Chapter 133 Mayflies and Spirit Insects?
The Mayfly King, its tentacle struck by the Leyu, flashed a glint of ferocity in its eyes and sneered, "Don't be too happy yet. Even if I die, you won't be able to leave the Singularity!"
"What if I take you hostage?" Liu Bai narrowed his eyes, looking at the large dragonfly at his feet. "Would your people abandon you?"
"Kidnap me? Do you know how many years I've lived on this planet?" The Dragonfly King grinned as if he had heard a joke, then widened his beady eyes.
"I've lost count of how many eras have passed."
"9
"But during this time, I have lost count of how many times my dear compatriots rebelled, and how many people regarded me as a dictator!"
After saying that, the Mayfly King looked at Liu Bai and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Do you believe that if they kidnap me, they'll attack you directly?"
Liu Bai did not respond, but squinted his eyes.
The information he saw on the stone tablet was that the mayfly civilization greatly worshipped the mayfly king, just like religious believers.
Of course, history is written by the victors, so it could also be false.
But it's clearly impossible that if he brought the mayfly king to the mayflies, they would immediately attack him.
After all, this dragonfly is the ruler of the mayfly civilization, and the person who gave the order must be one of its confidants.
Besides the above, Liu Bai also felt that something was not quite right.
The Mayfly King is a power user, but he didn't notice it using its abilities during their initial encounter.
Is the Ephemeral King not a power user?
Thinking of this, Liu Bai looked at the Mayfly King lying on the ground, green blood gushing out, and asked, "Which number of ability users are you in your civilization?"
"Hehe." The Mayfly King looked like he could kill or torture anyone he wanted, but a cold smile just appeared on his face before he suddenly frowned.
Puff!
A mouthful of green blood spurted from the mayfly king's mouth, and then he lay motionless on the ground.
Seeing the mayfly king fall, Leyu quickly went over and used its three tentacles to touch the mayfly king.
A moment later, he turned to Liu Bai and said, "He's just too badly injured and has fainted."
Upon hearing that he had only fainted, Liu Bai nodded and asked, "Did you bring any interrogation tools or tools to make someone talk?"
"This kind of prop?" Le Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I do have tools for discerning the truth, but I'm not prepared for interrogation."
Seeing this, Liu Bai had no choice but to say, "Then let's take him to the vicinity of the singularity and see if we can rely on him to retreat."
If we can't get any answers, then we can only try to retreat first.
Regardless of whether the Mayfly King is a power user or not, it is now severely injured and in his hands.
Even if they do possess some hidden abilities, they can't cause any trouble.
"Alright." Leyu immediately agreed, then used two tentacles to bind the mayfly king and said, "No matter how much these mayflies hate a civilized king, they can't just ignore him."
He didn't take the Mayfly King's words to heart at all; all he wanted to do now was leave.
Liu Bai nodded in agreement, then looked at the mayfly king, which was highly similar to the spirit insect race, and casually asked, "Brother Le, when did the spirit insect race appear? Could it be that the mayfly is the predecessor of the spirit insect?"
"Spirit insects—" Le Yu loosened the tentacles binding the giant dragonfly slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Spirit insects appeared in Star City more than a thousand years ago. As for why they all look the same—"
A solemn expression appeared on his face. His dark eyes scanned the surroundings, and he lowered his voice, saying, "I think the same way you do right now. The predecessor of the Spirit Insect Clan was most likely a mayfly that transformed into a half-spirit."
"Is there any way to verify this?" Liu Bai's eyes sharpened.
"I'm just guessing, after all, the timing of the two events is too coincidental." Le Yu shook his head. "As for confirmation, I need to return to the Zhi Civilization to find a way, since the Spirit Insects are a fifth-tier power."
"Alright."
Although he didn't get a definite answer, Liu Bai felt somewhat regretful.
If the predecessor of the Spirit Insect Clan was indeed the mayfly, then sending someone to kill it would be quite reasonable.
After all, he had never offended the Spirit Insect Clan before; only his future self, at the singularity in the past, could have offended the Spirit Insect Clan.
Of course, this is just speculation, and he has no way of confirming it at the moment.
"But just in case—" Liu Bai looked at the Mayfly King with an unfriendly expression.
In his next playthrough, he plans to rewind to the point when he first emerged from the singularity and then conceal his identity.
Furthermore, to be on the safe side, he must kill all the demi-gods of this civilization when he leaves the singularity!
After all, a fifth-tier power is far beyond what he can afford to offend at his current level.
He didn't want to return to Star City and be attacked by spirit insects again.
"Brother Liu, you don't intend to kill him, do you?" Le Yu frowned slightly upon seeing Liu Bai's unfriendly gaze. "If the mayfly is truly the precursor to the insect spirit, then this is an enormous karmic debt!"
"The origin of a fifth-tier power—that already has the potential to influence the entire galaxy!"
"Moreover, our main task after we come in is to deal with spirits, including all creatures such as half-spirits. Unless we are in dire straits, we cannot kill them."
"No, if this really is the precursor to the spirit insect, then I certainly wouldn't kill it," Liu Bai replied absentmindedly, then waved his hand.
"Let's go, let's go to the location of the singularity first."
Killing the Ephemeral King would attract the attention of the Time and Space Administration, but to be honest, he didn't care much.
What gives him the confidence to do this is that he can bring back special features when he rolls back.
The Mayfly King has replaced the original's traits, so all he needs to do in this playthrough is kill the Mayfly King and steal his traits.
During the next playthrough's rollback, the Mayfly King will die instantly because it has lost its special ability. Then, just stick close to the main group and don't get too close to the Mayfly King's location.
Who will be able to find out that he did it?
Thinking about all this, Liu Bai walked out of the circular building.
Le Yu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Liu Bai had no intention of killing the Mayfly King.
If the Mayfly King is indeed the origin of the Spirit Insect Clan, then all the ability users who entered this time may be punished by the Time and Space Administration.
And it's the most severe kind!
After all, the loss of a fifth-tier power would cause an earthquake throughout the entire galaxy.
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Leyu's spine. He used his tentacles to bind the unconscious Mayfly King and quickly followed Liu Bai.
At this moment, the area outside the underground plaza was completely empty.
While Liu Bai was fighting the Mayfly King, he casually killed all the mayflies that surrounded him.
Therefore, there are only the three of them in the underground plaza now; the rest of the mayflies should have already gone to deal with the ability users.
Da da da.
When Liu Bai arrived at the exit of the underground plaza, Le Yu took out the sphere again and opened the underground door.
Liu Bai took the opportunity to check the time.
【7:32】
Five minutes until the robots can see them.
Liu Bai said no more and headed straight for the singularity.
He's very curious now.
"Now that I've controlled the Mayfly King, will the robot still be able to see me after five minutes, even though I've applied the ignore-the-poison?"
