Chapter 114 Fireflies Flying to a Flame: A Hymn to Courage!
"Insect Queen...you mean the queen of the Black Scythe Insect Swarm?"

"Tyrese murmured."

Lin Yi nodded.

It seems his gamble on finding the resistance army might have paid off.

As a native of Isdna and someone who has fought against the Zerg swarm for so many years, their understanding of them is certainly deeper than mine.

"The Queen of the Swarm will only reside in one place: the Mother Tree, Yogg-Dassir!"

“A hundred years ago, it could only rely on the life force of the Mother Tree to continuously reproduce its offspring. Once it leaves Yogdashir, it should die out very soon.”

Lin Yi was not too surprised by this answer.

He had seen that enormous World Tree when he previously invaded the Zerg's mind network.

“I know it’s there, the question now is, where is Yogdahir?” Lin Yi asked, voicing the core issue.

Just over a day ago, Lin Yi not only sent out swarms of insects to search for traces of Isidena's resistance forces.

He then began to trace the underground channels of the insect swarms he had previously seen, attempting to find the intersection of all the underground channels.

That's probably where the World Tree is located.

However, this method ultimately failed.

It seems the swarm is intentionally concealing the true location of the World Tree.

A hint of guilt appeared on Tyrese's face: "Once upon a time, the Mother Tree Yogdashir was located in the north of our continent of Ishdna. Our civilization, and everything in the world, originated from there."

"But after the swarm invaded, the entire Yogdashir had become their hive."

“A hundred years ago, when our resistance army was still a million strong, we waged a protracted war of punitive expedition.”

"Our intention is to kill the queen of the swarm in one fell swoop."

"That battle was incredibly fierce; we killed the strongest insect king, Ix, born from the empress."

"But at the same time, we were also severely weakened, and the Empress managed to escape thanks to Iks's restraint."

"Since then, the swarm has been modifying Yogdashir, even to the point of being able to move it across the continent."

“About thirty years ago, I went back to the place where Yogdashir was originally located. There was indeed a Mother Tree there, but it was a complete illusion, a trap!”

"Where the real Yogdashir is now, we...don't know..."

Tyrese lowered his head.

In the end, it seems they were still unable to help the Knight of Apocalypse.

At this moment, Simon, the adjutant standing behind Tyrese, stepped forward, bowed to Lin Yi, and then asked, "Lord Apocalypse, may I ask how you enslave so many insect swarms?"

"As far as I know, the swarms communicate and connect with each other through some kind of special neural network."

"Could you use this to find out the Queen's true location?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "I do have a way to bring some mid-level managers in the swarm into my service and connect them to the swarm's thought network."

"But those who try to use the internet to find information about the Queen will be expelled."

Tyrese and Simon looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

The methods of this Knight of Apocalypse were truly beyond their comprehension.

But the next moment, Tyrese was jolted.

That prophecy kept echoing in his mind.

At the same time, Simon, the adjutant standing behind him, had a sudden flash of inspiration, his whole body trembling with excitement: "I think I've found a way..."

"Tyrese, Lord Apocalypse, please follow me."

Lin Yi didn't know what method they had come up with, but he followed Tyrese and Simon into the camp.

Simon then pulled a box from the armory and placed it in front of Tyrese.

"Simon, what is this...?"

Simon took a hammer, plugged the wire attached to the hammer into the charging port, and charged the entire hammer.

Then he smashed the big black padlock on the box hard!
The sturdy chitin lock instantly became brittle and broke under the influence of the electric current. Simon then opened the box.

A pungent stench assaulted the senses.

Inside the box were black insect eggs, still trembling slightly.

"This is... a Fallen Insect egg! Simon, how did you get this?!"

Simon, enduring the stench, reached into the box, picked up a black insect egg, and examined it closely, his eyes filled with fervor: "Remember that big battle in Nixon five years ago? We found over a hundred boxes of these things back then."

“You ordered the destruction, but Will came to me and said he wanted to study the eggs and conduct experiments, so I kept it from you and let him keep them.”

A hint of reminiscence appeared in Tyrese's eyes.

Will...

He was the smartest man in the Ninth Army Corps, and most of the steam-powered mechs they wore were made by him.

Unfortunately, he is dead.

"These eggs of fallen insects can turn a person into a grotesque, inhuman creature in a short period of time. Only traitors would choose to consume them."

"But Will has never stopped researching and modifying these insect eggs."

"The combat power of the half-insects is much stronger than when we put on our mechs."

"His idea at the time was that if we could erase the control of the swarm's will over the half-insects, and have some of the wounded and disabled in our corps voluntarily take the modified insect eggs, could we become a special fighting force?"

"Unfortunately, his research has always remained superficial, without the opportunity for human trials."

"Until two years ago, there was a wounded soldier in our corps who was on the verge of death."

"He was Will's best friend. Before he died, he planned to help Will test his research results."

"So he took the Fallen Insect Egg that Will had modified."

"His injuries healed in a very short time, and he was even able to connect to the swarm's mental network and obtain a large amount of information about the swarm."

"Unfortunately, just when Will thought he had succeeded, two minutes later, his best friend went completely mad and turned into a monster no different from those half-insect people..."

"Will fired seven or eight shots into his best friend's head before collapsing onto his body, kneeling and weeping."

"Since then, all of his research findings have been sealed away by him. After his death in battle, I have kept these things without destroying them, and they are still here today..."

After listening to Simon's story.

Tyrese was utterly shocked.

"Simon, what...what exactly do you want?"

Simon, holding the insect eggs, said decisively, "I think our ultimate purpose in the prophecy is to buy time for Lord Apocalypse!"

Lin Yi had been watching from the sidelines, and now a guess was forming in his mind.

Simon continued, "I'm no longer afraid of death, Tyrese, and you should be too."

"Or rather, the brothers who have fought alongside us until now are no longer afraid of death!"

"I will swallow these fallen insect eggs and, in the two minutes that they can still retain their own will, launch a self-destructive bombardment on the entire swarm's thought network, disrupting the will of those managers."

"Then let Lord Apocalypse find the true location of Yogdashir!"

Simon laid out his entire plan.

Lin Yi was deeply shocked.

They have resisted until now because they don't want to live a miserable life and exchange humiliation for survival.

They only wanted to leave a spark for their civilization and pave a way for survival!
At this moment, they were willing to swallow the insect eggs that would turn them into monsters, just to burn two minutes of their lives to guide them on their way!

Lin Yi couldn't quite explain the complex emotions he felt.

Even though I know it's just a copy.

They also knew that they would eventually return to Earth.

But the courage and fearlessness displayed by the last surviving humans in this world moved him deeply!
