Chapter 100 The sun is shining, perfect for a spring outing
"The third rule of the Holy Worm Parable: Members of the royal family may declare war on the new emperor before he ascends the throne, but they are not allowed to fight in their true form, and the new emperor cannot refuse. The challenger who wins will immediately become the new emperor. If the new emperor wins, the challenger's head will be chopped off."
An annotation to the third article of the Holy Insect Parable appeared on the big screen, and it was specifically noted below that during the challenge, no insect was allowed to interfere. Any interference would be regarded as blasphemy against the Insect God, and the insect's rights would be directly deprived and demoted to slavery.
For a moment, the entire square was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Those who supported the new emperor were uneasy. Everyone knew that before the accident of the third prince, his fighting ability was the strongest among all the royal family members.
As for why the third prince was declared missing half a year ago, many people understood in their hearts that it was the new emperor who took action. He would never tolerate the survival of his younger brother, who posed the greatest threat to him.
But who would have thought that despite all the precautions and every possible means, it still couldn't be prevented.
"Damn it!" The Second Prince frowned. What was wrong with the Ryan family? Didn't they say they had brainwashed him into a slave? Why was he standing in the square now? Did the Ryan family betray them?
Sure enough, he should have listened to his elder brother and killed him directly instead of sending him to Ryan's underground laboratory to humiliate him.
"Second brother, you have to calm down." The fourth prince came up to the second prince with a smile. His pair of pink eyes looked very harmless, just like the feeling he had given to insects in the past. Even though he was a prince, he was intoxicated by the bright lights and feasting, and did not fight for power or profit.
"Get out." The second prince felt that the fourth prince came here just to laugh at him.
The fifth prince did not come over. He looked at the two insects in the square. Perhaps in the eyes of all the insects, the third brother would definitely win, but only he knew what kind of torture the third brother had suffered in Ryan's laboratory. Even after half a year of emergency repairs, he could not return to his peak.
He once tried to dissuade his third brother from using the sacred insect metaphor for the third one, but he refused, saying that he must defeat his eldest brother fairly.
Center of the square
"You are not dead." The new emperor sneered and slowly pulled off the white gloves on his hands.
"I can't bear to die without fighting with my eldest brother." The silver-haired female insect had cold eyes. If he died, his beloved younger brother would become a plaything of the powerful again.
That was the flame that was preserved with his life, and it was also the last mercy of my father.
How dare he announce that he would marry his younger brother, his biological younger brother, the first moment after ascending the throne?
The silver-haired female insect never thought of standing against this big brother, but the day she discovered his intention, they would fight to the death!
"Okay, then let's see how much you've grown." The new emperor didn't waste any words. He stretched out his hand and handed over his usual long sword.
The two insects rushed towards each other quickly, and the big screen transmitted the figures of the two insects to the entire galaxy.
The agile body moves and turns.
The long swords collided, sparks flying, and the sharp sound of collision pierced the eardrums.
All the insects held their breath, afraid of missing any excitement.
One minute
Five minutes
Ten minutes
The two insects separated, and sweat flowed down from their foreheads, wetting their hair.
But in a moment, they rushed together again.
Muscles bulged, forces collided, and both swords flew away.
The insects cried out in surprise, but the two insects did not stop. Their fight was a life-and-death struggle, not a game of playing house as they did when they were children.
Punch after punch, each one hitting the flesh.
Blood wet the corners of his lips.
Punch after punch broke his ribs and damaged his internal organs.
He had been the older brother he admired, strict but kind.
He was half-kneeling, vomiting blood in large mouthfuls. His body had never been fully repaired and became even more broken.
"If you admit defeat now, I can spare your life." The new emperor was high above everyone else, showing his mercy in front of the people.
"But you still want to marry him, right?" The silver-haired female insect looked at his eldest brother, trying to find hesitation in his eyes.
"He will be the best father, and you and I are the best proof, aren't we?" The new emperor was unmoved. For him, making the next generation stronger was his pursuit.
Their conversation was not spread out, but the fifth prince, who had strong mental strength, heard it. His eyes darkened, and he finally understood why his third brother, who had always disagreed with his proposal, suddenly supported him with all his strength.
Haha! This rotten world really needs to be destroyed sooner rather than later.
The Third Prince stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared, "Fight!"
He rushed towards the new emperor fiercely. The new emperor clenched his fist, ready to give his disobedient brother a fatal blow. However, when the fist hit him, he suddenly couldn't move.
He flew up, and his chest collapsed as expected. In his peripheral vision, he saw the male insect with purple hair and purple eyes, smiling at him. His crimson lips parted slightly, and he said silently,
'Goodbye, my big brother!'
His body fell heavily to the ground with a loud 'bang'.
Everything happened so fast that no one knew why the new emperor was so sure of victory just now, but was knocked out the next moment.
The new emperor struggled to get up from the ground, but his head felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles. The moment his consciousness went dark, he remembered what his father had said.
"They are beautiful, but also the most dangerous. Don't let them grow up, otherwise -"
What was he thinking then? What use was that beautiful piece of trash, other than being used to produce powerful offspring?
The era of male and female co-rule has long passed. Female insects are the kings of this world and the most powerful existence!
The silver-haired female insect stood beside the corpse of the new emperor, her face covered in blood. There was no joy in her eyes, only endless sadness. She raised her eyes to look at the insects in an uproar, and strode towards the fifth prince.
He pulled him and walked towards the altar step by step.
The priest on the altar took a few steps back due to the smell of blood, and almost dropped the crown in his hand.
The silver-haired female insect snatched the crown directly from the priest's hand, and under the gaze of all the insects, she solemnly placed the crown on the head of the purple-haired male insect.
He loudly announced to all the insects that the first male insect king was born in nearly a thousand years.
"Congratulations to the new emperor!"
The originally noisy square was once again boiling over. The uninformed people looked at the male insect's face shining brightly under the crown and were at a loss.
But the next moment, they saw the purple-haired male insect smiling and issuing new decrees.
The old emperor's supporters wanted to resist, but were suppressed by the female soldiers who arrived at some point and forced to kneel on the ground. Their arms were all wrapped with purple ribbons.
The second prince watched with bloodshot eyes as his most beloved elder brother was beaten to death in front of him. He roared and wanted to rush to the altar, but was easily pinned to the ground by the pink-haired female insect beside him.
He turned his head and saw the purple ribbon wrapped around the pink-haired female's wrist.
"When?" The second prince growled. He didn't understand how this useless and weak brother could suddenly become so powerful.
"When you pulled him into the room!" The pink-haired female insect was still laughing, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He still clearly remembered the lively and cheerful little male insect who had happily told him the day before that the sunshine was perfect for a spring outing, and who committed suicide the next day in his favorite room with bruises all over his body. The blood-red stained his favorite pink sheets and his eyes.
The new Insect King waved his hand, and the sinful insects were pressed onto the square one by one.
Among them are well-dressed aristocrats, female officials and soldiers who are just sitting in their posts doing nothing, and even handsome male insects who torture and kill female insects.
The evidences stirred the emotions of all the insects. At this time, no insect would question the majesty of the male insect king.
"The evidence of your crimes is overwhelming and too numerous to list. I sentence you to death!" The male insect king's voice fell.
The snow-white blade fell, blood splattered, dyeing the entire square red.
The pink-haired female insect watched the golden head roll to the ground. He looked up at the sky. The dazzling sunlight made his eyes blurry. He murmured softly,
"The sun is shining, perfect for a spring outing."
