What Is Propagation? When the Swarm Disaster Arrives!

It flew towards the sky.

At this moment, the insect felt a distinct loneliness and hatred.

It made a sound that was shrill and creepy, like crying.

From loneliness, and as the last member of the Coleoptera, it ascended to become an Aeon with a single purpose, motivated by nothing but the need to propagate and spread across the universe, that is,

The Aeon of Propagation: Tayzzyronth

------------------------

On the screen, all sound disappeared at this moment.

Only the buzzing sound of flapping wings remained.

The audience was stunned.

The Aeon of Propagation they had been thinking about finally appeared.

But they had never thought before that the powerful Aeon would have a connection with this weak coleoptera insect.

This… is the meaning of propagation?

Because you can't find your companions, you are promoted to a Aeon?

What is going on? What are the conditions for becoming a Aeon?

The audience can't stand it anymore.

The barrage of comments passed by.

On the screen, a terrifying scene appeared.

In the entire battlefield filled with smoke, except for Stelle, the rest of the humans also looked at the scene in shock.

In the sky, under the huge figure, countless insect swarms embraced each other and began to reproduce regardless of everything.

Whether it was insects of one species or another, reproductive isolation had no effect on them.

Even just the act of reproduction, new lives were born one after another. The overwhelming swarm of insects covered the entire sky like a black cloud.

It also blocked the figure of Tayzzyronth. All Stelle saw was a swarm of insects.

These insects ignored everything in front of them.

To continue to reproduce, they needed nutrition and food.

The corpses on the battlefield, whether human or insect, were washed away and covered.

When the swarm of insects left again, the land mixed with blood and limbs was clean as before the war.

With this as nutrition, more insects members were born.

When these insects began to run towards Stelle, Stelle nervously took out a baseball bat.

But everything was frozen here.

"Well done! Stelle, I have decided to give you an additional reward after the simulation is over." the voice of the Herta appeared.

"Conclusion: The emergence of Stelle has effectively catalyzed the progress of the simulated universe, allowing us to learn the truth about the birth of the Aeon of Propagation."

A mechanical voice sounded.

It was Screwllum

The appearance of a new character made the audience dazzled.

...

"Herta, can you speed up?"

"I'm just a little over a year old baby."

"Facing the Aeon and the Swarm Disaster is a bit too advanced for me."

Stelle complained.

After seeing the insects, she felt severe physical discomfort.

"No, you are in the simulated universe, playing as Akivili."

"But don't worry, there will be more fun things waiting for you later." Herta reminded.

As soon as she finished speaking, the simulated universe suddenly calculated again out of control.

"What's this? A type of credit?"

A strange-looking credit note appeared in Stelle's hand.

Instantly, the story of this antique credit was instilled into Stelle's mind.

It was after the Swarm Disaster ended.

The IPC broke down the economies of several major civilizations in the universe by introducing credits, thus establishing its currency dominance.

"Um, keep it, Stelle." Herta muttered, she was also a little confused.

"Analysis: The current node is a key node in the universe."

"Conclusion: The goal of the universe is to calculate the truth of the Swarm Disaster, and the antique credit note may be one of the important answers or clues given by the simulated universe." Screwllum said slowly.

"Makes sense."

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you later!" Herta said.

Her voice disappeared again.

Stelle put the gold coin away, but she didn't know what it was for.

...

Credit note appear at this node.

It's really eye-catching.

What is this hinting at?

The Swarm Disaster was caused by the IPC?

No, no, no, it was already explained at the beginning that the IPC was established after the Swarm Disaster ended.

Or, the IPC inherited some of the legacy of the Swarm Disaster, but that's not right, what legacy can a Swarm Disaster have?

Too confusing.

...

The rhythm of the simulated universe is just like a mystery film.

It makes everyone unable to stop thinking and imagining things.

In the picture, the planet of Lepismat has disappeared temporarily.

The Aeon of Propagation has gone somewhere with the overwhelming swarm of insects.

Stelle was in a trance for a while.

When she woke up again, she had appeared on a beautiful island.

This is the planet of Lapole Major.

On this planet, there is an isolated island called Mandalan Island.

It is where Stelle is currently. The scenery here is pleasant. The blue sky, the refreshing breeze, the palm trees everywhere, the golden beach and the blue waves. It is simply a paradise on earth.

"Come quickly~! It's about to start!"

A beautiful girl with cool clothes and healthy wheat-colored skin rushed over and grabbed Stelle's hand.

