Chapter 1110 Insect Mother

Although they are all apocalypses, their purposes are different.

There are far too many worlds destroyed by the void.

Even for someone at level 15 standing before the Divine Gate, the Void considers them precious.

This type of enemy is stored in the void after the world is destroyed, where it erodes and affects the world.

Preserve their will, influence their body.

Only a very few exceptional beings, such as the Crystal Law, are able to preserve their freedom.

Even so, when the Void departs, he will be forcibly taken away and forever bound to the Void until it is used again.

The void is indifferent to the purpose or autonomy of these revelations.

Because it is meaningless, all of the world is powerless against emptiness.

Even the apocalypse will eventually succumb to reality.

Deep within the surging, roaring purple tide of the void, the Mourning Mother of Insects stands like a silent black stone pillar.

The surging torrent of void creatures seemed to possess consciousness, spontaneously splitting away and bypassing her twisted body, forming a strange vacuum zone around her.

However, this superficial "awe" did not stem from power, but from the indifference of the Void Will towards her unique existence.

The insect queen's body was trembling violently, not from fear of a powerful enemy, nor from guilt for destroying the world.

She didn't care about the latter at all.

Before becoming the "Mourning Mother" of the Void, her race, the M'dal, were already feared predators throughout the Astral Plane.

The M'dal Zerg are a symbiotic civilization centered around a living mother hive.

The Queen was an extension of the Hive's will; billions of insect swarms were connected to her thoughts, united in purpose, like a precise and ruthless war machine.

They invade, plunder, and exploit the vitality and resources of one world after another, continuously supplying nutrients to the supreme "mother".

Their behavior is no different from that of the abyssal demons, except that the scale and thoroughness of their destruction are slightly inferior.

They can destroy the earth's surface ecosystem and wipe out civilizations, but they cannot completely annihilate the core essence of a world.

The world ravaged by them may, after hundreds of thousands of years of silence, still be able to give birth to fragile sparks of life anew.

For the insect queen and her people, invasion and destruction are ingrained ways of survival; guilt and pity are meaningless impurities.

Therefore, in many worlds, the Void and the Swarm are not that different.

They all want them to die.

However, for the more fundamental world, the void is an existence on a completely different level.

However, this Zerg civilization, which had not yet fully grown into a major threat to the astral realm, was as fragile as paper in the face of the destructive torrent of the void.

As it swept through the void, the supreme "Mother," that enormous, warm, living insect hive that carried the will of the entire race, instantly turned into cold, lifeless remains.

The void corrupted the insectoid swarm, twisting and assimilating them into the diverse void creatures with insectoid characteristics that exist within the purple tide.

It can be said that the erosion of the ecosystem by the swarm has provided the Void with a considerable amount of manpower and various morphological samples.

For the Queen of Insects, who was elevated to the rank of "Apocalypse," the Void granted her immense power, but also brought her eternal torture.

Her consciousness was preserved, but her connection with the mother nest was completely severed.

Because the mother nest no longer exists.

Those billions of mental connections that were once as natural as breathing and sustained her existence are now nothing but a cold, maddening silence.

The Void Will itself has no "self," and it will not replace the function of the Mother Nest.

This excruciating pain, as if her soul had been ripped out of its depths, was like an inextinguishable karmic fire, burning her spirit every second; this was her eternal grief.

In this endless torment, the insect queen was driven by her apex predator instincts.

The pain did not destroy her combat wisdom; instead, it made her even more obsessive under the distortion of the void.

She is the true Void Vanguard.

Unlike other Apocalypse Apostles, she was an Apocalypse Apostle who devoted herself entirely to destruction.

She craves the destruction of the world, using it as a tool, hoping the void will watch over her and connect with her.

Eliminate this pain of emptiness.

Her target was a node in the Aegira defense network.

A relatively weak link that she keenly perceived.

Unlike other revelations, which are either indulging in the desire for destruction, pursuing efficiency as "mercy," or yearning for redemption.

The worm mother's motivation was more primitive and desperate.

She desperately hoped that if she tried hard enough to destroy the world, perhaps... perhaps the will of the void would "take pity" on her and re-establish that connection, even if it was just a cold, destructive one, it would be better than this eternal loneliness and burning pain.

