Chapter 92: Mystery of the Nether Realm, The Strongest Goddess in Slumber

A week had passed since the birth of Little Black Duck No. 1.

Against the Black Catastrophe's merciless persecution, Little Black Duck had already changed its evolutionary direction. Instead of stacking armor wildly, it evolved various attacking organs and challenged the Black Catastrophe continuously.

It was foreseeable. It was only a matter of time before the Black Catastrophe lost to Little Black Duck.

Today...

The door to the Nether Realm in Rayne's eyes suddenly opened.

The Blood Empress was here to chat with Rayne.

The scenery behind the Blood Empress today was different.

Behind her throne, there were ten more gigantic heads that resembled mountains.

The heads were extremely fresh and were even alive. Their eyes were unfocused and they cursed weakly. Blood flowed like streams from their neatly severed mouths and fused into the surging blood river.

Those were the ten evil gods that Rayne had summoned in the past to repel the Blood Empress!

Rayne revealed a surprised expression. "Your Majesty, this is…"

"The spoils of war I brought back. This can be considered as my hobby."

The Empress laughed in satisfaction. "These reckless fanatics really think that they can provoke the Nether Realm Empress without paying any price. They were not even prepared in the slightest bit when my Blood Cavalry entered their territory."

"Ah… of course, Rayne, this has nothing to do with you."

The Blood Empress looked at Rayne with a doting gaze. "As a mortal, it's your greatest achievement in life to be able to defeat me. You don't have to worry about anything. All you have to do is accept this honor calmly."

It was clear that in the Blood Empress's opinion, being defeated by a peer was a completely different concept from being defeated by a mortal.

Against the evil gods, she retaliated strongly and made them pay with blood.

However, faced with a mortal who managed to defeat her, she would only feel grateful that the great power of fate allowed her to meet such a mythical ant that went against the heavens!

Ever since the Blood Empress found out that Rayne was going to head to the Deep Tundra…

She would often come over to talk to Rayne and follow up on the progress of his plan.

As the strongest supreme being of the Nether Realm, the Blood Empress naturally knew why Rayne visited the Deep Tundra and headed to the hometown of Order.

She also knew what sort of terrifying enemies would Rayne have to challenge in order to achieve his goal.

Therefore, she was filled with anticipation for Rayne's next move.

However, during this period of time, Rayne's plan had been in the preparatory stage, making the Blood Empress feel a little bored. That was the reason why she would invade the territory of her enemies to kill time and sever a few evil gods' heads to relieve her boredom.

As for Rayne, he had clearly realized this problem as well.

"In that case, Your Majesty, I must have disappointed you, right?"

Rayne said regrettably, "After all, I merely stayed at home with nothing to do. You must have been forced to witness a lot of boring scenes."

"Indeed, I'm a little displeased that you've only been doing things that will make Olivia ecstatic during this period of time. However, that's not the main point…"

The Blood Empress asked, "Right now, I'm more interested in the locust you're nurturing. Do you know much about this thing?"

Rayne replied humbly, "A little…"

When the Blood Empress heard that, she revealed a skeptical expression and asked with a smile, "That's truly incredible. The story of these locusts shouldn't have spread to the sixth era. How did you know about it?"

Towards the Blood Empress's questioning, Rayne was extremely calm.

He replied respectfully, "If everything was within your expectations, you wouldn't think so highly of me, right?"

After a moment of silence, the Blood Empress could not help but laugh.

Ha…

This mortal was truly interesting…

A greedy smile appeared on the Blood Empress's face. Her voice was deep and resolute.

"… Rayne Haines, one day, I'm going to get my hands on everything about you."

The Blood Empress naturally knew everything about Little Black Duck.

As a natural catastrophe that destroyed the fourth era, the Era Sword that was created by the locusts was even in the Blood Empress's collection.

The Blood Empress pulled out the culmination of the catastrophe that symbolized the end of the fourth era.

It was a flawless crystal sword.

