The Insect Mother's Death, Sacrifice
"Bang!"
The insects guarding the Insect Hive were knocked away again and then crashed heavily against the outer wall of the Insect Hive.
The outer wall of the Insect Hive tumbled and rolled away into the soil due to the enormous impact, revealing the crushed earthworms inside.
Earthworms quickly filled the gap from behind.
Some of the earthworms that came into contact with the knocked-away insect transferred energy to it, helping it recover from some of its injuries.
However, Shisui's attacks are powerful and heavy, and when it collides with the Kagune, it will inevitably become contaminated with Rc Cells.
Therefore, this recovery is merely a drop in the ocean compared to the already severe and spreading injuries inside the insect's body.
Four other insects suffered similar severe damage.
The sharp scythe blade chipped slightly after colliding with Shisui.
Its gaping, chewing mouthparts were whipped until they were a bloody mess by its Bikaku.
The battle lasted only half a minute before the Insect Mother foresaw its outcome.
While the five insects could hold out for a little longer, the Insect Mother began to consider retreating with the Insect Hive.
But upon closer reflection, she realized that there was nowhere left to settle down on the entire Ruolan Star.
Not to mention, the war has deteriorated the ecological environment in all places to an extremely bad degree.
Just considering the point of avoiding Shisui.
Currently, within the Ruolan Star, where else on Earth is there that Shisui cannot go?
She might not even be able to reach the places that Shisui can go, so don't even think about going to places that Shisui can't go.
In the brief moment she was struggling with this decision, the battle situation in the distance changed rapidly, and the condition of the five insects plummeted.
The swarms of Radiant Feathers Insect Race roaming the air blocked the Zerg's movement routes.
They are also clearing out the flying insects that emerge from the Insect Hive in an attempt to provide support.
The Kakuja Shisui was more than three times larger than these insects.
However, they completely outclassed them in speed and agility.
Like birds of prey, the Ghoul Ukaku natural-born flight experts.
Moreover, Shisui's combat experience and physical instincts are far superior to those of the Insect Mother.
Ghoul covered in dark Koukaku swept past, its Bikaku instantly striking the lone insect's membranous wings.
After realizing Shisui's plan, the Insect Mother quickly controlled the insect to turn to the side, hoping to dodge the attack.
However, even the fastest remote control will still have a writing delay.
Normally, this delay is so slight that it is not easily noticeable.
But in that critical moment, that millisecond-level delay...
That will be the key to success or failure.
The tip of the Bikaku grazed the translucent, thin membrane wings. Struck by the attack of a Heaven-Controlling Realm, the membrane wings were suddenly torn.
The insect's body instinctively loses its balance while flying in the air.
It didn't wait for other insects to come to its rescue.
The next moment, the Rinkaku Scorpion Tail suddenly shot out, and its long stinger pierced the head of its prey.
Without Shisui, Zi Sui withdrew his needle and retreated, dodging the fierce attack launched by the Insect Mother controlling the Insect Race.
The insect pierced by the Rinkaku died instantly.
Because the point where the needle was pierced was precisely where the brain receives commands.
The Insect Mother felt her control signal over the Insect Race suddenly cut off.
She lost control of the insect, and the battle formation was completely incomplete, unable to be reassembled.
From this point on, the war situation completely collapsed, and the peaceful victory turned into Shisui.
Next, Shisui easily killed the remaining four Insect Race.
The blades formed by the Koukaku slashed through space, simultaneously striking the four Insect Race who had not yet adjusted their state.
Although Shisui was clearly a single person, he cleverly used Space Wormholes to create the effect of hundreds or even thousands of people wielding their swords simultaneously.
Faced with absolute power, the Insect Mother's tricks and schemes are all in vain.
The Insect Race's brains, along with the surrounding space, were instantly shattered.
Then, the Spatial Energy became disordered, further pulverizing the corpses of these insects.
The battle is over.
