The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 257 The Seven-Phase Insect King Curse!
On the edge of the ramparts, sleeping in the darkness.

A ceremony that would stand at the pinnacle of the entire era is slowly unfolding.

As the secret, profound ritual began.

In the endless depths of the star realm.

A quiet rustling sound slowly arose.

as if!

It is some terrifying and mighty being that is devouring the entire astral plane.

A perfect convergence following the threads of time and space.

The tranquil echo eventually merged with Zorn's ritual.

"rustle……"

As the response rustled within Zorn's body.

"call……"

Zorn let out a soft breath.

He turned to the sensations within his body.

All that could be seen was within the framework of his divine kingdom, the Tree of Laws, and his own demigod sequence.

A "king of the eating insects" is like an intricate network, running through it all.

In some subtle ways, the Insect King, the Divine Kingdom, the Tree of Laws, and Zorn himself have become completely integrated.

Wizards and ancient spells have completely merged.

"The magic spell is one!"

After a thorough and detailed examination, inside and out, Zorn nodded with great satisfaction.

"If a ritual is not used to completely digest a single Insect King Curse and achieve a state of unity between the two curses, the individual Insect King Curse may backfire."

"The Two-Phase Insect King Curse will inevitably backfire periodically."

"The backlash from the Three Insect King Curses is so violent that even a high-ranking god could be devoured to death if he is not careful."

"But... by using the ritual, I digested and integrated a portion of the Insect King's Curse, achieving a perfect state of unity between witchcraft and curse."

"If I possess even a small amount of the Ancient Devouring Insects, the Insect King's Curse will consider me part of the Mother."

"Even the Seven Phases Insect King Curse will not cause any backlash or riots."

"Next, as long as we gradually digest and master the Insect King Curse Seed through the ritual, we can complete the Seven Phases Insect King's [Star Mark - Devouring Insect Curse]."

"Even the Insect King Curse alone is already incredibly powerful; the Seven-Phase Insect King will be an extremely formidable trump card."

Lost in thought, Zorn took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

After calming his mind, he began to gradually digest the other Insect King Curse Seeds in his hands.

This took about half a year.

Zorn continued to explore the depths of this astral rift region, collecting the seeds of those insect curses.

He was quite lucky.

During this time, they obtained two naturally occurring Insect King Curse Seeds.

Combined with other scattered Insect Curse Seeds, a total of 8 Insect King Curse Seeds were finally collected.

One after another, the seeds of the Insect King Curse were absorbed and digested by Zorn.

The powerful [Star Mark: Devouring Insect Curse] within his body was gradually being constructed.

Before we knew it, more than a year had flown by.

…………

This day.

"Rumble..."

A violent tremor came from the depths of the astral rift.

"Ok?"

Zorn, who was silently digesting and improving himself with the [Star Mark: Devouring Worm Curse], looked up at the outside of the barrier.

"It seems to have the aura of the Insect King's Curse."

"Have other lower-level gods also come to inherit and master the insect spell?"

Zorn pondered to himself.

There are many forms of insect curses.

Not only can the caster deity master the Devourer Curse, but other sequences can as well.

However, most of the lower-level gods, despite their astonishing strength, often only know how to use the Insect Curse.

Anyone who dares to master the Insect King's Curse is definitely a ruthless person.

At the very least, they were trendsetters in the entire era.

Once the external turmoil subsided slightly, he felt the swaying crystal wall.

"The divine artifacts outside are almost finished being forged; it's time to go out."

After thinking it over, Zorn prepared to get up and return.

As we turned back along the quiet passage.

Zorn focused on the subtle sensations of his [Star Mark: Devouring Worm Curse].

In about three months, Zorn had mastered the Seven Phases of the Devouring Worm Curse.

Currently, the Devouring Worm Curse has reached level three.

Although it is not very tall, its power and characteristics are already extremely amazing.

Moreover, a portion of the Insect Curse has now been extended by Zorn along the crystal wall of the Calamity God Kingdom into the [Cosmic Magic Pool].

The Insect Curse, which absorbs the source of the Cosmic Magic Pool, has a more powerful devouring ability than the Insect King Curse.

Continue along the passageway.

With the cosmic magic network that Zorn had set up long ago, the return journey was now easy and smooth.

Using the spells and magic of the divine realm's passage, Zorn's speed was also extremely fast.

