Chapter 2283: Chapter 1142: The Beacon That Draws Calamity

Dorothy had to admit that she had previously misjudged.

She originally thought that this insect girl should be weaker than the other insect people around, but now it seems this girl is quite the hidden powerhouse, exploding with unexpected strength.

Of course, only a small powerhouse by insect standards, whereas by witch standards...

Hmm, every time Alice sees Dorothy, she’s so excited that her sister headbutts are far more powerful than this insect girl’s full-force attack.

As for this attack, which was only brute strength without technique, and not very strong at that, naturally seemed weak in the eyes of this homebody witch who is a Martial God, especially since she recently acquired the Magic Eye, making such attacks appear laughably slow.

However, it was precisely because of the slow-motion effect that Dorothy noticed something interesting.

She saw at the moment the insect girl struck, her originally human-like hands disintegrated into a semi-liquid fluid structure similar to mycelium slime, quickly morphing and reorganizing before solidifying again, finally forming extremely sharp scythe limbs.

Moreover, this wasn’t just a simple change in appearance but a true limb transformation, replacing the original slender and weak arms with these powerful scythe limbs, even synchronizing the transformation of the internal bones and muscles.

This was already a genetic level change.

Of course, if it were just this, Dorothy wouldn’t be too surprised, as she can achieve this through transformation magic. But the issue is that the insect girl’s transformation, while involving magic, was mainly not magic but more like a super-fast genetic mutation, with magic acting merely as an energy source.

"Goodness, I was just about to check out the Mechanical Ascension in the Mechanical Wilderness, and instead, I encountered a genetic ascension halfway. Fine, that’s quite impressive."

Dorothy thought to herself.

However, this only made her more curious about the insect girl’s body structure.

In a sense, witches’ talent specialization evolution also counts as one form of genetic ascension, but it’s not purely genetic evolution, as it also incorporates magical power, making it a form of magicgene technology.

The witches’ infinite evolution ability comes from the God King’s Blood, which is Denisha’s innate special talent.

And now this insect girl seems to possess abilities similar to Denisha’s, but the Good Sister’s evolution is more inclined towards a magical idealism direction, while this insect girl is inclined towards a physical materialism direction.

The Western Universe is a magical idealistic world, therefore, from the perspective of evolutionary limits, there’s no doubt Denisha’s evolution is more promising, exceeding by more than just a bit, but that doesn’t mean the insect girl’s evolution ability is incapable, as the physical laws of the Western Universe also exist, meaning the lower limit of physical evolution is even higher.

Truly a Catastrophe Seed contestant that incites her inspiration, definitely interesting.

And now, she finally managed to get a clear look at the insect girl’s face...

Emmmm, how to put it, you really can’t expect too much from an insect’s appearance.

Although she saw in the prophecy the future insect queen that was so dreamily beautiful, comparable to an Audrey or senior Fanny’s world-class beauty.

But clearly, the insect girl, still in the larval stage, hasn’t evolved to perfection, this frankly cannot be described as chilling, only as somewhat horror-inducing.

Though her eyes are large, they are compound eyes, triggering trypophobia, though she has a nose and mouth, her nose has a hard carapace, and her mouth has ant-like large teeth, while the inside structure of the open mouth makes one not dare entertain any bold thoughts, considering the tightly packed worm-like internal teeth resemble a meat grinder, truly terrifying.

The only feature that matches the dreamlike beauty of the insect queen is at the human ear area, where this insect girl has a pair of beautiful butterfly-wing-like structures, possibly her ear pinnae, with the delicate wing-ears adorned in brilliant patterns, these are truly attractive.

"Alright, relax, I mean you no harm, truly, if I wanted to do something, resistance would be useless."

Dorothy flicked her finger gently, causing the insect girl to bounce back several steps until she collided with the cage bars.

This scene instantly made the other insect people in the cage lower their heads, abandoning the little schemes they still harbored.

"My name is Dorothy, I’m a witch, what’s your name?"

The homebody witch asked as amicably as possible.

To prevent the insect girl from not understanding the common human language, she specifically used a comprehension magic that allows others to grasp her meaning even if they don’t understand the language directly.

However, unexpectedly, the insect girl paused for a moment before finally speaking.

"Taizi Clan, Shirin."

Her human universal language was surprisingly fluent.

"Uh, you actually know human universal language?"

Dorothy was taken aback by this, not expecting her opponent to be quite the talented insect.

Prior to the girl waking, she had actually probed and observed the other insect people, but unfortunately, this group of bulky insect people did seem rather unintelligent, not understanding her questions, even with comprehension magic, they merely responded with a few insect calls.
