Chapter 175 Ant King x Surrender x Mother and Son Both Harvested (62000 words)
In terms of pure strength, the Ant King is the strongest individual Su Wu has encountered so far.
Whether it's defensive capabilities or offensive capabilities.
They might even get stronger as they play, as if they are growing and improving every minute and every second.
Human palaces could not withstand the devastation of the two men; everything they passed through was reduced to ruins.
The corpse soldiers controlled by Neferpitou didn't have time to get far before they were caught in the crossfire and died again.
Neferpitou didn't have time to deal with the corpses for the time being. His eyes were fixed on the two figures, his crimson eyes darting around, sometimes contracting and sometimes dilating.
Even so, it is still quite difficult to capture their movements without missing a single second.
However, both of their mental abilities were exceptionally strong, so strong that even if one could not see their figures, one could still sense their presence.
The Ant King has a hard shell that can withstand nuclear bombs, so Su Wu went all out. The Ant King has a long, thick tail that looks like a whip, so Su Wu took out the Heavenly Reversal Strike.
Sparks actually flew out when the tail collided and rubbed against the Heavenly Reverse Beam.
The two of them visibly became more and more excited, and even the green Ant King, which did not conform to Su Wu's aesthetic sense, became pleasing to the eye.
Strength is beauty!
Neferpitou was followed by two other ants, who kept a close but not too close following the two.
Until they saw rain falling from the sky.
A... special rain.
Clothes and food were scattered all over the ground, like a gift package falling from the sky.
Su Wu's face instantly darkened.
Ugly Baby, who was clinging to him, was blown to pieces by the Ant King's tail.
Because of his shameless behavior, he didn't dodge at all and completely forgot about Ugly Baby.
Theoretically speaking, when he was driving with no limits, Ugly Baby didn't actually touch him, and no limits wouldn't protect Ugly Baby.
Besides, Ugly Baby is just a useless little thing that can only store things...
So, naturally, he was blown up by the Ant King. In fact, the Ant King didn't do it on purpose; his original target was Su Wu's head.
Su Wu simply turned her head away to avoid it.
He spent a billion to buy this ugly treasure... and just like that... it got destroyed??
Hahaha.
It won't end until they lose money.
"I'm getting excited." The white-haired boy seemed to unconsciously widen his eyes, his pupils contracted, and the corners of his mouth turned up, looking like he had found an interesting toy.
"Where's your ultimate move? Use it!"
"Try it, see if you can withstand one of my blows."
"Spell Reversal - Heh."
"Maximum output".
It was as if the world was shrouded in darkness, except for a sun that seemed to be shrunk countless times in the boy's fingertips.
Then, the shrunken sun headed towards the ant king.
Before they could even blink, the ball of light had already struck the Ant King.
The light shone brightly and lasted for a long time, like a shooting star, flying backwards all the way back to the palace. It crashed through the palace buildings before stopping, and the blinding light disappeared completely.
Only the ant king remained, lying amidst the ruins.
A piece of gravel fell and hit him on the head, but was blocked by the hat on his head.
"Your Majesty!" Neferpitou's three ants immediately rushed to his side to check on his condition.
The Chimera Ants' incredible vitality was on full display at this moment; the Ant King was still alive, and the injuries on his body didn't seem to have any effect on him.
"I'll prepare food for you right away." The golden-haired ant with wings and antennae, which looked like a butterfly, was excited and nervous during the rain of ants, flapping its wings and flying away quickly.
The ability to grow stronger and heal itself simply by eating is an innate talent of the Ant King.
Meanwhile, Neferpitou is also using his abilities to heal the King Ant.
"Hey, pay up." The white-haired boy appeared beside a few ants without anyone noticing. His expression was gloomy and full of murderous intent.
They fought with our king like this, destroyed his palace, and now they want us to pay them back?
Shameless humans!
"You broke one of my extremely rare storage items," Su Wu said expressionlessly.
Cursed spirits, how can something that doesn't exist in this world not be considered extremely rare?
