âYou are free now,â Aakesh told the spider as he floated in the sky after all the restrictions removed on him disappeared.
The spider, who had been tensed since the death of the ruler mosquito due to not knowing what Aakesh would do next, heaved a sigh of relief, hearing Aakeshâs words.
âThank you, senior,â The spider respectfully thanked Aakesh.
Aakesh ignored the spiderâs thanks and stared at the mosquitoes spread across the sky, looking at him with myriads of expressions in their eyes.
The expressions on all the mosquitoes changed at once, feeling the expressionless stare from the blue-skinned man.
All of them looked toward Aakesh with fear mixed with hatred, as everything for them was going well before his sudden entry into these territories.
Aakesh ignored their expressions and looked across the group of mosquitoes. Not all of them were present here since many newborns and pregnant mosquitoes stayed away from the battle and were hidden safely.
âYou come here,â Aakesh pointed toward one of the mosquitoes and expressionlessly called it.
The mosquito had no choice but to follow Aakeshâs order, so it approached him, but it was at a slow rate, unlike their usual speed.
Aakeshâs eyes turned chilly, and the mosquitoâs speed automatically increased and reached Aakesh in no time.
âYou would be the new ruler of this territory,â Aakesh slowly tapped on the mosquitoâs head and informed it. The next moment, the flying restriction on the mosquitoâs disappeared.
It could now fly as high as it wanted in the sky without any pressure, similar to the previous ruler mosquito.
Aakesh then ignored the mosquito and returned his focus to the spider. âYou would be the ruler of the spider den, and none of you or your family members are allowed to hunt the mosquitoes,â Aakesh told the spider.
Since all the Three-colored Crown Spiders had no restrictions on them because the previous ruler was too strong to be afraid of an overthrow from its descendants even without the privileges of the ruler, so Aakesh didnât have to remove any restrictions on them.
âThank you, senior,â The spider thanked Aakesh for selecting it as the new ruler, but when it looked in the sky, Aakesh was nowhere to be seen. He had left after giving his orders.
***
Aakesh descended on the edge of the Genus Land since he wasnât able to cross into the new territory by flying.
The information told by the mosquito and the spider then appeared in his mind.
Aakesh then took a step forward, left the Genus Land, and entered the Beetle Ground.
As the name suggested, this was the territory of a beast belonging to one of the beetle groups.
Unlike the territory of the spider and the mosquito, there was only a single creature in this territory that spanned several times the size of land controlled by the mosquito and the spider combined.
Aakesh had only taken a step inside this territory when the land started shaking. In no time, the slightly shaking land turned into an earthquake, but there were no ground cracks.
Not long after, a silhouette of a creature could be seen flying across.
The creature belonged to the race Golden Wings Beetle, one of the groups of the beetle race. Similar to the Three-colored Crown Spider and Genus Mosquito, Golden Wings Beetle was also an exclusive race to the Sacred dimension.
As their name suggested, they had a similar appearance to the majority of the beetles, but their wings were entirely golden, and their splendor could even put the sun feel shame.
There was only one Golden Wings Beetle in this territory and it had a larger area under its control.
The reason for it was that the Golden Wings Beetle was a race where there were only males, so they lived solitary in their own territories.
As for reproduction, it wasnât possible for the Golden Wings Beetle. They were kind of a mutation that happened randomly across male beetles belonging to the various beetle categories, making the Golden Wings one of the top groups not only in the beetle race but also in the Sacred dimension.
The Golden Wings Beetle also loved combat and were known for their cruel tendencies toward their opponents, so this battle was going to be the toughest for Aakesh out of the three.
âFinally, an opponent,â A voice rang in the area as the Golden Wings Beetle appeared a few steps away from Aakesh.
Aakesh didnât speak anything but only expressionlessly stared at the beetle.
Aakesh did not need to look up or down to come face-to-face with the beetle as it was around his size.
âAre you here mistakenly, or are you here for battle? If youâre here mistakenly, I will kill you for entering my territory, and if youâre here for battle, I will leave you alive if you impress me and survive for three seconds,â The beetle asked Aakesh and also told him the result for his answers.
âI am here to kill you and gain your territory,â Aakesh expressionlessly responded.
Since the territory here was more vast than the spider and the mosquitoâs territory combined, and it would take months for Aakesh to leave, Aakesh wanted to goad the beetle into a battle to the death.
In Beetle Ground, Aakesh could neither blackmail nor do anything if the beetle chose to escape midway and exceeded Aakeshâs range of attack and jump.
âHaha, youâre here to kill me, Hahaha,â The beetle started laughing out loud, hearing the blue-skinned manâs answer.
Aakesh didnât speak anything but only expressionlessly stared at the beetle.
âOh, youâre serious,â The beetleâs laugh came to a stop, seeing no change of expression on the blue-skinned manâs face.
Aakesh still didnât speak anything and gestured for the beetle to come to attack him.
This gesture was like pouring oil on a raging fire. The beetle flared up since it took Aakeshâs motion as mocking.
The beetles werenât honorable when it came to combat, but they expected the opposite from their opponents since they loved it more than anything.
âHow dare you mock me?â The beetle glared and angrily yelled.
âDo you think youâre superior to me?â It yelled again as if some switch for sanity had clicked after Aakeshâs gesture.
Aakesh didnât say anything but only stared at the beetle.
