"I never intended for us to operate in secrecy," Loki stated, his tone unwavering.
Not only Ging, but Morel, Knov, Razor, Pakunoda, and the others all turned to look at Loki with curious, questioning expressions.
A direct assault, rather than a stealth operation?
Without waiting for Ging to question him, Loki continued, If we were truly aiming for secrecy, forcing the scattered squad leaders back to the King would be counterproductive.
Chira Ant squad leaders are formidable.
Loki adjusted his cloak. "Their return to the King’s side would make the Chira Ants far more difficult to handle for our small team."
Morel had harbored this sa question when Loki first proposed gathering the Chira Ants, but he hadn’t voiced his concerns.
Of everyone present, only Ging felt comfortable engaging Loki in direct conversation.
Aside from Pakunoda and Baise, no one else dared to speak to Loki; the pressure was simply too imnse.
Ging, regaining his composure, understood. He wasn’t concerned about ordinary ants, but Morel, Razor, and the others were.
Even defeating them would require considerable effort.
The scattered Chira Ant squad leaders, troop commanders, and ordinary soldiers returning to the King’s side was certainly not ideal.
"Then why—" Ging began.
"I have a way to lure them back to the King without them taking action," Loki interrupted, a smirk playing on his lips.
These Chira Ants, infused with human genes, and especially the squad leaders, are unlikely to be truly loyal to the King.
My analysis is this: when faced with danger, their first priority won’t be the King’s safety, but their own survival. They’ll only assist the King when it benefits them.
When faced with a direct threat, they won’t choose loyalty to the King.
Loki was referencing the Chira Ant squad leaders in the original storyline.
While not human in form, their fusion with human genes had fundantally altered their thinking.
"By launching a surprise attack on the King’s palace, the Chira Ant squad leaders won’t act rashly. They’ll know our target is the King."
"I believe they’ll observe first, only acting when the King’s chances of victory are high."
Ging was taken aback by Loki’s perspective on the Chira Ants.
Their views were entirely different.
While they considered the intelligence of so Chira Ants, they didn’t view them as Loki did—as humans, using human logic to predict their actions.
This analysis, while insightful, left Morel and the others both impressed and apprehensive.
If the Chira Ants didn’t act as Loki predicted, they would face a vastly larger enemy force.
The three Royal Guards alone were a formidable challenge; adding nurous squad leaders would exponentially increase the difficulty.
Ging, considering Loki’s words, realized a crucial prerequisite: they needed to demonstrate a power that would instill fear in the Chira Ant squad leaders during the surprise attack on the palace—a power comparable to the King’s. Otherwise, the squad leaders wouldn’t remain passive.
Just as Ging was about to ask Loki about the surprise attack, Loki stood abruptly.
"We’re here."
Ging was taken aback.
Looking around, they had traveled a considerable distance.
They were surrounded by forest.
Morel and Knov also stood, gazing at the ground below Kurobina.
"This is..." Morel said, turning to Knov.
Knov nodded. They recognized the area; it wasn’t unfamiliar.
Loki turned, his white cloak billowing slightly. His aura had retracted.
Now they felt the full force of the wind at this altitude, even while stationary.
At high speed, the wind would be far more intense.
Loki’s aura was withstanding this wind resistance while maintaining Kurobina’s speed.
Multitasking to this extent... "monster" and "freak" were inadequate descriptions.
"What are you doing here?" Ging asked.
Loki leaped from Kurobina.
Everyone rushed to the edge, looking down.
"A Chira Ant nest?" Razor exclaid, seeing the nest for the first ti—its size was astonishing.
Knuckle frowned. "What’s he planning?"
Loki, suspended in mid-air, stopped, flas erupting from seemingly empty space, gathering on his arm.
He raised his fist. "One punch should be enough," he stated dismissively.
Loki raised his fist, flas dancing wildly along his arm.
A blinding flash of light erupted. He looked down.
"Fire Fist!!!"
A fiery vortex slamd into the nest below. In an instant, the nest was engulfed in flas, collapsing rapidly.
Loki lowered his fist, nodding with satisfaction.
Seeing Loki’s seemingly random attack on the abandoned nest, Ging sighed.
"Loki, you may not say it, but your anger towards the Chira Ants is terrifying."
The others, still puzzled, nodded in agreent.
"The Chairman’s death... that boy must be heartbroken," Knuckle murmured, turning away. Shoot patted his shoulder.
"Don’t touch , Shoot. I’m not touched," Knuckle retorted.
Razor shook his head.
Pakunoda glanced at Baise.
Only they knew Loki’s actions weren’t driven by grief or anger.
They knew Loki didn’t act on emotion. Even if grieving Netero, he wouldn’t randomly destroy a nest.
He had another reason.
As they suspected, after destroying the nest, a system notification appeared:
Ding! Nest destruction mission complete.
Reward: One S-rank summoning chance! Summoning... Congratulations! You have obtained a special item!
Loki hadn’t expected a reward, but he’d completed the mission anyway.
A healing item would have been nice. But what was this special item?
An S-rank summon could yield special items?
Before Loki could celebrate, his system storage expanded.
It wasn’t one item; it was many.