On her beautiful face, she had a beautiful smile free from all worries.

"This this... This is not good." Stelle blushed.

"Come on, come on, Akivili! Let's sing together, I will teach you." The girl ignored the shy Stelle, holding Stelle's hand tightly.

She took her to a beach.

A party was being held here.

Young handsome men and beautiful girls were dancing and singing around the bonfire. They gathered in pairs.

They were passionate and bold, kissing each other from time to time.

They were already wearing beach clothes, and now they gathered together and kissed each other.

The audience stood up directly on the spot.

...

: Oh my god! Here it comes! I declare that this is my favorite episode!

: Let me in! I want to play too!

: The bodies of beautiful girls and handsome boys, MiHoYo is too generous.

: More, I love to watch it!

: It was a horror movie in the last second, and it became 18+ in this second.

...

In the screening room.

Many girls also blushed watching the scene.

...

Stelle blushed.

Under the guidance of the girl, she began to dance.

While dancing, she learned something from the girl.

The people of Mandalan Island were on this isolated island and were dependent on love and reproduction to resist loneliness.

This was the most important thing in their lives.

After the dance, the girl shyly squatted in front of Stelle with her back to her and handed the paint in her hand to Stelle.

"Mark my back with any Sign"

"After that, we can have be together and have our own baby."

The beautiful girl's face was flushed.

Although her appearance was far inferior to Stelle, the pure shyness on her face, and the innocence and longing of a girl.

This taste of youth, on the contrary, made people salivate.

"This game is too real." Stelle held back her nosebleed, took the paint, and began to paint on the girl's back according to traditional customs.

Soon she had painted a colorful wing on her shoulder blade.

The girl became even more shy.

"I love you, Akivili."

She confessed bravely.

Perhaps it was this sincere and moving emotion that attracted the attention of the Aeons.

The colorful wings painted on her back suddenly seemed to come alive and began to flutter.

"Hmm?" Stelle was stunned for a moment.

Colorful lines fluttered behind the girl.

More lines emerged from the air and finally merged with the wings.

A stinging insect appeared out of thin air.

Half of its body was in the air, and the other half was still buried on the girl's back, buried in the pattern.

"What happened?" The girl felt an itch on her back and turned her head.

The next moment, her eyes, which were originally full of tenderness and love, suddenly widened and her face turned pale.

She saw a bug flapping its colorful wings vigorously, trying to break free from behind her.

"Ah!!!!" A shrill and terrified scream rang out.

Stelle's scalp went numb, and he picked up the bat and hit the stinging insect.

But this move helped the stinging insect break free from its restraints.

It flew into the sky without looking back.

Following the insect, Stelle discovered that insects were flying out from everywhere, gathering together, and forming a black cloud.

Screams came one after another, and they rang out in various places in the dense forest.

It was a terrifying scene. It scared the audience.

...

: Damn, MiHoYo, don't do this.

: I thought it was a slice of life part, and you show me this!?

: I was scared to death! It's outrageous.

: MiHoYo, how did you manage to turn a love action part into a horror movie again?

: MD, why can this insect emerge from the painting?

: This girl has started to walk on the path of propagation?

...

The shocked audience could no longer feel the charming atmosphere just now.

Especially the moment when the insect was born. It was a scene beyond common sense.

It made people feel deeply frightened.

The girl in the screening room were directly frightened.

...

On screen, the girl who confessed to Stelle had fainted on the ground.

Stelle held her and rushed to the hospital with gritted teeth. Along the way, there were insects flying everywhere.

For a moment, Stelle almost thought she was back to the Lepismat.

The hospital was busy.

After handing the girl to the doctor, she did not rest.

Instead, she immediately joined the hospital.

She originally thought that she was just helping the doctor take care of the patient.

However, what was revealed was a hell on earth that could not be described in words.

Countless pregnant women were sent to the ward.

But after the shrill and painful screams, the crying of babies sounded.

But what was delivered was not a baby, but an insect.

In such crying, one after another, insects flew out of the ward and poured into the sky.

One day.

Two days.

Until the 21st day.

The number of insects on the entire Mandalan Island reached its peak.

There was no sun in the sky anymore.

There were flapping wings and insects everywhere.

The first wave of swarm disaster in the universe has arrived.

No one knows why the swarm disaster appeared not on the planet of Lepismat , but on Mandalan Island.

In short, the Lapole Major planet fell.

A notice was issued to the entire universe, requesting interstellar support.

Stelle began to carry the supplies and the first batch of survivors to leave the planet.

