"Damn it, these ants can't be killed no matter how hard they are!"

The black-haired young man wiped off the sweat from his forehead, his expression was full of exhaustion and tension.He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, forced himself to be calm and said, "President, why is this happening? After the queen died, these division heads should disperse and leave... The information we got before is also like this, but what we are facing The resistance is much stronger than imagined."

"Well,"

While resisting the constant attacks, Nitro said with a calm expression, "It seems that we have underestimated the king before... Even if he is a freshman, it doesn't mean that the king is a young guy."

"what do you mean?"

"The only thing that can make ants suppress their instinct to reproduce is the power of the king. This guy should have thought of the current situation at that time."

"how come!"

The young man's eyes widened, and he denied with a hint of fear, "At that time, no matter how you say it, the king was just born... Could it be that he was ready to be an enemy of all mankind when he was born without any information? Are you ready? This is like a monster!"

As if feeling the youth's fear, Netero's expression softened slightly, and his eyes fell on him with a little pity. He looked at this disciple who had been growing up beside him since he was a child, and sighed softly, "Do you think , as the king of creatures like chimera ants, isn't he qualified to be called a monster?"

The ant group itself is a group of mutated and supernatural monsters.

The young man's face became even paler, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the giant cocoon that was almost endless in sight not far away.It won't be long before these cocoons will hatch and become an endless army of ants... At that time, it will be them, no, it will be the end of the entire human race.But can they really destroy them before they hatch?Although there was still more than half of the thoughts left, the man felt as if his whole body was soaked in cold water, and it was freezing to the bone in bursts.

He shook his head, forcing himself to wake up from the hopelessness that they were not hopeless.At least... He looked at the old man fighting ahead, "President Nitero, about that plan?"

The old man paused indistinctly, "Kill this group of ants, there should be a gap at that time, and that is the opportunity."

"is it?"

The young man lifted his spirits, and a smile appeared on his lips again, "That's really great, President, leave this place to us, and you won't be disappointed."

"kindness,"

The old man nodded slightly, and took a last look at his disciple. The panic and fear that could not be concealed in the urgency, and the killing intent mixed by cowardice and luck... Shaking his head lightly, Nitro silently concealed The disappointed look in the eyes, "Then, I'm leaving."

###################################### Pufu looked at the human in front of him displeasedly, He let out a cold snort imperceptibly.As if unaware of this, the black-haired man sat there peacefully, flipping the pages of the book in a leisurely manner.

As long as he thought that Wang was in a place they didn't know, and might even be in danger, Pufu felt his heart tighten.But they were ordered to stay and watch over this human being!The ant's eyes became even colder. He turned around and said in a cold voice, "Youpi, did the king tell you how to deal with this human being?"

"Well... let me think about it,"

Yupi withdrew his wandering thoughts, thought carefully and replied, "No."

"Really not? Think again."

Slightly provoking a smile, Pufu said intentionally, but his eyes stayed on the human.

"No."

Youpi said with certainty, "The king seemed very unhappy that day, but why did he keep him by his side, maybe he will eat it after a few days when it is useless."

The reason why he was able to talk about this indifferently was because he never thought that the human being in front of him would pose a threat to the king.Human beings are nothing more than food.He thought for a while, and then added, "But Pufu, you'd better not do anything to this human right now, the king will be angry."

"Of course I will not disobey the king's order. Really, I was reminded by you."

Pufu smiled helplessly, but the cruelty in his eyes did not weaken in the slightest, "I was just thinking, how could I not be able to accompany the king at such a critical time... How should I recover this debt in the future. "

"This kind of thing is up to you,"

Yupi replied indifferently, "As long as the king agrees, it is just a human being."

"Yeah, it's just a human being."

Smiling slightly, Pufu turned his head to look at the man whose expression remained unchanged, watching him gently close the book, and relax his body leaning on the armrest of the sofa.

As if what was being talked about was just an irrelevant stranger, the young man moved calmly and calmly, and even raised his head and smiled slightly at the two who were full of malice.

"...is there anything funny?"

Pufu narrowed his smile and asked coldly.

"No, nothing."

Kuroro looked at him, the corner of his mouth was still slightly curved upwards in a polite smile, "It's just a little curious. Ants are really interesting creatures."

"is it?"

Pufu laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Then, tell me."

Not minding his tone, Kuroro covered his mouth and looked straight at him with dark eyes, "Ants are really contradictory creatures."

