Chapter 528 ( Family Reunion )

Cloud was walking out of the chimera ant colony as he looked around the entrance, only to see how all the survivors of the colony were waiting for him - "I see you followed my instructions."

"I don't want to die" - Welfin said as he shook his head - "And I'm sure the others feel the same way."

Hina nodded weakly as Colt was trying to calm Shidore down because he could instinctively feel how the man in front of them, had annihilated a large part of his "brothers".

"Ok, follow me" - Cloud said as he looked in the direction of a tree because he had felt the presence of the chameleon man.

Colt looked at the others before nodding and following the man.

Welfin took a breath of air before accepting his fate again while Hina was walking a little further behind Colt.

Meleoron followed the group from the shadows, at a safe distance because he knew his former companions weren't too happy with him, and they couldn't blame them either because he almost destroyed their only chance of survival.

The diverse group continued to move forward until they reached a small town after about 20 minutes of walking.

"Have you calmed down yet?" - Menchi asked as she noticed how Cloud seemed to have returned to normal, only to be surprised to see the strange creatures behind him - "They are?"

"Yes, they are part of the Chimera Ant colony, but we'll talk about this when we're all gathered" - Cloud replied as he looked at the light blue haired woman - "Could you call them?"

"It's not hard, they're close by" - Menchi answered as she ran to the others.

* * * * *

Fifteen minutes later, the group was gathered, and watching their new "allies".

"This is a bit awkward" - muttered Hina as she hid behind Colt.

Welfin just closed his eyes as he tried to ignore the stares of the humans, for their part, Colt and Shidore were waiting with concern because they had heard from Cloud, that he would go to look for the one who was supposed to be their progenitor.

"Sorry for the delay" - Cloud said as he entered with a brown-haired woman.

The woman slowly looked in the direction of the creatures, only to open her eyes in surprise at the sight of Colt and Shidore.

"My little ones" - Haruna murmured with tears in her eyes as she ran to her children and hugged them between sobs - "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you."

Colt was silent as he felt something break inside him.

"Leader Colt, are you crying?" - Hina asked with surprise because it was the first time she saw this kind of emotions in one of her superiors.

"I" - muttered Colt as he touched his face and noticed how it was slightly wet - ". . ."

"Kurt, Reina, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry I couldn't save you" - Haruna said as she put more strength into her hug.

She didn't care about her children's new appearances, only that they were safe.

Shidore looked at the woman silently as tears streamed down her big eyes - "Ma-Mom."

"Queen" - Haruna murmured as she pressed a kiss to her daughter's forehead.

Kite found this a bit surreal, but at the same time touching.

The love this mother had for her children was too great, something that reminded him of his past - ". . ."

"It's beautiful" - Gon said as he wiped away tears - "I've never seen anything so touching."

"Damn, something got in my eyes" - Killua said as he looked away to wipe away the tears running down his cheeks.

Netero smiled when he saw this, but at the same time he was slightly confused with the current situation - "How did you manage to convince them to come with you?"

"It was either that, or a slow and painful death" - Welfin answered as he closed his eyes - "I don't understand the reason, but from one moment to the next, our loyalty for the queen, was getting less and less, making making making the decision to save our lives easier and easier"

"If my deduction is correct, then the queen is dead" - Colt said seriously - "And seeing that the [Royal Guards], makes me think that the queen's death was not a natural one"

"I found a strange placenta that was still fresh"- said Cloud as he frowned- "But I didn't find the queen's body when I got to her chamber, that makes me think of two possibilities, one, the [Royal Guards] took her away while you sacrificed yourselves to give you enough time to escape, or two, she died giving birth to a final Chimera Ant, and possibly he, or she, devoured her."

"I think it's the latter" - Colt said seriously as he started to think - "Maybe the queen sacrificed her life to bring the Chimera Ant King into the world, and if so, then things are a lot more dangerous than they think."

"What's so special about this King?" - Piyon asked as she frowned.

"According to the queen's words, he is the perfect Chimera Ant, with a base power far superior to the 3 [Royal Guards] and a pure talent ten times higher at least" - replied Meleoron as he opened his mouth for the first time since he entered the room - "That would explain why Shaiapouf killed my father and the other squadron leaders, they were the ultimate sacrifice next to the queen to bring the new king into the world."

"That would also explain why they sacrificed us so fast, when a new king is born, he takes the guards and leaves the colony to create his own empire" - Welfin added with a frown - "Now I have more less trouble with opening my mouth because I know they betrayed us first. Anyway, what I was trying to say, is that when the king is born, he is going to create his own colony, and depending on his race, he may or may not reproduce with other species that he shares genetic code."

"How compatible is his race with the human race?" - Netero asked with a frown.

"We don't have the slightest idea, but since we were created based on humans, I wouldn't be surprised if we were highly compatible" - replied Meleoron with a frown - "The bright side is that the king doesn't necessarily wish to mate with humans because from the point of view of our race, you are nothing but food"

The expression of those present couldn't have been worse, with the exception of Cloud who was thinking about something - "Tell me, what do you think the chances are that he will mate with a human?"

"Almost nil, the royal family is elitist and proud by nature, the new king will not mate with anyone who is not strong enough, or at least who will gain his attention" - Colt answered as he started to think - "We seek to evolve to the perfect species, so we need the best genes to fulfill our goal"

"Makes sense despite being a bit shady" - Menchi said as the others shook their heads - "But that doesn't change that the level of danger increased considerably."

"I have another question, can you guys copulate with humans?" - Piyon asked while ignoring everything else.

"I have no idea, and it had never crossed my mind, but I think it's possible" - replied Colt while thinking for a few seconds - "Now that the queen is dead, her control over us is also null, that's why we now have free control of our decisions and desires, as well as many of our body functions that had been restricted"

"The queen had used her influence so that we, the females could not mate" - Hina added as everyone looked at her with surprise - "What? This is a normal thing and it's in our instincts."

"Leaving that aside, it makes sense, in nature, queen ants can control the pheromones of their subordinates so that they cannot reproduce, and thus maintain absolute control in the colony" - said Kite while nodding calmly.

"Better stop talking about such embarrassing things, and get to the point, do any of you know where the king is?" - Killua asked in disgust because he didn't like to hear about something so disgusting for a child, like a conversation about mating.

"Sorry brat, but we have no idea, he's long gone and we soldiers have no control, no way to detect our king" - replied Welfin seriously - "And even if we could detect him, that would only make our lives end that much faster because he could do the same"

"Is there no way to find him?" - Kyoko asked with a frown.

"No, if he wanted to, he could turn off his aura and move wherever he wanted, though if I had to give you an address, I'd say he went to a far area" - replied Colt as he closed his eyes - "At least that's what I would do in a situation like this. I would go to a sparsely populated area and take control of the place, now that the king has evolved to a higher life form, he has no need to eat humans."

"That's good" - murmured Netero, who was finally getting some good news.
