I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 597: Guilt? Can’t Help It, the Acting Bug Bit Me

With this in mind, Lin Yi started anticipating the moment he would face the Queen of the Insect Nest once more.

Imagine tens of thousands of Nest Insect Star Insect Race arrayed perfectly behind Lin Yi, following his command—it was a breathtakingly awe-inspiring spectacle.

The Queen of the Insect Nest wielded incredibly sharp command over the Insect Race.

Countless insects populated the whole Nest Insect Star, a massive number for sure, yet even the sudden death of a single one—not to mention ten—would be instantly sensed by the Queen of the Insect Nest, who could pinpoint its exact spot using her special power.

Across the vast Nest Insect Star, likely only Lin Yi possessed the ability to slay ten battle-ready Insect Race in a single go.

Acting without delay, the Queen of the Insect Nest broadcast the coordinates and kill commands right away, and within under two minutes, fresh directives to pursue Lin Yi echoed across the entire Insect Hive Star.

The Queen of the Insect Nest didn't sit still either; she beat her wings furiously and raced to the scene.

Despite planetary will's aid, crossing from the hive's depths to the fight zone still demanded considerable time from the Queen of the Insect Nest.

Yet as she pressed on, an increasing unease gripped the Queen of the Insect Nest.

This can't be right!

Where was the report of any Insect Race warrior falling en route?

That brat Lin Yi commands the Taichu Law and holds multiple Harmonization Level Supreme Laws; regular insects against him are doomed like eggs smashing on stone—the Queen of the Insect Nest's must-kill directive for Lin Yi aimed only to let nearby bugs slow him down.

And to track his position continuously.

Shockingly, despite the elapsed time, no news reached the Queen of the Insect Nest of any Insect Race warriors perishing.

Was her dominion over the Insect Race breaking down?!

No way! Utterly impossible! Every Insect Race sprang from the Queen of the Insect Nest's own might—control couldn't just vanish!

The instant the Queen of the Insect Nest activated visual sharing to check the battlefield, utter shock froze her.

What's happening here!

How come tens of thousands of Insect Races were lined up behind Lin Yi and his allies?

These bugs, eyes vacant and lifeless, radiated a chilling, ghostly vibe that chilled to the bone.

Her queen's authority failed to elicit any response when she tried commanding them.

To be precise, the Insect Race trailing Lin Yi never picked up her signals at all.

Utterly baffled, the Queen of the Insect Nest sped up without thinking.

She knew full well Insect Race would never turn on their kin.

Though Insect Race elites encircled Lin Yi in droves, they held back from striking, with endless fellow warriors guarding his rear.

This nightmare scenario weighed ever more on the Queen of the Insect Nest's spirits.

She fretted deeply that these beings might undermine her grip on planetary will.

Should they truly interfere, her journey would spell certain doom.

Terrified though she felt, the Queen of the Insect Nest refused to accept such fears as truth.

Blue Star was a world of rival nations plotting endlessly—a place ignorant of planetary will's secrets or its mastery.

Plus, wasn't there a silver lining?

Lin Yi and the pair of women with him stayed composed, displaying zero urge to flee.

In her mind, the Queen of the Insect Nest plotted: upon arrival, unleash maximum power to smash Lin Yi and his two partners flat on Nest Insect Star.

No movements could dodge the Eye of All-Seeing's watch.

Dozens of miles away still, Lin Yi already detected her approach.

A mere mental command from Lin Yi summoned a colossal hand pulsing with Eternal Law's might right before him, then it savagely seized the void ahead.

In the blink of an eye, the Queen of the Insect Nest—her enormous form twisted out of shape—materialized trapped in the frozen giant hand's clutch.

This Supreme Laws-forged strike spelled instant death for any common Insect Race on contact.

Yet against the Queen of the Insect Nest, the frosty colossal hand hovered powerless nearby; no matter Lin Yi's full-force efforts, it refused to squeeze tighter by even a fraction.

"Ah, indeed, there’s a difference in having mastered the Taichu Law. Defeating you through ordinary means is truly impossible. By the way, Queen of the Insect Nest, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

"I, Lin Yi, acknowledge my weaknesses and have beheld the Insect Race Queen’s formidable methods. I’ve finally awakened to the truth and grasp the vast chasm separating us."

"Here’s my proposal: I’ll confess my errors to you, and we can bury our grudge, alright? Plus, I vow never to return to the Nest Insect Star, what say you?"

Channeling the flair of a top-tier performer, Lin Yi acted with complete devotion; his flawless performance fooled the Queen of the Insect Nest, who lacked exposure to humanity’s darker side, leaving her blind to any deceit.

She genuinely thought Lin Yi planned to yield to her.

"Heh, human, I already offered you an opportunity, but you squandered it."

"Through multiple clashes, I’ve proven my resolve. Yet now you’ve pushed me to this point—how could I back down? Get ready to perish!"

It was exactly as Zacks had predicted.

Gaining dominion over the planetary will demanded a tremendous toll.

Noticing the dulled scale armor on the Queen of the Insect Nest, Lin Yi instantly recognized her massive loss of vitality, her withered look utterly pitiful.

Briefly, a flicker of remorse appeared in Lin Yi’s gaze.

Such a steep sacrifice from the Queen, and still he needed to deceive her further.

No choice; the thrill of performance had taken hold, impossible to halt.

"Queen of the Insect Nest, is there truly no way to discuss this issue?"

"I’m saying, as a star’s sovereign figure, don’t you think so? A lowly human like me stands little chance in a real battle, but you know our sly nature. Victory for you might cost dearly. Why not compromise— I’ll offer some of my essence to boost your strength, and you allow my departure, deal?"

The Queen of the Insect Nest gave a resolute reply.

Over half her life force had been expended to seize control of this planetary will.

How could she relinquish the triumph within her reach?

Following a mocking sneer from her grotesque maw, the Queen of the Insect Nest boldly lifted her limb.

Linking her Source Power to the Nest Insect Star’s planetary will, she commanded power close to Harmonization Level Taichu Law.

Murderous aura exploded outward.

With a piercing stare, the Queen of the Insect Nest instantly enveloped Lin Yi’s form with the annihilating law power.
