Chapter 129: The Male Insectoid’s Confession

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Male Insectoid’s Confession

Time flew like a dog running across an open field; seeing that only twenty days remained before the turn of the new year, an event that shook the entire world broke out.

Ever since the film [Kiss of the Black Widow] was screened, inadvertently exposing the thousand-year secret of "Biological Mechas" as well as the human form of the high-grade Insectoid race, the relationship as tense as fire and water between the two races in the meteor belt border region suddenly fell into an... unprecedentedly bizarre state.

The bloody clashes at the wormholes stopped completely. On the side of the Elders of the twelve Insectoid tribes, after hauling the three thousand punk kids who had run away from home to find lovers back to their lairs by the scruff of the neck to lock the doors for a lesson, they felt both ashamed and curious as to what kind of magic that film actually held to leave the juniors in their tribes so infatuated, so they secretly turned on the projectors to take a look.

Once they finished watching, not only the young insectoids, but even the parents and the upper-class nobility on the Mother Planet of the Insectoid race were completely conquered by this tragic love! Alongside that, a great many insectoids had their souls stolen away by the acting along with the both innocent and bewitchingly seductive looks of the lead actor playing the role of Insectoid King Sylas!

And the figure most heavily "poisoned" on the Mother Planet was none other than the unmarried young King of one of the strongest kingdoms on the other side of the spatial abyss: the Hornet Insectoid King!

Unlike the Black Widow Spider tribe or the Green Mantis tribe, which had the habit of the female devouring the male after mating, the Hornet tribe was a supreme warrior race worshiping absolute strength, led by a 2S-grade male Insectoid King. Insectoid King Ignis had just turned a full one hundred and twenty years old this year, equivalent to a twenty-four-year-old human youth. He possessed the most terrifying combat power on the Mother Planet, yet his temperament was extremely arrogant, picky to a fault.

Throughout the past several decades, the Elders in the Hornet tribe had arranged no fewer than a hundred blind dates with the most outstanding beauties of the other eleven tribes, yet Ignis needed only a single glance to find all manner of faults - if he was not criticizing the other party’s Biological Mecha shell for having tacky colors, he was criticizing the other party for speaking crudely without an artistic soul.

Even so, since the day he happened to confiscate a secret projector from the patrol soldiers and watched the film [Kiss of the Black Widow], the noble single Insectoid King of the Hornet tribe had stayed up for three days and three nights straight rewatching the scene where Elijah wore black silk hanging upside down beneath the spiderweb in the rainy night, until Ignis knew the youth’s every single blink by heart!

Eight o’clock in the evening on December 11th, year 3095.

While billions of users across all twelve human star systems were browsing the web watching culinary livestreams, watching yarn-knitting videos, or discussing films, the optical screens on everyone’s smart watches suddenly flashed with a brilliant black-and-gold color at the exact same time!

The Central Smart Unit of the Interstellar Connection network issued an emergency notification:

[Warning! A 2S+-grade mental power wave combined with a hyperfrequency quantum signal has been detected from the other side of Wormhole No. 01 forcibly connecting into the public communication channel of the Lumina Galaxy! The content contains no malicious attack code; the system is automatically switching to galaxy-wide broadcast mode!]

Before netizens could even gather their wits to wonder why the other side of the wormhole was broadcasting onto the human network, across the virtual sky of all the Interstellar Connection network homepages as well as the large screens at the plazas of the central planets, a breathtakingly majestic, magnificent scene immediately appeared!

It was the Imperial Palace plaza built from blocks of blazing golden amber crystal towering into the blue clouds, belonging to the Hornet tribe on the Mother Planet.

Behind it were tens of thousands of gigantic, glossy black-striped yellow Hornet Biological Mechas lined up in a solemn guard-of-honor formation, simultaneously flapping their wings to create streams of sparkling golden light dust like a meteor shower across the sky.

Right in the center of a high platform made of lapis lazuli, a man standing nearly one meter ninety tall wearing a flawless human form stood ramrod straight.

He had short hair as blazingly golden as sunlight alongside razor-sharp amber eyes so beautiful they were bewitching; upon his high forehead faintly appeared a small biological crown made of golden horn, while behind his back a pair of translucent, metallic-glinting bee wings vibrated lightly, brimming with authority.

He did not wear crude battle armor on his body, instead wearing a Royal formal suit... imitating the exact style of the formal suits of human nobility, yet studded entirely with SS-grade crystal diamonds as large as the eggs of chickens raised on planet Sirius!

Behind the young Insectoid King’s back there were even over a hundred gigantic treasure chests with their lids open, packed to the brim with SS-grade energy cores, original golden silk, thousand-year royal jelly, and mountains of mineral stones so rare they would dazzle anyone who looked at them!

Before the eyes of billions of human citizens and all twelve Insectoid tribes watching through transceiver stations, Insectoid King Ignis of the Hornet tribe placed his right hand over his left chest, bowing to perform the most solemn marriage proposal ritual following the exact customs of human nobility that he had just picked up through films, raising a deep, warm voice that echoed throughout cyberspace:

"To all the citizens of the Lumina Galaxy, and to the one who stole my royal heart right from the very first glance - Elijah Hall!"

