Warrior X Queen

Nobu had lost the strength to speak.

But his message had already been delivered.

Netero then crouched down and gently patted Nobu's back.

"You're no coward. I saw you on my way to the lair," Netero said.

Clearly, even under these circumstances, Nobu, who was the team's escape route, was still forcing his way forward based on his physical instincts.

The opened door is practically infinitely close to the lair.

The fact that they were able to find Nobu outside the lair clearly means that he eventually returned here using his Four-Dimensional Ability, and hopefully he can deliver the information as soon as possible.

Therefore, no one present would underestimate Nobu because of this, nor would they think the other party was cowardly because of his fear.

"Which direction? Where is the Queen? She's not dead yet, maybe we can still save her!" Rukira was about to pounce when Melusina kicked him away.

Even so, Rukira remained kneeling on the spot, shouting loudly, his plea clearly evident in his voice.

Clearly, according to his Nen ability, the Queen had not completely lost her life, but she had obviously reached the boundary between life and death.

The Chimeric Ant present, all Loyalist Faction, began to riot.

They now need the help of an enemy, and an enemy they can't defeat at all.

The Penguin, clearly fully aware of the situation, spoke up, "This is good for both you and us. As you can see, those who have returned are the Loyalist Faction, and their numbers are less than a third of the Chimera Ant'."

"Neither the Division Leader nor the corps commander is an idiot; they definitely know we've been tricked. But the reason they haven't returned is that their orders were to break out, find food, and then come back."

After all, due to the pressure brought by Kevin and his group, they might very well become cannon fodder and die after returning.

Even Chimera Ant have their own survival instincts.

Moreover, they had a legitimate reason this time—they had received orders to break through and find food, not because they didn't want to go back to rescue others.

"The Loyalist Faction are not ambitious people—it sounds strange, but I have also awakened memories from the human era, memories that have greatly influenced me."

"Moreover, from my observation, Loyalist Faction Chimera Ant are all the kind of people with a conscience. We were indeed in a period of ignorance, and as Chimera Ant, we committed a grave crime that humans should not have committed."

"But when our memories awaken, we are already doing everything we can to avoid even more cruel methods."

Clearly, the Penguin Chimera Ant in front of it has started to play the emotional card.

Because that is indeed the case.

Loyalist Faction Chimera Ant tend to view humans as enemies of a different species, and influenced by memories of their human past, they begin to exploit loopholes to make themselves feel better.

I will not do anything insulting or manipulative.

This was simply receiving orders to kill.

"But those unruly division Division Leader are different. Many of them have also awakened memories from their human past, but they have completely abandoned the conscience within those memories, sinking into darkness—"

"So once the Queen dies, the genetic constraints will disappear. Although they won't immediately feel the Queen's passing, the connection etched deep within their instincts will break, and their free will will become completely unleashed."

"That way, they won't come back; instead, they'll take this opportunity to escape. So many Chimera Ant running amok and escaping will cause a lot of trouble. Although you might be able to catch and eliminate these escaping Chimera Ant, it's always better to take it easy, isn't it?"

Saying such things is a complete betrayal of the entire Chimeric Ant colony.

But not only him, but even the other Loyalist Faction Chimera Ant behind him remained silent; not a single Chimera Ant voiced its opposition.

Perhaps, in the past, the Chimeric Ant Chimera Ant under the Queen's command should have been united.

Unfortunately, they possess human souls and memories.

Those who benefit from humanity must also bear its drawbacks.

Free will completely destroyed the Chimera Ant's social structure.

Each Chimera Ant's individuality, various factions, and numerous small groups followed one after another.

The conflicts between them spread rapidly within this nascent group in just a few months, directly undermining the basic social structure of the Chimera Ant.

In a simple classification, Loyalist Faction Chimera Ant, during human times, also tended to be the type whose minds leaned towards order.

And this was to save the Queen.

It's no big deal to Sacrifice those who were already rebellious and Loyalty.

The Penguin Chimera Ant's words have been made very clear.

