Golden Experience

Episode 104: The Queen of Worms

There is, of course, a reason why we thought that Sugar needed to be reincarnated.

At the moment, among the family members of the executive class, Sugar was the only one who had yet to reincarnate, but there were more practical problems than that.

Sugar's maximum number of Queen Vespide family members has been reached.

I don't know exactly how many ants I have, but I didn't have a problem with the Reeve Great Forest, and then the minute I worked around the basement of the neighboring meadow, but when this comes to invading the outside world, the numbers make me uncomfortable at once.

Trent and others are as limited as the number of proliferation within a certain range, or survival density, and this seems similar.

Then it is the new Queen Ali that will be needed.

Generally, ant queens receive sperm from males for every egg they lay in their lifetime on the first mating and store it in their bodies. As a result, it is normal to assume that the failure to give birth has been exhausted.

But I asked Sugar somewhat, and thank God, in the first place, they didn't seem to have the very notion of a female male. This means that all eggs are inert eggs.

If it is a common ant, the queen can lay separated sperm eggs from sperm eggs, and all that comes from the sperm eggs are male ants.

But if there is no gender in the first place and only an inert egg can be laid, then the egg that can be laid will be asexual, not male, or female homologous.

If this is a normal ant, it will pervert from there to the next queen due to pheromones, differences in bait, etc., but the eggs produced by Sugar are determined where they grow at the time they lay.

If so, it is reasonable to assume that if the next queen were to be born, it would be so determined from the moment it was born as an egg.

I guess we need some kind of breakthrough than the current skill tree doesn't have the skills to lay eggs such as the next generation of queens.

It could be unlocked by acquiring certain skills, etc., but the 'stock-sharing' of the world tree could not mean more of the world tree itself. Similarly, it is well conceivable that there is a limitation that Sugar cannot give birth to a queen of the same quality beyond being a queen vespide.

Then it's because of it, and we're going to reincarnate it on the scale and aim for a breakthrough.

"Thanks to the increase in experience gained from the event, I think I can collect the amount I just spent from the residents of Wang Capital.

There's no loss due to death penalties right now, so yesterday's daytime fight with the players is only positive for what I killed. Lucky lucky for you. Ha ha. "

Rae is calm.

"This will be enough reincarnation for Sugar. As for saving for what if… let's start saving tomorrow"

But the more I use it this way, the more I have to leave behind.

"If I die, it'll ruin everything, but if I don't die, it's just no problem."

Even in the sense of reducing the risk of death, this place should be invested.

"So I'm going back to the woods. Can I take care of it later?"

Tell Sieg that I've been listening to Rae's soliloquy for a long time. I could have mixed it up with something else, but Zeke doesn't seem to be very self-assertive. This character often made me head of the Knights. I wonder how good he was.

"Yes, I did. I'll take care of Wang Du. But if you're going back, please take Lord Diaz with you. He is His Majesty's Kingsguard."

"It was. Let's say I call you when I fly over there. Otherwise, I'm going to be stubborn again."

It's not like Sieg thinks it's a pain in the ass to leave Diaz in the king's capital, etc. Should be.

'Summon' yourself with Sugar as your goal and return to the Queen.

Among the queens, the werewolves were twisted and playing.

Speaking of which, I would have left it to Diaz to babysit, but if he had come to King's Capital and wondered what happened to the little ones, he would have kept it with Sugar.

"Summoning" Diaz before forgetting, Diaz moved to a fixed position between the walls while the wolves took care of her.

"I'm sorry about yesterday, I suddenly died. And the restoration of the forest."

I don't think so. Lord Diaz is looking a lot tougher again.

"Ha ha. When I was younger..."

I still got a slightly annoying personality. By approaching humans from the undead, I guess he came back to humanizing himself personally. To this extent, it is acceptable.

"Soon Sugar will be cool too, I guess"

Rae just took the sage stone Great out of the inventory. All the stones of the wise have been left in the king's capital, but the Great manages them all himself.

"It's time to reincarnate. Come, Sugar."

Pass the sage stone Great to Sugar.

The vial disappears from Sugar's hand into light and dissolves into Sugar's body.