Moreover, he just asked the system and found out that Ugly Baby can be resurrected after being killed, but it will cost money.
He only spent 1 billion to buy Ugly Treasure, but now he wants to charge him 2 billion to revive Ugly Treasure.
Ha, a money-grubbing system.
"...Does a human king also lack money?" The Ant King stood up, his injuries not causing any change in his expression, but he looked puzzled when he heard the boy ask him for money.
How could Wang... possibly lack something like this?
From the moment the king ant is born, he enjoys the treatment of a king. He doesn't need to worry about anything. He only needs to give an order, and his subordinates will do their best, even at the cost of their lives, to complete his command.
The aloof king need not care how many ants below him have died for this.
However, when faced with powerful humans, the Ant King is willing to communicate with them on an equal footing.
"Who told you I'm the king of humans?" The white-haired boy seemed to roll his eyes.
Who knows what tricks the human nations of this world, like V5, are hiding, or why they're so desperate to become king?
Wang's small-scale operations don't sound very sophisticated; he's like a village chief.
He was also impatient to stay in the same place for too long and too lazy to cultivate reliable subordinates.
"Your strength isn't that of a king?" The Ant King was somewhat shocked.
Are there really that many powerful humans?
He began to question the strength of human groups.
"...Maybe." Su Wu chuckled, her expression subtle.
"How strong is the human king?" the Ant King asked.
The human who was just killed by the ants was definitely not a king; he was too weak.
"..." Su Wu recalled Netero, whose strength he could probably only unleash at half, and then thought of those V5 guys who, although their strength was definitely not as good as Netero's, could still order him around. She found it difficult to answer.
Humans are different from ants; they are not ranked solely by strength.
Unless someone is strong enough to rival the entire world, but at least there isn't such a person right now.
Therefore, humans have no king.
As for the kings of those countries... expecting them to be powerful? Forget it.
"Humans have many kings," Su Wu said meaningfully.
Yes, many kings.
The newly born, naive (?) ant king was immediately astonished by this news.
It seems that the conquest of this world needs to pause for a while longer.
"So stop talking nonsense and pay me back quickly," Su Wu urged.
Although this guy is quite strong, and it was quite fun fighting him, I have to pay for the damage I caused to his things.
"..." The Ant King looked at Neferpitou.
What use would ants have for human money? They certainly don't have any, but that's not necessarily true...
The loyal guards understood the king's meaning with just a glance.
"There is a great deal of treasure in the human royal palace," Neferpitou said respectfully.
These treasures are useless to the ants; food is far more useful for them.
"You can take all those treasures," the Ant King said calmly, his tone revealing his indifference towards money.
He was willing to give treasure to the human in front of him whose strength he recognized.
"..." Su Wu twitched the corner of her mouth.
Those things originally belonged to humans.
Well, since the Ant King has taken over this palace, it's as if he has taken over everything. It's reasonable for him to take it back from the Ant King; it doesn't count as robbing the human government's property.
Besides, given how things have become, it's uncertain whether NGL will even exist in the future.
So after Su Wu resurrected Chou Bao, she swept all the treasures from the palace.
He then looked up at the antique gold decorations on the wall and the jewel-encrusted furniture, and remained silent for a moment.
The next second, all those things disappeared from their original spots.
This once magnificent palace had already been partially damaged during their battle, and now, having lost its decorations, it looked strangely dilapidated.
After packing up almost all the valuables in the palace, Su Wu's mana bar was fully restored.
His mana bar, or rather, the total amount of his spell power, is currently at the level of an ordinary top-tier spellcaster. It cannot compare to Sukuna's total spell power, nor does it have Gojo Satoru's mana regeneration buff that has virtually no cooldown. It is only enough, but not suitable for prolonged battles. Of course, when he is particularly angry, his spell power will surge.
At the same time, because of the existence of the six eyes and the lack of limits, he is essentially fighting while being debuffed.
