Chapter 476: Let’s See How Long It Takes to Reach the Conqueror??? (1)
“Please, stop! I am ready to do what you want,” The ruler cried out. It couldn’t take any more deaths.
Its tone contained a mixture of frustration and sadness.
It was sad that it was watching its children dying and frustrated that it had no choice but to go with the blue-skinned man’s threat since it wasn’t strong enough to harm him and watched its children die in front of its eyes.
Hearing the ruler mosquito’s ready to accept Aakesh’s terms, Aakesh ordered the spider to stop.
Aakesh then stared at the ruler mosquito, which still hadn’t descended to an appropriate height where he could reach.
“What if you still kill my children?” The ruler asked as it didn’t want to sacrifice itself while hoping for the blue-skinned man to keep his words.
“I won’t go back on my terms,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered. If the ruler mosquito agreed with his terms, he had plans to go with it.
It was also the reason behind Aakesh not promising the spider to spare it.
“I wouldn’t trust you on your words,” The ruler responded straight away. Her tone contained a mixture of anger and helplessness.
“You only have two terms: Either you get down and die, or I kill every one of your children and then wait for your lifespan to come to an end,” Aakesh expressionlessly stated, not budging on his terms and ignoring the ruler mosquito’s response.
The ruler was stumped for a moment, hearing the unreasonable tone of the blue-skinned man.
Suddenly an idea emerged in the ruler mosquito’s heart, allowing her to force a change to the blue-skinned man’s terms.
“You need to make a vow that you would go with your terms, and if you don’t, I will kill myself,” The ruler told Aakesh.
Aakesh had no idea what would happen if the ruler killed itself, so he only expressionlessly looked at the ruler mosquito.
The ruler mosquito couldn’t help but turn fearful as it thought that the man was willing to let it kill itself, seeing the expressionless stare from the man.
“You would never be able to gain control of my territory if I killed me,” The ruler mosquito responded while its voice trembled from time to time.
Aakesh had expected it to be the case, hearing the confidence in the ruler mosquito’s tone, so his expressionless stare toward it continued.
The ruler mosquito’s mind turned blank, seeing no reaction from the man once again.
It had decided to sacrifice itself after so much carnage and tragedy, but the creator of the disaster seemed to be unreasonable. It couldn’t help but flare up. But before it could show its expression in words: it fell silent.
“If I kill myself, someone from my race will become the new ruler of this territory. They would then gain my lifespan, so your wait here would become longer,” The ruler mosquito calmed itself down and gently explained things as if it considered the man not knowing about this.
It didn’t know that Aakesh really had no idea what would happen if it killed itself.
After hearing the ruler mosquito’s gentle response, Aakesh finally had a change in his expression.
After some other Genus Mosquito became the new ruler of the territory, they would have a lifespan of around thirty years.
He had decided to conquer the mosquito’s territory because it would take him around a week to cross to the next ruled area with restrictions, and without restrictions, it would only take him a few seconds. So to save that time, he had decided to kill the ruler mosquito, but now that he learned about this situation, how could he care for the mosquito’s words?
Aakesh was never the one to bend down on someone’s threats and blackmail unless that person was Lily, so he had no interest in accepting the ruler mosquito’s words.
“You can go ahead and do it. After that, I would kill every one of your children and then leave your only ruler alone in this territory,” Aakesh’s eyes and voice turned chilly as he responded.
The Genus Mosquitoes mated with their own male progenies if there wasn’t another mate available to create further descendants. So if Aakesh killed every mosquito, the next generation would die with the next ruler.
The threat was still the same, but still, the ruler mosquito felt shudders down its spine. The reason for it was that there were no terms this time. The man clearly stated his purpose of eliminating Genus Mosquitoes from this piece of territory.
“I can’t just trust you on your words,” The ruler spoke after staying silent for a few seconds.
“Senior, trust him. He wouldn’t go back on his words. We didn’t even know he had killed my queen. If not for him having a goal here, we would’ve never known about her death.”
This time Aakesh didn’t speak, but the spider carrying him. Even it couldn’t see any more mosquitoes dying.
When the hunt of mosquitoes began, it felt great as its queen hated these Genus Mosquitoes for not giving up their territory. When the number breached hundreds of millions, even it started feeling nauseated. If not for the man having absolute strength over it, it would’ve left the man and escaped back to the city.

“What do you know about the territories here?” Aakesh asked after the ruler mosquito had descended on the ground.
“The neighboring territory…,” The ruler began informing Aakesh with whatever she knew about the neighboring territories and their rulers.
Aakesh didn’t learn anything new from the mosquito. It didn’t even know the same level of knowledge as the spider.
***
“Please don’t go back on your words,” The ruler mosquito pleaded as the time for her death arrived.
Aakesh expressionlessly nodded and lightly tapped on the mosquito’s head, rendering it unconscious.
The next moment, his tapping strength increased, and the mosquito burst into a blood cloud. Since the mosquito was unconscious, it was a quick and painless death, unlike the spider, where Aakesh had given it unbearable pain.
With its death, all the restrictions on Aakesh disappeared, and now Aakesh could reach the edge of this territory in only a few seconds.
Even if he considered the time taken to subdue the mosquitoes and then kill the ruler mosquito, it still would be only around two hours. It was still nothing if compared to a week’s journey he would’ve had to take earlier.
