My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

Perhaps only after his Physique advanced beyond twenty, just as Mental Power had, would it become possible to acquire an ability like that.

After all, strictly speaking, the night was never truly devoid of light.

Creatures such as cats and dogs were able to capture those faint traces of illumination because of the structure of their eyes and could therefore see clearly in the darkness.

If the human body continued evolving, then perhaps one day it too would be capable of developing a similar ability.

While paying close attention to the movements around the ant nest, Joo Joowon also kept one eye on the developments surrounding the marketplace.

He was still waiting to collect the items from his transaction with BlessedByRNG, so there was no way he would miss the opening of the marketplace today.

He also wanted to ask HighlyCultured about the self created skill that had supposedly been developed by him.

There was no doubt that this kind of waiting was painfully dull.

Even so, Joo Joowon did not lower his guard simply because the ants had not yet noticed his existence.

He wanted to avoid exposing himself to the ant army because of a single moment of carelessness or negligence.

Fortunately, Byeol had always been dependable.

Even after crouching there with Joo Joowon for so long, it had not made a single sound.

Otherwise, no matter what, Joo Joowon would have chosen to leave in order to avoid ending up like the Chicken Chimera.

The truth was that Byeol had actually wanted to make a noise earlier.

It was only because Joo Joowon had already entered what Byeol recognized as "hunting mode" that it forced itself to endure in silence.

In Byeol’s eyes, Joo Joowon’s behavior of hiding quietly in the darkness was simply the prelude to a hunt, because that was exactly how cats hunted.

They hid silently in one place and then, when the prey let down its guard, suddenly leaped out and attacked.

One strike.

One kill.

What happened afterward, however, left Byeol completely stunned.

The countless ants were simply too terrifying.

They were nothing like the harmless little bugs it had once used as toys.

As for Hwi, it had never noticed the ant army at all, which naturally meant it had no chance of causing any trouble.

Hwi had already fallen asleep inside the backpack while Joo Joowon was carrying the Chicken Chimera over and had still not woken up.

There was nothing strange about that.

It had consumed far too much energy today and was genuinely exhausted.

After the battle ended, Joo Joowon had even allowed it to eat.

With a full stomach and complete satisfaction, drowsiness was only natural.

Earlier, because it feared danger might appear at any moment, Hwi had forced itself to stay awake.

Once it realized that Joo Joowon could handle the situation on his own, it finally relaxed enough to fall asleep.

After all, for a cat that naturally slept around twenty hours a day, managing to stay awake until now was already a tremendous sacrifice.

No one knew how much time had passed before the princes and princesses finally finished competing with one another.

Once the battle ended, the male flying ants also became part of the countless corpses scattered across the ground.

To the ant race, their existence had always been that of disposable consumables.

Once they completed the mission they were born for, their lives naturally came to an end as well.

Joo Joowon had originally assumed that the involvement of supernatural factors might change things somewhat.

Now, however, it seemed that rules related to the continuation of a species had not been broken.

Once the nuptial flight ended, the remaining princess ants would all become capable of laying eggs just like the queen ant.

As a species that only needed to mate once in order to produce offspring for the rest of their lives, they had no need to seek another mating opportunity.

The number of female flying ants was still enormous.

They flew through the sky in a dense black mass, their wings producing a constant buzzing sound that carried for an incredible distance and instinctively discouraged any living creature from approaching the area.

There were simply too many female flying ants.

Compared to their numbers, the crystallized heart was far too small a prize.

They were clearly aware of this problem themselves, and so they continued circling above the crystallized heart without making a move.

For the female flying ants that had already successfully mated, becoming queen ants in the future was already their destined path.

Because of this, although they desired the crystallized heart, they found it difficult to fight as recklessly as they had earlier.

Moreover, just like during the nuptial flights of the past, their natural predators had always taken advantage of these occasions to feast upon them.

In those situations, survival often depended on nothing more than being able to run faster than their sisters.

The current situation was clearly no different.

As long as the others fought first, someone else could simply wait patiently and become the final winner by taking advantage of the chaos.

The problem was that every surviving female ant seemed to be thinking exactly the same thing.

As a result, the entire situation became rather awkward.

Fortunately, this stalemate did not last for very long.

Before long, a wave of Mental Power spread outward from the ant nest.

The mental fluctuation was incredibly strange.

It lacked the terrifying sense of oppression that the Big Belly Boss had produced earlier.

This was not pressure.

Compared to pressure, it felt gentler. Yet at the same time, it felt far more majestic and dignified.

Warmth, tolerance, dignity.

The aura of a king blended together with the unique strength that belonged only to a woman, making it extremely easy to imagine the image of a wise, calm, and composed ruler.

Perhaps this was also because the Mental Power was not directed toward him personally.

Otherwise, Joo Joowon suspected the pressure he felt might have been even greater than what he experienced the first time he encountered the Big Belly Boss.
