Volume 1: Chapter 54: New Visitors to the Hive

　　Undersea city.

　　The once dark city ruins have been replaced by bright lights.

　　“…”

　　Talulahh walked into the portal that appeared, and when she reappeared, she was in a place she had never imagined before.

　　"Is this... the bottom of the sea?"

　　The dragon girl looked into the distance with shock in her eyes.

　　In Zerg's world, it is possible to build cities under the sea?

　　"Yes, it's the bottom of the sea."

　　Kiana Kaslana put her hands on her hips.

　　Although when I first saw her, she looked like a bumpkin.

　　After all, in her own world, she had never heard of any country successfully building a city under the sea.

　　"Skadi called this place Agor, it seems to be her hometown?"

　　The white-haired ball scratched his cheek.

　　"ah?"

　　Ah, Agor?

　　Talulah opened her eyes wide.

　　Isn't that also in Terra?

　　Kashchey once mentioned that there was a country called Agor under the sea.

　　But Ursus had hardly any interaction with Agor.

　　It is said that the Agors are arrogant and rude, and regard the land people as barbaric.

　　But Skadi didn't show that at all.

　　“Gah!”

　　Broken Tooth ran out from behind the little lord, and then rushed into the ruins of Agor city like a madman.

　　"Broken Tooth, where are you going?"

　　Kiana Kaslana tried to catch up with the Zergling that was like a husky on the loose.

　　She looked at the ruins of the city in the distance——

　　"Wait, it seems like there are fewer ruins?"

　　About one-fifth to one-quarter of the ruins are gone.

　　Some purple appeared from the ruins of the building.

　　Take a closer look——

　　It was discovered that it was Drones coming and going.

　　After noticing the white-haired ball, the Drones stopped their actions and raised their paws in salute.

　　This two-legged beast exudes a strong aura of dominance.

　　“So many Drones!”

　　Kiana's eyes widened.

　　There were almost stars in his eyes.

　　After all, these little guys are very cute, just as cute as springtails.

　　“…”

　　The dragon girl walked up to the girl.

　　She saw many creatures with the same style as... Broken Tooth.

　　Almost formed a stream of purple insects.

　　In their hands they hold all kinds of resources - metal, stone, plastic...

　　Talulahh saw a tiny purple creature raise its tiny paw and tap on a broken sculpture.

　　Then--

　　A neat piece of stone fell from the sculpture.

　　"???"

　　The dragon girl's mouth opened slightly wider, enough to fit her own thick, hard tail.

　　How is this done?

　　Why is it that just by tapping the sculpture lightly, a neat piece of stone can be knocked out directly?

　　Talulahh, who had received higher education, felt that her worldview might be about to collapse.

　　No, no, no, it must be some magical Originium technique...

　　No way!

　　Not only that little purple creature can do it, other little purple creatures can do it too.

　　Hitting the building ruins caused metal and stone chunks to fall off.

　　Hit the trash can and pieces of plastic fell out.

　　The Dragon Girl felt that the edifice of physics had collapsed.

　　"Um, Kiana..."

　　Talulahh looked at her companions.

　　"Hey, what a cute little guy..."

　　The white-haired ball was currently holding a worker bee and rubbing it hard.

　　"Gu!"

　　The eyes of the trapped worker bee turned into white circles and it stretched out its two claws as if asking for help.

　　“…”

　　Talulahh covered her forehead.

　　Then she saw several balloon-like creatures floating in the sky.

　　As if noticing the gaze from below, a balloon drew the gaze away from the newspaper.

　　After it noticed the master, it slowly floated down.

　　"Hey, when did these balloons appear?"

　　Kiana Kaslana seemed to have discovered a new world.

　　"They are the Overseer!"

　　Zerg introduced it this way.

　　They often serve as tactical communication nodes for the Zerg, relaying the Overmind's orders.

　　"Overseer?"

　　Talulah pondered.

　　Then she found a tentacle appeared in front of her——

　　Rolled up in it was a cup of... hot tea?

　　"Mmmm."

　　The balloon-like Overseer looked at her as if inviting her to have tea.

　　“…”

　　Where did you get the hot tea?

　　The dragon girl took the hot tea with a numb look on her face.

　　I took a sip and it tasted pretty good.

　　"Mmmm."

　　She saw the tentacle retract, and then she took out another cup of hot tea from behind her.

　　“…”

　　Well, the edifice of science has collapsed.

　　Talulah had no expression on her face.

　　"For me? Thank you!"