From Rare's eyes, the vial looked like a chunk of mana from the moment of use. Before use, it only seemed like an item that had no magic, so it would turn into a phenomenon that emits magic, inspired by something like a startup key, just like magic and so on.

Your family has fulfilled the reincarnation requirements.

Allow reincarnation into Queen Insect?

"Do you want to spend 3000 EXP and allow reincarnation into Queen Aslaparda?

When it comes to 3000, it's also a nostalgic number, although it's been around for a while.

The number required to be reincarnated into the Demon King or the Spirit King.

This means that from now on, Sugar will be reincarnated into being equal to Rare.

The demanding value of the King of the Immortal was as low as 1000, but given these things, even demons considered equally disastrous could have a difference in their potential.

"Pay 3000 and allow reincarnation into Queen Aslaparda.

But if you think about it, you asked for 5,000 world trees or something. If I think about it alone, the world tree is the most elegant in my camp... "

We're reincarnating.

It absorbs a large amount of mana and makes Sugar's body invisible. The colors are just different, and it would be the same even if I opened my eyes.

"Still, you must be Aslaparda. Asura, are we splitting up in Perda? Earthra or Asler? Pada...... perdaa? Arsula, papada...... Ah, arthropods?

When the light subsides, you can see Sugar, which has been smaller than before.

Open your eyes and take a good look at what it looks like.

"Oh? Cool. Wouldn't you!

The silhouette is pretty close to a human being. Rather in silhouette, Rare and others can only be seen by birds if they open their wings, so I can say that Rare is no longer farther than a human being.

"No, but you have a lot of arms and stuff, and just so you know, I'm still closer to humans... You can say it in a silhouette."

Sugar's face is like a mask, with hard looking skin. I don't think I can make facial expressions.

It is divided up and down around the mouth and also appears to be wearing a different mask on the maxillary and mandibular sides respectively.

It also looks like hair is growing but has a very fuzzy texture and resembles a head such as Yamama Yuga. I also have a tactile sensation.

The eyes are double-eyed and present rounded slightly deeper than the masked face. It's like the human eye.

The body is also covered with an exoskeleton that is divided by joints but seems stiff, and the closest image would be a spherical articulation doll.

But it wasn't until this point that it was a silhouette close to humans.

First, I have three pairs of arms. If you put your legs in, you have eight limbs. Far from human.

Then behind the base of the leg, in human terms, the abdomen stretches like ants and bees in the gluteal position.

Is it the belly pattern that is in the human belly position? So what does it mean to have legs growing from under it?

Since the three pairs of arms and the two pairs of wings on the back grow from the thorax called the pterygoid ganglia, the so-called insect, is it that insect from there, another arthropod from there down, or something like that?

Disaster creature, Queen of Worms, was born.

"The" Queen of Worms "is already under the control of existing forces, so the transmission of the prescribed message has been cancelled"

"It's like a greedy set...... Well, it's cool."

Thank you. I feel very... very powerful. Well, I know exactly why the boss went out this time.

"Huh? What do you mean?

If you have this power, you can't contain the temptation to try it.

"Uh..."

Rae didn't go out on his own for those reasons, but if you ask me now, I can't say that there wasn't one.

In the end, I haven't been able to try 'Wing Strike' or anything like that since then, so rather, that's not how I still feel.

Lord Diaz, you've become so powerful, you're calm.

"There are more priorities for Non."

I guess that means Rare's protection.

My ear hurts as I have a number of other things to prioritize.

"But the designation by the system wasn't a specific disaster organism, it was just a disaster organism, sugar.

Because unlike undead and demon kings, it's not particularly disastrous against certain forces... or anything? I wonder if it's because it's troublesome for all directions. A neutral disaster?

Either way, it looks like the message's been canceled, and you're not gonna find out. "

But if you were right in that view, if it had been announced, it could have been transmitted to characters with specific skills of all forces. That simply means there will be more enemies coming for you.

If Sugar had grown in the Reeve Great Forest in due course, this forest might have become quite a war zone.

"That's something I can't say right now. Let's take a look at some of the skills that have become obtainable."
