As she walked inside, she asked, "Speaking of which, why did you waste your breath talking to those guys from the Immortal Boat? Did you think it would have been useful?"
“It’s no use,” Jiang Jiu replied.
"You're useless, yet you still say that."
Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Because there's a saying that goes, 'The villain dies from talking too much.'"
"Ok?"
"I want to see if I'm the villain."
Black Tower: "...?"
As for the end of the passage... that was a bit unexpected.
We didn't find the remains, but we did see a...
Queen beetles being bred.
......
......
Chapter 93 is good; this timeline is completely hopeless.
The creature lay prone in the center of a spacious, biological chamber-like area, almost blending into the surrounding shadows, with only a faint, eerie green light occasionally swirling around the edge of its carapace.
It lay there quietly, motionless, as if... dead.
Although it was supposed to be dead anyway.
"...The fertility envoy was actually created by Nguyen Mai???"
Jiang remained silent for a long time.
He guessed that a big bomb would be dropped on him in the end, but he didn't expect it to be this big.
What the hell is this?
Black Tower waved his scepter, briefly analyzing the creature before him.
“The vital signs are quite active, more active than usual, and don’t seem to be at the normal threshold.”
"What do you mean?" Jiang Jiu asked.
Black Tower thought for a moment: "Probably, all he can think about is reproduction..."
"Although this guy's life signals are active, his consciousness fluctuations are very chaotic and fragmented, like a stitched-together collection of countless fragments of consciousness."
She paused, then added, "Ruan Mei's work isn't this rough. This thing... is it a defective product, or a half-finished product, that was created prematurely?"
Jiang Jiu did not respond immediately.
He stared at the insect silently, and couldn't help but frown.
His first reaction to this kind of thing was disgust, and his second reaction was that the world was doomed.
He had seen accounts of the king insect before.
Some people say...
The insect queen's reproductive methods have never been limited to division and replication.
Because, whether you are an organic or mechanical life form, whether you are human or another race, or even whether you have life or not... as long as you have even the slightest concept of reproduction, the Insect King has a way to make you give birth to insects.
In other words, as long as you have even the slightest connection to the concept of reproduction, the Insect King can make you reproduce.
There was once a passage in the Insect Swarm universe that said this.
In hospitals on Mandalay Island, your ears are filled with the cacophony of cries... the number of newborns has reached an all-time high.
In the days that followed, they broke out of the isolated island, and "swarms of insects" began to appear in the skies all over the planet Great Labour.
"Newborns will turn into worms."
The people of Mandalay paint colorful wings on the shoulder blades of family photos, and the bursting colorful flames are a symbol of life. They use the flames to connect with each other, embrace each other, and finally give birth to new life.
"Even if you stick a pattern on it, insects can still grow."
It's hard to imagine what this means.
This is "breeding" at the conceptual level.
Imagine.
A factory that was normally producing robots suddenly found that halfway through production, everything it produced turned into insects.
As a result, the entire factory was devoured by insects.
Imagine, even if you plant crops on the land, what grows are insects...
......
This is the global locust plague.
This is reproduction.
If the Insect King possesses such power, then what about the strength of His messenger...?
Jiang Jiu didn't dare to think about it too much...
“She didn’t create it.” Jiang Jiu paused for a long time before speaking, her voice echoing slightly in the empty space. “She raised it.”
Black Tower raised an eyebrow: "Raise?"
"The Immortal Ship obtained a portion of the remains of the breeding, or a portion of its power. In the short term... they cannot use it directly, nor do they have time to study it slowly."
"So, for the sake of the experiment... it might have been Xianzhou itself, but it was most likely Ruan Mei's doing... she probably used the most brutal method."
Jiang Jiu glanced at the thing and took a deep breath.
"The remains of the Star God Tower Izyuros were used to feed an Ohmu, forcibly stimulating the residual life force within the remains to grow, ultimately giving birth to this deformed Commander-level vessel..."
"They really are a bunch of lunatics."
Jiang Jiu concluded.
“Vessel?” Black Tower keenly caught the word.
"Yes, a carrier."
Jiang Jiu repeated himself, gripping the longsword in one hand and slowly drawing it from its sheath.
"The Marshal wasn't lying completely. The remnants of the Minghuang Ancestor are indeed here, but... only a part of them."
"The remains of the Star God have been cultivated into this state... wantonly studied, destroyed, and desecrated... Don't the other Star Gods have any reaction?"
Jiang Jiu didn't know, and was too lazy to think about it.
The thing before me lacked a complete will; it was more like a living petri dish, or rather... a meticulously prepared trap.
He took two steps forward.
Almost simultaneously, the crouching giant worm's body trembled slightly.
There was no roar, no warning of an attack, but the air in the entire chamber instantly became heavy.
The walls, the floor, and even the light began to distort slightly, revealing fine, honeycomb-like hexagonal patterns.
At the center of each pattern, a faint green light was gathering, as if countless compound eyes were opening simultaneously, locking onto the two people who had stepped into the area.
Black Tower clicked its tongue.
"How disgusting, it's giving me trypophobia."
Jiang Jiu stared at the object in front of him and asked, "Black Tower, what kind of star god do you think Taizyuros is?"
"A cowardly, dull-witted fellow with no knowledge whatsoever. His mind is empty except for reproduction, and he is utterly repulsive no matter how you look at him."
"I feel so too."
He chuckled and spoke softly to the black tower that was about to step forward.
"Step back."
Black Tower retreated ten steps in response.
next moment.
Countless green eyes opened all around, staring intently at Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu’s pupils reflected the image of the King Insect, which was then swallowed up by the purplish-red flames in an instant.
"...You just mentioned that it exists, right?"
"These eyes exist out of thin air, right? How can they exist... If it defies common sense, then obediently disappear into nothingness, understand?"
The countless disgusting eyes on the walls, ceiling, and even the ground vanished the moment they came into contact with nothingness.
The king worm shuddered and let out a loud howl.
Then......
It suddenly split into two.
Jiang Jiu was stunned for two seconds.
"...?"
Even the Black Tower was caught off guard.
What the heck is that?
Jiang Jiu looked at the sword in his hand, then at the eye on the wall, and finally at the King Worm split in two in front of him. He doubted himself for two seconds, then looked at the Black Tower with a shocked expression.
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
...Is he still alive?
Black Tower: "..."
"Okay, now I also think this world is hopeless."
