Chapter 377 The Spider's Nest? The Beginning of Darkness
……
Meanwhile, in a world filled with purplish-black matter.
A three-meter-tall, slender, and incredibly long-armed tailless lizardman is wandering aimlessly in this world.
Yes, this lizardman is Malzahar, the former royal advisor and acting king of Icathia.
He was defeated by the Void Trinity and Morris seven months ago and fled here.
Although his injuries had healed somewhat after absorbing the life energy of several triangular bodies.
In this boundless chaotic world, finding the void energy he could absorb was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Therefore, he could not maintain his human form and could only appear in the form of a mutated Chaos Beast.
Due to the lack of energy, and the fact that his injury was caused by a virtual nuclear weapon, the wound is unlikely to heal in a short period of time.
Therefore, he never dared to set foot on the Void Continent again.
Of course, the real reason was that it was too difficult for him to find the Dark Abyss, the boundary wall that separated the Void Continent from the Chaos Realm.
Even if he fell into the Chaos Realm from the anti-space of the Void Continent.
However, once you enter the Chaos Realm, you will unilaterally lose contact with the Void Continent.
In other words, Malzahar has no way of returning to the Void Continent from the anti-space where he fell into the Chaos Realm.
That's why he wanders aimlessly through this world.
Because he has no void energy to absorb, he cannot return to human form.
If he cannot return to human form, he will be unable to connect to his own sea of consciousness (the dark dimension).
Without accessing the sea of consciousness, one cannot use the Void Engine or connect to the Valor.
Without the advanced technology of Icathia, he couldn't directly pinpoint the location of the Void Continent.
In this vicious cycle, Malzahar had nothing to do but wander around searching for the triangular prism.
Just as he was wandering through this purplish-black world with a feeling of near despair, he suddenly sensed a large amount of life energy reacting in the distance!
Marzaha was overjoyed and quickly sped up to fly towards the location radiating life energy.
He hoped he would encounter the Triangle Tribe so he could have a good time.
Even if it doesn't completely heal his injured body, it would be great if it could at least reduce his mutation and allow him to return to human form.
After flying at high speed for several hours, Malzahar finally realized something was wrong!
Because there was so much life energy, far beyond his imagination!
At that moment, Malzahar became afraid and immediately stopped moving forward.
Indeed, Malzahar already possessed the body of a Chaos Beast, and his physical strength was comparable to that of a true Void Protoss.
But he knew all too well that there was a very terrifying race in this chaotic realm, and that was—the Void Devouring Insects!
They are pure-blooded void creatures truly born in the chaotic realm!
It is an incredibly terrifying existence!
Because those worms, like the ultimate fear, can devour everything to promote their own evolution!
Even a false god as powerful as Malzahar wouldn't dare to provoke a swarm of Void Worms all at once!
Especially now that he is injured, he is struggling with his wounds and desperately needs energy.
He can't even muster 30% of his peak fighting power now.
Who would dare risk their life to disturb an insect nest at this time!
So he stopped in his tracks and stared in horror at the places in the distance that were brimming with life energy.
He had no doubt that he would encounter a triangular prism.
Most of the main triangular bodies are scattered, so it's really impossible for such a large number of them to be clustered together!
Although those triangles are under the jurisdiction of the Void Sea Clan, the Sea Clan also has a king.
However, the Void Sea Clan lives in scattered tribes, so it is impossible for them to number in the hundreds of thousands or even millions!
Therefore, Malzahar was certain that what was in front of him was definitely the lair of the Void Worms!
He didn't know which species of insectoid insect he would encounter, but whatever type of insectoid insect it was, it was not something he could afford to provoke at the moment!
Let's not even mention that those insect-devouring insects have an extremely powerful insect king leading the entire race.
Even just the sheer number of millions of worms is enough to terrify anyone!
He knew very well that those devouring insects were terrifying beings capable of consuming the bodies of ethereal beings.
So now he's truly afraid, so afraid that he doesn't dare to go and hunt for the life energy that's already within his grasp.
Malzahar did not leave immediately; he stayed there for another hour.
His eyes were full of confusion at that moment.
Because those phages with life energy responses didn't move for so long, as if they were in hibernation.
Malzahar didn't want to provoke those terrifying insect-eating creatures, but he desperately needed energy to recover from his injuries.
