Wizard's Journey

Chapter 879 Situation Expanding

Nine hourglasses later.

Surrounded by numerous unfathomable demon hunters and bound by layers of elemental power, the cockroach mother stared in terror at the mysterious and eerie creature before her. The biological aura emanating from the creature was so powerful that the cockroach mother felt as if she were looking up at a towering giant, utterly powerless against it.

Seven-colored runes flowed across its body. In its left hand was the Book of Truth, and in its right hand was the Abyss Magic Staff. Beneath the Mask of Truth, its eyes looked at this level three creature with a calm gaze, yet it gave the cockroach mother the feeling of a demon ready to devour its prey, filling it with immense fear.

Around them, a dozen or so cockroaches, each with its own intelligence, humbly crawled and bowed to their master, as docile as little dogs.

"Powerful beings from another realm, don't waste your time on me. There's nothing you want in my nest. The Howling Cockroaches will soon be awakened by your delicious scent, and then... hehehehehe!"

Unlike other cockroaches that are nearly shriveled and howling from hunger, the mother cockroach is bloated, with a nine-meter-long body and a nearly six-meter-long, plump abdomen. Her body is covered with blue and purple patterns that form spots, making her look colorful.

Throughout her life, this female cockroach laid countless cockroach eggs.

As she spoke, the mother cockroach looked at the howling cockroaches crawling around Green like little dogs. Enraged, she waved her lightning antennae on her head, attempting to control these lowly offspring.

"How could this be? What did you do to them?!"

Unable to manipulate the bloodline of her offspring, the cockroach mother grew even more panicked, feeling that the mysterious, tiny, and ugly creature from an unknown world before her was unfathomable.

"Hehehe, young master, it really does possess some intelligence!"

Standing atop Green's head, atop a ferocious giant with a long neck and bared fangs, Little Eight laughed excitedly.

"They have merely submitted to the will of the great wizard, offering up their bodies and souls, and you, soon you will be just like them, hehehehehe."

Green's soulful voice sounded hoarse and evil to the mother cockroach.

Surrounded by a motley crew of witch hunters, each with their own unique posture, the witch hunters looked down at the lowly prisoner, sneering repeatedly.

"Wizard? You... what are you going to do? Stop! Ah..."

Despite the agonizing struggle, befitting an ancient level-three creature with a long history, its resistance far surpasses that of ordinary beings, and it is actually doing its best to drive away the invading soul of the Grimm's Mark.

The flames of holy marks, resembling ghost faces, at the tip of the magic wand were extremely difficult to invade.

"Hehehehehe, give up your ignorant resistance, use your soul to feel the greatness of the wizard's will, and you will end your muddled existence and truly live."

In the end, Green's ferocious expression was fully revealed. He actually plunged the entire tip of the Extreme Abyss Magic Wand into the belly of the Cockroach Mother, green juice splattering everywhere, brutally implementing soul control.

After convulsing and twitching for a while, when the mother cockroach opened her eyes again, her soul aura had already shifted towards Green's.

"Owner!"

Humbly surrendering, with a piety in his eyes surpassing that of any believer, his life's purpose was to dedicate everything to Green's will.

"Um."

Although there were only fourteen slaves, through this mother cockroach, Green felt countless others.

After a brief exchange, Green determined that there were a total of six mother nests in the vicinity, and one of them, a triple mother nest, was jointly controlled by the three sisters and was the strongest mother nest in the vicinity.

"Inform the master that the Howling Cockroach Queen is the origin of the Howling Cockroach clan. Legend has it that after the Howling Cockroach Queen was born 15,000 years ago, she began to grow rapidly until 300 years ago, when there was no food left in the world and the edible minerals that the earth regenerated were only enough for each mother nest to barely survive."

The mother cockroach answered all my questions.

"So, where is the Howling Cockroach Queen's nest?"

While Green kept asking for all sorts of information, Little Eight rode the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird and excitedly set off with the six demon hunter legions to conquer various mother nests.

After the Cockroach Mother gave a general location, Green did some quick calculations and nodded. It was indeed near the Ghost Spring Descent Space Fortress!

However, Youquan is different from Grimm. As an elemental wizard, Grimm's innate talent is soul enslavement.

As the ruler of the wizarding world, Youquan possesses some methods to amplify elemental power, but in essence, he is a wild, body-refining wizard. Slaves are merely used for consumption in the arena or for buying and selling; he has no means of soul enslavement. I wonder if he has received any definite information over there.

With that in mind, Green encrypted a series of information runes and transmitted them to Youquan. In just a moment, Youquan transmitted a message back.

"The Howling Cockroach World Awakens, and the Queen Mother's Power is Recovering?"

The information provided by Youquan indicates that the former Cockroach Queen's strength was far greater than what the Shadow Wizard's investigation had shown. It seems that her strength plummeted due to the depletion of world resources, leading to her being mistaken for a newly promoted world ruler.

As Green and Youquan brought a large amount of fresh blood and food, they unintentionally awakened some hungry, dormant, howling cockroaches. The world's will was strengthened, and the power of this cockroach queen was also enhanced.

Should we head to Youquan right now and join forces to take down that Queen Mother as soon as possible?

However, this would likely awaken an unimaginable number of howling cockroaches from the overwhelming aura of blood. These howling cockroaches, not controlled by the wizard's will, would become the source of the world's awakening will, and the world's guardians would rise in status as well.

Suddenly, a message from the Wizarding World Space Fortress Operations Command Center came through the Green Crystal Ball.

"The Tower of Annihilation, the Saintly Stigmata Wizard!"

A look of seriousness appeared on Andre's aged face, which made Green realize that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

A series of images recorded by the crystal ball appeared, showing a large number of howling cockroaches fighting each other, with the strong devouring the corpses of the weak. The smell of blood and flesh was constantly awakening a larger area of ​​dormant cockroaches, spreading outwards.

"Master, I assembled a group of wizards with incineration properties to clean up the bloody corpses of the awakened howling cockroaches, but we were no longer able to stop the situation from spreading. It seems that the fundamental will of this world has realized its own crisis and has initiated its final mechanism."

"What are some good ways to delay as much as possible?"

Green's eyes darted around, his brow furrowed.

"I've already contacted the Operations Command Center of the Sacred Mark Wizard Space Fortress of the Sword of Destruction, and the same situation has occurred there. Based on past experience, if we allow this to continue, it could very well lead to a major cataclysmic change in the rules. To be on the safe side, Master, please completely control the Cockroach Queen World Lord before the situation spirals out of control!"

Andrei held his breath, his expression grim, and said, "We will activate the space fortress's destructive cannons, create a buffer zone, and send out wizards with incineration properties to do everything in our power to contain the situation!"
