Chapter 199: Chapter 113: The Advantage is Mine! (4k)

Inside the All-star War Dungeon, in the Insect Swarm Underground Nest

In utter darkness, only a vine with pitch-black leaves hung high up in the cave, dangling a white Light Ball.

But this bit of light was utterly insufficient in the vast underground hollow carved out by Burrowing Worms and covered with Fungus Blankets.

Only the Insect Swarm endowed with Night Vision and witches could move freely by relying on this dim light, to see the platforms supported by Fungus Blankets on the cave walls and look into those dark and deep caves.

It wasn’t until the third day into this dungeon world that Bai Fa once again left her laboratory to come to this hollow, meeting others such as Bai Gong who had also just finished their research.

During these three days, they hadn’t been in a hurry to expand.

Rushing blindly into a new world wasn’t a good habit.

The first thing, of course, was to gather sufficient information in this world, and for such a task, what could be better than the Insect Swarm they’d brought along?

Hence, after arriving in this world, they hadn’t even left their "birthplace"; they simply dug into the ground on the spot with Burrowing Worms and relied on the Insect Swarm to start developing right there.

Even due to intelligence obtained from their lord, knowing that satellites might unreasonably be observing this world, they didn’t even deploy fungal blankets on the surface but began underground development directly, relying on Burrowing Worms to expand rapidly in all directions.

Now, three days later, the Insect Swarm had finally expanded to a sufficient scale and gathered the information they sought.

This gathering was a special departure from their experiments, coming together here in preparation for the next phase of expansion.

According to the intelligence collected by Fei Wen dispersed through the underground passageways within towns of this world.

They had descended into the central part of a continent in this world, close to the planet’s equator, which was a sparsely populated rainforest before the war commenced.

Aside from their continent, there were four other continents of various sizes in this world; further divided by certain high mountains, there were a total of seven regions.

Of course, this wasn’t important. What was more significant were the human cities and battlefields observed by the Insect Swarm.

By their efforts over these days, the Insect Swarm had already extended the tentacles of their underground passages across the entire continent they were on, even starting to reach another continent via the continental shelf.

Every human settlement on this continent had been located by the Insect Swarm.

However, the world’s population had already been drastically reduced due to war; the current statistics from the Insect Swarm indicated that the total human count might not even reach one million.

This was not merely a sharp decline in population; it was nearly at the level of human extinction.

Yet, the humans here were still keen on picking up guns, embedding iron and copper bullets into the flesh of others, blinded beyond reason.

Even the initial cause for the war had been forgotten, with no clues found on the local electronic network.

Yes, even though humanity here was embattled to the point of madness, the internet still existed and was even surprisingly smooth.

And although the population had been reduced to such an extent, with numerous nations in decline, there had still not been a large-scale nuclear war.

The entire world’s situation could be described as abnormal.

Even though the witches present weren’t experts in such matters, they could sense something distinctly amiss.

What also puzzled them at the same time was the complete absence of traces of other Lords.

Throughout this entire continent, they hadn’t found any Combat Units of other descended Lords, even making them wonder if the other Lords had spawned on different continents.

If that were truly the case, it would be somewhat troublesome.

After entering this world, they had tried and found that it was possible to construct territory buildings.

It was only that they couldn’t directly generate them using the irrational material consumption of their panels, but as long as they were manually constructed, they could still function like normal territory buildings.

The materials for their experiments in the past few days all came from altars built with the materials they’d brought along.

That also meant that Combat Units of other Lords would be developing during this time, potentially marginally affecting their plans for the future, adding some twists.

However, all of this would be resolved tonight.

The over four hundred fifty witches they’d brought along were more than sufficient to serve as infection sources in the settlements on this continent.

This long-decided plan hadn’t needed much discussion, but due to some recent abnormal developments, the witches and the attending Swarm Consciousness added a few details before quickly passing this plan.

As "Pathogens," the witches swiftly traveled through Fungus Blanket channels with the help of the Insect Swarm to prepare at various locations.

They planned to initiate simultaneous witch infections by nightfall, exploiting the darkness.

Just one night would be enough to bring the entire continent under their control!

By then, the threat posed by other Lords would dissipate entirely amid the hundreds of thousands of witches.

The strangeness of this world’s war could then be answered in the minds of the many humans!

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, in the ocean

A somewhat shabby three-masted sailing ship drifted through the seas, with the Five Sea Dominator standing next to the ship’s figurehead, gazing into the distant shadows of the land.

She had lost a great deal: her ship, her status as a Lord, her subordinates, and she had even lost her gender.
