Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 195 Insect Emperor, Puppet Clan.

Inside the tower of the Insectoid Imperial Capital!

It was in the main hall on the top floor.

At this moment, a 'Spider-Man' with eight legs sits high on the throne.

Beneath the throne, a group of Saint-level powerhouses, their forms shrunk to the size of their elemental forms, stood on either side.

"So, Your Majesties mean that our first-ever contest of civilizations is doomed to failure?"

"This is utterly absurd! The military is still in the probing phase, and the Saint-level experts haven't even made a move yet, and they're already conceding defeat?! This is far too childish!"

An extremely angry expression appeared on the face of a Saint-level insectoid.

"Be careful what you say! This is the shared will of the four Your Majesties!"

"Furthermore, Minister Mondi, you are nearing the end of your life and have been recuperating recently, so you may not be aware of the situation in the capital city of the Northern State, right?"

"The main city of the Northern State? What could have happened? Surely it's not like some alien civilization has attacked us?" The Saint-rank insectoid elder frowned.

"It's not as simple as just calling out."

The insectoid man who spoke gave a bitter smile, then gestured to his adjutant to activate a projection of a magic crystal.

The projected images showed Lin Ke using terrifying power to destroy more than 300,000 square kilometers of land.

It is two hundred miles long and curled up like the blazing sun.

The entire earth was scorched and instantly turned into a sea of ​​lava and fire.

The scene depicts the fall of a demigod, followed by the arrival of over a hundred demigods who ultimately fail to achieve their goal.

All of this is telling the story.

The otherworldly deities that have now destroyed the Northern State far exceeded the insectoids' expectations.

Seeing this scene, the old insect-man trembled all over.

His face was filled with disbelief as he looked at the Taven insect emperor on the high throne.

"Your Majesty...this..."

“Minister Mondi, I understand your feelings, but this is the situation that our Tavin Empire is about to face.”

The Spider-Man Emperor appeared extremely calm, as if he were discussing something insignificant.

"This shouldn't be happening!"

"Didn't my Tavin Empire also confirm before the war that the other world was a world with almost no magic power?"

"But why? Why is there such a powerful being on the other side?"

The old minister of the insect people did not understand and found it difficult to accept this reality.

However, none of the military ministers around him said anything; they simply turned on a few more projected images.

“Minister Mondi, and all of you, our empire is facing more than just a threat from an unknown deity.”

"Furthermore, within the empire, numerous cities and towns have already been attacked by otherworldly beings!"

"The appearance of these otherworldly beings came without any warning. In fact, through comparison of the footage, we found that some of the otherworldly beings we killed had appeared more than once!"

"They aren't even particularly strong, but they are exceptionally troublesome. At least in their application of magic and their sophisticated magical artifacts, it's not hard to tell that these otherworldly beings possess a mature magical civilization!"

"Therefore, the four Your Majesties deduce, and of course, our military also deduce, that the alien civilization we are currently facing may have been conquered by another powerful alien civilization long before we found them."

"And Your Majesty, even the prophecies of our empire's mortal realm have actually been interfered with and obscured by the gods on the other side!"

"This is a trap!!! A trap set by a powerful civilization against other, weaker civilizations!"

"Unfortunately, we have now fallen into this trap."

"."

The insectoid ministers of the Saint rank were engaged in continuous discussion.

But the conclusions reached were increasingly pessimistic.

After all, given the current situation, the 'players' might not care, but the threat posed by Lin Ke, this so-called otherworldly deity, is a very real one.

Even the four emperors clearly had no way to deal with the other side.

So what can an empire in the mortal world do?

“A powerful deity descending to the mortal realm must be subject to many restrictions. I refuse to believe that this deity can do whatever it wants in the mortal world!”

"If you ask me, the Empire should approach this deity with the mindset of 'fighting with our backs to the wall'!"

"Currently, although this deity is powerful on the ground, as long as the empire continues to send Saint-level forces to wear it down, and even uses a large number of weapons and personnel to deal with it, then I think this deity will definitely not be able to stay in our world for long."

"It's not hard to see from the fact that after killing two demigods, the other party had to bring more power into the mortal world that this god is indeed terrifyingly powerful. However, the stronger the power, the stronger the suppression of Mana's will will be when it enters the mortal world. So, in fact, our empire still has a chance."

A young Saint-ranked member of the Imperial Military spoke excitedly.

However, his words were met with stares from many insect-man ministers who looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"so what?"

"Even if we defeat this deity at a great cost, how should we deal with the arrival of other, even stronger, otherworldly deities?"

"Don't be silly. Our empire has not taken any real action against the alien civilization, and the powerful civilization that is truly in control of all this behind the alien civilization has obviously not taken any real action against us either."

