Symphony for the Insect Princess

Qimila scrambled to hide behind a collapsed building, but the puppets unleashed a barrage of grenades from the cannons on their arms, instantly destroying the ruins! Before Qimila could even dodge, they rushed forward with a piercing electric sound, each of their movements as fast as a ghost!

This is not good, this is not good, this is not good, ahh ...

Click! ! !

Qimila closed her eyes and covered her head, not knowing whether she was afraid of death or afraid of going berserk. The sharp sound of metal collision almost made her feel cold to the bone. However, after a few seconds, she found that she was not missing any parts.

Click, click, click...

The enchanted card and the puppet's blade collided, and dazzling sparks flew at the intersection, but he still looked at ease.

Zheng! ! !

The second card flew across the space, and with one strike, it cut off half of the puppet's head.

"Are you all right, Miss Elonmead?"

The reliable butler bowed very gentlemanly, held the stunned Qimila's hand and helped her up from the ground.

Tips for Aisia's Special Portable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb☆

It has a plain cylindrical appearance and only one easy-to-operate button. Pressing it once stops the explosion, pressing it twice causes it to explode after a countdown of ten seconds, and pressing it three times skips the countdown and detonates directly.

The basic internal structure is not much different from the old EMP on Earth, but an amplification module made using cutting-edge alchemical technology has been added, which can amplify the microwaves released during the explosion by more than a hundred times.

Not only that, it also introduced micron-level inscription technology and butterfly-type magic wave oscillator, which can emit ultra-high frequency magic waves while releasing microwaves. Combined with microwaves, it has a one-hit kill effect on most magic engineering products.

The patent belongs to Aisia☆

Finally, we have cracked the space composed of nanorobots...or the realm of the Sage of All Skills.

The body of the Sage of All Skills - his brain, was immersed in a transparent container filled with yellow-green liquid, emitting a strange rhythm.

It looks fragile, but it exudes a strange sense of oppression.

Aisia just glanced away and glanced at the surrounding electronic devices.

"Ah...ah...I see. At the moment of the explosion, your nanobots formed a barrier, forcibly absorbing all the microwave impact, so the equipment in the main control room was not destroyed."

Or--

"Is it simply that the protective measures in this room are very good?"

The second portable EMP was detonated in a split second from the thought to the action. Detonating the EMP in the main control room was theoretically enough to paralyze the Atlas.

However, it didn't. Everything around was operating as usual, and the vibration coming from outside did not stop.

"...As expected, the things here are not susceptible to EMP."

"Hmph, I won't allow my Atlas to have any weaknesses. I took electromagnetic pulse attacks into consideration during the design phase."

A cold mechanical sound came from the speaker in the corner.

"But your nanobots can't withstand EMP."

"Don't push me too hard," a holographic image appeared before his head. It was none other than Oshimir, wearing a mask and a white coat. "Nanobots, nanoscale! Anything this small is going to be difficult. I'm racking my brains just trying to fit them into the domain, so how can I have the time to think about this?"

"'Mechanization of the Domain', such a crazy idea, only you can realize it, right?"

"No, no, no, that Iron King from Masiaro can do it if he wants."

The hologram shrugged. It was lifelike, but with the brain behind it... it was just too weird.

"Don't you think there are more important things to pay attention to?"

"Something that should...be paid more attention to?"

Aisia looked around.

Then I discovered it.

There were only two people in the huge room, her and Oshimir.

Charlotte, who had been decomposed in the space composed of nanorobots, was still nowhere to be seen.

"Honestly… I thought she would reappear once the nanobots were all dead."

"Impossible, impossible. The so-called decomposition is actually the process of nanorobots fusing with matter and then dispersing with the matter's constituent particles. If most of them were still there, the human body could be restored, but now it's too late!"

Click--click-click-click-click-click-click-click!!

With a sharp metallic clang, the walls and ceiling of the entire control room reassembled with such speed and scale that it almost reminded one of an explosion! In an instant, the walls of the room transformed into the skin of an inverted hedgehog, each spine a strange weapon—an electromagnetic cannon, a laser cannon, a Gauss rifle, a cation cannon, a freeze gun, a disintegrator, a warp bomb, and so on—all pointed at Aisia!

"...Your hospitality is truly heartfelt. Even for you, there are quite a few hidden gems among these, right?"

"of course?"

"You want to kill me? Your most perfect creation?"

After Charlotte disappeared, Aisia was left alone and helpless. She tried to keep her voice calm, but there was a slight tremor at the end of her words. Oshimir certainly did not miss this detail.

"You're afraid, Aisia."

"laugh at me?"

"It's not a mockery, it's admiration. I've found that when creating androids, the most difficult emotions to reproduce are 'love' and 'fear', and you've embodied both very well."

"...Then I should be truly honored."

"But don't be afraid, really. I will definitely destroy any flawed work because I cannot tolerate its existence... But you are different. Or rather, your value to me is enough to cover up your flaws."

"My flaw?"

"Yes, flaws. You are perfect with only one flaw—"

The hologram's head shook, and even though he was wearing a mask, he could still be seen smiling.

"—Trying to kill me, your creator, is too much, right? No one wants their creation to disobey them, right? Naughty children deserve a spanking. It's necessary to use pain to develop conditioned reflexes. Don't worry, I won't kill you, I'll just make you... live a life worse than death!"

