Chapter 109

~6 min read 1,075 words

Wrong very outrageously.

Just in terms of body size, bugs the size of small hills are nothing.

There are also existences that can swallow planets and even swallow an entire piece of space into their bellies.

This body size is simply not something ordinary people can imagine.

Maybe before you even notice the figure of the bugs, you are already in the bug's belly.

At this moment.

The swarm Seele has to face, although not that terrifying, through simple observation, one knows they won't be easy to deal with.

Because that "dark cloud" is expanding wildly, as if it were splitting.

Seele hasn't even approached, and the "dark cloud" has basically covered the planet!

This entire planet is the swarm!

"Lin Qi, why don't we let Seele come back, and before the swarm comes, let the train move away from here, and after shaking off the main force of the swarm, we'll find a chance to warp again." Himeko frowned and said.

"No need."

Lin Qi shook his head and asked again, "The train's fuel can't withstand such tossing, right? Besides, even if we leave now, I'm afraid the train's body will suffer not-insignificant damage."

"But..."

Himeko was still restless because this was the first time she had faced this scene.

In the past, after encountering bugs, she would flee in a hurry.

Just at this moment.

Lin Qi held her hand, his tone gentle, comforting, "Don't worry, it will be fine, besides... did you forget that I'm here?"

I don't know if Lin Qi's comfort worked, or if Himeko was no longer nervous after knowing Lin Qi was here.

But she didn't let go of the hand Lin Qi was holding, but instead held it tighter.

Her gaze was looking at the battlefield.

At this moment.

Seele had already made contact with the swarm.

Then a purple light flashed, and swaths of bugs turned into fly ash.

Looking closely again, a humanoid mecha suddenly appeared, holding a huge scythe in its hand.

Every time the scythe swung, it took away countless bugs.

Like mowing grass!

"Is this Seele's strength?"

Himeko's beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen, and her other empty hand covered her red lips, shocked.

"Let me reintroduce her: Underworld Legion Commander, one of the Apostle mecha pilots, codename Butterfly, but... she is a Trailblazer now." Lin Qi said with a smile.

65. Seele: Dissipate with the Butterfly! Guidance Before Parting?

At this moment.

Even if it was just through the porthole, observing with the naked eye, one could see how intense the battle on the planet was.

The explosions one after another, the firelight brought up, were more dazzling each time.

That dark cloud scattered and gathered, representing the True Stings constantly proliferating, in numbers enough to cover the sky and the sun.

If it weren't for the humanoid mecha fighting them, every time it swung the huge scythe in its hand, it could take away countless swarms, I'm afraid they would have already rushed toward the train.

Through the naked eye, Himeko certainly couldn't see the battle situation clearly.

But through the gathering and scattering of the "dark cloud," she knew how intense the battle was.

It is no exaggeration to say.

If it were her, there would be only one way, and that is to run away.

Because the number was really too many, so many that it made one's scalp tingle.

Not only that.

When the dark cloud scattered again, a giant bug the size of a mountain actually appeared in the center of the swarm!

This giant bug, even in space, could be seen with the naked eye.

It was even possible to clearly see its movement trajectory!

"Brood Mother!"

Himeko exclaimed.

This was the first time she had seen this level of insectoid creature.

In the past, she had only seen it in data, and it was also an existence she wanted to avoid at all costs.

Unexpectedly.

She encountered it here.

"Don't worry, this kind of brood mother is incomplete and not whole; as long as Seele isn't careless, she can solve it."

Lin Qi spoke again.

"Is that so?"

Himeko relaxed a bit, no longer so nervous.

For her, Lin Qi had never made a mistake, and he certainly wouldn't this time.

Since Lin Qi said it could be solved, then there must be no problem.

However, Lin Qi still sent a voice message to Seele.

"How is it? Can you take down this big guy?"

"Of course! Commander, if you don't believe me, you can time me; at most one system hour, see if I can solve it!"

Seele's tone was extremely confident; obviously, she didn't think she couldn't deal with it.

Lin Qi didn't dampen her spirits, but added a condition for her.

"Since you are so confident, then take its mouthparts off completely for research?"

"Ah? Okay! Commander, just watch!"

Seele was stunned for a moment, and soon her tone turned into strong confidence again.

She didn't think she couldn't do it.

The next moment.

Violent explosions came from the communication channel.

And then, the call ended.

Obviously.

If it were just solving this damaged brood mother, Seele would still have the energy to talk to Lin Qi.

But if it were adding Lin Qi's request, that is, the mouthparts.

Then there was a bit of pressure.

Seele knew this, so after entering the battle, she was even more cautious and careful.

"Lin Qi, would this be too hard on the child?" Himeko worried.

"Maybe, but the difficulties she faced before were more than this." Lin Qi, while observing the battle, told Himeko about Seele's past.

When she learned that Seele was an orphan and even had to fight others for water in the Underworld.

Himeko only then knew how bitter Seele's past was, to the point that even survival was a problem.

No wonder Seele had no surname.

Being an orphan, it was good enough to survive.

"I'll put more water in the coffee I brew for this child in the future; this child is quite pitiful." Himeko sighed.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Qi coughed twice upon hearing Himeko's words.

Put more water?

Even if you put more, it might not be good.

I really don't know what Seele would think if she knew about this.

But it's better not to inform her now, lest the battle have accidents.

Unless...

The mecha was equipped with a Light Cone related to coffee memories.
