The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 271 - 182 "Harassing Calls
Chapter 271: Chapter 182 "Harassing Calls
Battle Zone No.13, the western coastline
Under several Wind Magic enhancer Spells, Yun Dao, who was utilizing the Sky Control Technique, quickly brought the accompanying witches back to the camp in front of Gate 89.
This camp had long since become a production base at the rear, responsible for the mining of a nearby iron mine.
Although there was no coal supplement and few surrounding trees, with the aid of Magic, the witches’ steel output remained steady and even increased after becoming more adept.
Of course, her purpose for returning this time was not for the steel within the camp.
Looking in the direction of the western sea, even though the sea base had strayed far from the coast to avoid grounding, the pure White Church on it was still faintly visible.
This was the church they had built for the worship of their Racial God, the Primordial Witch.
According to the information about the Primordial Witch occasionally obtained from the Information Broadcast, this Primordial Witch seemed to prefer white, hence the choice of this architectural color scheme.
Although it was at risk of being too conspicuous, the sea base was never intended to be a front-line assault ship, so it would not affect combat.
And due to their own formidable strength, there was no need to worry that this conspicuous rear sea base would be attacked.
In that case, of course, the church had to be as ostentatiously cool as possible.
After a brief rest with the accompanying witches, Yun Dao took them into the skies again, heading towards the sea base.
Even without the use of various accelerating Spells out of respect, it only took Yun Dao a minute of flying to arrive in front of the church.
The Five Sea Dominator, who had sensed Yun Dao’s arrival through Spiritual Connection, had already walked out of the church to wait at the entrance.
Today, she was wearing a set of White nun-like attire with a corresponding veil on her head, looking quite the part.
This was an outfit she had come up with on her own and not something they had obtained from the Information Broadcast.
She simply thought yesterday that the ritual had to be formal, and conveniently, after plundering so many Lords, there were corresponding materials in their territory, so she went through the hassle of making this set of clothes.
"How are the preparations for the ritual?"
Upon landing, Yun Dao’s first concern was still the focus of today.
Although the Five Sea Dominator originally planned to cuddle up with her sister, being asked about this forced her hand, leading her to seriously reply after taking her sister into the church:
"Everything is ready. The Rune Magic Array inside the church has also been checked again, ensuring it’s completely consistent with the incomplete diagrams we obtained. As for how much effect we can achieve...
I can’t guarantee that...
However, all other preparations have been completed, including the Beastman prisoners and Beastman corpses we captured and preserved which have been taken out in advance.
Other sacrifices needed for the ritual have also been properly prepared, including but not limited to food, minerals, and our Spell Books accumulated to date.
Additionally, our ceremonial robes have been rushed through production, ensuring that all ten thousand witches participating in the ritual can wear them!"
Yun Dao had no objections to her sister’s efforts.
After all, it was their first ritual, and without any standard from the Information Broadcast, they had to improvise.
Respectfully, of course, the more grand, the better.
They had never considered that the reason they hadn’t received corresponding information was that the Primordial Witch herself had not given any thought to this...
After all, how could that be possible?
Not receiving a ritual procedure must be their fault!
"It’s a pity that the incomplete diagrams left too few Rune Magic Arrays, mostly with only one or two runes remaining, not enough for reverse deduction.
We can only complete those arrays with higher integrity as best as we can understand them.
If only they could be repaired, then this church would definitely have some hidden effects, and could even offer sufficient knowledge...
Unfortunately...
For now, we’ll have to just make do and hope the Primordial Witch does not blame us..."
"Don’t worry, Sister. Her Highness the Primordial Witch knows our efforts and will definitely not blame us."
Her sister’s gentle voice almost gave Yun Dao the illusion that she was indeed facing a Priest, changing her impression of her sister from the past days.
However, the Five Sea Dominator didn’t dwell on this, instead saying:
"Since Sister has arrived and the time is about right, let’s begin!"
"Okay!"
Their decision spread through the Spiritual Connection to the surrounding area, and an agreed-upon item was removed from sale in the Free Market.
This was a pre-arranged one-time communication method, using the listing and delisting on the still-operational Free Market as a way to communicate over long distances within the Battle Zone.
After all, the Battle Zone was vast, and especially for the sea fleet, the witches’ Spiritual Connection couldn’t cross the vast ocean, nor could they possibly leave witches in the middle as signal relay points.
They could only choose this method for simple information transfer.
And the item that was delisted this time was a signal to remind the witches outside to stop any possible battles, ready to start the ritual.
The preparations had been made in advance, and the witches participating in the ritual had also arrived in front of the church, dressed in the White nun attire.
Even Yun Dao was no exception, wearing a custom-made long robe with Gold edges made by her sister, standing on the intentionally elevated foundation steps in front of the church.
After unifying their attire, the witches’ slight facial similarities were magnified infinitely, giving Yun Dao a déjà vu feeling, as if these witches were really true sisters.
Through their contours, one could vaguely discern the features of the Primordial Witch.
