"My Nether Spring is right here!"
A deafening boom rang out. The Ant Emperor swung his claws and landed heavily beside Nether Spring, its massive body hitting the ground. Its compound eyes brimmed with the joy of getting back what it had lost.
"No! My Abyssal Dark Lotus is gone!"
Looking at Nether Spring, where only the lotus leaves remained, the Ant Emperor's smile slowly froze. Then a terrifying aura swept outward, and even the sky seemed to dim.
The Abyss Ants that had been following the Ant Emperor immediately prostrated themselves on the ground. Their bodies trembled, their antennae touched the earth, and they repeatedly showed their submission.
Their emperor was furious. And when he was furious, he really did eat his own people!
"Search! The Abyssal Dark Lotus only ripened recently. Those traitors can't have gone far. Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but find them!"
"Alive or dead, bring them before me! I'll show them what happens to those who betray me."
Suppressing his mounting rage, the Ant Emperor growled out his orders.
Once he found the Abyssal Creature that had absorbed his Abyssal Dark Lotus, he would turn it into a pool of blood and make its flesh and blood return to him along with the Abyssal Dark Lotus.
At the Ant Emperor's command, the Abyss Ants around him sprang into action, scattering in every direction to search. With no outside enemy threatening them, their emperor was the greatest threat to their lives.
After the Abyss Ants had dispersed, the Ant Emperor did not leave. Instead, it swung its antennae, more than ten meters long, back and forth over the shore of Nether Spring, as though searching for something. Its scarlet compound eyes flickered constantly.
"Phew!"
