Chapter 313 First Clash, Emptiness, Human Organization (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Bam—!"

A thunderous roar followed, the fighter jet's windshield shattered, and glass-like objects made of a special metal rained down on the four people inside the cabin.

At the same time, Joe crouched at the front of the fighter jet, its long tail raised. It slowly raised its head, its eyes indifferent in the shadows, yet gleaming with a ferocious golden light.

At that moment, Gu Qiye's pupils contracted slightly. The black lightning transformed into a thick substance that merged into his blood, running along his veins like a wild horse, before turning back into a violent arc of electricity, stimulating every nerve and bone in his body.

A surge of intense heat coursed through his body, and he almost instinctively sprang up from his seat, his dark eyes fixed on the nearby Big Bee Lord "Joe," while a burst of dark electricity suddenly erupted from his palm.

He lowered his body, lunged forward, raised his hand in a chop motion, and black electricity extended from his hand, transforming into a sharp knife, which then stabbed towards Joe's chest!

Qiao Wei was taken aback, seemingly not expecting humans to react so quickly. Her pupils reflected a fierce flash of lightning and Gu Qiye's cold, icy expression.

The next second, a sharp shard of the windshield grazed Gu Qiye's face, leaving a gruesome wound from which blood trickled down. His right hand was already very close to Qiao's chest.

In a fleeting fraction of a second, Joe finally snapped out of it. Its expression darkened, and it abruptly raised its right hand. Its five claws bent and pressed against the front of its chest, making contact with the sharp, black lightning.

With a loud "crack," the dark exoskeleton covering the back of its hand shattered! Joe's hand was pierced, but it suddenly grinned.

"So hard, are all the bodies of the Light-Eating Bees this hard?" This was the first thought that came to Gu Qiye's mind. His lightning hand dagger had already pierced through Qiao's hand, but could not go any further, stopping only in front of Qiao's chest.

He thought that at such close range, his strike would be enough to pierce Joe's chest and crush the humanoid's heart. But he failed.

At that moment, Gu Qiye looked up and was suddenly stunned. What he saw on Qiao's face was a hint of madness and an expression of great interest, as if... it was enjoying itself and reveling in it.

This expression is like that of a child who has put two beetles in a cardboard box and let them kill each other, then cups his face in his hands, leans over the edge of the box, and observes them with curiosity and joy.

It was a condescending scrutiny, arrogant, leisurely... disdainful of others.

"Does he think he's superior to others..." Gu Qiye frowned, noticing that Qiao's other hand was reaching for his heart. So he pulled his left hand out from the back of Qiao's hand while raising his right hand.

Dark lightning gathered in his palm, instantly condensing into a perfect, tiny sphere.

To force Joe back, he used both his index and middle fingers to flick the dark sphere forward. Enveloped in thousands of tiny arcs of electricity, the fingertip-sized ball hurtled forward, aimed directly at Joe's chest—Gu Qiye's goal remained the same: to destroy his heart!

Joe retracted his pierced right hand, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his hard exoskeleton formed a fortress. The electric ball rushed towards him, shrinking to a size almost invisible to the naked eye the instant it made contact with Joe, before expanding wildly again.

"Boom—!" Dark lightning surged forth from within, forming a curtain that tore through Joe's exoskeleton and devoured his flesh along with it.

In the blink of an eye, Joe's two arms were cut in half, emitting white smoke, but the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

In that instant, Gu Qiye suddenly realized something was wrong. It seemed as if some strange liquid was flowing through his body, and almost instantly, it had surged throughout his entire body!

His pupils contracted, and he suddenly realized that his body was completely immobile. No matter how much his nerves trembled, no matter how frantically and desperately he tried to get feedback from his body, it remained as if it were dead, unresponsive.

"Poison? This horn bee's special ability is to spread a toxin that renders an enemy incapacitated the moment it comes into contact with them?" Gu Qiye suddenly realized.

Qiao's broken hands reached out to him as if to embrace him, but Gu Qiye's body remained immobile, leaning forward and swaying precariously in mid-air, seemingly about to fall onto Qiao.

In the blink of an eye, the entire process of the two sides exchanging blows took less than 0.5 seconds.

Inside the cabin, the metallic rain from the shattered car window barely grazed Gu Qiye's body before pouring down on the three people behind him.

"Arrogant beast, you actually came here all by yourself?" Oda Hideaki frowned, drew his sword, and the black longsword swept through the air, the light flashing and obliterating all the fragments.

Garfield sighed, kicked the control panel, and flew backward, landing at the back of the cabin, putting distance between himself and Joe.

During this process, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Hurry up and take us back, Ditto!"

Yuriel sat quietly in the back, raising her icy blue eyes, her face expressionless.

Her gaze remained fixed on Gu Qiye and Qiao, as if the entire world consisted only of those two. Because without focused observation, given her dynamic visual abilities, she probably couldn't keep up with Qiao and Gu Qiye's movements.

Yuriel knew that suddenly unleashing her powers in this close and cramped space would likely injure everyone in the cabin, which would be a greater loss than gain. Therefore, she had been waiting for an opportunity to make her move.