The compatibility isn't full, and the skill's effect isn't sufficient. Simply put, he can't yet easily defeat the Ant King with a single blow, haha.
After all, he was the strongest guy he had encountered so far.
This is even more interesting now; he's just missing an invincible practice opponent!
Although the battle was both painful and exhilarating, it wasn't a big problem.
Su Wu raised her hand and used Cangjiang to suck up the supplies scattered in different places, piling them into several small mountains, and then ruthlessly stuffed things into the mouth of the newly resurrected Chou Bao.
The strong suction made the ant king turn its head and look over, its tail swaying inexplicably happily behind it.
"..." He looked around at the palace he had just seized, which had been broken into not long before, and showed a disgusted expression. "A dilapidated place."
But this is already the most luxurious place in NGL.
"Your Majesty, we will repair it immediately," Neferpitou said, still kneeling on one knee.
She seemed to be kneeling most of the time in front of the Ant King.
The ant king refers to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor") when addressing these ants.
"Ah, I remember now, where's your mother? Is she still alive?" Su Wu suddenly remembered the question she had been curious about.
Are you Chimera Ants really trying to establish a dual monarchy?
"Disgusting and insignificant creatures, their life or death is unimportant." The Ant King's expression was cold, and his tone was quite ruthless.
The fact that the food tasted bad made Su Wu's lips curl into a smile.
It sounds like this incredibly filial son even ate his own mother's food? And he even complained that his mother's food was unpalatable? That's just too much filial piety.
"The queen exists only to give birth to the king. Now that the king has been born, she is of no use." Neferpitou's smile was full of self-righteousness.
Even the king doesn't care about the queen who gave birth to him, so why would his loyal guards care?
Therefore, even though she awakened a special ability, she never thought of healing the Queen.
"I see." Su Wu's face showed an expression of satisfaction at having her curiosity fulfilled.
So it wasn't a two-kingdoms reign after all. It sounds like the queen was just a tool for the king's sake.
They keep having offspring, from ordinary ants to Neferpitou, the ant king's bodyguard, and even the ant king himself—all of them are born from the queen.
After the king ant is born, the queen can die.
Purely a reproductive tool.
As expected, a queen and a king cannot coexist.
Ugly Baby swallowed the supplies while crying, glanced at the Ant King, and then burst into tears again.
It clearly still remembers how the Ant King used its tail to blow its head off.
Seriously, it's all because this guy was too weak that he got crushed.
This ruined his mood, which had originally made him want to continue playing with the Ant King.
"I'm leaving now. I'll come find you again next time, Number One." Su Wu waved to the Ant King, showing no sign of the irreconcilable enmity between humans and ants.
If it were anyone else, the King Ant's tail would probably have blown their head off.
However... given the opponent's strength, the Ant King had tried many times to defeat him during their previous encounters, failing each time and unable to hit him at all.
Although the opponent's previous attacks hadn't caused him much damage, and only the last move had actually hurt him, these actions still proved the opponent's strength.
The strong have privileges.
Therefore, he simply ignored this attitude.
However… “Number One… is he addressing me as ‘I’?” The Ant King looked at Neferpitou calmly.
"He is extremely rude, Your Majesty." Neferpitou bowed his head deeply, his tone full of displeasure.
In the blink of an eye, she was slapped by the ant king with his tail.
"Shut up," the ant king snapped.
No matter what, that human was a strong person, and the strong deserve respect. And what was Neferpitou? Just a servant weaker than him.
The king ant's perception of all ants is that they are his servants.
Life is in his hands, and it is only right to do anything for him.
"I apologize for my rudeness." Neferpitou, who had been sent flying by the Ant King, silently turned his head back to its original position, demonstrating his unwavering loyalty.
But Wang clearly didn't care.
……
Su Wu left the palace, which now belonged to the Ant King, feeling refreshed. Along the way, she didn't find the miscellaneous fish and ants so offensive anymore.
After all, they had just fought with their Wang Da, and it was fun; they'd fight again next time.
