Chapter 1292: Chapter 1278: Mother-Daughter Reunion Chapter 1292: Chapter 1278: Mother-Daughter Reunion “Although that’s the case, it’s just a tougher sandbag after all.”

After admiring the crater below rapidly regenerating, Muria regained his composure because it couldn’t pose a threat to him. If the queen entrenched within the Insect Nest couldn’t produce an effective means of attack, then forcibly bombarding the Insect Nest Planet with brute force was merely a matter of time.

“Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?”

As soon as Muria finished his inquiry, the mass of flesh proliferating at high speed within the crater beneath his feet suddenly deformed. A huge bud appeared, bright and tender, blossoming right under his feet.

Unlike common flower buds, this one was fleshy and of an unimaginably large size; each petal measured thousands of kilometers in length.

And at the heart of it was a cavity embedded with a blue crystal, pulsing with majestic currents of energy. At that moment, the cavity had already been rapidly filled with solidified energy, overflowing at a rate that even epics would struggle to keep up with, and the target was Muria.

“What a waste!”

Dazzled by this sudden attack from the Insect Queen, Muria could only manage a sigh before the energy burst from within the flower bud engulfed him.

The surging torrents of energy, after submerging Muria, spread across millions of kilometers in the Void, before gradually showing signs of dissipating, yet still retained their potent destructive power.

This was a devastating attack launched with all the might of an epic Insect Queen in control of the Insect Nest, a saturating attack method that didn’t care about the consumption at all,
Such an assault even elicited exclamations of amazement from the two Dragon Kings observing the battle nearby—they marveled at the wealth of this Insect Queen, who could lavish such a prodigal attack. Because, in a way, this attack was like throwing money at her target.

“It seems this Insect Queen is quite wealthy,” said the Golden Dragon Mother, her eyes shining as she watched the energy current that continued to surge forth. She showed no concern for Muria, who was engulfed by it, not worried about his safety in the slightest.

“I don’t know about being without money, but her energy reserves are indeed vast,” commented Dimos, expressing his amazement much like his daughter. Even though he could no longer sense his grandson’s aura, he showed no intention of intervening.

But in reality, the reactions of these two Dragon Kings were quite normal since one could see a blinding point of radiant golden light within the striking cobalt torrent of energy in the Void. Even the intense blue brightness couldn’t obscure its luster.

Then, this point of golden light expanded rapidly, unstoppable within the torrent, flowing against the unremitting stream of energy, and finally struck at the center of the tender flower bud.

Boom!

The Insect Planet shook once more, and the energy current ceased abruptly. The vibrant flower bud was blown open from its core, causing countless massive fissures to appear on the Insect Nest star.

Ah!!!

Amidst this roar, a scream rose—one so piercing that not even the violent boom could drown it out, filled with unstoppable rage and reluctance.

“What’s all the screaming for? Your true body isn’t even harmed; the one in pain is me.”

A disgruntled voice echoed through the Void; Muria, his body emitting wisps of smoke, looked down at the waning star below. His armor, the Saintly Imperial Abyss, was glowing red-hot, with many parts partially melted.

The recent attack had been mostly blocked by the Saintly Imperial Abyss, but Muria himself had to bear the damage it couldn’t prevent, resulting in his body being injured.

“Why are you still alive?” A wave of mental power, tinged with confusion and surprise, emanated from within the Insect Nest Planet. The queen was somewhat at a loss to understand Muria’s current state.

According to the Insect Queen’s assessment, her strike, had it not killed this Void Overlord, should have at least injured him enough to reduce his fighting capabilities.

But judging by the current outcome, her recent costly attack was essentially futile; it didn’t affect him in the slightest. Indeed, the overlord was hurt, but to an epic, his injuries were as trivial as a scrape.

“What a strange question you ask. Whom do you hope to kill with such an attack?”

A big question mark appeared above Muria’s head, not understanding why the Insect Queen would think such a flamboyant assault could take down an epic. It reflected a lack of common sense.

“I clearly remember using such an attack to hunt down several Void Beasts, so why are you completely unharmed?” The Insect Queen’s mumbling echoed in Muria’s head, filled with incomprehension.

Muria listened to the conflicted queen’s voice for a while, then filtered out everything and ignored it altogether, instead beginning to command his minions to clear away the guarding Legion around the Insect Nest.

It seemed the Insect Queen had no intention of coming out of her nest to face him in direct confrontation. So he would weaken her forces in the safest and most secure manner, step by step.

