A Faceless Minion post?! What year is it?!
Ahem, to anyone actually here for the Faceless Minion (my very first series!), it's still alive! Well, everyone here should be aware of what's going on with Terminate and Bee Dungeon, so let's skip to the good part!
Terminate the Other World is completed for the second time so I have a bit more leeway, and now we can market the Faceles...

Juosiutik huddled in a corner of her home. She shuddered as her tears flowed. She still heard buzzing in her ears, still felt the sting on her shoulder. She felt prickling sensations all across her body.
She had known, logically, that Belissar commanded great power. She knew that one word from him could end her life or seal the fate of her entire people. But now, she realized, she hadn’t believed that Belissar himself was powerful. She had ascribed his power to the bees and the tower ...

The First of the Fifth’s First Daughter crawled up to the top of her joint hive. She was joined by a large group of communers and drones. The communers and drones surrounded her in a circle and then the communers stirred their mana while the drones mixed it together, strengthening the bond of the hive. The First Daughter then stirred up and linked her own mana into the mix before beginning to dance.
“Hello, this is First of the Fifth’s First Daughter. Hive of hives can see dance?...

“So, Juosiutik…is this about the spiderkin?”
Juosiutik grimaced.
“Belissar…are you truly planning to raise those monsters here?”
Belissar narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. All his thoughts, concerns, and plans vanished once she called them monsters.
“Yes. And don’t call them monsters, Juosiutik. That’s what the Tower Lords would do.”
Juosiutik glared at him.
“They killed my family, Belissar! They took everything from me!”

Please select one Flower-type room feature:
- Universal Floriculture Pot (Rarity: Rare, Type: Flower, Resource)
- Random Rare Resource Flower (Rarity: Rare, Type: Flower, Resource, Variable)
- Thundering Balsam (Rarity: Rare, Type: Flower, Trap, Explosive)
Belissar grinned. A reward full of rare Flower options was a great treat for his Tower. The bees were already buzzing in anticipation. Belissar didn’t keep them waiting.

Belissar considered skipping the daily purification to let everyone recover, but the bee army assembled at the normal time ready to go. The army hadn’t been diminished much despite the recent casualties, ultimately Belissar conceded to their resolve. He did, however, move the battle Dirt Tunnels and Lava Field back in front.
Another turtle shade appeared and the traps did their thing. The shade fell into the first Pit Trap as usual and that was that.
And now, finally, it was tim...

Author’s Note: You know, things are going great. Both Terminate the Other World! and Bee Dungeon are published to glowing reviews, we have a great and enthusiastic community, the robots and bees are all happy. Which means it’s time to stop, reboot, and rewrite everything for no reason! With multiverses and cross-overs! So, bee-hold the great retcon and the birth of the Icalos Crossover Universe!

Belissar stood before the shrine in the Third of the Sixth’s home lava field, one where the God of Fire had a brazier. He held the stone jar with the burning mead up over the brazier.
“I’m sorry it took a while, but here you go. I hope you like it, I’ll keep making more too. Thank you for all of your help and blessings.”
Belissar really hoped the God of Fire liked the mead, because he had no idea if it was good or not. He had tried it, but even a tiny drop set his mouth ...

“Belissar, could we talk?”
Belissar was finishing his morning routine when Chief Rohsuak sent him a message. He sighed to himself. His last interaction with the karnuq hadn’t been the most pleasant, but this was a conversation they needed to have.
“Ok, I’ll head over.”
Belissar walked over to the karnuq settlement. The karnuq going about their days seemed withdrawn, giving him short greetings and steeling glances at him when they thought he wasn...

Having made his decision, Belissar had the bees move the spiderkin eggs to the Orchard grove, clustering them around the trunks of the trees. He wanted them close to the bee army if they did turn out to be hostile after they hatched, but didn’t want them exposed to purifications in the battle meadow, so he figured keeping them in the main shortcut room was the best compromise. After setting them in place, he asked the Second of the Sixth’s hive to take a closer look. She brought over some...

Metsaitti did not reply at first and the rest of his team took up positions in the room. The karnuq moved to block any other exits, the monster bee archers pointed their stingers towards the spiderkin, and the monster bee battlecasters began their dance. The spiderkin laughed, which turned into another hacking cough.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be around much longer even if you don’t kill me. I took a cloud of death cap smoke to the face, I have to sustain my body with magic just to a...

Since some spiderkin had escaped the vanguard, the army abandoned the slow, stealthy approach and began to march as quickly as they could. They soon came to a spot where the Underway expanded into a giant cavern supported by pillars, a place tall enough for the bees to fly. The bee scouts reported the spiderkin arriving in force at the far side of the cavern, led by a large spiderkin with noticeably greater mana than her peers. It seemed both armies settled on the same place for their battle....

Belissar’s eyes widened.
“Wait, dungeon masters revive?”
Nenavann nodded.
“Indeed. From what we understand, it is at the discretion of your patron god, so it is not guaranteed like with the conduits, but it does happen. I would still try to avoid death if at all possible, but you don’t need to worry about Princess Finnakynne joining the fray. She’s…well, I have reason to believe she will be revived if worst comes to worst.”
Belissar frowned, clenching h...

Lilussees once again found herself awake at an ungodly hour, facing the important demon under the scrutiny of their entire house. Her eye twitched as he smiled at her.
Why?! Why was this stupid, evil, early-rising demon tormenting her once more?!
Lilussees didn’t bother waiting this time around. Her mother had told her “keep up whatever she did” so that is what she would do. The moment that important demon sat down, she marched right over to him and started hissing in his ea...

