Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

After all, in the civilization of the insect swarm, even before evolving into a perfect endless insect swarm, a highly civilized society had already been achieved.

Rhine didn't know whether the insect swarm really cared about her or was playing tricks on him. In short, Rhine could only comfort her with an awkward smile: "Maybe... the one who feels tortured is not me. .”

"Having said that...you obviously don't need to be punished like this..."

Miss Zerg looked at Rhine eagerly.

Rhine: "Why do you say that, ma'am?"

Insect Swarm: "While you were away, I talked with the people here. What precepts did they say you violated? Did they say you were bewitched by the evil god of the Nether Realm?"

"Indeed."

Rhine nodded: "So, madam, what do you think?"

The swarm of insects said excitedly: "They have obviously wronged you! No matter in which era, the worship of the evil god by the followers of the evil god is extremely crazy and infinitely blind! They maintain absolute loyalty to the evil god because they have already merged with the evil god. One body... Faced with the coming of the true God, it is absolutely impossible for them to retain the will to bargain with the gods."

"But when you saved me, it was obviously you...well."

The swarm didn't say any more.

Because she remembered that in Rhine's eyes, there was a door leading directly to the throne of the Queen of the Netherland.

Rhine: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, she is busy with other things."

"Oh, I see......"

The swarm of insects nodded in sudden realization: "It seems that there must be big trouble in the Netherland recently."

Rhine: "You know?"

The swarm of insects smiled: "Of course I know, Mr. Rhine, I know that in the Nether Realm, there is a powerful evil god who corresponds to me. She is definitely strong enough, but she also has weaknesses. She cannot absorb the spiritual nourishment of ordinary civilization and can only Draw nutrients from my soul, otherwise she will fall into an endless slumber - and now that I have revived, she has received my spiritual supply and should have begun to awaken."

The swarm of insects commented: "She is very powerful. All the gods in the netherworld are afraid of her. They will not sit still and wait for death."

The evil god of the Nether Realm is the mortal enemy of all civilizations.

They will infinitely amplify human negative emotions, completely destroy a person in a social sense, and become a cancer in a civilization.

But when the civilization of an era reaches a level that can be harvested by the original gods, it will naturally have the means to fight against the Nether Realm.

Just like the world of Zhili uses drugs to control all negative emotions, it can starve the gods of the netherworld to death.

The swarm also has its own way of coping.

According to the style of the swarm, she was supposed to evolve the ability to travel through the Nether Realm, and then directly enter the Nether Realm to eat up all the evil gods and demons.

However, before the insect swarm officially started to attack the Nether Realm, an accident directly helped her solve this trouble.

Her special soul body created an unprecedented unique emotion. This emotion was so powerful that a goddess was created out of thin air in the Nether Realm.

That is harmony.

Harmony replaced the insect swarm and massacred the entire Nether Realm. In that short millennium, the gods of the Nether Realm suffered countless casualties, and the survivors could only continue to flee.

When it comes to harmony, Rhine is a little curious. In the past, he didn't have many opportunities to communicate calmly with the insect swarm, but now he really wants to ask:

"What do you think of the goddess who corresponds to you?"

Hearing this, the insects answered Rhine's question without any hesitation.

"I was not as kind as I am now."

The swarm of insects showed a simple smile: "So what I am more curious about is what benefit will it have to me if I eat her."

Hahaha,

It's so earthy.

But then, the insect swarm showed a sad look again: "I was a little regretful and very happy to defeat the Netherland so easily at that time, but Mr. Rhine... in the end, the Netherland is just There is a mechanism set up by those creators. As long as the civilization defeats the Netherland, their awakening mechanism will be triggered, and then harvesting will begin."

When the insect swarm was not yet an insect swarm, the civilization of the Fourth Age thought that the evil gods of the Netherland were their greatest enemies.

However, when the Nether Realm was truly defeated,

A new, more terrifying enemy and malice immediately appeared in front of her,

So......

"Then could it be that...even the original gods are a screening mechanism?"

If one day,

The insect swarm or civilizations from other eras really defeated the original gods.

Then will a more terrifying enemy appear in front of them immediately?

"How far should we, the activated planet spirits, go to before we reach the end?"

The swarm of insects smiled: "I used to think about this problem often, but now I have figured it out, why do I have to accept the test of these superiors? I can exist as a trillion swarm of insects, or I can become a little girl. Sitting in jail chatting happily with my benefactor, expansion is meaningless to me - you see, I am living a good life now!"

Rhine friendly reminded: "If you don't accept the test, you will die, right?"

The swarm was extremely calm about this: "All life is subject to death, Mr. Rhine, I have lived long enough, I will not be so greedy."

What's more, if the insect swarm wants to return to its peak combat power and challenge the original gods again, it will inevitably mean eating up the planet again.

She must sacrifice Rhine and the world in which Rhine lives.

This is bad.

Because she is still alive, can still talk, and can still eat. All of this was given to her by Rhine.

She hates the drama of turning against the guest and killing her benefactor for her own selfish desires.

And Rhine couldn't help but smile when he looked at the swarm of insects.

Civilization is a train that cannot stop. Every part in it is driving the train forward, constantly accelerating, and endlessly thirsting for more cakes.

But when all the consciousnesses of an entire civilization are integrated into one, the supreme consciousness becomes very satisfied and has more choices.

Rhine can understand the current thinking of the insect swarm.