She watched as Gu Qiye's hand slash pierced through Qiao's right hand, and then watched as Gu Qiye's left hand released an electric ball. Qiao crossed her arms and used her two exoskeleton layers to block the electric light.

But then, something happened that Yuriel couldn't understand: Gu Qiye suddenly stopped moving, like a puppet with its strings cut, and leaned forward, falling towards Qiao's side.

Joe opened its blood-soaked arms, as if to embrace Gu Qiye, or perhaps intending to crush his body entirely—something that would be effortless for it. "He... is controlled by the enemy's ability?" The moment this thought flashed through Yuriel's mind, the surrounding ice dust suddenly solidified, layer upon layer enveloping the inside of Joe's arms, rendering it unable to move further.

Through Joe's wound, the ice dust seeped into its blood vessels, running along them as if to freeze all the blood in its body! In this way, even a light-devouring bee would become no different from a vegetable.

The moment Joe came to his senses, before the blood vessels in his legs froze, he stomped hard on the front of the fighter jet, creating a spiderweb-like crater. He plummeted straight down from a thousand meters above the ground, crashing into the brightly lit Hive.

Cameron, the Three-Bee King, spread his giant wings made of bird feathers and shot into the sky in an instant, catching Joe as he fell.

She licked her lips and looked up at the teetering fighter jet.

In that instant, the light-eating bees, who had just been absorbing sunlight, all reacted. A deafening trembling sound rang out as the bees unfurled their thin wings! They flapped their wings and flew towards the fighter jets in the sky.

Because the bees no longer consumed sunlight, at this moment, the sun's radiance was able to shine upon this perpetually dark, uninhabited island.

The sun shone brightly, allowing the four people in the fighter jet to clearly see the island.

They gazed at the island in the height of summer. Thousands upon thousands of light-devouring bees, like wild dogs spotting their prey, spread their wings, flapped their wings, and stomped on the ground. Then, one by one, they rose from the ground and charged at the fighter jets in a chaotic frenzy! Their sheer numbers and disorder made their bodies almost contort into a golden tornado that swept into the sky.

The buzzing of bee wings was deafening, the enormous sound almost engulfing the entire world, as if a real tornado had appeared on the island, howling wildly.

In the sky above, Oda Hideaki stood at the front of the fighter jet, holding a black katana, his black kimono fluttering in the wind.

He frowned, staring at the thousands of bees, then peering through a gap in the hive. The remaining three queen bees remained unmoved, seemingly believing that the intruders would be devoured by the light-eating bees and that they didn't need to intervene.

"Arrogant insects..."

Oda Hideaki stood ramrod straight, his pale hair swaying in the wind. He swung his sword, slowly drawing a black circle in the sky.

The next moment, a black hole appeared directly above the fighter jet. The surrounding air suddenly contracted inward, and the huge suction force pulled the surging light-devouring bees and even the fighter jet into it. Then the black opening closed.

A total of over a hundred light-devouring bees were swallowed by the cavity, while the remaining batch hovered motionless in mid-air.

Just seconds earlier, at the very moment Oda Hideaki drew a black hole with his katana, the diamond-shaped markings on the wrists of the four Rainbow Wing members simultaneously burst forth with a deep blue light—Urushihara Ruri released her supernatural power, taking them back to the edge of the island several kilometers away, where the fighter jet was completely empty.

At this moment, at the entrance of the hive, the four queen bees raised their heads and quietly gazed at the scene in the sky.

"A spatial ability user." Cameron licked his lips, watching the black void slowly disappear. "Can he create spatial rifts by swinging his sword?"

Joe slowly sat up. "That white-haired human woman used ice; she briefly froze my blood..."

As he spoke, he clenched his claws, looking at the healing wounds. "But the one who used electricity was more dangerous. He was faster than me. It's a pity... I paralyzed his body with neurotoxin, but I didn't have time to kill him."

"It's amazing that there are humans who can be faster than you. The human species is truly diverse," Cameron said.

"Mervit, you bastard..." Guli said to Four Bees Lord in a fit of rage, "You think you can bully me just because I don't have wings? Why don't you take me with you to join the battle?"

Melvitt shrugged. "I just think that by the time I get this lump of yours onto that plane, those guys will either be long gone or Joe will have taken care of them."

"What did you say..." Gu Li's muscles bulged, and the giant hammer embedded in his tail swung upwards.

“Blame it on your own for not having wings.” Melvitt scratched his ear. “Joe, Cameron, our enemy is very strong… If I’m not mistaken, there’s an organization in human memory that matches their behavior.”

"What organization?" Cameron turned his head, his sea-blue eyes looking at him curiously.

"Rainbow Wings..."

Joe searched through his memories. The Light-Eating Bees could inherit memories from the humans they devoured, so he naturally knew this famous name that was well-known in the human world.

“Yes, Rainbow Wing.” Melvitt nodded. “There are twelve of them in total. If they’re coming for us, then we need to be prepared. Next time… they’ll come with more than just this many people.”

Joe looked down at his arms, which had completely healed, and the exoskeleton was put back on.

It remained expressionless, turned and walked into the interior of the hive, its figure gradually being swallowed by the shadows at the end.
