Chapter 232: Outbreak

In the pitch-black sky, crimson light illuminated this cold expanse of space, silent yet shocking.

Black-red air waves, scorching light, and golden lava all erupted in the hands of the alien insect monster.

The ability to control everything was also fully manifested in this splendid explosion; a white dragon wrapped in pure white light roared toward the heavens, its scales standing erect all over its body.

At the core of that explosion lay the crystallization of human technology and Tooth Blood Vampire science!

Demon Emperor Stone, memory core, alien insect core—the energy released from these materials was completely fused.

At the moment of the explosion, it seemed as if a sun truly rose above the horizon.

The red sun burst forth, forming a blank bubble large enough to cover its body's surface, inside which was wrapped the primal energy of the red sun, and it bound the movements of that huge monster.

Like hundreds of millions of blazing flames bursting in the universe, enormous flames shot out in all directions, forming an extraordinarily bright solar flare.

With the release of that enormous energy, the surface of that huge monster began to collapse.

People who had been watching the arrival of doom also watched this explosion that could affect their worldview; they dared not have even a trace of thought, and the ideas in their minds were suppressed to the utmost in that instant of the explosion.

They could not see the distant monster, but they could see its infinite light.

At the instant the Alien Insect Queen descended, the space station's system released countless spacetime particles into the universe; even the acceleration from humanity's current weapons released together with countless alien insects still fell short.

Violent energy interference rendered all the space station's equipment ineffective, like electromagnetic radiation, and no one could observe this battle in space.

When the gorgeous red sun appeared in the universe, gorgeous auroras enveloped most of Earth's regions.

Accompanying it was a scene like a supernova explosion, with blinding light constantly colliding in the upper reaches of space, and outside Earth's atmosphere, unknown energy continuously radiated toward the ground.

Because the Alien Insect Queen's appearance caused all alien insects worldwide to awaken, alien insects are original insects, and original insects are alien insects.

The price the Alien Insect Queen paid for entering this timeline was being transformed into an Original Insect Queen; in fact, there is essentially no difference.

The reason Original Insect numbers are scarce is that they have lost their source, and can only reproduce through natural breeding,

and the reason alien insects hunt original insects is also that the Alien Insect Queen can control either alien insects or original insects at any given time.

Thus, original insects that lose control are hunted by alien insects, while original insects that lose their source lose the ability to molt quickly, because they have been branded as traitors.

Sometimes there are more alien insects, sometimes more original insects.

But whether alien insects or original insects, their source is the queen, and they alternate in this infinite time.

Countless alien insects burst from beneath the Gobi Desert, swarming in troops to attack human cities.

And the riverbeds that have turned into desert are exactly their breeding grounds; nothing around can stop their movements.

The Ant Soldiers stationed at the Sky Ladder all awoke from the aurora produced by the red sun at the moment the alien insects launched their general assault, and began to grip their gun handles.

Like streams of black water, they flowed along the city's various main roads toward the front lines.

In the situation of massive alien insect awakening and invasion, the knights of the rebel army who had been imprisoned were also all released, and they returned their knight armor.

Although they had once been enemies, in this war of outward struggle and joint resistance against the alien insects, they still chose to set aside grudges and focus on fighting.

Most of those capable of becoming knights are willing to fight for humanity.

At this moment, Kagami also returned to Earth with a Sea Pa Worm, but the instant he landed, he was already surrounded by the alien insect swarm.

Kagami did not know why the beautiful, elegant person who killed Jin Dou wanted to hand over the Sea Pa Worm to the Heavenly Dao Chief,

but Kagami felt that if he did not hand this over to the Heavenly Dao Chief, serious consequences would ensue.

The firelight from the bursting red sun pierced the monster's body, completely shattering its internal bones and the energy core at its center.

Extreme high temperatures scorched the bodies of every alien insect.

Although they were controlled by the Alien Insect Queen, they still retained some biological instincts—for example, they feel pain, they cry out, they struggle.

At the moment their bodies were about to be burned to ashes, they emitted agonized howls.

That painful cry, together with the insect's chirp as it broke free, was like a wild beast, mixed with hatred and the exhilaration of finally escaping control.

Jiang Xia's dragon pupil coldly beheld this enormous monster; its huge body turned into charred remnants, and then, with the impact, became cosmic dust.

It was splendid like fireworks.

However, despite such a number of alien insects, they gave Jiang Xia not even a trace of energy increase, which also proves a fact: it did not die.

Or rather, its core remained intact, and of course Jiang Xia saw this unusually clearly.

He let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar; the three pairs of dragon wings on his back snapped open, and his body instantly became a blinding white line, shooting toward the star sea.

At the center of that star sea, a green scene suddenly blazed forth, and it instantly collided with Jiang Xia.

Against the backdrop of the sea of stars, two beams of different colors collided in this quiet, empty sky,

extreme colors were produced in their collision; although space is silent, that strong impact still sent out ripples.

Each impact was accompanied by a clash of power.

Blinding light burst forth accompanied by intense shaking.

The creature wrapped in green slammed hard into the lunar surface, leaving a huge hollow on the moon.

That jade-green shell slowly opened, revealing a near-perfect body, humanoid, as if entirely made of crystal, with beautiful luster flowing across its crystal surface,

behind it were two pairs of light, gorgeous wings, hovering faintly; even striking the lunar surface, it suffered no harm whatsoever.

Compared to Jiang Xia, both individuals resembled monsters, yet both conformed to humanity's ultimate aesthetic.

"Your power is indeed special; I have truly never seen such a special lifeform. Among the many planets I have invaded, your existence is indeed the most special."

The Alien Insect Queen spoke softly:

"The last time we met, I was in the weak phase of my transformation."

"To give myself time to recover, I used half of my core to try to eliminate you; originally, after eliminating you, the core would return to my body."

"But laughably, my core was eaten by you, which gives me a terrible headache, so I have come to find you now."

Her face was full of gentleness; if Jiang Xia could not now sense the Alien Insect Queen's mood, one might really not believe that the Alien Insect Queen, her body full of filth and plunder, would speak this way.

"I am very curious about what exists within you, so could you just go die?"

She seemed to be making a trivial request.

What greeted her was a burst of red sun.

"Perfect timing. I think the same as you—could you just go die?" Jiang Xia said.

Similar electromagnetic waves let them communicate in space, but both sides understand this is only a pre‑battle declaration of war.

Don't be fooled by the Alien Insect Queen's seemingly patient demeanor; inside she can no longer restrain her urge to dissect Jiang Xia.

The Original Insect and Alien Insect settings aren't official; they're self‑made (●__●).
