Chapter 162 - 162 Planning
162 Planning
Even though the guardian spirit insects had high intelligence, the insect tribe had strict discipline.
When they saw their ruler Ning Shi appear, they all lined up neatly, not daring to be rash.
Ning Shi transformed into a war insect and sent brainwaves to all the bugs.
“Abandon the parasitized creature and return to your original state!”
After receiving the order, the guardian spirit insects began to shrink.
After a while, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, countless tiny guardian spirit insects abandoned their original bodies and returned to their original state.
The guardian spirit insect lieutenants and generals were extremely small in their original state, and their sizes were measured in millimeters.
All the guardian spirit insects gathered together, forming a glowing ball.
Ning Shi turned back into his human form, took out a box with air ventilation from his backpack, and put the ball into the box.
Ning Shi’s goal was very simple. He would bring the guardian spirit insects to Saturn and the World of Moen so that they could live on the bodies of key people and high-level magical beasts.
From there, they could help him gather information.
The innate parasitic ability of the guardian spirit insect was very good at disguising itself. Moreover, its intelligence was extremely high, so it had no problems gathering information.
Because the game system backpack couldn’t hold living creatures, Ning Shi had to transport them personally.
Fortunately, when summoning, the things in Ning Shi’s hand would also be summoned along with the summoning technique.
Following Ilya’s summoning, the guardian spirit insects successfully arrived at Saturn.
Ilya looked at the group of guardian spirit insects in Ning Shi’s hand and asked curiously, “Ning Shi, what kind of strange creatures are they? They’re so weak, but I feel a hint of threat from them.
“Although this threat is so weak that it can be ignored, it’s still too unbelievable!”
Ning Shi knew that the threat that Ilya felt was because there was an extremely low chance that the guardian spirit insect could parasitize Ilya’s body.
He said, “These are the little insects I’ve raised. They have very strong parasitic abilities. I need your help.
“Let’s go to the Kingdom of Mies and the Mieln Federation. I need to ‘plant’ these insects.”
Ilya was proficient in spatial magic and could help Ning Shi travel through Saturn at an extremely fast speed. She was also a master in soul and perception, so she could easily distinguish between good and evil.
Once a guardian spirit insect parasitized a host, the parasitized creature would die. Ning Shi was not a saint, but he was not a butcher who killed the innocent. He needed Ilya to distinguish between good and evil, and specifically find evil people to parasitize.
This way, he would not feel any burden in his heart.
Ilya had never rejected Ning Shi’s requests. She also wanted to see the magical abilities of the guardian spirit insect.
With Ilya’s help, Ning Shi teleported many times and arrived at bode city, the capital of the Kingdom of Mies. This was the administrative center of the Kingdom of Mies, where all the major high-ranking officials and politicians lived.
Ning Shi took Ilya to visit them one by one, from the head of state of the Kingdom of Mies to the high-ranking military generals, all of them were carefully screened.
In the end, even Ilya let out an inexplicable sigh.
“I’ve realized that the Yunmeng Kingdom and the Kingdom of Mies are very different. In your Kingdom, although some officials are bad people, most of the officials have red or green spiritual auras, which are relatively healthy.
“However, the souls of the officials here are of very mixed colors, and most of them are black. This means that they have been completely dominated by desire and profit, and are a group of bad guys through and through.”
Ilya spread out her hands and sighed. “Are these the officials of the Kingdom of Mies who are produced by the most advanced democratic election system? I can’t understand how the people of the Kingdom of Mies have the magical ability to accurately select these bad people to be the leaders.”
Ning Shi was also speechless. He and Ilya had identified dozens of key officials, but only a few of them were normal. From the aura of the souls of most of the officials, they had committed many crimes.
“It’s not the people of the Kingdom of Mies’ problem,” he explained to Ilya, “They have no choice.
“Most of the time, they can only make a relatively better choice between the bad guys and the worse ones.
“Moreover, many of them might have been corrupted by the bad atmosphere after becoming officials.”
Although he was surprised by the political situation of the Kingdom of Mies and sympathized with the people of the Kingdom of Mies, Ning Shi would not be soft-hearted in action.
He had sent out a total of 48 guardian spirit insects to live in the bodies of 48 key political figures.
These guardian spirit insects would abandon everything else and focus on transforming into humans.
These people were generally not very strong. In a few days, the lieutenants would completely absorb the nutrition of the parasitized creature and turn into a human exactly like the parasitized creature.
