After a while, the next day, in the Chimera Ant nest.
The Queen Ant with a huge bulge in her abdomen was lying on a couch made of earth that looked like a chair or a bed, stroking her round belly with one hand.
The words were transmitted through spiritual waves, "My child you are the king who will dominate the entire world in the future, the one who rules"
"Ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly let out a scream.
It was fetal movement that huge shadow in her belly, as if it couldn't wait to come out.
"Don't be anxious, wait a little longer, your current nutrition"
The Queen's voice sounded a little panicked.
Although she gave birth to ants with excellent genes such as the Division Commanders, her own genes cannot be reversed, and she cannot speak. She can only "speak" through a special way of transmitting signals between ant colonies.
Immediately, the Queen Ant became panic-stricken and the severe pain made her howl miserably.
Because a fist broke through the belly and came out from the abdominal cavity
As a figure gradually stood up from its hunched back, the Ant King with slime all over his body was born
The first people to arrive were naturally Shaiapouf, who had a pair of butterfly-like wings, and Youpi, who had red skin. The two of them turned into black streaks and approached, immediately kneeling on one knee in a gesture of submission.
Meruem turned around and gave the Queen Ant a cold look, swinging his tail with a stinger on it, and was indifferent to the Queen Ant's miserable condition.
Shaiapouf and Youpi introduced themselves one after another.
Then, the Division Commanders came after hearing the news
All the Division Commanders were trembling with fear and awe from the depths of their souls the moment they saw the King.
Then, the same scene as in the original story played out.
Among the Division Commanders, a guy with a turtle-like appearance stepped forward and wanted to flatter the Ant King Unexpectedly, his head was smashed by the tail in the blink of an eye, and he fell to the ground.
Also dead was another Division Commander.
Because these ants don't know Meruem's personality yet, there will inevitably be aspects of their behavior that will displease Meruem No matter how many times it happens, no matter what the circumstances, the death of one of the Division Commanders is inevitable.
"You mean there were three members of the King's Royal Guard The missing one, Neferpitou, has been killed by humans," Meruem said calmly, looking at Pouf who was kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, King."
Pouf responded.
Meruem didn't need to ask for some basic information about humans, as he already had this information in his genetic consciousness.
It's just that he didn't have a deep enough understanding of human beings.
"I did sense a presence when I was in the womb it should be her. However, since she is dead it is enough to prove that she is useless, just like these trash, and is not worthy of following me." The Ant King glanced at the trembling Division Commanders, and stepped out of the cave between Pouf and Youpi.
This is the nature of the ant colony After the new king is born, he will leave the original ant colony and create his own power and territory.
And he deep in his genes, has an additional mission to dominate the world.
He had been aware of this since he became conscious.
So Meruem left without hesitation.
Pouf and Youpi didn't even turn their heads to look at their fellows, and followed the King's footsteps and disappeared into the cave.
Meruem He doesn't know his own name yet.
After these three left, the Division Commanders recovered and checked the Queen Ant's injuries.
The injury is too serious
The situation is critical and they cannot save her with their abilities.
Immediately, Korudo thought of humans.
The only way to save the Queen Ant is to ask for help from humans
At this moment, he couldn't care about so many things.
At least, these Division Commanders serve the Queen.
Because of their different personalities, some characters among the Division Commanders do not feel any grief about the impending death of the Queen Ant. Instead, they think it is a good thing Now that the Queen is dying, they will be free and will not have to stay on this small piece of land They can completely enter the human world and fulfill their ambitions and dreams.
The lion Hagya, the scorpion Zazan, the leopard Kido and others have successively expressed their intention to leave the group and the captains of the soldiers under their command naturally followed them.
Korudo never expected that the seemingly united tribe would suddenly be "disintegrated" from within with the birth of the Ant King.
Even before leaving, Hagya mocked Korudo's blind loyalty.
They are superior creatures, and it is ridiculous that they would ask humans for help.
But Korudo didn't care about that. Without even thinking about it, he flew out of the ant nest, holding a white flag and began to look for humans with the ability to read minds He knew that humans had already launched an attack plan against them, and the number of ants hunting outside had been decreasing during this period.
On a tree not far from the ant nest, Oboro was standing upright on the tree trunk, waiting for Korudo to appear.
He just felt an extremely terrifying aura but the moment he was about to be touched by that aura, he dodged it.
Because as long as he comes into contact with that aura, the creature emitting it will sense his location and that would be dangerous.
Meruem, the Ant King.
Even so, while Oboro was retreating at a great distance, he still sensed that there seemed to be a gaze looking in his direction.
