Felix shifted uncomfortably, yawning as he stared at the massive hole. Pouring water into the seemingly endless nest had proven to be a grueling and monotonous task. Moreover, despite his efforts, the water barely seed to make a difference.
He checked his threat map again, and his heart sank. The map showed that 90% of the radar was still sward with purple dots, indicating hostile lifeforms.
"This is ridiculous."
Felix gave up. He decided to insult them instead.
Unzipping his pants, Felix pulled out his personal "hose" with a smirk. Clenching his stomach muscles, a concentrated stream of golden liquid surged forth, diving straight into the depths of the nest. The "blessed water," as Felix jokingly called it, had been building up for hours, resulting in a deep yellow hue.
As it splashed against the cavernous interior, nothing happened as usual.
But a second later, the ground beneath Felix trembled once again. The force this ti surpassed 9 Richter, creating sink holes everywhere. Ground collapsed and dust flew throughout the entire area within 10 kiloters.
A deafening screech erupted from the depths of the ant nest. Felix covered his ears and widened his eyes, realizing he had awakened sothing he shouldn't have. Monts later, the ground cracked and split apart as a monstrous entity erged.
A colossal black centipede, larger than anything Felix had ever seen, clawed its way out of the nest and shot up to the sky. Its segnted body was covered in armor-like scales, and each leg towered as tall as the Empire State Building. The creature's head was a terrifying mass, easily the size of a small town, with mandibles that looked capable of shearing through mountains. Its many eyes, glinting like obsidian jewels, locked onto Felix.
"Holy… F-ck." Felix exclaid, flabbergasted by the sheer size of this cosmic entity. He reached for his handgun, then paused, realizing it probably wouldn't even scratch the creature.
Suddenly, the voice of the administrator, Miao Xiaomao, echoed directly in the minds of all surviving chosen ones, carrying a tone of both amusent and urgency.
[Attention, chosen ones! Be advised that a MINI boss, "Karma Centipede," has been awakened ahead of schedule because an idiot decided to flood his ho and piss on its head. Anyway, under no circumstances should you engage it. This is not sothing you can handle at your current level.]
Felix froze mid-action. His fingers grazed the activation trigger of the beacon ball in his hand as he almost activated it and summon another nuke.
The administrator's words continued.
[Just for your reference, this cute pet belongs to the "Deity Class," which happens to be the third major cultivation realm of our universe. You mortals are rely scratching the first stage. The power disparity here is about as wide as the Grand Canyon, so let be crystal clear… Run, don't walk.]
There was a brief pause, and then the voice turned sharper.
[And as for those relying on their cheat items or plot armor, especially you Floridian kids, don't think your gadgets will save you. Overestimating your tools will only get you squashed faster.]
Felix felt personally attacked, and his face twitched at the not-so-subtle jab. He stared at the beacon ball in his hand while his earlier confidence faded under the administrator's scolding. For once, he decided to heed the advice and refrained from provoking the massive centipede.
But Miao Xiaomao wasn't done. This ti, he delivered a tidbit of information that sent a chill through everyone's spines.
[Oh, and just so you know, Demon God Mao commands a trillion of these centipedes. Fun fact: so of them are actually his wives. And those ladies? Yeah, they're two tiers stronger than this little guy you're all gawking at right now. So… train hard, stay alive, and good luck ever thinking about fighting that man in his final form. Just speedrun this farce and smack him while he's still a baby, alright? We've given you so many handicaps, so don't ruin it.]
Felix flinched hard. He pictured an endless swarm of centipedes, each large enough to devour cities. Worse still, the idea that so of them were stronger, more intelligent, and potentially more vicious than this one was enough to make him feel small.
"Trillion centipedes? Wives?! Who the f-ck is this guy?!"
Xiaomao's voice entered Felix mind, answering the question.
[He's soone your ancestor hates yet trusts the most, but he still keeps him as a pet… who can kill protagonists. Anyway, heed my warnings. Plot armor doesn't exist in front of him, so good luck.]
"…"
With the administrator's words still fresh in his mind, Felix didn't hesitate any longer. He kicked off the ground and rocketed westward at full speed.
But the centipede wasn't about to let its uninvited guest leave unscathed.
SCREECH!
The piercing cry of the Karma Centipede echoed like an unholy trumpet, summoning its vast legion of underlings. From beneath the ground, countless ants surged forth like a living tide, clawing their way to the surface. Each ant raised its mandibles to the sky and hissed in unison, answering their master's call. As they erged, they unleashed torrents of green gas, transforming the landscape into a swirling nightmare of toxic fog.
Felix glanced back and his heart sank at the sight. The green haze spread like wildfire, devouring the land behind him. Worse, ahead of him, a million ants that had climbed onto the surface had already spotted him.
From among the swarm, one particularly large ant crawled out. Its swollen abdon pulsed while It pointed its rear toward the sky, aiming with unsettling precision. With a sharp hiss, it fired a glowing green energy projectile, a homing missile of condensed poison, straight at Felix.
"Ah, hell."
The glowing orb struck him instantly, exploding in a brilliant burst of acidic green liquid. Felix was showered in the corrosive substance. His clothes sizzled and lted away in seconds.
DING!