At that time, he would hide in the Kingdom of Mies, and Ning Shi would be able to grasp the movements and situation of the Kingdom of Mies immediately.
This did not mean that Ning Shi controlled the Kingdom of Mies. Just like the Mieln Federation, the power in the Kingdom of Mies was now controlled by an organization established by the overlords in the country, called the Mies Council.
According to Ning Shi’s understanding, dozens of Overlords of the Pantheon of Gods had also joined the Mies Council after the temple was officially recognized.
After absorbing the powerhouses of the Pantheon of Gods, the Mies Council had no more opponents in the country.
Therefore, after Ning Shi parasitized some important officials, he also secretly parasitized a group of Tier 8 and Tier 9 awakeners in the Pantheon of Gods and the Mies Council.
The success rate of a guardian spirit insect lieutenant parasitizing a Tier 8 awakened was above 80%, and the success rate of it parasitizing a Tier 9 awakener was around 50%.
As for the general, the success rate of parasitizing a Tier 9 awakener was 90%.
The lieutenant guardian spirit insect had six chances to parasitize a host, while a general had ten chances. Once all the chances were used up, the guardian spirit insect would die.
Under Ilya’s soul control spell, these awakeners were unable to resist at all.
Ning Shi sent out more than 200 lieutenants and one general to the Mies Council and the Pantheon of Gods.
After that, Ning Shi went to the Evil Spirit to check it out. He found that the important followers and key personnel of the Evil Spirit were almost all controlled by the evil spirit insects.
The guardian spirit insect could not parasitize them.
Ning Shi had only come this time to set up an intelligence system. He didn’t want to fully develop with the Evil Spirit World for the time being, so he didn’t cause any trouble.
Seeing that there was no chance, he changed his target.
They arrived at Freedom City, the capital of the Mieln Federation.
Just like what he did in the Kingdom of Mies, Ning Shi left behind hundreds of guardian spirit insect lieutenants and one guardian spirit insect general.
In this way, Ning Shi could grasp every move of the two most powerful countries in the West, the Kingdom of Mies and the Mieln Federation.
As Ilya was suppressed by the world will in the Saturn world, Ning Shi could not figure out the specific situation and cards of the freedom council and the Mies Council.
Therefore, Ning Shi’s operation this time was extremely secretive and did not alert the Overlord realm powerhouses in the West.
Ning Shi was clear that his most important goal now was to take down the World of Moen’s origin treasure and accumulate strength to fight the owner of the origin treasure in the Evil Spirit World.
Although he wasn’t afraid of the Overlords in the West, it was better to avoid meaningless conflicts.
In the process of parasitism, when Ilya controlled the high-level figures of the Mieln Federation, she learned the location of the world passage from them.
Cowboy County, Texas State, Mieln Federation.
Ning Shi said to Ilya, “Ilya, thank you for your help. Do you want to come with me to see the world passage on Saturn? If you’re going, you’ll have to find a way to hide. I don’t want to have any conflicts for the time being.”
Ilya hugged Ning Shi’s right hand and kissed him on the cheek. “No need, my combat partner. I’ve seen the world passage, it’s not interesting.
“I’m going back to school first. The people of the Kingdom of Mies and the Mieln Federation are too dirty and evil. I want to go back and watch some funny variety shows to wash my eyes.”
Although Ilya was a Taikoo Red Dragon that had lived for thousands of years, she spent most of her time sleeping. Her age was equivalent to a human’s 20 years old.
Therefore, in her mind, Ilya was straightforward, free, and honest, without much malice. After seeing the hypocritical and evil politicians of the Mieln Federation and the Kingdom of Mies, she also broadened her horizons.
After Ilya left, Ning Shi turned into an evil spirit and found the world passage of the Mieln Federation.
The body of the evil spirit was invisible, and the Mieln Federation Army and awakeners stationed at the passage could not detect him at all. Ning Shi walked in with a swagger.
Behind him, there were millimeter-sized bugs that flew into the world passage in a very scattered manner.
The climate in Texas State was hot and humid, and there were many kinds of insects there. At the military base, all kinds of flying insects were jumping around.
The guardian spirit insect was so small that no one paid any attention to it.
Just like that, Ning Shi’s main body entered the World of Moen with the remaining 9000 guardian spirit insect lieutenants and eight guardian spirit insect generals.