The entire Lumina Galaxy currently drinking water or eating dinner simultaneously sprayed every last bit of food in their mouths right onto their screens!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, the young Insectoid King famously known for being cold-blooded on the battlefield revealed an infatuated, utterly serious gaze, his resonant voice transmitting every single word clearly:

"I am Ignis, the incumbent Monarch of the Hornet tribe, the strongest 2S-grade warrior on the Mother Planet, currently completely single, having never associated with any individual! Elijah Hall, I have watched your film thirty-six times. I do not care whether you are human or of my own kind; so long as it is you, your beauty and your soul deserve to be cherished upon the noblest throne!"

Ignis waved his hand to point at the one hundred treasure chests piled as high as mountains behind his back, declaring a sentence that shook both civilizations:

"My Hornet race is absolutely faithful for an entire lifetime, never possessing the habit of devouring our mates, with a lifespan lasting five hundred years, while all resources within my territory are held by the Insectoid Queen!

Today, upon the honor of the Hornet tribe, I officially send my marriage proposal to Elijah Hall of the Hall clan! So long as you nod in agreement to become my Insectoid Queen, these one hundred chests of SS-grade mineral stones are merely a meeting gift; I am willing to sign an eternal peace treaty with humanity and cede outright the three planets richest in mineral resources in the Wormhole No. 01 belt as a betrothal gift to bring you home as my bride!"

One second. Two seconds. Five seconds.

When the live broadcast screen from the Mother Planet had barely ended with the image of the dashingly handsome Insectoid King raising his hand to shoot a... heart made of glowing golden pollen dust toward the lens, the entire Interstellar Connection network of humanity as well as the underground forum of the Insectoid race officially blew apart into smithereens!

The server system of the Interstellar Connection platform, which had only just been upgraded after the film incident a few months ago, once again sounded a red alert because billions of comments were screaming at the exact same time:

[FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! SOMEONE SLAP ME ONCE TO SEE IF I AM DREAMING OR NOT?! THE KING OF THE INSECTOID RACE JUST INTERCEPTED THE GALACTIC NETWORK TO PUBLICLY CONFESS HIS LOVE TO THE THIRD YOUNG MASTER OF THE HALL FAMILY?!!]

[And even saying "I have watched your film thirty-six times", even saying "my race does not devour our mates", and at the end even knowing how to shoot a heart! This world has truly gone mad, mad from the insectoid soldiers all the way up to their very own King!]

[Hold on a second! Did you all hear clearly the betrothal gift that Hornet Insectoid King just offered?! One hundred chests of SS-grade mineral stones as a meeting gift, signing an eternal peace treaty with humanity, and ceding outright THREE MINERAL PLANETS as a betrothal gift to bring the bride home?! Mother, this betrothal gift is enough to buy out half the Imperial treasury outright!]

[The third young master of the Hall family got so immersed in playing the role of the Black Widow Insectoid King in the film that now he has hooked a genuine, real-life 2S-grade Insectoid King demanding to bring him home as the Insectoid Queen! The looks of Elijah Hall are truly a cosmic-level strategic weapon!]

Not only were human netizens going crazy, but on the other side of the spatial abyss, all twelve Insectoid tribes were so shocked their jaws dropped to the floor as well:

[Holy soul! Just the other day the Grand Elder of the Hornet tribe was scolding us youths who crossed the border to find lovers for disgracing our ancestors, yet today their very own King has opened a galaxy-wide broadcast bringing three whole planets to propose marriage to a human Omega!]

[Ha ha ha, it turns out His Majesty the Insectoid King stayed single for one hundred and twenty years just to wait until he met his true love through a screen! I support His Majesty bringing the beauty Sylas home to be our Insectoid Queen!]

While both worlds were boiling over like a pan of hot oil, in the living room of the villa on planet Sirius, the main character of the marriage proposal of the century - Elijah Hall - was holding half a peeled apple slice in his hand, his entire body turned to stone as he stared fixedly at the optical screen that had just gone dark.

Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, and Alexander had barely connected a video call from the Capital when every one of their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Mr. Hall slammed the table and roared:

"Where did that insolent winged insect crawl out from?! He even dares demand to take my son to the other side of the wormhole to be some Insectoid Queen?! Daydreaming in broad daylight!"

Liam sat beside them patting baby Sane’s back while holding back his laughter until his shoulders shook, turning to poke lightly at Elijah’s waist:

"Hey, cross-species superstar, there is a whole handsome, wealthy 2S-grade King willing to offer up both his realm and human peace as a betrothal gift to bring you home as his Queen. What do you think, are you planning to consider a love that transcends species?"

Elijah was startled back to his senses, his chubby face immediately flushing bright red with embarrassment from his neck all the way up to the roots of his hair! The boy sprang straight up off the sofa, clutching his head as he howled:

"Consider your head, Liam! I only played the role of a spider in a film, I am not a real insect - why would I go marry a hornet as my husband! On top of that he even spoke in that cheesy voice in front of billions of people across the Galaxy; tomorrow what face will I have left to set foot inside the Film Academy, heavens above?!!"
