Fantasy Tech Reviewer

Living is not a blessing, living is a kind of torture, a torture that is almost crazy.

"I know what you want to say, and I know what you want to do."

The insect surrounded the weak Stewart, and the whispers spewed out from its mouthparts were like soul-stealing venom, like the abyss leading the soul to fall.

"You want to find your god, you want him to give you a chance for revenge, you want him to give you an extension of your life."

"But, this can't be done. Stuart, let me tell you, your gods can't give you all this, never."

Stewart stood up slowly. At this moment, he didn't know where the power in his body came from.

He grabbed the black insect with difficulty. He couldn't feel any touch in his hand. The pitch-black insect was like an intangible wisp of smoke.

"Tell me how to see Him!"

"Just follow me and say it." Chongzi laughed and read a language that Stewart had never heard before.

"Tony Stark, I need your help!!!"

Along with these words, even in this desolate ancient desert, a star in the sky lit up.

An illusory projection bloomed in front of Stuart. It was a 'person' he didn't know, a 'person' who was hugely different from his tribe.

"What services do you need?"

he asked in an indifferent tone

"Are you our god?" Stewart lay on the ground and said in a humble voice.

"I am the prince of mankind, and I beg for your help! I need strength, and I need soldiers to fight back against those rebellious rebels!"

"Service request denied." Tony shattered Stewart's fantasy with a cold and indifferent voice

"All human battles should be carried out within the control of the agreement, but other than that, any actions should not involve my involvement."

Stewart looked at him desperately, and tremblingly said his second wish

"Then...please give me a longer life."

"Request rejection. Your life span is due to your genetic defect. This missing item is a difficult problem whose essence has not been analyzed. I can't help you."

Tony's words completely shattered Stewart's hopes

"Then what can you do? Aren't you a god!" Stewart roared crazily and asked

"You sit back and watch those monsters bully us. You give us life but give us despair! Twenty years of life, twenty years of painful existence, is this your love for us?"

"I want to make certain corrections to your words." Tony said lightly.

"First, I am not your god. Although I did create you using human DNA as a sample, you are actually the ones I protect and serve."

"Second, I did not sit back and watch those creatures oppress you. External stimulation helps the unity and evolution of the population, and I have ruled out the possibility of your extinction within a limited range."

"Third, the twenty-year lifespan is not given by me. The upper limit of the lifespan I designed for your race should have been fifty years. It's just that the environment of this world has caused short-lived fragments to appear in your genes, and I can't Fix this clip.”

"I said so, little Stuart."

The black bug whispered in Stuart's ear, whispering into his ears and soul

"Your God of Machinery can't help you. Your short life is caused by an irreversible curse. He can't help you..."

"I can adjust your personal lifespan to fifty years." Tony continued to say calmly.

"But this technology requires replacing your body and sending you off this planet. This technology will completely change your existence at the genetic level and make you no longer 'human'. Therefore, I rejected this plan. "

"All he can give you is thirty more years of life." Chongzi continued to say in a bewitching voice.

"And I can give you more. I can free you from the curse and give you eternal life. I can make your species strong and get rid of weak ideas and realities."

"Yes, my dear Stuart, the future destined king of mankind, what are you waiting for? What other choices do you have?"

Stewart's hands were trembling. He could not resist such a temptation. When the last hope for the gods was shattered, when the last desire for survival was trampled on -

What other options does he have?

"...who are you?"

"We are the will of the abyss, the symbol of the opposite. We are the inhabitants of darkness, the struggle for survival."

The low laughter of the insect was as irresistible as his whisper.

"We have been imprisoned on the opposite side of infinity for countless years, which are years that cannot be expressed in astronomical numbers. We have witnessed the destruction and rebirth of endless stars. You cannot imagine the greatness of our existence."

"The truth is, we're not here for some grand vision. We're just doing one of the same endless things we've done in the past, present and future."

"Stewart, heir of mankind, we did not wait for you, but you found us. I am a place of abundance. The beginning and the end are with me. We can give you endless blessings that you cannot imagine, and the only thing you want is The promise you keep is that you cannot resist your nature.”

"My...nature?"

The bug wrapped around Stewart's neck and described in detail

"When you are hungry, you must devour things to satisfy your appetite. When you are greedy, you must get what you want. When you are proud, nothing can bring you to your knees. When you are When killing, you can only stop by killing all the hateful things.”

"My only request to you, immortal Stuart, is to hold your hand tightly, let the bugs inhabit your body, and fill them with desire, otherwise, they will devour everything about you..."

"I...will!"

Stewart opened his eyes and roared loudly, almost like a roar.

"Parasite on my body, I crave your power! Tell me, where are you?"

There was no possibility for him to refuse, nor did he feel that he should refuse anything.

If we say that following the right path, the choice to go to the right path is short-lived, powerless, and allowing others to bully you. Then he would rather fall into darkness to gain eternity, become powerful, and do whatever he wants!

He would rather be the villain who bullies everyone than the coward who is bullied!

"Hehehe, stupid Stuart, we've always been here."

The insect laughed in a low voice, and it was only then that Stewart realized that there was no insect at all. His voice, his bewitchment, all came from his own mouth!

His body boiled, and he fell to his knees, the dark and sticky liquid covering his body, and he roared and raged.

The bugs were always inside him, in each of their bodies.

They just need to accept this power and accept the temptation of insects.

Stewart was deceived, but he was happy with it.

Because he could feel the changes in his body, the ubiquitous pain and weakness slowly disappeared, and the sense of urgency that his life was approaching disappeared, replaced by full eternity and infinity!

Also, that crazy and greedy desire that cannot be satisfied no matter what.

