Chapter 211 Global Locust Plague
Chapter 211 Global Locust Plague
"In short, that's roughly how things are."
Eve helplessly spread her hands.
"Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore." Black Tower shook his head and changed the subject.
"I invited you here today so that you could experience my newly developed simulated universe."
"The name is—Global Locust Plague."
"A global locust plague?" Eve frowned slightly.
"This name reminds me of the Procreation Star God, Taizyuros."
She had seen it in the train's think tank before.
Taizyuros, the last of the Coleoptera that ruled the earth, was driven by a lonely yearning that ignited his destiny.
He became a self-replicating terror, an endless, proliferating tidal wave. He—or rather—they roamed the realms until fate somehow halted his advance.
"That's right, this name is a reference to the catastrophe that swept across the entire universe, the Universal Locust Plague."
Black Tower snapped his fingers, and the surrounding environment began to change drastically.
The perspective shifted from the endless starry sky to two spaceships that blotted out the sun.
The Black Tower's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"On a spaceship from Elidishna, a monarch gazed at the parasitic star in the star system, his eyes filled with joy. Then, he found his navigator and confided a secret to him."
"Now, he can only retain three days' worth of memories, so he hopes that the navigator will reiterate to him every three days the prophecy from the Last King that has just been deciphered."
"Meanwhile, on the bounty hunters' ship, a blond-haired hunter leader was calming the crew, claiming that the trip to the Silverfish Galaxy was only to compile an insect encyclopedia, which put everyone at ease."
"But what the crew did not know was that this leader had decided to go to the Lizard system because he had received a nightmarish revelation, just like the monarch of Elidishna."
The perspective shifted again as the Black Tower spoke.
A small, grayish-brown planet appeared before Eve's eyes.
"One side was driven by the desire for conquest, while the other side was perhaps after insect resources. In the blink of an eye, the two different forces that arrived on the Parasite Star began a brutal battle against the insects."
"The monarch ordered the army to modify the Starworms into war machines, while the bounty hunters activated the insect powder magic to make everyone on the battlefield indistinguishable from friend to foe."
Suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded.
"On the battlefield filled with slaughter and death, countless different kinds of insect swarms gave up fleeing and began to reproduce wildly, giving birth to countless new individuals in an instant."
"Until the last member of the beetle-like coleopteran soared into the sky amidst blood and fragments, yet another final utterance was fulfilled."
"The procreative star god, Taizyuros, has been born."
With a click, the camera finally focused on the birth of a giant insect.
That is the Star God of Procreation.
Taizyuros.
Black Tower's words did not stop.
"An unprecedented catastrophe descended upon the Silverfish Galaxy, which was dominated by insects. The Silverfish insect race suffered a massive massacre and was once on the verge of extinction. The last survivor of the Coleoptera ascended to godhood and then became a nightmare that swept across the entire universe."
"In this ancient 'global locust plague,' all things sought survival through prayer and struggle, and the path of 'reproduction' reached an unprecedented peak."
As the Black Tower's voice faded, the perspective shifted again, this time to a cosmic galaxy.
A massive swarm of insects, blotting out the sky, burst forth from the Silverfish Galaxy and swept across the entire universe.
"Looking back at the Amber Period: Faced with swarms of insects that blotted out the sky, life yielded to its most primal instincts—love, loneliness, the pain of survival, and the confusion of self. These existed in all individuals, becoming 'nourishment' for Taiziyuros and their offspring."
"The beginning and end of the global locust plague are as absurd as the birth and death of life: 'Procreation' Taizyuros ascended to godhood in solitude and hatred, only to fall amidst the siege of the gods. The plague subsided, and mortals perished."
"And as long as procreation continues, so too do calamities; mortals die and are reborn, the cycle of rebirth never ending."
"During the Amber Period 13XX, insect swarms began to appear on various parts of Big Rapol and soon after declared the world overrun, requesting interstellar support."
"The insect swarm has officially erupted, and the nightmare for all living beings, the 'Universal Locust Plague,' has begun. The insectoids endlessly erode everything they see in the universe."
"This is the whole story of the global locust plague."
After he finished speaking, the scene changed again, returning to the original endless starry sky.
“Taizyuros...” Eve was deeply shocked after watching the scene.
So this is how the Star Gods were born.
It is full of absurdity and the bizarre.
"So do you understand now? The Zerg Swarm was a terrifying catastrophe that swept across the entire universe, just like the Rupert Emperor War." The Great Black Tower reappeared in front of Eve.
“But I remember that the Star God of Procreation has fallen.” Eve thought back carefully.
“That’s right, He died in the War of the Gods.” Black Tower nodded.
"The global locust plague caused by the swarms of insects not only harms all living beings on Earth, but also has a detrimental impact on other destinies."
"He destroyed the 'order' of the universe, threatened the 'balance' of the world, and blocked the path of 'exploration'."
"Initially, the Star God of Order, Taiyi, extended an invitation to the Star God of Preservation, Kripper, hoping that Kripper would join forces with him to fight against Taizyuros, and Kripper ultimately agreed."
"The star god Aha, 'Joy,' found the star god Hipe, 'Harmony,' and Aha, along with Hipe and Archivist, participated in the War of the Gods to besiege and destroy Taizyuros, 'Breeding.'"
"Ultimately, 'Breeding' Taizyuros was killed by a combined force of many star gods, including 'Balance' Mutual, 'Preservation' Kripper, 'Pioneering' Akivili, 'Pleasure' Aha, and 'Harmony' Hipe."
"This unprecedented war of gods lasted for three Amber Ages." The Great Black Tower spread its arms, its eyes filled not only with the reverence due to the Star God, but also with a strong thirst for knowledge.
I'm really curious to know just how grand that epic battle of gods was back then.
This topic alone is enough for her to study an entire Amber Period.
"Huh? Three Amber Periods?" A question mark appeared above Eve's head.
“Speak like a human.” Eve rolled her eyes at the big black tower.
Black Tower coughed twice, "Ahem, Amber King killed Taizyuros with three hammer blows."
"This... is a bit too rough, isn't it?" Eve complained.
"Didn't you tell me to speak like a human being?" The Great Black Tower put his hands on his hips and looked at Eve with displeasure.
"Alternatively, it could be said that the Star Gods dismembered Taizyuros."
"This is a carnival feast."
The Great Black Tower suddenly changed its tone, which was now filled with absurdity.
"At the dinner table, [Harmony] took away the cluster concept of [Procreation], [Preservation] used the corpses of [Procreation] to build a wall, [Balance] obtained the brain of [Procreation] and permanently sealed it in His collection, [Exploration] and [Joy] walked hand in hand from the dinner table."
"As for [Order], oh, it has already become a dish on the table."
