Eat the breadcrumbs below.

Yikes watched the black larva grow wings and soar high.

Flew out of this garden.

And out of the endless world's boundaries.

He grew stronger.

Killed one monster and giant beast after another that tried to prey on him.

He gradually matured.

Gained the right to reproduce.

He mated with another female insect from the edge of the barbaric world.

That ignorant, blind female insect.

She received part of the power stored inside Yikes and gained sentience.

She birthed countless offspring for Yikes.

And his offspring, once again, bred with others, producing more offspring.

The first swarm was born.

Yikes became the first Insect Emperor of the swarm.

After the swarm devoured his small world completely.

Yikes led them away from that withered, decaying world to a brand new world.

Continue to reproduce!

The queen beside Yikes would age, die, betray, and leave.

But Yikes would not.

He seemed to never age, never die.

That piece of breadcrumb granted him the right to immortality.

In Yikes's heart, more desires gradually grew.

His intellect matured as well.

After an epoch.

His swarm spread across the universe.

Yikes's name also became a feared existence in countless worlds across the cosmos.

Upon entering a new world, the swarm would reproduce to its peak.

Then leave that deceased world, and during the long migration, the swarm would gradually wither.

After countless cycles, Yikes finally found a new world that he had longed for.

The people of this world called it Istena.

Meaning eternal paradise.

In this world of Istena, there was a towering giant tree.

This giant tree seemed to have endless life force, just like him.

It would never wither, forever lush.

Thus, Yikes made it his eternal lair.

Here, the swarm plundered the nutrients of this giant tree, beginning their unrestricted reproduction and expansion!

But Yikes also encountered the strongest resistance from this world's native civilization.

It was a human civilization.

They wielded a technology called steam and electric power.

Each one was a warrior with strong will.

His swarm was defeated time and again before those mecha warriors.

The energy known as electric power seemed to be a weakness ingrained in his and his swarm's very bones.

The war between the swarm and the mechas lasted for hundreds of years.

Yikes, with his unwavering resilience, laughed until the end.

And he also discovered that as long as he relied on Yogda Hill, even if his physical body perished.

He would be reborn within the core of Yogda Hill.

And every rebirth made him stronger.

He won.

The native civilization of the Istena world was completely devoured by him, with only a few humans still stubbornly resisting.

Meanwhile, Yikes also discovered that since then, humans from other worlds, possessing special powers, began to enter Istena.

It seemed as if there was an invisible hand behind them.

The purpose of that hand was to restrain the development of himself and the swarm.

Yikes scoffed at this, however.

Through these "professionals" from the other worlds, he learned about a world called Blue Star.

Yikes felt his heart stir.

A brand new door was open before him.

A grand plan gestated within his chest.

He would not only conquer Istena and the other worlds around it.

But he also aimed to conquer the advanced world called Blue Star!

Absorbing the essence of these professionals.

Would allow his power to grow rapidly and reach a new level.

So, he set a trap, chiseling a small breach in the boundary of the Istena world that perpetually connected to the Blue Star World.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the swarm's power was still too weak.

The passage he opened between the two worlds was one-way.

Only high-level worlds like Blue Star had the privilege to pass through the passage into the Istena world.

But he and his swarm.

Could not pass through this passage into Blue Star World.

Yikes knew.

He needed to absorb more of the "professionals'" power.

To achieve this, he intentionally left some humans from the Istena native civilization, without exterminating them completely.

So those professionals from the Blue Star World could enter this world and help those resisting forces carry out some laughable "resistance".

Those professionals thought they were achieving great feats in this world.

But they were all just clowns performing under Yikes's watchful eyes.

To avoid alerting Blue Star World and causing it to completely close the inter-world gateway.

Yikes would intermittently abduct some professionals instead of all of them.

This scenario persisted for a very long time.

Until one day.

Yikes discovered that within the remaining humans of Istena, a prophecy had begun to circulate without him knowing when it started.

The source of that prophecy.

Yikes could not find.

It was probably another act by that mysterious hand.

However, the overly inflated Yikes dismissed the content of that prophecy.

What Knight Tianqi?

Nonsense!

Until, he was pierced through by the World-Ending Thunder Spear.

Nailed into the depths of Istena.

...

Bang!

Everything shattered like a mirror.

Yikes opened his eyes again!

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

Everything he had just seen was nothing but an illusory dream, like a lantern in a rush.

He experienced his entire life.

However, this time, when Yikes opened his eyes.

He found himself once again in the vibrant garden.

"Woo woo woo..."

"Why did Little Green wither..."

"Mom, why?"

Little Green was a tree.

The only withered tree in this garden at the moment.

The gardener cut away Little Green's roots and discovered streams of black water flowing from them.

"Miss Alina, this tree is infested with insects."

"That's why it withered."

The little girl Alina tilted her head: "Insects..."

"Are they creatures like Little Black?"

"Yes, Miss Alina."

Yikes saw the little girl Alina turn her head.

Her figure instantly became immensely tall!

She glared at him!

"Bad Little Black! Bad Little Black!"

Yikes saw himself being pinched by Alina's giant hand, making him excruciatingly painful!

Yet no matter how he wailed or begged for mercy.

Alina showed no sign of letting go.

The next moment, Yikes felt himself being thrown out of the garden.

His body shattered.

His consciousness gradually blurred.

In his dying moments.

He saw a flower butterfly also stumbling into the garden.

"Mommy, mommy, it's so beautiful!"

"What is that?"

"That's a butterfly."

"Is it also an insect?"

"Yes, Alina."

"Mommy, it's so pitiful. Can I feed it something?"

"You can."

"Mommy, is Xiaohua also an insect? Will it make our trees wither?"

"It will, Alina."

"But it's okay, Alina, there will always be new trees growing in Eden."

"We'll think of a way then!"

"Yay! Mommy, then I'll feed it my favorite bread?"

"Go ahead, Alina."

...

The butterfly flapped its wings.

Unknowing which world would be stirred into a storm again.

However, those things were no longer related to him.

Yikes's vision gradually dimmed.

What awaited him was not another cycle.

But true death.

Immortality...

Was nothing more than a fanciful dream.
