It is true that many Symbiote animals Ramiels sent out to map the Antlion ness were killed, except for a family of a pygmy mouse, but this sacrifice was admirable considering the fact that they were able to send out all the necessary information, and Ramiel made sure that the entire force was ready to fight on a dime if necessary. Beta was the only being who can understand all of the different race languages that the collective mental link has, even creatures big or small, so with this symbiote, animals didn't die in vain as they completed their task in the fastest way possible
The mission to map the Antlion ness was a crucial one, and Ramiel knew that the stakes were high. Despite the loss of most of the symbiote animals he had sent out, he was proud of their sacrifice and determination. With the information they had gathered, Ramiel was able to prepare his force for any potential threats that may arise.
He made sure that every member of his team was ready to fight at a moment's notice, with weapons at the ready and a clear plan in place. Even though they had lost some valuable resources, They knew that there was no room for error in such a dangerous and unpredictable environment,
he wanted to eradicate the antlion as soon as he can but, something was stopping him, it was just too easy to send his army and kill every single Antlion in their nesT, until he recalled a certain war story that Grandpa Tang shared with him before, while the protagonist was busy preparing for the upcoming battle with huge monsters the real enemy was able to enter the hero's home and kill all of the people who were related to the hero, crippling his will to keep on fighting,

leaving him devastated and alone. The hero was left with no choice but to continue on his journey, seeking revenge against the real enemy who had caused so much pain and destruction. With each step, he grew stronger and more determined to avenge the loss of his loved ones.
This was a sad reminder that they need to rethink what their main goal is. Ramiel called Beta and had a private meeting, using the collective knowledge of all of the symbiotes. About his suspicion, Beta agreed with his assumption that the possibility was there and that the probability that this was all set up to derail their plan to reclaim the Royal Capital was very high. Queen Allatou entered Ramiels tent and joined the discussion. She also wondered that the timing was really questionable, and even the part where the nine nobles who were known to be followers of Queen Allatou were the ones Duke Gilvores Dallmethad personally selected,
So he decided to personally visit the royal capital, through one of the seven communities under disguise. and infiltrate the castle, and determine if their plan to march back toward the royal capital was still possible and follow a certain amount of royal decorum and dignity as his mother reclaims the site of power the honourable way, or just take it by force.
The task at hand was not an easy one. Ramiel knew that he had to tread carefully if he wanted to achieve his goal. He had to disguise himself and infiltrate the castle, without being detected by the guards. Once inside, he had to determine if their plan to march back toward the royal capital was still possible. This would require him to gather intelligence and assess the strength of their army.
However, he also had to follow a certain amount of royal decorum and dignity, as his mother had taught him. He couldn't just barge in and take over the throne by force. He had to reclaim the site of power in an honourable way, even if it meant facing challenges along the way. he took a deep breath and prepared himself for what lay ahead. He knew that this mission would test his skills as a leader and his ability to think on his feet. But he was determined to succeed,
but Queen Allatou and Beta were adamant about going in alone so with this they insisted that they will come along and ask her son to leave the affairs of the royal capital fate in her hands, she will determine the final outcome and bear the responsibility and burden to whatever her decision may be,
He took a deep breath and prepared himself for what lay ahead. He knew that this mission would test his skills as a leader and his ability to think on his feet. But he was determined to succeed, but Queen Allatou and Beta were adamant about going in alone, so with this, they insisted that they would come along and ask her son to leave the affairs of the royal capital's fate in her hands; she would determine the final outcome and bear the responsibility and burden of whatever her decision may be,
Her son reluctantly agreed to her proposal, knowing that his mother was a wise and just ruler. He trusted her judgment and knew that she would make the best decision for the kingdom. As he left the royal capital, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He wondered what fate lay ahead for his beloved home and its people.
Would his mother be able to handle the weight of responsibility that came with such an important decision? Only time will tell. In the meantime, he vowed to do everything in his power to support his mother and ensure that her decision was carried out with the utmost care and precision. The fate of the kingdom hung in the balance, but with his mother at the helm, he had faith that everything would turn out for the best.
Ramiel opened a transfer gate toward the territory of the Dryads, led by Lord Mihangyl Vulluin, who have established their hidden city in the Sheol, a few miles away from the nearest settlement. The city is located on a mountain plateau that encircles the entire Royal Capital. With a population of six thousand Dryads and halflings, the community thrives in its secluded environment. The Dryads are known for their connection to nature and their ability to communicate with forest creatures.
Lord Mihangyl Vulluin is a respected leader who has brought prosperity to his people through his wise governance and diplomatic relations with neighbouring settlements. The Dryads' hidden city is a marvel of architecture and engineering, built to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Visitors are often amazed by the beauty of the city and its inhabitants' harmonious relationship with nature. Despite their isolation, the Dryads are an important part of the region's economy, providing goods and services to nearby settlements while maintaining their unique way of life.
