Chapter 701 - 348 Firefly Jinmu? _2
"The Fireflies were once the sole rulers of the Hive Mind, but with the invasion of their civilization, the ’Desire Wet Nurse’ not only took over the land of the Divine Kingdom but also divided the Hive Mind.
"Today, the large white grids in the Hive Mind belong to the Wet Nurse and their Feathered creatures, leaving only a small black grid for the Fireflies.
"The first way to avoid the gaze of the Wet Nurse is to fully integrate into the black grid, under the ’protection’ of the Fireflies... But it’s more like being guided and controlled.
"Once you abandon your self-consciousness and become a ’bee’ under the ’Hive Mind’, the Wet Nurse cannot gaze or control a ’bee’ that does not belong to it.
"It knew you would never choose the first method, and this is why the Fireflies chose to grant you your unique abilities.
"And the second method is even less viable."
"The divine battle between the Wet Nurse and the Fireflies isn’t just a territorial dispute, but a battle for control of the Hive Mind.
"The intense war caused parts of the Hive Mind to break, tearing off the whole grid to exist independently.
"Those stripped off consciousnesses, no longer guided, return to the uncontrolled state of unconsciousness, turning into the mad bug-people you’ve seen..."
"As an individual with free will, you can keep acting according to your self-consciousness even after being detached from the grid and at the same time, the Wet Nurse and the Fireflies can neither observe you through the Hive Mind nor control you.
"But the fact that you are a ’Firefly Envoy’ means the Fireflies granting you the unique ability to drift along the edge of the Hive Mind is a kind of... compromise."
