Even the blade had no reflection from any angle. Someone unaware might even mistake the blade for a part of its body.
But Jiang Wang knew that Heras's simple blade had become terrifying.
It wasn't just the strengthening of the blade by demonic energy that made it terrifying.
But the blade itself, now concealing its sharpness, was incredibly abnormal. The fact that Heras was able to suppress a heavily injured Grandmaster-level Demon Seed in an instant when he attacked it was proof enough.
Besides some changes in size, Heras's aura had also undergone a significant transformation.
Although Heras was relatively restrained in front of Jiang Wang, his overall demeanor was that of a staunch and resolute iron-blooded warrior, like a great general.
But now, Heras's overall aura had become very restrained, even calm and steady.
However, Jiang Wang knew that beneath Heras's restrained calmness, hidden by the demonic energy, was an extreme madness...
Looking at Heras's silent appearance, Jiang Wang smiled slightly, then turned and left.
Heras hesitated for a moment, looking at Jiang Wang's back, and followed.
The two, one human and one insect, advanced amidst the torrent of thousands of ships.
After a long time, Jiang Wang stood in a place with the best view.
Beneath his feet was a massive war fortress, surrounded by ocean-going warships ready to set sail at any moment.
And in front of Jiang Wang were countless insectoids preparing to enter the capital district.
"Remember when you first awakened your consciousness, it was on the novice trial battlefield."
"Back then, you were weak, old, and could be said to be one of the weakest insectoids."
Jiang Wang said softly.
Heras looked at the insectoid swarm beneath him, recalling the time when he first awakened.
At that time, relying on a great deal of luck and various reasons, he survived time and time again in the insectoid battles.
He remembered that time when the insectoids faced the threat of the Taotie and fell into crisis, all the insectoids resisted fearlessly.
And he was no exception.
The insectoids were truly in crisis at that time. Jiang Wang even used his own blood to create the Overlord's Blade.
Immediately, Heras's mind stirred.
He used the insectoid sequence to say a few words to Jiang Wang.
"Overlord's Blade, grant a name."
When Jiang Wang received Heras's message, the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile.
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence that you and the Overlord's Blade were born together."
"Perhaps that's why only you can lead the Overlord's Blade."
Jiang Wang said with his hands behind his back.
With the current size of the insectoid swarm, many elite insectoids had evolved into powerful individuals.
But without exception, those powerful individuals were unable to command the powerful Overlord's Blade.
So far, besides Jiang Wang and Anna, only Heras could command the Overlord's Blade...
Jiang Wang didn't understand this phenomenon.
After all, Heras could mobilize the Overlord's Blade in an emergency without Jiang Wang's orders, but other powerful individuals higher in the insectoid sequence than the Overlord's Blade could not.
Unless they had Jiang Wang's order...
Jiang Wang had never fixed this small bug in the insectoid swarm.
Even though fixing it only required Jiang Wang to issue an order to the Overlord's Blade.
But Jiang Wang had never issued such an order.
In a way, this was also Jiang Wang's trust in Heras.
But Heras had not disappointed Jiang Wang's trust.
Thinking of this, a trace of warmth flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes, but then his expression became firm again.
"The insectoid swarm has come this far, overcoming countless dangers and facing countless powerful enemies. We have overcome them all."
"But this time, I have no confidence."
Looking at the insectoid swarm beneath him, Jiang Wang suddenly turned around, his eyes very firm.
Following Jiang Wang's words.
Heras did not hesitate at all.
He immediately knelt on the ground, his head slightly lowered.
And a voice rang in Jiang Wang's mind.
"Heras, for the Overlord, die!"
Heras's voice was very low, but Jiang Wang could hear the fanaticism in his voice.
Seven words.
Expressing Heras's attitude.
Since being infected by the abyss, Heras had become increasingly taciturn, because the essence of insectoid combat was madness and fanaticism, coupled with the guidance of the abyss, one could imagine Heras's current situation.
It was like a calm sea.
Although it appeared calm and tranquil, the inside was already surging with turbulent waves.
After receiving Heras's loyalty, Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment. Heras's declaration of loyalty was very direct, and the reason Jiang Wang was stunned was that Heras was willing to die for him, not for the insectoid swarm...
There seemed to be no difference between the two, but there were many differences.
But Jiang Wang didn't say much. He took two steps forward.
And gently patted Heras on the shoulder.
"The mission objectives and the various usage methods of the equipment have already been sent to you in the insectoid sequence. If things are impossible, retreat. Just come back alive."
Chapter 437: Eyes Within the Capital District.
Looking at Heras's back, Jiang Wang felt somewhat emotional.
Actually, he was planning to reminisce about the past, and by the way, test Heras's loyalty to the insectoid nest after his evolution.
But the result, the effect was obvious. Did he reminisce about the past?
He did.
But was he moved?
Maybe...
Anyway, Jiang Wang only felt emotional...
As for what Heras was thinking, Jiang Wang didn't know.
But although reminiscing about the past was not significantly fruitful, the test was very successful.
With Heras's speech in the insectoid sequence and Jiang Wang's close feeling, Jiang Wang knew that although Heras's appearance had changed and his temperament had changed.
He was still that Heras.
That Heras who was loyal to the insectoid swarm and loyal to Jiang Wang.
As Heras's figure gradually disappeared from Jiang Wang's sight.
Jiang Wang turned back and flew towards the Leviathan behind him.
During the flight, Jiang Wang thought a lot.
He wondered what to do if Heras died?
He wondered what to do if there really was a Void Shattering expert in the capital district?
He thought about many, many things...
He even wondered if he was right to test Heras like this.
Regarding the test, from the perspective of the insectoid swarm, it was correct.
Because at the current location, those who had been infected by the abyss had more or less exhibited some destructive behaviors.
Even the abyss-transformed insectoids would still attack their companions after receiving too much demonic energy.
Not to mention Heras, who had the deepest level of abyss transformation...
Once Heras transmitted incorrect information to the insectoid swarm, or sided with the abyss, it would bring no small trouble to the insectoid swarm.
Therefore, from the perspective of the overall situation of the insectoid swarm, Jiang Wang's approach was justifiable.
But from Jiang Wang's personal point of view.
He didn't want to do this.
For no reason, he just didn't want to.
But unfortunately, he still did it.
He could only do it.
...
When Jiang Wang returned to the Leviathan, a virtual screen displayed the scene in front of Heras.
At this time, there were still a large number of insectoids in Heras's vision, but gradually, as the number of other insectoids decreased, Void Lords and Fish Sword-class ships began to occupy most of what Heras saw.
Jiang Wang knew that Heras was about to surpass those vanguard teams.
Before long.
When Heras was surrounded by darkness.
Heras's journey began.
