Chapter 250 (2/2)
Bon Load is a giant lump of nutrients.
Like a plant, he gets energy from sunlight and from planting himself into the ground.
Because of this, there was little burden on Evil Queen even after giving birth to seven children.
“Give me more strength.”
Evil Queen didn’t come to have children.
She is trying to bring Bon Load out into the world through herself as a medium. He isn’t a parasitic type, but he is an unborn mutant so he could if he had a medium that could play a housing role.
“The world is becoming strange. There’s no meaning if we don’t get stronger.”
Mutants and Lifers alike, there are enemies everywhere.
Before this happened, when law and order were destroyed as the world fell into pandemonium, the weak died no matter what. Strength was the only justice.
“Shall we try sleeping? The kids are watching the area nearby.”
It will take a long time to get Bon Load out. It wouldn’t be short to humans, but for Evil Queen to whom sleeping itself is meaningless, it is just a moment.
The only two things she needs to handle are boredom and risks nearby.
The three brothers born through her mating with Bon Load are guarding the vicinity. There is a pretty large distribution of mutants as well, so there’s no need to worry.
They can rest because finding the location is a problem and she has left several devices in place.
Evil Queen’s breathing becomes constant.
That is how the world came to face a catastrophe without knowing it. The first start began in Africa.
***
Living things have feelings. Whether the subject is superior or not.
How would it be if the same routine was repeated every day?
It would be boring.
A human would be able to express that boredom, but a bug cannot express it even if it feels that boredom.
But their abilities to feel boredom are the same.
Why?
Because they are living beings.
This is Africa’s Libya.
It has been several years since White Queen and Cruel King took their subordinate mutants and engaged in a total war in which they risked their lives.
White Queen did what she needed to do, took the seriously injured Titan and Medusa to Europe, and a few stayed behind in Africa.
Red Eye, Inferno, Blood Lord, and Beholder are the members left.
To stabilize the occupied territory?
No.
They aren’t staying for Africa, but because of the cocoon that hasn’t hatched for years.
They had thought that it would take a couple months at most. They didn’t know they would be waiting 10 times that.
They are about to ascend into boredom. The subordinates did nothing but hang out lazily, but the four of them took turns standing guard over the cocoon.
There was nothing they could do.
The cocoon was strong at first, but it was about enough to be able to take the four of them on if they combine their strength.
But as time went on, it surpassed that and had now reached the peak. They can’t help but be nervous.
Beholder, who can calculate its strength, said a few days ago,
‘If that wakes up and has other thoughts, everyone needs to run away.’
What could that mean?
It means they can’t win. The four of them are a pretty good mix.
Though it would have been better if Blood Lord had left and Medusa had come in.
They can’t communicate with him because he leans more toward his instincts than reason. He is stubborn. When it is his turn to watch the cocoon, he pushes that duty onto subordinate mutants and goes around Africa to play.
Red Eye is also a mutant with personality, but he faithfully completed his duty because he can be reasoned with.
The showy gold cocoon swelled and shrank repeatedly over several years, and has settled into a fixed size for some time now. The color is also getting more concentrated, so it looks like it will give off light. And the outer coat has become taught like a balloon, so it looks like it will hatch at any time.
‘Stay alert. It’ll hatch within a few weeks. Be ready to run away since we don’t know what will happen.’
Beholder used his telepathic abilities to estimate when the cocoon would hatch. It isn’t exact, but he said the margin of error would be give or take about a week.
It isn’t a joke when he tells them to run away.
They don’t know if it will be Cruel King or Parasite King, but the energy coming from it feels pure and clean.
That’s how Beholder reads it.
It is more accurate to say that he read the energy.
Being pure isn’t just good.
It is ambiguous. It is like a baby.
It can be influenced to anything. As they waited in worry and expectation, the hatching period approached.
