"It’s all settled." Chichu Chun hoisted the Matrix Pulverization Cannon on her shoulder and looked upward.

"Well done," Xu Xiaoyou said.

"This guy was even weaker than I thought, couldn’t even resist my pheromones."

Chichu Chun poked the corpse of Zhongyue.

"The High-level Insect Race also has various tiers. Compared to the Forbidden Guards around the Insect Emperor, heh."

"Oh, by the way," the mention of Forbidden Guards reminded Xu Xiaoyou of something, "do you know ’Solomon’?"

Chichu Chun paused, and a tall figure immediately surfaced in her mind.

"The Forbidden Guard Captain, Pope, Commander-in-Chief of the War Zone. Why would you know that name, You?"

Xu Xiaoyou briefly recounted to Chichu Chun the events from decades ago regarding the Life Staff.

"Life Daylight, tsk."

Chichu Chun frowned, her tone indignant,

"I once naively had filters for these big corporations."

"Birds of a feather, one day I’ll overthrow them all."

Xu Xiaoyou opened her mouth, but eventually shook her head without saying anything.

"This world needs change, but not now."

Recalling matters related to Solomon, before opening up a sub-network, Chichu Chun’s consciousness was deeply immersed in the consciousness network of the Eight-Spider Insect Mother, naturally receiving fragmented memories about Solomon.

"That guy is strong, second among insects under one, among countless insects on top, the top enforcer for the Eight-Spider Nest Mother, specifically cleaning up rebellious individuals. To some extent, he represents the will of the Eight-Spider Nest Mother herself."

She had never truly confronted Solomon, but during the process of opening the sub-network, his phantom descended into her Sea of Consciousness; similar to the automatic alert mechanism of the Insect Race’s network. Even just the phantom, and even just gazing from the far side of the Sea of Consciousness, she could feel the suffocating strength emanating from him.

Unquestionable, unprovocable, unsurpassable—that was her first impression of him.

Unlike the eerie serenity when facing the Nest Mother, the intense killing intent and pressure from him almost drove her senseless, fleeing in the opposite direction of survival.

When she came to her senses, she had broken free from all shackles, welcoming a new birth in a bramble field that belonged solely to her.

"Very strong, how strong exactly?"

"In the battle between the Crimson Dancer and the Eight-Spider Nest Mother, Solomon was a participant," Chichu Chun said.

Xu Xiaoyou nodded.

"The Crimson Dancer, the absolute representative of old era battle strength, still unsurpassed today, battle capability above all, indescribable strength."

The Eight Spider Curved Jade granted her the ability to not be affected by ’calamity,’ independent of balance, with no taboos.

Spider Gu Fang blessed her to pierce through all calamity and evil in the world.

Angry Spider Face allowed her appearance to change endlessly, her presence undetectable, her actions unfathomable.

Capable of single-handedly chasing four Prism Tier Cleaners, and indirectly causing the deaths of Curved Moon and Rocky Mountain, to this day, no one knows to what extent she grew by devouring.

Without a doubt, the resurrection of the Eight-Spider Nest Mother will be a catastrophe of this era, a truly World-Ending Level disaster.

The only World-Ending Level tale, formed from the deepest primal emotion in the human heart—fear—condensed into a god.

This battle, Chichu Heaven must win.

No matter the sacrifice or cost.

She needs to be more wary of this Solomon.

"Most soldiers have landed successfully, Miss Xu."

The words in the communication channel interrupted Xu Xiaoyou’s thoughts.

Chichu Qiu spoke, looking up at the screen as blue dots gradually emerged; these represented the squad beacon signals.

"Hmm, I will continue to observe."

"Highest command, converge at point one!"

"Understood!"

The officers’ responses echoed one after another.

After the highest command was given, it was executed by officers at various levels with more detailed instructions.

In a certain dense forest, Xiaoliu’s parachute was caught in the tree branches, attempting to detach the chest harness hook while brandishing a dagger to hack at surrounding branches.

"This guy, truly shameful."

Several soldiers who had already landed looked up, saying coldly.

"Private Xiaoliu, what are you doing!"

Lieutenant and instructor Jishilin yelled at Xiaoliu.

"Reporting, my parachute got stuck, currently detaching the hook!" Xiaoliu responded loudly.

A few comrades nearby couldn’t help but laugh, Freya couldn’t stand it, pushed them aside and went forward, quickly climbing the tree to help Xiaoliu with the hook.

The girl’s awkward movements made the two seem flustered, with occasionally breaking branches destabilizing Freya, almost making her fall. Xiaoliu decisively gave up the hook to reach out and grab the girl. This scene made even more laughter from below, eventually drawing the angry rebuke from instructor Jishilin.

He flung his military cap, striding over to the soldier laughing hardest, glaring as if copper bells.

"What are you laughing at!"

The soldier lowered his head without speaking.

"What are you laughing at! I’m asking you, are your ears deaf?"

Seeing no response, Jishilin roared.

"This is the battlefield, dangers could arise at any moment, with the possibility of Insect Race lying hidden in this forest. Your comrade encounters trouble, even this young girl knows to move forward and help, yet you laugh, I’m truly ashamed of you!"

"Now go help him immediately!"

"Understood."

Several soldiers rushed forward, some hacking at branches, others helping with the hook, eventually one sturdy soldier catching the falling two.

After simple formation reorganization, a silent atmosphere permeated the group.

The rustling around the bushes kept their nerves tense, fearing that a few predators might suddenly spring out, tear them apart.

Jishilin coldly scrutinized them, minutes passed by, and the prolonged tension made several soldiers unstable, their faces growing pale.

Jishilin no longer spoke, gestured for everyone to move out.

Relief swept over them, they shrunk their shoulders following behind Jishilin hacking the path with a machete.

Before landing, he had scouted this forest, with no signs of Insect Race life, and at least three squads nearby, capable of immediate support if ambushed.

Seeing the dirt-faced Xiaoliu, Freya raised her head, came to the boy’s side and harshly twisted his arm. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Xiaoliu winced in pain, turned his head, Freya ignored him, walked past him, moving ahead.

The squad continued to advance north, crossed the dense forest, soon saw point one, where massive troops appeared below.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, tension easing, thinking they were safe, foliage atop a soldier rustled, red light shone.

"Ah!"

A gruesome scream rang out.

Everyone turned at the sound, shock and fear filled their eyes, only to see a comrade’s neck pierced by the fangs of a spider-like shadow, lifted up, followed by gruesome cracking bones and chewing sounds; this very person once chatted with Lin Yu on the transport aircraft.

In the darkness, the blond girl’s fingers tapped the table, calmly watching this scene.

She couldn’t let any unstable elements go.

"By the way, hadn’t their memories been erased?" Chichu Chun said, landing lightly on the ground.

They naturally referred to Xiaoliu and Freya.

"No, I let them ’know’," Xu Xiaoyou said.

"Ha, isn’t this cheating?"

"A certain intuition," Xu Xiaoyou chuckled, "consider it my bad taste."
