Chapter 580 -589: Arrival of the Insect Plague

The insect plague is here!

Staring at the scene before her, Stella Sterling’s gaze was cold.

Her mood was foul. In fact, it was worse than foul—she was on the verge of rage.

Over the years, she had cultivated a great deal of self-control, and the bloodlust in her heart had faded significantly. Unless someone provoked her, it had been a long time since she’d had such frenzied thoughts.

She had even found herself wanting to do good deeds much of the time.

Recently, she had even started to think of herself as a good person.

But now, a tyrannical impulse flooded her mind, making her want to lose control, to vent.

She knew something was wrong with these emotions.

In the past, though she’d had similar urges, her mind had always remained clear.

But at this moment, she could clearly feel the manic rage boiling inside her.

Taking a few deep breaths, Stella Sterling tried her best to calm down.

But her expression remained grim.

The insect plague!

‘The one thing I hate most!’

In her previous life, this was what had killed her.

The memory of being devoured by countless insects in her past life surfaced, along with the sensations…

And the tyrannical urge in her heart grew even stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, her emotions finally settled somewhat. She stared at the chaos outside. ‘This time, the insect plague has arrived more than two years earlier than in my past life.’

‘There were always discrepancies before, but the timeline was never off by such a wide margin. This time, it’s a full two years early.’

“What’s wrong?” Andrew Shaw asked with concern, noticing Stella Sterling’s strange expression.

He had known this woman for a long time, but this was the first time he’d ever seen her look like this.

Stella Sterling looked down at him. “Don’t you feel it? Something’s wrong. The insect plague wasn’t supposed to arrive for another two years, but look at it now!”

Andrew Shaw looked at the scene before them, his expression turning grave.

‘It’s more than two years earlier in this life than the last one. How could this be?’

“And it’s not just that. The disasters have been happening more frequently lately, and it’s getting chaotic. All sorts of calamities are occurring at the same time.”

“It feels like humanity is on the brink of extinction!”

Stella Sterling’s voice was heavy with suppressed madness.

Andrew Shaw flinched. He looked at Stella Sterling with renewed worry, sensing that something was very wrong with her.

He had known her for so long, and she was always so composed, always looking like she had everything under control.

This was the first time he had ever seen her like this.

Her eyes betrayed a frantic, manic energy!

He could tell Stella Sterling was trying to suppress it, but he noticed it anyway.

He asked again, “Are you really okay? You don’t seem like yourself at all!”

Stella Sterling shook her head. “I’m fine. You should head back for now. The plan has changed. I’m going out for a bit.”

‘I was originally planning to go to Caleb Xavier, but I can’t now.’

Andrew Shaw nodded and watched Stella Sterling’s retreating figure, a little worried.

‘Why is she acting like this? Is it because the insect plague suddenly arrived more than two years early?’

‘But things like this have happened before, and she never reacted this way.’

‘No, that’s not right!’

Andrew Shaw’s expression suddenly changed!

‘In the past, Stella Sterling learned about the upcoming disasters from me.’

‘I would tell her a specific time.’

‘The time I gave her would always be a little different from when the event actually happened, which is how she learned the timelines for various disasters were shifting earlier.’

‘But this time, the insect plague is a full two years early. Because it was supposed to be over two years away, I haven’t even mentioned it to her yet.’

‘I never told her the specific date the insect plague was supposed to arrive.’

‘But what she just said…’

‘How would she know the real timeline for the insect plague’s arrival? Could it be that she…’

At that moment, a thought flashed through Andrew Shaw’s mind. He was shocked, yet also excited.

‘Could it be that Stella Sterling was reborn, too?!’

‘No wonder. That time she made me tell her about the upcoming disasters, and after I told her, she didn’t doubt me. She didn’t even ask about the strange medicine she’d made me take; it was as if she just accepted my words.’

‘Although I gave an explanation at the time, I felt it was out of character for someone as cautious as her to be so trusting.’

‘I just didn’t think too much about it back then. I was just relieved that she seemed to believe me for the time being.’

‘But thinking back on it now, it was strange. Could it be because she herself already knew which disasters were coming, and their specific timing?’

‘Is that why she believed my words without any suspicion after I told her?’

‘Combined with what happened today, it’s highly likely that she was reborn.’

‘Besides, I’ve always had a nagging question: If she’s this powerful, why did I never even hear of her in my past life?’

‘With Quinn’s abilities, I can’t imagine anyone who could kill her.’

‘If that were the case, she should have been a major figure in the last life. But back then, I only ever heard about Caleb Xavier, Miles Sanctus, and Gordon Ford. I never heard the name Stella Sterling at all.’

‘I considered many possibilities at the time, but none of them ever made sense.’

‘Then there was Miles Sanctus. Someone that powerful was defeated by her. But in the previous life, he was supposed to live on to become one of the future’s titans!’

‘This is clearly different from the previous life.’

‘I thought about it over and over again but could never figure it out. The one thing I never considered was that she might also be someone who had been reborn.’

‘It wasn’t until this very moment, after she blurted out the correct timing of the insect plague’s arrival, that I began to suspect.’

Once this seed of suspicion was planted in his heart, it began to spread uncontrollably.

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Stella Sterling had to have been reborn. Otherwise, none of this made any sense.

It was very likely that, just like him, she had been reborn from the future. She might have even been reborn earlier than him, which was why she was so well-prepared.

That’s why after he was reborn, the timeline of this life was different from the last one.

The reason for all these changes wasn’t his rebirth—it was Stella Sterling’s!

He felt that the various strange abilities Stella Sterling now possessed were most likely related to her rebirth.

Thinking of this, Andrew Shaw began to feel a faint excitement.

‘Being the only one who was reborn is too lonely. I yearn to meet another of my kind.’

He wanted to go find Stella Sterling and ask her, but he didn’t have the guts.
