Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 230 - 188: Pillbug People, Fallen Demigod (Part 2)
Clearly, there were a significant number of Transcendent Insect People who resembled pillbugs in this city.
To Lince, this civilization was grotesquely bizarre.
’Humanoid insects... It’s just too disgusting.’
And now, the appearance of these Pillbug People pushed Lince’s morbid fascination and disgust to their absolute limit.
The difference in aesthetic standards between species was simply too vast.
Such revulsion and disgust were only natural.
After all, if these Pillbug People were replaced with Bee People or Mantis People, Lince would have found it far more acceptable.
Indeed, aesthetics were important in any world.
If aesthetic sensibilities didn’t align, or were even starkly different, then any talk of racial integration was out of the question.
’So, I’ll use this city as my breakthrough point?’
Lince mused.
His deliberation lasted less than a few seconds before he came to a decision.
After all, with the assistance of the True Game, Lince had already gathered sufficient information from this city.
This Pillbug city was, in fact, the main city of their race.
With this main city as the center, the surrounding Pillbug People had numerous ’City-level Cities’ in their state-like territories, which were analogous to real-world provinces.
In this region, the entire Pillbug People race numbered over one hundred million.
As one of the so-called superior Races, their birth rate was moderate, and their average lifespan was over 150 years.
Therefore, this Race had its own High Tier and even Saint Tier members.
The Taven Civilization had seventeen other such "superior" Races, similar to the Pillbugs.
Eighteen superior Races and forty-two mid-tier Races formed the core, all serving to protect the Emperor Race of the Taven Civilization.
In other words, the so-called true Taven Insect People.
Therefore, if Lince were to strike at a superior Race like this, it would surely provoke a sufficient reaction.
And so, after just a moment of thought, Lince decided to make this place his first battleground.
’As for how to destroy it?’
’Did that even need to be asked?’
’By unleashing a natural disaster.’
To be honest, Lince couldn’t muster an ounce of sympathy for these pillbug-like creatures.
They just made him sick.
Therefore, the only thing Lince intended to do was grant them a painless death. That would be his final act of mercy.
A war between civilizations had no room for mercy.
And so, in the very next moment!
The sky above the once-sunny city suddenly darkened!
"What’s going on?"
"The forecast didn’t call for rain today, did it?"
"What’s going on? Where are the state’s meteorologists? Tell them to disperse this rain immediately! How can it rain on such a perfect day?"
The ignorant and arrogant Pillbug People looked up at the sky, complaining.
However, their complaints were cut short a moment later by a thunderous roar.
"Who are you?! Who dares to interfere with the weather above our Northern State’s city?!"
The High Tier city Guards shot up into the sky.
Not only were these beings High Tier, but they were also clad in metallic mechanical exoskeletons.
They looked just like insectoid mechanical War Beasts.
What’s more, each of these High Tier Pillbugs was at least seven to eight hundred meters long!
There was a considerable number of them. In the blink of an eye, over thirty High Tier Pillbug People had soared into the sky.
However, the instant they took to the sky, more than a dozen terrifying tornadoes suddenly descended from the roiling dark clouds above.
The tornadoes swept down, carrying with them a bitter Frost.
At that moment, all the High Tier Pillbug People roared in fury once more!!!
"This level of large-scale weather manipulation... It has to be a Saint Tier assailant!"
"The nerve!!! It’s one of the Defying God! A fugitive from the Defying God must have come here."
"Quick! Send someone to inform the State Head in his seclusion! This attacker is likely an important figure among the Defying God! We can’t be careless."
The High Tier Pillbugs bellowed.
At the same time, some of the High Tier Pillbugs charged toward different tornadoes, clearly intending to divide their forces to withstand the terrifying onslaught.
However, they had completely underestimated the descending tornadoes!
And so, the next moment...
Just as one Pillbug, its body radiating terrifying waves of Magic Power, charged into a tornado to disperse it, a terrified shriek suddenly echoed across the sky!
"No!!! This is impossible!!! This Power... it’s far beyond that of a simple Saint Tier!!!"
"No!!! I don’t want to die!!! Quick, help me—"
The panicked scream was brief.
After just two cries, it fell completely silent!
Seeing this, the faces of the other High Tier Pillbugs in the sky changed drastically!
Several other High Tier Pillbugs who had been about to charge into the tornadoes all screeched to a halt.
Down below in the city, the masses of ordinary Pillbug People finally snapped out of their stupor!
"Oh no!!! It’s an attack by the Defying God!!!"
"Run!!! Run for your lives!!!"
Masses of Pillbug People began to flee the city.
However, in the next moment, terrifying tornadoes, each over ten thousand meters tall and stretching to the heavens, came crashing down.
And so...
Vast swaths of the city’s architecture were destroyed in an instant.
At the same time, imbued with the power of a deep freeze, every area of the city swept by the terrifying tornadoes was instantly frozen solid!
Countless Pillbugs had no time to escape. Some had even taken flight, only to be frozen solid in the sky. They were then either swept into the tornadoes or fell to the ground, shattering into icy fragments.
"NO!!!"
"No! I don’t want to die!"
"Mommy... Where’s my mommy...? SOB... SOB..."