After some hesitation, Malzahar decided to go and take a look.
So he flew towards the pile of life energy in the distance.
About three hours later, Malzahar flew to a huge, completely black spatial entrance!
No, it's more accurate to call it a nest!
After all, in the Chaos Realm, one could only see a pitch-black entrance and could not see the full interior at all.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the black cave, Malzahar did not dare to go in directly.
He remained waiting at the entrance, while also sniffing out any powerful energy reactions deep within the cave.
Nearly an hour later, Malzahar neither saw the devouring insects emerge to greet him nor smelled the powerful life force of the so-called insect king.
Malzahar was puzzled as to why, but he still decided to risk exploring the cave.
He really needs to replenish his energy now.
Three more hours passed before Malzahar finally flew to the depths of the pitch-black cave.
And they saw that the walls of the cave were inhabited by countless worms!
Those insectoid creatures were about the size of a minecart (car), and they were all purple, spider-like monsters!
However, these spiders do not have eight legs; they are all uniform four-legged spiders!
Their legs are so thick and sharp that they look like giant, upright pickaxes!
In any case, these huge and strangely shaped four-legged spiders give people an extremely dangerous feeling.
The sheer number of them, which seems to stretch on forever, is particularly chilling!
Seeing that the giant spiders were all asleep and showed no signs of waking up, Malzahar was extremely excited.
He knew these four-legged spiders were the legendary insect-eating ghost spiders, and he also knew that these ghost spiders had no leader.
Otherwise, their king would never have allowed an outsider like him to penetrate so deeply into their lair!
Malzahar didn't know why these ghost spiders had been sleeping all this time; he only knew that he could finally have his fill of them today.
So he didn't care whether the ghost spiders were asleep or not, and directly waved his hand to send out a purplish-black smoke!
The smoke spiraled outwards towards the sleeping ghost spiders.
The moment they came into contact with the smoke, the bodies of the ghost spiders that lived on the dark walls all turned into nothingness!
At the same time, a purple light shone on Malzahar's body!
Without a doubt, Malzahar is absorbing the life energy of those ghost spiders!
It's similar to the energy absorption of ultimate fear and the Void Worm that devours everything to evolve itself.
Malzahar didn't stand on ceremony; he absorbed the life energy of thousands of ghost spiders in one go.
His injured body was completely healed after being nourished by such a huge amount of life energy, and Malzahar was able to return to human form!
Seeing the scales on his body disappear, the ragged Malzahar burst into laughter!
"Hahahaha, what incredible energy! I've finally regained my human form! I've finally regained my human form!! Hahahahahaha!"
Malzahar has now returned to his human form, and his body has shrunk in size.
However, his combat power has now returned to its former peak!
Because once he regains his human form, he can enter his sea of consciousness and communicate with his void engine and the Valor!
He is still the "invincible" Void King who reigns supreme!
It's still that powerful false god who transcends the mortal body!
Perhaps it was because he was laughing so loudly that a fierce roar came from the depths of this dark cave!
Why deep within the cave, you ask? Because thousands of ghost spiders near the outside have been absorbed by Malzahar.
Moreover, that roar was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, countless other roars, like hissing, came from the depths of the cave!
The roars came one after another, like firecrackers going off in quick succession.
The noise was deafening!
Without a doubt, it was Malzahar who woke up all those sleeping ghost spiders!
"not good!"
Malzahar wasn't deaf; of course he heard the roar coming from deep within the cave.
Realizing he had disturbed a burrow of insects, he immediately turned and flew toward the entrance of the cave.
Despite his rapid flight, he could hear sharp, thudding sounds of planes hitting the ground behind him.
Without thinking twice, Malzahar flew outwards with all his might.
He knew that even without the Insect King, the Devouring Insects were not so easy to deal with.
Especially since the number of the insect-devouring worms behind him is a staggering millions!
Even he wouldn't dare risk his life to provoke those Void Devouring Insects that can devour everything!
Malzaha flew desperately for an hour, but he still couldn't escape the dark nest.
Perhaps because he was too eager, he even forgot that he could now use wormholes! [Because he has returned to human form]
Just keep flying like that, desperately!
But the bad news is that those four-legged spiders walk very fast!
It was almost faster than Malzahar's flight speed!