When civilization continues to evolve and challenge powerful enemies in order to fight against its enemies, it is actually just feeding the reapers of those layers of matryoshka dolls.

In that case, civilization truly loses.

Instead of fattening the reaper, it is better to simply give up struggling, enjoy life happily, and wait happily for death.

What's more, compared to following the route customized by the Creator,

Now the swarm has discovered a new path.

The swarm of insects looked at Rhine. Although she knew that her behavior was meaningless and would only trouble her benefactor, she couldn't help but secretly look at her benefactor's beautiful and gorgeous eyes, feeling happy.

I am afraid that the pioneers of the Fourth Age who created the insect swarm back then would never have thought that the endless insect swarm they created was a collective human intelligence that they had placed high hopes on, risked everything, and gathered the wisdom of all living beings.

In the end, they did not bring their civilization to one peak after another, and engulfed the entire sea of ​​​​stars under the infinite prosperity.

Instead, before taking the first step into the sea of ​​​​stars, he lay down and died, living by being a licking dog to repay his kindness.

Really...

Extremely embarrassing.

.

.

Not long after chatting with the swarm, Rhine got the news,

It's time for the interrogation to begin.

A crack in space tore open, and the Archangel Tian Zhilian was coming to pick up Lain.

As soon as Laing saw the teacher, he couldn't help complaining to the teacher: "Teacher, I am either in Holy Presence or participating in divine rituals all day long. The time I stay in prison is not enough for me to sleep. In this case, why not just let me go?" Free."

Euphemia is also easy to talk to, and she agreed to Rhine's request with a smile: "But it is the church where you are imprisoned. You have to wait for me to seek the opinion of the archbishop, so now - let's concentrate on finding a way to pass today's trial. Bar."

Euphemia asked with concern: "Are you ready? Today's opponent is much more difficult to deal with than Lady Karina."

Rhine smiled and nodded.

"Well, come on."

Euphemia leaned against Rhine's ear and whispered: "Try not to let the teacher cause destruction in the imperial capital in order to help you pass the trial."

Another space crack opened in front of Rhine.

Euphemia watched Rhine leave with a smile:

"Let Hestia know your thoughts."

.

Yes......

After passing Karina's level, Rhine's next opponents were Heine's seven imperial guards.

Among the Forbidden Army, Hela, Italion and Shia were biased towards Rhine.

However, except for these three, it is extremely difficult to win votes for other people.

And the one who bears the brunt of it is her.

The eldest sister of the Imperial Guard who has the reputation of being the strongest in the world.

Hestia Hein.

Stepping through the deep passage in the portal, Rhine arrived at the interrogation room instantly...

Rhine saw that the most powerful demigod in the history of the empire was already waiting here.

Seeing Rhine, Hestia smiled at Rhine.

Compared to the last time we met, Hestia became even more beautiful. Her blond hair became more dazzling, like flowing gold, and her peerless face added more indescribable divine attraction, making her Like a flame hanging thousands of feet high in the sky, it is born to accept the worship of mortals.

Looking at that beautiful face... A strong desire arose in Rhine's heart.

He couldn't help but feel strong admiration and admiration for Hestia, almost crazy...

But Rhine resisted this physical impulse and responded to Hestia's smile calmly.

Obviously, this also means that the purity of the divine blood in her body has further increased...

This Valkyrie, who is always fighting and preparing for battle, unexpectedly did not wear armor today.

Hestia didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards the cultist Rhine. She stood up politely and saluted the crown prince as usual.

"Good morning, Your Highness."

Of course, Rhine responded respectfully. As Hestia, she saluted Rhine entirely out of her personal upbringing. If she was arrogant enough, then as the incarnation of the goddess, even the emperor should bow to her. kneel.

As soon as Hestia came up, she untied Rhine's shackles and invited Rhine to sit down.

Before the interrogation begins, Hestia has one thing...that she must tell Rhine clearly.

She spoke solemnly:

"Before everything begins, I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness. When I was defeated by the gods who invaded the imperial capital, Your Highness should have attracted her attention and allowed me to save my life - thanks to His Highness for saving my life. I owe you a favor, Your Highness."

Histia's attitude is very sincere. This upright woman always treats the kindness given to her by the people around her very seriously.

However, Rhine didn't know whether he should accept this gratitude.

Rhine smiled bitterly: "But you must also know, Your Excellency Hestia, I was the one who caused all those troubles - I caused you trouble."

Hestia smiled, and she said calmly: "This is nothing, Your Highness, it is my mission to solve problems for others. I run around in the mortal world every day, and the work I do has always been like this - but this time I It failed, but you did an excellent job solving the crisis for me."

Histia still looked at Rhine with respect.

"You created a trouble, but you solved it yourself. You won yourself the support of a god. Everything is under your control. I don't know why I should blame you. You have done It’s beautiful enough for me to admire.”

"So... I hope I will have the opportunity to repay your kindness in the future, Your Highness."

After expressing her gratitude, it was time for Hestia to get to the main topic of the day...

Histia sighed, and then the smile disappeared from her face.

"I regret that things have reached this point. I now need to give you what I think is the fairest trial."

Rhine nodded: "You should be like this."

Hestia "Then..."

Hestia walked to the table nearby and handed an iron sword placed there to Rhine.

"Beth told me that I don't need to follow the rules, I just need to get the answers from you in my own way. So..."
