My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 499 - 500: Mas...ter?

Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Gu Xing returned to the Snow Domain, confronting lurking Insect Race swarms with a vengeful resolve born from past defeats. Tushan Yueli unleashed her Divine Level authority over Alternate Space to crush the insects en masse, while Lilith absorbed their blood essence to bolster her power, unaware of a fleeting stir in her dormant Divine Position. As Gu Xing and his guardians plunged through the void gateway into the Insect Realm, Fei Yue, now the realm's Divine Position successor, evaded encirclement by seven ancient Insect Emperors, her enhanced void abilities allowing repeated escapes. Unbeknownst to her, the Emperors adjusted their trap, herding her toward the chaotic edges near the gateway to weaken her control.

Formerly, she served as a minor, overlooked figure in Gu Xing's squad.

Her powers leaned heavily toward auxiliary roles.

Thus, upon securing the Divine Position, her perspective shifted without her awareness.

Capable of unleashing Divine Level strength within 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 oversight.

Fei Yue materialized once more from the Void, her form now wavering slightly.

Her frame, previously glowing with divine radiance, appeared clearly faded right then.

Furthermore, ugly gashes marred her shoulders and midsection, oozing dark green acidic essence.

She gasped heavily, traces of terror flickering in her red eyes.

Just a little closer!

Just a little closer, and she would've been stranded forever!

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 heaved breaths quickly, vigilantly surveying the area around her.

Only then did she notice...

Without realizing, she had reached the boundary of the Insect Realm.

The spatial framework in this spot was thoroughly 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 it could also be viewed as something beyond the pure Insect Realm.

Here, her Divine Position's influence faced severe restriction and disruption.

Space ceased to be her effortless playground for control.

At present, each jump felt labored and slow.

That's the reason she almost got seized by seven Insect Emperors previously.

Yet in this instant.

The seven presences, clinging like parasites to rotting flesh, advanced from every side, blocking all paths of retreat.

"Damn it... these bugs!" Fei Yue muttered through gritted teeth.

Then comprehension dawned on her.

The foes had schemed deliberately, herding her gradually into this terrain most hostile to her strengths.

These bugs, once beneath her notice, had delivered a brutal wake-up call.

Before her eyes, seven imposing silhouettes arose from the turbulent emptiness, encircling her firmly in the midst.

Seven icy mental waves transmitted over, laced with overt scorn:

"Where do you think you can flee next?"

"Hand over your Divine Position and core entirely! Join our kind fully!"

Sensing the mental waves from these Insect Emperors, Fei Yue's spirit plunged deeper.

If facing just a single Insect Emperor, she could perhaps still break free with her lingering might.

Her eyes scanned the field, yet there stood a complete seven...

She understood that escaping this day...

Would prove challenging!

She attempted to summon divine energy, but the link to the Insect Realm flickered unreliably.

Noticing her efforts, fresh mental waves from the Insect Emperors arrived, brimming with blatant triumph.

"Resist no more! Here, your strength drops below a third!"

As the statement landed, multiple Insect Emperors edged forward gradually, their colossal forms projecting shadows that nearly engulfed Fei Yue's slender build completely.

"Cease your futile resistance, fledgling Deity."

"Your Divine Position, your core, will fuel our race's advancement."

"To assimilate into the mighty Insect Race before us is your privilege."

Privilege?

At those terms, revulsion surged intensely in Fei Yue's gaze.

Through her stay in the Insect Realm, she had grasped the true nature of this species.

Devoid of feelings, they pursued resources with ruthless abandon!

They waged ceaseless assaults on frailer realms, bolstering their numbers.

They spawned endless swarms of lesser Insect Race, forcing these underlings to battle among themselves for growth.

One could argue they surpassed even the Demon Race in brutality!

And now, to demand she integrate with this horde?

Her eyes blazed with fury.

She preferred to shatter her Divine Position, dissolving utterly into oblivion.

Over linking herself to these repulsive, grotesque insect swarms!

"In your dreams!"

She compelled the dregs of divinity in her frame to surge, "Crave my Divine Position? Then exchange it for your existences!"

"Foolish wretch!"

Witnessing Fei Yue's resolve, the Insect Emperors bellowed in rage.

Without further delay, the seven Insect Emperors launched a unified assault.

The combined assault from seven Pseudo-Divine Level Insect Emperors, amid this brittle spatial edge, sparked a cascading effect.

Spatial chaos roiled like heated oil, 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; she ignored the toll, wildly igniting the remnants of her divine energy and core!

Golden divine light 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 chunks from them!

Yet, right as these blows neared to consume her.

"Buzz——!!!"

In the distance, that void passage to the Alternate Space, turning steadily before, abruptly shuddered with force!

The silver-gray whirlpool in the passage, once fairly calm, churned and spun faster, like some gigantic entity shoving through from beyond!

Next, a brilliant sword gleam, capable of slicing all disorder, erupted plainly from the passage's depths!

The sword gleam lacked grandeur, but gleamed with utmost precision.

Along its path, turbulent spatial disorder, weak boundary constructs.

Even the thick, shadowy Insect Realm energy everywhere, parted soundlessly in two, exposing the profound emptiness below.

This blade struck dead-on against the seven Insect Emperors' onslaught!

"Rip——!"

A noise like fabric splitting.

The seven Insect Emperors' attack split apart under this lone stroke.

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 shock at the void passage.

The passage's unrest persisted.

Following the sword gleam, a lofty silhouette emerged casually from the surging whirlpool inside the passage.

Dark locks, dark garb, gaze serene as an timeless abyss.

His emanation wasn't aggressive or showy, rather subdued.

Yet his arrival undeniably calmed the turmoil in the surrounding space.

Merely by existing there, he embodied the heart of this disordered realm.

"Mas...ter?"

Fei Yue's violet eyes bulged, nearly convinced it was a mirage.

She verified repeatedly before accepting...

This wasn't a dream!

Her master had truly arrived!
