"These bugs are not under my control. If they had my presence, Snake King would have found out. If the elder came after me, I would be held responsible," Spirit Twelve said coldly.
"Then how did you make the bugs attack them?" Spirit Thirteen asked with shock.
"That shouldn't be too difficult. I just had a color-changing bug carry some pollen and sprinkle it on the shelter's door. Then, I sprinkled it all the way there. The bugs love the pollen, and they'll follow it to the shelter," Spirit Twelve said.
"Lord Father is truly worthy of being the most intelligent dark spirit of our Dark Spirit Clan." Spirit Thirteen praised.
While the father and son were talking, the horde of bugs had almost reached Mask Shelter.
"There are too many of them, and there is a bug king. This shelter cannot be defended. Let's go!"
Ling Mei 'er shouted for Han Sen to run. She wasn't afraid of being killed, as Snake King wouldn't let her die.
Snake King would only save Ling Mei 'er, not Han Sen. That was why Ling Mei' er was in such a rush.
"You take them and go. I'll try again."
Han Sen pointed at the Scourge Bugs, and as they did, coins began to fall from the sky and land on their bodies. They slowed down a great deal, and as they did, they began to move more slowly.
But Han Sen's happiness did not last long. The ghost face on the back of the beetle shone with a strange light. The coin was shaken off, and it fell from its body. It was unable to suppress them.
"These guys are hard to deal with."
Han Sen summoned another coin, but this one was different from the others he had seen before.
This coin was bigger and thicker than the ones Han Sen had generated. It was the geno core of Super King Spirit. Han Sen wanted to see if it would work on the bugs.
Looking at the bug king, Han Sen flicked the coin at it.
The Scourge King was a berserk sacred-blood creature, and its shell was tougher than the average Scourge King's. The Coin geno core struck the Scourge King's shell, and it didn't even try to dodge.
The face on the bug king's back flashed, and its body shook. But this time, it couldn't shake off the coin. But then again, the coin didn't affect the bugs.
It looked like the coin's suppressive power wasn't as strong as Han Sen's ordinary coin.
The coin geno core's power wasn't as strong as Han Sen's ordinary coin. It didn't have any power, and the coin's power didn't come from its own.
The bug king did not think it was a big deal, so it continued to lead the rest of the bugs towards the shelter.
But as the fight went on, the Bug King and the Death Eating Bugs felt something was wrong. Their power seemed to be weakening. Although the rate of weakening was slow, it was definitely weakening.
The coin seemed to have gained weight, and it was getting heavier. The bug king's speed was slowing down.
"It really works?" Han Sen was happy to see this.
A bronze geno core was able to affect berserk sacred-blood creatures. Aside from his own geno core, not even the heirs of super creatures could do this.
The Coin geno core's power was what Han Sen called "Tax." When it appeared, it would absorb the power of any creature within a certain range. The more power it absorbed, the stronger its suppressive power would become.
Coin was only a bronze geno core, so it couldn't tax very much. It was only a few hundred meters wide, but it seemed to work well against the bugs.
A few dozen of the bugs were being taxed by the Coin geno core, and their power kept flowing into the coin. The coin was getting heavier, and the Bug King's body was starting to slow down.
But the rate at which the coin absorbed power was too slow, so it couldn't really suppress the bug king.
"If Dollar becomes super, I wonder how big of a tax I'll be able to collect. If I can collect taxes from the entire Fourth God's Sanctuary, that'd be awesome," Han Sen thought to himself.
But the coin wasn't that powerful yet. It slowed down the bugs, but it couldn't stop them from coming.
Han Sen didn't expect the Coin geno core to be able to suppress them right away. If it could slow them down, he'd be satisfied.
Han Sen summoned another geno core and threw it at the Scourge King. The bugs were about to enter the shelter, though, so Han Sen summoned a geno core and threw it at the Scourge King.
A golden light landed on the Scourge King's head. It was the Gold Mask that Han Sen had just claimed.
Golden Mask was one level lower than the bug king's geno core, but it boasted that it could even control a sacred-blood creature if it attached itself to its target's face.
But it was too slow, and if ordinary creatures tried to avoid it, it would be difficult for it to stick to them.
Han Sen used the coin to slow down the bug king, and he wanted to give Golden Mask a chance to see if it could control a sacred-blood creature.
The bug king didn't dodge, and so it allowed the Golden Mask to stick to its face. The Golden Mask changed to cover its entire face.
The bug king screamed and shook its head, as if it was trying to fight the Golden Mask.
When the bug king stopped, the other bugs stopped as well. They wanted to help, but the closer they got to the bug king, the more their powers were absorbed by the coin geno core. They couldn't really help the bug king, though, as they couldn't use their claws to stab its face.
The Bug King used its claws to scratch at the golden mask on its face, but its mind was very unstable. It raised its claws up and down, then raised them up again. Clearly, it was having an intense mental battle, and it couldn't control its body to tear the golden mask off.
After a while, the Coin geno core absorbed more and more power. The suppression of the bug king's body was getting stronger, and it was helping the Golden Mask. The bug king's resistance was getting weaker and weaker.
After a while, the Bug King stopped resisting. It got up and screamed. Spirit Thirteen and Spirit Twelve could not believe what they were seeing. They were led by the Bug King and crawled in front of Han Sen. They lowered their heads, as if they were waiting for Han Sen's inspection of the tanks.
