The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 231 - 143: Sea Suppressing Archipelago
Chapter 231: Chapter 143: Sea Suppressing Archipelago
The Mirror Space Above the Ocean
The Five Sea Dominator is also extremely satisfied with the current progress.
"There are less than ten days left till the end of the Cycle Challenge, and according to our pace, this Floating Island should be completed in another two days.
The church requires too much space; without linking ships together to create a large Floating Island, it’s impossible to provide ample surface area at sea...
It’s really thanks to the remnants of the Witch Clan, knowing that I am the Sea Lord, they even granted me the knowledge of ship islands.
Unfortunately, the distortion is too severe, the information utterly fragmented, but that’s still enough for me to construct this sea floating island comparable to a large building.
If only the infusion of the witches’ leftover information didn’t cause headaches..."
The Five Sea Dominator has mixed feelings about these periodic headaches; on one hand, they bring some disturbance to her and the ship’s witches, but on the other hand, they have provided them with much useful knowledge.
This includes knowledge of technology and Magic, such as the large mechanical Floating Island knowledge obtained this time, as well as knowledge about the Anti-gravity Array.
The former has been utilized by her, disassembling ships in the Mirror Space and crafting step by step into their own large Floating Island.
The latter has attracted even her sister’s attention; unfortunately, the battle reports can’t transfer specific information and only conveyed interest in this knowledge through the text mixed into the investments.
Of course, besides these, most of the information concerns the Primordial Witch.
If it weren’t for the fact that they had not undertaken any expeditions while staying in the Mirror Space, she really would want to keep the fleet in this instance, continuing to listen to the information emitted by the witches of this world.
Unfortunately, the dangerous creatures and seaweeds in the surrounding seas have never ceased, and unable to leave the Mirror Space, they are unable to obtain any resources, only able to work on the goods on the ship.
It’s just that the witches no longer need normal food, and the Mirror Space also has an abundance of Magic Power to draw from, capable of sustaining the witches’ survival.
But this is sheer torture for the battle-loving witches; every week they hear about the slaughter outside and they just can’t wait to join the battle immediately.
However, in the last report, the battles outside are nearing their end, and after they go out, it should be time to switch areas and start a new round of killings.
It is this goal that keeps these witches hooked, allowing them to treat the present as preparation before the Hunting.
"I wonder how my sister is doing..."

Area 27, the Sea Suppressing Archipelago Base Station
Surrounding the central Portal Giant Tree, many tall trees stand on the largest main island of this archipelago, connecting up to form the Giant Tree Witch City.
This is also a city specially authorized by Bai Yi, to serve as the Witch Clan’s first colonial settlement outside, with a name identical to the new name of this archipelago, called Sea Suppressing City.
It symbolizes the first solid step for the witches to guard the ocean.
Under normal circumstances, as the witches’ newly established seafront base, this place would always be busy with the Insect Swarm and witches, working hard on the new city’s construction.
But today, Sea Suppressing City has taken a rare break from the busyness of the past few days.
For today, area 27 has officially come under their control, under the territory of their Primordial Witch.
It’s been four days since the last conquest of the Beast King, Bai Sheng has led the fleet to either convert or eliminate the strongest Beast King and several tier-4 Lords in the area.
Just one hour ago, before the night fell completely, the witches finished off the last hiding tier-4 Lord, declaring that area 27 was completely conquered.
And because the battle ended one day ahead of schedule, Bai Yi conveniently arranged a day of rest and also called back Bai Sheng, who had been out at war for a long time.
This was certainly not some melodramatic, historical romance plot about worrying over Bai Sheng’s growing military power.
Bai Yi is very confident in her control over her subordinates, a benefit of the Swarm Consciousness system, without the fear of any unit’s betrayal.
All of them are woven personally by her superpower, utterly loyal, taking her commands as the highest directive, and even if the connection is lost, they regard the last set goals as their lifelong objectives.
She summoned Bai Sheng back, one reason being the rest interval between each conquest.
The most important reason is for the territory’s biggest war commander to come back and test a few post-sale services that Bai Yi prepared for the Brain Clan Base Station.
Considering these were her own suggestions and that they relate to the forces she could utilize in the next battle, Bai Sheng is quite interested.
Descending from her ship, Bai Sheng skillfully organizes the distribution of the spoils, directing the newly converted witches to a specific area to report and start adapting to their new lives.
After putting everything in order, Bai Sheng then starts walking from the wooden pier towards the city.
The Portal Giant Tree is the core of Sea Suppressing City, but since it is situated on the ground, Bai Sheng doesn’t need to use the Sky Control Technique, mere walking will suffice to reach it.
Of course, the Giant Tree’s Teleportation Gate doesn’t necessarily need to be fixed on the ground, this is only a result of her deliberate arrangement.
As the city especially built for her expedition overseas, it is also a symbol of her honor, a city under her jurisdiction in name, where she can certainly decide on the style and details of the construction.