As for calling him Ant King Number One, it's because he doesn't know what the other ant's name is, and he can't address the other ant as King or Your Majesty like other ants do.
So they assigned a serial number to it.
The queen is sequence 0, the ant king is sequence 1, the white cat ant is sequence 2, the golden-haired ant is sequence 3, the purple giant is sequence 4, and the rest are all miscellaneous ants N, which is very reasonable.
Speaking of which, the Ant King is pretty cool, and it seems like it would be quite stylish to keep him as a pet...
A bunch of random thoughts flashed through his mind as he strolled leisurely through the forest.
Ants have their own special network of communication, and Su Wu felt that she might even be famous among the ant colony.
Because... the first reaction of the ants around him when they see him is to run far away.
It's hard to imagine what his reputation is like in the ant colony, but Su Wu doesn't care.
It's a good thing for him that there are no troublesome fish in his way.
Until he sensed a familiar figure ahead wreaking havoc.
Some of the stronger ants followed the ant king, some left on their own, and others avoided Kate from a distance. No ant went to stop Kate.
This guy's reputation in the ant colony seems to be just as bad as mine.
Seeing Kate reminded Su Wu of something very important.
"Kate!" The white-haired boy suddenly appeared in front of the silver-haired man, a bullet just grazing his face.
In fact, it was originally aimed at his head, but Su Wu avoided it by turning his head to the side.
Anyone who has ever killed someone knows that suddenly appearing in front of someone who is killing someone is a very dangerous thing.
Because the other party was menacing and paranoid.
"...It's you." Kate saw the familiar figure and silently put away her weapon.
"Don't go back to the human world for the time being," the white-haired boy said to him with a smile.
"What happened?" Kate's first reaction was to ponder deeply. Could something have gone wrong on the human side?
"No, it's just that you're already dead over there." The white-haired boy smiled brightly.
Kate remained silent, her eyes, hidden by her hair, seemed to widen: ...?
Where did the news come from?
"Because Gon and Killua are training like crazy to help you get revenge," Su Wu said matter-of-factly.
"It would be more beneficial for their training if you were dead." It seemed as if he was thinking of Killua and Gon's best interests, and not just satisfying his own perverse pleasure.
"...I see." Kate nodded.
He was never the type to spoil children. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have taken Killua and Gon along and let them fight the ants themselves.
After hearing that this would benefit their training, he agreed.
However, he couldn't keep this a secret from them forever; when the time was right, he should show himself to them.
Otherwise, if they become obsessed with hatred, they will unknowingly go to extremes, which will not do them any good.
After saying goodbye to Kate, Su Wu planned to leave because he finally remembered the man and tiger he had forgotten.
But from afar came anxious calls from behind.
"Humans—"
"The humans over there—"
"Please wait a moment—"
Ants actually came to them on their own initiative? They even sounded quite polite.
And those two siblings were there too?
Su Wu stopped and turned to look.
An ant that looked like... a goblin? Or a goblin (gray-skinned version) with wings, and a bunch of ants with features of tigers, leopards, owls and the like appeared in a hurry.
They looked to be from a different social class than the three guys who accompanied the Ant King, and their strength was also vastly different.
So the Ant King only took the three of them with him, which makes sense.
Kate looked at the swarm of ants and silently raised her weapon.
"What do you want?" Su Wu asked casually, seemingly without any sense of vigilance.
Although he asked about the ant, his eyes were actually fixed on the two siblings following behind it.
"The Queen is dying. Although we tried to prolong her life, it was of little use." Amy said this with a smile on her face.
Although they are practically immortal and have a strong healing ability, they cannot heal others.
The reason it was able to hold out for the Queen for so long was because it spun off a part of itself and put it into the Queen's body to sustain her life. However, it couldn't leave its part with the Queen forever. There was no need to continue observing the half-dead Queen ant. So, after it withdrew a part of itself, the Queen's condition deteriorated rapidly.