His tone was full of interest, "The information I've read tells me that the so-called royal guard should be loyal to the queen at the beginning, and then after the king is born, you will become the king's subordinates." , is that right?"

"That's right,"

Even Yupi was a little intrigued, turning his head and answering him without hesitation.

"The king was born by killing the queen, so he should be the enemy who killed your former master, but you are very naturally loyal to him... Is this kind of feeling out of natural awe, or is it just An instinctive expression?"

"..."

"Next, a problem arose. The most contradictory aspect of chimera ants is the mixing with human genes. The division commander who wants to rebel reflects the selfishness and desire of human beings, but you who have also integrated human genes can have no reservations. Even if you attribute this to instinct, your usual behavior shows your deep affection for the king... The instinct of animals and the feelings of humans are intertwined, and it is so natural, isn't it interesting? ?”

Youpi turned around after hearing half of it. Such a complicated issue was never something he considered. Besides, he was the only ant among the three guards who did not have human genes mixed in. He didn't care about that human at all.Because of this, Pufu always said that he was simple-minded, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.He glanced at Puff's increasingly gloomy face and saw that he was almost glaring at the human.

"The king... the king and the queen are different."

He said this with firm inexplicable.

"Different? Are you referring to strength, or character, or appearance?"

Kuroro asked slowly, raising an eyebrow with interest.

"It's not those things, Wang is fundamentally different, and there is no need to compare it with anyone else!"

"However, even you yourself can't tell the difference, how much of this loyalty comes from instinct, and how much of it comes from your sincere awe of the king?"

Smiling slowly, Kuroro lost the coldness in his eyes, "If there is a second king, is it your instinct or your heart that makes the choice?"

He stood up with a gentle smile, but there was an inexplicable sense of contempt, "You can't tolerate any possibility of hurting the king, but you never thought that this vacillating mentality, its existence itself, is also a Is it a threat to the king? So - ants are really interesting creatures."

"you……"

Instinctively wanted to refute, but Pufu couldn't find anything to say for a while.It's just that no one knows better than him... the king is different. In front of the king, it is never the mood when he obeys the queen, the feeling of willingness to sacrifice his life and soul, the kind of bond and bond that is so deep. Nostalgia, how could this human being in front of me understand!He even compared the king with other creatures, is this guy insulting the king!It's just... just a lowly human being!The resentment in his heart was even worse, Pufu tried his best to suppress his murderous aura, but he heard the human being say, "Actually, if you want to stay by the king's side, it's not impossible."

"what?"

The man was silent, but Pufu suddenly remembered something, he turned his head suddenly, stared into his eyes and said, "From the beginning, this is your purpose?"

He stepped forward and lifted the man's collar, "Did you say those words on purpose to irritate me and make me eager to go to the king's side?"

"You bastard, what tricks are you playing!"

"Hey, Puff!"

Yupi was about to stop him when he heard a deep laugh from the human.

"……what's so funny?"

"Make no mistake,"

Suddenly, the fingers strangling his throat were slender and strong. Pufu was startled, but saw the man raised his head, his dark eyes looked at him without a trace of emotion, "I will stay here only because of your king." But because of this, isn’t it too early to think that you can do whatever you want? For you, I am not a weak person as a human being.”

The pinched wrist began to hurt violently, as if it would be crushed in the next second, but that was not what Pufu cared about. The human being in front of him...he...

"What's the matter? The expression is very surprised."

Kuroro let go of his hand, showing a gentle smile, his black eyes were clear and bright - but because they were too clear, it made people feel as if something was entwined bit by bit from below the throat. "That look is really nice,"

Taking a step back, the black-haired man said this, with a calm tone of appreciation, "Originally, it would be a very suitable collection, but unfortunately, I have seen the most perfect work before--comparison suddenly Not interested anymore."

"what a pity,"

The man turned around and said in a calm tone, "What I want to get, but I don't have enough strength... But, that's what makes it interesting, right? The easier it is to get something, the easier it is to get bored."

"Wait, where are you going!"

Yupi stood in front of him.

"Get out of the way,"

The man smiled slightly, and did not stop his steps, "Your king just ordered you to stay by my side, but he didn't restrict my actions. If I went to the king's side by myself, it has nothing to do with you two, right?" .”

"You bastard, why...help us?"

"Well, what you think is up to you, but my actions will not change—take everything I want, and only do things according to my own preferences. This is the Phantom Troupe."

