1139 17.66 Fourth Violet Star - The Sky turned dark followed by Lightning and Thunder.
Yara von Chrysalis eventually left his family's Edge Star and went into s.p.a.ce on Reine's back. Yara von Chrysalis, whose body is still deemed mortal, was able to travel through s.p.a.ce even without the stars.h.i.+p thanks to Reine's protection. They are currently on their way to the Imperium Star to track down the Grand Marshal who departed before them.
Meanwhile, in the Abandoned Star, where the Experiment Laboratory was housed under the Nova...
The enormous coc.o.o.n that encased Crown Prince Cain Nova von Imperlian was throbbing with light. The alterations in the coc.o.o.n drew everyone's attention in the laboratory.
An old scientist remarked, "Ah. Ah. Hatching. It's finally hatching. The Crown Prince is awake! Hahaha~ The Experiment to merge the bloodline of the Mystical Clan with the human bloodline is a success!"
"Patriarch Nova, Congratulations!"
"Congratulations! We finally have a Mystical Descendant in the Nova Clan!"
"This is amazing! Truly fascinating!"
"Look. Look. A hand comes out of the Coc.o.o.n but what is that black layer? There is another Chrysalis inside the white Coc.o.o.n?"
Everyone sees Cain Nova von Imperlian emerge from the Coc.o.o.n and discovers that, in addition to the Sticky Coc.o.o.n, they knew there was another Chrysalis inside the aforementioned coc.o.o.n. b.u.t.terflies, on the other hand, only have one Chrysalis when they pupate, but Moths have two layers, a Sticky Coc.o.o.n and a Chrysalis. b.u.t.terflies' wings are usually folded vertically up over their backs. Moths hold their wings in a tent-like posture, concealing the abdomen. b.u.t.terflies often have bigger wings with more vivid designs. Moths are usually smaller and have drab-colored wings. Most scientists see Cain Nova von Imperlian emerging out the coc.o.o.n with a tent-like brownish pair of wings.
"My Dear Grandson! You've been through a lot. Don't worry, Grandfather made you stronger, you won't be bullied at home anymore."
The Nova Clan's Old Patriarch approached his grandson and hugged him. Cain's appearance hasn't changed much, save for his blue eyes, which have become fully black at this point. His irises and pupils, however, were the same hue.
Cain Nova von Imperlian tilted his head as if he couldn't recognize his grandfather and said, "G-Grandfather?"
"That's right. It's Grandfather! Haha~ Good Child!!" Patriarch Nova said as he chuckled.
He considered himself fortunate that his son did not despise him for using him as an Experimental Subject without his permission. He was so pleased about the good experiment that he didn't notice the strangeness of the other persons in the laboratory. The scientist's unusual silence and surprised look were combined with horror.
The Old Patriarch of Nova Clan asked when he noticed the awkwardness in the lab. "Everyone, what's wrong?"
A trembling voice reaches his ears saying, "W-Why...? b.u.t.terflies aren't supposed to possess Tent-like gloomy colored wings!"
"H-His Highness... His eyes... He... He. It turned completely black including his p-pupil."
"So is the experiment a success or not?!"
"Wait! I heard... Interstellar Moth Clan is all... Carnivorous!!!"
Cain Nova von Imperlian bit the Old Patriarch's neck, quickly murdering him, as if making that scientist's words a reality. Blood shoots like a fountain from the bitten neck section, and the sound of raw meat and bone being eaten reverberate throughout the s.p.a.ce. Only the Crown Prince, who was colored in blood, appeared to be delighted, as if he had discovered something delectable during his hungry condition. Crunches~ munches! Chew~
"YOU!?"
When the Old Patriarch of Nova turns around, he sees his grandson's monster countenance eating on his own meat with a joyful look, and he dies with that image being the last thing he sees. He felt guilt and rage for failing his life's experiment and dying without accomplis.h.i.+ng anything. He was filled with remorse till the end of his life. THUD! This is the sound of the Old Patriarch's body dropping to the ground. Cain Nova von Imperlian squats and eats his Grandfather's body as if it were a delicacy.
