ALL NOVEL 1129 17.56 Fourth Violet Star - Chaos has Descended
Southern Edge Territory,
The Lost Forest...
The imperium star's forgotten forest is a banned yet habitable region that encircles the cities. It is an uncontrolled land with tall trees and a dense canopy of greenery. The fact that hazardous creatures reside here makes the situation worse. Some sentient beings even acquire their human form and acquire wisdom. There are other species living on the Imperium Empire's planets as well as humans. Only in metropolitan areas, where cities are built and mortals are present, does the human race reside. No humans have reached these locations, which are among the most perilous uncharted territories. The Secret Sanctuary, a flower garden in the middle of this forest, is hence unknown.
Because to the stampede created by swarms of Black Ant Zergs, this once dense woodland was now practically treeless. Trees that had been broken and had lost their leaves, tree bark that was all over the place, and evidence of multiple ant tramplings were all left behind. In addition, there are several holes where Ant Zergs emerge, as well as a huge dome that resembles sand that appears to have grown out of the terrain itself.
Someonw withTrypophobia would have caused one to pass out long ago upon seeing the ant nest in front of them. Adjutant Kir von Giselle, who was hovering around the aforementioned nest, eventually discovered signs of the residence of the Black Ant Zerg Queen. Adjutant Kir would have to disturb the ground or lure the Ant Queen out of its hiding place for it to emerge at all because this Ant Queen had buried itself in the deepest part of the colony.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle mumbled at the scene, "This Ant Nest is too deep. The only way to kill the Ant Queen is to destroy this nest. Sigh~ this is a bit tiring."
The wind elements were under his control. He decided against using his mecha because he knew he could take out such a sizable Ant Nest on his own. These straightforward tasks were typically not handled by him as the Chief Warden of the Nether System. The majority of jobs, however, ended up going to him because their Lord God was unable to even leave his wife's side.
Whoosh. Whoosh. On the top of his palm, a tiny tornado was visible. Thought it appears small, but as soon as it departed from his hands, it grew bigger and taller before falling upon the ant nest. Up until it breaks the sand dome and reveals the ant tunnels underneath, the tornado devastates the large ant nest. It appears that the Ant Zergs have taken control of the underground region.
KRIEEKK!! KEERKKK! RIEKKK!
Adjutant Kir von Giselle killed anything that came out of the tunnels while he was watching them with his eyes. He can only fire a few bombs at each tunnel, pushing it further in with the wind for a bigger explosion, which makes it appear endless.
BOOM. BAM! BOOM
A large ant queen that had been partially burned alive emerges from her hiding place as expected following the loud explosions created by the underground bombs. Several eggs that were either broken or cooked by fire and bumps on her way out are being dragged after her. Although many eggs still managed to survive, Adjutant Kir decides to blow them all away with the wind.
The Black Ant Zerg Queen shrieks indignantly and sadly as she watches her eggs blow up one by one. In addition to killing all of her offspring, the previous explosions also destroyed her unhatched eggs. While she attempted to save the eggs, the explosion burned her. Even though she used her line to preserve a few eggs, the human who came before her nonetheless destroyed all of them.
KRIEEEE KKKKKK!!!
She intended to kill the person flying over her head, but ant queens are only designed for production, not combat. Adjutant Kir von Giselle attacked her while ignoring it and continued to do so till she passed away beneath the windmills. He murdered the Ant Zerg and was emotionless despite its cries till it breathed its last, demonstrating his ruthlessness.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle intended to place a few more bombs in the tunnel to ensure that all of the Zerg Eggs were destroyed, but he was halted when a thick limb of a tree flew towards him as if warning him. Then he hears a voice speaking in an ancient language.
{Leaveth, human! We shall crisp up the rest. Useth not Yond exploding thing. Thou art causing harmeth to our roots!}
Translation: [Leave, Human! We will clean up the rest. Don't use that exploding thing. You are causing harm to our roots!]
Adjutant Kir von Giselle dodged the incoming branch and hid the bombs in his hands as he was told. He looked in a certain direction with nothing on it intently until he found ripples in the space and saw a flower garden within the mirage. That illusionary world was filled with flowers and a scent that seemed to be similar to the one Lord Hei possessed.
{The King's floweth'r garden cannot beest did destroy. Leaveth anon, human!}
Translation: [The King's Flower Garden cannot be destroyed. Leave now, Human!]
Kir von Giselle, an adjutant, questioned his subsystem while thinking. He instructed the subsystem to investigate even though he suspected that the king these Sentient Beings were summoning might be Lord Yara.
'Is the King they are calling, Yara von Chrysalis? The owner of this hidden sanctuary is him?'
The subsystem responded, [Affirmative! According to the traces within the area and the familiar aura coming beyond the mirage, it can be said that the King they are talking about is indeed Lord Yara. This must be one of his flower gardens.]
15:07
Adjutant Kir von Giselle let down his guard and bowing to the mirage, turned and walked away. He finished his work and went back to the city. He couldn't destroy the Garden because Lord Hei's incarnation owns it, thus he couldn't. As trees may utilize their roots to get rid of the remaining ants, he can leave the cleanup to that Sentient Being. They couldn't simply leave the mirage, which is probably why they didn't eliminate the Ant Zergs from the start.