Ramiel made sure to relay all the needed information to the rest, as they left the remaining Symbiote pygmy mouse jumped into Ramiels pants and once again became part of his clothing, Ramiel express his admiration toward the brave survivor and ask it their anything he can do to alleviate its sadness, Beta was standing beside him while his mother was talking to Lord Mihangyl Vulluinnear the transfer gate as she explained their plan,
Beta told Ramiel the pygmy mouse form was voted upon by all of them to be the suitable form to use in their particular task, but in reality, there were multiple types of creatures within the Symbiote, and sadly last remaining Symbiote was indeed pygmy mouse when it was still alive, it informed Beta, that the symbiote reconnaissance team had to make do with what they had. The Symbiote was a complex organism, with a network of interconnected creatures that worked together to achieve a common goal. Each creature had its own unique abilities and strengths, and they all relied on each other to survive. The pygmy mouse was just one of many creatures within the symbiote.
but it was the one that the team had chosen to use for their task. They knew that it was small and agile, with keen senses and quick reflexes, which made it ideal for navigating through tight spaces and avoiding detection. Despite its small size, the pygmy mouse was a formidable creature, capable of taking down prey much larger than itself. It was a shame that the last remaining symbiote was only composed of this one species, but the team would have to make do with what they had if they wanted to succeed in their mission.
Sadly, only one of them survived. and the symbiote animal that was once Ramiels armour was left with one remaining survivor, which was actually a family pygmy mouse when it was still alive. It was sad because they could no longer do anything to protect their master because of its size and the number could only manifest a small item in his clothing, but the remaining ten pygmy mice remained fiercely loyal to Ramiel. ,
the tiny creatures would often scurry around as part of his clothing, as his mother gave the two the signal that they may proceed were their plan to infiltrate the inner workings of the castle as new slave servants,
the three were able to secretly enter the outer territory of the Royal capital but the issue of their immense energy would alert many staff officers around the capital, due to the fact it's a capital city with a large concentration of high-level individuals roaming within the area and most guards and knights patrolling the castle could see mana, and Ramiel mana was oozing out even if he was already trying his best to control it, so Dryads Lord Mihangyl Vulluin gave him two arm bracelet but it still wasn't enough, so the Dryads Lord could only us an energy feeding plant that looks like a spider, as fist Ramiel was reluctant considering he might become vulnerable the defenceless, the spider-like plant was harmless at it only feeds on the excess energy they escape his body,
Lord Mihangyl Vulluin these plants were commonly used to suppress a Wyvern's violent tendencies when sleeping calming them down,
Queen Allatou took a smaller version of the plant and place it the upper certer of her chest to prove it was perfectly harmless and easy to remove, the moment the spider plant latched on to her skin
Queen Allatou release a small amount of energy, and the plant instantly ate it and the power level of 700 became 23 in a few minutes than after showing it to Ramiel she just used her sharp nails to poke a specific spot at the plant to detach itself and fell on the ground,
seeing this he was convinced, Queen Allatou herself selected the plant and placed it at his back, and like what she showed him the moment it latch on to his skin it just ate the excess energy dropping his power level to 400, sadly the plant was getting bigger making his appearance resemble a hunchback the huge lump on his back could be seen the moment to fully suppress his power to level 25 the lump was big enough to truly identify himself as a hunchback,
he saw this as a great disguise so he gladly accepted it, another issue need proper attention and it was his looks,
he has been identified already and many parts of the capital have enchantment-blocking crystals to stop spies from freely entering the inner palace, but this crystal could block enchantment scrolls, like Queen Allatou who was gifted with the ability to shapeshift she could easily nullify the crystals spell, and Beta was a Symbiote who can easily change shape instantly,
the remaining Symbiote armour made an effort to make a face disguise for their master, and due to determination and will to serve their master the Symbiote animal armour was able to fashion a suitable face for their master this made Ramiel happy and once again complemented their efforts,
Ramiel was standing in Lord Mihangyl Vulluin's private chambers and made sure no other person was around to see them, Ramiel perfected his disguise, ensuring that every detail was just right. He hunched over as he walked, his back bent, and his movements were slow and deliberate. His clothes were old and tattered, the fabric worn thin from years of use. Queen Allatou, on the other hand, had transformed herself into an old woman with remarkable skill.
Her hair was white as snow, and her skin was wrinkled and weathered. Her teeth were crooked and yellowed, adding to the illusion of age and frailty. Despite their convincing disguises, they both knew that danger lurked around every corner. The regent, Duke Gilvores Dallmethad, was a resentful man with a confirmed narcissistic streak. They had to be careful not to attract his attention or arouse his suspicions if they hoped to succeed in their mission. With each passing moment, the stakes grew higher and the risks greater. So that it why he only allows ugly-looking personnel, believing they are easy to control and manipulate, and the fact they look unattractive makes having a job everything to them because they have nothing to offer rather than just being a slave.