I don't know how much time passed, but he stood up in the black viscous liquid, and he no longer looked as weak and thin as before.

Standing there was a tall monster with three dark green eyes, a head like a battering ram, covered with a chitinous carapace like armor, waving its wings, and holding a dark and deep magic sword.

He lowered his head. The tall Tony was now like a tiny insect in his eyes, and Tony just looked at him quietly, fulfilling his duty of observation.

He no longer paid attention to Tony, but flapped his wings and flew up. He flew towards his palace and towards the location of the traitor.

He wants to take back everything he owns, and then spread the gift of insects to his race.

He is no longer Stewart.

From today on, his name is Oryx

221.The Law of Evil Sword

"My father said that if Loki successfully opens the portal, he will most likely summon such a terrifying monster."

On the space aircraft carrier, Thor told others the 'story' he heard

"You mean the earth had such a high-level civilization before the Cambrian?"

Nick Fury interrupted Thor and said with narrowed eyes.

"Then why have we never found their remains?"

"That is not your power to spy on, mortal!" Thor warned sternly.

"The swarm is a force that we Asgardians fear. If they return, Midgard's civilization will be destroyed in an instant! Even if they don't take action, we will eliminate all possible infections and problems. At the source!”

"You Asgardians are not much better." Tony curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"Didn't your brother get arrested by us easily?"

"That's because of his negligence, mortal! Do you want another fight!!!"

Just when the atmosphere here suddenly smelled of gunpowder, Dr. Banner immediately stood up to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else first, Prince Thor. What exactly is the 'Law of the Evil Sword' that the insects believe in that I told you?"

Thor glanced at Tony unhappily and said in a rough voice.

"That is the tradition and philosophy that the swarm has always followed, their law, and their way of survival."

"Everything about the insect swarm, including their power and eternity, is based on the 'worms' that live on them. They need to feed their insects, and through killing and releasing, they don't actually need to devour anything, but they seem to Something that satisfies the worm can be obtained from the act of releasing desire.”

"The insect swarm has a strict hierarchy, starting from the lowest corpse slaves. They need to plunder and kill to feed their 'worms', and at the same time dedicate part of it to the higher-level 'acolyte', who will lead the corpse slaves." In the battle, they ensure that they fight and at the same time hand over more to higher-level knights and wizards. Based on this, they have to hand over the income to the real high-level insect swarm leaders, and the leaders need to bring these nutrients with them. 'Return to the upper-dimensional world and hand it over to the 'god' of the insect swarm."

"This sounds the same as a pyramid scheme, so these aliens believe in pyramid schemes?" Tony mocked as always.

"No, mortals, these insects don't want your waste paper, but your lives and everything you have." Thor sarcastically replied without mercy.

"This social system ensures that each class of the insect swarm, while ensuring its own social status, is also a crazy killing warrior. They will kill foreigners regardless of the cost. You should never let any insect swarm choose to surrender."

"The 'Evil Sword Law' believed in by the King of Soul Reavers is based on this social system and theory - the only criterion for judging the value of a group is whether it can adjust itself to adapt to changing environments. The insect swarms consider themselves to be the 'environment' against which other civilizations and races are judged based on this standard, so their killing will never stop unless they themselves become the species that cannot adapt to the 'environment' and thus lead to extinction."

"Sounds very social Darwinist." Banner sighed.

"These monsters are far more evil than NAZI." Captain America concluded.

"That's not true. The Nazis will take care of the Germanic people after all. It's really a slap in the face of all sociologists that these aliens can survive and develop through this system." Thor shrugged.

"What about the power of these insect swarms? What weapons do they have?" Nick Fury hurriedly asked

"I don't know much," Thor sighed.

"The time when the swarm rose was even before my father's reign. It was Asgard's long past. But the only thing we know is that their soul-stealing king, or the highest-level 'god' of all the swarms, It cannot be eliminated in the material universe."

"Their essence exists in an 'upper-dimensional world' that is outside this world, so they can easily return even if they are killed countless times in the material world. The power of the insect swarm is also based on endless plunder, and killing is Promotion, promotion brings strength.”

"But the good thing is we don't have to face these monsters," Black Widow interjected.

"Loki is under our surveillance, everything will be fine."

"I hope so."

As if to reflect their words, outside the space aircraft carrier, a beam of light reaching into the sky soared into the sky.

…

"You betrayed the right path, betrayed the gods, and you degenerated into a monster!!!"

Holding the king's sword, the traitor Zaas sternly rebuked Oryx who came, but he just tilted his head, and with one sword took away his body, his soul, and everything about him.

Oryx didn't understand why these people could refute this matter while doing what they were doing, clearly killing, but calling for non-existent peace.

He did not understand, nor did he want to understand, these weak theories.

The insect told him, and Oryx also understood what the only law that existed in this dark universe was.

That's adaptation.

Only by adapting to the environment can living things survive, evolve, and develop.

Adapting to the environment means becoming strong, because you have to face not only nature, but also other trappers in the black forest.

Then, the sole value of their species' existence has been determined.

Kill, slaughter, seize, indulge, promote!

The door to the only way has been opened, and all they have to do is accept it.

There is no need to rely on politics, no need to care about stupid bloodline, and no need to care about any ridiculous social status.

Their laws lead to only one path to promotion: fight, keep fighting, prove your worth, and then move to a higher position.

Other than that, they need nothing.

This is the true law of the universe, not the weak social rules on which human beings and life depend.

"So come, my sisters, the door to the Great One has been opened for you."

Oryx looked at his mother and sister, he opened his hands, and the dark light and shadow touched their bodies.

Accept this gift, open your heart, and awaken your darkness.
