Cute Bug Overlord, Join the Chat Group!

After mutating in the hatchery, the tiny Swarm Overlord could only absorb a little of the nutrients and energy supplied by the creep.

But that wasn't enough to completely ease his hunger.

And Skadi had run out of food as well.

So after the newcomer joined the group, Zerg immediately asked for food.

"Zerg, come eat."

She took out some jerky from her pocket, which she used to replenish her strength during breaks.

It was considered a rare delicacy in the village.

This was merely a remote village in Ursus.

It barely survived under the exploitation of the Infected Patrol and Ursus tax collectors.

Talulah had obtained this jerky herself through hunting.

"Rawr!"

A licking sensation came from her fingertips, and the girl froze slightly.

Looking down, she met those pure, flawless eyes.

"..."

Talulah fell silent.

Only a faint blush colored the tips of her ears.

As a young lady... she had never been treated like this before.

"Zerg wants more!"

The tiny child swallowed the food in his mouth, then licked away the lingering flavor of food from her fingertips.

Then he said so.

"...I still have some food here."

Logically speaking, this piece of high-salt jerky should have been enough to keep this child occupied for several minutes.

After all, the meat was rather tough, enough to make an underage child struggle a little while chewing it.

Yet he swallowed it in one bite—along with her finger.

"Food!"

Zerg's eyes immediately lit up.

She took the last few pieces of jerky from her pocket.

Then, before Talulah could react, her finger once again entered a warm environment.

He ate so fast!

The girl was somewhat stunned.

She was fairly capable herself, yet even so, she hadn't managed to react.

[Greenhorn Fighter Ta Rua: ...Zerg came to my place. He's licking my fingers now, what do I do?]

[The Ultimate Invincible Super-Fucking Cute Grasshopper!: ???]

At that moment, Kiana Kaslana, who was in class, jolted awake from her drowsy state.

[The Ultimate Invincible Super-Fucking Cute Grasshopper!:@Super Happy Zerg, spit her finger out! Fingers aren't edible!]

Zerg could bite straight through a streetlamp!

She was terrified that the group member who had just joined... would get her finger bitten off.

[Super Happy Zerg: Zerg didn't eat her hand!]

[Super Happy Zerg: Talulah's fingers taste like food. Can't waste it!]

[Happy Little Orca: I just found the communication device I was repairing. What happened?]

[Happy Little Orca: Oh, he just put her finger in his mouth. It's not a big deal.]

Putting down the tools she had found for repairs, Skadi wiped her forehead.

Although Zerg's true identity was probably not a biological weapon created by Ægir, it didn't really matter.

She still regarded him as one of her own.

After all—

Zerg was far too young.

His values had yet to take shape, and he needed careful guidance.

[Happy Little Orca: Just make sure Zerg doesn't bite your finger off.]

[Greenhorn Fighter Ta Rua: ?]

Talulah was a little dumbfounded.

What kind of reaction was that?

Why weren't they focused on the fact that her fingers were being licked, but instead worried about her fingers being bitten off?

Could such a small child bite off her finger?

Looking at the tiny figure who had contentedly narrowed his eyes after getting food, the girl was doubtful.

"Heh, it seems you've drawn the attention of some unknown existence, Talulah."

A cold voice rang out at an inappropriate moment.

"If I didn't, how could I kill you, Koschei?"

Talulah's attention immediately shifted.

Her tone turned cold.

Sure enough, the [Dimensional Chat Group] was something even the [Immortal Black Snake] knew nothing about.

Then perhaps the opportunity to kill the evil god lay within it.

"..."

At that moment, Zerg blinked.

In his field of vision, a black snake was tightly coiled around the girl in front of him.

Only, the flames around the girl prevented the snake from fully seizing its prey.

But that wasn't the important part—

The black snake was food rich in energy.

That was the tiny Swarm Overlord's assessment.

However, as if it had noticed something, the black snake arguing with the girl flicked its tongue and looked toward the tiny child.

"Talulah, let me see whether such a small child can endure Snake's Gift."

The cold voice said so.

"You! Koschei, do you have even a shred of honor or morality left!"

Talulah's eyes widened.

Flames of rage wrapped around her at that moment.

He wanted to attack such a small child?

"Honor and morality are useless things to me, Talulah."

"The only thing I care about is Ursus."

The immortal evil god was unconcerned.

"And you, Talulah, cannot interfere with me before you become the new snake."

The black snake fixed its gaze on the person who had suddenly appeared.

Over its long existence, it had never seen a being like this.

Neither among the giant beasts nor the Beast Lords was there anything with such an appearance.

Then there was no need to care.

Only those giant beasts and Beast Lords could stand against the Immortal Black Snake.

"Koschei!"

Talulah's eyes widened.

Anger built in her heart.

"If you attack him, then I'll immediately take my own life!"

The fighter girl said without hesitation.

This was Talulah's sorrow, but it was also the only means she had to restrain the evil god.

The Immortal Black Snake wanted to make use of her bloodline, but a dead red dragon was worthless.

"...Talulah, you've truly surprised me." The cold voice paused. "You're creating a weakness for yourself, and that will undoubtedly put you at a disadvantage. Have you forgotten my teachings?"

"Koschei, you..."

Before Talulah could finish, the tiny Swarm Overlord spoke—

"Can Zerg eat the black snake?"

Volume One: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Exploding Black Snake

The black snake coiled around the girl.

And it gave off the scent of food—

The kind of food rich in energy.

Zerg's eyes widened slightly.

It was as though he had entered a hunting state.

"?"

Talulah was stunned.

The black snake?

Was he referring to Koschei?

But the Duke of the Black Snake of Ursus was currently attached to her in the form of a spiritual body. Ordinary people shouldn't have been able to see him.

"Zerg is hungry. Zerg wants to eat the black snake!"

The tiny Swarm Overlord stared fixedly at the black snake.

This was even more delicious food than the energy radiating from Kiana and Raiden Mei.

Already hungry, Zerg was nearly unable to restrain his appetite.

"..."

The Immortal Black Snake looked at the tiny figure through Talulah's eyes.

For the first time in a long while—

It sensed danger.

And that feeling of danger kept rising.

"Zerg, the black snake you mentioned... are you referring to?"

The red dragon girl asked hesitantly.

"The black snake wrapped around Talulah!"

"Zerg wants to eat it!"
