The Kreuki Queen

(General POV)

Location the Feralworld-Auhtt, Nameless Jungle, Kreuki Hive

The battle was raging and it clear which side was winning...

L'litha was the most emotional and overjoyed of the succubi of her warband, since basically they were the only "sentient" beings in the Ambrossian Shroud.

The rest of her daemonic warband were mindless monsters born from litteral Carnage corruption caused by her delicious brews, and now she'll gain not only endless supply of Kreuki Honey aka Mad Nectar, the little Brew Mistress will gain the kreuki themselves as daemonic beasts of her warband.

She laughed and unconsciously praised her dark masters for this carnage, slaughter, and Chaos she was able to enjoy and cause, as L'litha decided to put the final nail in the coffins of the kreuki, by ordering an all out attack!!!!

This made her sisters cheer as the succubi, and allure stingers being the fastest in her forces swarmed forward, and the kreuki backed off to defend their hive.

L'litha decided to remain in the air as her forces completely surrounded the humongous hive.

She believed she has finally won when the uncorrupted kreuki stopped trying to kill her advancing forces, instead they all flew up to the top of the hive, buzzing and flying all over it erratically.

When the hive started to shake, and a loud shrieking sound was blasting from inside the hive as well, then a massive purple colored insect leg burst out the side of the hive the said leg was tip with a massive pink punch colored, sharp, curved sickle that upon ripping through the hive it swung at the Allure Stingers.

The giant sickle flew straight at the succubi mounted on kreuki (allure stingers) with such speed that the she-daemons didn't have time to properly react.

As s result, a lot of allure stingers both riders and mounts were slash in half.

Before the daemonic blood could even reach the jungle below, these daemons faded away back into the Warp, seeing this enraged L'litha as she lost a chunk of her new calvary force in one stroke, focusing on the Kreuki Hive as it was clear what was coming, the Queen as another sickled leg burst out the other side of the hive both legs then drop piercing the lower sides of the hive.

The queen was pushing her humongous form through the top of the hive, using her largest legs as support for this action as the top of the hive was reshaping like a huge bulge was forcing it way through the insect structure.

The queen then ripped through some of the hive structure allowing some of her other limbs to come out, each of the four new limbs were shorter than the sickle legs, but the same tone as the sickle resembling razor-sharp barbed spears as they stab into the sides of the hive, these limbs showed that their using great strain and force as she was further breaking through the hive.

Knowing that this was the only chance for her and her warband to have an advantage in a direct fight with the queen, so while flapping her wing in a way to balance her precious massive gord on her back, L'litha ordered the remaining Allure Stingers to attack the queen directly before she could escape her own hive.

Obeying her command, the succubi riders tap the head of their daemonic bee mount and flew at the top of the hive, aiming to attack the Queen.

As they quickly got closer to their target, they attacked from range as some threw their ring blades at the Queen's legs, while other lashed at her with their barbed whips.

But before either type of attacks could even come close to harming the queen the kreuki swarming over the hive, swooped down using themselves as meat shield dying in the process of protecting their queen.

The still alive kreuki then started swarming in a circle around the hive to protect their queen as she kept escaping further from her hive.

The Brew Mistress saw this and immediately withdrew her forces less she lose more of them in general, it was clear that she couldn't attack and if she tried her usual ranged attack the kreuki will still shield the queen, and toss aside the poisoned kreuki aside meaning it was useless for to attack at the moment.

This made the Brew Mistress angry and frustrated, grinding her teeth together as she watched from above as the xeno bee-queen was coming...

While this happened the Dark Gods watched with anticipation of what was about to unfold, but the Dark One was eager as he was so close to his ascension he needed his little succubus herald to cause a bit more carnage for him to rank up.

So the Dark One decided to make things even more interesting, he used his Infernal Divinity to enhance the power of L'litha a bit more making her a slightly stronger than other high-daemons in his domain.

Immediately L'litha felt something surging through her body, she felt stronger and excited this power was exhilarating to her as she spread her arms and large wings wide unleashing some her daemonic power, before she send her sashes to grabbed flasks of Mad Brew if this insect queen wanted a battle, the Brew Mistress will happily serve her one.

When at that moment the Kreuki Queen finally made her presentation.