Saving the Queen, even just her life, would allow them to use their deepest genetic ties to firmly restrain the Chimera Ant that were wreaking havoc outside. They would have to return.

Returning would allow Kevin and his men to be captured in one fell swoop, saving the trouble of chasing them around.

Whether it's the Hunter Association or other national powers, they can deal with these rampant Chimera Ant more efficiently.

This is undoubtedly a more convenient solution.

But if the Queen were allowed to die, these troubles would follow.

This is a very clear choice.

Moreover, Kevin and his group now hold an absolute advantage in strength. If they can save the Queen, they will be able to control Queen life, and thus indirectly control the lives of these Loyalist Faction Chimera Ant in front of them.

At this moment, Nobu, who had calmed down considerably, suddenly spoke.

"I—I brought the Queen back."

As he spoke, he drew a line in front of him, and the door to the Hide and Seek opened silently.

["

The entire atmosphere became extremely quiet.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Nobu, never expecting him to do something like this.

"Hahahaha! Well done, Nobu! You are a warrior!"

Standing next to Nobu, Netero laughed heartily, lifted him up, and patted him hard on the shoulder.

To be honest, this was something even Netero hadn't anticipated.

Clearly, despite his fear, Nobu retained a hidden calmness, having considered this possibility at that moment and taken action.

However, the fear that followed lingered over him, ravaging his body and mind.

He's the type who keeps reminiscing and dwelling on things afterward, torturing himself with the experience.

"Well done!" Morel ran over and shouted.

Kevin and the others were also full of admiration.

He has already pushed the limits of fear.

This is undoubtedly a warrior.

Without joking, in this respect alone, Nobu's contribution to this incident is completely equal to, or even Melusina, that of Kevin and the other two.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say. Let's go and check on the Queen's injuries."

Kevin picked up Rukira with one hand, waved at the Penguin, and jumped down with Netero.

The rest of the group continued their brief standoff outside, waiting in a somewhat delicate atmosphere.

Jump into the basics.

I entered a pure white space with a clear view, where I could see the surrounding floor, ceiling, and walls.

It's like a dilapidated room with walls and floors completely painted white and no room partitions.

There was also no furniture.

In the center of this pure white room, lay an upright Chimera Ant body, about the height of a person.

They appear to be still alive, but they are practically dead.

The area below the chest and abdomen was completely eroded, exposing all the internal organs.

It seems almost impossible for them to survive.

This is the Chimeric Ant Queen.

"Your Her Majesty the Queen!"

With tears streaming down his face, Rukira cried out and rushed over, kneeling down beside the Queen.

The Penguin quickly ran over and watched from the side, its expression turning very unpleasant.

Neither of them were fools; they knew the injuries were far too severe to be saved, especially considering how much time had passed.

"Please save Her Majesty the Queen, I beg you!"

At this moment, Rukira immediately knelt down and turned to Kevin and the other man, kowtowing repeatedly and begging them to rescue the Queen.

Are you confident?

Netero looked at Kevin beside him and asked.

This situation depends on Kevin's abilities now; otherwise, if they call for a medical team now, all they'll find when they arrive is a corpse.

"If he's not dead, then there's no problem."

Kevin said casually.

The injuries look serious, but as long as he's not dead, it's tolerable.

The problem now is that Kevin is wondering whether or not to save the Queen in front of him.

He is very capable.

If the Queen is restored with medicine, then Queen will absolutely have the possibility of continuing to conceive.

As long as the Queen continues to have the ability to reproduce, the Chimeric Ant species will inevitably continue to exist.

To be honest, Chimeric Ant pose a significant threat.

Compared to other Demonic Beast, Chimeric Ant possess potential far exceeding that of humans, and are naturally far stronger than those Demonic Beast races.

This is undoubtedly a threat to humanity.

Moreover, it's hard to say exactly how the Queen in front of us came to be.

From the Dark Continent?

It is possible that they were a race smuggled back by a stowaway or someone who had previously returned.

It could also be some kind of research on human society; that's also possible.

