Chapter 1808: Chapter 549 Worm Disaster Breakout

"The Chosen One of ’Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’ had a brief encounter with Leonard Churchill, so there was no violent conflict."

But just a single glance during that encounter left Leonard’s doppelganger severely injured by the will of the Outer God.

Fortunately, the spell was dispelled.

In the Flood Gang, inside a suite.

Leonard’s main body was also aware of what had happened, and as he was reading the Classic Books, his face suddenly turned grim.

Beside him, the senses of both Camilla and Tracy Garcia were extremely sharp, and they also noticed a terrifying and eerie air had appeared in the city.

When they saw Leonard’s expression, both women guessed that something must have happened.

Tracy immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"

Leonard replied gravely, "It’s Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta... The people of the Orlan Royal Court likely want to turn the entire Sinless City into a nest for insects..."

He briefly explained what had just occurred.

As soon as he spoke, the frowns on the women’s faces deepened.

The three of them were among the few in the world who knew the true horror of the ’Seven Catastrophes Monarchs.’

Upon hearing the name of that Outer God, they immediately understood the gravity of the situation.

Tracy, still with a hint of disbelief, confirmed, "They want to turn all the people in Sinless City into spirit mediums and feed for that Outer God?"

Camilla also fell into deep thought.

Leonard nodded, "Yes. [Gu God] has already manifested... It seems they have been setting the stage for a very long time. Now, the entire city is likely infested. No one can stop it."

Tracy’s eyes sharpened slightly as she said, "No wonder I heard that the people of the Royal Court were gathering orphans and beggars from everywhere; it seems they have been nurturing the vessel for the God Descending for quite some time."

They had considered this possibility before.

But they never thought that the Orlan Royal Court would be so insane.

After all, the manifestation of the Insect Mother not only sacrificed a million residents of Sinless City.

Even more terrifying, it carried endless future troubles!

This method was like bringing a nuclear bomb into one’s own home. While it eliminates the enemy, it also leaves an endless risk to one’s own land.

The cost far outweighs the benefits of the spoils of war.

...

The more she thought about it, the more irate Tracy’s expression became.

After all, as a High Priest, she inherited the duty of perpetuating the Card Master Civilization along with its legacy.

She could clearly see the repercussions of unleashing the Insect Mother.

Had the ancestors sealed away the Outer Gods with their lives, only for these people to unleash them so easily?

The Seven Catastrophes Monarchs were ancient Gods capable of collapsing civilizations, but if one were to rank which posed the greatest threat to humanity, ’Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’ and ’Plague Source Takpara’ would definitely be in the top two!

Where the insect race passes, all living creatures perish.

Not just humans; everything would be devoured.

But the situation had reached a point of no return.

Leonard also figured out the Orlan Royal Court’s real intention and continued, "Those people likely want to use this method to uproot the Southern Continent’s last stronghold in the East Wilderness. Without a foothold, the Orlan Royal Court no longer has to worry about being decapitated by sudden raids..."

What initially seemed like a mere game of spoils of war over the Titan Mech now appeared as a series of calculated moves.

Completely destroying Sinless City and killing everyone.

Once the Insect Mother established a nest in Sinless City, it became a natural barrier.

No human would be able to survive there for countless years to come.

With no foothold, the people of the Southern Continent would have to retreat to the Old Continent, naturally ceasing their assaults on the city.

The risk of high-ranking members of the Orlan Royal Court being decapitated would diminish.

From a military viewpoint, this was indeed a strategic move.

But the problem lay in the immense hidden danger.

Far too great for the small Orlan Royal Court to bear.

This didn’t seem like a decision made by someone of sound mind.

This was what surprised Leonard.

As High Priest, Tracy naturally knew the entirety of the Orlan Royal Court’s strength.

So her tone grew increasingly unkind: "It seems the rumors are true; Arthur has already been contaminated by the [Tyrant] Profession Card..."

The last Emperor of Taren, Alduin Closer Augustus, also became a Mad King due to the uncontrollable contamination of the Demon Mark.

The current decisions of the Orlan Royal Court undeniably bore the absurdity of a Tyrant.

Or perhaps the New King Arthur had already been backlashed and controlled by the Outer God.

Whether it was Moon God Arachne or the two Outer Gods sealed in the jars held by the Royal Family, they were never entities humans could control.

For the sake of kingship, the New King acted recklessly.

Foolish and selfish!

If the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs were so easy to control, the Taren Empire wouldn’t have collapsed.

But no matter which situation, it was not what Leonard and the other two wanted to see.

....

The Flood Gang was still bustling, seemingly unaffected by the cataclysm.

Leonard and the other two stood in front of the window, watching the lively scene below.

The drinkers and gamblers were completely unaware of the impending crisis, still fervently indulging their passions.

Even though they knew the current situation was irreversible, there was not the slightest intention to leave in the eyes of Leonard and the other two, only deep contemplation and gravity.

For the three of them, if they wanted to leave, no one in Sinless City could stop them.

They only meant to observe the game between the Orlan Royal Court and the Iris Legion, but now they saw such an absurd set of moves.

As Leonard looked at the scene before him, countless lines of cause and effect played out in his mind.

But for some reason, the dirty little face of the girl named ’Winter’ whom he met in Sinless City kept floating before his eyes.