The master is quite free about this and doesn’t interfere too much; they even encourage them to express their unique preferences.
Designing the Space Gate close to the ground has many advantages, allowing large materials to be moved conveniently, without the need for a massive number of the Insect Swarm for transport.
It would also simplify communication through the Fungus Blanket, no longer needing to extend high into the sky to go through a Space Gate for cross-space connections...
And there’s one last, utterly trivial personal reason...
That is to cover up the fact that she doesn’t know the Sky Control Technique...
Well...
Thinking of this, Bai Sheng couldn’t help but feel her face heating up.
Fortunately, in the past two days, her master had made major changes to the permissions of the Swarm Network. Now, without intentional sharing, information would not be publicly available on the network, and only the master with the highest authority could view it.
And generally, the master wouldn’t bother to check the network for no reason...
[I’m watching you know]
"Eek! Master, you, why are you here!"
Bai Sheng suddenly felt as if she was caught by her parents after scoring zero on an exam, her facial temperature indisputable.
However, she controlled herself and kept the rest of her thoughts in her mind, otherwise, she would have had to perform a display of shouting and yelling as Witch General Bai Sheng in the middle of a public square.
And then she would be featured in the newly carved news section on the Witch Network by her master, publicly shamed in front of all the witches...
[Hmm, you actually have this interest? Not that it can’t be satisfied, it’s just posting the news!]
"No, don’t! Master, you can’t just let your loyal Bai Sheng be publicly shamed like this! I, Bai Sheng, have conscientiously helped you conquer lands, if not for merit then for hard work..."
[Alright, alright, stop it! Keep acting cute and I might really stick you on the news page and pin it!]
Just one sentence was enough to silence Bai Sheng, and she listened to what followed from her master.
[Ah, I’m not kidding, Bai Sheng, how can you not know the Sky Control Technique? Even I, your master, have learned it; you really should put some heart into it...]
"This, this isn’t...
For a [Eternal Life Knight] who comes from a melee background, not being able to fly is a perfectly normal thing!
And it’s also because I’ve been too busy and didn’t have time to practice the magic...
Ah, alright, alright, I’ll start practicing when I get back!
I will definitely learn it before the next regional Conquest!"
Bai Sheng had wanted to save some face, but quickly remembered she couldn’t hide anything from her master and promptly made a promise.
[That’s better, now get back here quickly, I have to continue adjusting the network, we’ll chat when you return]
Only after confirming that the master seemed to no longer be focusing on her did Bai Sheng breathe a sigh of relief.
But her sudden stillness on the ground had already caught the attention of a few witches. She immediately pretended as if nothing had happened and continued towards the Teleportation Gate.
After all, as the territory’s Hero and an upper-level unit among the witches, she would occasionally receive communication like Bai Yi did, and as long as she didn’t overreact, she wouldn’t attract attention.
It looks like going back to practice the Sky Control Technique is indeed essential, at least before Bai Fa and the others return; otherwise, I’m sure to be the butt of the joke...
Bai Sheng cared about the views of the few farm women, the original few Heroes following Bai Yi.
After noticeably quickening her pace, Bai Sheng entered the forest of giant trees on the island and watched the city’s construction, various pieces of information also began to appear before her eyes.
The forest here was of the same type as the Giant Tree City within Eternal Life City, except that Eternal Life City’s construction leaned more towards residential, or to be more precise, the residences of witches.
As for this place, serving as a frontline Base Station, it also accommodated the living environment for the Insect Swarm and the latest Cat Clan, with many currently empty floating foundations.
Those were reserved for the machines that Bai Fa and others would bring out from the instance, and most of Eternal Life City’s weapon industries would eventually relocate here.
Sea Suppressing City would also serve as a frontline supply zone in the future and undertake the role of the gateway city of the territory.
At the outermost layer of the forest were Portal Giant Trees prepared for future gates to other regions, and in between the Portal Giant Trees were the oversized cabbages she had seen before.
They were Base Stations set up to maintain the logistics system within Sea Suppressing City, and their cores were already within Bai Sheng’s sight.
That was the largest cabbage among the Portal Giant Trees leading to the territory, located at the very center of Sea Suppressing City, larger than other similar cabbages.
[Giant Space Storage Station: Fan Mao’s exclusive architecture, level 3 Space Logistics Node, can maintain shared space storage for specific units within a 20-kilometer range, with a maximum simultaneous storage capacity of 500,000 cubic meters...]
That was the latest research by her master during her days at sea; her master’s recent studies were also related to it...
Remembering the corresponding information in her mind, Bai Sheng stepped into the Teleportation Gate.
But in a moment, the scenery flickered, and the familiar giant trees of the territory were already before her eyes in the night.

Sea Suppressing City: Once an industrial metropolis, after the deindustrialization campaign, a large number of industrial facilities were moved to dedicated industrial Floating Islands, retaining only the role of a transportation hub, transforming into the current largest fortress repair center, specializing in the maintenance of Floating Islands, private armed airships, etc...
