I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 590: Gift from the Queen of the Insect Nest

Why the anticipation?

Truth be told, since Lin Yi crossed over, no adversary had proven clever enough to challenge him.

He never imagined those two words would one day apply to a mere bug.

The tactic exploited the massive insect bodies to evoke the image of the formidable, towering Insect Race from Nest Insect Star, catching invaders off guard.

Outwardly, these colossal bugs appeared to defend Nest Insect Star against foreign intruders.

Yet, the real power supporting them consisted of minuscule nanomites, too small for the naked eye to detect.

Against formidable foes, these tiny creatures often delivered astonishing outcomes.

Those heaps of mammal remains likely served as breeding grounds for rearing these insects.

The Insect Nest Queen, expert in such strategies, stood ready for assaults from distant galaxies.

Once the giant combat insects fell, the nanomites dispersed in the atmosphere formed Nest Insect Star's ultimate safeguard.

This moment called for unleashing that final defense!

Lin Yi embodied the formidable intruder they couldn't handle!

Through the Eye of All-Seeing's watch, Lin Yi observed countless nanomites infiltrating his form, ravenously consuming his tissues.

Due to their infinitesimal size, Lin Yi sensed scarcely any pain as they shredded his innards.

Should a typical professional face this, they'd likely discover too late, their body hollowed out to a mere husk.

Having fully refined a phoenix egg from Balram, Lin Yi advanced his Immortal Law to Harmonization Level.

Beyond gaining three law skills, Lin Yi reaped Immortal Law's boons: boundless Life Value and Mana Value regeneration, endless Power of Law renewal, and a vastly extended lifespan beyond mortals.

Tens of thousands of nanomites feasted on flesh at a rapid pace, yet Lin Yi's physique proved extraordinary.

Harmonization Level Immortal Law worked ceaselessly.

Any lost flesh or energy in Lin Yi's body regenerated in an instant.

Thus, the nanomites' consumption rate lagged far behind Lin Yi's restoration speed.

The Insect Nest Queen, calculating and merciless.

She possessed the means to repel invaders effectively.

Regrettably, her foe was Lin Yi.

Lin Yi refrained from rushing to purge the nanomites inside him.

The organs they devoured reformed swiftly.

Clearing his thoughts, Lin Yi assumed a cross-legged position, concentrating deeply.

The command source had to be the Insect Nest Queen; Lin Yi sought to trace her signal emissions and pinpoint her location.

Success in this effort would determine if he met her promptly.

Simultaneously, Lin Yi felt grateful.

He was glad he hadn't led Blue Star's professionals into this uncertain peril.

Thanks to Immortal Law, he withstood the nanomites' assault, but regular War Gods could not.

Infested by these unseen pests, they'd meet certain doom.

Despite prolonged scanning, Lin Yi detected no signals.

Rather than despair, excitement stirred in Lin Yi.

Nanomites capable of devouring a War God's flesh showed impressive potency, viable against nearly every enemy.

Should Lin Yi seize command of this swarm, it would grant him a devious edge in upcoming fights—what an asset!

Time to act!

Nanomites swarmed every inch of space across several miles.

No being venturing here would grasp the cause of their demise.

The variably decayed mammal carcasses probably acted as nutrient bases.

To engineer genetics so profoundly, the Insect Nest Queen proved a daunting rival.

Lin Yi understood the Queen spied on him via the Insect Race's shared vision, so he reached out and addressed the empty space ahead.

"Truth be told, you're sharper than any foe I've met. This feat truly caught me off guard."

Those words alerted the Insect Nest Queen that Lin Yi had seen through her ploy.

Yet, she wondered why his vitality remained unshaken after prolonged erosion.

Considering this, she dropped the facade and directed the nanomites to assemble her likeness before Lin Yi.

"Haha, human, regretting it now?"

"Too late for regrets!"

"I offered you a chance earlier, even letting you depart Insect Hive Star. You refused, and now you know my tricks—what of it?"

The nanomite-formed visage of the Insect Nest Queen fixed on Lin Yi as she spoke, oblivious to the impending blow that would crumble her fortifications.

"Regret it? Nah. I actually admire your smarts. Truth be told, you're sharper than most folks on Blue Star. That tactic of yours could fool other powerhouses."

"However, I possess the Immortal Law, the law of eternal youth and immortality, so your nanomites barely impact me at all."

While speaking, a Magic Staff bearing an Anubis totem materialized silently in front of Lin Yi.

A mere thought from him sent a pale golden wave surging outward from Lin Yi's position.

Instantly, every nanomite except those shaping the Queen's head lost all vitality and plummeted to the ground.

The Queen, as the nanomites' master, sensed clearly that the vast majority had died, including those within Lin Yi's body that had been chewing away at him.

The Staff of Life—a unique artifact that controls Life Force.

Being a Divine Artifact, it commanded authority over life and death.

A single thought from Lin Yi caused nearly every nanomite to forfeit their lives.

Now, the Queen of the Insect Nest stood stunned in disbelief.

No one could have anticipated Lin Yi possessing such a method to counter the nanomites, making her supposed ace card completely ineffective against him.

Soon after, the Netherworld Abyss yawned open once more.

Lin Yi drew a thick cluster of nanomites into its depths.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Her face twisting abruptly, the Queen of the Insect Nest bellowed, attempting to rouse the nanomites she had created to assault Lin Yi anew and swallow him whole.

Despite her frantic signals, the Queen failed to connect with her prior nanomite forces.

"Having lived for countless years, don't lose your cool during a crisis."

"Getting back on track, you've given me these incredibly handy alloy nanomites—I'm almost ashamed. Why not share your position so I can come thank you in person?"
