Simultaneous Transmigration: A Fateful Traveler's Journey Begins in Mystery

It was pondering whether the creature in front of it, which clearly did not resemble an insect, was the mother insect.

Moraine looked up and met its gaze without fear.

"Do you want to work with me?" Moraine asked.

The mother insect did not answer.

“Really? You still miss the World-Bewildering Insect?” Morion nodded. “I understand.”

"After all, if I die in the future, I don't want my children to forget me as soon as they turn around."

Moraine smiled.

"Sigh, just as I expected..."

He sighed.

"Children found from other places are not as close as one's own offspring."

"Actually, I myself am not very accepting of ethnic groups from other places."

He held the stinging insect and shrugged.

"I always thought I was finally starting to accept the insect offspring, but in the end, I can only accept my own insect offspring."

He patted the head of the stinging insect in his arms.

"You ate my flesh and blood, so you barely qualify."

"The rest... let's forget about them."

The bewitching mother insect twitched its wings slightly, indicating its understanding.

It also prefers its own offspring.

“You’ve eaten people, haven’t you? It’s filthy,” Moraine suddenly said.

"Well then, it's fate that we met."

He moved the mask to the front, covering his face.

“I will devour your spirits and give birth to new ones.”

The mother insect opened her mouthparts in bewilderment and emitted a buzzing sound.

Suddenly, Moraine raised three fingers, and his voice echoed in the minds of every insect present, causing a subtle commotion.

"Did you know that the essence of ritual magic is to pray for power from those in higher positions?"

"So, I've been researching and trying to make 'fate' itself the object of my prayers. Of course, I've also done some research on the Star Gods. I can only say that most of the time it's useless."

"It depends on whether the content of the prayer aligns with the philosophy of destiny. For example, if you want to create a ritual magic that heals quickly, using [Abundance] as the goal of the ritual magic will almost never be rejected."

“But then it becomes really hard to tell whether the target of my prayer is the Star God or destiny itself.” Morion spread his hands. “But it’s not that important. Anyway, as long as I succeed, it doesn’t really matter who the target is.”

"In short, there are probably three star gods in this universe who are the easiest to summon power from."

"First, there is the [Void] Star God IX, who never refuses anyone; second, there is the [Abundance] Star God Pharmacist, who grants every request; and third, there is the [Preservation] Star God Kripper, whose driving force is said to be 'dedication'."

"This may also be related to their destiny itself."

"Among them, I dare not use the power of [Void], and the power of [Abundance] is useless now. Therefore, I have borrowed the power of [Preservation]."

"It seems that the Amber King is ignoring me right now, but that's okay. What I'm doing now is protecting the power of this planet. Although I don't really care about them that much, at least part of my purpose is to protect them."

"By the way, as a Sequence Eight of the Seeker Path, I can quickly set up ritual magic, omitting a lot of details and completing the ritual setup with ease."

"The materials for this ceremony are the wishes of the people who are currently living on this planet and want to survive."

"This is the first time I've tried using my willpower to set up a ceremony, and the results were surprisingly good."

The procedure was made public.

As soon as he finished speaking, patches of amber-colored walls appeared around the swarm of insects, and the sky and the ground were also tinged with color.

These lights will surround the entire swarm of insects present, leaving them nowhere to hide and nowhere to leave.

In the world of Lord of Mysteries, even the weakest person, even a Sequence Nine, can connect with the Old Ones using ritual magic.

Regardless of the consequences, ritual magic itself is quite remarkable.

"Actually, at first I was worried that the Amber King would not be willing to lend his power. After all, it is obvious that I am just a nobody."

"Hmm... I don't know if this is an automatic response from fate or if the Amber King has truly approved of this matter."

"Perhaps He approves of Silver Branch?"

As Morien spoke, she hugged the stinging insect that had spoken to her at the beginning, took two steps back, and walked out of the ritual area.

The insect swarm trapped in the ritual began to panic, their biological instincts alerting them to the impending doom.

"Stop here."

Moraine's voice once again resounded in their minds through the "Symphony of Harmony," contradicting their own thoughts and causing them to pause in their actions.