Destroying the upper part of the hive, completely showing herself it was clearly the queen, not only was she five times the size of an average kreuki, aside from her larger sickle frontal legs, her more round shape, fur on her abdomen, more sets of wings she was a more giant version of kreuki in color and shape.

The queen was covered in honey and after letting out a very loud shrieking she buzzed her wings slowly lifting herself from the hive's surface as her subjects swarm around the slowly ascending queen as her massive, long frontal legs hanged far from her main body.

It was clear that the queen was furious as she let out another shriek that made the kreuki swarm forward, making it clear that the Kreuki Queen has order her hive to attack L'litha and her warband, which the Brew Mistress responded in kind ordering her forces to attack as she flew straight at the advancing queen herself with her own allure stingers flying closely behind her.

They clashed which brought great joy and amusement to not only Laharl but also Khorne and their respected wives as this simple battle became an intense war.

L'litha and her Allure Stingers fought against the Kreuki Queen and most of her swarm directly in the air, L'litha taking a more aggressive role this time.

Using her sashes to immobilize her target so her calvary can finish, or she personally deals with the xenos by pulling them close to brutally stab, slash, or dump her brew on them all while having a wicket grin on her face.

The Ambrossian Shroud on the ground fought against the other half of Kreuki Swarm, both side taking out their enemies, but L'litha planned for this once her warband was locked in close combat with the swarm she released her Mad Brew over all her ground forces.

Triggering absolute aggression on her forces, attacking relentless at the kreuki ignoring all pain and only listening to the bloodlust they all were feeling, quickly dwindling the enemy's numbers.

But that wasn't the end of her plan, she commanded half of her Allure Stingers to come to her sisters to take as much Luster A. Cocktail they can carry and dump it on the ground forces not only healing them, but completely poisoning or corrupting the kreuki, further turning the tide into the favor of the Ambrossian Shroud.

While L'litha plot and fought, the Queen swung her sickle at the Brew Mistress but she being a smaller and slightly empower daemon she was barely able to dodge the Queen's attacks at it was clear that the xeno bee-queen perceived L'litha as a clear threat.

This actually amused L'litha as she struck back throwing a couple brew filled jars at her opponent but just like before when L'litha tried to attack before she could escape her hive, the swarm protect their queen as meat shield which irated the succubus herald, that she scream in frustration.

That's when a drone tried sneak up on her, she then stretched her sashes at the bug wrapping up the kreuki, pulling it straight at her L'litha lovely face only showed anger and annoyance.

She pulled out her serrated knife and started stabbing the kreuki in the abdomen, making the creature squirm in pain, and struggle to escape its bindings as L'litha stopped stabbing and thought of something very wicket plan.

Pulling another flask of Luster Ambrossia Cocktail she forcibly put it inside the hole she made with her stabbing causing the flask to break and dump all its contents inside of the kreuki.

The effects were almost instantaneous as it was clear this kreuki won't be able to survive the brew mutations, just as L'litha wanted as she threw the all but dead kreuki at the queen basically making a makeshift bio-bomb.

When the swarm came again to protect their queen all they got was a kreuki that upon hitting another exploded in a gorey matter, spraying all its inners and contaminated blood with brew all over the other kreuki, just as L'litha planned it.

These caused complete panic amongst the swarm, which in turn cause more of them to get infected by the Brew Mistress little concoction.

The swarm was either killed or fell to the Brew Mistress' control, sensing the disturbance that occurred on her swarm, the Queen swung her sickles killing many of the infected and corrupted.

This enraged the Kreuki Queen as she flew straight after L'litha swinging her giant sickle limbs at the Brew Mistress, but L'litha being smaller and more agile dodge her enemy's attacks with ease.

But seeing that it was moment for her to strike without meat shields standing in the way, L'litha flew straight at the queen barely dodging at the attacks sent at her.

As the Brew Mistress dodged parts of the brew inside her massive gord would spill, dropping down onto the ground causing anything that was covered by the Ambrossia brew to mutate and corrupt.

Ranging from plantlife to kreuki, all fell victim to the Mad Brew cocktail still inside her gord, this enraged L'litha spilling and wasting her precious brew on something that she didn't want to use on was a complete insult to the little succubus.

