Beneath the sturdy and beautiful Adrinal tree stood a massive wasp nest.


Atop that wasp nest, delicately placed like small, round droplets of water, was something quite special.

It was none other than Gloki.

Gloki stood confidently on the wasp nest, revealing its small, firm, and smooth body with pride.

In front of Gloki, dozens of giant wasps, appearing almost like an overwhelming army, were neatly arranged.

Their synchronized formation, without a single deviation, resembled a well-trained elite force.

And all the gazes of these wasps were directed towards Gloki.

Without any hint of impurity, their gazes were submissive and obedient.

“Left.”

As Gloki’s will spread, the wasps simultaneously took flight to the left.

Zoom!

“Right.”

Zoom!

“Ascend high.”

Zoom!

The wasps moved swiftly, their movements like a sharp blade, leaving no room for exceptions.

After directing the wasps a few more times, Gloki bounced energetically in place a couple of times.

“Satisfied.”

Gloki!

“Hehe.”

Gloki chuckled as it twinkled its translucent body. The sparkling body indicated a certain level of satisfaction.

“Giant wasps completely under control.”

They clearly recognized themselves as queen wasp.

“But there’s a problem. Even though Gloki assimilated the essence of the queen wasp, it’s still a slime. No reproductive abilities.”

Reproductive abilities were the privilege of the queen wasp. Without it, it was like having a red bean bun without the red bean filling.

Therefore, Gloki had to make a decision.

“Giant wasps need to undergo a transformation, mutate the species. Must modify the structure of the colony.”

However, there was a problem. To initiate a mutation, individual information was required, and it was sorely lacking.

There was only one way to obtain it.

War.

Having made the decision in its mind, Gloki immediately commanded the wasps.

After trembling once, Gloki’s translucent body emitted a thin and high-pitched sound that only a giant queen wasp could produce.

Eeeee!

“Search everything! Find other giant wasp nests! It’s war!”

Zoom!

In response to Gloki’s command, the giant wasps moved together.

***

[Entering the System: Giant Wasp Colony Faction.]

[You can now summon members of the Giant Wasp Colony Faction.]

[You are marked by the members of the Giant Wasp Colony Faction.]

Gloki’s actions were clearly making an impact on Taehyung.

“Gloki, you’ve already created your own Faction?”

[Faction Information]

Faction Name: Giant Wasp Colony

Faction Leader: Gloki

Location: Abyssal Chronicles Dimension, Northern Forest Zone

Members: Primordial Slime 1, Giant Wasp 304

Features: Giant Wasps commonly found throughout the Northern Forest Zone of the Abyssal Chronicles Dimension. They exhibit a unified command structure, with all wasps obedient to the control of the Queen Wasp.

– View Details (Y/N)

The information about the wasps was input into the system, allowing Taehyung to access their details.

However, unlike orcs, detailed information about each individual wasp did not appear. The wasps had no names; they were simply categorized as workers or soldiers. This lack of distinct individuality stemmed from the fact that each wasp did not possess a clear sense of self.

“Sorry, Gloki. I doubted you.”

Initially frustrated and unable to communicate properly, Taehyung expressed his dissatisfaction. However, that was not the case now.

Despite not providing any assistance to Gloki, unlike the numerous commands and help given to his other followers, Gloki was managing well on his own.

Considering Gloki’s intelligence and resourcefulness, it was no wonder he felt a sense of pride.

“Anyway, Giant Wasps…”

He immediately searched for information about Giant Wasps. Now that he had become a full member and upgraded to a hunter, he could access advanced information on HunterNet.

“Hehe. Being a hunter is really paying off.”

The existence of Giant Wasps was widely known to humanity, just like the various monsters scattered throughout the Abyssal Chronicles Dimension. There were summon-type hunters who could summon Giant Wasps.

Several reviews about them were available on HunterNet.

Giant Wasps were known for powerful body strikes based on their sturdy exoskeletons, and they could deliver a potent single blow with the stinger in their bodies.

They were primarily summoned by mid-tier hunters among summon-type hunters.

“Well, they don’t seem to be that strong.”

However, the terrifying aspect of Giant Wasps lay in their unique group behavior.

While individual wasps weren’t particularly powerful, when gathered in dozens or hundreds, they became formidable. Acting as if they were a single entity, they could sometimes produce unexpected results.

Nodding in agreement, Taehyung continued reading the reviews on HunterNet. One particular passage caught his attention.

“But, there’s a significant downside. If the Queen Wasp dies, the entire Giant Wasp army becomes incapacitated. And you know what? Those monsters strangely seem to know that. They’ll do anything to find and kill the Queen Wasp. Do you know how much of a headache that is?”

“Anyway, it’s not a summon you’ll use for long. Find a way to enhance the summon skill or get a different one. It’ll be better for your mental health.”

The reviews on the members-only section of the forum were helpful and vivid, providing valuable insights for Taehyung.

“People don’t seem to recommend this summon much.”

While there were reasons why many people criticized it, Taehyung trusted Gloki. The slime was intelligent, clever, and unique. It was the only slime in the world with four unique skills.

Gloki could absorb the abilities of others and modify the bodies of its followers using mutation and evolution skills.

Although Gloki hadn’t showcased its mutation and evolution skills yet, its demonstrated absorption and assimilation skills were already impressive.

