My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 499 - 500: Mas...ter?
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Formerly an insignificant and overlooked part of Gu Xing's squad.
Her powers had leaned heavily toward assistance.
Thus, after acquiring the Divine Position, her outlook shifted without her even realizing it.
With the capacity to unleash Divine Level strength in the Insect Realm, Fei Yue started to look down on several Pseudo-Divine Level Insect Emperors.
And before long, Fei Yue suffered the consequences of her negligence.
Fei Yue materialized once more from the Void, her form now wobbling unsteadily.
Her frame, previously glowing with divine radiance, appeared clearly faded right then.
Furthermore, ugly gashes marred her shoulders and waist, oozing dark green acidic energy.
She gasped for breath heavily, a trace of terror in her red eyes.
Almost!
Just a little closer, and she would've been stranded there!
Though she wielded a Divine Position, the Insect Emperors couldn't fully destroy her.
However...
If they demolished this form of hers, then using the Insect Realm to rebuild it.
That could take an indeterminate span of years.
Right now.
She breathed in sharp bursts, vigilantly surveying the area around her.
Only then did it dawn on her...
Without noticing, she had reached the boundary of the Insect Realm.
The spatial framework in this spot was unstable, riddled with visible black rifts and turbulent chaotic energies.
Far off, the enormous void tunnel to the Alternate Space resembled a lazily spinning chasm, radiating an essence foreign to this domain.
This location served not just as the Insect Realm's fringe, but one could argue it lay beyond the pure Insect Realm.
Here, her Divine Position's influence faced severe restriction and disruption.
Space ceased to be her territory, manipulable with ease.
Each jump through it now felt labored.
That's why she had almost been seized by seven Insect Emperors previously.
Yet in this instant.
The seven presences, clinging like parasites to rotting flesh, converged from every side, blocking all paths of retreat.
"Damn it... these bugs!" Fei Yue muttered through gritted teeth.
Then comprehension hit her.
The foes had schemed deliberately, herding her gradually into this terrain most hostile to her.
These bugs, once beneath her notice, had delivered a brutal wake-up call.
Before her eyes, seven imposing silhouettes arose from the turbulent void, encircling her completely at the middle.
Seven icy mental waves transmitted over, laced with overt scorn:
"Where will you flee next?"
"Yield your Divine Position and core entirely! Join our kind!"
Sensing the mental waves from these Insect Emperors, Fei Yue's spirit sank deeper.
If facing just a single Insect Emperor, she could perhaps still break free with her present strength.
Her eyes scanned the field, yet there were a complete seven...
She understood that escaping today...
Would prove challenging!
She attempted to summon divine energy, but the link to the Insect Realm flickered erratically.
Noticing her actions, the Insect Emperors' mental waves returned, now brimming with blatant arrogance.
"Resist no more! Here, your strength drops below a third!"
As the statement landed, a few Insect Emperors advanced steadily, their colossal forms projecting shadows that nearly engulfed Fei Yue's small body whole.
"Cease your futile efforts, fledgling Deity."
"Your Divine Position, your core, will fuel our race's advancement."
"Blending into the mighty Insect Race before our eyes is your privilege."
Privilege?
At those words, a surge of revulsion crossed Fei Yue's gaze.
In her tenure within the Insect Realm, she had gained a true grasp of this species.
Lacking any sentiment, they pursued resources through any ruthless tactic!
They waged ceaseless assaults on lesser realms, broadening their dominion.
Incessantly spawning base-level Insect Race, then forcing these base-level Insect Race to kill one another for growth.
One could claim they surpassed even the Demon Race in brutality!
And now, to force her integration into this horde?
Her gaze burned with fury.
She'd sooner detonate her Divine Position, scattering into oblivion entirely.
Than share any tie with these repulsive, grotesque insect swarms!
"In your dreams!"
She compelled the leftover divinity in her form to stir, "Crave my Divine Position? Then exchange it for your lives!"
"Foolish wretch!"
Witnessing Fei Yue's resolve, the Insect Emperors bellowed in rage.
Without further delay, the seven Insect Emperors launched their assault together.
The combined blow from seven Pseudo-Divine Level Insect Emperors, amid this brittle spatial edge, sparked a cascading effect.
The spatial tempests churned like scalding fat, dark fissures racing outward wildly, as though the whole zone teetered on collapse.
No dodging, no backing away!
A savage spark ignited in Fei Yue's eyes, heedless of the toll, she wildly ignited the remaining divine power and divine core within her!
Golden divinity erupted like roaring fire, she stood firm without evasion, palms clenching still, forging two elongated razor edges from raw space shards, set to confront the onslaught directly.
Even if fated to perish, she aimed to tear a chunk from them!
Yet, right as these strikes neared to consume her.
"Buzz——!!!"
In the distance, that void passage to the Alternate Space, which had turned lazily before, abruptly shuddered with force!
The silver-gray whirlpool in the passage, once fairly calm, abruptly surged and spun faster, as if some enormous entity thrust through from the far side!
Next, a brilliant sword gleam, capable of slicing all disorder, erupted plainly from the passage's depths!
The sword gleam lacked grandeur, but it was honed to perfection.
Along its path, the disordered spatial storms, the weak barriers at the edge.
Even the thick, sticky dark essence of the Insect Realm, all parted noiselessly in two, exposing the profound emptiness below.
This blade struck true against the seven Insect Emperors' assault!
"Rip——!"
A noise like shredding fabric.
The seven Insect Emperors' attack split apart from this lone strike.
The savage energy rebound forced the enormous frames of the seven Insect Emperors to pause briefly.
Fei Yue, expending her core, shook fiercely, staring in astonishment at the void passage.
The passage's unrest persisted.
Following the sword gleam, a lofty silhouette emerged casually from the seething whirlpool inside the passage.
Dark locks, dark garb, gaze serene like an timeless abyss.
His presence wasn't aggressive or showy, rather subdued.
Yet his arrival undeniably calmed the turbulent space nearby.
Merely by existing there, he became the heart of this disordered realm.
"Mas...ter?"
Fei Yue's violet eyes bulged, nearly convinced it was a delusion.
She verified repeatedly to accept...
This wasn't a mirage!
Her master had truly arrived!
