《From Max to Zero to God》Chapter 50 - Bee Queen
Advertisement
“Soldiers! Melee Combat!” Aiko struck her blade on the stinger of an oncoming bee, sending a wave of water slamming onto the insect, soaking it on the deck for the soldiers to finish it.
Aiko panted hard, it’s already been a few hours, yet the swarm of bees didn’t relent, wave after wave of bees crashed onto the ships, it took nearly a dozen mana potions for the mages to survive the onslaught of bees. “Archers! Explosive Barrage!”
“Captain! We’re out of explosive arrows!” Aiko cursed, “Switch to melee combat! Everyone be careful!” Aiko raised her blade and readied herself against the sky of bees.
“For the Wave!”
“ROHHHHH!”
“HAAAAA!”
>>>
Han Ling’s side…
“It seems their doing quite well… I’ll need to finish up on my side quickly.”
He stared in front of him, his gaze locked with a large bee standing on the ground, its eye a bright red of fury. It screeched and burst forward, destroying the area around it. Han Ling felt a grin form on his face, “So, this is the strength of the queen…”
Han Ling raised a blade and struck down, the queen’s claw and Obsidian Hollow collided, sending a ring of shockwave bursting out from their attacks. The winged Han Ling flapped his wings, a wind of sparks slammed into the queen. And the queen froze, unable to use any of her abilities.
Han Ling flew into the air, snapping his fingers as he rose.
RUMBLE! BAM!
A bolt of lightning slammed right onto the back of the queen, scorching her entire back. She screeched in pain, but Han Ling showed her no mercy.
[Energy Barrage]
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Han Ling fired a barrage of energy orbs, blasting the queen with precise energy strikes. Right after the barrage the smoke around the queen burst away, and the furious queen screeched. But Han Ling with in front of her, his sword arcing down in a deadly angle.
The queen raised both claws and a clang of metal sounded, soon a pained shriek escaped the queen’s maw as the true damage dealt its damage, further silencing the queen.

Han Ling spun, “Void Sword Style: First Form. Billowing Vortex!”
-4321 -5329
Two distinct spins struck the queen, careening her into a boulder. The queen bee found herself lodged in the solid rock, looking up weakly to see three sword beams striking her straight on the chest.
-6742 -8723 -12342 CRITICAL HIT!
SCREEEEEEE!!!!
Han Ling floated on the air, silently staring at the screaming queen. “It seems she’ll be moving on to her next phase…” Exactly as Han Ling said, the queen begun to change…
The queen’s body changed, spikes sprouted from her forearms, claws as long as her stinger and green poison dripped off the tip. Her red eyes turned black, and her mandibles widened considerably. She stared at Han Ling, her aura rising high to the sky.
“Around the level of a goblin lord huh…”
“No more messing around then…”
[Six Blood Forms: Sixth Form. Red Fury]
[LVL 4 Sword Aura]
[Void Aura]
[Blood Dance]
[Void Sprint]
Han Ling burst forward, as did the queen and they met in the centre, a shockwave twice as big rang out the island. A storm loomed near and lightning struck down every time Han Ling snapped, but the queen was too fast, the bolts never hit her.
So, Han Ling had to use his blood sabres to slowly chip away at the queen’s health. Sword met claw, shockwaves exploded from every single clash. The fight was fierce, the enraged queen’s attack patterns were all over the place, a thrust, a slash and all of a sudden a sting.
It was so furious, even with Han Ling’s quick sword, he couldn’t block every attack. Some slashes nicked his shoulder, and a thrust made a small line on his cheek. Han Ling scowled, sending three sword beams straight at the queen to which she slashed it aside, shocking Han Ling slightly.
“Shit! She’s strong! I can’t hold back now.”
“Void Spark: Sonic Clap!”
The gust of electricity slammed onto the queen, causing her to screech in rage as her abilities were locked once again. Then Han Ling shouted again, “Void Spark: Energy Barrage!”

BAM! BAM! BAM! BOOM!
-2321 -2342 -2532 -5321 CRITICAL HIT!
SCREEEEE!!!
Han Ling sent a flurry of attacks, “Void Sword Style: First Form. Billowing Vortex!”
-5321
“Void Sword Style: Second Form. Abyssal Surge!”
-7213
SCREEEEEE!!!
Han Ling leaped back, nimbly landing on the ground as he watched the bleeding queen cough out green blood. “I’ve dealt a decent amount, but I’ll have to end this.” He checked down at his Red Fury timer and frowned, “Only 5 seconds left, a little tight…”
He raised his hand, sending a second wave of energy barrage. The queen was smarter this time, a burst of green light surrounded the bee and she spat barrages of acid at the orbs, exploding them midway.
Han Ling sent all nine sabres towards the queen, to which she dodged easily but froze when she noticed the grin on Han Ling’s face.
The sabres stuck on the ground behind her vibrated, her insect-like face showed shock as red light blinded the insect.
[Bloody Baron’s Blade: Red Flash]
Flashes of bright red erupted on the island, as blood splattered on the trees. The metallic taste of blood filled the air, the dust had a hint of red on its surface.
SCREEEEEE!!!
A claw slashed at the cloud of dust, slicing it in half, revealing the queen’s battered, bloody insect body. But it also revealed a speedy shadow, a blurry afterimage of a winged human.
In a split second, Han Ling was right in front of the queen, an orb of purple light twisting on his palm like a spinning star. His eyes glowed bright purple, his wings crackled of lighting as he thrust his hand forward, feeling his fingers touch the tough carapace.
[Void Spark: Explosive Spark]
-24312 CRITICAL HIT!
With 5 stacks of Spark on the queen, she would stand no chance against a point blank strike on her chest.
It was an instant kill.
[You have slain LVL 87 Queen of the Spitting Bees.]
[You have levelled up!]
Han Ling breathed out a sigh of relief, his wings furled back in his back, energy dispersing from the island. He turned back to see the swarm of bees scattering like soldiers with a broken spirit, his eyes gazed on the ships, battered but still working.
He then turned back to the island, a smile on his face, “This place will be perfect for a base…”
With that he opened his stats.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Gods of the mountain
Saia has started a new life after leaving her native village and its abusive goddess. Now she spends her time fishing sea snakes and trying to forget her mistakes, but this peaceful existence is derailed when the earth trembles for the first time in centuries. Koidan, the god who is supposed to protect her new village from every danger, asks for her help to survive, shattering the illusions Saia has believed in for her entire life: the nine gods are not immortal after all, and the mountain towering on the nine villages isn't as sacred and untouchable as she thought. In exchange for answers about the gods and lessons of magic, Saia pledges to save Koidan, pursuing at the same time a secret, more pressing goal: taking revenge on the goddess that oppresses her village and getting her old life back.

There are themes of abuse and suicidal ideation. Please consider this before reading.________________________________________"She smells good, doesn't she Bennett?" The deep timber of the man's voice rings out through the still night and my body shivers in fear and disgust. Suddenly another man is at my side, twining his fingers through my hair. I can't see either of them clearly in the dark. The man, Bennett apparently, leans down close to me and takes in a large lungful of my scent as well. My knees begin to shake in terror and a low growl rumbles from his chest."She does smell good. She's pretty too." He says, pecking a kiss to my cheek. My face crunches in despair as I try to pull from their hold. "Let me go." I beg and the first man chuckles. "Awe. The little human is nervous." He says, amusement evident in his voice. A sob breaks from my lips as I try to pull my arm from his grasp."You're hurting me." I say, tugging my arm again."Let her go, Rowan." Bennett says, making the larger man grunt."Don't get attached to her. You know what happened to the last one."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