She is not a level 15 powerhouse in the sense of a living being, but rather a war organ driven by pain and possessing terrifying power.

As the Queen moves toward the target node, fortresses 1-35, a chilling change occurs in the void.

An invisible command spread out from her.

The originally chaotic and disorderly torrent of void creatures that charged at the defense line based solely on instinct began to gather, filter, and reorganize around her.

She can sense and "recruit" Void creatures that have M'dal characteristics or whose structure is better suited for cooperative combat.

Soon, an "army" that stood out from the chaotic purple tide around them took shape.

Enormous crustacean void creatures formed a formidable vanguard, while swift flying creatures flanked them on both sides. Special units capable of unleashing corrosive energy or releasing disruptive waves were positioned in the rear to provide support...

A well-structured and clearly defined virtual air force, like a sudden and deadly black reef in the purple tide, is crushing towards fortresses 1-35.

Inside the fortress's command center, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The commander stared intently at the conspicuous "legion" on the tactical hologram and the gray-purple figure at its core that exuded a terrifying pressure. His knuckles clenched so tightly that they turned white, and finally he slammed his fist hard on the control panel.

"Damn it! The intelligence didn't say this bug could command troops! It's an Apocalypse-class! We're being closely watched!"

The commander's voice was filled with barely suppressed anxiety.

The void already brought them immense pressure, and the massive race crashed against them like waves; resisting it truly exhausted all their efforts.

Now, an Apocalypse can command a large number of Void units, allowing them to attack in a structured and orderly manner.

Although this force is just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Void army, the problem is that such a force is simply too difficult for a node's fortress to resist.

The more significant problem is that such organized units can put immense psychological pressure on the defending forces.

It will severely diminish the momentum, which is the most important thing.

The soldiers were already demoralized by the overwhelming waves of void creatures and the constant mental strain.

If it weren't for their own survival, their future homeland, and the power of data, the military would have collapsed long ago. Continuing to exert more pressure will only increase the soldiers' self-destructive tendencies.

This is not a good thing.

Trading with void creatures is inherently a very unprofitable thing.

"The distress call has been sent with the highest priority! Support is on its way!"

The adjutant spoke very quickly, but his eyes were equally serious.

The combat master beside him stared intently at the screen, his heavy breathing betraying his worry.

"The most dangerous thing right now isn't the Apocalypse itself; it has stronger beings to deal with that. It's the army behind it! The reason our defenses have held out this long is because of the chaos of the Void creatures! Now that they have a command and a formation... the pressure will increase exponentially!"

His concerns echoed the gloom in everyone's hearts.

Organized void forces mean more efficient attacks, more lethal coordination, and more unpredictable tactical changes.

Fortresses 1-35 are in imminent danger.

This explosive intelligence was instantly transmitted back to the joint command center on the mainland.

Kana, who was processing countless messages, received this urgent communication.

A sharp glint flashed in his golden eyes.

"The Mourning Insect Mother... possesses such power?"

Kana's voice was deep.

This ability is far more threatening in defensive battles than Rift Queen's Spatial Tear.

He immediately shared the information with the enormous cluster of crystals floating in front of him, radiating a soft starlight—the Law of Crystals.

"The dominion of the queen insect?"

The crystal facets of the Crystal Law shimmered with astonishment. "I was unaware of this characteristic... If she can organize void creatures on such a large scale, her threat far exceeds the individual destruction of the Rift Queen. The priority of restraining her must be raised."

Kana made a decisive decision almost without hesitation: "Agreed. Act immediately and stop the Legion led by the Queen from attacking the node!"

"clear."

The Crystal Law's gentle voice carried a resolute tone.

The massive crystal cluster instantly disintegrated, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the divine radiance of the City of the Ring Tower.

On the walls of fortresses 1-35, the commander looked at the increasingly orderly and approaching Death Legion in the distance, and the suffocatingly oppressive figure of the Queen of Insects at the core of the legion. He took a deep breath and drew his sword.

The distress signal has been sent, but when will the support arrive?

In the face of this unprecedented impact, every second is precious.

