And just these few seconds of hesitation were already too late.

The ceremony was formed, amber light enveloped the surrounding Swarm, and directly above them, a translucent hammer vaguely appeared.

This is of course not the hammer that Amber Lord holds in his hand, and Morien is not that capable.

This is just an illusion that probably comes from the automatic response of the destiny itself to the ritual.

Boom!

Mother Bug, which was half the size of a hill, hit the amber barrier, creating circles of ripples on the barrier, but did not directly break away.

[Preservation]'s strength, nothing else, but at least it must be tough enough.

Just then.

A huge rose-colored spear fell from the sky and penetrated the back of Mother Bug from top to bottom.

This amber barrier did not stop the spear.

"Thank you, friend." Argenti's voice came from behind Morien and passed by in a flash, "I didn't expect you could really find Mother Bug."

Argenti passed by Morien and entered the amber barrier.

He was called here by Morien using Butterfly.

"It's actually not difficult." Morien replied, not caring whether Argenti could hear or not, "If you can communicate with insects, it's actually not difficult."

"After all, they look stupid."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several more explosions sounded from not far away.

Missiles flew from a distance, flew into the barrier, and hit Swarm.

This planet is not that backward civilization that has no ability to fight back at all.

He has already accessed the territory of Interastral Peace Corporation.

Tate, the employee Morien met not long ago, originally came to this planet to do business. And if this place is backward enough, then the company will most likely not face this planet with such an easy-to-talk attitude of "trading".

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Increasingly intensive attacks are coming.

They were just caught off guard at first by Mother Bug who was good at disguise, and then they were counterattacked by Swarm.

Now that Mother Bug is trapped, it's not like they can't counterattack.

After all, it is a planet that can do business with the company, and at least it will not be as helpless as the aborigines who have completely derailed from the stars.

Now, when Morien summoned Mother Bug and Argenti began to attack Mother Bug, the survivors also began their counterattack.

What they need to do now is to eliminate Mother Bug at all costs. After that, they just have to keep a close eye on them and don't let new Mother Bug appear. The remaining bugs will slowly Entropy Loss die on their own.

This period will not even exceed two months.

Morien did not enter the battlefield, but stood outside the circle, interfering with Mother Bug's command of other Swarm, and constantly sending random instructions to prevent Argenti from falling into a disadvantage due to being beaten by a group.

More and more missiles fell, and the dense explosions forced Argenti to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield and retreat outside the barrier.

Because the lethality is high enough, the explosion is also locked within the barrier.

Looking at the situation inside the amber barrier, Morien held the larvae in one hand and held the mask with the other

His voice once again sounded in the hearts of all World-Deceiving Weevil.

"The Insect King has fallen and Royal Insect has disappeared. Do you feel lonely?"

In the life of [Propagation], which is symbolized by "living away from the crowd", this passage seemed to have a big blow to Mother Bug.

With the ability to be 100% understood, this passage seemed to finally make Mother Bug realize that he was probably in a state of "alienation".

Its movements became a little stiff at this moment, and its counterattacks against the surroundings began to gradually lose strength.

"No need to struggle anymore, you will find the new Royal Insect." Morien's voice continued.

"At that time, you will no longer be alone."

"At that time, you will no longer be yourself, but you will not continue to be alone."

Morien said it honestly and did not cheat.

Mother Bug's movements suddenly stopped.

Boom!

The increasingly dense missiles gradually engulfed it. But it did not dodge or dodge, and just let the missiles wrap around it.

The firepower that gathered more than half of the planet quickly poured into the area surrounded by an amber barrier.

Smoke and dust filled the air, but the explosion was contained within the barrier and did not reach anyone outside.

After a long time, the bombing stopped and the smoke dispersed, revealing the dying Mother Bug and the other Insect Brood that had been killed long ago in the barrier.

Morien raised his head, looked at the top of Mother Bug's head, and looked at the amber hammer shadow.

Then, he lowered his head again, looked at Mother Bug, took off his mask, and smiled.

"Good night."

"When you wake up again, you will never be the same again."

Behind him, insects emerged one after another, flying or crawling towards the corpses of Swarm that were crushed on the ground and spread everywhere, and began to eat for the first time since they were born.

There is Royal Insect, there is food.

That's right.

Morien squinted his eyes, smiled, touched the head of the stingworm in his arms, and said.

"I am Royal Insect, you are food."

"Look, I didn't lie."

He has no desire to protect humans, and he doesn't feel much about the natives here being eaten.

However, he disliked this behavior as too dirty.

Although he doesn't have a Holy Mother's heart, the behavior of bottomless cannibalism is disgusting to him.

These bugs were too dirty, so he decided to let Swarm eat their souls and breed them again.

He didn't bother to say something like "I will bear your sins". This is too hypocritical.

Think of it as reincarnation.

Half an hour later.

Morien and Argenti stood in front of the door of the "Rare and Precious" spacecraft. In front of them stood the leader of the survivors on this planet.

That's an unshaven Old Man.

Old Man excitedly held Argenti's hand and thanked her constantly.

It's not that he doesn't want to thank Morien, it's just that Morien is holding True Sting in his hands and there are a bunch of bugs lying on his body, which makes him a little ptsd.

To be honest, he is very, very restrained in not yelling at Morien for his current look.

"Thank you very much, Argenti Your Excellency, and Morien Your Excellency."

The survivors all had tears in their eyes.

Morien glanced at Argenti, curious about how he solved Insect Calamity on this planet in the original timeline.

After all, if Morien hadn't summoned Mother Bug, then there would have been more and more bugs on this planet.

He is simply superman.

"Idrila is above... from now on... from now on our planet will believe in Beauty..." Old Man said a little incoherently.

"Oh, and Mr. Morien, what is your destiny?"

"Me? Well... I believe in the God of Music."

"Oh, it's [Pleasure]." Old Man understood

Morien didn't say that he was also a big bug.

He felt that if he spoke out, the group of people in front of him would definitely be in trouble.

"Okay... Okay..." Old Man nodded, "Then, I wonder how we can thank you?"

Argenti looked at Morien.

He never charges for helping others, but he will not make choices for Morien.

In order to avoid "setting up" Morien after he refused the reward, which would make it difficult for Morien to speak, he decided to wait until next time.

Although this seems a bit like he deliberately deceived Morien in order to show off his unpaid attitude, but for Argenti, it is better to be misunderstood than to trouble others.

He is confident that his Beauty performance will definitely clear up all misunderstandings others have about him.

After thinking for a while, Morien snapped his fingers and replied.

"Do you have a device that can fold space?"

"I want this."