　　Kiana Kaslana was also a little confused about where the Overseer got the hot tea from, but she quickly put it out of her mind.

　　Looking at these cute little guys, all the tiredness of today is completely washed away!

　　“Hu…ha…”

　　After taking a sip of hot tea, the white-haired ball's eyes narrowed.

　　After freezing in the snow for who knows how long, it’s really nice to be able to drink a sip of hot tea!

　　"Mmmm."

　　The Overseer looked up and down at the life form following the Overlord, and after noticing the other's warm coat, the balloon-like creature put away the newspaper.

　　Then Talulahh saw it pull out from somewhere... a pair of reading glasses and a ball of yarn and a few sewing needles???

　　The dragon girl took a sip of hot tea.

　　Well, that makes sense.

　　After all, the edifice of science has collapsed.

　　“You can also knit scarves!”

　　The heartless white-haired ball's eyes were sparkling.

　　"Mmmm."

　　The Overseer wearing reading glasses nodded.

　　Several tentacles skillfully controlled the sewing needles to penetrate.

　　After knitting a scarf at a dazzling speed, it handed it to the white-haired ball.

　　"For me?"

　　Kiana Kaslana was stunned.

　　"Mmmm."

　　The Overlord said that this was the case.

　　"Thank you, um... I don't have anything to give in return."

　　Kiana felt around her body, but there was nothing.

　　"By the way, I'll bring you some newspapers when I come over later!"

　　She had seen the Overlord reading a newspaper before.

　　"Mmmm."

　　A tentacle of the Overlord stretched out.

　　"Then it's a deal!"

　　Kiana clapped her hands with the tentacle, looking very happy.

　　“…”

　　Are you assimilated a little too quickly?

　　Talulahh kept her eyes wide open.

　　Her three views were shattered to the point of being nothing, but Kiana Kaslana seemed to have adapted to it.

　　Am I abnormal, or is Kiana abnormal?

　　The Dragon Girl fell into self-doubt.

　　"Gah."

　　Several dog heads suddenly emerged from the surrounding ruins.

　　Then more dog heads popped up.

　　Being stared at by so many...little creatures, Talulahh felt a great deal of pressure.

　　Because she had seen similar little guys entangled with the inner guards before.

　　"Yes, a lot..."

　　Kiana Kaslana sighed unconsciously.

　　“Gah!”

　　Then the little purple creatures rushed over.

　　"Kiana, get out of here first!"

　　Seeing so many little guys rushing over, Talulahh was a little panicked.

　　"Why?"

　　The white-haired ball turned his head in confusion and looked at the dragon girl.

　　Then she was pounced on by many little guys.

　　“Slurp.”

　　“Slurp.”

　　“Slurp.”

　　Talulah's outstretched hand froze in place.

　　"...Zerg, what are they doing?"

　　The dragon girl lowered her head and asked the little child.

　　"They think Kiana tastes delicious!"

　　The Overlord of the Swarm gave his own answer.

　　“…”

　　Tastes good?

　　Talulahh fell into deep thought.

　　"Of course I smell good!"

　　"Hey, wait, don't lick there!"

　　"No, stop licking!"

　　At first, Kiana Kaslana's voice was full of energy, and then her voice gradually became strange.

　　"Gu!"

　　A white hand stretched out from the purple quilt, as if its owner was trying to struggle out.

　　Then--

　　“Slurp!”

　　A springtail noticed the hand.

　　It stuck out its pink tongue and licked my hand.

　　No corner was left out.

　　It's not just the white and tender fingertips, but also the delicious gaps between the fingers.

　　"Hahaha, stop licking!"

　　“It’s so itchy!”

　　“It feels so weird!”

　　Kiana Kaslana only felt that the exposed parts of her body were being licked by the little guys.

　　Not just her cheeks, but even her hands.

　　The white-haired ball could feel the soft tongue licking between his fingers.

　　"Help, help me!"

　　It was so itchy that Kiana Kaslana was forced to call for help.

　　Otherwise, she was afraid that she would die of laughter here.

　　“Gah!”

　　Then a winged springtail rushed out and knocked several springtails away.

　　"Gah."

　　The springtails surrounding the white-haired ball immediately dispersed.

　　"Yes, I'm saved..."

　　Kiana Kaslana sat up and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　She saw the tiny creature standing right in front of her.

　　Based on the wings on its back, its identity can be inferred——

　　It was the Broken Tooth that was having fun earlier.

　　"Thanks, Broken Tooth."

　　When White-haired Dumpling first discovered these little guys, they could be a nuisance when their numbers grew.

