Chapter 1808: Chapter 569: Leak

Carli Empire Capital, Imperial Palace

"Your Majesty, it’s not good! Something’s happened!"

The guard hurriedly rushed into the office of the Emperor of Che Li, abandoning usual decorum and forcefully pushed open the door.

"Your Majesty! A massive insect swarm attack! The capital is under attack everywhere!"

"I know that, I’m not blind..." The Emperor gritted his teeth, standing by the window looking into the distance, "I heard that explosion just now..."

As one of the tallest buildings in the capital, the Imperial Palace offers a view of the entire capital, where the chaos within the city is now visible here.

Early on, when the insect swarm had just started acting, he had already detected the abnormality.

He is the Emperor of the Carli Empire, but before this identity, he is also a Transcendent.

To be precise, anyone in the Starry Sky capable of leading a civilization must possess some degree of Strength and be a Transcendent.

After all, Transcendence is a pursuit ingrained in the bones of all Starry Sky People, let alone the rulers of civilizations.

Moreover, as the ruler of a civilization, he requires a body that is both safer and healthier.

Even without extraordinary talent and unable to control magic power, as the ruler of a civilization, there are methods to forcibly learn some Transcendent Strength.

Although it’s not about possessing great combat power, transcendence offers more opportunities in various unexpected situations.

Not to mention, as the Emperor of Carli, he was already a middle-tier Transcendent before becoming the emperor.

The kind of chaos outside that even ordinary people can detect, how could he possibly not detect it?

The suddenly emerged insect swarm simultaneously attacked numerous military posts throughout the capital, even places that provide defensive power were also within the attack range.

Those proclaiming the insect swarm took the chance to mobilize, recruiting more members.

Under the assault, the troops suffered significant losses, and the entire capital nearly fell into chaos in an instant.

This targeted and selective attack is not something that typical Insect Clan attacks can account for!

There is someone behind all this control!

The Emperor of Carli gritted his teeth tightly, recalling the recent war.

"Are they finally unable to hold back anymore...

What exactly do you want?"

The Emperor of Carli stared at the insect swarm fighting in the distance, feeling puzzled.

Previously, he had speculated that followers of the Church were standing behind the insect swarm, speculating that followers wanted to find a civilization as their puppet or cause a major event in the Starry Sky, forcing the Three Great Civilizations to return.

But now the insect swarm’s behavior makes it hard for him to confirm his suspicions.

If they wanted to cause a major event, the insect swarm should have caused a massacre by now, but the damage caused by the insect swarm is clearly too mild.

And if they want to force them to become puppets...

Normal negotiation tactics always start by stating conditions, then slowly use strength to force the issue, don’t they?

Suddenly conducting an attack without even having negotiators...

This is just like interrogating a prisoner with non-stop "torture," without any attempt at "coercion."

Not asking, no negotiation! What’s the point of just taking action!

Even if there is indeed a Church follower behind the scenes controlling everything, they’re definitely a negotiation idiot!

The Emperor of Carli cursed inwardly with a dark expression.

Beep beep—

The communicator on the desk rang, and the Emperor of Carli gestured with his hand, using magic power to sweep the communicator into his hand, answering it roughly.

"Speak!"

Listening silently to the report inside the communicator, the Emperor of Carli’s expression grew uglier.

"Not just the capital... other places on the planet too..."

After hanging up the call, the Emperor of Carli couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

According to the report within the communication, almost the entire planet is now engulfed by the insect swarm disaster.

In addition to the capital, almost all other cities on the Mother Star were simultaneously attacked, nearly paralyzing most of the planet’s facilities.

Moreover, aside from the Mother Star, all planets of the civilization that had been previously attacked saw insect disasters erupt again, and colonies that hadn’t yet encountered the Insect Clan saw the appearance of insect swarms...

Indeed, insect swarm attacks have never been only confined to one place.

They have always simultaneously attacked numerous civilizations and planets, attacking various regions on the planet.

With a darkened expression, he sat back at his desk, where the virtual screen was already presenting real-time images from various parts of the planet.

Some were of completely overrun military camps, showing transcendent defenders easily breached by the insect swarm, and others showed the military in spaceports defending with all their might but unable to resist...

Under the onslaught of the insect swarm, the transcendent within his garrison forces were retreating step by step.

Even without being on-site, the Emperor of Carli, as a Transcendent, understood the situation.

He could see from the recordings the extent of the Strength displayed by the insect swarm.

Those garrison camps and those crucial facilities, equipped with extremely sturdy materials to prevent attacks, can be magically powered to provide shield-like defensive power when necessary.

Yet in the images now, in the garrison point east of the Imperial Palace, the Insect Clan member directly ripped apart the powered metal with a single impact.

That has been tested to withstand 4th Rank Transcendent high-strength defense!

Moreover, afterward, during the battle with the transcendent within the garrison point, the insect swarm showed not only strong life force but also high aggression.

Without room to maneuver indoors, the Insect Clan member directly chose to confront head-on, and the beetle-like body displayed power defying any physical principles.
