Chapter 400: Volitional Representation

The moment he came into contact with the Empress' will, however, it was enough for Alan to understand a lot. In fact, some adventurers had occasionally discovered the base long before Allen. However, without exception, they were all food for the Empress to fill in her genetic flaws. Otherwise, the Empress would not have survived until now. josei


In the past ten years, the helpless Empress had even begun to devour her descendants. This was also the reason why the Faceless did not dare to approach this underground region.


The arrival of Allen and the others undoubtedly gave the Empress new hope. Thus, it ordered the Faceless to force the people who entered the base onto its dining table. But now, the Empress found that the food was much harder to eat than she had expected.


Allen said again, "Although all life has the right to pursue freedom, the Empress' freedom is the extinction of all things. She is not an opponent like Black Iron Castle that can live in temporary peace because of certain interests. She will not compromise and will only turn this planet into its nest. So …"


"The Empress will die!"


Alan rushed forward with his saber and joined the battle again.


Lucy looked at the rampaging monster and shook her head. "Perhaps my ancestors shouldn't have created such a thing."


This sentence just happened to float into Garner's ears. Garner was shocked and couldn't help but look at the girl. Lucy, on the other hand, had already rushed towards the Empress, leaving Garner with a weak back. Garner's heart stirred up. He thought that Alan and the others only knew a little more. Unexpectedly, the monster in front of him was actually created by Lucy's ancestors. In this way, the identities of Allen and the others became even more mysterious in his eyes.


However, there was no time for Garner to think about it, and a roar from the Empress could be heard from the battlefield. Its body seemed to be enduring unimaginable pain, and it was twitching violently. The Empress' roar was also from high to sorrowful. Before everyone could understand what was happening, the Queen's body suddenly trembled. The Silver Winged Killer first emerged from a wound, as if he was flying far away, as if he was running away from something terrifying.


Following that, black shadows shot out from the empress' broken body, making a muffled sound like cannonballs, scattering all around the battlefield. One of them landed not far from the fire. It was an ugly ball of meat. Just as he was wriggling, a short black thorn suddenly popped out from inside. The thorn pulled open the outer wall of the meat/ball and a pitch-black insect emerged from inside.


The bug was like a miniature queen, and even its head had a picture of a little woman's face on it. The only difference was that this miniature version of the Queen's body was intact without a single scar. After it drilled out of the wrapped meat/ball, its jaws opened and it swiftly swam with Tang Ji, who was closest to it. Tang Ji's expression changed as he slashed out his saber. However, the insect nimbly moved horizontally, avoiding the saber and bouncing towards Tang Ji's face door with its claws on the ground.


Tang Mo twisted his long saber beside him, and the saber light flickered, shattering the insect into pieces in the air. Tang Jicai heaved a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the sound of a hundred feet rushing from the ground reminded everyone that the Empress had spat out more than one piece of meat.


The bugs that emerged from the meat pouch were each the size of a palm. They were like the Empress' avatars, sweeping across the ground like a tidal wave, swimming towards the crowd. As a result, the crowd no longer had time to pay attention to the Empress and fell into a situation of fighting on their own.


Garner was hacking out a bloody sword light, shattering several insects. Just as his heart skipped a beat, he heard a scream. The voice was extremely familiar. Garner's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he suddenly looked towards where Red Leaf was. Under the flash of fire, the light on the slope swayed and a figure pounced out. Garner could no longer see if it was a red leaf, because the figure's entire body was covered in the Empress' avatar. Garner shouted and rushed forward with his sword.


The sword light swept away quite a few of the insects, revealing a bloody red leaf. That sexy and charming woman was already on the verge of death, and her body was riddled with holes from being bitten by the Empress' avatar. Her image was horrible. She looked at Garner reluctantly and smiled bitterly, "Kill me, boss!"


Garner clenched her teeth and finally closed her eyes. A sword pierced into Red Leaf's chest, ending her life. The moment Red Leaf died, the insects seemed to be uninterested in the corpses and retreated like a tide. How could Garner spare them? He immediately cried out in sorrow, his huge sword dancing like the wind as he strangled the crawling insects.


Qianjun swept his gaze around, and the flames on the heavy saber were like dragons, repelling the insects on the ground. Alan glanced back and saw that the Silver Winged Killer beside Lucy had transformed into a few wheel saws, circling around the girl and strangling the insects that dared to approach her. Seeing that Lucy was fine for a moment, Alan swept his gaze over the others. Edward and the other masters were fine, and the Malithan youth covered himself with a curtain of wind, isolating the insects around him. Belmond's figure flickered, and he didn't stay in a single place for more than a second. The insect simply couldn't keep up with his movement speed. Regis was the most tyrannical. He neither defended nor dodged, directly pulling out sword lights to run through the insect tide. As they came and went, they plowed through the swarm of insects with wounds.


