World Levels

The so-called "Mother Queen" is the Mother Worm in this "Infant Brainworm Swarm".

Currently, Han Dong is holding onto one of her Infant Arm on her head, preventing her from using a certain 'burrowing' ability.

As for its blade-like wings on its back, they have been covered by yellow sand.

There was also a tail with serrated blades, which was immediately pinned down by three bone spikes shot out by the Zombie Youth in the group.

The most dangerous part of this worm that collects brain fluid is its brain.

The Mother Worm's brain possesses two attributes.

"Nether Hand"

The baby arms that grow all over her head can instantly 'steal' matter by touch, and can also 'steal' the ground, allowing this Mother Worm to easily burrow underground and hide to hunt for food.

Brainwave

It's not just a visual impact; due to years of using the essence of various life forms' brain fluids, the Mother Worm's brain can directly influence the brain at the brain level by emitting highly invasive Brainwave from any life form.

By borrowing these two attributes.

The Mother Queen cerebral worm can cause a target individual to enter a period of stasis, instantly emptying all the substances in its body.

However, this tactic failed against Han Dong.

"You... are unaffected by me!?"

After discovering that Han Dong was unaffected, the Mother Worm panicked.

Moreover, the left arm where Han Dong and she were intimately shaking hands had magical patterns originating from Ancient Egypt on its surface, preventing the mother from 'plundering' Han Dong's left arm.

"There's a... Deep-Ones inside your body!!"

Subsequently, by penetrating Han Dong's body through Brainwave, the Mother Queen worm observed the pink octopus swimming inside Han Dong's body and instantly understood why he was unaffected by Brainwave.

The Mother Worm turned pale with fright.

Even Though she has the blood of ' Mother God ' in her body, it is only a very thin lineage of blood.

In terms of rank, she is nowhere near the Deep-Ones.

The next second.

Gaga!

One of its tentacles pierced directly through the Mother Worm's head.

Mythical Energy +6

In an instant, all the remaining surviving worker insects in the Church Hall area lost their ability to move due to the death of their Mother Queen.

The first ominous sign in the church area has now come to an end.

"Relieving these civilians from their Affliction... Their bodies have been injected with insect eggs. Even if they are sent back, they will soon turn into the same disgusting swarm of insects."

Moreover, their spirits had already been completely shattered during the collection process; they longed for death more than anyone else.

Han Dong stared at the civilians who were fixed to the bench with various tubes, and the pleading look in his eyes was exactly the same as that of the blond youth named Anthony in the supermarket restroom.

With no chance of survival and surrounded by endless Affliction, death is the only way out.

In such a worldview, ordinary people are so powerless that one wrong step can plunge them into an abyss with no possibility of redemption.

The core of the film "The Mist" is the terror and despair of utter powerlessness, and of course, it is also an important idea in the Kristen Stewart culture.

Han Dong's world is the same.

As the first type of Higher Lifeforms on Earth with reasoning and thinking abilities, many people have gradually come to regard themselves as the eternal masters of the Ecological Circle.

However... humans are not perfect, and can even be described as extremely fragile.

When a higher life form emerges, or when the original rulers of Earth awaken, humanity will be plunged into dire straits in a short period of time.

While the zombie army was dealing with the civilians here.

Han Dong arrived at the front of the Church Hall, at a circular platform that seemed to gather the essence of the brain.

The spiral-shaped pedestal transports all the collected brain essence deep into the church, providing it to His the Great Bishop.

Currently, in the center of the circular platform, a blank sheet of paper is mixed in with the essence of the brain.

"Manuscript Six has been obtained"

The original manuscript was only visible to Han Dong. Even Though Nicole, who was temporarily residing in his body, could only see Han Dong absorbing some kind of nutrition. Even if she directly peered into Han Dong's memories, she could not read any information about the original manuscript.

After picking up the original manuscript.

With a rumble, the pedestal slid away, revealing a stone staircase leading into the depths of the church.

Just as Han Dong was about to call on the zombie army to continue deeper, he unexpectedly discovered that the zombies, led by the protagonist David, were frantically 'feeding'.

Of course, their target for food was not ordinary people.

Instead, they are insect eggs that adhere to walls, corners, roof beams, and behind statues.

These larval Egg Body, produced by the Mother Queen ingesting brain fluid, are themselves an excellent tonic... emitting a delicious aroma that individual zombies cannot resist.

Most importantly, consuming the Egg Body could stabilize their consciousness and strengthen their control over the G-Virus.

By keeping the anomalies under control among the townspeople, the overall Combat Power of the army group will be enhanced.

Since that's the case, Han Dong decided to wait for everyone.

"By the way, what is ' Mother God '?"

While waiting, Han Dong asked Nicole inside his body, since the word had already appeared twice.

"One of the rulers of the Insect Domain, also known as the source of all insects... Many insect swarms have more or less connections with Mother God. The two insects we contacted and killed were just low-level species mixed with a trace of Mother God's blood."

Even Though the lower-ranking species are stronger than ordinary swarms and possess leadership and self-awareness.

"From what you've said, the world on the other side of the door seems quite vast."

"It's much larger than the human world. After all, there are many advanced species in our world, unlike here where there are only humans."

As Nicole explained, Han Dong fell into deep thought.

No matter what.

Both the human world in "The Mist" and the monster world on the other side of the "Gate" belong to the Destiny Space...

However, there should be a hierarchy between different worlds.

Just like the last time during the "Ghost Story" incident, the Abyssal Butcher, who possessed hellish attributes, was actually connected to the real Hell World.

Clearly, the [World-Hell] level is higher than the [World-Strange Tales] level, but there is a possibility that the two can be interconnected.

"The other side of the door opened by the mysterious cult in 'The Mist' corresponds to the [World-Void], which may be a higher world equivalent to hell, accessible only to those who have reached the Knight level."

There exists something there that I, at this stage, cannot possibly contend with, and it also holds invaluable treasures and opportunities.

Just like how Commander Malone was able to spend many years in [World-Hell] and go through countless hardships to become the Hell Demon King.

In the [World-Void], there might be a similar possibility: completing certain trials and challenges to become Mythical-level being like "Mother God".

Is this the true purpose of the existence of the Destiny Space?

It not only gives us humans the opportunity to fight against life outside the city.

It also provides us with a ' Pathway ' to completely transform and evolve into a super-advanced species.

Thinking of this, Han Dong's lips curled up slightly...
