My evil self is completely unable to exert its power in the Zerg.

All the insects held their breath, and Freya was even prepared to cut off the male insect's finger and then try to save it.

But the thing that terrified the insect did not happen.

"It's cool and smooth!"

Su Tang exclaimed in surprise, her little hands curiously stroking it gently.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, smooth and delicate, with a strange elasticity. It seems that warm liquid is slowly flowing inside, and it emits a faint, strange, metallic scent.

The deep purple light in that area seemed to be activated when he touched it, instantly brightening and pulsating slightly like breathing.

The monster's venom, capable of instantly corroding a powerful female insect, was temporarily retracted into its venom sac, preventing it from causing even the slightest harm to the delicate male insect.

"It moves! Like a living energy cell! That's so cool! Morpheus, do you have a light-up cannon here? Like fireworks, whoosh—! Bang!"

Morpheus's massive body stiffened completely. He lowered his head, his huge, scarlet eye staring intently at the area on the inside of his jaw that Su Tang's small hand had touched and even "studied." His eyes were filled with bewilderment and shock at having his understanding of the world completely overturned.

Part of its killing weapon, which it was proud of, or perhaps deeply ashamed of, became a glowing toy in the eyes of this little male insect.

A soft sigh came from Klein's direction.

The marshal's icy blue eyes swept over the monster, which was stiff all over, had twisted its bones due to the male insect's small movements, and was even paralyzed by its own poison, unable to move its legs. A mocking smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

Freya's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. His worries were unnecessary. Xiao's skill in using fire to lure insects was so great that he didn't even spare monsters!

The brothers Isaac and Adlord stared wide-eyed, their eyes glued to Su Tang's unrestrained little hand, their envy almost tangible—the male insect was not only unafraid of Morpheus, a monster even more terrifying than themselves in insect form, but was also comforting him like this!

Any female insect will inevitably fall head over heels for such a male insect.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense. At this moment, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, all the female insects who were still conscious were staring at the little male insect with intense desire.

Why should I?!

Why is it that the sinister monster that crawled out of the "Black Prison," with its terrifyingly ugly and ferocious insect-like form, not only failed to frighten you, but was instead regarded as... a priceless treasure?!

She was touched?! Touched in such a dangerous area?!

Their... their insect forms are quite imposing! And very cool! Why don't you touch... no, why don't you come and "study" them?!

The gaze, almost solidifying into tangible resentment, was like countless tiny needles, densely piercing Morpheus's body.

Lancelot doesn't have the troubles of ordinary female insects. As a noble insect with the insect form of an orchid mantis, he was favored by the male insect lords in ancient times. Even though the male insect lords are filled with fear of female insects in their bones now, his insect form is undeniably beautiful and can crush all ugly insect races.

Although he was absolutely confident in his good looks, Lancelot couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. The little male insect was already quite eye-catching, and now he was even more coveted by these fairies outside!

It should be noted that those present today are all powerful insect beings from various fields, including many aristocratic families that are on par with the Mantis Clan.

But the pink-haired female insect, consumed by jealousy, wiped the blood from her cheek, tossed her hair, and her sharp violet eyes, as if coated with poison, glared fiercely around, asserting her dominance. She glared at those males who still coveted her, making them feel guilty and dare not raise their heads again.

The post-war celebrations quickly turned into nothing more than the little male insects chattering in admiration of the monster.

However, this temporary harmonious atmosphere was shattered by a trembling voice filled with extreme fear.

"Your Excellency Marshal! Your Excellency Male Insect!"

She was a combat academy instructor and also the captain of the guard team responsible for the celebration in cooperation with the student council. The female soldier, who was always known for her iron-blooded fortitude and strict adherence to rules, was now pale and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. Surrounded by a group of equally ashen-faced academy executives, she staggered over.

He disregarded etiquette and knelt heavily before Klein and Su Tang with a thud. Behind him, the usually high-ranking school board members and directors also knelt down in unison, as if their spines had been removed.

"Marshal, I am utterly incompetent! I deserve to die!"