"Um~ it was delicious at first but it got a bit chewy. Is it because this prey is a bit old? gulps*" mumbled the Crown Prince. Or should we say the monster that controls the body of Cain Nova von Imperlian?
Only when he lifted his head to gaze at the other people in the room and smiled evilly did the others awaken from their stupor, and terror quickly engulfed their hearts. n.o.body could tell who was the first to shout. "AHHH!! RUN IT'S A MONSTER!!!"
However, the remainder of the individuals in the laboratory had fled as a result of this cry. Cain Nova von Imperlian extended his wings and pursued those meals that was fleeing from him. The laboratory was in a state of madness. After all, none of these scientists intended to build a monster from that husk, which they all a.s.sumed was the residual skin of a Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan. They were given a Moth Clan instead of a b.u.t.terfly.
This Moth Clan on this Interstellar world is regarded as a unique old creature. The b.u.t.terfly Clan slaughtered them owing to their murderous character. They will even devour one another if there is no more food available. They were regarded giant pests in the interplanetary globe and were even dreaded by the Zerg Race owing to their voracious appet.i.te.
"Hahaha~ there is more food~~," Cain Nova von Imperlian said as he chased after all the humans in the laboratory. They had all ended up in his stomach after his rebirth.
In the bas.e.m.e.nt laboratory, a stream of blood, flesh, and bones emerged. Cain Nova von Imperlian, who had transformed into a monstrous moth, had slaughtered all living beings in the Abandoned Star. The one who had allowed him to life is a greedy ent.i.ty, and therefore he inherited the same traits as its creator. Uncontrollable hunger, such that you wouldn't feel satisfied even if you ate the entire world.
Cain Nova von Imperlian completely wrecked the subterranean laboratory and even ate that abandoned world while floating aimlessly in the cosmos. His flat tummy rumbled. Even consuming the Abandoned Star, as well as the planet itself, didn't satisfy his desire. As he is still a human, he has developed into something resembling a pseudo-world eater.
Cain Nova von Imperlian mumbled, "Not enough. I am still hungry~" then he disappeared in thin air and no one knew where he had disappeared.

On the Imperium Star...
The war is still going on, but the Human Race is winning. Only the Honeybee Zerg Queen remains of the six Royal-ranked Zergs; the other five were slain by Adjutant Kir von Giselle, Dean Frey von Gregory, and Jace Green von Imperlian's Rozen. Even still, the humans do not believe they are winning because of the existence of the masked man known as Chaos.
Dean Frey von Gregory was preoccupied with curing his lover's madness. Despite the fact that they were initially G.o.ds, the vessel they were in was not. So disease, mental illness, and other conditions can afflict individuals even if they do not die. The impact is genuine. Dean Frey can only enter Adjutant Kir von Giselle's soul sphere to rouse him up since he is suffering from Mental Contamination.
This procedure takes some time. As a result, when the Adjutant awoke, they missed a few scenes. They did detect the decreasing aura of one of the final two SSS-ranked Zergs, however. Meanwhile, Silvan von Rosegard and the others were relieved to see Adjutant Kir von Giselle awake.
Dean Frey asked worriedly, "How are you feeling? Drink a Healing Potion just to be sure."
Adjutant Kir drinks the potion his lover placed near his mouth and the dizziness and fatigue in his body and soul diminished. Then he looked up in the sky and commented,
"Only one Royal-ranked Zerg remains. Who killed the Wasp Zerg King?" He asked.
Dean Frey von Gregory answered, "The friend of Lord Yara."
"No wonder. We should kill the last Zerg Royalty. Only then can we focus on the man who is wearing a mask." Adjutant Kir von Giselle said as he slowly stood up and prepared for battle.