"If I had Abigail's perfect method of traversing, I could get out of there in just a few breaths."

"Instead of taking at least half a day like this now."

"But it's alright. If we had gone slowly, it would have taken at least half a month."

Previously, Zorn had slowly explored deeper and deeper, taking more than half a year to reach such a deep location.

They are currently using the passage of the spell to travel forward.

"Om..."

An extremely powerful repulsive force suddenly slammed into Zorn.

"Crack... Boom..."

The barrier in the rift zone that was blocking Zorn exploded.

Zorn also fell out of the passageway.

"Ok?"

Zorn raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Can these natural cracks also naturally form barriers?"

"It exists in terms of probability, but it is extremely rare, and... naturally existing barriers are often very weak."

Just as Zorn was wondering.

The auras of three lower-level gods quickly emerged.

Zorn stared intently.

However, among these three subordinates, there was one whom he was quite familiar with.

Zorn is quite familiar with the other party, but it's hard to say whether the other party is familiar with Zorn.

"Terrence, one of the darlings of the mythical wave."

"In the future, there is a high probability that he will become a top-tier god."

"If... the Kingdom of Disaster is destroyed, and he escapes with the core treasure, he may become an ancient god in the future."

"But right now, he is still just a lower-level god."

As for the other two, Zorn didn't know them very well.

Lord Osirion had previously told Zorn that there were other teams besides theirs.

But these two should be Terence's teammates, so their strength is certainly not weak.

Furthermore, Zorn sensed the aura of the insect curse on them.

Three lower-level gods, and they were extremely powerful lower-level gods.

Zorn quickly glanced at the three of them and spoke.

"I was passing through this place and did not expect that you had built a barrier here. I am sorry to have broken through your barrier."

[Demigod] Zorn Corrick!

The three of them were slightly surprised when they saw who it was.

It should be noted that this demigod Zorn is currently extremely famous within the divine realm.

Terence, who was in the lead, raised an eyebrow slightly and then said.

"We're just setting up a small barrier here to prevent those active insect curses from interfering with our absorption and digestion of the insect curses."

"I'm a little embarrassed that I couldn't stop you from going!"

Zorn glanced behind them, seemingly lost in thought.

"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer." Zorn guessed that the other party must have imprisoned a powerful living insect curse, and had no intention of interfering with them.

Just as Zorn was about to leave, Terence stopped him.

"Lord Zorn's departure this time must be due to the completion of the Insect King Curse!"

"We were lucky enough to find the Insect King Curse."

Zorn nodded slightly.

"I have long heard the legends of the demigod Zorn, which are sung by many wandering knights throughout the land of the gods."

"How about we have a little sparring match?"

Zorn frowned slightly, still deep in thought.

Terence has already made his move without hesitation.

The space behind him suddenly turned pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, the world around them began to crackle and pop as one eerie silver chain after another pierced and intertwined around them.

In an instant, the passage that Zorn wanted to leave this place was completely locked up by the numerous silver insect curse chains.

Seeing this, Zorn frowned slightly.

These geniuses of the Divine Kingdom's Tide Children are all proud and arrogant; none of them would easily admit defeat.

In recent years, Zorn has been riding high.

His stories and legends have already begun to be sung throughout the land of God.

Clearly, he is the leading figure in the current mythological wave of the Disaster Court Divine Kingdom.

Other extraordinary individuals naturally also wanted to compete with Zorn.

If they can follow Zorn's trajectory in the mythological wave, they will receive more gifts from fate and reach even greater heights in the future.

Knowing the other party's thoughts, since the other party wants to take action.

Then Zorn didn't hold back.

"rustle……"

"rustle……"

A strange hissing sound rose up like a tidal wave.

At the same time, within the blooming black mist of calamity, the black Insect King Curse slowly emerged with a rustling sound.

Terence's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.

His Insect King Curse is skilled in strangulation and control, and it is currently only at level 1, not yet upgraded to level 2.

However, the hissing sound from the other party clearly demonstrated their extremely high level of control over the Insect King Curse.

Even so, he was still somewhat confident.

No matter what, he was still a lower-level god.

But the other party was only a demigod.

"Kaka..."

Like chains twisting and turning, the Silver Insect King suddenly lunged at Zorn.

Zorn's black insect king curse immediately pounced.

One silver and one black, the two insect kings tore at each other and fought each other deep in the cave.

