Chapter 87: Aftermath of Black Poison Ant Subduing
"Order the others to surrder," he telepathically ordered the que ant. The que ant let out a noise at level impossible to be heard by humans, and demons, and other monsters.
With this, the guard ant began to calm down, as more survivors began to make their way to the Que chamber, also his order. As the ranks and ants walk towards the chamber, Alros quickly calculate the number of ants in this ant hills.
A quick estimate put the numbers a 500 at the momt, most of them killed by him and his force. However, he is not worried about it, as there are a lot of eggs than will become Black Poison Ant.
"Told the others to ter this portal," at that momt, the portal to the system space began to appear. "And make sure they did not attack anything inside it,"
The que ant st a telepathic message of saying it understand. And so began the migration of the Black Poison Ant colony into his system space, the eggs and larva also brought as it would be the future of the colony.

"Looks like there is more than I thought of," Alros exclaimed, seeing the capacity of the new lair only being at 8, ev if the numbers is 0 times of that. Th again, he already knew of it so it is not a new information, but seeing it still surprised him by a bit.
"The que seem to be laying more eggs," he said, his eyes on the new anthill. While the que already deep underg, his Mana Sse can detect the que, not to mtion, with them being inside his system space, he can see any one inside of it, no matter where they are.
He also let out a light sigh. Thankfully, Subdues also work in the same way as the system space, in that he was able to subdue multiple Black Poison Ants at the cost of mana he used for subduing a single goblin.
Though, he need to start thinking of upgrading Subdue, to make it easier for him to get more monsters, and stronger monsters under him. Though he need to get a lot of SP if he wanted to do so.
While he could hunt advturers inside the forest, he did not want to kill too many of them or there would be suspicion and the Betrum Kingdom might did a sweep in the forest, to clear out whatever responsible for killing all the advturers.
Killing them one per week or two per week would be better, as it would make it look like they are destroyed by some powerful bugs and not the beginning of a monster stampede, or bug stampede in this case.
He also need to be careful whever he bring more and more monsters under his command. After all, if he remove to many at once, there would be questions and the likelihood of C-ranks, or worse, B-ranks, investigating the area would be higher.
So, he need to create a rule for himself, from what is the limit for him he to take at a once, to the interval of his doing so. Though he would think about it in the morning.
For now, he would like to did a quick check on the bodies of the killed Black Poison Ant. While the burnt specim is esstially useless, there is some that get squished by clubs. Not to mtion, the weapons contiminated by the poison can be examined by him so he would be able to determine the contt of the poison.
The squished bodies would also be of some use as he would be able gain some samples and see if it is possible to clone the ant. While it would not be that much of use for such cloned specim, it would allow him to do experimts that bordered, oh, who was he kidding, that stepped directly on the line of mad scitist.
As his goblins brought in the rest of the bodies as well as the equipmt used in the battle. Though, he still need some lab rats. Thankfully, he had several prepared already.

"Looks like the preparation I have made work out well," Alros looked at the cloned slaves. He had used his Growth Tube to grow a lot of clones of his male slaves.
After all, most of his oppont would be m, at least the more lethal arsal he is going to experimt would be used on male. After all, wom would be more useful as LP farms.
He coated a dagger with the poison before cutting one of the clone on his arm. After a few seconds, the clones grasped its arm as he screamed, the former scitist watching carefully as the clone tried to rip it's own arm, the pain too much for him to bear.
All the while, the demon observed the clone's action and began to write it, acting like there is nothing wrong with it. Before long, the clone no longer scream, though it did close his eyes but a quick check revealed it is still alive.
"The poison is very lethal. Th again, clones are not best test subject for accurate result. After all, all clones would have some defect in them. The best way would to test it on a being that is not a clone," he rubbed his head at the thought.
While his slaves are not important for him, at the very least, they still have their use, not to mtion, he could make them useful easily with the tools in his disposal.
So, he need to grab an advturer and test it on them on the lethality of the poison. Th he would compare the reaction betwe the clones and compared it to the real deal. And hopefully, it would not be too differt or he would never be able to use clones to gauge the effect of differt poison.
"Let's not think about it for now. It at least show that m would feel pain from such poison. However, more test need to be done to make sure we can put it as symptoms,"
-x- After 9 more clones being used as lab rats, he was able to gather the date he wanted.
"Looks like grasping the bitt place, holding it like you want to rip it apart, and the scream is all normal symptoms for clones. Whether or not it is normal symptoms for regular person or not, that up to debate," he said as he write more notes.
At the very least, it have some use in that it is an effective poison to be used on human, maybe ev other races as well,"