The mother insect recovered the fastest, pausing for only a few seconds before quickly spreading her wings and rushing towards Morion, crashing into the amber-colored light screen in front of Morion with a bang.

Chapter 61 Swallowing a Soul, Rebirth

But those few seconds of hesitation were already too late.

As the ritual began, amber light enveloped the swarming insects, and above them, a semi-transparent hammer appeared faintly.

This is certainly not the hammer in Amber King's own hand, nor does Morion have such power.

This is merely a phantom, likely an automatic response from fate itself to the ritual.

boom!

A mother insect the size of half a small mountain crashed into the amber-colored barrier, creating ripples on the surface, but it did not break through directly.

The power of [protection] is, to say the least, certainly strong enough.

Just then.

A huge rose-colored spear fell from the sky, piercing the back of the mother insect from above.

The amber-colored barrier did not stop the spear.

"You've worked hard, my friend." Silver Branch's voice rang out from behind Morion, fleeting by. "I didn't expect you to actually be able to find the mother worm."

Silver Branch brushed past Morion and entered the amber-colored barrier.

He was summoned by Morion using butterflies.

“It’s not difficult, actually,” Morion replied, not caring whether Silverbrush could hear him or not. “Being able to communicate with insects isn’t actually that hard.”

"After all, they look silly."

boom! boom! boom!

Several more explosions rang out from not far away.

Missiles flew in from afar, entered the barrier, and struck the swarm of insects.

This planet is not some backward civilization that is completely powerless to fight back.

He had already integrated into the Star Peace Corporation's territory.

Moraine's recent encounter with Tate, an employee, was originally on this planet to make a trade.

This is a wealthy planet with both resources and technology. If it were backward enough, the company would most likely not have approached it with such an easygoing attitude as "transaction".

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The attacks became increasingly frequent.

They were only caught off guard by the camouflaged queen at the beginning, and then the swarm launched a counterattack.

Now that the mother insect is trapped, they are not incapable of launching a counterattack.

After all, it's a planet that can do business with the company, so at least it's not as helpless as the original inhabitants who are completely out of touch with the stars.

Now, as Morion summons the Mother Worm and Silverbringer begins its attack, the survivors launch their counterattack.

What they need to do now is to eliminate the queen insect at all costs. After that, they just need to keep a close watch to prevent new queen insects from appearing, and the remaining insects will slowly die from entropy loss.

This period will not even exceed two months.

Moraine did not enter the battlefield; instead, she stood outside the circle, interfering with the Queen's command of other swarms by constantly sending out random commands to prevent Silverbringer from being overwhelmed by the mob.

More and more missiles fell, and the dense explosions forced Silver Branch to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield and retreat outside the barrier.

Because of its high destructive power, the explosion was contained within the barrier.

Looking at the situation inside the amber barrier, Morion held the larva in one arm and held his mask with the other.

His voice once again resounded in the hearts of all those who were misled and corrupted by the world.

"With the fall of the Insect King and the disappearance of the Queen Insect, will you feel lonely?"

In the reproductive journey symbolized by "death upon separation," this statement seems to be a significant blow to the mother insect.

With the ability to be understood 100%, this statement seemed to finally make the mother insect realize that she was probably also in a state of "isolation".

Its movements became somewhat stiff at this moment, and its counterattacks against the surroundings gradually lost their strength.

“Stop struggling, you will find new Queen Worms,” Morion’s voice continued.

"At that time, you will no longer be alone."

"At that time, you will no longer be yourselves, but you will no longer be alone."

Moraine honestly said that there was no deception.

The mother insect suddenly stopped moving.

boom!

The increasingly dense barrage of missiles gradually engulfed it. But it neither dodged nor evaded, simply letting the missiles surround it.

More than half of the planet's firepower was quickly unleashed upon the area enveloped by the amber barrier.

Smoke filled the air, but the explosion was contained within a barrier and did not reach anyone outside.

After a long while, the bombing stopped, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the dying queen and the other offspring that had already been killed inside the barrier.
