Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1485: Empress Garde 2

Alice raised her arms high, and waves of fire and lava kept surging around her. In the lava lake in front of her, the giant life that had strode out of the crystal pillar finally revealed its full appearance. It was almost as tall as a building. The triangular bug's head was a human-like body, and it was also a female body. At least, the two proud peaks on its chest were the most obvious signs. However, its body was wrapped in a crimson insect shell, and even those two peaks were no exception. Adding on its terrifying head, it no longer had the ability to attract people's imagination. Beneath the two peaks was a segmental abdomen. Its waist was very thin, and beneath it were two anti-articulated limbs, like the hind limbs of a locust that had been magnified countless times. Strangely, it had a pair of slender humanoid arms, and its ten slender fingers were moving nimbly. Six wings spread out behind it. The translucent wings looked like cicada wings. Under the wings, three pairs of opposite feet of insects extended out. The tips of the opposite feet were all bright red rhombus-shaped crystals. As for the back, a scorpion-like nodal tail hung down. From time to time, the tail stirred up magma, causing bursts of flames and heat waves.

"Queen Garde, my true body. It's time for us to reappear as the commanders of the Black Gate. So accept my return!" Alice opened the box and took out the silver heart. She opened her mouth, and a silver light flowed through her heart, separating into mercury-like substances that flew into Alice's mouth. When the heart disappeared from her hand, Alice closed her mouth, and a silver line appeared from her neck, extending down to her chest. Following that, a strong heartbeat sounded from the platform. With the platform as the starting point, the magma in the lake spread out in all directions like a tide. The clothes on Alice's body suddenly exploded, turning into thousands of butterflies, igniting one after another, turning into ashes and landing at her feet. She was naked, exposing the perfect curve to the air. Alice opened her arms, and the giant creature's segmental abdomen opened one by one, revealing a cavity inside. A dozen wriggling tentacles emerged from the cavity. They crossed space and wrapped around Alice's arms, legs, and waist. Then, they lifted Alice up and pulled her back into the empty wrist. Alice leisurely turned around in midair, her hands slowly retracted and placed in front of her chest. She smiled and entered the giant insect's abdominal cavity before closing the segmental shell one by one.

After closing her belly armor, Alice was sent up through a special passage. There was a hollow space in the chest of the giant bug. Alice rose from a mass of things that looked like a biological cushion, and something that looked like a vine stretched out from the surroundings. These are the nerves of living things, they cover Alice's body, and they drill down from her skin. Alice closed her eyes and heard an emotionless voice in her mind, "Neural connection initialized."

Then a light appeared in the dim world, and Alice's consciousness swam towards it. When she entered, it was as if she had entered a tunnel of light. She felt as if she had risen. In the end, it was as if she had broken through the surface of the water. She opened her eyes and saw the lava lake and platform. She also saw the entire volcano hall.

"Neural connection complete." The voice said.

Alice raised her hand, but what she saw was not her sparkling and translucent arms, but her long hands wrapped in the shell of the insect. She had already merged with the giant insect. A lot of information flowed through her mind, and if Alan could flip through it, he would definitely be shocked. Because Alice had made reservations about her heart, the heart that Sbernak had stolen should be the engine of Queen Garde's life. Alice, on the other hand, was the vessel of the heart and the "brain" of Queen Garde. When she returned to the giant bug's body, it was when the biological weapon that had existed for a long time, Empress Garde, awoke again.

Her full name should be Alice Garde!

Empress Garde strode in the direction of the lakeside. She raised her long legs and stepped onto the lakeside. Magma kept flowing from the outer shell of its legs. He looked around, raised his arms, and spat out from the worm's mouth, "This planet has gone against the original intention of its creator. Now, in the name of the commander of the Black Gate, I order you to awaken from your long slumber, my swarm of bees! It is time to wash this planet!"

Rings of invisible fluctuations emitted from Queen Garde's body. A moment later, the vines that fell from the dome of the hall began to descend. They drilled into the moss on the ground, flickering regularly with red light. The moss likewise blossomed with a warm light, and a dense energy aura began to surge. They were poured along the moss into the spherical moss clusters, which began to tremble after a moment. A snort came from one of the moss balls. The moss balls split open, and a worm limb drilled out of it, followed by a second. Then, the insect's limbs stretched out to both sides, tearing apart the surface of the mossy ball and crawling out a round insect. When it came out, it used its insect limbs to tear off the shell of the mossy ball and put it into its mouth to chew.