To directly punch through her Insect Nest and rush to the core to drag the Insect Queen out… forget it. While such an approach might be wild and straightforward, it was too foolish.

…

“Hmm, Father, if I remember correctly, the Insect Queen claimed to be called Dream Palace just now!” The Golden Dragon Mother, finding it somewhat tedious as Muria commanded his Subordinate Army to systematically eliminate the queen’s Insect Army, spoke to the seriously watching Dimos.

“That’s correct. Is there a problem?” Dimos was somewhat puzzled by his daughter’s query. An epic could easily recount every detail of their life from birth.

“It seems I haven’t remembered wrong, which is good.”

Golden Dragon Mother flashed a sly smile that made Dimos’s eyelid twitch uncontrollably. Once his daughter showed such a grin, it usually meant trouble—fortunately, this time, the smile wasn’t aimed at him.

“Father, do you remember the Insect Queen you gave me?”

“What about it?”

“While I was interrogating her, I happened to learn that her mother is called Dream Palace.”

“Such a coincidence!” Dimos said with a chuckle.

“Yes, a massive coincidence. But it’s quite nice; it adds a certain flair to this otherwise dull war.”

“What are you planning?” Dimos asked cautiously, eying his daughter.

“Just planning to do a good deed.”

“Heh,” Dimos laughed.

“Come out, my little handmaid!”

Golden Dragon Mother didn’t care about her father’s gaze. She extended her claws, tore open a space rift, and then dragged out an Insect Queen dressed as a female servant, her face wearing a look of bewilderment.

“You’re overdoing it.” Dimos rolled his eyes, having a rough idea of what his daughter wanted to do, but he had no intention of stopping her.

In Elasia, he could transform into the epitome of righteousness, a divine avenger against evil, as the Dragon King. But in the Void, he was the epitome of unscrupulousness in the pursuit of victory.

“How am I overdoing it? I’m simply facilitating a reunion between mother and daughter,” Golden Dragon Mother defended herself, feeling she was a graceful and noble, benevolent Dragon Queen.

“Where am I?”

Meanwhile, Altis, the Insect Queen suddenly pulled from her Semi Plane by Golden Dragon Mother, took a moment to register her surroundings, quickly understanding where she was. Meanwhile, the familiar, overwhelming presence nearby excited her immensely.

“Mother!”

The moment she sensed her mother’s presence, the highly intelligent and powerful Insect Queen immediately fantasized about her mother going to great lengths to rescue her, compelling the evil overlord who had captured her to release her—a touching tale.

But the next moment, Altis, having realized what was happening in the Void, was devastated. She saw the Insect Nest being seemingly thrashed by an evil overlord, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face—the disparity between imagination and reality was simply too great.

“Crying already? Your will is quite fragile! And I haven’t even started.” Golden Dragon Mother, holding the Insect Queen, shook her slightly, with surprise in her dragon eyes.

“But it doesn’t matter. Crying isn’t bad; it’ll probably provoke your mother even more. I just wonder if it will cause her to act irrationally.”

Golden Dragon Mother sighed sincerely, and her words prompted Altis to quickly wipe away her tears, trying not to be a burden to her mother.

…

“Altis!”

Even ordinary people could see the psychic storm erupting from the Insect Planet with their eyes. Within the storm, a furious voice bellowed.

In an instant, the battle beast legion unleashed by Muria suffered heavy casualties. One after another, the beasts bred for slaughter had their heads burst open amidst the psychic storm, and they fell as headless corpses from the sky.

“Damn it!”

Muria’s face darkened as nearly a million minions were wiped out in a flash. He withdrew those whose strength fell below legendary level and then, with his legendary minions, moved away from the storm’s path.

Though he could withstand the psychic storm, there was no need to endure it unnecessarily; he did not have a perverse love for pain.

“You bastards, return my daughter to me!”

A psychic force materialized above the Insect Nest Planet, forming an avatar of a majestic female thousands of feet tall. In a rage, she roared at Muria and the two Dragon Kings behind him.

“What a waste of effort!”

Understanding the sudden fury of the Insect Queen, who seemed to have been diligently defending and apparently buying time for something, Muria muttered and then, drawing the Seven Sins Blade, he struck towards the giant construct of psychic power representing the Insect Queen.

“If you want to see your daughter, surrender now, and you will be reunited with her in the shortest time.”
