Chapter 2284: Chapter 1142: The Beacon That Attracts Calamity (Part 2)

Originally, the homebody witch was contemplating whether to spend some time deciphering the Insect-man language, but now it seems there’s no need.

"This is Ape language, I’ve specifically studied it."

Shirin remained vigilant, responding this way.

"Ape language? What kind of ape looks like that?"

Dorothy asked curiously.

Although she figured the ape mentioned by the other person was probably referring to humans.

As for that, she found herself agreeing more with the saying that humans are the cockroaches of the Western Universe, they’re truly everywhere.

So here comes the question: in the human world, everyone fights cockroaches, but in the Insect-man world, what do insects fight against?

Just as the homebody witch’s thoughts were wandering, the Insect Girl across from her thought for a moment and then answered.

"Female apes look a bit like you but much uglier, something like this?"

As she spoke, mycelium slime emerged once more from Shirin’s body, this time not just on her hands but also her head. When these mycelium slime solidified again, Dorothy couldn’t help but be impressed.

Hmm, this time it’s on point.

It was a face somewhat similar to that of the Insect Queen she had seen in a prophecy earlier; perhaps due to a difference in evolution level, the face wasn’t as perfect as in the prophecy, but it definitely counted as a rare beauty.

"Actually, this is human. Is this your own face, or are you mimicking someone else?"

Dorothy circled around the Insect Girl, suppressing the urge to pinch her, and asked.

"It’s basically my own. I just naturally turned out like this after integrating ape, oh, human genes. If I were an ape, I’d probably look like this."

Shirin instantly understood the intent of this scary witch in front of her and answered truthfully.

After chatting for a while, the Insect Girl wasn’t as tense as before; she could feel that this beautiful and powerful figure named Dorothy indeed harbored no malice toward her.

Moreover, as the other party said, if she had any malice, she wouldn’t be able to resist no matter what.

"Then tell me about your background. How did you end up captured by my fellow tribe members?"

Feeling a bit melancholic, Dorothy asked.

She thought the world of the Insect-men was destroyed by witches, and although she had long known about such things, the cold records online were ultimately different from the personal experiences of the living Insect Girl before her.

As a fellow witch, the homebody witch felt a trace of apology toward the Insect Girl.

But it’s just a trace of apology; after all, she is a witch now, and under no circumstances could she accuse her compatriots for an alien race.

Currently, as a civilian witch, she can only constrain her own actions, and isn’t qualified to impose her standards on others.

Hearing the question from the homebody witch, Shirin was silent for a moment before finally speaking, honestly recounting her experiences, including the strange words of demons.

She really couldn’t understand what those demon words meant, why it said she summoned the Abyss, when she clearly did nothing - she never contacted demons nor conducted any strange rituals, she was simply engaged in her gene research.

So why was the blame for the destruction of the world placed upon her?

Though she wasn’t overly fond of the Insect-man clan, she still was an insect person herself, not expecting to be respected like a Big Worm by her peers, yet unwilling to be seen as an insect rapist either.

In short, Shirin couldn’t understand and refused to accept this.

She now needed someone to explain to her, and the witch in front named Dorothy clearly had the ability to clear her doubts.

After all, previously when she was about to faint, she saw mysterious beings descending from the sky, atop strange rods, resembling female apes, named witches.

She had witnessed firsthand the power of witches, watching them mercilessly annihilate a terrifying demon that had almost single-handedly slaughtered all of Senhai World.

Even if it seemed like these witches attacked by surprise, within Insect culture, stealth attacks were never considered shameful - they were called ambushes, worthy of praise as an art of hunting.

In Shirin’s mind, witches should be a race stronger than demons, so they surely knew the meaning of the demon’s words.

Thus, the Insect Girl looked expectantly at the homebody witch, hoping she could clear her name, as she truly didn’t want to be the culprit of her homeland’s destruction.

Dorothy: "..."

Having listened to Shirin’s account, the homebody witch fell silent too, looking at the Insect Girl with a newfound sense of empathy and closeness.

So the enemies were all brought by you?

She understood this kind of pain far too well, because the Witch World was okay once, but it was she who descended to it in a meteor form during the first timeline, triggering all the subsequent tragedies.

Adam was created attracted by her, Lucifer followed her, and Lord Gabriel of the Glorious followed Lucifer.

Were it not for her, a tiny Pandora World would never have attracted the attention of so many big shots.

She volunteered to sacrifice herself to save the Good Sister in the first timeline partly out of redemption; after all, the trouble she caused required her responsibility, though she ultimately couldn’t fulfill it thoroughly, dying on the spot. Fortunately, Denisha was capable enough to plow through that Hell-beginning.