More and more of these larvae began to crawl out of the moss ball.

Outside the volcano hall, the hills of various sizes were trembling violently. Large amounts of sand and stones were continuously flowing down, revealing the things inside that were glittering with a dark red halo. The hot wind blew away the dust on the surface of these things. It turned out that there were also clusters of red moss in balls hiding in the hills. Looking around, the Canon Black Gate was filled with moss like this. Each moss ball contained a single larva, and the number of larvae in the Black Gate would be a million!

By this time, the first larvae in the volcano hall had eaten up all the moss. The red moss was rich in energy, and it was the first delicious meal for the larvae to wake up. After storing enough energy, all of them entered a static state, as if they were dead. A moment later, cracking sounds began to ring out. Some of the insects' backs began to crack, and from within they crawled out pale red colored bees. These giant bees, evolved from larvae, play the role of workers in the swarm. They first eat their shedding shells and then fly out of the hall.

Very few larvae evolved into larger dark red colossal bees with six wings and swollen bellies. These giant bees can't fly, their six wings can only support them as they sweep through the air. These are not worker bees, but queen bees and swarm producers. They each occupied a corner of the volcano's main hall. The closer they got to Queen Garde, the higher their status in the swarm would be, and the more resources they would receive.

A swarm of bees quietly awoke from the depths of the Forgotten Realm, behind the Canon Black Gate, before many of the creatures on Agares could detect it.

At the same time, there was an army on earth ready to leave.

Adahua Planet's army.

On the plaza of Dawn Base, the Federation soldiers formed two square formations and were holding a grand farewell ceremony. This time, Adahua Planet had invested a total of 300,000 troops in order to control Nelm's space fleet together with Sirius' main force. Otherwise, the war on the surface would be extremely strenuous, and it would not even last until Mo Suo was in a hurry, forcing the people of Nelm to retreat.

As the guard of honor played a loud tune, Federal President Robert Morbit and Duke Gulliver of Adahua Planet walked out of the main gate of the command building side by side. Behind them were the important officials of the Federation and Adahua Planet. Originally, it should be Capulo behind Mobius. But now that Capullo had seceded from the Union, Windsor Belo, who was ranked at the bottom, had replaced him. The young woman, Marshal, was now walking behind Mobius, and from the other side, it could be seen that Marshal Greed was already a big shot. However, behind Windsor Belo was only Hillfa, and the others were Lieutenant General, Major General, and the others. Fendi was already dead, while Russen and Merin were in other galaxies, making the team look like stars were withered. However, Mobbit had already decided to make Catherine and Mirren the new Federation Admirals. Both of them had demonstrated their strength in the past battles, and this promotion was truly worthy of their fame.

The two teams stopped in front of a starship. This starship was less than a hundred meters long, so it was naturally not Grand Duke Gulliver's seating ship, but only a landing ship that had entered the planet's interior. In fact, Adahua Planet's fleet was in full gear outside space, waiting for the return of the Grand Duke.

"Send it here." Grand Duke Gulliver smiled and said to Mobius, "I wish you peace and eternity. The earth will be full of ruins. If there is anything you need, President Mobius can ask for help. We will help the earth recover its vitality as soon as possible."

Mobbit nodded and said, "I am very grateful for Adahua Planet's support. How can I trouble you again?"

"Don't say that. His Majesty said that everyone is part of the alliance, so we should naturally help each other."

After the two of them said a few more polite words, Archduke Gulliver brought his team into the starship. Mobie waved his hand, and the sound of cannons rang out from both sides of the square. Amidst the gunfire, the landing ship began to fly into the air. After turning around in midair, it turned into a streak of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

On a screen, Capullo also saw the starship take off. The former Commonwealth Marshal was biting a cigar with an indifferent expression.

"The people of Adahua Planet will leave Earth today, and Mobius will definitely make a move next. Capuluo Yuan... Oh, my lord. Then what are your plans, Sir Capuluo?"

A voice sounded from behind Capulo. The old lion grinned, put down the snow box, turned his chair, and looked at the two figures sitting on the other side. The two of them weren't unfamiliar faces, but Wigg of the Smith Family and Maine of the Alexandrian Family!
