The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen
Chapter 171 - 85: On the Possibility of a Vest (3k)

Chapter 171: Chapter 85: On the Possibility of a Vest (3k)

The moment Jun Lin saw Anonymous, he had already recognized the prototype of the "tight suit" on him.

Although in his past life he had never seen a similar Insect Swarm, it did not hinder his ability to recognize the nature of the tight suit.

Today, due to the disappearance of the Insect Swarm, his vigilance had increased greatly, and upon seeing the Insect Swarm Armor on Anonymous, many speculations emerged in his mind combining the information from his past life memories.

Was this Anonymous the mastermind behind those Insect Swarms?

Had he not died after challenging Fan Mao in his past life but instead secretly hid and quietly developed the Insect Swarm, returning like the Undead Mage to seek revenge?

In his past life, Anonymous was also very mysterious; at least he had never come into contact with him, not even knowing his soldier type.

If in his previous life he also primarily showcased himself with Armor far removed from the Insect Swarm, then it’s likely others wouldn’t have connected it to the Insect Swarm!

He also wondered how Anonymous in his past life managed to perfectly disappear from everyone’s sight, perhaps deliberately challenging Fan Mao just to fake his death and escape?

The more Jun Lin thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, but he decided that he needed to probe further.

But just as he came back to his senses, he realized that everyone’s attention was focused on him, and Jun Lin immediately realized his lapse, quickly putting on a smile as if nothing had happened.

"I remember you, you are the first Lord in our region who submitted a bug!

However, this does not mean you qualify to join us."

This remark made Bai Yi, who had planned to give Anonymous a hard time, glance at Jun Lin again.

Wait, wasn’t it me who was offended by Anonymous? She hadn’t even spoken yet, so why was Jun Lin’s aggression higher than hers?

She was ready to have Anonymous display his power and then intentionally cause his Biological Armor and Bionic Golden Core, which he used as a source of combat power, to malfunction, making a fool out of Anonymous.

Could it be that Anonymous had also offended Jun Lin?

But Jun Lin’s interruption sparked another idea in Bai Yi.

Speaking of which, wasn’t Anonymous the first Lord she successfully parasitized...

He had actively accepted the Parasite, though he was unaware that the two equipment pieces he treasured were Specialized Facehuggers capable of deep parasitism.

Does this mean she could try to control him?

Although this action was inhumane, there was no need for humanity towards those who had wronged her!

It was unclear if after such parasitism he would still be considered an independent Lord or if he would be deemed dead and defeated by her.

Either outcome was acceptable to Bai Yi, both serving as revenge for the past deceit.

Moreover, if this was feasible, she could potentially gain another Lord disguise...

Of course, if she were to start parasitizing, Bai Yi wouldn’t do so in front of everyone, but rather wait until he left and returned to his territory.

Yes, since he might become her disguise, naturally she couldn’t lose face and instructed several Parasites to exert full force and remove the original restrictions.

Secretly, she sent commands through the Swarm Network to the Parasites embedded in Anonymous. The Parasites, under direct orders from the Queen, suddenly became active.

To others, it appeared that the tight suit on Anonymous began to wriggle in response to Jun Lin’s provocation, his magical power reaction was unmasked, showcasing his 4th-tier strength.

Even Anonymous was somewhat stunned; provoked, the reaction of his Biological Armor seemed stronger than his own, feeling as if it could exert more power than usual.

But as the Biological Armor masked his expressions, he quickly recovered and retorted to Jun Lin:

"Before asking others to showcase their strength, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?"

Seeing the twitching flesh, Jun Lin became more certain of his suspicions.

This Anonymous definitely could not escape relation with the Insect Swarm!

This suit, resembling battle gear of the Insect Clan, definitely was of the 4th tier, so the Insect Swarm at this time period was just above 4th tier...

As the master of the Insect Clan, Anonymous would surely provide himself with the best protection, which was still just at the 4th tier, indicating that the current Insect Swarm was only around the 3rd tier.

This meant that the Insect Swarm was likely still in a weak phase and could be eradicated prematurely!

He had not previously realized this fact; the power of the Insect Swarm in his past life was ingrained in his mind, overlooking the fact that the Insect Swarm needed to grow!

Indeed, even the Insect Swarm’s strength in his past life was similar to theirs, just slightly stronger, reliant on numbers and various troublesome abilities which made them seem formidable to him.

The several strong Lords from his past life, including those present here, hadn’t been much affected by that insect calamity, but in this life, he remained among the top-tier Lords and as long as he...

However, even though he was eager to alert everyone of the danger posed by Anonymous and had thoughts of immediately executing him, he ultimately gave up.

Even though he held a Heavenly Thunder Talisman theoretically capable of killing a 5th tier, he couldn’t justify an immediate attack in such a setting.

With the territory previously occupied by the Insect Swarm now vanished, he had no proof, and acting impulsively, successful or not, would result in hostility from the other Lords, potentially leading to a united assault against him!

Although he is willing to save more Lords, it is under the premise of not harming himself!

