Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

The screen suddenly lit up.

On a desolate planet—the Silverfish Galaxy—countless crustacean creatures wriggle and crawl, then fight each other.

This is the world of Coleoptera, a race that survives on instinct.

[Taizyuros, also known as the 'Insect King' or 'Sand King,' is the creator of global locust plagues.]

As the last member of the Coleoptera that ruled the earth, a solitary yearning ignited His destiny.

Fast forward—the massacre.

Endless slaughter.

The root of this massacre is a complex tragedy.

According to records, the leader of the Eledishina star system was bewitched by the delirious words of the "End" star god, the Last King, and conquered the Lizard system, using the existing insects as weapons of war.

Meanwhile, the leader of another group of bounty hunters, drawn by the abundance of insectoid ecosystems and a desire to compile an insectoid atlas, also came to the Silverfish System to hunt extensively.

Two groups, the military and bounty hunters, went on a killing spree in the Lizard system, which escalated into a full-blown conflict.

Flames descended from the sky, casting enormous shadows across the land.

One by one, the Coleoptera that once ruled the land fell and died.

In the end, only one remained.

A lone insect huddled among the corpses of its companions.

[The survivors of the massive massacre in the Silverfish Galaxy, the last remaining offspring of the Coleoptera.]

In endless loneliness and hatred, He embarked on the path of "procreation" and ascended to the throne of God.

In the image, the lone insect begins to glow. The light grows brighter and more blinding, until it finally explodes into countless fragments.

Each fragment becomes a new insect.

One becomes two, two become four, four become eight.

Exponential proliferation.

[Taiziyuros has transformed into a terrifying self-replicating force, an endless, proliferating wasteland.]

[He—or rather—they roamed the realms until fate somehow halted His advance.]

In the scene, swarms of insects surge out of the Silverfish Galaxy like a tide, rushing towards nearby planets and into more distant star systems.

Those once-prosperous civilizations were reduced to desolate ruins after the swarm of insects swept away.

Screen switch.

A beautiful planet—Big Rapol—was once a trading hub for countless civilizations.

[During the Amber Period, 13XX, insect swarms began to appear across various parts of the planet Great Rapol.]

In the video, the cries of newborns echo through the hospital's delivery room.

[At the hospital on Mandalay Island, your ears are filled with the cacophony of cries… the number of newborns has reached an all-time high.]

In the video, the doctors and nurses are extremely busy, but they have smiles on their faces.

Newborns always bring hope.

This is true in every world.

But then the scene changes.

In the days that followed, they broke free of the isolated island, and "swarms of insects" began to appear in the skies across the planet Great Labour.

The doctors looked horrified; they realized something.

Those newborns are not human!

They rushed out of the hospital and flew into the sky.

They are insects!

They broke free of the isolated island.

The hospital's doors and windows were smashed, and countless tiny insects swarmed into the sky.

A survivor once recorded a scene of a global locust plague from his perspective.

You stand beneath the vast sky, surrounded by a scene of utter desolation.

[In the fields and along the roads around you, a vast array of strange insects are breeding and emerging from their cocoons.]

They devoured all food and life, until all paths of their journey were overwhelmed by their insect offspring!

The planets the insect swarms have traversed have all suffered war and hardship; earth and sea—nothing has escaped their clutches.

They disregard species and reproduce indiscriminately.

Reproductive isolation?

Ignoring it is too lenient a solution.

[The influence of the reproductive power makes newborns insectoid, fragmented inorganic matter insectoid, and even newly produced weapons insectoid.]

Fields were devoured by swarms of insects, turning them into wastelands; cities were covered by insect nests, turning them into ruins; and oceans were filled with insect corpses, turning them into stagnant water.

The entire world fell silent.

This Zerg seems even more outrageous than those in their world.

Extreme environments can also drive people to the brink of collapse.

On the planet Big Rapol, in a woman's room.

On the twenty-fourth night of the insect swarm's onset, she raised an insect that had crawled in through a broken window as her own child.

She poured her heart and soul into teaching it to walk, put on shoes, and even talk.

Seven days later, her house was filled with offspring... but not one of them could put shoes on for her.

Countless small shoes were scattered on the floor of the room.

Each one is small and neatly arranged.

But none of them had any insects on them.

In the corner, the woman huddled up, nervously rubbing her feet.

Meanwhile, the chaos was not over.

The scene changes again.

A group of bounty hunters stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"The blood of bounty hunters who follow different paths is not the same color!"

Someone shouted that.

However, as the image above zooms in, the blood on the ground appears to be only one color.

red.

It's not that bounty hunters with different fates have different blood colors, but rather that different species of insect swarms have different blood colors.

The hunters fought each other, their blades drawing blood, flames shooting into the sky.

They couldn't distinguish whether they were exterminating dissidents or their own people.

[Rumor has it that the bounty hunters who participated in the silverfish massacre have been cleaning the colored blood from their hands ever since.]

Finally, one of the hunters knelt on the ground, frantically rubbing his hands together.

His hands were stained with colorful blood, the blood of the insect swarm and the blood of his brethren.

What? You don't understand what's going on?

[This is so annoying, your IQs are so low, you can't even understand this?]

"?!"

Those who didn't understand immediately turned pale.

Why are you swearing at me?!

Are you polite?

…………

The camera focuses on a giant stinging insect.

That was a mature individual of the swarm, and it was flapping its wings at that moment.

The rustling sound of wing powder filling the air creates a slight hallucination.

Golden wing powder drifted in the air, as beautiful as a dream.

[Insect powder has hallucinogenic effects, which is likely one of the reasons why people cannot distinguish between humans and insects.]

The scene then cuts back to the group of bounty hunters.

A hunter raises his gun, aiming it at his lover.

A strange smile played on her lover's face.

“Shoot,” she said. “I used insect powder. I’m not myself anymore.”

The hunter's hands were trembling.

He didn't know if the lover in front of him was still the same lover.

As the swarm expanded, they soon encountered a worthy adversary.

The swarm has already covered half the galaxy.

Suddenly, a massive black hole appeared in the center of the swarm.

[Oboros, the Gluttonous Star God—an insatiable devourer, a thinking black hole]

It appeared before Taizyuros.

The two star gods faced off in the void. On one side was an endless swarm of insects, and on the other was a black hole that devoured everything.

Then, they collided.
