"The corrupt aura here is truly unpleasant."
The Queen's eyes were gloomy, extremely gloomy.
Through the Imaginary Gate, she arrived at a planet not far from Warahip, a planet that might harbor civilization.
But when she arrived, a sense of disgust continuously welled up from the depths of her heart.
Everywhere lay insect eggs and shattered corpses.
And the foul, Insectoid stench in the air.
The Queen's delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she flew high above the ruined city.
As far as her eyes could see, there were only eggs... until the Queen heard an explosion from a corner of the city.
"Hmm? There seems to be something there."
The Queen watched the rising smoke from the explosion, then gently waved her fair hand, opening an Imaginary Gate connected to that location.
After passing through the gate to the explosion site, the Queen witnessed a scene that enraged her.
She saw a group of Locust-like Insectoids.
The Locust Bug's compound eyes had two horn-like branches, and a pair of leaf-like wings grew on its back.
Its human-like limbs were covered in bark-textured chitin.
One Locust-like Insectoid was eating a head, while another was using its thick tail stinger to pierce a human corpse.
Seeing the wriggling stinger, there was no doubt they were using other races to incubate their offspring.
"..."
The Queen's cherry-pink lips parted slightly, and she slowly took a breath. Then, with a gentle wave of her right arm, a clear, cold voice emerged from her lips.
"Even to Honkai, your existence is an error. Scum, die!"
Golden energy rippled among the Locust-like Insectoids, and then a golden hemispherical cover enveloped countless Locust-like Insectoids and the dying humans.
The Queen's palm faced downwards, slowly closing, and the cover emitted a brilliant golden light.
In a few breaths, the cover dissipated into energy in the world, leaving only a gigantic, smoothly cut hemispherical pit on the ground.
Having finished everything, the Queen's eyes lifted slightly upwards.
Locust Bugs, obscuring the sky, flew in the air, emitting chirping sounds and a language the Queen couldn't understand.
"Hmph, all of you shall become Honkai's sustenance."
The Queen spread her hands, and a spatial barrier appeared above her head. Countless Locust Bugs shrieked as they crashed into the barrier and fell.
Then the Queen gently snapped her fingers, and countless Imaginary Gates, large and small, appeared in the sky and on the ground.
Honkai Beasts poured out from within.
From mosquito-level to Emperor-level, their sheer numbers were hair-raising.
After the Honkai Beasts appeared, they all obeyed the Queen's sole command—
Annihilate the disgusting Locust Bugs within sight!
Each swing of a Chariot-class Honkai Beast's massive body knocked down many surrounding Locust Bugs.
The lasers fired by the Temple-class precisely hit the flying Locust Bugs in the air.
And the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts that appeared this time, Ganesha, Parvati, and Ashura, transformed into meat grinders.
Each time they used their abilities, many insects around them were Frozen or burned.
Perhaps seeing the enemy's strength, a Locust Bug whose physique was noticeably more robust than its kin, flying at the highest point, issued a command.
After the command was issued, the Locust Bugs flew back into the air, seemingly intending to retreat.
Just then, the sky suddenly grew dim, and the air became extremely cold.
A giant spirit wielding an ice sword appeared above the swarm of Locust Bugs, slicing horizontally through the center of the swarm.
In just a brief moment, the swarm of Locust Bugs in the air were Frozen into ice blocks, their faces contorted in fear.
"Explode."
A crisp sound came from above the giant spirit's head. The Frozen Locust Bug swarm instantly burst, turning into a sky full of ice shards.
After eliminating a group of disgusting Followers of Abundance insects, the giant spirit slowly dissipated, and Kiana descended from the sky, flying to the Queen's side.
"Sister, weren't you just wandering around Warahip? How did you end up here?"
"When did I say I was wandering around Warahip? And do I need to tell you where I'm going?"
The Queen glanced at Kiana indifferently, then snorted lightly.
"Alright, alright, you're the older sister, everything you say is right..."
Kiana said somewhat perfunctorily.
Then, looking at the dense swarm of Honkai Beasts on standby, Kiana felt a headache coming on.
With so much Honkai Energy gathered, if it triggered a Great Honkai on this planet, would the remaining indigenous people still be able to live here? Kiana casually opened an Imaginary Gate and sent the Honkai Beasts back to where they came from.
Even the Honkai Beast corpses that were killed by the Locust Bugs were dealt with.
It's better to avoid large-scale appearances of Honkai Energy in the galaxy, mainly because of its strong corrosive nature.
"Meddlesome."
After Kiana finished her work, the Queen said indifferently and then dissipated into fragments of light, vanishing from the spot.
It seemed she had temporarily returned to Kiana's consciousness space.
As for the Throne of Heroes... it was too desolate at the moment; it was better to lie in Kiana's consciousness space and watch the show.
"Ah!"
After the Queen returned, Kiana slapped her forehead, remembering the unhatched insect eggs that hadn't been dealt with yet.
So Kiana awkwardly released the Honkai Beasts again and issued the command to exterminate the insect eggs.
Because the Queen was absent, Kiana was the direct superior of these Honkai Beasts, so they obediently carried out Kiana's orders.
The Honkai Beasts quickly went to various parts of the planet to begin their cleanup.
Kiana searched for survivors alone in the ruined city.
After half a day, she had searched several cities, but without exception, no one survived.
Perhaps they were all captured.
Until Kiana suddenly received a message from a Charger-class Honkai Beast, reporting the discovery of suspected human life and asking whether to attack.
Kiana immediately rejected the attack request, then stepped into an Imaginary Gate and arrived at the coordinates.
"Hmm?"
Kiana emerged to see a group of humans attacking Honkai Beasts with weapons.
The Honkai Beasts, due to Kiana's command, did not retaliate, allowing the human weapons to strike them.
But it had to be said, their weapons had some power; the Chariot-class's armor was already shattered under their attacks.
"Everyone, stop. They are not your enemies."
?!!!
The group of suspected resistance humans, hearing the voice, instinctively aimed their weapons at Kiana.
But upon realizing Kiana had no Locust Bug features, they subtly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you...?"
One of them, a man with a full beard and sharp, hawk-like eyes, gripped his energy gun and asked warily.
Even if she wasn't one of those damned Insectoids, she wasn't a local resident.
Because they currently had no resources to keep a girl so clean, and her attire was not local.
"Ahem, I... I am Kiana, the Taiyin General of the Xianzhou Alliance, from Warahip. Having heard about the Followers of Abundance causing trouble here, I came personally to investigate."
"Xianzhou Alliance..."
"Never heard of it..."
"What is that... are they here to save us...?"
Upon hearing this, the people looked confused, and some gazed at Kiana with hopeful eyes, wishing she had come to save them.
Meanwhile, the man suspected of being their leader frowned, as if deep in thought.
"Xianzhou Alliance... Xianzhou...!"
He murmured the name, and after a moment, his eyes widened as he recalled the galactic powers his elders had spoken of in the past.
