The Queen Wasn't Dead

(First update delivered~)

Sea Emperor had been observing the movements of the newly crowned Insect Beast Commander in that hunting area. When he saw a dog- Canine Tooth Insect pick up the Super Bomb and leave, he was initially curious about what the creature was up to. However, he discovered that the dog-toothed Canine Tooth Insect was treating the Super Bomb a toy, tossing its head high into the air and then catching it in its mouth, thoroughly enjoying itself.

But soon, its behavior was noticed by a Red Sickle Insect. Finding an opening, it darted forward and snatched the Super Bomb from the mouth of the Canine Tooth Insect. The Canine Tooth Insect was taken aback at first, but immediately gave chase.

The chase between the two insectoid beasts quickly attracted the attention of other insectoid beasts. Some of them noticed the Super Bomb in the mouth of the Red Sickle Insect and joined in the chase and scramble for it.

This situation left the Sea Emperor both amused and exasperated, but he also harbored a secret hope that a bug-like beast could bring the Super Bomb to its Mother Queen.

In less than half an hour, the Super Bomb was constantly being fought over, finally ending up in the mouth of a Golden Armor Insect. Seeing a group of insectoids chasing after it, unwilling to give up its toy, it actually opened its mouth and swallowed the Super Bomb whole.

Seeing this, the other insects and beasts gave up and dispersed.

Sea Emperor immediately informed Gu Ding of this good news. This meant that when these Insect Beast Commander gathered, detonating this Super Bomb would wipe out all the newly appointed leaders. Furthermore, detonating the Super Bomb when these new leaders were within 100 kilometers of the Mother Queen would have a very high chance of killing Mother Queen.

Another half hour passed, and after a peculiar chirping sound, all the Insect Beast Commander gathered together, completely unlike the chaos of their previous chase, appearing quite orderly.

After the Zerg army had assembled, it flew toward the Mother Queen's hiding place.

This scene filled Sea Emperor with ecstasy. He shared the good news with Gu Ding and also notified Robert to be ready to detonate it at any time.

In less than twenty minutes, the Zerg army finally reached the Mother Queen's hiding place. The Sea Emperor waited patiently, for the Mother Queen was extremely cautious, always concealing herself in another dimension. Only on special occasions would she open a hole in the space, revealing half her head to issue commands.

Just as the Mother Queen opened the spatial portal and poked her head out, the Gluttonous Insect was still frantically hunting over two thousand kilometers away, showing no intention of returning to Mother Queen side. The Sea Emperor hesitated for a moment, but he knew that once this opportunity was missed, it might not come again. He decisively shouted to Robert, "Detonate!"

Robert detonated the Super-Explosive Particle Annihilation Bomb without hesitation.

With a deafening roar, the area where the Mother Queen was located was completely engulfed in flames. The red flames shot directly into the Sky Dome, emitting deafening sound waves that radiated outwards.

But that wasn't all. Without the slightest hesitation, Sea Emperor continued to say to Robert, "Launch the other two at the same coordinates as before!"

The Sea Emperor knew. His Mother Queen hadn't died from that attack.

Robert, who was sitting with Gu Ding, suddenly stood up. Two cannons appeared on his shoulders, and in less than a second, two more Super Bomb were launched.

Seeing this, Stda and the others asked in surprise, "What happened?!"

"There's no time to explain now, everyone follow me!" Gu Ding said, leaping into the air and rushing towards the location where the Mother Queen was hiding.

Liliath and the others followed without hesitation, and the Freedom Alliance and the top 1 members followed as well.

As Gu Ding ran, he telepathically relayed the entire incident to everyone, then continued, "Although the first Super Bomb exploded, the Mother Queen wasn't dead yet. We just don't know how effective Robert's other two Super Bomb -Super Bomb bombs will be. If they kill the Mother Queen, that's great. If she survives, she should be severely injured. We can't miss this opportunity to hunt her down. If she escapes alive, we'll be in big trouble."

"It's still alive, but the space where it was hiding is completely destroyed, and it's suffered very serious damage, making it somewhat unable to move." Robert's other two Super Bomb also hit that area again, but Sea Emperor detected that the Mother Queen was still alive, and there was another piece of bad news, "The Gluttonous Insect that left earlier wasn't affected by the blast wave. It has now sensed the explosion and is rushing towards the Mother Queen. I estimated before that the Gluttonous Insect's location shouldn't be able to see the flashes from the explosion, and the sound wouldn't travel that far either. It probably sensed the abnormal ground tremors."

"Robert, are there any long-range attacks that can inflict enough damage on that Mother Queen?" Gu Ding asked hurriedly. He knew that his group was too far from the Mother Queen, and the Gluttonous Insect would definitely reach Mother Queen before them. At that point, killing the Mother Queen would become very difficult. After all, the Gluttonous Insect's strength was comparable to that of High-rank God.

