechs, along with their elite forces, surrounded it.
Their bodies were enhanced with various boosts and magic, radiating powerful auras.
This made the Insect Dominator hesitate. Where did all these pseudo-king-level beings come from?
Pseudo-king level meant they hadn't reached the true king level but possessed the corresponding strength.
The goblins were 6th rank, but with the enhancements from Gargoyle-level armor, Demon Machinery-level mechs, and their specialized treasures, they all had 7th rank power.
"My master is arrogant? You have to endure it!" The leader, Tianqi, spoke with a mad tone. The Demon Machinery-level mech, resembling a giant tentacle monster, struck out instantly, tearing off most of the Insect Dominator's body. Then, countless tentacles spread over its chitinous armor.
The other goblins didn't waste time either, all attacking at the same moment.
The Insect Dominator's body was indeed massive, spanning the entire Western Region, but the Demon Machinery-level mechs were not small either. Combined with the goblins' specialized skills, all of them being epic-level, and the sheer number of them, they overwhelmed the Insect Dominator, leaving it no strength to resist.
If it weren't for the insect race's strong vitality, it would have been killed long ago.
Tianqi grabbed the Insect Dominator's head, which was originally very fierce but now looked pitifully crushed, with its fangs and armor collapsing.
Then, numerous tentacles tore open the Insect Dominator's head, pulling out a brain-like insect, much smaller in comparison to the body, roughly the size of a person.
"Found you. I didn't expect your true form to be so white and tender, truly cute." Moblood, riding a Demon Machinery-level mech, walked over, his voice tinged with a bloodthirsty tone, as if he wanted to slice it up on the spot.
Don't be fooled by the Insect Dominator's appearance as a brain-like insect; its true strength lay in its mental power. The centipede body was just a construct to supplement its physical weaknesses.
But now, it was completely powerless, held in Tianqi's grasp.
The Insect Dominator's mental power penetrated the Demon Machinery-level mech, trying to gain control and brainwash Tianqi.
Unfortunately, the moment its mental power entered, it didn't see Tianqi or the mech's mental space but a vast magic network connected to the entire Endless Abyss.
"Why did you come to seek death?"
A voice echoed in the Insect Dominator's mind. It instantly recognized the voice as that of the Lord of the Demon Soil, the ruler of the Endless Abyss.
At this moment, it understood. The other side had also constructed a massive mental network. If its insects were still around, it might have had a chance. But after the several rounds of firepower, its forces were decimated, leaving it with no strength to fight back.
"Wait, I am willing to submit. I am a king-level insect and can provide you with sufficient power." At this point, the Insect Dominator quickly pleaded for mercy.
But soon, it felt something amiss, as if its body was being thrown up.
Bang!
Then, in the air, it disintegrated into a huge mist ball.
"Sorry, my prison is only 6th rank and can't contain a 7th rank being." Qin Muye looked at the footage on the monitor, speaking slowly.
[One glorious battle.]
[...]
"Tsk, too bad, no treasure chest. This event is too simple." Qin Muye was somewhat disappointed, but the event was what it was, and he couldn't change it.
The Sorcerer Dynasty server's event only awarded a territory trait upon completion, no treasure chests or points.
