Chimera Ants

Nobody said anything.

Nobody did anything.

The nest was filled with dead silence and a sense of dread could be felt in the air as internally the ants were fighting their instincts.

Their loyalty to their queen and future king, or the being before them thats mere presence made them want to submit to his will along with their fight or flight instincts kicking in.

'Clatter chatter click click click' the queen was moving her mandibles as if she was saying something but I couldn't understand what she was saying or if she was talking a different way I wasn't connected to that.

The Chimera Ants look nervous with the only ones excluding the queen being able to be up on one knee were the squadron leaders.

Though one was able to look at me, but with both fear and determination in his eyes the humanoid bird ant spoke.

"She's asking what deal you speak of High Born King?" The bird man, Colt, said while being the interpreter between us.

"High Born King?" This was a new name to be called by another species as a whole, "Explain Ant Queen, I don't originate from the Dark Continent so I have no clue what that means." I said as I turned to look at the slightly shaking Ant Queen.

Hearing that I could see the visible shock that I didn't need an interpreter to see for myself as she shook her head and clicked her mandibles.

"That's impossible! High Born Kings stand at the absolute top of the food chain in the Dark Continent! They stand on top because any other race on the Dark Continent angers them the entire race pays the consequence and is subsequently wiped out in its entirety, if your words are true than this new continent was able to create one then…." But as Colt is finishing what he is saying he and all the other Chimera Ants turn to the Queen in shock.

Because they see there Queen, who had been released from the pressure like the remaining Chimera Ants to be able to stand again, fall to her knees and prostrate herself before me as she lays her clawed hands upwards with her head pressing the floor.

"…." Colt was clearly shocked by what she was saying and was looking between his Queen and the High Born King nervously.

I then looked directly at Colt, "Well? What is she saying, I know she is most likely begging me for something but I need to know what, and be quick because I don't like being kept waiting." I was clearly enjoying this but I was keeping my face in a neutral state.

"She…. She's begging you not to destroy her nest or her children…. And she will listen to any demands of yours as a result…." Colt says with difficulty as he and the rest never expected their Queen to cower and Beg for her and her children's lives from another.

'Is he much, much stronger than what the King will become? If so then we all either live or die if he commands it….' Colt thought to himself.

Fear, anger, respect and interest can be seen on all of the faces of the Chimera ants as they stared at this High Born King, but not just him the cloaked kingly skeleton also terrified them as even if he wasn't releasing any pressure they felt that both of them are in a different League of their own not knowing that the skeleton is an even greater threat of the two.

"Well then she and the rest of you have nothing to fear as I have no interest in destroying this nest, all I ask is you keep doing what you do best-"

*BWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM*

….

…

..

.

*BWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM*

"-and by that I mean killing any and all humans you come across, I don't care what you do to them after they die just that any and all humans should be killed with extreme prejudice." I just grin at all of them.

But before they could say anything-

*Crack Crack Crack*

The one of the eggs on the ceiling begins to crack before finally falling and landing on the ground into a heap of human clothes used as both a cushion for the fall and where one can get clothes if need be.

'Rumble rumble rumble'

A rather potent and menacing aura was em emanating from the just now hatched Chimera Ant, More so than all of the others had ever felt, but even with this more powerful ally on their side it doesn't change anything as the scales were still tipped in their favor.

After rustling around for a bit the ant that had just hatched out of their egg leaps into the air as they spin forward before trying to launch a flying Axe kick to my skull.

"!!!!" This greatly freaks out the ants and the queen, but before they could react the kick hits not their target but the floor beside them as I had side stepped their attack.

"That's rather rude way of introducing yourself, don't you think?!" I say before rapidly spinning my body quickly landing a roundhouse kick to their stomach and sending them flying into the wall, cratering it before popping out and holding their hand over their gut as the dust settles and I get a good look at them, or should I say her.

She is a humanoid cat with wavy white hair with cat-like ears and tail were covered with yellow and white fur, respectively with ruby-red eyes, and her knees had demarcated joints like insect legs.

Her hands were slightly larger than an average human hand, her clothes of choice were a blue overcoat with six yellow buttons and cuff links, shorts and orange socks with thin black stripes, and a pair of blue shoes.

She looks at me and spits out some blood from her mouth before wiping it and grinning at me, "Your really strong, so strong that I had to wake up just because you were releasing such a strong aura! I really want to see everything you got!" The cat-girl chimera ant said clearly intending to have a fight much to the horror of the rest of the Chimera Ants.

"Well I should point out I'm not an enemy of the nest, we can fight sure but if your looking for a death match then you'll be disappointed." Unless I really have to I don't plan on kill any Chimera Ants, right now, but later on will depend on if I care or not to keep any of them alive and out of all of them only three, excluding the future King, and the other 2 royal guards who I could care less about, do I find interesting to not kill if I don't have to, but that can change later on as well.

"Awww, your not? Well that's a shame, I was really hoping for an exciting fight to the death, but it seems I shouldn't do that…. Oh I guess that's my name huh? Well you can call me Neferupitou or just Pitou for short." She says as she smiles mischievously like a cat as she introduces herself to me.

"Dio, your Queen calls me a High Born King, but I think will get along just fine." I say with a smirk not realizing Ainz's glowing red eyes staring at my back.

'Why did he do that?' Ainz thought to himself as he thinks about what happened earlier.

What no one realized or payed attention to was Pitou's egg, unlike th other two which are green, hers was blood red in color and only him and Dio know what happened in stopped time.

'…. Dio has his own plans and so do I, so long as we get this mission done I don't care what he does to this world or it's people.'