The black-haired young man stood there, the bandage wrapped around his forehead was untied, and the soaring thought power blew his soft forehead hair, revealing the eye-catching cross tattoo.This sacred mark was engraved on the forehead of an extremely evil person, the mixture of purity and filth, light and darkness, revealing a depraved beauty.The danger and temptation spread little by little, and even the breath was filled with the breath of destruction.

"like……"

"What did you say, Puff?"

Looking at his companion who suddenly lowered his head, Yupi asked curiously.

Ignoring him, Pufu murmured, "It's very similar, it's too similar... This guy, unexpectedly... When he saw him, it was like seeing the king at that time! That, just born, not yet The one who can restrain his emotions—the king!"

################################### Still, a step late?A huge roar sounded, and Meruem stopped in her tracks.However, he frowned, and grabbed the fist that was still falling in the next second.

"That's it."

He spoke coldly, seeing a pair of empty eyes turning to him mechanically, and the strength in his hands remained undiminished.

"Stupid humans!"

Finally seeing the bloody and bloody subordinate lying on the ground, Meluem looked even colder. "Crack!"

There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, but the person being held seemed to be unconscious, and still wanted to punch down.

The whole arm was broken, the man finally turned around, his black pupils were still full of tears.Meruam frowned in disgust. How could such power actually hurt him?Do not make jokes!This kind of power gained in exchange for overdrafting vitality... The young man smiled coldly, and punched the man in the abdomen.

"You...cough cough cough cough,"

The man's eyes gradually became clear under such a blow. He clutched his aching belly, wanted to say something but couldn't stop coughing.

"Who are you?"

The adult version of Xiaojie raised his head and asked quite hard.But the boy ignored him, he was bending down, carefully lifted the girl's head, and then gently held it in his palm.

The girl's body showed a strange softness, which was because the bones of her whole body were smashed to pieces.Meluem's expression was cold, and there was still no trace of intense emotion in his black eyes.After straightening the girl's body, he calmly whispered in her ear, "Peter."

The girl's dying body suddenly trembled, and the muscles on her face twisted, but she couldn't even open her eyes.Her body began to tremble very weakly, as if she was extremely happy, she curled the corners of her mouth with great effort.Meruam hugged her tightly.

"Wang... so warm..."

No more struggling to open your eyes, because even if you do, you can't see anything.I am very unwilling, I don't want the king to see such an ugly self, but even so, I can't help but feel happy... At the last moment of my life, I can feel the breath of the king, and I can be so close to the king... …Unknown where the power came from, Peter raised his hand tremblingly, and grabbed Wang's arm.

"Wang... Wang..."

She did not shed tears in the extreme pain, nor did she shed tears when facing death, but those weak liquids gushed out of her eyes the moment she saw the king.Damn it, is such a ugliness actually shown in front of the king?But he couldn't control it, that kind of remorse and unwillingness, even joy and happiness, all melted into such tears. "I'm sorry... the king... didn't obey your order... that's why... this happened."

"kindness,"

Even if she succeeds in bringing back the intelligence, he will definitely punish her.This is Catwoman's self-indulgence and does not deserve sympathy.

Peter moved the corner of his mouth with difficulty, trying to show a small smile, "Wang...hasn't changed at all...it's great."

So, even if she died like this, she didn't feel any resentment, she just had endless regrets. "I'm sorry... there's no... way... to accompany you to... the end. I'm really... sorry."

"kindness,"

The boy said calmly, "I forgive you, Peter."

No one answered.The boy quietly put down the lifeless girl in his hands, then stood up.Ants are different from humans. Once they die, their bodies will cool down quickly, and even the last warmth cannot be retained.

Meruam calmly walked towards the human who was staring at them blankly, that was the protagonist of this world, a child named Xiaojie.Even though the overdraft potential has now turned into an adult man, the same look in his eyes has not changed at all.Like a mirror, it clearly and honestly reflects everything around it.

And at this moment, in those eyes, he saw his own appearance.Even though his whole body was stained with the girl's blood, even though the one who died just now was his important subordinate, the young man remained expressionless, there was no trace of fluctuation in his black eyes, and his handsome face was engraved with natural cruelty.Is this person, is he?

So he slightly bent the corners of his lips, and answered the man's previous question in a serious manner, "My name is Meluem. Are you the one who killed my subordinates?"
