Chapter 733: Chapter 389: Worm Tribe of the Chaos Abyss_1

Ivita looked at the insect men hiding among the crowd with confusion. "Who are you?"

The insect men in the crowd all laughed grimly.

They stepped out from the fearful crowd.

"We thought a clueless fool came to Lombardy Duchy to look for trouble with us."

"You don’t know anything, not even who we are."

"Every person in the Lombardy Duchy swears loyalty to the Iron Crown at birth. But if they betray this oath, they will be punished and become puppets of the Iron Crown. They will live and die on this land, controlled by the Iron Crown whether they are alive or dead."

Ivita looked at the group of grinning insect men and calmly said, "I have three questions. You said these people betrayed the Iron Crown. What did they do?"

A fat man in his middle age with both eyes eaten by black bugs, causing terror and nauseating onlookers said to Ivita, "One question at a time, foreigner not under the jurisdiction of Iron Crown Law."

"For your first question, some humans have killed the inheritors of the Iron Crown, and not just once. The murderer was a citizen of our country."

Ivita nodded. "What does this have to do with you? You’re just bugs."

A middle-aged man controlled by a large worm-like insect closed his horrifying eyes. "The Iron Crown once made a pact with the Chaos Abyss. Once the Iron Crown has no heir, the Chaos Abyss has the right to possess the Iron Crown and return this land to a state of chaotic death."

"But there is a condition - we must kill all those who have betrayed the Iron Crown."

"We are only fulfilling a once-made promise."

As the insect man spoke these words, the port’s Great Witch rebutted angrily, "This is a blatant scam."

"You deceived the ageing Iron Crown king into signing such a ridiculous contract. A contract obtained through deception, don’t you think it’s invalid?"

The Hearthstone Witch beside Ivita wanted to retort a few times, but in the end, she didn’t speak.

She fell into contemplation.

Does a contract procured through deceit still count?

The Hearthstone Witch whispered to Ivita, "It seems the Lombardy Duchy is in the wrong. Since there was a promise, regardless of how it came about, if they tricked you, it just means they’re skillful. They even want to deny their debt."

"However, we don’t need to reason with the infamous Chaos Abyss."

Ivita looked at the Hearthstone Witch wordlessly.

Ivita asked the insect men, "My third question, why don’t you directly find and kill the murderer who repeatedly killed the Iron Crown heirs? Why murder the innocent people in this city?"

The insect men were getting impatient.

"All people of the Lombardy Duchy are guilty. Besides, we can’t find the killer of those heirs. A fearsome force seems to pervade the capital of this country, damaging or killing all those who approach it. The Chaos Abyss sensed that this ancient power even surpasses the Chaos Abyss."

"Wizard, this city will soon fall to the Chaos Abyss. Over three hundred thousand primal insects of the Chaos Abyss have been dispatched to infiltrate this land. The insects will parasitize human bodies and begin to breed, but will not spread to anyone outside those of Lombardy. Until the entire territory descends into chaotic soil and sinks into the Endless Abyss, this will never stop. The law has lost its power over us, for we are merely claiming what legally belongs to us."

"Wizard, you’re not allowed to leave this city, you can’t step out!"

The Hearthstone Witch felt uneasy, she said, "You said there’s a power in the capital more ancient than you. That’s impossible. The Chaos Abyss is the first thing that appeared in all creation. There can’t be any power more ancient than Chaos Abyss on this world. Even though Chaos Abyss has lost its power over the world because it is too old, this fact cannot change."

The obese middle-aged man seemed to be suffering, twisting his body, "That’s the way it is."

Ivita turned to the Hearthstone Witch and asked, "What is the Chaos Abyss? Is it a place like Hell?"

The Hearthstone Witch shook her head. "Hell is underground while Chaos Abyss is in the human world. Legend has it that it is located in the far south of the Magic Black Forest, where all life forms first appeared. Recalling the myriad of oddities there, everything is indistinct, filled with darkness, decadence, hedonism, and a completely different environment from the Magic Black Forest."

"Because everything is indistinct there and everything is in reverse, even laws do not exist there, hence the basic forms of the creatures from the Chaos Abyss are insect-like. The Chaos Abyss believes that humans were once a kind of bug in the Chaos Abyss, called the Brain Eater."

"It’s a bug with a very large head but an extremely weak body, surviving by sucking the brain pulp from living beings. The Dark Queen once used divination to verify the claim of the Chaos Abyss, but it was not confirmed."

The insect men became furious. "Lie! The Dark Queen tampered with the result. Chaos Abyss is the origin of all things! We merely want to return the people of the Lombardy Duchy to their original state in the Chaos Abyss."
