Containing Weirds Is the Anomaly Containment Association's Top Priority

"Damn humans!"

It let out a sharp howl, and a few drops of bloody tears rolled from its empty eyes.

Upon arriving in this world, the Insect Mother devoted most of her energy to reproduction.

Those insects are the embodiment of its power, and can also be considered its eggs. As long as they parasitize the body of a living person, they can use the flesh and blood of the living person to hatch and eventually transform into its species.

She is the Insect Mother, possessing the power to command the entire colony. The insects constantly hunt prey for her, while she continuously reproduces and hatches.

Finally, they successfully occupied this territory.

This is what it should do, and it's its instinct.

However, ever since it took over a human body, this tiny body has been filled with all sorts of emotions that it cannot understand.

Friendship, family affection, love, happiness, hope, and other beautiful emotions fill this small body.

It made even this unintentional eeriness feel that intense emotion.

So it suppressed its true nature and stayed in the house, obediently playing the role of Daphne.

They even stopped their instinct to reproduce.

Otherwise, any city it sets foot in will be parasitized by its eggs, and then catalyzed by the insect, becoming nourishment for the growth of its species.

Boom!

Countless storms and wind blades bombarded its body, but were all blocked by its seemingly thin but actually tough skin.

The Insect Mother's offensive power is not strong because her abilities lie in parasitism and reproduction. If given enough time to develop, she can quickly produce countless Zerg soldiers, just like the Zerg.

Its body is not so fragile, but has a very strong defensive capability.

However, it has no wings and cannot attack Skywing in the sky.

No matter how strong the defense, it will eventually be breached as the sharp wind blades, capable of cutting through even steel, are gradually sliced away.

Soon, blood began to seep from its skin.

Feeling the pain, Daphne had the illusion that she would be crushed bit by bit and finally swallowed whole by that nasty bird.

It began to feel fear. "I've already injected a lot of insect eggs into the city's groundwater. If you dare kill me, I'll let them all parasitize humans. Then, even if I die, countless humans will be buried with me."

Skywing A stood high above, his eyes cold, unmoved and hesitant by its words, yet a dazzling smile graced his face, "Containing anomalies is the top priority of the Anomaly Containment Association ~"

His attacks remained fierce.

As a malevolent being of the Fierce Fiend Class, the Nameless Bird possesses exceptionally strong attack power within its tier; at the very least, the Nameless Bird 'Insect Mother defenses could not withstand its attacks.

The Insect Mother was unable to fly and had lost her swarm to protect her, so she could only dodge and passively take hits.

It originally thought that bringing out this trump card would at least make the other party think twice.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't hesitate for even a second.

He was so cold-blooded that it was as if those who were about to die were not his own kind.

"Don't you really care about those humans? Or do you not believe me?"

The Insect Mother spurred its insects to attack the nearest humans. After taking over one of their bodies, it allowed the insects to control that person and announce the information.

"Ha, hypocritical humans! You don't care about their lives, but I don't believe they wouldn't care about their own."

The Insect Mother's crazy actions have once again stirred up a huge storm on the internet.

"What? The groundwater connects many cities. If the pollution spreads, the entire country will be doomed."

"I'd better escape quickly. Anyone can stay in this kind of country; I want to go to another country."

Other countries are not necessarily safe either.

"Isn't there still the Xia Kingdom?"

"Actually, as long as we can conquer the Dungeon, we don't need to meet the hardest requirement. We only need to complete the easiest one to gain a few days of safety time."

Insect Mother: "Now everyone knows that if you kill me, you'll indirectly cause the deaths of those humans."

"Why? I just want to live a good life, why are you bothering me?"

Skywing A: "Using the lives of the people of a city, and many more, as sacrifices for your survival?"

The Insect Mother: "I am not wrong. There are so many of you humans, how many living spaces have you taken over, and how many species have gone extinct? I merely used some humans to incubate my race. These humans are insignificant compared to your total number."

Skywing A: "I'm not wrong either. The most effective way to control pests is during their juvenile stage."

Seeing the Skywing, it wouldn't budge regardless of whether you tried to reason with it or not.

The Insect Mother was terrified.

However, just as it was about to control the insects to rush towards the humans, Skywing A said, "But I never said I wanted to destroy you, did I?"

"The Anomaly Containment Association primarily deal with the supernatural through containment."

"You're lying to me. Humans are such cunning creatures." The Insect Mother was about to make a move.

Daisy had already rushed down from upstairs.

"Daphne! My child, give me back my child!"

The Insect Mother was stunned. "Mom... Mom."

It stopped its suicidal actions and instinctively transformed back into Daphne, wanting to see the warm smile that Daisy used to give it on her face.

But Daisy's face was filled with hatred. She glared fiercely at the monster that had taken over her daughter's body, shouting, "Give me back my daughter, you monster!"

"... Mother."

Within the Insect Mother's body, the emotions belonging to the human side surged forth instantly, and the intense sorrow left her somewhat at a loss.

What is this...? It feels so bad, I can't breathe. Why isn't this eerie? Why does my body feel so uncomfortable?

This feeling, this feeling...

Skywing A approached it and, finding it standing there motionless and offering no resistance, took it into Anomaly Cage.

[You have contained the Fierce Fiend Class, bizarre creature— the Insect Mother Daphne. Construction Points +200,000!]

Daisy ran over, tears streaming down her face, "My daughter, can she ever come back?"

My condolences.

Daisy: "No, my Daphne!"

She sat on the ground and broke down in tears.

Skywing A touched the Nameless Bird on her shoulder and said softly, "Let's go."

The wind swept up his body, quickly carrying him into the sky, where he disappeared from sight.

"The S-rank special Dungeon - Insect Swarm- has been completely conquered. This Dungeon will be permanently closed. Completion date: January 10, 2025. Conqueror: Skywing A."

"Rewards for clearing special Dungeon are calculated based on individual contribution: Insect Nest (visible only to the user who completed the dungeon)."

Server-wide announcement: The first S-rank special Dungeon, Insect Swarm, has been cleared in the Taland. Players have received an S-rank buff, granting twelve hours of safe time during the day for one month.

The major pollution incident that caused the Taland came to an end on this day.