"This can be seen from the fact that only a few weak alien beings are causing trouble in various parts of the empire. They are just relying on our empire to train their younger generation."

"Do you really think the four dignitaries are afraid of this one god?"

"No, the four Your Majesties are worried about the entire powerful civilization behind the other side!"

At that moment, the slightly younger Saint-ranked insectoid immediately shut his mouth in dejection, unable to utter a word.

The entire hall was filled with a pessimistic mood. Finally, two loud thuds suddenly rang out from the throne.

At that moment, all the hundred-plus high-ranking ministers present looked toward the throne.

At this moment, the Emperor, the Spider-Man of the Empire, calmly stated:

"Cheer up, everyone."

"In this world, how can everything go exactly as one wishes?"

"In this war of civilizations, although our Tavin civilization chose the wrong target, isn't our current situation a kind of fortune?"

"At least for now, that deity does not seem to have a complete desire to destroy our civilization."

"At present, although the four diviners have not received a clear answer from that deity, judging from the fact that the other party has not taken any further actions to destroy the city in the past few days, this deity should still be willing to reach a reconciliation with the four diviners."

"However, judging from the current situation, this person probably wants to further hone the potential of those promising young beings in their world."

"Therefore, the military should pay more attention to this matter and make things a little easier for these otherworldly beings."

"As for the losses, let each region and ethnic group share them themselves."

"After so many years of peace in the empire, it is time for all races to offer themselves up and win the favor of the gods of other races. Only then can our empire have hope of continuing."

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'm tired too. Let's all go home."

As the Spider-Man Emperor spoke, his entire figure suddenly vanished from the throne.

I remained in the main hall, where over a hundred high-ranking ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh, that sounds really nice."

"To win the favor of foreign gods in exchange for the hope of the empire's continuation."

"It seems our Emperor also harbors rebellious thoughts."

"It's understandable that the imperial family would feel resentful after being puppets of four emperors in the mortal world for so long."

"After all, the Imperial Clan had its own ancestral deity a thousand years ago, but after that incident, that deity is no longer there, and has been replaced by the 'Xi' clan's god."

"Heh, so what if we're unwilling? If it weren't for the mercy of the four Your Majesties, considering that the Imperial Clan still has some value, it wouldn't really matter whether the Imperial Clan exists or not in the current situation."

"I even suspect that the long-term existence of the Anti-God Organization is likely due to the protection and instigation of the Imperial Clan."

"."

In the shadows, a group of high-ranking ministers were discussing the so-called emperor of the empire.

However, what they didn't know was that all of this was being watched clearly by several Spider-Men in a certain room through magical monitoring.

"These damned bastards, how dare they talk about my imperial family like this."

"Let them talk. I'm just a puppet emperor."

"Besides, isn't the one we support rebellious gods?"

Inside the room, the emperor had already changed his demeanor.

He casually lay down on a soft cushion, casually picked up a piece of fruit with both hands, and threw it into his mouth.

This is a stark contrast to his composed demeanor in the main hall.

"But, elder brother, our imperial clan, our imperial clan should not be like this!"

"All of this is the fault of the other three guys in the Astral Plane. They were the ones who surrounded and killed our ancestral god. Otherwise, there would be no space for the 'Xi' race god to occupy the divine position."

"so what?"

The Spider-Man Emperor looked at his brother and smiled faintly.

"so?"

"Yes, so this is the reality. Our imperial family only maintains its imperial status in name only."

"I still can't forget how my grandfather died."

The young Spider-Man murmured sadly.

"That's it."

"The weak have no choice."

"It's better to see yourself clearly sooner rather than later, so as to avoid wasting unnecessary energy or even losing your life."

Spider-Man Emperor smiled faintly and continued to enjoy the fruit, one bite at a time.

Looking at his elder brother now.

The young Spider-Man, under the watchful eyes of the other, even smaller Spider-Men, immediately said:
"But...but, elder brother, do you really intend to continue like this?"

"This is a rare opportunity. It is an extraordinary otherworldly deity. As long as our imperial clan seizes the opportunity and wins the other party's approval, our imperial clan may even produce another deity."

Faced with the young Spider-Man's fervent gaze, the Spider-Man Emperor simply smiled.

"So, you still haven't seen yourselves clearly."

"To a god who is high above, what right do you have to be noticed?"

"While everything in the mortal world is useful to the gods, it is ultimately limited."

"So, what I'm doing right now is simply making some ingratiating gestures to a certain extent. Whether the other party sees it or even wants to see it is beyond our control."

"Everything is predestined. Forcing things will only bring trouble, do you understand?"

"."