"Order! All units, high combat alert! Alchemy turrets, charge to critical level! Magic cannon array, lock onto enemy core units! Shield generators, overload operation!"

The commander's voice echoed across the city walls, carrying a do-or-die determination: "Now, we can only rely on ourselves to hold off the first wave! For Aigela, we will fight to the death!"

The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their faces showing fear, but even more so, a resolute determination born of being driven to the brink of despair.

The fortress's energy shield hummed and shone brightly, its cannons flashing with destructive light as they were aimed at the onrushing Void Legion commanded by Apocalypse.

Just as the Queen's army was about to enter the fortress's optimal firing range, and a devastating impact was about to erupt—

hum!

A dazzling wall of light, composed of countless geometric crystals, appeared out of nowhere in front of the Queen Legion.

As the light faded, the massive and magnificent Crystal Law itself, like a star fortress that had suddenly descended, stood between the Queen of Insects and the fortress.

"This road is blocked, mourners."

The Crystal Law's gentle yet powerful voice echoed in the void, carrying an undeniable meaning.

She directly switched sides and confronted the Apocalypse of the Void.

The faceless head of the Mourning Insect Mother turned toward the Crystal Law, showing no intention of communication.

The eternal pain of being cut off from the mother nest had long since consumed all her reason and desire to communicate.

Anyone who dares to stand in her way.

An ignorant traitor, betraying the great void, praying to protect this world—what an ignorant being.

Faced with obstacles, her only response was destruction!

Grayish-purple energy erupted around her like boiling venom, and several enormous energy tentacles made of pure void energy, each with a ferocious maw at its end, instantly condensed and lashed out at the Crystal Law with a shrill whistling sound that tore through space.

"Tsk!"

The Crystal Law seemed to have taken no chances with the other party's violent and direct approach, failing to even engage in the most basic confrontation.

I originally thought there would be communication between the Apocalypse beings.

They took direct action.

The crystal surface flashed rapidly, and countless prism-like defensive crystal shields instantly unfolded layer upon layer in front of him. At the same time, several dazzling crystal beams containing the power of rules and capable of cutting through space also shot out to meet the raging tentacles.

Boom! ...

The powers of the two Level 15 Apocalyptic beings collided without any fancy moves!

An indescribably terrifying energy shockwave exploded instantly! Space was torn apart like fragile glass, leaving dark cracks.

In the core area of ​​the impact, both the void creatures and the small amount of terrain affected were instantly reduced to the most primitive particle dust.

A violent surge of energy swept outwards, forcefully pushing open a large vacuum zone from the surrounding surging purple tide!

However, this earth-shattering collision could not stop the queen insect from carrying out her will.

Just as her main body was violently attacking the Crystal Law, the massive Void Legion, which was directly controlled by her will, suddenly changed its course as if it had independent thought.

They neatly and uniformly bypassed the core of the battlefield, a death vortex where the two Apocalypse warriors were locked in fierce combat.

Like two deadly black torrents, they continued their relentless and destructive assault from the left and right flanks, launching a fatal charge towards the last line of defense of Fortress 1-035, which was already within reach and gleaming with despair.

A hint of solemnity flashed across the crystal facets of the Crystal Law.

The Queen's fighting style was more troublesome than she had anticipated, and her own combat did not affect her absolute command of the legion.

Even with the queen insect restrained, they were unable to stop that terrifying army.

However, they certainly can't go too far.

So as long as she can hold the enemy back here, they won't be able to lead their troops to attack other nodes.

If this node cannot resist and be protected, then there's nothing that can be done.

On the city wall, the commander's pupils contracted sharply as he watched the Void Legion, which had bypassed the Apocalypse Battlefield and surged in like a black tide.

His raised sword trembled slightly from the force of his grip, finally transforming into a roar that resounded throughout the battlefield:

"Fire—!!! For Aigella, crush them!!!"

The fortress's firepower, like a cornered beast driven to the brink, unleashed a deafening roar.

Alchemical cannonballs, magical beams, and enchanted arrows rained down like a storm, heading straight for the Void Legion that brought the order of death.

The true purgatory erupted beneath the walls of fortresses 1-35. (End of Chapter)
