This reminded Morion of Stone Dragon, with whom he had fought not long ago.

His desire was equally pure, yet it brought him great pleasure and never felt dull.

So what's the difference? Where does the difference lie?

Think about it again...

Hei Mu's desire to die stems from instinct.

If its needs are met, it may feel happy and satisfied.

But it is absolutely incapable of feeling "happiness".

Its intelligence does not allow it to experience such emotions.

Moraine could not experience the feeling of "happiness" from it.

But Shi Liulong is different.

He really enjoyed it after exchanging shots with Morion.

He felt joy and a deep sense of satisfaction.

He genuinely derived "happiness" from Morion's actions.

This is precisely why Moraine spared no effort in satisfying his desire for a "full meal".

Just as Shi Liulong said.

Morion was full too.

But what he ate was not "fighting," but "happiness."

He quickly thought of the people he had just saved not long ago.

The adults weren't important; they were just someone I rescued on a whim. The important thing was the child.

Morien loves children.

Because the young are the foundation of the group, because children are pure, their laughter is because they are happy, and their tears are because they are sad.

perhaps……

Moraine recalled what had happened a few hours earlier.

That hallucination.

In the illusion, he saw his parents.

The person who cast the illusion would certainly not know Morion's memories, so that illusion could only have originated from Morion's purest inner self.

That was Morion's true desire.

It was once, it's in the past.

That period, which can never be returned to, was the time when his "humanity" was born, sprouted, and grew.

Suddenly, Moraine seemed to realize something.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingertips tracing the surface of the mask.

It's human nature.

He seemed to understand.

What he likes is the "good" side of human nature.

Similarly, what has limited him has never been power, but humanity.

With his abilities, if he were to completely abandon humanity and unleash his power to divide the country, it wouldn't take long for him to engulf this nation, and it wouldn't take him more than a few days to fill this planet.

But he won't do that, because of human nature.

Although he no longer considers himself human, he still doesn't feel repulsed when he sees other humans.

The mask grew warm, and Morion saw the power of will within him.

Each king insect has its own preferences.

He likes the taste of humanity.

Happiness, joy, bliss.

He enjoys savoring these wonderful aspects of human nature.

He longed for happiness, wanted to be happy himself, and wanted his children to be happy.

He hoped that all his offspring would be happy.

It is precisely for this reason that Moraine's swarm possesses a remarkably high degree of "humanity".

Happiness is not an emotion that beings with low intelligence can feel.

Being surrounded by swarms of insects helps him escape loneliness, and this is not just because he is surrounded by a large number of creatures.

Rather, it was because they felt happy, and Moraine could clearly tell that they felt happy.

Moraine wanted the children to be happy, while the swarm's happiness came from "they could stay by the Queen's side forever."

As long as Morion's pheromones continue to surround them, they will not fear loneliness and will be able to feel pure joy.

Moraine was able to escape loneliness because he knew that his presence made the swarm of insects that followed him feel "happy".

It's because he's been immersed in this kind of "happiness" all along.

Therefore, Moraine also felt the same satisfaction and happiness.

In this way, he was finally no longer alone.

For a moment, Moraine felt as if something had shattered.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the digestion of a potion in the Mysterious World, but it's not quite the same.

It felt like something had shattered, bubbles forming in my heart, making me feel light and airy, and carrying me forward one step...

Morion suddenly realized the true purpose of the mask.

Prior to this, Moraine had always believed that the only effects of the Mask of Pleasure were "providing a position" and "resisting contamination".

But now Moraine realizes that she may have been wrong.

It turns out that although this mask does have a high status, it has never had the effect of "blocking pollution".

This mask of pleasure has never been effective in resisting pollution.

Its effect is to maintain Morion's true nature.

No one can actively distort Morion's will unless Morion himself actively accepts it.

It solidified Moraine's "self," and he would not change unless Moraine himself desired to change.

Just like Morion using "wishes," it was Morion actively listening to those wishes and actively absorbing those wishes.

Therefore, Moraine may be influenced by willpower.

Pollution, however, will not.

The pollution was not something Moraine actively sought out.

Therefore, they cannot change Morion, nor can they distort Morion's thoughts.

This mask never makes choices for Morion; it ensures that every choice Morion makes comes from the heart.

Yes, I like humanity.

Morion raised his head and looked once again in the direction where Lian Yun and Hei Mu died.

Silver Branch, I think I understand now.

I know what "beauty" is now.

Moraine's voice suddenly rang in Lian Yun's mind.

He turned his head and found Morion looking at him, and heard Morion's voice in his mind.

"It's so ugly, let's get rid of it quickly."

"Don't go to bed too late at night."

You should get some rest.

Upon hearing Morion's voice, Lianyun immediately spread its folded wings and flapped them vigorously.

"Ok."

With a whoosh.

The domain of gathering energy has disappeared.

Just as Hei Mu appeared in the real world, Moraine suddenly heard a clap of thunder.

Rumble.

Thunder rumbled in the distance.

"Oh wow." Morion exclaimed, looking up at the sky, which had become covered with dark clouds.

"When did they arrive?" Morion looked at the sky, which had become overcast at some point.

"I didn't even notice..."

"So this is what it looks like when your luck completely drops to zero," Moraine chuckled, feeling like she'd learned something new.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck, hitting Hei Musi precisely.

An attack without magical power cannot kill a cursed spirit.

But then, insects that had mastered the reversal technique swarmed around it.

These insect offspring happened to be right next to Hei Musi, but none of them were hit.

…………

A few minutes later, in front of a building.

Morion was pulled along by the celestial force and casually flew towards a nearby building that looked reasonably intact.

Having spent a night in the Sendai Barrier, he directly or indirectly defeated four Special Grade fighters, thus gaining a clear understanding of his full combat capabilities.
