Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 986: Chapter 683: Call Me the Volcano Butterfly King

Outside the city wall, a wasteland of scattered rocks.

A gray-white crystal-structured Rock Python over three hundred meters long slithered forward in coils, sometimes darting forward, sometimes looping and leaping, sometimes sweeping its tail sideways and pounding down, booming crashes echoing as the earth shook.

Dragon Cypress was rigorously training his Earth System Crystal Python ability.

A butterfly-shaped Narrow Beast soared high in the sky and dove down.

Green Heart burst out of the cloud mist, speeding over.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

"Green Heart."

The Crystal Python coiled and lifted its head high; Dragon Cypress’s figure emerged, standing atop the giant python’s head.

Purple followed close behind, standing on the Narrow Beast’s head, beating her wings in greeting.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

"Purple, Green Heart, you two need something?"

"Please address me as Volcano Butterfly King."

"???"

"The Volcano Ant King and the Single-Feather Bee King, they’ve all left." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Purple raised her tentacles high, aura brimming with confidence.

"Now, I’m the biggest in the Volcano Kingdom! I’m the oldest, the most senior, the strongest; I am the new generation Volcano Butterfly King! All affairs of the Volcano Kingdom are fully under my charge, including the trade of Divine-Grade Volcano Fruit."

"???"

This works too?

Butterfly, you dare flip host and guest?!

Dragon Cypress was honestly speechless at this Purple fellow, and turned his head to look at Green Heart.

Green Heart mumbled, "I’m not strong enough... I haven’t comprehended the Sea Beast Devouring Ability... I’m still just an unknown Dragonfly Warrior from Mighty Spirit Mountain..."

"Oh..."

From the tone, you also wanted to usurp the throne and failed? Dragon Cypress choked again, then asked, "Purple, Green Heart, you two came all the way here to..."

"Volcano Butterfly King!"

Purple sternly corrected him, then drawled, "When I was little, the one I envied most was the Volcano Ant King. Every insect had to treat it politely, even ones like the One Fruit Bee Queen, that famed Leader of the Wave Tree Bay Alliance... Great Leader Dragon Cypress, can’t you speak a bit more politely?"

Dragon Cypress: "...Fine. Volcano Butterfly King."

Purple twitched her tentacles in satisfaction, then said solemnly, "Here’s the thing: Ink Orchid asked us to come over and ask whether we can start preparing for the next activation of the Ocean God’s Scepter."

"...No need to prepare."

Dragon Cypress explained, "For the next activation of the Scepter, under normal odds, there should be about 10 Insect Clan Warriors who comprehend the Sea Beast Devouring Ability."

"Beyond those normal odds, the Mountain Pepper Ant King, Snow Velvet Spider King, Blood Root Spider King and the other six Old Insect Kings have used the Sea God Fruit; all of them have a chance to comprehend ’Kirin’. Even if they can’t comprehend Kirin, their chance to comprehend Sea Beast Devouring is extremely high."

"When the Ocean God’s Scepter is activated next time, it’s very likely we’ll run into a shortage of Primordial Energy. Arranging for Silver Cypress and Rainbow Parasol Tree to give it a try will be enough. As for Mantis King Ink Orchid, Cypress, and Black Sophora, they should hold off for now and try again the time after that."

"Leaving the Assistant King aside, Mantis King Ink Orchid’s chance to comprehend the Kirin Beast is extremely high. If it succeeds, the Scepter’s Primordial Energy definitely won’t be enough; I’m afraid even Source Stone won’t be able to make up the difference."

Purple: "Ooh—"

Green Heart: "Got it."

Dragon Cypress: "Purple, Green Heart, how did you two get in touch with Ink Orchid?"

Purple: "We passed by the Thousand-Reef Archipelago and happened to run into Ink Orchid over there searching for a Divine-Given Seed."

They clearly rehearsed their lines before coming,

but Green Heart wasn’t good at lying; his head twisted uneasily as he stammered, "By chance, Purple and I didn’t have anything else to do... so, we helped Mantis King Ink Orchid make a run..."

By chance?

Dragon Cypress advised, "You two should stop wandering around all day. Calm down and train your abilities, condense a couple more Divine Marks."

"Wandering?"

Purple protested, "We’re traveling on official business. Serious business. We’re busy, okay? We took this trip in the middle of our busy schedule. Ant, don’t slander insects at random."

Green Heart also argued, "Most of the time, we stay in our Territory and practice our abilities in earnest."

"Alright. I believe you."

Dragon Cypress warned, "Ink Orchid has to garrison Rainbow Island. Don’t drag it around running all over the place. Or I’ll have to straighten you two out."

"Ooh—"

"We won’t—"

"We take our leave!"

"Goodbye."

Purple and Green Heart turned around and left.

"Wait."

Dragon Cypress called them back and asked seriously, "Purple, Green Heart, when are you two planning to leave the Star Realm?"

Green Heart: "..."

Purple: "..."

Green Heart: "I’m going with the Dark Maple Dragonfly King."

Purple: "I’m a butterfly; I’m going with the White Crystal Butterfly King."

Of the current seven Leaders of Wave Tree Bay, six would be personally leading teams; the two continents Bayonet and Zhibai, the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom, Dragon Stride Mountain, Wind Phoenix Mountain, Golden Creek and other Major Forces—a huge swarm of over a thousand insects—had long since contacted each other and agreed to leave together.

"Then there’s still a hundred, eighty years..."

Dragon Cypress: "You’re both Insect Clan Warriors good at flying. Rainbow Island produces Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Wind System Talent and comes with a wind-type flight ability. Go find Ink Orchid and have it arrange one for you."

"Alright!"

"Thank you, Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

Purple and Green Heart thanked him in ecstatic delight, suddenly in no hurry to leave.

Purple put away her Narrow Beast ability and fluttered down onto the Rock Python’s head, amiably asking, "Invincible Great Leader Dragon Cypress, you’re practicing Earth System abilities?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Dragon Cypress: "Obviously."

Green Heart hovered at low altitude, spinning in place as he looked around, admiring, "This ability doesn’t look any weaker than Sea Beast Devouring."

"Now that’s way off."

Dragon Cypress wiggled his tentacles and briefly explained, "The Earth System biomimicry-type ability Rock Python, stacked with Earth System solidification and defense-type abilities, looks quite imposing, but in reality it’s dull and stiff, not much combat power."

Purple chimed in, "And it’s not tough enough either! When we attacked the Eight-Direction Continent, I saw some insect using a similar ability; facing a kilometer-long Kirin Beast, it shattered at a touch."

Green Heart asked, "Then Great Leader Dragon Cypress, you’re practicing this ability... to combine it with the Zhen Beast and further strengthen and refine the Zhen Beast Divine Pattern?"

"Of course."

Purple said happily, "The White Crystal Butterfly King agreed to help trade for a Divine-Grade Hydromedusa Fruit to grant the Water System biomimicry ability ’Hydra’. I’ll use my Divine-Grade Volcano Fruit to trade for a Thousand-Layer Fruit to gain the Fire Mimicry Ability ’Thousand-Layer Flame Feather’. I’m going to optimize my own Sea Beast ’Narrow’ into a Waterfire System dual-type!"
