The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 132 - 48: Your Majesty, I Want to Discuss Some Terms with You

Chapter 132: Chapter 48: Your Majesty, I Want to Discuss Some Terms with You

[Crystal Rice (3rd Tier/Gold): Highly concentrated Magic Power Crystal, which can be quickly grown into full plants when placed into Blood Flesh and absorbs all surrounding nutrients to convert into Magic Power Crystals. Each grain can restore 100 Magic Power Value when used.]

"In the end, I can’t escape the destiny with rice..."

Bai Yi gently touched the lush and dripping rice seedlings in the flowerpot and couldn’t help but sigh.

This yard, nearly a hundred square meters, is already almost filled with various flowers and plants; these are all semi-finished products researched by Bai Yi during this period, making it difficult to even walk around.

Of course, this is not something that can be done in a short time. It has been another week since the Facehuggers were cultivated, and after sporadic research up till now, a yard full of failed or semi-finished products has been produced.

Under the dual pressures of Transcendence and Mutation, Bai Yi finally induced the mutation of the rice plant as it is today.

One only needs to sprinkle a few grains on the Blood Flesh where the Fungus Blanket converges, and it can quickly convert nutrients into grains equivalent to highly compressed Magic Power Crystals.

After obtaining the finished product, Bai Yi summoned the Erosion Worms that were on standby in the underground passage to start gathering all the reserves of the Swarm in this dungeon world.

A week passed, and this world, except for Zhuchen who was still playing house but has begun to realize that something was wrong, had all come under the rule of the Swarm.

It can be said that Bai Yi now basically controlled all the resources of this world.

Even the Extraordinary Relics and those Divine Fragments in the wilderness have been mostly gathered, but what surprised Bai Yi was that the upper limit of this world did not seem high.

The levels of all Divine Fragments and relics did not exceed Level 6.

This is the reason why she has not yet seen any combat power exceeding Tier 5, and also why she could so easily flatten the entire dungeon without much trouble.

This system, based on Extraordinary Relics and Divine Fragments, does indeed allow rapid progression; even without Bai Yi deliberately hastening her advancement, she has already been promoted to a Level 4 Transcendent [Botanist] and can continue to advance to become a [Pharmacist] at any time.

But the downside is also very obvious; the upper limit is too rigidly restrained.

Combined with the recently emerged Undead Series of Transcendent Origins that she learned of last time, Bai Yi suspects that this world might be some God’s experimental field or an incubator.

She hopes that the God will not fly into a rage when they find out their incubator has been completely contaminated by the Swarm (mold).

The time has nearly come; it’s also time to end this game with Zhuchen and complete the occupation of the last region in this world.

Otherwise, even if Shang Ji had inspected early inside Zhuchen, and even if the Swarm was responsible for coordinating the relocation, the timing would still be a bit too rushed.

Consciously delving into the Swarm Network, the vast network of the Swarm immediately started moving according to Bai Yi’s intentions.

Evening, Taichen Palace

"Report! The front line defenses at Holy Mountain Emilia have fallen! Unprecedented number of Disaster Insects, and they move incredibly fast, bullets do no harm! There’s also a suspected appearance of the Crete Chief Justice’s figure, the front line is overwhelmed!"

"Report! The Sun Church Court defense line has lost contact! The last message sent from the forward camp told that everyone has symptoms of Blood Banyan Disease! The disease suddenly erupted, requesting remote firepower to prevent the spread of Blood Banyan Disease!"

"Report! A large number of Black Disaster suddenly surged from the ground at the Moonlight River camp, fearless of flames, requesting support..."

One after another, bad news suddenly came like a snowstorm. In just one afternoon, everything seemed to have changed.

The original expedition was going smoothly, though with considerable losses, the lands they acquired were truly solid, and the war also led to leaps in Zhuchen’s technology, especially in terms of weapons.

But everything took a sharp downturn starting from this noon.

Zhu Gang remembered that it was first reported as a disaster from Atak’s camp in Emilia, where General Huo was present at that time, relying on his Tier 5 strength, he escaped and brought the news back.

