Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

"Ah."

Fu Xuan didn't try to be brave; he simply couldn't do what he couldn't do, and naturally, he resolutely refused to do something that was completely beyond his capabilities.

Anyway, Yu Tianyi isn't an unreasonable boss, so there's no need for him to come up with any countermeasures.

"It seems that Qingque has encountered some trouble."

Suddenly, Fu Xuan's divine eye on his forehead lit up slightly, as if he had seen something urgent.

"She will contact me in ten minutes. Since you are not in the future I see, Qingque is most likely coming to find you."

"It seems that the civilization of this world has left some contingency plans, otherwise, with Qingque's current strength, he shouldn't have needed me to intervene."

As for matters outside of battle, Yu Tianyi did not think they would be difficult for Qingque. As he spoke, he communicated with the Abundant Destiny and cast his gaze toward the point of light that represented Qingque.

His composure didn't last long; after seeing the scene before Qingque, he was immediately taken aback.

"This is... the wing powder of the Breeding Envoy! How did this thing end up here?"

Yu Tianyi uses the gaze projected from his destiny, which is similar to a third-person perspective. He is positioned slightly above Qingque's head, and with the broadened understanding brought by his Star God status, he is able to see more.

About five meters in front of Qingque, a wall a hundred meters wide, with most of its structure buried underground, stood out of thin air, occasionally flashing with an eerie light that sent chills down one's spine.

Despite its small size and seemingly unrelated nature to the legendary Star-Shattering King Worm, Yu Tianyi was able to deduce what it was based on the traces of fate on it.

These are wing dusts that fell from the terrifying wings of the Starshattering King Worm Skarakkabaz, which are large enough to cover the entire galaxy. They are similar to a single cell falling from a human body. Given the extent to which the locust plague is currently ravaging the galaxy, it is not surprising to find these in some obscure corner.

The problem is that the Azure Sparrow is not in the Milky Way now, but in a demiplane to which a civilization has retreated.

It's clear that the Starshattering King Insect wasn't so bored as to deliberately leave its wing dust in the demiplane. So there's only one possibility left: someone in the demiplane must have taken it with them during their retreat.

"Tianyi recognized it so quickly. That's right, this stuff is the wing powder of the Star Shattering King Insect. These guys are really bold to have secretly brought this in."

No wonder my extensive treatment of the masses didn't elicit any response from this demiplane's government; the high-ranking officials of this Evelli state had already transformed themselves into half-insect creatures.

Qingque nodded, her expression very solemn. Although she had learned many stories about this topic from her position in the Taibu Si, this was the first time she had ever witnessed something like this.

A rare hint of murderous intent flickered in his pale green eyes.

"They thought this method would allow them to maintain their rationality and gain greater power, but unfortunately, their cognition underwent a terrible distortion when they transformed into half-insect creatures."

The most obvious manifestation is the near-complete loss of empathy, disordered social relationships, and a shift in emotional inclinations. Therefore, they secretly buried this substance in the basement of a government building, continuously using its influence to subtly transform nearby creatures.

Even just hearing Qingque say that, Yu Tianyi could feel a sense of horror. No wonder someone like her would have murderous intent.

Just as the two were talking, several dark figures appeared behind Qingque like ghosts in the shadows. Their hands, which had already transformed into giant scythes, crossed with a single movement, seemingly capable of cutting the girl into countless pieces.

"Sigh, you underestimate me too much. Don't send out these grunts to test me."

At this critical moment, Qingque calmly turned around, casually shook her palm a few times, and several pieces of Imperial Jade appeared in her hand, jumping in the air as she danced with her palm.

When a jade pendant fell back into Qingque's hand, she flicked her finger, and the jade pendant transformed into a stream of light that pierced through the vital parts of these dark figures, while she took a step forward.

Only after Qingque finished her series of actions did the shadowy figures rush back to her original location due to inertia.

boom!

Several dark figures collided with each other, then collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their bones. Their heads had been pierced through vital organs, and they were already beyond dead.

"With such strength, it's no wonder you dare to impersonate a messenger of the gods, Miss Qingque."

Qingque paused, and three figures emerged from behind the load-bearing pillars in the basement, each radiating an aura far beyond that of ordinary people.

"However, those creatures have forgotten the information from the outside world, but we still have records. There has never been a being called the God of Life in this galaxy!"

"..."

Qingque looked at the leader, or rather, the insect. It had the head of a true worm, but its hands had turned into giant scythes similar to those of the Star-Shattering King Worm. Apart from retaining some characteristics of its original race, it was almost impossible to connect the two.

"It seems I was being a bit too cautious. Even if you beasts originally had some strategy, after your cognition was distorted, your brains are probably mostly filled with the instinct to reproduce, which can be called stupid."

She shook her head. These guys were out of their minds. Any intelligent being with a normal brain could see the absolute difference in strength she had just displayed.

The other party ignored them, just like the villains in some fantasy plays who are deliberately made less intelligent for the sake of the plot.

PS:

Creating fictional narratives isn't too difficult at the moment, but it's uncertain how things will unfold in the future.

If you talk to this bird, it will tell a story about Pera overthrowing Bronya. I don't know if this is a future before the protagonist gets involved, or if it's just pure fiction.

Chapter 143 Ready

The brightly lit basement was now filled with an indescribable eerie atmosphere. On one side was a brown-haired girl with a calm expression and a bluish glow, and on the other side were several strange insect-men who seemed to have the upper hand and exuded a twisted aura.

"what?"

Suddenly, Qingque whispered something with a strange expression. Before the insect people could react, a gray barrier, like ripples on water, appeared out of thin air.