Thousands of weapons of all kinds flashed simultaneously, a vast accumulation of energy, locking onto Asia from all sides. There was no escape, no defense, no resistance. Asia instantly drew her grenade launcher and aimed at Oshimir's brain, but the grenade stopped a meter away, stalled, and fell to the ground!

"Tsk——"

The bombardment of large-caliber revolvers, the bombardment of grenades, the sniping of rifles, the bursts of machine gun fire—all of them were useless! Everything that was fired was blocked!

"Hey, hey, don't waste your ammunition. It's useless, useless, useless. Even if you can penetrate the repulsion barrier—"

"RPG!!!"

Boom boom boom boom!!!!!!

The explosion of the modified rocket covered everything, with ultra-high temperature, ultra-toxicity, and ultra-radiation. Even the Atlas's external armor could not withstand this explosion.

“—It’s no use.”

However, the explosion did not spread out, nor did it affect other equipment. The transparent container containing the brain remained strong, without even a scratch, and the brain soaked inside did not shake at all.

"Come, my work, my 'daughter', Aisia, pay a small price for your willfulness."

All weapons are charged and ready to launch.

"You are indeed quite powerful, but if I am defeated simply because of this... then I am not worthy of being called a sage."

emission--

——However, just a moment before that,

"Then stop being a sage."

The voice of a mature woman suddenly sounded in Oshimir's mind.

Chapter 165 Spirit (Part )

One day ago——

“Uh ...

"Please be quiet..."

The wails of ghosts and gods echoed in the space transformed by the great secret treasure - the insect warehouse. The surrounding insects like a tide hid in the darkness one after another. No insect likes noise.

“No no no no stop stop – ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it hurts stop stop stop stop stop stop you lowly canine-born woman!!!!”

"'A lowly woman born of a female canine'... Oh, why don't you just say 'a stinky son of a bitch'?"

"You stinky son of a bitch!!!!!!"

"Very good, children, eat his left eyeball."

“Jiyyaa ...

Screams, screams, cries of agony—this casually captured assistant of Oshimir had become a mass of agony. Nellis's torture methods were always simple. First, she'd let all sorts of insects—big and small, long-legged, wriggling, wet and dry—swarm over his body, causing him to nearly collapse. Then, she'd begin nibbling at the most sensitive nerve endings, devouring his fingers, toes, and genitals while trying to keep him unconscious. By the time a new batch of insects had laid eggs beneath his skin, he'd practically confessed.

Although we haven't reached that stage yet.

"Gu... cough cough... count it out... please... I'll do anything..."

"No, you must know what Oshimir's domain is."

"I……"

"Actually, I could just use the brain worms to eat your brain and extract your memories," Nelris held up a large mass of wriggling flesh worms, "but I won't do that because I don't believe Oshimir hasn't tampered with your brains, so I hope you can tell me in person."

"I...but..."

"Otherwise, you have two choices: one is to let the blood flies in estrus mate and lay eggs under your skin, acting as a breeding ground—"

She pointed to the strange flying insects circling on the left, seemingly eager to try something new.

"Or, let these pervert mutants crush every hole in my body, including my urethra, nostrils, ear canals, and even my tear glands."

She pointed to a large mass wriggling on the right, each strand as thick as a thermos.

"You...I...Okay...I'll tell you..."

……

……

……

After feeding the remains of Assistant-kun to the insects as a snack, Nelris left the insect warehouse and called Aisia and Charlotte.

(That's it. The characteristics of Oshimir's domain. Remember it?)

((Remember this!))

(Battle plan... I don't need to elaborate, right? Asia, you must act convincingly. Charlotte, you too, your mission is more important.)

(Leave it to me, Nier!)

(I'll try my best... 'Tying with the decomposition of the physical body to transform into a spirit body' is quite difficult.)

(Please do your best. You must know that the power source of Atlas is a great secret treasure. If you want to destroy it——)

--------------

Snap, snap, snap—

The countless guns and cannons that were ready to fire just a second ago now dropped down, and the accumulated energy disappeared. Aisia escaped safely only because their controllers were invaded by foreign objects.

Gulu gulu...

Bubbles continued to rise from the yellow-green liquid that soaked the brain, and the yellow-green halo it emitted flickered. All the values ​​on the several instrument panels connected to it soared red, and the warning lights kept flashing.

Oshimir's mind was under direct attack from without. It was a bone-chilling chill that continued to burrow deeper into his mind like a maggot on his tarsal bones! He could vaguely sense that the intruder was a 'female' figure. It was definitely Charlotte Phoenix!

"You—this—spiritual form? Damn it—"

His electronic voice also became intermittent.

"I thought your body disappeared because it was disintegrated, but it turns out you simply transformed into a spirit body to coincide with the timing of the nanobot attack!?"

"Don't tell me you don't know about spiritualization..."

"How could I not know that—but isn't that the blasphemous Demon King's trick? How could you—wait, could it be!?"

"I... am something like his successor, but it doesn't matter what happens. The point is—"

Hiss, hiss, hiss! The cold waves completely covered Oshimir's brain, tightly wrapping it and penetrating every pore.

"—You've already lost!"

Spiritualization.

The signature skill of the blasphemous Demon King back then was the ability to completely transform the physical body into a spirit, or a state infinitely similar to a spirit. In this state, the blasphemous Demon King was immune to most physical and magical interference, and could directly interfere with the minds of others. If used by the blasphemous Demon King himself, this skill could easily kill people from a distance.