The instructor's voice was hoarse and trembling with despair as his forehead slammed heavily against the cold alloy floor, making a dull thud.

"A major security breach has occurred at the celebration! This has allowed terrorists to infiltrate and release a large-scale nerve gas attack! There are numerous casualties on site! Many female insects' mental seas are suffering severe damage and are on the verge of collapse! We urgently need... we urgently need male insect hormones to stabilize them!"

He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with pleading, looking at Klein, but more than anything, almost all his hope was placed on the small figure in front of Klein who was enthusiastically "studying" the jaws of the terrifying behemoth.

"Your Excellency Su Tang!" Another distinguished school board member, with graying hair, kowtowed heavily, tears streaming down his face. "The academy... is guilty beyond redemption! But... but those injured students and guests, they are the cornerstones of the empire! We beg Your Excellency... we beg Your Excellency, for the sake of our fellow insectoid brethren... to lend a helping hand! Save them! The entire academy... is willing to pay any price! We only ask Your Excellency to bestow upon us the Male Insect Essence!"

"Please, Your Excellency, have mercy!"

"Please save them!"

"We'll agree to any conditions!"

A chorus of sorrowful and desperate pleas rose and fell, like heavy boulders crashing onto the ground, which had just become somewhat eerie because of Su Tang's actions.

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly heavy.

Klein's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. His icy blue eyes swept over the kneeling academy leaders, then looked towards the distant, temporary resettlement area, where groans of pain and uncontrolled fluctuations of mental energy emanated.

The situation is indeed urgent and serious.

But that doesn't mean they can use these reasons to force their male offspring.

Lancelot, on the other hand, was even more direct, unleashing a torrent of curses: "A bunch of old geezers, who are you trying to morally blackmail!"

These old fogies just want to use the banner of "for the future of the entire Zerg" to force their darlings to release male insect hormones to cure these mentally rioting guys, because they see their male master as innocent, kind, and generous.

Leaving aside whether their own male lord could handle such a massive scale, there wasn't just one male insect, Su Tang, present; wasn't there another one over there?

Lancelot pursed his lips and glanced at the makeshift medical station in the stands diagonally behind him.

To ensure safety and to take into account the male insect's mental health, only one male insect lay on the entire platform, covered by Freya's white coat, all the way to his head, with only a tuft of golden hair peeking out from the collar, making him look from a distance like a corpse covered by a white cloth.

With the male's orders, Freya will definitely ensure the male's safety. It's just that the useless fellow fainted from fright; he's certainly not as brave and lively as his master.

But no matter what, it was a male insect in the academy, at the scene of the accident. Wouldn't they have gone to shake him awake and let him release his male insect hormones to treat the brain damage of these idiots?

The pink-haired female insect thought maliciously that it would be best to scare him to death, so he wouldn't always follow Su Tang around like a shadow, which was so annoying.

But he was only thinking about it. After all, in terms of both acceptance of female insects and the strength and concentration of male insect hormones, Su Tang was the best choice at the moment.

Moreover, the previous performance of the male lord has been witnessed by too many insects, and the video of the military academy's opening ceremony has also been leaked. They must all be very clear about the power of their male lord.

Lancelot was still very worried. This time, unlike the previous auditorium, the venue was open, and the insects that had been infected were all celebrities from all walks of life. The youngest of them was much older than him, and their mental state was not comparable to that of the military academy students.

There were even some elderly people with gray hair whose mental wells were probably almost completely rotten. In this situation, relying on Su Tang's male insect essence to treat them was simply a pipe dream.

Besides, what does the future of the empire have to do with them? Lancelot didn't want his male insect to take any risks.

If they were to force their young master to do these things, he wouldn't mind a fight to the death.

The pink-haired female insect, whose wounds had not yet healed, wiped away a trickle of blood from her mouth. Her violet eyes swept viciously over each insect that appeared to be kneeling and pleading, but in reality, they were using the righteous cause to coerce their male lord into being roasted on the fire.

Klein and the other insects had obviously thought of this as well, and their expressions became serious. They gradually moved closer to their male lord to prevent any accidents from happening.

A second war seemed imminent.