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jun Lin finally gave up these ideas completely and decided to first pretend to cooperate with this Insect Swarm Master and then figure out a way to reveal his true face!

"I am Jun Lin, and I believe I should be quite famous."

"So it’s Mechanical Workshop’s Jun Lin, my disrespect, then may I ask Mr. Jun Lin, have I met the requirements?

Would you like Mr. Jun Lin to give me some guidance?"

Although everyone couldn’t see the Anonymous’s facial expressions, they could sense a provocative tone from his voice.

It clearly looked like the two were about to start fighting, but neither Iron Blood, who was presiding over the meeting, nor the Corpse King and Landon beside him, had any intention to stop them. They were ready to watch the drama unfold.

This was the first meeting for these top Lords, and everyone in attendance possessed abilities that exceeded the conventional limits; simply relying on rankings was no longer accurate.

If they could use this opportunity to gauge some of the others’ strengths, it would be a gain. They could establish their specific standings and know how loud they could speak in the forthcoming small meeting.

So instead of discouraging the fight, in their hearts, they were all silently shouting: Fight, fight!

Jun Lin indeed accepted the challenge as they wished, but to their surprise, he actually got up from his chair, seemingly ready to take action personally, rather than letting his Hero Unit fight.

"If Mr. Anonymous is willing, Jun Lin will certainly accompany."

The momentum of the two immediately collided. At this point, Iron Blood had to step in, moving to the side of the two men, apparently acting as the referee:

"Hit until you make contact, no killing."

Having the opportunity to prove himself, Anonymous naturally didn’t want to miss out. As soon as Jun Lin stood firm, Anonymous couldn’t wait to make a move, using his Bionic Golden Core’s superpower to conjure a fireball for trials, while letting the Biological Armor control Telekinesis to wrap around himself, forming a Telekinesis Barrier.

He had already seen Jun Lin’s detailed stats through his own Lord Talent, but some abilities were missing, including Jun Lin’s superpower.

And this only meant one thing—many of Jun Lin’s abilities were tier 4!

Compared to Anonymous, Jun Lin seemed much more relaxed, casually dispersing the fireball. In front of him, anything less than tier 4 or any special Fire Series posed no threat.

Taking out a Longsword from his inventory, Jun Lin did not approach for a melee fight, but took to the air. With his sword as his tool, he started to cast spells.

Anonymous was not to be outdone, also flying up relying on his Telekinesis superpower. He didn’t have many tactics, but he trusted his defensive power and strength enhanced by the Biological Armor, charging at Jun Lin to bring him into close combat.

One chasing and one fleeing, Jun Lin leisurely flew at the front, always maintaining just a fraction faster speed than Anonymous, occasionally throwing out spells like Palmar Thunder and True Qi Finger, but all were blocked by Anonymous’s Telekinesis Barrier.

For a time, it seemed neither could do anything to the other.

Even due to their movements, many Low-level Lords who hadn’t had the chance to get close were drawn to spectate.

"Is this, this the top Lords?"

"Top Lords can fly through the sky and burrow through the earth, I’m still at my territory instructing those minions..."

"My god, so cool, is that flying Cultivator in front one of us? But aren’t we playing Mutation Evolution?"

The two flying in the air didn’t care about the discussion of the Low-level Lords below, both found each other quite difficult. Without resorting to special measures, they simply couldn’t handle each other.

His Telekinesis could have trapped Jun Lin directly, but after trying once and Jun Lin breaking free, he never again came close to his range of Telekinesis control, continuing to engage at long range.

Only now, he switched to using Talismans, which saved more Spiritual Power.

Anonymous knew he would be surely defeated if this continued, and was already preparing to use his secret weapon!

Suddenly a book appeared in his hand, ancient and bound in cloth, containing just a few dozen pages. When flipped open, the pages inside depicted various simple drawings of lightning and fierce winds.

This was a Transcendent Weapon, another gain from an instance, which he got from the City Lord who attacked his shipyard, an undeniable tier 4 Weapon!

Its ability was to record various natural phenomena, imprinting them as attacks into the pages. Once torn off, they could be released without any cost!

He didn’t hesitate, tearing off five pages immediately. In a moment, swift lightning, searing light beams, and sharp Wind Blades assaulted Jun Lin.

Seeing Anonymous causing trouble, he no longer held back, preparing to cast a tier 4 spell, thrusting his Longsword forward with a fierce sword light.

Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, with tier 4 powers flying chaotically, even Iron Blood found it difficult to intervene. But if he didn’t act and a real injury or even death occurred, it would be hard for him to manage.

Just as he was about to reluctantly use his trump card, a sudden change occurred in the air.

At the center of their collision, without any warning, it darkened as if all the light was absorbed. Both of their attacks entered into it and then disappeared without a trace.

As the closest to that pitch-dark ball, both Jun Lin and Anonymous felt the surrounding Magic Power, or rather Spiritual Power, fell silent momentarily, causing both to pause in their attacks amid the indistinguishable voices coming from below, forcing them to stop.

"Alright, gentlemen, that’s enough. It’s just a match; don’t take it too seriously."