Several ants begged him for a long time, but he refused to give up any more of his own. Instead, he offered them another option—to ask humans for help.
Neither the brother nor sister, nor even the queen ant herself, would ever think of asking humans, the food the queen was referring to, for help.
Purebred non-humans are still different.
However, the ants born from the queen are a different story. They all have human genes to some extent, and it could even be said that most of them are human, otherwise they would not possess human abilities.
So Amy and Alice were curious about what these ants with human genes would do after being given this choice.
The result was... they actually agreed to seek help from humans, and were even willing to surrender for it.
This development greatly surprised the brother and sister.
Human genes... are truly a terrifying thing.
"..." Su Wu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Ah, so the queen was supposed to be a tool? That ant king is just too...unlovable to the ants!
No wonder she had three subordinates by her side; it turns out the other ants all followed the queen.
That guy, doesn't he feel ashamed at all?
However, the fact that the Chimera Ants would surrender to humans for the sake of the Queen is also quite intriguing.
It inherited not only humanity's potential for development, but also its flaws.
"Was it because the Queen ate too many inferior humans back then...?" Su Wu speculated thoughtfully.
It's a monster that has developed human emotions; that's a truly fatal flaw.
"So you've decided to surrender..." He looked at the white flag in the ant's hand and felt like sighing.
The scene he wanted to see—an army of ants battling an army of humans—was nowhere to be found.
The scene of a human fighting an army of ants, with only about ten humans in total who could fight, is actually quite interesting. It's like a scene from a Hollywood blockbuster, one against a thousand.
I guess we won't see it.
In that case, the Hunter Association would only have to deal with four, right?
The ant king and his three henchmen.
However, according to the subsequent plot, the King Ant will fall in love with a human...
Now there's no one left who can fight.
Here's a joke: the reason the chimera ant army failed was because of the human genes within their bodies.
It sounds like human genes are just like viruses.
"...Humans might be quite happy about that," Su Wu said, but her expression didn't show any joy.
No need to worry about the minions anymore, just focus on dealing with the BOSS. If it were him playing the game, he would be happy too.
After all, when fighting a boss, it's quite possible that the one who takes the last drop of blood isn't the boss, but some random minion passing by...
"But it's no use you coming to me. Go find the humans over there; they're the ones who can talk to you." Su Wu casually pointed in the direction of the cliff where Mo Laowu and Nobu were.
After pointing it out, he realized that he could probably do the same thing himself, such as mobilizing the Hunter Association's medical team.
After all, the review committee, which is known as the Hunter Logistics Department, is specifically for the benefit of hunters.
The creature with a pair of white wings, but resembling a goblin, immediately flew off in the direction Su Wu pointed, carrying the white flag.
"You're not..." Aimei and Alice looked at the white-haired boy.
They remembered that the other person possessed a special ability to heal people and even bring them back to life.
The humans who were killed by Neferpitou before were brought back to life because of him. Logically speaking, he should be able to easily heal the Queen, right?
"If I could, I would really like to keep an ant as a pet..." the white-haired boy said, stroking his chin.
It's always okay to think about it; everyone has the capacity for imagination.
However, he was somewhat hesitant between the Queen and the Ant King.
The Ant King is more handsome and stronger; releasing him would be really cool.
But the queen can give birth, so if she raises the other man, she might be able to build an army of ants as her subordinates, which would be very impressive and cool.
If it's a case of having both mother and child... the conditions don't seem to allow it.
"This is really a dilemma," he sighed with worry.
"You want to... keep chimera ants as pets?" Alice adjusted her glasses.
Is this what humans are like? They'll keep anything as a pet and food?
"Is that not allowed?" The white-haired boy raised an eyebrow and glanced at the ants in front of him who were meek and silent, or rather, dared not speak out in anger.
"The side that raises the white flag should be prepared to abandon its pride and kneel down to the victor," he sneered.
All the defeated side can do is compromise and cede territory and pay reparations, like meat on a chopping block. Isn't that a very simple principle?