　　Alas, even these little guys can't resist her damn charm.

　　"Gah."

　　Broken Tooth turned his head and found that almost all the energy that the white-haired ball had released from its body surface had been licked away.

　　It didn't lick it at all.

　　“…”

　　Talulahh, who was watching, said nothing.

　　She felt like an outsider, and Kiana—

　　It's already integrated.

　　"Broken Tooth, what are you biting in your mouth?"

　　Kiana Kaslana noticed with her sharp eyes that Broken Tooth seemed to be biting something in his mouth.

　　Like some kind of clothing.

　　"Gah."

　　Broken Tooth spat out what he was biting in his mouth, then squatted on the ground obediently.

　　After touching the dog's head, the white-haired ball picked up the thing and unfolded it.

　　“…”

　　She was silent.

　　This... looks like a swimsuit?

　　Also, the style seems a little too bold.

　　Where did the broken tooth come from?

　　Even this swimsuit is still 100% new.

　　The white-haired ball subconsciously compared his body shape with his own.

　　Just right?

　　She came to this conclusion.

　　“Crash.”

　　There was a sound of newspapers being flipped.

　　Kiana looked in the direction of the voice.

　　Then she saw Talulahh flipping through the newspaper.

　　At this moment, Dragon girl looked at the newspaper in her hand——

　　The content above... looks like some kind of children's graffiti.

　　"What is this?"

　　Talulahh pointed to a graffiti with a number after it.

　　"This is the hatchery!"

　　Zerg poked his head out.

　　“…What about this?”

　　The dragon girl pointed to a green graffiti, which was also followed by a number.

　　"Spawning Pool!"

　　The Swarm Master replied.

　　“…”

　　Are you sure it's not a swimming pool?

　　Talulahh stared at the doodle.

　　Floating on the green water were… children’s toys and inflatable chairs with parasols.

　　They are all painted vividly.

　　The dragon girl didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

　　Below are the icons of three kinds of creatures, each followed by a large number.

　　"Overseer, Broken Tooth, those magical little guys..."

　　Talulahh closed the newspaper.

　　Well, that's how it is. She gradually understood everything...

　　Okay, I still don’t understand.

　　Why are the numbers in the newspaper changing automatically?

　　How was it done?

　　"Zerg is going back!"

　　The little swarm master suddenly said this.

　　The high-energy organisms that were previously devoured have been completely refined into energy crystals. It is time to put them into the initial hatchery to allow them to mutate into Lair!

　　And it's time to hatch the Queen!

　　"Go back?"

　　Talulah was stunned.

　　Then she watched the tiny child run deeper into the ruins of the city.

　　"Wait for me, Zerg!"

　　In this absurd and bizarre place, it is the familiar people who give the Dragon Girl a sense of reality.

　　Otherwise, she always felt that—

　　I feel like I'm in some funny cartoon.

　　Well, Kiana may have been assimilated into a funny character.

　　But Talulah, who considers herself a fighter, thinks it’s better to be serious.

　　"Broken Tooth, Go!"

　　Kiana Kaslana found the reins from somewhere and put them on the little Zergling.

　　She waved her arm with great vigor.

　　The combination of Kiana and Broken Tooth, attack!

　　“Gah!”

　　Then the Dragon Girl only saw a white afterimage rushing out.

　　She could barely see clearly... the expression on the white-haired ball's face suddenly stiffened.

　　"Too fast, slow down, broken teeth!"

　　"Get out of the way, we're about to get hit!"

　　Screams echoed among the ruins of the city.

　　"boom!"

　　There was a loud bang, and smoke and dust rose not far away.

　　“…”

　　Talulahh saw a human figure appear on one of the walls.

　　Its shape...is almost 100% consistent with the white-haired ball.

　　She's really become a funny character!

　　“Bang!”

　　The dragon girl covered her face.

　　Not long ago, they were fighting desperately with those Ursus lackeys, but now...

　　She shook her head.

　　But I did feel relaxed for the first time in a long time.

　　If you have a chance, bring Alina here too.

　　Talulahh thought.

　　I definitely don't think that her values cannot be shattered alone!

　　I looked around and there was no one else around.

　　The Dragon Girl took a deep breath, and then she shouted -

　　"Talulah, attack!"

　　Maybe it's time to let yourself go!

　　It feels so good to run freely!

　　"Mmmm."

　　The Overseer that was floating nearby scratched its chin with its tentacles, and then it slowly floated up.

　　The ruins of the city fell silent again.