But no matter what, as long as the Chimeric Ant exist, there will definitely be ruthless and ambitious individuals eyeing them.

Penguin was well aware of Kevin's concerns and spoke up directly.

"Those Chimera Ant that escaped also harbored ambitions to become queens. Once the Queen dies, these Chimera Ant will also be freed from their constraints, and they will also have the possibility of reproducing the next generation."

"And I know of at least five or six Division Leader with such ambitions, and they're all currently out in the country."

Kevin was unaware of this and turned to look at Netero beside him.

Netero seemed to understand better, and nodded slightly.

So that's how complicated the mechanism is?

In that case, whether the Queen lives or dies, the hidden danger will be difficult to eradicate; in fact, she is more useful for the time being.

If someone dies, more Queen will appear; if they don't die, there will only be one Queen.

"What a hassle."

Kevin said in a low voice.

Kevin approached the Queen and knelt down.

Is anyone home?

A strange fluctuation came from nearby, and Rukira and the Penguin quickly came over.

"Yes! I'm here! What are your orders?" Rukira asked quickly.

The communication between certain Chimera Ant is usually inaudible to humans.

"My son, is he healthy?"

The Queen's voice resonated in the other person's mind.

This left Rukira momentarily speechless, because he hadn't seen it at all.

He was trying to say something.

The Queen's voice came again. "I know, he should have left with his guards by now, ah—that's good. Whether he's returned, captured, or not, I'm still alive—"

"It seems he'll survive. I was worried; he was born too early. But that's good. My mission is complete. My mission—"

Upon hearing this, Rukira immediately reacted, hurriedly saying, "No, Your Her Majesty the Queen, there is still hope for you, you still—"

The Queen interrupted him, raising her only remaining arm slightly.

"There's one more thing I need to ask of you, my child. I've named him Meruem, meaning 'to illuminate everything.' He is destined to become the king of this world. When the time comes, please tell him—"

Message delivery.

The Queen seems to be preparing to do something.

"Are you done talking?"

"Wanting to die isn't that simple. This is such a hassle, and I'm destined to be the king of the world. Enough is enough."

Kevin rolled his eyes.

His voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

This startled the three Chimera Ant present.

"What are you looking at? It's not that difficult."

This communication technique is somewhat similar to the way Resentful Snake communicate, only it's more crude, relying more on Pheromone and fluctuations of will.

You can learn it by imitating it.

The essence remains the same despite all the changes.

Without waiting for the three people's reactions, he reached in and precisely pulled an organ from the Queen's internal organs.

The Queen trembled silently and violently in an instant, emitting a sharp cry.

"Don't panic, she's not dead yet."

Kevin's words silenced the two Chimeric Ant that were about to take action.

The medicine was then opened and poured onto the large wound.

He then took out another vial of medicine and injected it into the other person's body.

"Is he trying to commit suicide to pave the way for his son?"

It's clear that the Queen also knew about the structure of the Chimeric Ant, and just now, seemingly sensing a possibility of being rescued, she simply committed suicide.

Otherwise, if she were to become some kind of constraint, some kind of shackle on the king, then it would be a grave sin.

Her death would also cause her legions to lose control, creating more trouble and allowing her son to better fulfill his mission.

In such a short period of time, she made this choice.

It was precisely because Kevin realized this that he immediately stepped in to help.

Incidentally, he also removed the other party's most advanced material organ.

Whether it will grow back or not is none of his business.

Based on its structure, it should be some kind of core organ related to reproduction.

It barely reaches grade A-rank, a very low-grade A-rank material, but it's still A-rank material.

This shows that the Queen is indeed a problem.

Once his injuries stabilized, Kevin sealed the organ in his hands, clapped his hands, and stood up.

Looking at the Queen.

At this time, the Queen did not have any vocal organs and was still communicating through the means of Chimera Ant.

"Stop talking nonsense. Your son's name is Meruem, right?"

"Before he dies, I will tell him, and then I will take his life with my own hands. Here, humans come first, Chimera Ant."
