The hivemind is conquering for me?

The man frowned a moment trying to figure out why the man who intruded upon the meeting looked familiar. Upon realising it was the man from surveillance he smiled cruelly. "Oh The northern noble makes his presence known. Listen here fuckwit, you ever come down south again where you are not welcome, your little slut with the blue hair might not be able to save your life again, now move!"

The man tried to barge past the pussy of a noble to appease his frustration. Instead, he felt like he hit a brick wall and his whole left side was immobile.

I clutched onto the random mans metal collar bone and began to apply a great deal of pressure. The man folded in an instant as he began screaming to make it stop. I did not however, and continued to apply pressure of the metal until I could audibly hear it creak.

"Let me tell you something stranger." I said calmly. "I do not know what meeting just transpired and for what reason, but you have NO RIGHT!" I caused the metal underneath his skin to snap as I applied all my anger and my pain into my fists grip strength. "To call anyone in this club that name, especially her."

I then knelt down next to the man and whispered in his ear. "Now you can either earnestly apologise to the lovely lady Jinx, or I can continue to break your flimsy excuses for augmentations. Your choice."

The man had begun sweating profusely. The pain was bearable now as his spinal column augmentation had just injected him with some morphine. However, the fact that this man just crushed through his very expensive metal bone like it was nothing scared the crap out of him. This needed to be reported!

Turning to Jinx, the woman he now hated more than anything in the world, he swallowed his pride and said. "I am so sorry I called you that word. I promise to you that I will never call you or anyone in this establishment that word again."

Jinx smiled satisfied, but her thoughts were currently elsewhere. I took Jinx's smile as it being enough and pulled the man to his feet. "Leave right now before I change my mind and try to figure out how much human still remains under that skin of yours."

The man needed no further reason to stay and began sprinting though the club towards the exit. After satisfied that he had left, I closed the door and walked into the room. "I sorry, I hope I didn't overstep. I-"

Jinx acted fast. She had stood upon the table and walked over before jamming her tongue into my mouth. I was not expecting the invasion, but I welcomed it with open arms as I wrapped my own around her body, pulling her close.

Sophia wanted to intervene immediately, or at least participate, but she was paralyzed with worry as she could tell Apollo was in immense pain. After a minute or two, Jinx pulled back from the kiss and brough a hand to her lips.

"Mmmh, your lips taste like orgasms feel. That was very nice. I am sorry I ate your face without warning, but your show of strength made me super wet and I needed to vent some of my horniness out." She declared before looking away meekly. "D-Did you like it?"

I brushed away some of the blue hair from her face and smiled. "It was not a show of strength. I was doing what any good boyfriend would do for their girlfriend. I won't just let you be insulted, even if you are strong enough to handle it yourself. It is my instinct. As for the kiss. The majority of the hive is rather submissive in their kissing; I enjoyed having some competition for control." I said before leaning in to kiss her on the nose.

"Hmm!" A high pitched noise escaped from Jinx's mouth before she controlled herself. "I-Is that so? I am glad you liked it and hope we can kiss more in the future then." She then turned away from me and towards Sophia. "Mum, I am going to go now. If I linger for too long, the shitbots might think we are 'negotiating' further."

Sophia's eyes that had been glued to my body, looked away for the first time to respond to Jinx. "Ok Jinx, be careful and try not to get killed." Jinx did not respond to Sophia and simply blew a playful kiss and descended from the table.

I opened the door for her to leave to which she thanked me as she walked through. Just as I was about to shut the door behind her, I heard a "Kiyaaaaah! Wait Apollo, you were supposed to shut the door!" She stopped midscream, her face turning red at being caught venting her emotional state.

"Oh sorry Jinx." I said sincerely before going to close the door once more. Once again, Jinx screamed prematurely, but this time I let her do so and shut the door fully. Once I turned my attention back into the room, Sophia was now stood right in front of me. Her arms were outstretched, but seemed afraid of touching me in case she exasperated my condition.

Rolling my eyes, I walked over to the couch and pulled Sophia onto my lap. "I am fine, I got hit with some anti Psionic energy and it has exasperated my Psionic decay. I still have plenty of time to get home and get it fixed, but there is something that is going to happen this week that you need to know about." Experience new tales on empire

Sophia listened to the words, but her instincts were screaming at her to protect Apollo and ensure his safety. "Are you sure you are ok? You need biomass to fix your condition correct? I can round up a few thousand people in the hour for you? Surely some would have a sliver of biomass you can use to ease your pain?"

"Aww, come here." I said as I pulled Sophia into a hug. "I appreciate you willing to commit mass murder for me. It is a cute trait you all have, but I really will be fine. Besides, Onyx said she has a temporary solution for me and has taken Samantha with her to help."

"And how was Onyx around you in this state?" Sophia questioned. "Very supportive and let me hold her as I vented out some of my pain." I replied. Sophia allowed herself to relax after hearing that. If Onyx was acting calmly, It meant everything was most likely going to be fine.

Fully composed once more, Sophia took the initiative to wrap her arms around my neck as she asked. "Ok then, So what is happening this week that requires my attention?"

…

Onyx was in the clubs sublevels having made her way towards the nest pod. Samantha followed her master with a hastened pace as Onyx practically sprinted away after Apollo went to Sophia.

Already, Onyx had dove into the nest pods liquid and began scooping it up into a large vat. "Master what are you doing?" Samantha asked curiously. Onyx looked up at Samantha frantically. "Go get a weapon that can cut with serrated teeth. We do not have a lot of time!"

Samantha turned off her ability to think upon hearing that and began performing the task her gene superior ordered her to do. She came back a minute later with a chainsaw. Onyx noticed this and muttered. "That will have to do."

She then morphed into her stalker form and began ripping off certain armoured plates with great difficulty. If Samantha was still acting as an individual, she would be freaking out and asking questions, but now she was the hive itself and acting solely on orders.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Cut off my tail where I just ripped off my plates! My body contains Prime DNA, It will sustain Apollo's bodies need for energy. I cannot see him in that state of pain again! I WONT!" Onyx could not believe she held herself together earlier. She wanted to immediately go back to that disgusting world and devour the inferior that dared to injure her universe with that abhorrent energy.

Onyx was taking a gamble however. She was hoping that Apollo's consumption of Sophia's poisons and the fact that her own existence was directly bound to her universe as his slave would prevent the hive's Innate corruptive properties from turning Apollo into a being of the hive. She believed there would be no problem, but her panicked state was preventing her from using her foresight so she could not be sure.

She composed herself however, by promising herself that she would get her revenge upon that creature that injured him in the future. For now, Apollo's condition was all that mattered to her. Samantha had begun to cut into Onyx's flesh, but her flesh was so dense that it was going to take a while.

The feeling of her flesh being slowly rent away by the chain blade was nothing compared to witnessing Apollo's pain. That moment where she was being hugged while he spasmed will haunt her for the rest of her existence and she vowed she would never see it again as long as she lived. She would go against the fate of the universe itself to prevent such an occurrence from happening once more.
