BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
"GRUOOHHHH…!"
CLAAASH!
The enormous beast fell into the floor motionless, as a smile curled in my lips. Without wasting any time, I began doing the same over and over again with the eight other Goliaths there were, while the rest of my party were covering my back as much as they could, the near endless army of beetles was indeed never ending.
However, I also saw a path, the entrance to their colony was right in front of me, in the side of the mountain, several caves leading inside were shown.
If I go there, I'll surely find the hideout of their queen and slay her.
But let's do this more efficiently, shall we?

"Silva, bring the backup cavalry!" I said.
"Okay mama!" Silva quickly summoned three Hundred Blue Slimes and Skeleton Knights we had prepared beforehand, alongside Salamanders in the mix for firepower, and then I sent them straight inside of the caves of the beetles, burning and eating anything in their path. This was our last battalion if we add the ones fighting in the frontlines right now.
As I saw everything unfold while killing the eight Goliath, I sensed a powerful Miasmic presence awakening from within the depths of this side of the mountains, the powerful leader of this gang of bugs has awoken.
"Oh, what's this?"
Not only I sensed the powerful presence of this monster, but I saw multiple invisible threads reaching the skies above, as black clouds in the distance slowly emerged, reaching a faraway place.
Is this the Genie's hideout? I knew it, this bug was brainwashed by him to try to stop us from getting there!
But not only that, but I also felt… something stranger within there.
What is that bug queen even holding?
Whatever it had, it held a strange, near cosmic essence within…
Is this an Ego? Yes, but at the same time, something greater.
My senses can only go so far, I'll have to investigate this myself if I want answers.
But first, let's exterminate these bugs.
There was something weird about the bug nest though. As I slaughtered bugs everywhere, I was constantly wondering what was up with the nest. I felt some strange, near cosmic presence from within that nest. But that's weird, right?
Would there be something like that literally out of the blue in there? It is very weird indeed. I had already thought that these bugs were being controlled by the Genie, which seems very likely right now, but that queen in there seems to have something beyond just having the power to control her smaller kin. However, her ability to produce eggs with bugs is very powerful and useful.
Maybe if I could capture her and make her create more bugs to kill, that would be pretty sweet… But I guess I am not going to do something so pointless right now. I should probably just go kill her right away. The bugs were going down and their numbers were now reaching below three digits, so it was the perfect time for an infiltration!
"Luminous, Brunhild, Sol, stay here and protect my back! Fiere, Ariant, and Eriant, come with me!" I left the biggest hitters behind me as I brought the more agile and small sized of our party to follow me into the stretchy caves where those giants wouldn't fit (except Sol). I left Sol behind because his magic is too destructive and might end up burying us alive if he fights too much inside that stretchy cave.
"Alright, we'll hold up until you come back!" Luminous roared, opening his jaws and unleashing a beam of light, decimating many more bugs.
"Got it! Don't worry about it!" Said Brunhild.
"We are here to protect you all after all, don't worry about a thing! Overpowering Sun!" Sol roared, summoning his powerful Skill once more.
BOOOOMMMM!!!
Countless explosions from dragon breath beams, elemental magic, and giant overpowering suns echoed across the battlefield, the bugs were resilient and hardy, but they were being decimated by the team effort of these three heavy hitters.
"Why us in specific though?" Fiere wondered, as I grabbed her with Phantasmal Aura Tentacles alongside the twins, dragging them inside the caves. The Slimes, Salamanders, and Basilisks I sent inside had already cleaned a big opening for us to go through.
"Because you guys are small, do you think that giant girl and the dragon can fit in this?" I asked, quickly putting them down into the floor, the caves went as high as 7 meters tall, but not near as enough to fit the dragon and the giant Brunhild.
"Certainly not…" Ariant said.
"We'll do our best to help as much as we can, Kireina-sama!" Eriant said.
"Thank you guys, then let's go!" I said.
We rushed across the caves, finding the remains of many bugs the Slimes devoured with their acid, the salamanders burned with their fire breath, and the Basilisk poisoned or turned into stone. They had cleared everything quite nicely. We were getting closer to the one behind the beetles swarm.

Within the confines of the outer space surrounding the vast world of Grand Terra, space, and time shattered, as a small space-time portal opened. Emerging from within was a young human man with green eyes and short brown hair, seemingly looking rather normal in appearance, even average.
However, his eyes shone with cosmic light, as he looked down into the planet with intrigue, sensing the presence of someone he has been looking for, and aside from that person, there was also something he required, a lost fragment of himself.
"So she's here… And the fragment I've been looking as well…" His eyes suddenly shone bright red, as his aura exuded a powerful Cosmic Aura.
However, he also felt the restrains that were caused over his body by traversing the boundaries between dimensions, his strength was faltering…
"I don't have much time… I should hurry while the Overseers are not looking."
FLAAASH!
And he flew straight down into the new world in front of him.