It was evident that such a remarkable and unique creature would undergo a significant and rapid growth.

As usual, the peaceful Northern Forest Zone of the Reciprocity dimension was disrupted by the sudden appearance of a massive swarm of Giant Wasps.

Hundreds of wasps tangled and clashed in the air. The sound of Giant Wasps colliding echoed, and the wasps that received impacts fell to the ground. The thudding sound of giant wasps, each the size of a child’s head, hitting the ground resembled hail.

It was a war among Giant Wasps.

A bloody battle to protect the Queen Wasp!

Unfortunately, the defensive efforts of the wasps trying to protect their queen seemed destined to fail.

Boom!

Among the hundreds of entangled wasps, there was one wasp that stood alone.

On the plump body of that floating wasp, Gloki was perched.

[Situation: Chaotic. Possibility of stealing high.]

After a while, Gloki leaped high from the wasp’s body.

Gloki!

Thud!

It stuck to the body of an enemy wasp. Then, it entered the enemy wasp’s body.

The enemy wasp that Gloki entered shivered. Suddenly, it began to exhibit behaviors it hadn’t done before.

Having entered the hive where the Queen Wasp was, Gloki quickly reached the Queen Wasp’s chamber.

Upon seeing the Queen Wasp, Gloki emerged from the enemy wasp’s body and attempted to attach itself to another Queen Wasp’s body.

[Physical Control Complete]

[Gloki explores the components of the Giant Queen Wasp.]

[Gloki discovers the egg-laying ability of the Giant Queen Wasp from its components.]

[Gloki absorbs the discovered component.]

[Absorption Failure! The discovered component does not match with the body.]

[The discovered component is safely stored in Gloki’s internal storage.]

Gloki!

Gloki squealed. Then, satisfied, it hopped in place. Its body sparkled.

[Individual information still insufficient. No mutation or evolution possible. Need to absorb more elements.]

Gloki’s grand operation to collect individual information had just begun.

***

Amidst the war where the wasp led by Gloki splattered blood, the Afroxia dimension’s Blue Axe Orc tribe expanded its influence with fiery momentum.

Having already subjugated the Red Banner Orc tribe nearby,

Karim’s army was picking up the pace.

“Oh, Chief of the White Crow Tribe and our fellow brethren, surrender! Join the army of Karim, the great bloodline, and the High Orc!”

Karim mounted a giant silver wolf and stood before the other orc tribes, exuding confidence.

Unlike the Boiling Blood Tribe’s subdued reaction, the White Crow Tribe showed a significant response.

Information about Karim, leading the Blue Axe Tribe in the Kaizen Southern Forest region, had already spread among various orc tribes.

– A certain orc tribe breaking centuries-old rules and engaging in conquest!

– Not only did they defeat all nearby monsters, but they also subjugated neighboring tribes!

– Karim, the young chief of the orc tribe, is the bloodline of the High Orc reappearing after a thousand years!

– The silver wolf ridden by Karim is the proof! The Wolf’s Fury, a wolf summon only a High Orc can command!

– The great bloodline, High Orc Karim, dreams of uniting all orcs. Soon, Karim’s army will invade all orc tribes in the entire Southern Forest!

The atmosphere among the orcs, already tense, became even more electrifying with this astonishing news. However, the one responsible has now appeared.

“Oh, Chief of the White Crow Tribe. Boldly reveal yourself. Let the chiefs converse!”

Perched on the silver wolf, Karim repeated his words in a booming voice.

In response, the chief of the White Crow Tribe revealed himself from behind.

“You are Karim, the kin we’ve only heard rumors about.”

“That’s right. Do you, like the former chief of the Boiling Blood Tribe, Nargchur, doubt my identity?”

“No. I, Valf, chief of the White Crow Tribe, do not doubt your identity.”

Valf looked up and down at Karim and the silver wolf.

“I’m not as foolish as the former chief Nargchur. It’s obvious at a glance. Your Majesty is identical to the one described in history. The silver wolf you ride, too. How could I doubt your identity with such a majestic presence?”

As Valf scanned the surroundings, the White Crow Orcs nodded in unison.

“You are undoubtedly of great bloodline. I have no intention of resisting you. However, as the chief responsible for governing 300 tribe members, I cannot help but seriously contemplate this.”

“I respect the thoughts of the White Crow Chief.”

“So, I ask you. Can you show us, me and my tribe, a fiercely orcish battle? Do you have the confidence to showcase the ancient glory?”

“I do.”

A resolute answer with no hesitation.

“It’s a deal. Don’t worry. I promise with everything I have.”

“Good.”

Upon this, Valf smiled.

“I will surrender to you.”

He knelt.

“My lord.”

Orc Lord.

The glorious title allowed only for the supreme ruler who unified all orcs.

Valf dared to use that title and expressed his utmost reverence. The White Crow Orcs followed suit, kneeling and bowing their heads.

Simultaneously, a message appeared to Karim.

[Summoned creature Karim has completely subjugated the White Crow Orc tribe!]

[The White Crow Orc tribe has joined the Blue Axe Orc tribe under Karim’s leadership!]

[Summoned creature Karim has obtained the title “Defeater of the Loser in the Southernmost Region of the Kaizen Southern Forest!”]
