Chapter 588: 164
This tumultuous mission can now be declared complete.
Under Sandra’s command, the Micro Army made use of their all-terrain vehicle to swiftly evacuate the underground core and reach the surface.
The shuttle was already waiting at the designated location.
Everyone switched to the shuttle and quickly returned to the Cloud Rainbow.
Once in the landing bay, decontamination was carried out, they exchanged their protective suits for interstellar variants, and the Micro Army split into two groups.
The research team headed to the Medical Cabin and laboratory, tallying the inspection and examination data on transported insects and insect eggs. Then, they engaged in live experimentation on the insect race, before synthesizing all data into a report.
Sandra led the reconnaissance and combat teams to the cockpit.
“Display the status of the old ‘God Devouring Worm ‘.”
Having settled in the captain’s seat, Sandra quickly slipped into the role and issued orders.
“Understood.”
Tower Spirit responded and promptly displayed real-time images of the imprisoned old “God Devouring Worm ” on a large screen.
This old “God Devouring Worm ” seemed to be literally waiting for death.
The Micro Army found it in the same state it was in two days ago, no change at all.
Not to mention a rebellion, it hadn’t even moved.
“Were any anomalies discovered during the surveillance period?”
After observing for a while, Sandra asked Tower Spirit directly.
“No abnormalities.”
The Spirit gave an answer that surprised no one.
If an anomaly had truly occurred during surveillance on the Cloud Rainbow, Tower Spirit would have notified the Micro Army to evacuate long ago.
Sandra’s question was merely a procedural confirmation.
After a moment of silence, Sandra made the decision to avoid any complications and return to the Academy headquarters.
“Return home.”
After reviewing the mission, ensuring no oversights, Sandra issued the order.
“Understood.”
Tower Spirit accepted the order, immediately changing the Cloud Rainbow’s course. The regular engine powered up, reaching near-light speed in an extremely short amount of time.
After Cloud Rainbow began its journey back from Level 3 Insect World and towards the Academy headquarters, two shadowy figures appeared in the star system the Cloud Rainbow had just vacated.
“Are you satisfied now?”
Dean Frist queried the Lady Lisandra standing beside him.
“Satisfied? It’s just passable.”
Lady Lisandra said expressionlessly, “She’s still too naive.”
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Dean Frist’s mouth, he said helplessly, “When we were Sandra’s age, we might not have done better than her, especially…”
“Especially what?”
Lady Lisandra’s tone suddenly turned chilly, “Especially what? Just say what you want to say!”
Dean Frist took a deep breath: “Especially at that time, you were completely love-struck!”
“What did you say?”
Lady Lisandra’s voice was dangerously low, “Say that again?”
“Again?”
Dean Frist laughed coldly, “Not just once, even if it’s countless times, I’d say the same. You were love-struck back then, nowhere near as good as Sandra now. So, don’t forcibly impart what you consider good on Sandra. Let her mess up if she wants to. As long as she survives, she will definitely grow stronger in the future.”
Lady Lisandra was thoroughly provoked, greatly annoyed, but she didn’t refute, nor did she attack Dean Frist.
Because what Dean Frist said was the truth!
With a step, she disappeared.
Dean Frist restored his calm, staring at the trapped old “God Devouring Worm” that Lady Lisandra had specifically left for Sandra.
With a light tap of his finger, the false illusion on the old “God Devouring Worm”, which made it seem as if it were at death’s door, dissipated, revealing the truth.
A young “God Devouring Worm” equivalent to a Level 4 Extraordinary!
If Sandra had attacked with reckless abandon, mistakenly assuming it was an old “God Devouring Worm”, the Micro Army might not have been destroyed, but they would definitely have faced a tough battle.
At that time, the constraints Lady Lisandra had placed would have been released due to the attack.
The young “God Devouring Worm” would have been able to perfectly display its stealth and prophecy abilities, among others.
In a face-to-face confrontation, only Link could withstand the “God Devouring Worm’s” attack, others would be injured with just a touch!
Sandra had successfully avoided this trap on her return mission, thus it could be considered a success.
Dean Frist lightly tapped his finger, wiping out the young “God Devouring Worm” who had anticipated its imminent death and had begun to struggle furiously.
Then, he commented on the trap Lady Lisandra had set:
“Unnecessary!”