"That Mother Queen's defense is already extremely close to that of High-rank God. I have no other means left." Robert shook his head. "If it weren't for its strong defense, it wouldn't have been able to survive the moment that other dimension collapsed."

Gu Ding suddenly stopped and turned to the group, saying, "There's a problem now. Not only is the Mother Queen, but the Gluttonous Insect that was hunting more than two thousand kilometers away seems to have sensed what's happening here and is rushing over there. We definitely won't be able to reach the Mother Queen before it."

"Give me the coordinates. I have spatial abilities, so I can give it a try." Odin, the number one, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want to let go of this good opportunity to hunt down the Mother Queen. He knew that once he successfully hunted down the Mother Queen, he would receive an exceptionally generous reward.

Gu Ding didn't hold back and simply read out the coordinates of the Mother Queen's location to everyone. "I have no need to hide these coordinates. Whoever kills the Mother Queen and gets the best reward is doing so on their own merit. Our team will not have any objections. Those who don't want to go can leave now."

Odin was the first to disappear from the spot; he was clearly heading towards the coordinates given by Gu Ding.

Meanwhile, on Gu Ding's side, Tagore also transformed, and all the members of Gu Ding Team leaped onto his back. Tagore then vanished from his spot in a flash. His spatial abilities rarely carry people, but that doesn't mean he can't.

After several spatial jumps, Tagore led everyone to the scene of the explosion.

What was once a dense forest is now completely gone. After three consecutive impacts from the Super-Explosive Particle Annihilation Bomb, everything was reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

Everyone saw the dying Zerg Mother Queen.

Gu Ding and the others saw the Zerg Mother Queen for the first time. It was an extremely large creature, nearly ten thousand meters long, with its enormous abdomen making up ninety percent of its body. It also saw Gu Ding and his group, its red eyes flashing with hatred.

Just before Gu Ding and his team could make a move, Odin, the top player, appeared. He glanced at Gu Ding Team members, and although he was slightly surprised, he immediately took the initiative to attack.

The longsword hanging at her waist swept through the air with lightning speed, tearing out a crescent-shaped spatial rift. The spatial rift cut towards the Mother Queen 'Mother Queen head, but disappeared the moment it touched her body.

This scene surprised Gu Ding and the others. Gu Ding couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What happened?"

Even Bigge looked slightly puzzled.

"Its defense is too strong; any attack that hits its body is instantly annihilated." The Sea Emperor knew this perfectly well. "It's like a drop of rain falling into the ocean, not even causing a ripple."

"You human ants, although I am severely injured, my defense is still almost on par with that of High-rank God. Your attacks, like those of ants, cannot cause me any harm at all." The Mother Queen suddenly spoke, and she did so in a human language, even fluently, with a mocking tone in her voice.

"I'll seal it first, and then I'll kill it." Gu Ding was about to make his move when he heard the Sea Emperor's warning.

"It's too late! Run! That Gluttonous Insect is coming!"

Tagore immediately wrapped his tail around Gu Ding and the others and fled the scene in a frantic escape.

Odin watched helplessly as Gu Ding and his group disappeared. Just as he was about to make a move, he felt a terrifying pull coming from behind him. His body was involuntarily pulled up, and he disappeared into a gaping maw without any resistance.

Then appeared the owner of the gaping maw—a Giant Bug with eight legs and no wings. Its two forelegs were as sharp as knives, and the outer sides of all eight legs were covered with sharp, long spines. Its carapace was also covered with countless spines of varying lengths and thicknesses. Its tail was twice the length of its body, covered with poisonous bristles, and the very end of it had slightly curved barbs like a scorpion's. Judging from its color, it was clearly also highly venomous. Most remarkably, it had an enormous mouthpart that could open and close dramatically like a giant python, but surprisingly, it had no teeth inside.

The insect-beast glanced in the direction Tagore had fled, but did not give chase. Instead, it walked toward the Mother Queen.

"That Gluttonous Insect came way too fast. If it had been two more seconds, I would have been confident that I could have sealed away the Mother Queen and killed it." Gu Ding was also somewhat unwilling.

"Now that the Gluttonous Insect is guarding it, we have absolutely no chance. As soon as the Mother Queen recovers from her injuries, she can continue to produce mutated insect beasts. We can only hope that her injuries heal slowly, preferably until the ruins close," Liliath said, expressing her expectations.

"Things... seem to have gotten a bit complicated..." the Sea Emperor, who had been observing the Mother Queen's movements, suddenly spoke. (To be continued...)
