Chapter 427: Chapter 427 World Level
The so-called queen is the mother bug in this ‘Infant Brain Worm Swarm’

At present, Han Dong has a grip on her head, holding an infant arm, preventing her from using a certain ‘Burrow’ ability.

The wings on her back, sharp as a knife edge, have been sealed by the yellow sand.

And a tail, lined with serrated blades, was instantly pinned down by bone spurs shot by a young zombie in the team.

The most dangerous part of these brain-fluid collecting insects is the ‘Brain’.

This mother bug’s brain has two properties.

‘Infant Nether Hand’

The baby arms growing on her head can ‘snatch away’ matter instantaneously through touch, ‘snatch away’ the earth as well, enabling the mother bug to easily complete the burrow, concealing herself to hunt for food.

‘Brain Waves’

Not only is it a visual shock, but because of the frequent use of the brain fluid from various living beings, the mother bug’s brain can project invasive brain waves at any living being, directly influencing at the Brain Domain level.

With these two properties.

The queen brain bug can cause the target individual to stagnate for a period of time, and instantaneously hollow out all the matter in their body.

However, this move failed in front of Han Dong.

“You… are not affected by me?!”

Upon discovering that Han Dong is unaffected, the mother bug is a little panicked.

Moreover, Han Dong’s left arm, which is intimately shaking hands with her, is embellished with magic patterns from Ancient Egypt on the surface, preventing the mother bug from ‘plundering’ Han Dong’s left arm.

“In your body… there is… a Deep-sea Diver!!”

The mother brain bug later, by using brainwaves to penetrate Han Dong’s body, observes a small pink octopus moving around inside Han Dong, and instantly understands why he is not affected by the brain waves.

The mother bug turned pale with fright.

Even though she has the blood of the ‘Mum God’ in her body, it is only a very diluted progeny blood.

In terms of level, she simply cannot be compared to the Deep-sea Diver.

The next second.

Squeak!

A tentacle directly penetrated the mother bug’s skull.

“Mythical Energy +6”

For a while, the worker bugs that had survived in the church hall region lost all ability to move because the queen had died.

The first omen of the church region thus comes to an end.

“Relieve these common folk of their suffering… their bodies have been implanted with worm eggs. Even if we let them go home, before long, they will turn into the same disgusting worm swarm.

Moreover, their inner hearts have already collapsed completely during the collection process. They thirst for death more than anyone else.”

Han Dong looked at the common people who were fixed on the benches by various lines, the pleading look in their eyes was exactly the same as that of a blonde youth named Anthony he met in the supermarket restroom before.

Due to the impossibility of any survival, under the endless torment, death is the only way to be relieved.

In this kind of worldview, common people are so powerless. One wrong step and they fall into the abyss forever, with no possibility of redemption.

The absolute terror and despair of being completely powerless, this is the core of the movie “Mist”, and of course, an important thought of the Cocker family culture.

The same is true in Han Dong’s world.

Humans as the first class of higher lifeforms on Earth with deductive and thinking abilities, many gradually view themselves as the eternal dominators of the ecosystem.

However… humans themselves are not perfect, they can even be said to be extremely weak.

When higher lifeforms are born, or when the earth’s original rulers awaken, humans will fall into a predicament in a short time.

…

Whilst the Zombie Corps were dealing with the common folk here.

Han Dong came to the front of the church hall, a round platform where brain essence was being gathered.

The helical-structured round platform transports all the collected brain essences into the depths of the church, offering them to the Lord Bishop.

At present, in the center of the platform, a plain sheet of paper was mixed in with the brain essence.

“You have acquired ‘Manuscript Six’”

The manuscript is only visible to Han Dong, even Nicole who is temporarily harboured in his body sees him absorbing some kind of nutrition… Even her direct peeping at Han Dong’s memory doesn’t reveal any information about the manuscript.

After picking up the manuscript.

Boom! The platform gives way, revealing stone stairs that lead to the depths of the church.

Just as Han Dong is about to call the Zombie Corps to continue deeper, he unexpectedly discovers that all of the zombies, led by the protagonist David, are eating ‘like crazy’.

Of course, their targets are not the common folk.

It is the worm eggs that were stuck on walls, corners, beams, and behind sculptures.

These larval egg bodies produced by the queen eating the brain fluid are, in fact, a very good supplement… they are emitting a kind of deliciousness that zombie individuals can’t resist.

The most important point is that by consuming the egg bodies, their consciousness can stabilize, and strengthen the control of the G-virus.

To keep the townsfolk’s mutation within a stable range, the fighting power of the whole army is stronger.

In that case, Han Dong might as well wait for everyone.

“By the way, what is the ‘Mum God’?”

During the waiting period, Han Dong asked Nicole in his body, since this kind of wording has already appeared twice.

“A ruler of the Bug Domain, also known as the Source of Insects… Many insect swarms have more or less connections with the Mum God, the two bugs we make contact with and killed, are just inferior species mixed with dilute Mum God blood.

But even inferior species, they are stronger than regular bug swarms, and have control and self-awareness.”

“Hearing what you said, the world on the other side of the [Gate] seems to be very big.”

“It is much larger than the human world, after all, there are many higher species in our place, unlike here where there are only humans.”

With Nicole’s explanation, Han Dong fell into deep thought.

Anyhow.

No matter if it is the human world of “Mist”, or the world of monsters on the other side of the [Gate], they are classified under Fate Space…

However, between worlds, there should be a difference in hierarchy.

Just as during the last “Strange Tales” event, the Abyss Butcher with Hell attributes, unexpectedly had a connection with the true Hell World.

Apparently, [World-Hell] is of higher level than [World-Strange Tales], but both have the possibility to interconnect.

“The other side of the gate that was opened by the mysterious cult in ‘Mist’, maybe it corresponds to a [World-Void] that is equivalent to Hell, a higher world that I need to reach the Knight Stage to touch.

In there exists something that I am currently unable to confront, but also hides incomparably precious treasures and opportunities.

Just like Captain Marlon spent many years in [World-Hell], experiencing all kinds of hardships before becoming the Hell Demon King.

In [World-Void], there might also be similar possibilities, to complete certain challenges and trials to become like the ‘Mum God’, a mythical existence.

Is this the true goal of Fate Space?

It is not just about giving us humans opportunities to resist Life outside the city.

It is more about giving us a ‘path’ that can completely transform and evolve, to become a super higher species.”

Upon thinking of this, Han Dong’s lips curved up slightly…
