Chapter 648: Chapter 359: Record Holder Who Is Unknown?_1
Surrounded by several god-level powerhouses, the two insect exterminators couldn’t utter a word before they were hauled back.
After torturing and interrogating them severely, as well as soul-searching them, the situation was cleared up and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s a good thing that the Saltwater insects were cultivated by them and didn’t spread,” Negris let out a sigh of relief.
“We can’t let our guard down. If they are capable of breeding Saltwater insects, so are other insect exterminators. We must think of a solution, at least to provide early warning. Otherwise, none of our cities will survive the onslaught of insects breeding in large numbers in the sea and then rushing ashore all at once,” Tyrone voiced his worries.
The attack of the Four-eyed Flying Fish sent Stellaris Academy into its highest level of alert. Although no damage was done due to Ange, it alarmed Tyrone.
The Republic of Stellaris is situated next to the sea and lacks strategic depth. If Tyrone’s fears were to come true, this place would be in grave danger.
Feeling increasing unease, Tyrone said, “I need to call a dimension safety conference to inform everyone of the situation.”
Auburnli retorted, “It’s almost dawn and the Seed Conference is about to begin. Who has the time for a meeting? Besides, don’t people need their sleep at this hour? Anyway, the infestation has been cleared for now. We can still brief everyone after the Seed Conference ends in three days.”
Tyrone shook his head: “We can’t delay. These insects reproduce fast. Judging from what happened in the Black Mountain Kingdom, their numbers could multiply by thousands overnight. We must ensure everyone is prepared in advance.”
“But the Seed Conference is just about to start. If you call a meeting now, it will take a whole day before everyone responds, agrees on the meeting agenda, and finds time to connect. What if someone is momentarily unavailable? That would drag the meeting into tomorrow. What would happen to the Seed Conference then? You’re supposed to preside over it,” Auburnli pointed out.
Of the three big shots in Stellaris, only Tyrone is responsible for external affairs. The Seed Conference cannot proceed without him.
However, if they were to hold a safety meeting after the Seed Conference, it would be at least four to five days later. As seen from the example of the Black Mountain Kingdom, insect numbers can explode by thousands of times overnight. If an incident were to occur during this period, it would be too late to report.
Unable to resolve the debate, Negris, smiling, raised his hand: “Coincidentally, I was just about to brief my grandnephew. Would you like to join me?”
“Your grandnephew? Who might that be?” Tyrone enquired.
“Brooks.”
“Ah, so it’s an elder from the Dragon Clan. I apologize for my ignorance.” Tyrone expressed his respect.
“But just informing Clan Leader Brooks isn’t enough. The others need to be notified as well,” Tyrone added.
“No worries, I have their private contact details.” Negris headed to the Teleportation Array with Ange, contacting Anthony, Brooks, and Gailard one by one. Anthony in turn brought Dyson and Copper Hammer into the conversation, and a six-way meeting started within half an hour.
Seeing the gathering resemble a Dimension Safety Conference, but without Guliani, Tyrone was stunned: “This seems like a Dimension Safety Conference, but hosted by you instead?”
A Dimension Safety Conference is a public channel, which requires a series of protocols and processes before it can be convened. On the contrary, this was a private, impromptu gathering without all the hassle, and conversation quickly ensued.
Tyrone reported on the situation and voiced his concerns. Everyone felt grave thinking about the terrifying scenario.
The Elves, having suffered from an insect invasion before, were particularly anxious. However, they couldn’t come up with any solutions until dawn.
“We can only stay vigilant, particularly Brooks, I hope you can dispatch people to patrol the ocean. If there are any anomalies, please let us know immediately. These insects could live in water, but insect exterminators can’t, right? We must deal with the insect exterminators. We must not allow them to grow stronger,” Tyrone said.
Anthony chimed in, “In a while, Dyson and I will issue a joint statement, declaring the insect exterminators as heretics. We will give them a deadline to surrender; anyone who is caught will be burned alive.”
“The Elves can assist too. If there’s anything you need, you can contact Lord Ange,” Gailard proposed.
Upon hearing this, everyone, other than Anthony, was taken aback. Tyrone and Auburnli even shot Ange a surprised glance.
The Elves were willing to assist, but they asked them to contact Ange? What did that imply?
This signified that Ange had the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Elves. Letting a ‘human’ decide on their behalf was simply unbelievable for the haughty Elves.
As the conference ended, dawn was breaking. Tyrone and Auburnli swiftly departed.
The Seed Contest was the grand finale and would commence at noon on the third day. The preceding two-and-a-half days were packed with competitions, bet battles, and other exciting events.
However, Ange wasn’t interested in any of these. He retreated into the Resting Palace to study the new changes in the two Insect Gods.
Having consumed a large number of insects, Hemel and Mattis underwent a peculiar transformation, becoming even more robust.
Previously, they indiscriminately gorged on food and ended up gaining weight. But this time, they consumed only meat and not only did they not gain weight, they became stronger.
Hemel transformed into a robust ‘horse’, its sturdy limbs and muscular body comparable to the most robust Nightmare.
There was a metallic sheen on his skin. On touching it, one would discover it was not skin, but very fine scales that were extremely hard.
