The invisible Void power devoured more than ninety percent of the demonized ants, like a stain in a painting that, with a gentle wipe of an eraser, vanishes without a trace.
There was no process involved; the touched demonized ants simply disappeared, not even leaving ashes behind.
The filthy pit seed as if a powerful cleaning agent had been dropped into it, the blackness retreated instantly, as if the swarm was devoured by invisible air.
Only a thin layer remained at the edges of the ant nest.
No more demonized ants surged out of the nest, and those remaining on the ground, without the support of the Insect Queen, turned into ordinary monsters, even the King Ant devolved.
At only Mature Level and Fierce Level, they were no match for the Hall Level warriors, who eliminated them with ease.
Even Anna could wreak havoc all around, a single spear throw could paralyze for an hour.
The situation changed drastically in the blink of an eye; the Insect Queen was dead, the nest was barely one-tenth intact, and the crisis in the Trident River Region was completely resolved.
Cilly pinched Lannister’s face hard and muttered, "It doesn’t hurt at all, I must be dreaming."
Lannister, "...can you pinch yourself?"
"Shut your mouth! Big liar!"
Herman picked up the Insect Queen’s ashes from her remains.
This was an egg-shaped condensed matter. Since the Insect Queen’s shell carrier was incredibly remarkable, her ashes were very precious and one of the ingredients for making Holy Spirit Potions.
"The Insect Queen is indeed dead..."
Only when the soul dissipates does the shell collapse, and the contained power can then condense into ashes.
He looked into the distance but did not see Rod’s figure.
"Where is he?"
The others stood there blankly, as if in a dream.
In Mushroom City, Frank was using his Inorganic Transformation Characteristic to heal Chucher.
This Guardian, having battled in the Trident River Region for many days, was covered in wounds, and his soul was extrely weak. Still, the Insect Queen’s Ghost Spirit Cannon had not caused him much damage, only agitating the scars in his soul and causing him to faint.
Frank’s Characteristic was Inorganic Transformation, which allowed him to control and change the state, attributes, and properties of inanimate objects within a certain range.
In theory, he could even turn soil directly into potions.
Of course, the more complex the transformation, the higher the Characteristic level and more Spiritual Energy required.
Frank could not do this yet; he had rely altered so of the ingredients in the Healing Potion to stabilize the mind and soul.
After drinking the targeted Healing Potion, Chucher quickly woke up.
His powerful Spiritual Energy imdiately condensed; he jumped up but did not see the Insect Queen.
Looking around, within his field of vision, not many demonized ants remained, and the large pit in the distance was empty, with only a bit of black at the bottom.
"Did Arlan co by?"
Joy filled Chucher’s eyes instantly.
"I knew little Rod could do it, my intuition is never wrong."
Frank scratched the back of his head, hesitating and unsure of what to say.
Ryan whispered, "Professor Chucher... Sir Arlan didn’t co."
"He didn’t co?"
Chucher was startled.
"Is the Insect Queen not dead? But I don’t sense her Spiritual Energy, why is the nest almost empty, who resolved the crisis?"
"Ah... I get it, the Hall must have considered Arlan too tired, and they replaced the Space Waypoint with soone else... Let guess, which Fire Son was it?"
He clapped his hands sharply.
"I know, it was that exhibitionist Luo Weiya, right?"
The group fell silent, no one nodded.
Chucher pondered, "Not him? Right, the Fire Sons probably couldn’t spare anyone... could it be that scoundrel Kai?"
Still, no one nodded, and Tyrion tried to speak up, but Chucher’s robust voice overpowered him.
"Wrong again? Could it be Moonlight Olivia? But that fatty is not good at destruction..."
"Cough!"
Herman forcefully interrupted him; Moonlight Knight Olivia was known for her fiery temper, and if she learned that soone here was calling her a fatty, no one would have a good day.
"Sir Chucher, things are not as you think, for so reason, Rod didn’t use the Space Waypoint, and we currently can’t find his whereabouts..."
Cilly worriedly said, "He didn’t die, did he?"
As soon as she spoke, a shadow fell over everyone’s faces.
Rod had suddenly used such a strong power; by the principle of equivalent exchange, the price he paid was certainly unimaginable.
Sacrificing his life and soul was also a possibility.
But phit spoke again.
"He didn’t die."
"What?"
Everyone turned their gaze toward him.
Cilly urgently said, "How do you know?"
phit simply stated, "I can feel it."
Anna suddenly said, "It’s not the first ti he’s used this tactic; when we were fighting for Star Town, he used it a few tis. We could capture Star Town so quickly partly because of this."
Everyone’s eyes lit up with hope; as long as Rod wasn’t dead, everything was manageable.
Herman asked, "Where is he now, do you know?"
phit briefly replied, "He should be in the Lighthouse."
This was a very reasonable answer.
Herman’s spirits lifted, and he raised his voice, "Then let’s hurry back to the Lighthouse."
The group quickly set off, only Chucher gave phit a sidelong glance before leaving, thinking, "This girl seems a bit different..."