But on the way, she stopped.

"Go!" The companion behind shouted, and when he saw that Stelle didn't move, he left without looking back.

Only Stelle.

Looking at the strange flames on the beach, she slowly walked over.

She put out the flames, revealing the photo frame and an origami knife inside.

The photo frame was a photo of the girl and her family.

The knife was stained with blood.

But the girl was nowhere to be found.

On Mandalan Island, where love and loneliness are everywhere, the girl finally chose to end her life in her hometown.

The comments can no longer be refreshed.

The emergence of swarm disaster.

The concept of propagation.

Everything is impacting their brains.

They can only passively follow Stelle.

Begin to experience the taste of Swarm Disaster.

...

Stelle, who gave up on escaping, returned to the island.

There was another person who was just as unwilling to escape as she was.

A woman. She closed the wooden door of her home tightly.

But the window next to it was rotten.

The last group of people persuaded at the door for a while, and left reluctantly.

Stelle walked over slowly.

An uncontrollable desire surged from Stelle's body. It was different from destruction.

This time, it was a desire to be have fun.

It was very strange. This place was experiencing an insect swarm, but she, Stelle, wanted to play a prank?

But anyway, Stelle jumped in through the window. She quietly came to the woman and made a face at her.

The woman was terrified.

The tables and chairs were knocked to the ground, and she was terrified, holding the money and staring at Stelle in front of her.

It was a weird scene.

It made the woman and the audience a little confused.

Who is crazier, the insect swarm or the current Stelle?

"Yes, in other words, when the first swarm disaster in the universe occurred on Mandalan Island"

"Aha already noticed it."

"But why..."

In the sky, the voices of the Herta and the others were heard discussing.

They didn't seem to care about the woman's actions, but only about the discovery of the Aeon.

Under the gaze of Stelle, the woman slowly moved her body and revealed the things she was protecting behind her.

They were insects.

She treated the insects as her own children.

There were more than one.

The woman taught these insects to eat and wear clothes, just like treating a real baby.

She also treated those that came in through the broken window holes.

However, when the woman was engaged in anything related to production, the originally predetermined results would always undergo strange changes.

She wanted to prepare food for the children, so she put soil in the box and planted seeds of vegetables and fruits.

But at the moment of the results, these fruits and vegetables turned into insects.

It seems that as long as there is a result pointing to the concept of reproduction, it will eventually be distorted by an irresistible force.

The woman can only live on the food stored in the cellar and raise her children.

Under the gaze of Stelle, all doubts were revealed.

The woman's first child unfortunately became a victim of the swarm disaster.

The child turned out to be an insect and flew into the sky, and along with it, her changed and distorted cognition was born.

After that, she regarded all the insects as her own children.

It was not until this time that the audience understood that this woman had gone completely crazy.

After the 21st day, there were more than 10 insects which had wandered into the house.

She gave each insect a name and prepared clothes for them.

However, no insect could complete the step of putting on clothes on their own, nor could they call the woman "mother."

The woman looked at the opened the window, which Stelle had come in through and left it open, and looked at her 'children' rushing into the black tide outside the window with a pale and crazy face.

At this moment, there was only one color left between the sky and earth.

That was the black of the insect swarm.

And she herself jumped and plunged into the black tide.

Just like a stone falling into the sea.

It didn't stir up a splash.

The woman was swallowed by the black tide and disappeared.

This was the first swarm disaster.

The story of the last person on Mandalan Island.

What is reproduction? Is it mating? No.

Those viewers who once called the Aeon of Propagation "the aeon of reproduction" on the Internet have been completely polluted by this little story.

...

: I was wrong…

: I finally know why the Swarm Disaster has become a cosmic disaster.

: This is not the propagation that normal humans can understand.

: This is a completely conceptualized existence, which distorts all reproductive behaviors into a propagation result.

: That is, Tayzzyronth's greatest desire before he ascended to become an aeon, to breed.

: I can't think of anything about reproduction now.

: It feels like as long as I think about it, bugs will appear.

: It's too scary. The babies born turned into bugs, and you have to raise these bugs. Can humans really resist such power?

: Breeding can even distort the cognition of the birthers, so that these people take care of the bugs.

...

The comments were overflowing.

There were fewer comments with memes.

Only the horror the audience felt was left.

In the screening room.

The people widened their eyes.

They were covered with goose bumps.

Those shrill cries, and the babies transformed into insect swarms.

It has caused serious psychological pollution to everyone.
