The gentle, sickly beauty is a cold and aloof general.

The unexpected turn of events dampened the joy of victory.

Hevalius helped Atal up and hurriedly took the unconscious Atal to the hospital.

Dr. Misetti quickly gave Atal a full examination.

After the test results came out, the insects present looked at each other, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Hevalius stayed by Atal's side the whole time, guarding him closely.

Jun Ming is gone; no one knows where he was taken by that rift that appeared and disappeared so suddenly.

Sai Xuya has issued a widespread search warrant, along with detailed information about Jun Ming, and a substantial reward will be given to anyone with clues.

The king is dead, and the S-class male insects in the secret research institute have also disappeared along with Jun Ming.

The order on the main star has fallen into chaos.

Sai Xuya was extremely busy and overwhelmed, preparing to establish a new order, and everything needed to start from scratch.

Atar slept for a whole day, only slowly waking up the next morning.

When Atal woke up, Thorn had just arrived at the ward and brought Hevalius breakfast.

"Hmm..."

Atal slowly opened his eyes. He was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling and could clearly smell the distinctive scent of a hospital.

Upon hearing Atal's voice, Hevalius hurriedly stood by the bedside.

"Atar, you're awake."

Jisha immediately went and summoned Dr. Misetti.

Hevalius helped Atal sit up and straightened the backrest so that Atal could lean back more comfortably.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Atal rubbed his head, which was still a little dazed from being asleep, and shook his head.

"I'm fine now."

Dr. Misetti and Jyscha pushed open the door and walked in.

"Dr. Misetti, what's wrong with me?"

"Why did you suddenly faint?"

Dr. Misetti, with a serious expression, examined Atal carefully again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Atal was indeed fine.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that she's carrying a worm egg."

Atar's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.

He then recalled the fight before he lost consciousness and the king's mental threat, and his face immediately turned pale.

"My... little bug, is he alright?"

Dr. Misetti shook his head.

"fine."

"Yesterday, you were impacted by the spiritual power of an S-class male insect that did not belong to your master. In addition, the insect egg is still small, so there was some turmoil."

"It's all right now."

"Your insect egg is healthy; it's very resilient."

Atar breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his insect eggs were alright.

"only......"

Dr. Micette suddenly frowned, looking somewhat hesitant to speak.

"Before laying the eggs, you need your male's spiritual power and pheromones to soothe you."

Dr. Micette naturally already knew what had happened yesterday.

Moreover, just based on the fact that Jun Ming, who usually takes Atal so seriously, did not appear when Atal was unconscious, Dr. Misedie could roughly guess that something must have happened to Jun Ming.

"You know, without the male father's spiritual power, insect eggs have a hard time growing up safely."

Atal reached out and placed his hand on his lower abdomen.

"I possess the spiritual power and pheromones of a male lord."

Atal stared blankly at the ring on his hand.

In fact, unnoticed by Hercules and Dr. Misede, Junming's spiritual power seeped out from the ring and bracelet and was tightly wrapped around Atal's wrist.

"I have insect eggs now, can I still go to the battlefield?"

Atal was lost in thought for a long time before suddenly looking up and asking.

Dr. Misetti gave an affirmative answer.

"Can."

"We female insects are very strong, and your eggs are of high quality. As long as you are no longer under the pressure of the S-class male insect's mental power, there will be no problem."

Atal nodded knowingly.

"Alright, once you wake up, there shouldn't be any major problems. You can be discharged."

After Dr. Miserie finished speaking, feeling that there was nothing more to say, he left.

Atal got out of bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Hevalius.

"How is the situation?"

Hevalius then explained the current situation to Atal.

"Those S-class male insects in the secret research institute disappeared yesterday along with Lord Junming. The king is dead."

"Judging from the current situation, the core male insects of the 'Heavenly Gift Project,' led by the King, are either dead or missing."

"The female insects who support them, although they have the intention to resist, are all firmly under our control and cannot make any waves."

"In 'Project God-given,' the male insects who were implanted with 'thought imprints' became somewhat confused after the king's death because they had no one to serve."

"But overall, the situation is under control."

Atar lowered his eyes upon hearing this.

He should have been happy that the resistance had succeeded.

However, the thought of his lord's whereabouts and safety filled Atar with anxiety.

"...Oh, right."

Atal suddenly thought of something.

"Who's in charge now?"

Hevalius was somewhat puzzled by Atal's question.

"Who else could it be but Sai Xuya, so stingy?"

Atal asked, somewhat incredulously:

"Does he still believe in the supremacy of female insects and attempt to establish a female insect empire?"

Atal's concerns are not unfounded.

If the insect currently in charge of rebuilding all order is Saixu Yalin, and he still wants to establish his female insect empire, regarding male insects as tools to help female insects survive.

Then the Zerg will only go from one extreme to another.

They still haven't escaped suffering.

"no."

Hevalius smiled reassuringly, telling Atal to relax.

"I initially thought that after the rebels occupied the main star, Cyrus would begin to build his 'female insect empire'."

"But he didn't."

"And what he's doing now seems to be trying to find a balance in the relationship between male and female insects."

"It's not that radical, nor is it that absolute."

"It seems that a large part of the reason is because of Yixuan."

Atal breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Hevalius's words.

The relentless pursuit of supreme power by a particular group will only bring disaster.

It seems that Yixuan changed Saixuya's mind.

"but......"

Hevalius looked troubled.

"If there is no solution to the God-given virus and the male insects continue to be scarce, we still have no future."

Atal was naturally aware of this as well.

Let's take it one step at a time.

"The secret research institute is still there, and the research data is complete. There might be a breakthrough."