Although the opponent has the advantage of divine power, Zorn has the advantage of the Insect King Curse level, and also the advantage of the Rune Ring.

Not to mention, the resources that Zorn used to cultivate the Insect King were far beyond what the other side could match.

Therefore, Zorn's Insect King Curse clearly suppressed Naterence's Insect King Curse.

Seeing that his Insect King Curse was being suppressed.

Naterence immediately began to continuously pour divine power into the Insect King Curse.

Zorn also infused his divine power into him.

The "Eating Insect King Curse" can possess both a curse body and an insect body.

It can launch continuous attacks on the enemy.

If the Insect King's curse cannot be blocked, one or two bites are enough to kill the opponent.

The goal is to keep the Devouring Insect King Curse attacking continuously, and even unleash its greater power.

That would require a continuous influx of more divine power.

Compared to other ancient divine spells.

The upper limit of the Devouring Worm Curse is extremely astonishing.

As their divine power was poured in...

The battle between the Devouring Insect King and the Curse is becoming increasingly fierce.

Rumble…

The entire astral rift region was in constant turmoil, with astral debris and fragments constantly drifting and spreading.

"Chichi..."

"Kaka..."

The two great insect kings were also constantly tearing at each other.

This terrifying power made the two gods beside Terence secretly tremble with fear.

"If such terrifying power were to fall on me, a single bite would be enough to severely injure me. Moreover, this Insect King Curse can devour, absorb, and digest anything to strengthen itself."

"After all, that terrifying consuming ancient worm had devoured the entire Stardust Plateau."

clack clack...

Chi Chi!

With constant biting and trembling.

Terence's expression grew increasingly grim.

His Insect King Curse was already stable and powerful enough.

But as the battle raged, Zorn's Insect King Curse easily spread to a size of ten thousand meters, and it remained remarkably stable.

However, his Insect King Curse, which extended to a length of about 10,000 meters, was already becoming difficult to sustain.

Although the length of the Insect King's Curse doesn't necessarily prove anything.

However, judging from the stability of both sides, his Insect King Curse is difficult to counter Zorn's Insect King Curse.

More importantly.

He could clearly feel that the Insect King Curse of Nazorn was very efficient at devouring and digesting his divine power.

However, his Insect King Curse is difficult to devour and digest the opponent's Insect King Curse.

If things continue like this, he'll lose sooner or later, and the losses will only get worse.

Lost in thought!
Terence quickly absorbed his Insect King Curse.

Seeing this, Zorn calmly put away his Insect King Curse.

"Lord Zorn's Insect King Curse is indeed powerful; I have lost this battle."

Terence said it frankly.

"Your Insect King Curse is also exceptionally powerful. Given time, it will allow our Disaster Court Kingdom's Insect King Curse to shine brightly."

Zorn also spoke with a hint of admiration.

Having said that, Zorn didn't stay any longer and quickly departed using a spell.

Only after Zorn left did a slight rustling sound emanate from Terence's body.

Streams of divine power continued to emanate from it.

Looking in the direction Zorn had left, his expression shifted between light and dark.

"The Two-Phase Insect King Curse, this guy has some impressive skills. He's only at the demigod level, yet he dares to cultivate a Two-Phase Insect King Curse. He's really not afraid of death!"

"Even in a one-on-one fight against the Insect King Curse, I would be no match for it."

"Once it unleashes the Two-Phase Insect King Curse, even if the three of us join forces, we probably won't be a match for this guy in terms of insect curses."

With this in mind, he also gained a profound understanding of Zorn Corrick, the demigod whose reputation in the divine realm had been growing over this period.

"This guy is definitely extraordinary."

…………

About half a day later.

Zorn successfully left the Astral Rift region and returned to the ancient temple where the ancient gods' curses were passed down.

After reporting back to the high god stationed there.

As Zorn made his way to his floating island of divine kingdom, he sent a message to Abigail to inquire about the progress of the artifact forging.

He received a reply very quickly.

"It should take about three more months to complete the forging."

"During this time, you can focus on your cultivation within the divine realm. I will contact you once the divine artifact is forged."

After receiving accurate information, Zorn felt relieved.

"After obtaining the artifact, I will purchase a batch of resources and then head to the Black Star Divine Kingdom to properly cultivate my rune ring and advance to the level of a legendary demigod."

"A legendary demigod..."

Zorn was lost in thought.

"Its level... can also be increased without limit."