What occurred next, on the other hand, was unexpected. The last Royal-ranking Zerg perished. No, it's more accurate to say he was murdered.
09:31
The Wasp King Zerg perished under the rain of thorns from the Sentient Rose Plant, Rozen, just minutes after Adjutant Kir von Giselle awoke from his mental distortion. The spectacle of the Wasp Zerg King's disfigured body filled with holes falling from the sky was observed and cheered upon by the whole human species. This implies there is just one Royal-ranked Zerg remaining in the sky. The amount of low-leveled Zergs has significantly dropped, and primarily honey bee-shaped Zergs remain. They exterminated the others.
"Only one. Just one last more!! We can do it!! Survive. We can survive!!!" The humans collectively said with tears in their eyes.
The Honey Bee Zerg Queen flew towards the masked man while her eyes were filled with rage and sadness. The scene of her Pair's death is too overwhelming for her.
"Shrieks~ L-Lord. Help. Last. Time. Kill. Kill. All. Them!!" The Honey Bee Zerg Queen said. But the man seems to be bluntly ignoring her as he enjoys a cup of his tea. The drink in it was strawberry mint milk tea.
"My. Lord?" The Honey Bee Zerg Queen calls. She currently looks like a lady abandoned by the world.
On the other hand, the Second Prince poured cold water on them and said, "Not yet. The war is not over yet. There is still that man. The man with the black mask."
Everyone's eyes awoke from their enthusiasm and turned to gaze at the man sitting casually on the clouds with a cup of tea in his hand. A cheeky smirk hung from the corner of his thin lips, but the depths of his eyes were filled with contempt and hatred. He appears to be bored right now.
Chaos whispered, "Boring~"
SHRIEKS~ BANG!
The Zerg near him burst with a single wave of his hand. Everyone had seen his casual action, but it was lethal, as it killed the Honey Bee Zerg Queen without a trace.
Everyone was astonished and speechless. The low-level Zergs who would disperse blindly once their King and Queen were killed all died instantly. They murdered themselves, as if terrified by the aura Chaos had emitted. Chaos spoke as if he were speaking to his pals. His tone is warm, as if he were speaking to an old friend.
"I truly wasted my time. What could you have expected of the bugs? Even giving the brains wasn't enough. How useless~"
"I'm bored too. What can I even do with playing with ants? You understand what I mean right? This Lord had no time to play with you. I had enough right now. So why don't you guys just all die?~"
The man with the mask eventually rose up from his chair. He gently fell from the sky, with a small cloud functioning as his stairwell at each step. Everyone was horrified as they watched him fall.
The Second Prince shouted, "Re... RETREAT! ALL OF YOU RETREAT!!!"
Everyone on the front lines was forced to return to the main palace. They couldn't sit motionless waiting for him to descend down to where they were since they knew the wooden fortress couldn't stop him. The Second Prince and the rest of the human race's leaders all ordered a retreat. Chaos grinned as he saw everyone scurrying away from him as if he were a virus.
"Hahaha~ this scene doesn't look that bad~ I wonder if you can outrun the thunder I am going to summon."
Chaos snapped his fingers and lifted his hand. He didn't need to say anything; all he needed was a thought. With his finger cracking as a catalyst, the sky abruptly darkened as the clouds went gloomy, with thunder and traces of lightning visible above their heads, and only a handful knew what it was.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle was so shocked that his eyes widened and mumbled in disbelief, "Tribulation Thunder and Clouds. How is it possible for him to control the world to this extent!?"
"Run back to the Castle. Marigold and Banyan Tree dragged as many humans as you could. We can at least erect a barrier around the Castle to block those deadly lightning!" Dean Frey von Gregory commanded.
Those with strength and swiftness save whoever they can. They are only able to return to the Imperial Palace. Dean Frey and Adjutant Kir's barrier will be their final hope of survival. If even that barrier couldn't keep the lightning from striking... They have no choice except to embrace death.
