Chapter 9: The Hive Awakens

Crow watched as his Royal Honey Bee began its work. With its Hive Expansion ability, it had already created a small nest of shimmering golden wax in a nearby tree.

Then, something incredible happened.

Ding!

[Hive Expansion Activated: 10 worker bees spawned.]

9 Rare-quality bees (Level 5)

1 Legendary-potential bee (Level 5)

---

Crow's eyes gleamed with interest.

Most of the newborn bees were rare-quality, which was already impressive. But one among them carried Legendary Potential—something even greater than Divine?

He focused his Eye of Insight on the unique bee.

Crow let out a low chuckle.

Interesting.

This bee wasn't just stronger—it had a skill that could enhance growth. That meant it could accelerate evolution for the entire hive.

With time, this tiny nest could become something far greater.

Turning to the Royal Honey Bee, he gave a single command.

"Expand. Grow stronger."

His Divine Nine-Tails Fox was already an absolute powerhouse, but this hive…

This hive had the potential to become a force of nature.

And Crow? He was going to make sure it happened.