But because he had reached the pinnacle in concealing his aura, even if he attracted Meruem's attention, the King might not have taken him seriously, or in the latter's eyes, he was just an insignificant ant, or some weak creature that was not worthy of being on the stage.
He had some insight but Meruem didn't realize it was a human, not enough to arouse his interest.
That aura is different from Neferpitou's.
If Neferpitou's aura is a vast lake, then the Ant King Meruem is the ocean.
Judging from the magnitude alone, it has already exceeded human cognition.
If Neferpitou's power can be matched or even surpassed by Netero in his prime or Gon decades later then the Ant King is simply impossible to match.
As for the strength of the Nen, Oboro was not too sure Because they had not fought, he could only slightly infer the will contained in the aura emitted by the opponent. From what he knew, Meruem was unable to break through Netero's Hundred-Type Guanyin for a while. Even if the strength of the Ant King's Nen was slightly stronger than Neferpitou's, it was not by much.
What is truly terrifying is the physical body.
Things like the strength of Nen are related to the heart and will Compared to the Ant King who met Komugi, was baptized by the "Poor Man's Rose", and whose soul was sublimated after being surrounded by dangers, no matter how strong his current Nen is, it is definitely not stronger than Oboro's.
Of course, that's not saying much.
The Ant King's talent is terrifying enough
Devour and grow!
It's very similar to Hisoka's Nen ability, there's no ceiling!
Given enough time, he will indeed become a disaster for all of humanity.
Therefore, whether it is V5 or Netero, the decisions they made were very wise.
The Ant King must die!
No matter what the cost.
After making sure Meruem had left, Oboro approached the ant nest. He knew that Korudo would appear and the Queen Ant would not live long.
High in the sky, Korudo had mixed feelings. He didn't know how to negotiate with humans, and whether humans were willing to help him.
But just as he spread his wings and flew across the sky, his pupils suddenly shrank, and with his excellent eyesight, he clearly saw a familiar figure standing in a gap between the shade of trees, waving at him.
After confirming the other party's identity, Korudo's hands and feet turned cold.
It's him!
A strong human in a suit, the monster that the Chimera Ant Queen was terrified of.
Korudo was terrified. At this moment, when the Queen Ant's life was in danger, he came back again What did this man want to do? Massacre?
Korudo is very smart. The Ant King, Pouf and Youpi have already left, and the people in the ant nest are even more demoralized. They have no capital to stop this human!
The gap between the two sides is too big, even if the other side is only one person
He figured it out. Instead of being afraid now, the Queen Ant's life was the most important. As long as he could get help from humans, it didn't matter if he sacrificed his life.
As soon as he thought of this, he circled down from the sky and landed on a branch in front of Oboro, waving a simple white flag of surrender in his hand.
"We give up!"
As soon as he stood firm, Korudo knelt down in front of Oboro and said in a deep voice.
"We hope to get your help"
After Korudo finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Oboro with some nervousness and anticipation.
This man possesses such powerful strength, he must be a top figure among human Nen users and someone who can have a say.
In Korudo's opinion, the other human Nen users who have been active in the territory recently are more or less related to the person in front of him, and perhaps they are together.
Oboro calculated the time to come here just to avoid letting other people come into contact with Korudo.
He likes to sit back and wait for opportunities.
"The Queen Ant is going to die?"
Oboro didn't wait for him to finish and smiled slightly.
Korudo was a little surprised. He didn't expect Oboro to know that.
"That's right Our Queen is in critical condition and urgently needs"
"Shhhhhh."
He interrupted again.
"You just need to answer me one question and I will consider helping you?"
The corners of his mouth curled up.
"All of your Division Commanders are still in the nest haven't left yet?"
"Yes."
Korudo swallowed and had a bad feeling.
"Hmm"
"Have you ever counted how many humans you have killed?"
Oboro asked calmly.
""
"As outsiders, you broke into other people's homes without permission and made a mess Then, you yelled at the owner of the house to help you clean up the mess Do humans owe you anything?" Oboro put his hands in his pockets, slowly bent down, and stared at the kneeling ant. "Although some of you have awakened the memories of your human period and barely have a conscience, most of you cannot change the bad habits in your bones. This is brought by genes"
"If nothing had happened to the Queen would you seek peace with humans? According to your nature, humans are still food, right?"
Gulp.
Korudo's throat rolled and cold sweat broke out on his face.
"Look we are just participating in the game in the way and format you choose. Now, you want to change the rules This is not okay."
"So, my answer is, refuse to cooperate."
"But I still want to thank you for this message."
After saying that, Oboro took out a hand, stepped in the air, and slowly reached towards Korudo.
The latter looked at the fingers gradually approaching his cheek with despair in his eyes.
His whole body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
He knew it was over!
