Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

As he wildly turned to attack, Uffie had already leapt behind another warrior and injected the Blood Collection Bottle.

"Eh?"

The bloodshot eyes of the two Dragonized Warriors suddenly cleared for a moment, revealing confusion about why they were here, seemingly regaining consciousness!

"General Uffie?"

They voiced their doubt.

Great, it works! Uffie clenched her fist, feeling a joy in her heart, even ignoring the Flying Dragon charging at her, and looked straight at the Soldiers of Warrior Country coming over in droves.

King Ule, hoping Uffie would show mercy, deliberately didn't change their physical appearance. Therefore, the parasitism only maintained mind control without further mutation and enhancement, and now it backfires!

The two Dragonized Warriors wanted to ask Uffie what was happening, but suddenly their previously clear eyes quickly became bloodshot again, the parasite's control effect reinstating, but they were knocked unconscious the next moment!

Falling from this height won't kill the Dragonized Warriors. Since it's proven the Blood Collection Bottle is effective, Uffie can now act freely.

When they hit the ground again, two more Blood Collection Bottles appeared on them, the color more concentrated than the ordinary ones. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yusefka's Blood Collection Bottle, with a stronger parasite-suppressing effect!

There are quite a few of Yusefka's Blood Collection Bottles, which Uffie had survivors acquire before setting off; everyone went to Yusefka's, the Dungeon's residual shadow, to help her get a bottle, lest they all become dried-up men after this wave.

Using the ability to differentiate strength, Uffie rushed into the crowd, injecting ordinary Blood Collection Bottles to those with average strength and Yusefka's Blood Collection Bottles to those with good strength.

Even if it can't cure, short resistance to the parasites is enough. Uffie's aim is to prevent the parasites from having free rein over her subordinates during the efficacy period of the Blood Collection Bottles, and she is confident she'll kill the red Insect King within that time!

Without intelligent parasite guidance, ordinary parasites in other bodies generally won't proactively cause mutation!

While fending off various attacks and weaving through the crowd, Uffie injected Blood Collection Bottles and knocked people unconscious in passing. The two Flying Dragons pursued closely but didn't attack fallen people due to the parasites, only chasing Uffie.

Fanen, while repelling parasites, observed the status of the fallen, appropriately supplementing with a Blood Collection Bottle. For a time, the two coordinated seamlessly, as if well-rehearsed.

"What is this!?"

King Ule sensed something amiss when the first Blood Collection Bottle took effect, but he only now reacted, exclaiming incredulously.

A simple bottle of blood can repel parasites, what a joke! Hidden Blood Parasites are the strongest existence in parasitism globally!

Though he said this, when he attempted to sense other parasites to contact the blood in the Blood Collection Bottle, the Pseudo-Insect King behind him issued a strong warning not to recklessly touch that blood.

That thing is extremely dangerous!

King Ule was silent for a moment, sighed, and muttered:

"Humans indeed are more capable than I thought."

A strong malice flashed across his face, and he smashed the round table in front of him with a fierce punch.

"I will never let you have your way!"

If Uffie really succeeds, wouldn't he, who surrendered to the Evil God and wholeheartedly served the parasites, become a clown!

The Underground Space trembled again, heaps of meat balls ruptured, parasites combined into humanoid Elite Monsters, hundreds appearing in the blink of an eye—this number posed a substantial challenge for Uffie.

Meanwhile, those soldiers not yet injected with Blood Collection Bottles rapidly mutated, becoming as grotesque as possible, greatly enhancing their strength!

Since Uffie found a way to save people, Ule must stop her from succeeding!

Uffie had no time to inject the Blood Collection Bottle when a person in front mutated into a swollen ball and exploded with a "bang," spreading filthy blood everywhere!

"..."

Uffie stood still, unharmed by the explosion, her face quickly cooling as she lowered the arm holding the Blood Collection Bottle.

Around her, more soldiers with distorted faces, seemingly beyond rescue, rushed towards her.

"Although I anticipated this situation and have been saving people as fast as possible... I'm still too late."

Compared to the mutated soldiers, those she saved seemed less than one-tenth.

Painful sacrifice.

Thinking differently, if she hadn't initiated a battle upon entering the Capital, but rather investigated secretly like Fanen suggested, stealthily injecting Blood Collection Bottles into soldiers, would the casualties be less?

Not quite, because if she hadn't caused a ruckus today, the soldiers along with the Flying Dragon would immediately be made into meatballs for the Insect King.

Today was originally the Insect King's birth day.

Her reckless approach proved more effective instead, for she at least saved some people.

"Hoo..."

Uffie exhaled a breath of impure air as a soldier, whose body was bloated like a giant, lunged forward.

Her figure vanished instantly, and in the next moment, the soldier was suddenly split into dozens of pieces.

Uffie looked fierce, filled with anger and compassion.

"I'll first grant you liberation, then slowly settle things with the scoundrel behind the scenes!"

She mercilessly attacked the mutated soldiers!

"To strike down her former subordinates without hesitation, I underestimated her."

King Ule muttered to himself, yet a vicious smile appeared on his lips.

"But she's still ultimately constrained by emotion, wanting to liberate her subordinates first? That's excellent, by the time she slaughters them, the Insect King will already be born!"

Just as he was about to laugh, he suddenly saw Uffie's figure disappear from view.

No need to worry about that, as she'll only seek to kill her former subordinates—thinking this, he relaxed slightly.

The smile on King Ule's face hadn't lasted a few seconds when sudden piercing pain struck his mind like lightning, and then upon looking again—

Just when had Uffie broken through an unremarkable rock wall, where a gigantic insect egg was hidden, the Insect King's egg!

This was where the red light emerged from earlier!

And her spear was deeply thrust into the insect egg!

As if aware someone was watching, Uffie twisted the spear, causing the egg to spill copious amounts of blood, and said:

"The words earlier were deliberately spoken to deceive you."

Despite seeing her subordinates mutate, she hadn't forgotten her original goal to kill the Insect King.

"Aaaaah!"

The insect egg suffered severe damage, and King Ule screamed a death-like wail, seemingly empathetically.

He had no time to deal with Uffie, stumbling to push through the puppet-like people around him, franticly running to the observation deck, almost indistinguishably wailing into the night sky.

In the face of death's terror, his first thought was to pray to the Evil God, pleading for the descent of Divine Power to save him!

However, the usually responsive prayer strangely failed today, no matter his cries yielded no reply.

Despair appeared in King Ule's eyes.

Oh, God, are you asleep!!!

This panic wasn't because of the potential demise linked to the insect egg's death, but due to something else.

If heavily injured before the Insect King's scheduled birth—

"It's over."

Uffie pierced the insect egg, feeling its life gradually vanish, about to pull out her spear.

Yet in the next moment, the insect egg suddenly bloomed!

"What——"

The giant insect egg blossomed like a flower, its opened flesh fiercely binding her limbs; the next moment, she was swallowed whole.

And at the insect egg's core, a powerful life opened its eyes.

If severely injured before the Insect King's intended birth date,

the irrational Insect King would experience premature birth.