This was one of the reasons why Yun Dao began to believe in the Primordial Witch—to achieve such a thing, other than a Racial God, she could not think of any possibilities.
Only the creator of all witches, the great Primordial Witch, the miracle of Life, the Eternal Bai Yi could do all this...
Praise the Primordial Witch!
Yun Dao unconsciously prayed in her heart.
In fact, not only her, but the majority of the witches present were doing the same thing.
Affected by the atmosphere in front of the church, and influenced by the emotions in the Spiritual Connection, they unconsciously began to pray to the Primordial Witch.
And these prayers, spreading through the Spiritual Connection, continued to amplify this infectious power, eventually causing resonance and solidifying all witches’ faith in the Primordial Witch even further.
As their silent prayers continued, time quickly approached noon, the pre-arranged time for their ritual.
Yun Dao, as the leader of the expeditionary army’s witches, arrived at the innermost part of the church, with her half-step trailing sister beginning to guide the ritual, praying toward the statue of the Primordial Witch within the church.
"O great Primordial Witch, creator of all witches..."
Under the resonance of the Spirit Network, the witches’ prayers were gathered by the church’s remaining, incomplete Array.
However, due to the lack of the necessary Array, it could not connect to Bai Yi’s church network, and could only send out this Power of Faith.
Coincidentally, Yun Dao’s repair of the Array subtly changed its function.
This power did not flow into the church communication network to interfere with communication.
Instead, it accidentally switched the connection directly to Bai Yi, the subject of their faith.
Directly turning into a "nuisance call" bombarding Bai Yi.
Causing Bai Yi, who was in her territory, having just finished her morning experiment and enjoying her lunch, to suddenly become startled.
"Yikes! What’s happening?"
"Your Highness, what’s the matter?" The ever-ready Hatti immediately wore a serious expression, stepping forward ready to receive orders.
If she were serving any other Lord, Hatti’s reaction would be deemed unsatisfactory.
She didn’t consider safety issues first thing when her master suddenly discovered something, which should have put her on alert.
However, in front of Bai Yi, these precautions were unnecessary.
After all, not to mention that the territory around Bai Yi was protected by the Insect Swarm witches and could not possibly harm her, Bai Yi herself was much more powerful in battle than she was.
Her task was only to take good care of the intricate details of Bai Yi’s life.
But this time, Hatti was destined to be of no help.
The power born of Faith called out to Bai Yi in the most primal form, not harming her, but rather this first-time experience made her feel curious.
Although she already had millions of followers and had attempted large-scale collective prayers, freёnovelkiss.com
Those had the church acting as an intermediary, intercepting all the power and never connecting directly to Bai Yi.
So this was truly Bai Yi’s "first time."
Quickly raising a hand to stop Hatti from approaching, Bai Yi then earnestly started to focus on this "nuisance call."
After all, Bai Yi had already been in contact with the corresponding Power of Faith, and after the initial shock, she quickly calmed down, finding the relevant scenario in the network’s memory.
It was from Huang Shou’s shared memory, which was a soul slice cut from the King of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Now the feeling was very similar to when he received worship.
Adding the fact that these forces brought with them those faint praises further confirmed Bai Yi’s beliefs.
But knowing this did not mean that Bai Yi understood how to respond to these prayers, or even knew how to block them.
It’s like a math problem: Understanding the problem and being able to solve it are two different things.
As for why not ask Huang Shou...
Although she could manipulate the Power of Faith with her weakened Lord Talent, that didn’t mean Bai Yi could learn skills that weren’t based on superpower.
Moreover, even Huang Shou, when responding to prayers, relied on the Talent of being a Lord in the panel.
If she really needed to put it into practice, Bai Yi was better off figuring it out on her own.
After all, this was the first time, and Bai Yi wasn’t seeking any significant gains.
She then focused on trying to discern the words from the overlapping and fuzzy prayers.
But if she couldn’t hear it clearly that would have been fine, but the moment she discerned the praises, she suddenly felt a bizarre feeling of shame like someone caught her reciting her own cringe-worthy lines from her teenage years.
And more importantly, she hadn’t yet learned to block prayers, meaning she had no choice but to listen to them!
And even worse, to obtain more information and feelings, she had to listen intently, which could be considered torture.
Fortunately, this "nuisance call" only lasted for half an hour.
Feeling the prayers recede, Bai Yi slumped into her chair as if burned out, weakly complaining:
"Great praise indeed, but please, by all means, refrain from praising next time!"
However, unbeknownst to her, her heartfelt words somehow followed the lingering connection as an "oracle," broadcasting back.
But it also got garbled, resulting in some "harmless" fragmentation.
"Very good... next time... be certain to..."
Finishing her prayers without receiving a response, Yun Dao thought the prayer had been fruitless.
But just as she was about to announce the end of the ritual, she heard the broken "oracle."
The respect and obedience embedded in one’s genes cannot be faked.
The last bit of doubt in her heart towards the Primordial Witch completely vanished.
"Praise the Primordial Witch!"
