Hearing the commotion, the Wailing Land's king-level Void Scholar, the Colorful Butterfly King, emerged from the research base.
The gray-haired old man in a white lab coat adjusted his glasses and gazed up into the sky.
"Has a King come to research the Void?"
The other scholars spoke up. "Elder Butterfly, hurry over and take a look."
"Perhaps there's been a major breakthrough in academia, and they've sent someone to notify you."
"What King would dare come here to compete with you for territory otherwise?"
They said this not because Elder Butterfly was particularly powerful among Kings.
After all, Elder Butterfly was only a Lower-Rank King, and he might not even rank highly among them.
But he had made great contributions to Void research. Many devices that prevented Void infection had been developed by him.
It could be said that Elder Butterfly deserved at least a third of the credit for containing the Void in Vala and preventing its expansion.
Nearly all the Void Scholars in the Wailing Land considered themselves Elder Butterfly's students.
Naturally, other king-level scholars would not come here to compete with him for research territory.
Elder Butterfly grinned. "True enough. I'll go see what's happening."
With that, he summoned a flying member of the Insect Race, as massive as a small mountain, with dark flame markings.
A Lower-Rank King-level Darkflame Emperor Butterfly.
He stepped steadily onto the Darkflame Emperor Butterfly's back and sped toward the World Devourer.
Along the way, the Darkflame Emperor Butterfly spoke in a melodious female voice. "I can't sense any signs of life from that World Devourer."
"It must have been made into a puppet, allowing someone to command it."
"As for those Rinnegan, they're equally lifeless. I can't sense any energy fluctuations."
"They're probably just decorations."
Elder Butterfly couldn't help complaining.
