The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen
Chapter 112 - 28 Begin

Chapter 112: Chapter 28 Begin

Emilia, Holy Mountain, a deserted village

"Zhuchen is going to war? Were the people we fought against from the Sun Church Court? Were we mistaken for people from Emilia?"

Upon learning the information passed on by Bai Yi from the orange cat, Bai Sheng immediately understood the whole story.

The orange cat took out a bottle of blood-red potion and turned to Bai Fa, saying:

"The cat is not clear about that, but Bai Yi also wanted me to ask you.

She has a few genes with Elemental Affinity, and you might be taken back tomorrow for Fusion to enhance your Combat Power a bit.

Also, this potion can grant you some temporary Extraordinary Abilities, which she let me bring to you.

Is there anything else you need here?"

Bai Sheng shook her head; they had not been idle these past two days but had instead led the Insect Swarm directly into the mountains.

After entering the native lands of Emilia, they barely encountered any Transcendents, and those primitive Melee Weapons couldn’t inflict much damage on the Insect Swarm.

The advance was nearly unchallenged all the way, with the only resistance encountered being at the highest peak of this mountain range.

Above the snowline, there surprisingly remained a tribe, equipped with a well-armed Transcendent squad.

Had their highest Combat Power not been just a Level 4 Transcendent, they might have indeed inflicted some losses on the Insect Swarm.

After destroying several small settlements they encountered along the way, the number of the Insect Swarm successfully skyrocketed to twenty thousand.

The needle erosion insects, having exceeded ten thousand in number, had once again gained new abilities; they could now directly connect with the targets and communicate temporarily through the Swarm Consciousness and Telekinesis, no longer needing to go around in circles to communicate.

Now, Bai Sheng had almost complete control over the entire mountain range relying on the Insect Swarm. To grow further, they could only advance to the large settlements on the plains beyond.

It seemed she was quickly transitioning from a combat-oriented Hero to a commanding one.

And this time, they had obtained an upgraded version of the needle erosion insects, which should now be called Erosion Worms.

Having just connected the Erosion Worms into the Swarm Network, Bai Sheng became aware of the new abilities obtained by the Insect Swarm through the network.

Not only did they possess Fire Resistance and cold resistance, but their original Regeneration ability had been significantly enhanced, along with new Attack Skills, which filled Bai Sheng with even more confidence.

Suddenly recalling another matter, Bai Sheng hastily said:

"Cat Boss, we’re ready; we’ll start attacking the settlement below tonight. Could you, as last time, cover our offense?"

"Tonight? No problem," the orange cat recall the evening’s schedule and readily agreed.

Recently, Bai Yi had been busy tending to those flowers and plants, without any time to play with the cat, so the orange cat wouldn’t miss out on a good show since it was available.

Watching the orange cat disappear inside the room, Bai Sheng looked towards Bai Fa, who had remained silent.

"Since Cat Boss has agreed, let’s proceed as planned last time; you’ll use the Array.

But this time, the focus is on the Reproduction of new needle erosion insects."

Bai Fa nodded: "Should we continue with the ritual?"

"Continue, but prioritize the class change for the awakened Erosion Worms."

The two walked out of the wooden hut that served as a temporary residence, where outside the door needle erosion insects had placed freshly dug wildflowers and weeds on the ground, meeting the requirements for the ritual.

Various containers filled with Water were set aside, waiting for the ritual to begin.

For the past two days, in addition to Reproduction, the class change ritual had been carried out concurrently. However, due to limitations in resources like plants and Water needed for the ritual, to this day, less than six thousand needle erosion insects had successfully become "Gardeners."

This was the result of stripping clean the vegetation from two nearby mountain peaks, where every plant that could be used for the ritual had been uprooted to become part of the Insect Swarm ritual.

Once the ritual was completed, it seamlessly transitioned into food for the Insect Swarm, with no waste whatsoever.

Inside the room, the Swarm Consciousness of the Erosion Worm became aware of what to do through the network. An Erosion Worm flew to the center of the ritual, scattering Water over three plants and the wooden Array below, then systematically cutting the three plants.

Upon completion, a surge of power flowed into it, transforming it into a Transcendent creature.

Feeling that everything had come to an end, this Erosion Worm quickly flew out from the center of the Array, while the needle erosion insects promptly replaced the plants, awaiting the next Erosion Worm.

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, with the Swarm Consciousness ensuring that no mistakes ever occurred.

Bai Sheng only needed to give orders, and everything would be completed naturally.

Had Bai Sheng known what a video game was, she would have marveled at how commanding these Insects felt just like playing a game.

