Chapter 113.1: Can You Do the Same, Justice?! (1)
Deep Tundra.
On the ground that was burned by the blazing sun, the bone-chilling coldness turned into a fatal heat. At that moment, an army of Black Catastrophe troops was crossing the burning charred ground and returning to the crystal ark.
This was the last high-level army that remained in the tundra.
They had received orders to retrieve a critical item.
However, as they were returning to the base after completing their mission...
A dimensional rift suddenly opened up in the distance.
Thereafter, layers of gigantic formations appeared above their heads and the forbidden curse began.
Lightning, storms, flames and the divine authority of a demigod transformed into various materialized elements that danced wildly on the charred ground. Among them were even a few innocent wanderers that were accidentally kicked out of the dimensional rift.
After the series of magnificent explosions by the spells...
The Black Catastrophe army had already vanished.
There were only burning craters on the ground and some residue that had almost fused with the charred ground.
Rayne and Edaline walked out of the dimensional rift.
"Sigh..."
After extinguishing the spells in the skies, Edaline looked sickly and listless.
Noticing the abnormality in Edaline, Rayne asked, "You're not feeling well?" The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
"Yes... a little."
Ever since she came out of the crystal ark, Edaline felt exhausted and weak. Even when she blew things up, it no longer felt the same as before.
"It's normal. You've just completed the operation and theoretically, you should be under the control of the crystal ark by now and become its silicon-based puppet... However, you've gained your own consciousness and severed that connection. It's normal for your body to take a period of time to adapt."
Rayne said, "Therefore, it's fine if you just get some rest at home during this period of time, Little Eda. Also, you don't have to worry if the grand prince makes any moves recently."
Edaline said, "Got it..."
She decided to heed Rayne's suggestion.
A month had passed and it was almost time for Edaline's break to end.
If she wanted to continue staying in the capital, she would have to discuss it with the next Imperial Guard in line for a break.
After her was... Beth, right?
Alright, time to contact her.
...
After speaking to Edaline, Rayne walked into the ruins that were bombarded by the forbidden curse and searched for something silently.
"Rayne, what are you looking for?"
Edaline asked, "Tell me and I'll help you look for it."
Rayne nodded. "A black jade stone. You've seen it before."
Edaline said, "Oh, that thing..."
Instantly, Edaline scanned the entire place with her perception.
Thereafter, silver-white crystals grew from a charred corpse and a black ancient jade was raised.
Destiny Jade.
Or rather, it was the egg of the bug queen.
As an organism that had evolved to perfection, this could be considered as an innate talent for the bugs of the fourth era.
As the most important queen bugs, their chances of being born in the swarm were extremely slim. Therefore, the queen bugs had to protect themselves better.
Each time they were killed, they could be reborn from the corpse and absorb the experience of the death to adjust and evolve their bodies.
Furthermore, even if they encountered some terrifying crushing power and suffered a completely destructive blow...
