“You get down and die, or I kill all your children and then wait for you to die of old age,” Aakesh expressionlessly threatened the ruler.

Expressions of shock and horror appeared on the mosquitoes and the ruler listening to the blue-skinned man’s threat.

The mosquitoes could understand that even with the help of the spider, the blue-skinned man would never be able to reach their queen mosquito since it could fly as high as it wanted. While they couldn’t handle flying anything above a few hundred miles above the ground due to their weak physiques, which was like a child play to the blue-skinned man, seeing the size of the spider, he used as the vehicle.

“Are you threatening me?” The ruler’s voice turned cold as an even shriller female voice rang in the area.

It had no effects on Aakesh, but the same couldn’t be said for the spider.

The spider was not only half the size of its dead queen, but the strength difference was also at a similar rate. It was weaker than the ruler mosquito but stronger than everyone else in this territory, so when the mosquito’s voice turned shriller, the spider felt needles pricking its ears, resulting in it holding its ears using half of its legs.

(A/N: I’ve defined the spider to have 108 pairs of legs, but I mistakenly considered them only to have 108 legs. The spider should have had 648 blasts to create at once, but I’ve used 324. I’ve rectified my mistake by editing it to 648 explosions. Sorry for the trouble!)

Aakesh couldn’t let anything happen to the spider, so he tapped lightly on its head. The next moment, a transparent shield surrounded the entirety of it.

“Argh!” The sound waves released by the shrill voice when they clashed with the shield around the spider got reflected back and attacked the ruler mosquito, resulting in a scream.

“Yes, I am threatening you. I won’t give you much time. Accept it or die completely with your race,” Aakesh responded as his voice turned cold, sending shudders down the ruler mosquito’s spine.

The ruler mosquito fell silent hearing the clear-cut warning from Aakesh’s mouth. For a second, it didn’t even know what to say or think as its mind had turned blank.

Aakesh also didn’t say anything and waited for the ruler mosquito to make its decision. His next step would depend on its answer.

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed,…, fifteen seconds passed, and just like that, sixty seconds had passed.

“Hehe, you can go ahead and do it,” The ruler mosquito was the first to break the silence. It chuckled and told Aakesh to go ahead with his threat.

Its tone contained a hint of mocking as if Aakesh would never be able to accomplish it. But at the same time, it also had nervousness included in it, thinking about what if the blue-skinned man went ahead and did it as it was already afraid of him for killing the spider.

Hearing the ruler’s mosquito chuckle, Aakesh didn’t say anything in response.

“Move!” He ordered the spider.

The spider followed Aakesh’s order and rushed toward the nearest group of mosquitoes.

At the same time, Aakesh had several dark energy balls floating around his hands. These weren’t as powerful as the energy ball Aakesh had used the first time, and they also didn’t have that much range.

Each dark energy ball floating around Aakesh’s hands only had a range of a few meters, but since Aakesh wanted to go with quantity, he didn’t care for it. These were still more strong than enough to take down the mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes attempted flying randomly right after their queen chuckled, and they also escaped very quickly, but the spider spanned thousands of miles, so in the time it took for them to fly that distance, the spider had already reached them.

“BOOM!”

“BOOM!”

“BOOM!”

Aakesh started throwing those dark energy balls toward the mosquito groups he came across, resulting in complete extinction over the range of a few meters around every ball.

The moment Aakesh threw an energy ball, a new one would take its place. Aakesh, who had infinite endurance, didn’t seem to get tired, no matter how much energy he used, so Aakesh used it without concern.

(A/N: Aakesh doesn’t have unlimited energy, but since his energy capacity is very vast, it almost seems unlimited. Whether we’ll reach a situation about it getting too low stocks would be up to the future.)

Time flew by.

The countless mosquitoes ran from Aakesh while he chased them, with the spider helping him. Whenever he would come across a group, he would throw dark energy balls, depending on the number of the mosquitoes, and then an explosion would happen, which would result in death for every mosquito present in the room.

“Stop, I beg you to stop. Please, let’s talk,” The ruler mosquito pleaded for the umpteenth time. At first, it stayed silent as Aakesh chased its children, but it couldn’t keep its mouth shut when the number of deaths crossed a hundred million.

Aakesh ignored the ruler’s plea and continued chasing the group of mosquitoes.

During the past hour, the ruler mosquito had attempted to attack Aakesh once. The full-powered attack of the spider even failed to land a scratch on Aakesh. The spider also became the target of the mosquito for once. Which instead backfired on the mosquito. The strike reflected by the shield around the spider nearly killed the mosquito. It only survived due to its ability to fly without any pressure from the height.

Time flew by.

“Please stop! I’ll do as you say,” The ruler mosquito cried out as the death toll of its children had now crossed one-fourth of the lot.

Its attack wasn’t harming the blue-skinned man. If it tried to attack the spider, it was it who could die, and its children were dying every minute. So it couldn’t handle any more deaths. It decided to give in to the blue-skinned man’s threat and hope he would maintain his words.

It knew it was believing some stranger killer’s words, but it had no choice. If it didn’t do anything, its children would die, and then it would also perish after its lifespan came to an end, so no matter what choice it chose, it was the loser and the man the winner.