As for the Tang brothers and Garner, the situation wasn't so optimistic. Under the attack of the insects, they even had problems defending. Looking at the Empress, the giant insect's body began to twitch again, as if it was creating a second avatar. Alan let out a muffled harrumph, and the lines on the prairie blade lit up. Every time the lines lit up, Alan's aura increased by a point.


When the lines lit up, Allen's aura was as fiery and domineering as fire. The Empress immediately noticed him. Alan raised his saber and charged forward, enveloping him like a flaming aura. In the Empress' consciousness, it was like a meteor flying towards him. With the Empress' consciousness, an undercurrent immediately appeared in the tide of insects. The undercurrent rushed towards Alan, and hundreds of insects opened their jaws and spat out fine water arrows from their mouths.


No matter how thin the water arrows were, when hundreds of them were fired together, they were still quite spectacular. Even if these water arrows were combined, they were not as powerful as the poisonous water column that the Empress had spat out earlier. Unless Alan stopped and changed directions, he would definitely be hit.


However, not only did Alan not dodge the water curtain, he also increased his speed. The Origin Energy surged, transforming into a circle of true flames that wrapped around him and collided head-on like a meteor. This greatly exceeded the Empress's expectations. Ellen's response was against the instincts of living things. However, the Empress did not understand. Sometimes, she could not rely entirely on her instincts. In life, there are qualities such as courage and hard work.


As for biological weapons, they would follow their instinctive ice-cold actions. This was the difference between life and weapons!


When the poisonous water landed on the fire screen, it was partially evaporated. The rest landed on Allen's body. First, it was bounced off by the Origin Energy that covered his entire body. Only then could the rest exert the corrosive effect. In an instant, a gap appeared on Allen's clothes. As for the skin beneath him, it was also charred black. Alan gritted his teeth, and another blaze rose beneath his feet, burning all the remaining poison on his body clean, and at the same time, burning his skin to a blister.


However, he rushed past the water curtain and tore open a path of blood in the tide of insects like a dragon leaving a stream.


If he charged another hundred meters, there would be no more obstacles between Alan and the Empress.


The flames on the Thousand Average Saber suddenly disappeared completely. If the time could be slowed down tens of thousands of times, it would be discovered that the flames did not disappear, but had instead been gathered into the Thousand Average Saber. The flames were extinguished, but Qianjun's blade was filled with surging flame power. As Alan waved his arm, seven interlocking orange rays of light sealed the Empress' head.


Flame Flash Seven Kills!


The Empress opened her jaws wide and suddenly let out a sharp howl that sounded as if it was real. The howl pierced through the Golden Crack Stone and pierced into Yan Shan's Seven Kills. The seven flames immediately condensed. This was enough time for the Empress to move her head. Then, the Seven Kills Formation entered the insect's body and dug out large chunks of flesh and blood.


The insect screamed miserably. Almost half of its body had been taken out by Alan, and its blood sprayed out endlessly. Alan also felt uncomfortable. The sound column broke through the formation and smashed heavily into his chest. The collision caused him to spit out blood, and Qian Jun flew out of his hand.


Alan had only just fallen to the ground when countless insects flew up to him. They screamed and wanted to bite Alan into pieces, but a bloody light shot into the sky, as if it wanted to tear through the darkness and declare its existence to all living beings. A murderous aura that was so intense that it could not be replicated spilled out like boiling lava. Those insects that were too close to the bloody light didn't even receive any attacks, but were shocked to death by the violent killing intent.


Instantly, the bug lay down, and Alan bounced up from the center of the bug corpse. There was already a pitch black heavy sniper in his hand. The golden horn under the heavy sniper was like the fangs of an ancient ferocious beast. It actually emitted a desire to kill.


Most of this will fell on the Empress. From this, the big bug knew that the first target of that thing was him.


Alan looked at the Anthem of Destruction with a strange expression. This Origin Tool was the same as the one he had displayed in front of Windsor Belo the previous time. Suddenly, he had a strong will. However, last time, the will of the Origin Tool was suppressed by Windsor Belo. This time, however, there was no more suppression from Marshal Greed. The Origin Tool was constantly calling Alan, as if a devil was roaring in his ears.


All the roars gathered into one will: "Kill it!"


Alan snorted and said indifferently, "As you wish."


The roar turned into cheers. Alan could clearly feel that the blood essence stored in the Origin Tool's gem was turning into a huge amount of energy that was constantly filling the heavy sniper. After responding to the call of the Origin Tool, the Annihilation Heavy Sniper happily borrowed more power, forming a terrifying destructive storm within the Heavy Sniper.


The lines on the heavy sniper quickly lit up, and the surging energy almost escaped uncontrollably. Aside from being shocked, Alan didn't forget to point the heavy sniper in the direction of the Empress. Suddenly, a pitch-black cross-shaped star opened. Alan pressed down the trigger and poured out a huge amount of energy from the heavy sniper. It turned into a streak of blood-colored lightning that tore through the space!
