Chapter 1033: Chapter 685: Meeting the Madam

The words of the Insect God were intriguing.

She probably didn’t know that Li Er had already wrestled with an Evil God.

Li Changhe thought to himself without offering an explanation and continued to listen to the Insect God.

The Insect God briefly described how she had encountered the combined attacks of the Great Tang and the Chaos Faction in another world.

After nearly being beheaded, she fled in panic to this world,

and unexpectedly discovered the existence of the Xuan City Lord, a Divine Existence that gathered strength from believers. To evade the pursuit of the Great Tang and to recover her strength quickly,

the Insect God planned to devour the Xuan City Lord. However, she underestimated the strength of the Xuan City Lord.

She also underestimated her own injuries. After a battle that was nearly a mutual destruction, their consciousnesses began to influence and merge with each other.

The heir to the power of the Xuan City Lord was none other than the Xuan City Queen.

Using her inheritance from the Xuan City Lord, she suppressed the consciousness of the Insect God while developing her new powers.

With two portions of Divinity, she might already be the strongest human in this world...

That is, if she could still be called human.

She could target both males and females differently with the inheritance of the Xuan City Lord, and she had discovered the uses of Divine Blood.

It wasn’t the Insect God Blood Water familiar to Li Changhe, but the actual blood that flowed from the Insect God’s body. Here, let’s call it Insect God’s True Blood.

Its infection effect was hundreds of times stronger than that of the Insect God Blood Water, but the Xuan City Queen had found a way to suppress the infection and mutations.

The Queen turned the True Blood into a potion that could strengthen the bodies of individual humans. Although it wasn’t perfect and there were occasional failures, like those Mutants,

she was now able to mass-produce these warriors.

At the same time, she had the capabilities of the Insect God, able to transform into a hive consciousness and command all the True Blood warriors and Mutants.

From this perspective, aside from her inability to birth the Insect Race herself, she could be considered half an Insect Queen.

What the Insect God feared most was that the other was slowly eroding her authority.

Already in a severely injured state, she was utterly unable to stop any of it.

Back then, Li Er and the Evil God Avatar had directly shattered the Insect God’s throne, and with the golden spear of Xuan City, she had no ability to resist.

"If you can destroy these weapons, I will become your most loyal ally and am willing to lend you all my strength,"

the Insect God attempted to propose a deal.

An alliance with a powerful Divine being? It seemed quite tempting.

Li Changhe looked at the Insect God’s exquisitely beautiful face, chuckled, and weighed the Big Lead in his hand. No matter how the Old Lead changed or devoured, its weight never altered.

Yet some folks didn’t know their own weight.

"Insect God, you probably don’t fully grasp the current situation. Are you in a position to set terms?"

The Insect God, from the start at Mysterious Island, had always shown her malice towards humans,

referring to humans directly as food, and it was her who had single-handedly destroyed Mysterious Island. Those humans who had been influenced by her and had nearly become her believers, all perished on Mysterious Island.

Her promises came with no guarantees.

Besides, don’t be deceived by the Insect God’s pitiable appearance now, looking like a gorgeous and charming young girl. She seemed incredibly alluring.

But in reality, she was definitely one of the most difficult divine creatures to deal with.

Being part of the Insect Race, her abilities were sufficient to devour an entire world. In the disaster fog, the Insect Queen was responsible for causing the greatest casualties among the players as a Terror Devil.

Actually, the alliance between the Great Tang and the Chaos Faction alone was telling.

This creature was definitely not an easy one to deal with.

Considering the foul temper of the Chaos Evil God, the fact that it was willing to join forces with humans to fight was outrageous. It was bandits inviting bandits, utterly preposterous.

Back then, the armored warrior brigade led personally by Li Er, the God’s Chosen of the Chaos Faction, along with a massive number of demons and even an Evil God Avatar were deployed.

With such an assembly, they still couldn’t kill the Insect God, so to speak of her being pitiable... that would be an overstatement.

’I am the insect god,’ ’I am a divinity,’ ’A divinity does not allow for the theft of secrets.’

The insect god seemed to be trying to convey its identity as a divinity, implying it would not deceive humans.

It appears that some divine creatures are particularly fond of emphasizing their statuses, especially those that have lived for an exceedingly long time. They take great pride in their title of ’Divinity.’

This sort of declaration is essentially non-existent among players.

Take the girl, for example, in a certain storyline, the local natives referred to her as the Ocean Goddess. In the port city, every ship had to worship her statue before setting sail. They were devout followers.

The girl herself, however, found such claims distasteful. Li Changhe, on the other hand, was quite interested in the title of ’Man of the Ocean Goddess.’

Of course, Li Changhe’s presence would probably be considered a profanation of a divinity by the natives there, and he’d likely be used as firewood, right?

As for profanation... um... indeed.

Heh heh heh...

So, Li Changhe shelved the fond memories of the previous night and originally wanted to say, ’God? How many masters can you muster?’

But after giving it some thought, he figured the swarm that the insect god turned up would probably be countless. That phrase of the Soviet Father wouldn’t be suitable for her.

Thus, he changed his tune and said, "Here with me, bringing up your divinity does nothing."

Old Lead also made a ’slurping’ sound in response.

Several seconds passed before the insect god continued to form words in blood.

’Perhaps, you have already obtained divinity, and have even slain several Divine Existences’

’But the Queen of Xuan City is entirely unlike any opponent you’ve faced before’

’Only by joining forces with me can we possibly be victorious’

"Alright, I got it," Li Changhe nodded. "Then I’ll go back and think about how I can resolve this issue without joining forces with you."

’You will return’

"Ah, sure, sure, sure." Li Changhe turned and left, ignoring the blood words the insect god materialized afterward.

Release the insect god? Too irrational.

No matter how dangerous or insane the insect god made the Queen of Xuan City out to be.

In fact, all it did was convey to Li Changhe the message that joining forces with her was the only way to combat the Queen of Xuan City.

The insect god herself was the most dangerous one!

To release a monster like the insect god to fight against the Queen of Xuan City? Forget it.

If possible, let her continue to be suppressed like this.

Li Changhe, carrying Old Lead, hurried back to the stone pillar.

After making contact with the insect god, the players’ task was updated. They needed to return and discuss properly. There was also Hou Junji and Zhang Liang to consider. Hopefully, they would cooperate and not be ungrateful.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Chenhai Empire, carrying the still unconscious three-armed girl, returned to the inn.

As they climbed out of the well, Chen Yu and Qiu Wentian were already waiting in the yard.

She had to quickly investigate the three-armed girl’s memories and intelligence with the Nightmare Sequence.

When Yang Ming and the other soldiers saw Chen Yu and Qiu Wentian, they quickly reviewed their memories.

Then, they decisively bowed with clasped fists and said, "Greetings to the Second Madam and Third Madam."

Upon seeing a group of Chenhai soldiers saluting them, both were slightly stunned.

Qiu Wentian waved her hand with a smile and said, "You’re mistaken, I’m not. I am merely your general’s friend. As for her, you should indeed address her as the Second Madam."

She was actually just teasing Chen Yu since Chen Yu and a certain someone were close, and there had been a small awkward incident with the Queen of Xuan City before.

But Qiu Wentian did not realize this.

Chen Yu’s face turned peach red and offered no retort to her teasing.

(Belated Happy New Year!)