All eyes were focused on Su Tang. This gentleman's male insect essence was the only lifeline that could quickly stabilize the large amount of mental energy on the verge of collapse.

Su Tang was standing on tiptoe, her little hand still lingering on the smooth area inside Morpheus's jaw, feeling the strange pulse.

Hearing the sudden cries and pleas, he paused for a moment, then turned his head in confusion.

Seeing the academy's higher-ups kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, looking at their faces filled with a mixture of despair, fear, and the last glimmer of hope in their eyes, and listening to the painful groans and howls coming from afar...

Su Tang's mind started racing.

Huh, what's going on?

Are these guys begging me?

opportunity!

A tremendous opportunity!

Isn't this exactly the classic trope he's always dreamed of: the villain oppressing the entire world?!

That's how it's portrayed on TV!

When the insects were in dire straits, the villain proposed the most humiliating and painful conditions for all of them. In order to survive, these righteous insects or cannon fodder road insects had no choice but to submit to the villain's tyranny... Hehe!

The confusion in his large, amber eyes quickly faded, and a sly glint appeared in them.

Su Tang's heart pounded with excitement.

He abruptly withdrew his small hand from Morpheus's jaw, straightened his back, and tried to imitate the domineering and life-and-death posture of the villain in his memory.

He cleared his throat, raised his chin slightly, and tried to make his voice sound authoritative:

"Hmph!"

The crisp, clear "humph" instantly attracted the attention of all the insects, including Morpheus, the monster whose body was stiff and immersed in the sensation of "the male insect touched me." Its huge, scarlet eye turned around and blinked with a hint of confusion.

"Now you know to ask for a copy of 'Lord of Shadows'?"

"Huh? The Shadow King?" An old female insect with gray hair was stunned.

"You have a problem with that!?"

Su Tang raised her tail hook and glared at him like a bristling feather. The old female insect quickly shook her head and said repeatedly, "I dare not, I dare not."

The little male scorpion then proudly wagged its tail. Actually, he only came up with this nickname after hearing the light bulb scorpion call Morpheus something like "Shadow Spider."

Compared to titles like "Chitanghui Gang Leader" or "Great Demon King," "Shadow King" sounds much more impressive, doesn't it?

Su Tang put her hands on her hips, trying to project an imposing aura. Her amber eyes widened as she scanned the kneeling academy leaders, her small face trying to contort into an "evil" expression.

"What were your guards doing just now? They couldn't even stop a few bad guys! They forced my... uh, my 'little pet' to come out and fight!" He pointed to the huge Morpheus next to him.

"Yes, yes, yes! Your subordinate deserves to die! The guards are incompetent! Please punish them, Your Excellency!" The group of female insects kowtowed even louder.

"Punishment?" Su Tang imitated the villain from TV, drawing out her words as her little mind raced. "Punishment is definitely necessary! We'll talk about that later..."

He paused deliberately, looking at the tense, almost suffocating expressions on the faces of the higher-ups below, and felt extremely smug.

Little Nose Ga took its short legs and, under the tense gaze of the other insects, trotted over to one of Morpheus's giant legs.

The foot was like a thick black stone pillar, with a terrifying hook-shaped blade at the end of the foot deeply embedded in the ground.

Su Tang stretched out her small hand and patted the side of the cold, hard foot blade.

"See that?" he shouted, trying to make his voice carry throughout the room.

"This is my 'Shadow Lord's' pet and mount—'Abyssal Spider' Morpheus!"

He hastily gave Morpheus what he thought was an incredibly cool nickname: "That's the one that just tore apart those scum who dared to offend this king!"

Morpheus's massive body trembled very slightly once more. Its crimson single eye followed the male insect's movement, slowly turning to land on the small figure standing at its feet, struggling to puff out its little chest.

"You want my male insect essence to save your insects?" Su Tang's voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable "threat." "Fine!"

The eyes of the high-ranking officials kneeling on the ground instantly blazed with intense hope!

"But!" Su Tang's tone shifted abruptly, a wicked yet smug smile spreading across her face, her amber eyes sparkling. "This great king has a condition!"