The Blood Empress caressed the transparent sword's blade fondly. Instantly, the glass-like sword's blade reflected the tragic scene of the swarm devouring all living beings in the past until even the star core was drained dry by it, leading to the apocalypse.

Fourth era, the Locust Catastrophe.

The apocalyptic catastrophe originated from a foolish challenge to the Nether Realm by the mortals.

Towards the end of the era, the mortals suffered from the endless war and the threat of the Nether Realm. Finally, they came up with the most extreme solution.

After the egg that had been floating in the cracks of time and space for hundreds of millions of years was found by the mortal demigods...

Through their research on the egg, the demigods eventually discovered the most perfect survival mode in the world.

In other words, the mind of a hive.

When the wills of all living beings were unified and the entire race was one, they advanced in unison with the most efficient methods for the sake of a common goal.

There would no longer be any difficulties in the world that could stop this perfect race.

Furthermore, more importantly…

When all living beings were combined into a great will, the newly created being would no longer have any selfish and despicable emotions. He would become a supreme god, a true god with a clear and pure soul without any filth.

At that time, the evil gods of the Nether Realm would lose the nutrients they relied on to survive and would collapse on their own!

The perfect answer to resolve all the predicaments of the mortal world seemed to be right before them.

Therefore, that small group of laughable demigods arrogantly made the decision for the fates of all living beings.

In the end, they actually transformed the mortals into swarms of insects and wanted to make use of the hive's mindset to unify the souls of the mortals. They wanted to combine them as one and arrive at the end of human intelligence to end conflicts and resolve the root of the problem by destroying the Nether Realm!

As they wished, they became the one and only absolute saints. Indeed, the power of the Nether Realm weakened for a period of time.

But soon…

At the epitome of human intellect, an even more terrifying reflection was cast in the Nether Realm.

With that, the most terrifying overlord of the Nether Realm was created.

[Harmony]

She represented the gathering and sublimation of all living beings' emotions. If the statuses of the evil gods were to be discussed, there was no doubt she would be the ultimate evil god of the Nether Realm.

In the fourth era, she was active for a short period of time and fell into silence after the apocalypse of the fourth era.

Till now, she was still asleep in the depths of the Nether Realm.

She was the strongest enemy of Justice and also the reason why the Blood Empress could not sit still and had to prepare for battle all year round.

If the day were to come where an evil god could defeat the Empress and snatch the crown on her head—apart from Olivia who merely posed a slight threat—it would probably be the currently slumbering Harmony who did it.

The Little Black Duck reared by Rayne reminded the Blood Empress of the past once more.

Furthermore, the Blood Empress had also suddenly realized a problem.

Hmm...

How should she put it…

When she saw how skilled Rayne was in inducing the locust to evolve and how confident he was in using the Locust Catastrophe to defeat the Black Catastrophes…

The Blood Empress had a feeling…

Emmmmm…

This guy, Rayne… he seemed to be the type that would be well liked by Harmony?

Instantly, the Blood Empress felt a strong sense of danger.

She said, "Hey, Rayne, stop rearing these bugs. I'll send the Blood Cavalry to help you."

Naturally, Rayne had to reject. "Your Majesty, I can't let you suffer unnecessary losses."

"It's fine, I don't mind."

"Is that so…"

"That's right."

Rayne looked a little sad. "I see. You want to send your Blood Cavalry to deal with the enemy personally. Seems like I've disappointed you… Your Majesty."

The Blood Empress was stunned. "Huh? N-No, that's not it…"

Rayne's heart ached unbearably as he begged.

"Please, Your Majesty, please give me a chance and witness my blood tribute for you."

The crux of the problem did not lie in whether or not it was a blood tribute.

However, in the face of Rayne's sincere pleading, the Blood Empress's heart softened.

It was fine… that Harmony had already slept for two eras.

How could she suddenly awaken and come fight with her for a chosen?

Instantly, the Blood Empress thought things through and revealed a gentle smile.

"Pretend that I didn't say anything, Rayne Haines. I look forward to your tribute."