The next moment, a figure with a red glow on its face emerged from the crowd. With a crisp cutting sound, the insectoids instantly turned into countless fragments that flew everywhere. The remaining flesh and blood evaporated in mid-air, leaving only a few shell remnants that fell to the ground with a few crisp sounds.

"Hey, wait a minute, what's going on?"

The girl was stunned for a moment by this sudden change. Then, Qingque saw that the figure who had killed these insectoids had returned to the barrier. She quickly raised her hand to ask some questions.

However, the other party did not seem to want to talk to Qingque. Even though they heard her words of urging them to stay, they still disappeared into the light screen without looking back.

"Tianyi, do you know what just happened?"

Not quite understanding the situation, Qingque realized that she wasn't the only one watching, so she immediately asked Yu Tianyi, who was also observing the situation in the basement, in her mind.

"...I roughly know what happened, but I'm not 100% sure yet."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and about ten seconds later, Yu Tianyi's voice slowly came through, which sounded strange to Qingque.

It wasn't surprise, but a mixture of understanding, confusion, and even doubt.

"It's strange that Tianyi reacted so strongly to what just happened. Although he's not exactly a heartless person, he rarely shows such obvious emotional fluctuations."

In a flash, Qingque arrived at the spot where the gray ripples had disappeared. She reached out her hand and sensed a dimensional fluctuation that had not yet dissipated.

It seems that the other party is using some kind of instrument or ability that can cross multiple dimensions to travel through, and the effect is very stable.

Judging from that fleeting glimpse, even a fixed plane only produced a few ripples, and this is a demiplane.

If the opponent is not traversing within a demiplane, then this ability is extremely terrifying.

"Don't worry about their affairs for now. Qingque, use the Abundant Fate to isolate the wing powder of that Star Shattering King Insect. I'll deal with it once this demiplane returns to reality."

Now that we know the specifics, let's not hold back and speed things up. I'll give you a break when we get back.

"okay!"

Upon hearing that there was a holiday, Qingque's previous anger dissipated considerably, and she immediately began working with renewed enthusiasm.

Turning his gaze away from her, Yu Tianyi frowned. If he wasn't mistaken, the gray barrier from earlier should have been some kind of dimensional portal.

Furthermore, judging from his abilities, they are very similar to those of a character from a tokusatsu drama he watched before his time travel, namely Tsukasa Kadoya.

"But if I chose the extraterrestrial visitor at the start, why didn't the cheat work when the figure appeared? Was I not there?"

Or perhaps this is merely a summoned creature, not the creature itself.

To be honest, Yu Tianyi had already anticipated this when he learned from the Black Tower that the universe aggregate was not unique and that there were different universe aggregates.

Since he was able to travel from Earth, it's only possible that the myriad worlds could exist there; it's just that I hadn't encountered them before.

"Kamen Rider? If it's just a simple resemblance, that's fine, but if it's the real thing, then that's interesting."

Yu Tianyi remained expressionless. Aside from the fact that these memories did make him momentarily disoriented at the beginning, they did not have much of an impact on him afterward.

After all, Kamen Rider's combat power is not weak, but it seems insignificant compared to the Locust Plague.

He sent the Heavenly Dragon Meteor back underground, took Fu Xuan back to the third planet where the Bronze Divine Tree was located, and had Silver Wolf and March 7 select some capable and trustworthy beings under his command to prepare for the upcoming 'closed beta'.

"After this period of testing, I have a pretty good idea of ​​who to contact. Leave it to me."

Silver Wolf nodded confidently, then climbed back into the cockpit to begin her monster-hunting journey. Although she had personally fought and killed countless insects over the years, those were all unavoidable choices.

After all, as the commander, if she were to take action, it would mean that heavy losses had already been incurred. In such a situation, killings would involve the sacrifice of a large number of soldiers, so naturally there would be no positive feedback.

The situation here is naturally different. There are no worries about the future, and there is no need to worry about the negative impact of teammates' sacrifices.

With the separation of the abundant destiny path of Tianyi Jianmu clone, the concept of the reproductive destiny path could not erode the cognition of intelligent beings, and the most terrible infectiousness of the locust plague was contained, instantly reducing the difficulty by more than one level.

Just like the virus in Resident Evil lost its infectivity, the difficulty of the dungeon will be reduced by countless times. At least you don't have to worry about mutating after getting a cut.

However, while the locust plague apocalypse is important, given the existence of the fertility god Taizyuros, the ultimate goal is to kill it or, as in reality, sever its concept so that it cannot return for a short period of time.

Since they were preparing for the closed beta test, Yu Tianyi naturally needed to find a strong guarantee for his base, which was the reason he had communicated with Suihuang a few days ago.

Of course, the other party had a great responsibility and needed to stay at the defense line, so it could not come in its main body. Therefore, it used its own characteristic of being able to gather and merge to split off a fragment, which had about 70% of its own strength.

It's not that the Fire Emperor can't create stronger clones, but if the proportion increases further, it will affect its normal strength, which would be counterproductive.

The fragment of Suihuang was a sphere burning with the Primordial Flame, exactly the same as the one he had manifested before Tianyi that day.

"Thank you, Senior Suihuang."

March 7th respectfully accepted the sphere. Although it appeared to be burning with raging flames, it did not feel any burning sensation when held in the hand.

"Go then, my fragments will be watching your plans. I hope this time there will truly be hope for success."

The flames that ignited in the void transformed into a human hand, waved it, and then vanished.

Meanwhile, March 7, carrying the fragments of the Emperor of Fire, flew to the nearby boundary anchor point, and with a thought, transformed into a stream of light and departed, embarking on his journey to the world of Shining Takumi.

At this point, all the prerequisites for the entire 'game' have been met, and everything is ready for the official start of the closed beta test.
