Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 202: Bai Yan, I’m Actually Very Disappointed in You

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Bai Yan, I’m Actually Very Disappointed in You

The dense swarm of Devouring Ants emerged from underground.

Whether minerals, plants, or buildings, they were all hollowed out by the Devouring Ants.

Thousands upon thousands of holes spread everywhere, and everything the Devouring Ants climbed over became fragile, as if weathered for a century—one light tremor would reduce it to dust.

Bai Yan’s gaze fell upon the skeletal remains, covered in blood and riddled with insect holes, of nine other families under the attack of the Devouring Ants.

While her six still-alive Beast Husbands writhed on the ground, faces twisted in pain.

The Insect Brain whispered: [Even if they could protect you—which they can’t—if they knew that their current agony came from the Star-breaking Pill you fed them...]

The Insect Brain: [Do you think... they would still shield you?]

Bai Yan furiously questioned: [When you pretended to be the system and supplied me with Star-breaking Pills back then, you had calculated all of this!]

The Insect Brain responded mockingly.

The Insect Brain: [According to the memories I received, none of this was a mistake—you and Insect Brain 1.0 planned it all.]

The Insect Brain: [We merely supplied the drugs; the decision to use them was entirely yours.]

The Insect Brain: [When you first asked for two Star-breaking Pills, it was you personally who made the request to Insect Brain 1.0.]

The Insect Brain sneered: [If I recall correctly, Insect Brain 1.0 advised against it at the time.]

Bai Yan broke down: [But from the start, it was all of you misleading me!]

Bai Yan shouted angrily: [What "this world is a novel," what "I’m the female protagonist," what "script"!]

These pieces of information had all been provided by the Insect Brain from the beginning.

The Insect Brain had posed as the system to deliver them to her.

However, upon hearing her interrogation, the Insect Brain chuckled in self-satisfaction: [Thanks for the compliment—your unwavering belief proves that Insect Brain 1.0’s storytelling abilities are exceptional.] freēnovelkiss.com

Its tone delivered a heavy blow to Bai Yan.

Jin Ao opened his pain-filled eyes and noticed Bai Yan slumped on the ground, face ashen and lifeless.

He reached out and crawled arduously toward Bai Yan: "Xiao... Xiao Yan, don’t be afraid."

"Jin Ao!" Bai Yan snapped alert.

She stumbled toward Jin Ao, noticing her remaining Beast Husbands writhing in agony, controlled by the Star-breaking Pills.

Bai Yan roared in fury: [The antidote—give me the antidote for the Star-breaking Pills!]

Bai Yan: [Didn’t you say before that the Star-breaking Pills have an antidote?]

The Insect Brain chuckled lightly: [Oh, there is an antidote—the problem is, why would I give it to you?]

Bai Yan’s face darkened: [I still have points—my points are enough to redeem it.]

The Insect Brain sneered: [Madam, you should’ve realized—I am a fake system.]

The Insect Brain: [Do you think the points store of a fake system can grant you redemption?]

The Insect Brain: [You must understand—you are now faced with a choice.]

The Insect Brain: [Will you fight against my mighty Insect Clan as a life form from Mist Continent?]

The Insect Brain: [Or will you submit to us and seek a way out?]

Bai Yan hesitated.

The Terminal revealed the traitor of Mist Continent.

Previously, both she and Kong Chengrui suspected that the traitor was Xiao Jinsheng.

But after recognizing the Insect Brain’s true identity—at this moment, Bai Yan could no longer deceive herself.

The traitor the Terminal referred to was very likely herself—the one bound to the Insect Brain.

Bai Yan’s gaze fell upon Jin Ao, his face darkened, his skin violently convulsing as if soft insects were burrowing beneath it.

She tightly embraced Jin Ao and questioned the Insect Brain: [Is it I who will survive, or can we all survive together?]

The Insect Brain: [If you join us, naturally you can all survive.]

As the Insect Brain spoke, its disdainful gaze fell upon Jin Ao and the others.

It said: [Bai Yan, honestly, I am disappointed in you.]

The Insect Brain: [Humans always crave those insignificant emotions. We chose you instead of Xiao Jinsheng because you are different.]

The Insect Brain: [If you stand with us, what are men worth? Power is what you should pursue—Sea of Star Map is what you should conquer.]

The Insect Brain: [You want to save them? I understand, but I don’t agree.]

The Insect Brain: [Save them once, and you’ll compromise again, and again... endlessly.]

The Insect Brain: [At this critical moment, your Beast Husbands will only drag you down and become leverage for us to threaten you.]

Bai Yan fumed in exasperation: [Boasting so much—aren’t you afraid I might change my mind!]

The Insect Brain mocked: [Because you have no choice.]

Bai Yan trembled with anger and shouted: [I surrender to you—give me the antidote to the Star-breaking Pills, now!]

The Insect Brain: [Pleasure doing business.]

A box emerged through a black whirlpool and landed before Bai Yan.

The Insect Brain laughed: [I look forward to the day when you willingly join my clan.]

The Insect Brain: [Your Beast Husbands are lucky—this is the latest research from the Interstellar World Federation. Once consumed, not only will the side effects of the Star-breaking Pills be removed, but their Superpower Levels will reach 13 Stars instantly.]

Bai Yan frowned: [Isn’t the highest star level Twelve Stars?]

The Insect Brain sneered: [Based on our clan’s data across the interstellar regions, the highest Superpower Level of different worlds is Twenty Four Stars.]

The Insect Brain: [Mist Continent caps at Twelve Stars thanks to your beloved Terminal.]

The Insect Brain: [Curious about what the Terminal did? Ask your Beast Husband Ying Fei.]

The Insect Brain added shamelessly: [Of course, this info only came to me upon our clan’s arrival at Mist Continent—your trusty Terminal is quite amusing indeed.]

Bai Yan listened as her chest tightened.

She held the drug supplied by the Insect Brain.

It consisted of vials filled with blue liquid.

Having been deceived by the Insect Brain countless times, Bai Yan was hesitant to trust the medication now in her hand.

Yet the agonized and weak cries of Jin Ao and the others echoed unceasingly in her ears.

Resolutely, she steeled herself.

The current situation left no other viable paths—whether she used the supposed cure or not, death seemed inevitable; she might as well risk it all.

Gripping the vial, her gaze swept across her six remaining Beast Husbands.

Finally, she took one vial and walked toward Qing Zelin.

Bai Yan picked Qing Zelin up and poured the cold liquid into his mouth.

As he tasted the sweet substance, the pain brought by the Star-breaking Pills began to subside.

Momentarily regaining clarity, Qing Zelin glanced at Bai Yan without a word before gulping the rest of the vial’s contents.

But shortly after the liquid entered his stomach, Qing Zelin pushed Bai Yan away and vomited violently onto the ground.

Bai Yan screamed in terror: [You’ve tricked me again—this isn’t the antidote!]

The Insect Brain sighed: [Why are you panicking? Take a closer look before you speak.]

Amid the green puddle Qing Zelin vomited, a thumb-sized brown soft worm was crawling.

After purging, Qing Zelin’s previously dark face returned to normal.

The Insect Brain: [Star-breaking Pills plant Star Worms into Beastified Humans. These worms help absorb energy from different worlds to enhance their superpowers, at the cost of the Beastman’s life.]

The Insect Brain: [To counteract this, a specific drug can extract the Star Worms, forcing them out.]

Now, Bai Yan no longer blindly trusted the Insect Brain.

She sorted through the Insect Brain’s logic based on real circumstances to determine whether its statement this time was credible.
