She masterfully mixed the pollen while releasing many different enzimes, as pyisical steam started being released, a wave of mana pulsed outward, the mystical honey glowed with the might of the sun, before settling down.
The queen hurriedly transported the royal honey as she fed it to One, who began to shine as a layer of mana encompassed it, it was as if One was a larva again.
The queen eagerly looked on, something told her this was a major turning point for the hive.
--------------------
One felt off, where was the pain, had it been misplaced?
[Commencing Evolution]
One was discussed, who had the nerve to demand something from it, from the colony. This evolution, it did not need it, for it was certain that it no longer wanted the pain that it had experienced, but Ones mind still drifted to that battle, if it was stronger, would its family have survived the attack?!
One immediately steeled its will, would the queen have eurvived, if he was any weaker?!
One looked at the metaphysical panel, would it be able to protect the hive when another disaster came about?!
One institaniously felt his instinct to protect the hive turn into his purpose, he needed, no, he must protect the hive!
[Options for 1st evolution,
Gen 2 Warrior (Juvenile) Common
Gen 1 Warrior (Mature) Common
Gen 2 Worker (Juvenile) Common
Gen 1 Warrior (Juvenile) Mana core, Rare
]
One scanned the list of options, and found a few interesting ones,
[Gen 2 Warrior (Juvenile) Common
Gen 1 Warrior Mature) Common
Gen 1 Warrior (Juvenile) Mana Core, Rare]
One didnt know exactly what the last option was, but the manager core sounded interesting. More importantly was the desicion between Gen 1, or Gen 2.
The mature Gen 1 would give One an immediate boost of power. But it also sucessfully limited other evolution options, While Gen 2 had a better growth rate, but was not as strong as an initial Gen 1 mature warrior.
One decided, only the best of the best could defend the hive.
Ding! Option Chosen...
---------------------
"oof!"
Gray gasped for air, his shoulder like a mangled piece of flesh, he dragged his sorry looking body to the apothecary, who looked just as shocked as him.
"What did this to you?!"
Diana the apothecary worker gasped in shock, Grays sorrowful state was intimidating, since gray, as a C ranked adventurer, should not have been injured this much.
"A-my beserk skill."
Gray coughed, who gets beaten up by a bee. And a damn first strata one at that!
"Tell me the truth, I know you don't get your skin shredded like paper from a skill like that."
Gray looked away from Diana, not wanting to be the first C rank to get beeten up. He still faltered.
"A-a bee"
Gray almost whispered the last part, and Diana immediately started laughing.
"Hahahaha, beaten up by a bee, do you have no shame! Ha-"
Diana collapsed on the floor from the pain, until she sparked the question,
"What happened to your girlfriend Fiona?"
Still chuckling at the thought of gray being beaten up, gray responded.
"Dead,'
That shut Diana up, who started wrapping his wounds with bandages, and applied ointment, without a pip.
"Your done, you can leave now."
Gray got up and left, before Diana went through the back door before going through a series of alleyways, before stumbling upon a small door, she knocked on it.
"What is it that you seek."
A scruff voice appeared on the other end, sounding old but filled with power, as if it commanded the sky.
A gust of wind brought a downpour of rain throuought the city, the crackling of lightning filled the night.
"An extermination'
Crackle!
--------------------
A large downpour entered the dungeon, waves of water crashing against the hive, unfortunately, the waves would never be able to penetrate the newly compacted hive, the large columbs make from wax-stone supported the hive in ways even the builders didn't expect.
As the level shook from the shenanigans of the above, a pair of eyes awoke, the queen looked on happily, as her child awoke. The first natural born Gen 2.

Sacrificing the pollen and honey related skills were a smaet move, since the workers of the hive were much better and more adapted to it.
The queen looked on as the small creature gazed at the new scene, as rested near a mana light, from its smaller, more compact body, to its more efficient wings, to even its instincts, Gen 2 was a large improvement from Gen 1, everything meshed, instead of a jumble of pieces they made a nice picture.
The queen made sure to advance their intellect, because she obviously didn't include system instincts within Gen 1, It was a miracle One was even able to mutate.
The queen stared at the large glowing cocoon that one was in, the new Gen 2 also took interest in it, poking it with one of its legs, before basking in its light, the small creature seemed comforted by this light, unlike the pulsating mana vein on the stone.
The queen looked on, as more and more hatched from their larva state, tens, hundreds.
The cocoon shone a bit brighter at that moment, signifying its unyielding will for the hive.
As the blinding white light enveloped the hatchery, the new generation basked in its power, some even grew a little.
As the young hatched one by one a large sound became present, growing larger and larger, drawing away the fear and empowering the hive.
It was clear, a legend had been born,
Bzzz