while Beta just made herself look like an old, grumpy, deaf Satyr who had lost her way in the forest. and joined this group to find a job as servants They had a plan, a well-thought-out strategy that would enable them to achieve their goal without drawing too much attention to themselves. As they made their way deeper into the forest, they kept a watchful eye out for any signs of danger or interference. The tension was palpable, and their nerves were on edge,
but they remained focused and determined. Ramiel, Queen Allatou, and Beta knew that the fate of their kingdom rested on their success, and they were willing to do whatever it took to ensure that they emerged victorious. With each step they took, they grew more confident in their abilities and more resolute in their determination to succeed. And as the sun began to set on the horizon, they knew that they were one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal. As they finally were on the pathway leading into the Capital City
now their next plan was to visit a known secret supporter of Queen Allatou, one of the known merchants in the area Haftling Broness Leena Erdan as she was already informed by the communication device Beta gave them before travelling back to their home,
Beta was constantly in communication with all of the Arcane commanders, secretly patrolling the Crimson mountain, as the Antlion was still dormant but rapidly increasing numbers,
even Lord Vandom Ragnar Hellmane's family, Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron, Count Tiarsus Mirielis, and Earl Reeve Gallien were given information about certain specifics that needed to be addressed and be dealt with individually, as extra precaution if the Antlion suddenly woke up and started to feed, causing chaos and destruction throughout the land. Each member of Lord Vandom Ragnar Hellmane's family was tasked with a unique responsibility, designed to help prevent such a disaster from occurring. by using their vast information network and recruiting more loyal hired personnel to store vast amounts of weapons in strategic locations
Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron was responsible for overseeing the construction of a series of fortified walls around the perimeter of the Antlion's lair, designed to keep it contained in the event that it did awaken.
Count and Countess Mirielis and Irles Filri Hellmane were tasked with developing a series of food rations or ready-to-eat military and civilian meals, that could last for long periods of time without spoiling. The trio spent days researching and experimenting with various ingredients and preservation methods until they finally came up with a recipe that met their requirements. Their creation was a nutritious and flavorful meal that could be stored for years without losing its quality.
Earl Reeve Gallien, meanwhile, was responsible for coordinating with the local guild and medical enforcement units to ensure that they were prepared to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency. Together, these efforts represented a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat posed by the Antlion, one that would hopefully prevent any catastrophic outcomes from occurring.
Echo and Inspector Delta took the necessary risk to capture a sleeping Antlion larva for experimentation and found out that using fire would chemically react to toxins inside their body, so it was a wide decision from their master not to use violence toward the creature, but instead to find a more effective way to extract the necessary information to kill these creatures without creating another problem because of neglect and lack of preparation on their side,
After careful observation and experimentation, they discovered that the antlion larva was capable of producing a unique enzyme that could potentially become a deadly virus that could plague the entire city for years.
With this newfound knowledge, Echo and Inspector Delta worked tirelessly to develop a serum using the enzyme extracted from the antlion larva. While a different type of weapon was being developed and created under the Muldrulir and Leeganto clans, under the protection and assistance of Sigma and Sierra, who made sure to supply them with a fully grown antlion,
The collective became the central information network. Even before leaving for the royal capital of Corvania, he had already given the collective mental knowledge and psyche a permanent physical form. Ramiel called it the collective central AI and handed it to Lady Laerdya Galadriel. It was a symbiote orb core as big as his fist, and finally,
the first information network was created, it gathered information from the independent Homunculus Worker and Warrior because they are all still mentally linked and connected to it. everything they experience and learned in their daily activities was being stored as Data, as all of their information has been translated into a form that is efficient for movement or processing all available knowledge . This interconnectedness allowed for a seamless exchange of information between the Worker and Warrior, making them an unstoppable force. They were able to anticipate each other's moves and work together in perfect harmony.
The Data they collected was analyzed and used to improve their performance, making them even more efficient and effective. As time went on, the Worker and Warrior became more than just machines, they became a part of the system itself. Their existence was necessary for the smooth operation of the entire network. They were the backbone that held everything together, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. The future looked bright for this interconnected system, as it continued to evolve and improve with each passing day.
The Worker and Warrior were at the forefront of this evolution, leading the charge towards a brighter tomorrow where technology and humanity worked hand in hand to achieve greatness.
and the communication device she created was integrated into a particular system designed to be used openly by those who are part of Arcane or those who are associated with them.
So as of last month, Ramiel was just accessing the collective via the communication device on his ear, and most personnel up to the lower rank are currently using the device, using voice command, while the collective will be the one who facilitates the request.
This technology has revolutionized the way that communication occurs within the organization. It has allowed for quicker and more efficient communication between personnel, as well as allowing for more accurate and timely responses to requests. The collective is able to process information at an incredible speed, which means that requests are fulfilled almost instantly.
This has greatly improved the overall productivity of the organization, as tasks are completed much faster than they were before. Additionally, the use of voice commands has made it much easier for personnel to communicate with each other while on the go, which means that they can stay connected even when they are not in the same location. Overall, this new technology has been a game-changer for the organization, and it is expected to continue to improve and evolve in the years to come.
as the Three finally entered the outer city that saw a massive amount of soldiers on standby and was fully equipped to go to war, his decision was in perfect alignment with what they were seeing in the city, they really need to get to the royal castle to ensure these people won't die in vain under those corrupt people