The Black Disaster, which had been previously eradicated, suddenly surged from all over the camp and were fearless of flames.

The appearing Disaster Insects filled the sky, something he had never even imagined; these insects, each comparable to a Level 3 Transcendent, would one day cover the sky like locusts.

Not only in number, but the strength of this batch of Disaster Insects was also much greater than those encountered before.

Let alone flames, even with his abilities as a Tier 5 Transcendent, as an Energy Crystal Master, he could not inflict much damage, and only managed to escape with his life relying on the Extraordinary weapon he had.

Those Disaster Insects seemed to toy with them deliberately, not advancing immediately, but instead besieging one camp after another, methodically destroying their confidence at precise intervals.

Even each time, they used different methods.

There were Level 6 Transcendents coordinating with a few powerful Disaster Insects to overpower, swarms with overwhelming numbers sweeping through, and giant Blood Flesh beings as large as giant trees...

"Gentlemen...

Any thoughts..."

Zhu Gang’s tone was slightly feeble, not at all like an Emperor with immense authority; his face also seemed much worn.

"This servant believes that the Disaster Insects must have other intentions, otherwise, they wouldn’t merely be toying with us like this.

With their strength, conquering Zhuchen would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

This servant thinks, it should be about time for them to come to us..."

"Report!"

Before Yin Hai finished speaking, the footsteps of a messenger were heard outside the hall. Although Zhu Gang knew it was probably more bad news, he had no choice but to listen.

"Speak..."

"Report! Various places within the country have reported outbreaks of Black Disaster and the spread of Disaster Insects, quickly losing contact...

Currently, we are no longer able to reach anyone..."

The messenger’s voice grew lower and lower, as if aware of the seriousness of the matter, worried about angering the Emperor.

A military-clad general by the side waved his hand:

"Go down, report back if there’s any further situation..."

This was one of his subordinates whom he intentionally dismissed, but unexpectedly, the messenger did not leave immediately and still maintained a reporting posture.

"What, there’s more..."

"No good! Retreat!"

Yin Hai was the first to sense something was amiss, a phantom book appeared in his eyes, reflecting one of its pages.

His first reaction wasn’t to attack, but to envelop Zhu Gang in a shield that flickered with pure light.

In a normal battle, one surely needs to be wary of the opponent using Beheading Tactics, and the eerie power of the Swarm was enough to support such tactics.

But, as just mentioned, the Disaster Insects crushing Zhuchen would be like stepping on ants, and who would focus on stepping on the queen ant first while crushing ants?

He suspected more that it was a kind of communicator for the Disaster Insects.

And just as he suspected, numerous branches—both fleshy and woody—sprang from the body of the messenger, converging above his head. No blood flowed from the wounds, the whole body appearing bloodless and pale.

The torso bowed drastically, the life-filled branches swaying in the air briefly as if sensing no kin around, then twisted together and gathered at the back.

The entire body bent down, limbs unnaturally twisted as if it turned into the roots of a Banyan Tree, together with the branches growing from the back forming a Blood Flesh Banyan Tree.

Everyone watched this scene closely, recognizing it as the Blood Banyan Disease mentioned in the battle report just a while ago.

As this Banyan Tree that birthed from within a human fully grew, a voice resounded in everyone’s mind in the hall.

"Emperor Zhu Gang, I hope I haven’t disturbed Your Majesty. To make contact with Your Majesty, I had no choice but to resort to such means, please forgive me.

My Master, the great Queen of the Insect Swarm, would like to discuss terms with Zhuchen, discuss the conditions under which Zhuchen can survive..."

Zhuchen Industrial Observation Report: According to recent observations via the Swarm and master’s memory comparison, Zhuchen’s industry should currently be in the early period of the second Industrial Revolution. Based on the master’s capabilities and personal experience, the top priority is to acquire a complete set of steam engine machine tools including skilled workers, followed by a complete set of mining facilities and weapon production lines...
