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

Newly born female ants had always worked together to establish new colonies.

However, once the colony became stable, the female ants would inevitably begin fighting one another because two tigers could never share the same mountain.

The losing female ant were not driven away.

They were simply killed.

If it had possessed nothing but instinct, the female ant naturally would never have considered such things.

Now that it had gained intelligence, however, it also developed the desire to survive.

It clearly understood that it could not defeat this Queen who had not even released a trace of pheromones.

Because of that, it feared that even if it agreed to build a colony together, according to the rules of ant society, it would still eventually die.

But it did not want to die.

It did not mind becoming nothing more than a worker.

It did not even mind giving up the position of Queen.

As long as it remained alive, it could always find another place to lay eggs and build a brand new colony.

However, judging from the new Queen’s attitude, if it refused, it would be killed immediately.

This did not seem like much of a choice.

The female ant desperately racked its brain, trying to think of a solution.

Perhaps after it laid its eggs, it could immediately have its children carry it away and escape.

Ouch!

Just as it was thinking that, the other party apparently had already grown impatient.

A heavy wave of pressure descended upon the female ant.

Its antennae twitched.

Without wasting another second, it hurriedly released a wave of Mental Power and connected it to Joo Joowon’s.

Joo Joowon did not trust the female ant’s agreement that had been made only because it was forced into a corner.

He immediately opened the Follower interface under the Lord Quest menu.

An invisible force descended upon the female ant and issued an invitation.

The female ant: ?

What kind of strange thing wanted to build a nest with it? Get lost!

[ Ding! The target has rejected your follower invitation! ]

Joo Joowon smiled coldly.

Bang!

Pinned flat against the ground once again by the overwhelming pressure, the female ant slowly produced a question mark in its mind.

Had it not already agreed to the new Queen’s request?

Then why was this weak, pitiful and helpless female ant, which had not even begun laying eggs yet, still being attacked?

It was going to miscarry!

[ Ding! The target has rejected your follower invitation! ]

[ Ding! The target has rejected your follower invitation! ]

...

After several repeated attempts, Joo Joowon realized that the female ant had fainted.

Joo Joowon: "..."

He loosened the spider cocoon to let the female ant breathe some fresh air.

Only then did it suddenly occur to him.

Could this little thing have failed to realize that the invitation had come from him?

Surely not.

It had already mutated.

Its intelligence could not possibly be that low... right?

Joo Joowon took out a low grade Recovery Powder from his Space Waist Pendant and used it on the female ant.

Recovery Powder restored only a single point of Mental Power.

Its effect was far inferior to proper potions.

Joo Joowon himself rarely had any opportunity to use it, so he did not mind spending it.

For the female ant, however, restoring a single point of Mental Power was already enough to wake it up.

Its antennae trembled as it shakily released a wave of Mental Power.

To Joo Joowon’s surprise, he somehow managed to sense what felt like uncontrollable sobbing from an ant.

Pretending not to notice, he transmitted another message through his Mental Power.

This time, he explained things in much greater detail and specifically instructed the female ant not to reject the invitation when it appeared again.

The female ant was completely bewildered.

Huh?

What was this new Queen talking about?

What was a "voice"?

The female ant could not understand the information Joo Joowon was transmitting at all.

It was far too complicated.

It was the kind of thing that no matter how hard it tried to think, it simply could not figure out.

It stood frozen in place for quite a while before hesitantly twitching its antennae.

It was confused.

It was on the verge of breaking down.

It felt that this new Queen might as well stop tormenting it and simply kill it outright.

Sometimes, being an ant was really quite helpless.

Looking up at the enormous new Queen standing before it, the female ant simply lay down.

Joo Joowon: "..."

He hesitantly clicked Submit again.

[ Ding! The target has rejected your follower invitation! ]

Silence filled the air.

What the hell?

Was this thing actually an idiot?

Joo Joowon took a deep breath.

For a moment, he felt the same sense of despair he had experienced when he had first started raising cats and his kitten kept urinating everywhere.

The differences between individual animals were enormous.

Even cats and dogs, whose intelligence could rival that of a three to five year old child, could drive people completely insane.

Let alone an ant whose brain was only the size of a tiny speck.

He really should not expect too much from an ant, even if it possessed fairly high Mental Power and had already mutated.

Joo Joowon did his best to comfort himself and began a second attempt.

First, he sent the invitation.

Immediately afterward, he transmitted the concept of accept through his Mental Power.

The female ant was on the verge of collapsing as well.

Why wasn’t this Queen using pheromones?!

What kind of pheromones were so precious that she could not bear to release even a little?

Or was this new Queen defective?

Why had it been releasing pheromones for so long while the Queen still insisted on "speaking" through Mental Power?!

The female ant was about to lose its mind!

What was this Queen even saying?

Could the Queen please use the "official ant language" instead of speaking in some incomprehensible "language"?!

Joo Joowon mechanically repeated the same process over and over.

Submit the invitation.

Transmit the message.

Fail.

Submit again.