As she double her effort to reach her target the queen and either kill...or make it her's along with everything that once was of the kreuki.

Getting closer and closer to the giant alien bee-queen, she got close enough to make the Kreuki Queen's attacks useless against her.

L'litha smiled when she heard that insect monarch shriek again summoning all her drones, sentries and others kreuki to her, all around the battlefield the kreuki stopped attacking the Ambrossian Shroud and flew towards their queen to protect her.

But it was too late, L'litha already managed to get onto the back of the queen.

Just when she was about to begin her plan the kreuki swarm around her, wanting to attack her but not risk harming their queen, as L'litha wasn't going to allow this opportunity to go to waste.

She summoned her Allure Stingers to attack the swarm as to distract them as she went to work, using her sashes to bound her gord to the back of the queen, she flew down onto the back of the queen that struggle to shake her off, shrieking like crazy as the kreuki swoop down at the Brew Mistress, only for her sisters on their kreuki mounts to strike away the annoyances from L'litha.

L'litha started stabbing at the back at the Kreuki Queen, causing the creature great pain as she struggle more to make the Brew Mistress fall off from her but it was futile the most she struggled against L'litha the more she wanted to make the monarch suffer, as L'litha continued to stab and expand the hole she was making.

She was enjoying this as she stabbed deeply into the queen one last time finally penetrating deep into the inner-systems of the bee-queen and she spoke to the Kreuki Queen, "Your highness...I hope your quite thirsty. Because the Brew Mistress has a special brew, to quench your thirst, heeheeheheha!" commanding her sashes to rise her gord and dump the Ambrossia inside the hole she made...

As the brew pour into the body of Kreuki Queen, immediately having an affect on the giant insect which also in turn caused all the kreuki to be effected by their Queen's agony falling down to the ground, completely stunned unable to move just like a hive losing their queen, the only one unaffected were the Carnage corrupted kreuki belonging to the Ambrossian Shroud.

It was clear that queen couldn't handle the L'litha's brew now coursing and mutating her body so she fell hitting the ground hard, L'litha sighed hopping of turning the queen into her own personal giant mount, but she couldn't do anything since the queen was too weak to survive her concoction.

As she recalled her sashes and bound her gord back onto her back, she was about to command her warband to start harvesting everything inside the bee-hive, when the withering and dying kreuki queen started shrieking again, forcing itself to stand as it thrashed around as it was mutating...

Location the Nethervoid-Castle Neo Oblivion/The Throne Room

Everyone was cheering and enjoying themselves as their little succubus herald has won.

As Laharl said should she win he'll turn the kreuki queen into L'litha's special personal mount, and as a God of his word and the literal God of Promises he used his power along with a few thousand souls to start the mutation/daemonicfication of the alien insect.

Having a new daemon beast in his roster Laharl was about to contact his cute little assistant Allia to register them into the Nethervoid and begin producing them as he'll later create a hive for them to spawn faster later, when Aillia spoke.

She as usual was do excited and hyper that Laharl couldn't understand her so he told her to calm down, then speak.

Aillia did as she was told, (Right!!!! My Lord. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You've have reach the next level of ascension.) this was a welcomed and a very awaited surprise.

After thanking Aillia for informing him of this, and also telling her to register the new addition to his rank the Kreuki or Death Stingers, along with the mount succubus version the Allure Stingers into his force and start spawning Death Stingers until he made a proper spawning area exclusively for them, she responded with a cheery, going silent, after saying that.

Laharl quickly informed his wife than very, very soon he'll go through another ascension and to protect them he'll leave the castle for a while.

Saying this made all seven of them worried having either experienced or know of his last ascension and the agony their beloved was under during the ascension process really let it's impression on them, Laharl could feel their woes and personally went to each of them, to comfort and promised them it be alright as they nodded to him and he left the castle.

Location the Nethervoid-Outside the Castle Neo Oblivion/The Gate, Area between the Castle and the Infernal Black Jungle

The moment Laharl step outside he started to feel the surge of power...and pain, it was clear this ascension will be big and excruciating for him, he quickly left to go as far from the Castle and his wives he could for their protection not noticing his God Form statue on top of the castle was starting to change...