As Belissar met with the Circle dungeon masters, the bees and the karnuq prepared for an Underway expedition. Metsaitti led the karnuq this time, consisting of their most veteran hunters along with Noigakkuq for her nose. They were accompanied by several squads of monster bee soldiers and a contingent of medicinal bees from the Second of the Sixth’s hive, while the digging and blinding bees would form a forward screen. Juosiutik supplied them with as many antidotes and potions as they could...

The next morning, the Second of the Sixth rested on a table to the side, her workers feeding her honey, while the medicinal karnuq checked on the wounded one. The medicinal one turned to her with wide eyes.
“I can’t believe it. Not only is he fully stabilized, he’s well on his way to recovery after a single night. Did you help, Second Queen of the First Dynasty of the Sixth Spawner?”
The Second of the Sixth had one of her workers dance for her as she kept eating.

Belissar called for an emergency gathering of his council. All the bee queens and notable karnuq, along with Sehfitis and Hirkolos. Tarwantrad was dealing with some sort of issue in her own dungeon, so for now Belissar just informed the flower monster stationed by the nexus door that they had been attacked and were planning a response.
Paloiku reported the attack to everyone, after which Chief Rohsuak shared what she knew on the spiderkin. Sehfitis’s eyes widened.
“I know of w...

“Arrows incoming!”
Paloiku held her shield up as yet another volley of arrows flew out of the dark. She gritted her teeth as she heard the clangs of the arrows against their shields. The karnuq’s own archers retaliated with a volley of their own while the whole group slowly backed away. The hunter next to her growled.
“Why in the gods names is there a spiderkin band here?!”
Paloiku wanted to know the answer to that as well, but right now she had bigger concerns. Ma...

Belissar thought the Firstborn would head back to her hive after swearing the oath, but instead she hovered before him.
“King, want anoint champion? Need King watch, can?”
Belissar smiled and nodded at her.
“That sounds great, go ahead.”
Belissar stood by as the Firstborn called up Beero. His smile grew, Beero certainly deserved any recognition they could bestow on her. Beero and the Firstborn then flew over and hovered before Belissar at chest level, with Beer...

Forgemaster Ughlarer trembled as he turned back to Tamosmed, while armed black elves surrounded them both.
“Never in all my years did I ever imagine it would come to this. The day when my kin, my own flesh and blood, would turn his back on his family, his people, and all that is fair. Tell me, Tamosmed, what is it you have done?”
Tamosmed held his head high.

The queen of queens trembled mid-air, her wings buzzing loud. How was this possible?! By the Flower Tender, what was going on?! How had the newcomer built an army that could challenge her own in a mere week?!
Or…was the hive that sent the newcomer so large and powerful that they could afford to send a hundred soldiers with a new swarm?! What kind of hive could do such a thing?! How could a single queen even lay the sheer number of eggs required for such a hive?!
And worse still ...

The stingless queen shook herself and gently, ever so gently, beat her wings. The past few days had been…trying, for her and her swarm. Once she had stopped panicking over the vast swarms of giant monsters and armies larger than she could comprehend all around her, the new flower tender’s mana had hit her like a soldier bee tackle. Her mind was flooded with new instincts and new kinds of bees she never could have imagined. Apparently, soldier bees were only the very start of what was poss...

The Firstborn stood before a large cell prepared just for her. Her workers had just finished filling it with the First of the Fifth’s new honey, the soft glow of the powerful honey illuminating the cells around it. She turned to face those accompanying her.
Every queen of the Bee Barracks had gathered before her. Her children, her spawner sisters, and those who had joined in the hive of hives. Beero had returned as well for this moment.
The Firstborn danced, not giving a command...

The Firstborn wanted to evolve? Belissar smiled and was about to agree when Niobee began to elaborate.
“Firstborn thinks need to fight to try evolve, can?”
Belissar frowned at that.

The Firstborn stood still on the ground. One of her soldiers buzzed in the air, swaying back and forth. She sent an encouraging dance to the soldier through her mana, as she had for each attempt beforehand. The soldier was still blaring concern through their mana connection, but tru...

Prince Galois watched the young lady in front of him. She gave him a pristine smile, just enough to indicate pleasure without excessively pulling on the muscles of her face. She held her dress at precisely the correct angle as she curtseyed the exact distance down for the daughter of a noble greeting royalty.
“I, Lady Lilussees of House Atreis, greet His Highness Prince Galois. How do you do?”
He put on his own perfected smile as he placed his hand over his heart and inclined ...

The next day, Belissar awoke to a message from the Tower.
A monster has evolved!
Monster Bee Trapper is now available!
Belissar blinked at the sudden words. Thanks to the Tower’s magic, he always woke up fully alert…and yet, it still took him a minute to comprehend what he was reading. A monster evolved? Monster Bee Weaver? To help him figure out what was going on, he opened the new bee’s description.

“Tower Keeper, thank you for your time. May I voice a concern?”
Belissar nodded. He took some time this morning to check on the other humans in the Tower, so that was precisely what he was here for. Sehfitis let out a sigh.

Belissar frowned.

“Gah!”
The wolfkin man cried out as a pillar of fire burned right past his face. He fell to the ground, clutching the area by his left eye. He had escaped death as the pillar had not struck him directly, but it had come close enough to burn the left side of his face.
“You incompetent mongrel! After all this time, you can’t even find a single bee?!”
The man gritted his teeth as he pulled himself to face forward and bow. Tears formed in his eyes from the pain but he ...

The Third of the Sixth zipped off and curled up in a cell within her hive after the choice was made. The rest of the day after that was uneventful and the daily purification was handled without issue. It was not long before Belissar found himself before his council once more. While he still figured he’d wait on buying any more options from the DP store…a reward from the God of Bees herself was too tempting to delay.
“Hi everyone, we have another monster choice from the God of Bees...