Voices from the Lost Forest can be heard talking to each other.
{That gent is gone. That gent is finally gone.}
{Yond human is stout. That gent did destroy the ant nested high-lone and coequal hath killed the ant queen. Pow'rful human!}
{Yond human smells did bite liketh the king. Art those gents acquainted? Thankfully, we didn't killeth that gent.}
{F'rget t. F'rget that gent. We wilt protecteth this garden and waiteth f'r the next timeth the king wakes up.}
Translations:
[He is gone. He is finally gone.]
[That human is strong. He destroyed the Ant Nest alone and even killed the Ant Queen. Powerful Human.]
[That human smells a bit like the king. Are they acquainted? Thankfully, we didn't kill him.]
[Forget it. Forget him. We must protect this garden and wait for the next time the King wakes up.]
The ripples in the extinct woodland had vanished once more. A few trees shift and cover the devasted area, burying the corpse of the Ant Queen and utilizing it as fertilizer. The underground passageways were refilled, and the woodland returned to its previous state of tranquility.

Somewhere in outer space...
Chaos had no need for breathing apparatus as it relaxedly sat in the galaxy. Even a table, a chair, and a tea set were brought out for him to use. The three pairs of Zerg Royalty were observing the Imperium Star not far from him. They dispatched the Ant Zerg to investigate whether the Grand Marshal was there on the planet or not. The invasion had a rampage after nearly totally catching the Empire's populace off guard, leaving barely a few intact territories.
"Pfft~ You guys are too frightened. I told you that the Grand Marshal was not in Imperium Star at the moment. Sips~"
Chaos, the figure wearing a mask over half of his face and scarlet robes with a silver snowflake pattern. The mask displays his short but tall nose, thin cerise lips, and lower half of his face. Underneath the mask, he also had a set of silver and black irises.
They were happy that the demon was not present as they saw the issue in the Imperium Star about to be resolved thanks to Adjutant Kir von Giselle, who killed the Black Ant Zerg Queen by herself. After all, if the Grand Marshal is on the star, he would undoubtedly inspect the area beyond the Imperium Star's sky in addition to eradicating the Zerg on the planet.
"Kriek~ It seems that the dangerous human is not around. This is our chance."
"We should destroy them while the demon is not back yet. Kriek~"
"Keke, what would that human feel when he saw the planet he protected all his life destroyed when he returned? I can't wait to see~"
"Stop wasting time. Krek~ We should go now."
"Lord Chaos, Kek~ are you not coming with us?"
The corner of those thin cerise lips curls up and those odd-colored eyes glints with mischievousness. Chaos responded, "Maybe showing up for a bit would be fun~"
Finally, the Zerg Royalty entered the Imperium Star under the leadership of the dashing man in a mask. They were followed by Zerg Generals and herds, which were three times as many as the Ant Zerg Queen's retinue. The survivors of Imperium Star's human population were horrified to see countless Zergs entering their planet as the sky above Imperium Star was blanketed in the shadows of the invaders.
Before they could celebrate the death of the Ant Zerg Queen, a fresh influx of foes arrived to retake their territory. The invaders are far more potent this time around. The human survivors' features showed signs of despair as there was nothing separating them from the impending catastrophe that was hanging over their empire.

In the Imperium Star...
Adjutant Kir von Giselle informed the Emperor that the Black Ant Zerg Queen had been destroyed and that the Black Ant Swarm attack had been stopped. The news he had sent pleased the inhabitants of the Imperial Palace.
Within the throne room...
Emperor Cale and the ministers, including the nobility who had recently joined them, were given some welcome news just as they learned of the passing of the Black Ant Zerg Queen.
Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian pats the armchair of his throne in delight, "Good! Lord Giselle is indeed the Adjutant of the Grand Marshal! His strength is indeed not simple!"
"These past few days were like hell. We lost a lot of our people but in the end, we still survived!"
"I guess even without the Grand Marshal in Imperium we would still be able to survive."
"Enough with such arrogance! That Ant Zerg Queen that was killed was only a mere General-ranked Zerg. Without the Grand Marshal, are you sure we can kill a Royal-ranked one!? Watch your words!" Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian coldly reprimanded these nobles and ministers about the reality they wanted to turn a blind eye to.
While Dean Frey von Gregory, who was just grinning with them, hurried to the window and peered at the sky above them as if he sensed something was wrong. In a world where the strongest are merely SSS-ranked, he sensed several presences that shouldn't be there. Others who were present with him also saw the changes in the sky.
Uncountable shadows appeared out of nowhere to obscure the brilliant sky. Many human-like creatures with insect parts on sections of their bodies were revealed when the clouds parted. Dean Frey von Gregory was most alarmed by the red-robed man with a mask smirking at them as he looked down at them with a set of silver and black irises that seemed familiar but weren't to him. This individual was the only one not of the humanoid bug race in the sky.
Dean Frey von Gregory was stunned by the familiar aura the masked man was giving. "Impossible! How can a God this powerful descend in this lower realm world!?"
Kir von Giselle, an adjutant who was preparing to head back into the city, was equally perplexed. As a Nether System's warden from the Above Realm, there is that one aura among the bugs has the potential to utterly overpower him. It implies that this existence is capable of fighting against with their Lord God.
"Who the hell is he? I need to report to Milord!"