From the beginning until now, only forty seconds have passed.
Not far away, the Insect Mother in the Insect Hive trembled violently.
She knew her death was imminent.
As Shisui targeted the two remaining Heaven-Controlling Realm of the terrestrial race, the planet fell into an eerie silence.
He seemed to have given up struggling, watching helplessly as Shisui cleared away the obstacles and gradually bared its fangs at him.
But did He really give up the struggle?
On the seabed, within the Chongming City, all was desolate.
The once bustling streets are now deserted, with shops closed and few pedestrians.
The buildings lining the streets also appeared somewhat dilapidated, as if they had survived a major disaster.
Over the past six months, external dangers and internal turmoil within the Sea Race have robbed the city of its former vitality.
Even the most oblivious person can now clearly sense the inevitable division and decline within this race.
The sudden death of the Crown Prince dealt a heavy first blow to the Sea Race;
The army of the Ringwater Continent suffered heavy losses in the natural disaster, and was then surrounded and decimated by the land-based species, which further weakened the strength of the Sea Race.
In addition, the Dragon King was injured and could no longer lead the entire Sea Race as before.
These events combined caused the Sea Races, which were already composed of multiple races, to gradually lose their awe and obedience to the capital and the Dragon Palace.
Ultimately, the Dragon Spirit Species rose to power through slaughter.
While they could wield immense power and command the entire Sea Race at will when they were at their peak, the drawbacks of this approach were also obvious.
If they show the slightest weakness, their oppressed subjects will erupt like a long-suppressed volcano, launching a frenzied counterattack.
Because every subject—specifically, those powerful nobles—yearns to earn a throne for themselves through their own efforts and strength, just like the Dragon Spirit Species.
This thirst for power, like the ambition that "anyone can be emperor, but today it's my turn," burns in the heart of every ambitious person.
The Dragon King had anticipated this.
Furthermore, he was well aware of his current situation.
Outside, Ghouls eye his flesh with predatory intent; inside, rebellious people covet his position.
In addition, their long-standing pride in their power has been suppressed.
It's hard for him not to feel anxious.
Therefore, when the planet extended an olive branch to him, he admitted that he was tempted.
"As long as your body can withstand it, I can grant you sufficient power."
The sound of the planet traveled to the bottom of the magma and reached the Dragon King's ears.
Gentle and mild, it showed no sign that she was urging the Dragon King to activate the Sacrificial Formation.
The Sacrificial Formation is a ritual unique to the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family, developed independently.
The purpose was to forcibly improve the qualifications of the Crown Prince by sacrificing excess offspring.
It is precisely through these cruel yet efficient methods that the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family has been able to maintain its superior position during the succession of Dragon Kings and become the undisputed rulers.
That's right, that's why the planet abandoned the land-based species and went directly to ask the Dragon King.
The Dragon King, who possesses Sacrificial Formation, can sacrifice members of his clan in a short period of time to forcibly enhance his own aptitude.
This would allow for the containment of more energy falling from the planet.
Moreover, this method of passing on knowledge through a single lineage is inherently extremely risky.
If the current second-generation Dragon King can successfully hand over power and responsibility to the third generation.
So perhaps after he retires, he will have enough time and energy to study more comprehensive methods of succession.
Unfortunately, all of that has now vanished.
The royal lineage of the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family has been broken.
This means that the Dragon King will have no more worries and is the most likely candidate for the Heaven-Controlling Realm to agree to the planet's conditions.
In fact, the choice of planet was correct.
In the Dragon King's view, the extinction of the lineage meant that the Sea Race would break away from the rule of the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family.
Naturally, the Dragon King would no longer care much about the survival of the Sea Race.
Selfish and autocratic—that's the Dragon King.
"Your time is running out; the Insect Mother just died."
This news completely reignited the anxiety that had been building up in the Dragon King's heart.
He closed his eyes and made a decision between the Sea Race and himself.
