Super Gene Ascension Chapter 21 (Patreon)

The 'historic' information on how I became a Supergene warrior was going to remain... Fucking sealed for ALL eternity, thank you very fucking much!

There was... No other way to put it after all. I couldn't cut through the kaiju to get to her life essence core as a Super-tier creature, obviously.

And if I directly attacked the queen, I would be torn apart by literally hundreds if not thousands, of Sacred Blood-tier soldier ants that filled the colony and protected it.

That left only way for me to get the life essence core that acted a radiation bath to enhance her countless brood within her massive reproductive organs.

I had to... Crawl up in and get it.

The moment I cut it off and even as the queen lost her shit and began hissing in agony and spitting acid everywhere, and I crawled back out of my new 'mother' I was already mentally bleaching said memories of my terrible deed.

Even as I put the basketball-sized life essence core into a backpack which was sealed with an interior that was smothered in ashes and chemicals to hide it's smell from the other ants.

The queen slammed it's massive form into the ground with the entire colony seemingly shaking, with myself holding onto the ground.

While looking up at the weird concrete mix the ants made to line their colony with to keep it stable. I was just praying I didn't get smashed to death at this point.

Then more ants streamed in. More soldier ants especially streamed in powerfully in an endless tide of dark chitin-covered murder machines that ran over the queen to find the 'attacker'

But then... I grunted as a set of pincers softly grabbed me, and before I could react and resis, I was picked up. And brought out of the queen's chamber!

'Wait... These worker ants think I am just an ant larva with how I'm covered in the queen's fluids!' I realized all too quickly as I was pulled into what could only be a nursery, which had endless shelves filled with moss that acted as padding and what seemed like food for the larvae that were put on the multi-level shelves.

The worker ant took me up and to put me high up, like five stories up from the ground in an empty 'shelf' and I idly picked at the moss as I muttered helplessly.

"Well... That fucking happened?"

Still, I took a deep breath and as much as I wanted to try to attune myself to the life force within the Life Essence Core to absorb the super gene essence to get Super Geno points... Taking it out right now was fucking stupid.

So for a moment I just took a breath to recollect myself, as well as deal with the pain I had from getting my ass smacked around by giant ants as I snuck over to the queen.

And after fifteen minutes of channeling the Jade Skin Sutra to enhance my healing. I paused as the voice of the Sanctuary hit my mental ears and made me mentally stagger in shock.

[Calamity Ant Queen Killed! User has gained the Ant Sovereign Aura Beast Soul!]

And as for eating the Ant Queen for Super geno points... Sorry, that didn't exist. You could only get super geno points from the Super gene creatures Life Essence Core!

But an Aura Beast Soul. I had hit the fucking jackpot. I basically had my ticket to the best military college in the entire universe and the best benefits because of it!

A 'Aura' beast soul was by far the most popular and demanded beast soul in all of the Sanctuaries because not only did it strengthen the user, but all of their active beast souls... But also did the same for all their teammates in the general area as well!

And a Super-tier Aura Beast Soul, which would still be better than even a matching one from a Sacred Blood-tier monster in the Second Sanctuary?

As the Ant Queen Beast Soul gave a flat 'fifty percent strength bonus,' a two-hundred percent defense boost,' A regeneration bonus, and imbued all weapon beast souls with acidic damage.'

"And the most fucking broken part about Aura Beast souls... Is the fact that they hardly cost much energy to use them, hence their mind-boggling value as Geno warriors in the second sanctuary get access to supernatural energy beyond just bodily energy." I muttered.

I had made the right choice in coming here, even if it was stupidly dangerous.

Now there was just the mild issue of getting the fuck out of the colony as the ants were in a total rampage. And I had no idea how long the pheremones covering me would last.

But I couldn't stay here and just 'wait' for the ants to calm down, as who knows how long that would take.

And even more importantly... I really, really wanted a shower.

So with a hum of thought. I covered myself up in the nursery moss dust to pretend to be a worker ant again.

And I hitched a ride on a few worker ants that were heading towards the surface. Riding the wave of churning countless bodies that filled my dim vision, which was only lit up by the small headlamp I wore.

Until finally. I reached the surface, fresh air hit my face, and I swiftly broke away from the streams of giant ants to make my way back to the Black Steel Shelter with my legendary good in my backpack!
