Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 283: Cataclysm in the Snow Kingdom

At this moment, near the border of the Snow Kingdom.

A red and a green humanoid insectoid stood silently at the forefront of the group, quietly breathing in the cold air of the Snow Kingdom.

Although this land was perpetually covered in ice and snow, compared to their barren, lifeless homeland long turned desolate...

Conditions here were much better!

"Indeed... the air in this world is much fresher."

The red humanoid insectoid’s face showed an almost intoxicated expression.

Its carapace-like arms slowly unfolded, as if to embrace this fierce and pure world.

However, the insectoid next to it, green in color, didn’t rush to enjoy it. It paused, spoke cautiously:

"The place we found this time... seems a bit strange."

"Why would our nemesis, the Demon Clan, voluntarily disclose this world’s coordinates to us?"

Hearing its companion’s doubts, the red insectoid’s expression turned serious as well.

This matter indeed exuded an eerie air.

While the relationship between the insectoids and the Demon Clan wasn’t as antagonistic as that between other races and the Demon Clan, their conflicts were not few.

The Demon Clan had no reason to help them find a new world to devour...

"Have all the insectoids be cautious, just in case this is a trick by the Demon Clan."

"Although we, The Swarm, fear no challenges, still..."

"We can’t afford senseless sacrifices either."

"However, this time, the authorities sending us has two purposes: to investigate the truth of this world..."

"And to uncover the true intentions of the Demon Clan."

"But—"

The tone shifted, with a chilling gleam in its eyes:

"Since the Demon Clan willingly sent the coordinates, regardless of what they’re scheming... we, The Swarm, will take over this world first!"

Upon hearing this, the green insectoid nodded heavily.

The Swarm’s numbers were countless, and the energy needed to sustain the entire race was astronomical.

To survive, they could only continue invading and devouring world after world.

Soon, the two insectoids reached a consensus.

They raised their arms and silently waved forward—

The dense mass of insects began to surge, steadily advancing towards the heart of the Snow Kingdom.

However, at that moment, a soldier insect slightly larger than the others quickly approached the two humanoid insectoids.

The antennae on its forehead vibrated at a high frequency, transmitting information.

Only Totem Level insectoids could take humanoid forms; the rest of the race remained in their insect forms, communicating through antennae.

Receiving the intelligence from this Half-step Totem level soldier insect, the faces of the two humanoid insectoids changed abruptly.

Their figures flashed, instantly appearing at the forefront of The Swarm’s army.

Following the soldier’s indicated direction, they discovered a cave half-hidden by ice and snow, within which lay a giant bear, snow-white all over, sleeping deeply...

The Life Energy emanating from it was extremely rich, instinctively stirring their excitement.

Located at the northernmost border of the Alternate Space, the Snow Kingdom rarely saw other races nearby, not just because of the harsh environment, but also because it was home to one of the four great Vicious Beasts, the "Frost Serpent."

Unlike the solitary Nine-Hells Centipede King, the Frost Serpent ruled the entire Snow Kingdom, commanding many powerful Vicious Beasts under its reign.

And this white giant bear was one of the Frost Serpent’s reliable aides.

Currently, the giant bear was still immersed in sleep, utterly unaware of the impending danger—

It didn’t know it was already locked on by a group of The Swarm, hungry and eager to feast.

Gazing at the concentrated Life Energy exuded by the white giant bear, the two Totem-Class insectoids almost drooled.

Their homeland had long been gnawed barren, everything desolate.

Unlike the Demon Clan, who targeted blood for sustenance, The Swarm fed on everything containing Life Energy.

And within the barren expanse of the Snow Kingdom, finding even a single decent plant was impossibly rare.

Therefore, upon seeing this sleeping giant bear, a glimmer of greed erupted in their eyes.

In the next moment, the two humanoid insectoids could no longer contain themselves and pounced toward the cave—

Their ferocious mandibles savagely bit into the body of the white giant bear.

The sudden sharp pain instantly jolted the giant bear awake. It opened its eyes to see two bizarre creatures it had never seen before launching an attack on it.

As the overlord of this region, how could it tolerate being treated as prey?

"Roar——!!!"

The white giant bear let out a deafening roar, its enormous body rising up, swinging its sharp claws toward the two insectoids with intent to tear.

However, both insectoids possessed Totem-Class power, while the giant white bear was merely Half-step Totem.

Even without the insectoids making a deliberate defense, their innate hard carapace meant the giant bear’s bites caused no harm, but instead, the recoil shattered its sharp teeth.

At that moment, the white giant bear finally realized it was no match for these two strange creatures.

Without hesitation, it turned to flee.

But how could the two insectoids, starved to the brink, allow their meal to escape?

In an instant, they caught up to the giant bear, their sharp mandibles biting hard into its throat.

In utter despair, realizing no hope for escape, the white giant bear, in its final moments, gathered all its remaining strength...

Transmitted a signal of extreme danger towards the depths of the snowfield.

Across the entirety of the Snow Kingdom’s domain, the forces of the Frost Serpent and the Snow Maiden had long occupied their territories.

Though they divided lands, they always maintained a state of mutual deterrence without interference—

The Snow Maiden and Frost Serpent lived in peace, not meddling in each other’s affairs.

And now, the signal of danger sent out at the cost of the white giant bear’s life quickly traversed the desolate, cold snowfield, reaching distant lands.

Concurrently, in the depths of an abyssal ice cave, a blue giant serpent, hundreds of meters long and covered in a thick ice armor, slowly lifted its massive head.

"White Bear... dead?"

Its serpentine vertical pupils suddenly contracted, showing a hint of shock.

The strength of the white bear was among the top under its command, not even giving it a chance to escape, only able to issue a warning?

"Could it be... the Guardian of the Snow Maiden acted?"

In the entire Snow Domain, capable of such swift destruction of the white bear, what first came to mind was only the mysterious Guardian under the Snow Maiden’s command.

However...

Both forces had coexisted peacefully for so many years, giving no reason for the Snow Maiden to suddenly act against them.

A deep vigilance flashed through the Frost Serpent’s eyes.

Unlike the reckless Nine-Hells Centipede King, it wasn’t without caution or wits.

"Roar——!!!"

A snake’s roar piercing through the ice suddenly sounded, its waves carrying biting cold, spreading instantly across the entire Snow Domain.

All Vicious Beasts hearing this rallying cry, no matter where they were—

They immediately turned and began rapidly gathering toward the ice cave where the Frost Serpent resided...