Therefore, not far behind Malzahar, one could already see those four-legged spiders as big as mine carts!
Malzahar was unwilling to die in the mouth of the spiders, so he turned around and attacked the four-legged spiders that were crawling towards him!
Two streams of purplish-red energy surged from Malzahar's palms and quickly merged into a beam of energy as thick as a water vat, which shot toward the swarm of ghost spiders!
Needless to say, this was Malzahar unleashing his ultimate move—the Demonic Annihilation Wave!
Malzahar manipulated the Annihilation Wave, constantly shifting and stirring it left and right, instantly obliterating the giant spiders struck by the crimson energy!
Yes, Malzahar possesses the power to annihilate everything; his Annihilation Wave is not simply about crushing enemies.
Instead, it completely annihilated his body into nothingness!
The annihilated thing seemed to have never existed in this world; it vanished without a trace.
Although Malzahar's Annihilation Wave was very strong, there were simply too many of those Ghost Spiders, and their crawling speed was also too fast.
Therefore, it's inevitable that some ghost spiders will miss him and crawl towards him, bypassing his annihilation wave.
At that moment, Malzahar felt a chill run down his spine; he knew that these devouring insects were very difficult to eradicate.
But just as he withdrew the Annihilation Wave and prepared to run away again, the ghost spiders forcibly crawled in front of him.
They completely trapped him in this pitch-black cave!
Looking at the dozens of four-legged spiders in front of him, Malzahar was about to wave his hand to kill them.
But the next second he realized that the ghost spiders blocking his way were not attacking him!
Just as he hesitated for a few seconds, the ghost spider from the depths of the cave crawled over from behind him!
The giant four-legged spiders surrounded Malzahar!
But not a single one pounced on and tore into the humanoid creature that had killed its kind.
Seeing the four-legged spiders around him making noises but daring not to move, Malzahar instantly understood what was going on.
Yes, the swarm of ghost spiders he discovered did not have a king.
The absence of the insect king means that they have lost their brains capable of thinking.
In other words, these ghost spiders are now just a bunch of lowly creatures that only know how to eat!
They can only identify whether another is of the same kind by their scent!
Malzahar had just absorbed the life energy of thousands of ghost spiders, so he naturally carried their aura on him.
So now those mindless ghost spiders all regard Malzahar as their king!
Because the spider energy emanating from Malzahar is indeed very strong!
After figuring out the reason, Malzahar couldn't help but burst into laughter on the spot!
"Hahahaha! Uh hahahaha! Heaven is helping me! Heaven is truly helping me! Ahahahaha! Uh hahahahaha!"
Malzahar knew that with the help of the Insect-Eating Spider Clan, it would be a piece of cake for him to take back everything he had lost!
In his eyes, the Void Trinity, Morris, and Void Nuclear Weapons were all utter bullshit!
His spider army is capable of devouring everything, and he has finally regained the power (influence) to overturn the world!
Although Malzahar became the king of the Insect-Eating Spiders by a stroke of luck, he did not immediately go to the Void to seek revenge.
He first sensed the location of the Valo through his sea of consciousness, only to find that the Valo had broken free of its binding with him!
Malzahar was also frustrated by the loss of connection with the Vallo.
But even without the Valor, he could locate the Void Continent using his Void Wormhole Engine.
However, he did not intend to go back to seek revenge against the Void Trinity right now.
He was going to lead his army of ghost spiders to find other insectoid swarms and become their sole insect king!
Once he becomes the Insect Emperor, Malzahar will no longer be the king of the Void Continent.
He is the king of the entire Chaos Realm!!
Of course, to truly become the sole ruler of the Chaos Realm, one still needs to seize control of the Void Sea Clan.
However, once he becomes the sole insect king of the Void Devourers, dealing with the Void Sea Clan, who excel in the mental realm, will no longer be so difficult for him.
He has already figured out how to proceed from here.
Therefore, Malzahar used a micro-wormhole to collect all those four-legged spiders into his sea of consciousness. [Malzahar's sea of consciousness (the dark dimension) is almost infinitely large.]
But because there were so many ghost spiders, it would take him some time to take them all away at once.
Without a doubt, when he, the sole insect king who devours insects, reappears, he will absolutely turn the whole world upside down!