Just by pressing F2A, the Insect Swarm would make the best choices following her own thought process and achieve the desired outcome.

Leaving the deserted village at a leisurely pace, Bai Sheng arrived at a wide-open cliff top, which happened to offer a view of the distant settlement.

With the advantage of the mountain’s height, the encircling low walls and winding streets of the settlement were faintly visible.

That is tonight’s target, marked on the map brought by Zhuchen as...

"Atak!"

......

Deep into the night, the sky was veiled with clouds, and the lightless outdoors was so dark one couldn’t see their own fingers.

But for the Insect Swarm, this was not an issue.

The pitch-black exoskeletons served as the Insect Swarm’s best camouflage; in this primitive settlement reliant solely on fire for light, the low city walls were hardly an obstacle.

Bai Sheng and Bai Fa strolled leisurely from the foot of the mountain, approaching the walls; the wooden gate was already wide open, with a faint scent of blood wafting from inside.

A needle erosion insect lay lightly upon Bai Sheng’s right shoulder, acting as a conduit to the Swarm Consciousness, pouring everything the swarm encountered directly into Bai Sheng’s mind.

"All four walls are under control, heading to the military station."

"The South Watchtower is under control, no effective resistance encountered, undetected."

"Fei Wen has marked the ’Beast Ring,’ suspected presence of a level 5 Transcendent."

"..."

Having climbed atop a high tower next to the city gate, Bai Sheng looked inward at the settlement, cross-referencing the information shared in his mind, calculating the time.

"It’s time!"

Bai Sheng said to Bai Fa behind him, who then raised the scales in hand, and two rules were declared.

"Hear no sound at this place!

Extinguish all flames at this place!"

The last of the firelight inside the city went out, and ambient noise faded to silence.

In his mind, Bai Sheng issued one order after another to the Swarm Consciousness:

"Needle erosion insects, abandon stealth, prioritize killing Transcendents!

Erosion Worms, prioritize Reproduction over all other tasks, breed at full capacity without restraint!

Fei Wen, begin searching for the level 5 Transcendents within the city!"

Over the past few days, it wasn’t just needle erosion insects that had bred; Fei Wen, serving as the main scouts for the needle erosion insects, saw their numbers nearly reaching ten thousand.

Apart from a few patrolling, the majority of Fei Wen settled in every corner within the city, providing vision for the needle erosion insects and Bai Sheng.

Through the perspective of Fei Wen, once Bai Sheng issued the instructions, the swarm shifted from stealthy assassinations to the most efficient slaughter mode.

In an instant, cries of shock rose within the city, but due to the constraints of the two rules, almost no one detected the abnormality as long as the Insect Swarm had not knocked on their doors.

As for how Fei Wen heard, the telekinetic hearing of the Insect Swarm was not because they no longer needed it due to the amplification of the Swarm Consciousness; it’s just no longer indispensable.

Since the numbers of the Insect Swarm increased, the Spiritual Value skyrocketed; the previously resource-intensive telekinetic hearing was now utilized without the need to scrimp and save.

Amid the cacophony shared by Fei Wen echoing in his ears, Bai Sheng anticipated.

Without those two commands just now, perhaps this settlement would already be ablaze with fire, and the cries would shake the heavens...

"The scent of blood has already drifted here, the lions in the ’Beast Ring’ are becoming agitated."

"The military station is encountering resilient resistance, lion tracks discovered, and they wield non-fire Transcendent abilities, Erosion Worm reinforcements requested."

Two pieces of information traveled from the Swarm Network to Bai Sheng’s brain, although this was within her expectations.

This was, after all, the largest settlement established by the Mad Lion Tribe; if it could be easily subdued, Bai Sheng would suspect some kind of trap lurking here.

The military station definitely needed to be eradicated swiftly. As long as other combat forces were removed, even if there really were level 5 Transcendents in this settlement, there would be no cause for concern.

Just two days ago, they had already slain once, and today, not only had the number of the Insect Swarm significantly increased, but they also had the more powerful Erosion Worms.

But if the Erosion Worms were deployed...

Although Bai Sheng knew that the Erosion Worms had acquired a potent Reproduction gene from Bai Yi, it had yet to be officially tested.

Bai Sheng remained uncertain in her heart.

"How goes the breeding of the Erosion Worms?"

The Swarm Consciousness swiftly replied to Bai Sheng with a number that shocked her:

"1600"

......

Atak: A settlement established by the main branch of the Mad Lion Tribe, located to the southwest of the Holy Mountain. As the once most powerful tribe, although their influence has waned due to the intervention of Transcendent powers, there is an old saying, ’Even a weakened lion is stronger than an orange cat...’
