Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Chapter 223 - 223: Blessings of the God of Humanity

Ambrosia met my stare directly.

"What else could we do? You vanished so suddenly, and we had no idea why or where. I could've been humans' fault—they already tried to kidnap some of our own. But even if it wasn't, we… We couldn't risk following your plans on your own. I hoped to cripple humans quickly while they were still fighting each other. That it didn't work will be my lesson."

"So… You admit it was a mistake, Amby?"

She gave me an unimpressed look.

"Of course. Two hives were destroyed, Hive Supremo became the target of an attack, and we are *still* counting all the losses. What else could it be? This doesn't mean I would've acted differently back then." Ambrosia's face softened. "Punish me for this, if you think it's necessary, Nectus. But tell me—what happened to you? Why did you disappear?"

"Yes, Father! Please, tell us," Worriesgone echoed in her sweet voice.

"And don't blame Mother-Queen for this. I was the military commander, and all mistakes are mine!" Bloodhero said.

I smiled, as usual, unable to be angry at them for long.

After all, what else could I have expected? I didn't even *just* die—I mysteriously vanished from plain sight!

It was a wonder the Bee Empire was still standing and not being on fire. Mostly.

"Alright, alright. No punishments. Your Father is here to deal with the mess you made for him, and I'm sure you will punish yourself with guilt without my help." I chuckled. "As for why I've disappeared… I suppose it'd be better if you know the details."

"We are listening, Father," Re

"As great as these boosts are, they won't help us *immediately*, even the retroactive one. We still have a war with humans on the way…"

"Don't worry, Father. After the crushing defeat humans went through at Hive Supremo, we almost won this war. By now, Bloodimina's army must've almost reached their village!"

My eyes brightened.

"Ah, yes. But—even with everything you went through—I'm still sure we can conquer and enslave the surviving humans instead of killing *every one of them*. And this time, I have an even better idea of how we can do it. It will be *total* victory, believe me. I won't let humans give you a repeat of the last month."

I glanced at Undecided, who dutifully listened in the corner, so she could dream about her past self's experiences of listening to the Council sessions…

"There are a dozen generations now with the Chaotic Evolution gene, and I'm sure there should be at least someone there with a gene I want to see. So, listen to what I want you to do. First, of course, we must organize a small celebration so everybody I didn't greet yet could see that I'm alive and well—this is on you, Worriesgone. Next…"
