Chapter 1944: 0429 One Punch! (Long chapter asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_4

“Ah, it’s truly like a dream.”

Triss sighed softly.

Levi asked:

“What’s wrong, my lady?”

Triss shook her head, remaining silent.

After a long silence, she finally said:

“Nothing much, just feeling that time is a butcher’s knife, I am getting old.”

Levi laughed and said:

“What are you talking about, my lady? By the standards of mortals, we are all old fossils; by the standards of wizards, we are in our prime. Moreover, as long as we are not nearing the end of our lifespans, with the accumulation of knowledge and increase of spells, wizards grow stronger with age, not weaker. Why would you even speak of growing old?”

Triss hummed:

“Forget it, a freak genius like you wouldn’t understand.”

Levi defended:

“I’m not a freak…”

…

Several days later.

Nightmare World.

Outside the Black Dragon Territory, Chaotic Wilderness.

“Kill them! Exterminate the insects!”

“Protect the Black Dragon Territory!”

The Bloodsucking Demon Dragon led the Dragon Palace People, and the Faceless Infant Dragon commanded the Nightmare Creature army in battle against swathes of “dark clouds,” spell-like abilities shining brilliantly!

Wherever the dark clouds went, the black storm followed like a shadow.

Upon closer inspection, these weren’t dark clouds but legions of Nightmare Creatures the size of hounds, resembling locusts.

Their bodies were gaunt, with sharp teeth, and their heads were bizarrely varied, including emaciated human faces and various animal forms.

Most of these Nightmare Creatures were less than Level 1 in strength, with only a small portion at Level 2 or Level 3.

They are scientifically known as “Famine Worms” or “Nightmare Locusts.”

Individually weak and easily exterminated, yet a single swarm often numbers in the millions. At intervals, they erupt en masse in the Nightmare World, decimating everything in their path if not swiftly eradicated, even the Nightmare Mother Trees.

Although the Famine Worms are frail, by amassing into swarms they can create powerful “Negative Energy Storms,” making them difficult to completely eliminate. Moreover, they lay an exceedingly large number of eggs throughout the underground of the Nightmare World, making them impossible to fully exterminate.

The locust disaster cycle includes minor, median, and major occurrences.

The minor occurrences every hundred years are small in scale, which most Nightmare Lords can easily overcome, even reaping a large harvest of Nightmare Crystals to fertilize the main trees.

The median ones every thousand years bring incredibly large swarms that can easily sweep over most small and medium-sized Multidimensional Planes, and the swarms birth terrifying special entities, “Famine Predators,” with powers above level 6.

The major ones every ten thousand years bring enormous upheavals to the Nightmare World, forming ultimate locust disasters capable of ravaging large planes, possibly even spawning “Famine Tyrants” and “Famine Queens” rivaling level 9 or even level-10 strongmen!

With each major occurrence, territories of Nightmare Overlords are swallowed by the locust disaster.

For the original inhabitants of the Nightmare World, this is no longer strange.

It’s only because the Nightmare is sufficiently powerful; otherwise, other civilizations would have long perished.

Yet, the locust disasters come hurriedly and leave just as swiftly.

Their lifespan is extremely short, even for special entities such as the Famine Tyrants and Famine Queens, they do not live long.

All locusts, the Queen included, live no longer than a year, with the stronger entities living proportionally longer.

Survive this year, and every territory gains substantial benefits.

Especially the Nightmare Mother Trees, which can grow robustly, and in some Chaotic Wildernesses, new unclaimed territories can emerge, sprouting new saplings.

This is an excellent opportunity for the lords to expand their domains.

This time’s locust disaster was just the minor hundred-year occurrence.

The Black Dragon Territory has already experienced it several times.

There is no need for the Dragon Palace People, as the local Nightmare Creature army can eradicate the locusts on their own.

Therefore, Levi was not particularly concerned.

But he knew from the history of the Nightmare World.

After this locust disaster, in Nora year 251, it will be the thousand-year event.

Then it will be necessary to call for the battle groups to assist, to prevent the loss of territory.

After the thousand-year locust disaster, another thousand years, in Nora year 1251, will be the “Major Year.”

This is what genuinely concerned Levi.

With the current rate of his and his domain’s development, it would be inadequate to withstand the level-9 disaster a thousand years later.

By then, one can only hope that the level-9 disaster would not come seeking them.

Preferably, it would go after the Blood Rain Overlord or the Tyrant of Horror, incidentally resolving a major concern for Levi.

According to Levi’s analysis, the Famine Worms likely embody the fear of “hunger” felt by most beings within the Multidimensional Plane.

As a transcendent, he feels nothing. However, for most ordinary people and beings, their primary concern is not whether they can break through, but whether they might starve to death tomorrow.

Several days later.

The locust disaster was thoroughly eradicated without causing the slightest disturbance.

The Nightmare Crystals piled up like mountains at the foot of the Nightmare Main Tree.

The Bloodsucking Demon Dragon said:

“Lord, this locust disaster has passed.”

Levi responded:

“Well done, go claim your reward from the Black Lotus Beast.”

The Bloodsucking Demon Dragon rubbed its claws together, similarly to how flies rub their hands.

“Thank you, boss.”

After consuming a few more Dragon Scale Fruits, it felt it could make a dash for the Level 6 Middle Stage realm, catching up to the pace of its elder brother, the Black Lotus Beast.

In recent years, their youngest sister, the Faceless Infant Dragon, has advanced as quickly as if taking steroids, rapidly catching up to it, causing considerable anxiety.

…

Five years later.

Nora year 156.

Land of Darkness, Sauron Pan-Plane.
