The hivemind is conquering for me?-Chapter 371: Orchids ’Serious’ Request

The evacuation was underway with extreme losses due to the damage caused by the gigantic creature the hunger had brought to the battlefield. Out of the twenty billion biological lifeforms brought to the world's defence, only Six billion managed to evacuate successfully, while another two were forced to stay behind and fight to the end as the remainder of the fleet was packed to the brim.

While the hive went into an all out assault, I was moping as I walked as I had messed up and although Jewel said it was fine, I still felt very bad as it was my fault. ' I can't believe that lady was the god entity... How was I supposed to know? She just looked like a regular dying alien.'

Prime three was unsure of how to help her mate. The influx of emotions of being around her mate were new and needed to be observed and studied until she knew how to deal with them. For now, she simply followed Apollo at a snail's pace, simply glad to be by his side after so long.

Fortunately, an entity with a little more understanding of Apollo's emotions had made her way through the devastated battlefield to console her mate.

As soon as my eyes landed upon Orchid, I began to tear up and fell to my knees. Orchid quickly ran over and wrapped her body around mine to comfort me and began to read my mind.

The battle had taken its toll on me. I had been suppressing my emotions for the last few days, just doing my best to help my hive as much as possible. I was not crying because I was upset though. It was just that I had so many emotions come back to me now that I felt safe again that they were overwhelming and the relief that I was still alive was simply expelling out of my eyes.

The embrace and the cry proved extremely cathartic and I felt thousands of times better afterwards. "Thank you love-bug and I am sorry again that I let the god get away. I know you expended a great deal of biomass just to get into her domain and I feel terrible about it."

Orchid continued to rub my head affectionately, ignoring the intense, jealous and envious gaze of prime three as she replied. "It is ok Apollo love. The queen actually thinks that since the god entity's transformation has now been confirmed to be artificial, she believes that the biomass would have only been as good as a powerful Psionic entity. And we have just eaten three of those in the last hour on another hunt galaxies away."

"Wait, really?" I asked, the wave of feeling like a bad mate washing away as Orchid nodded her head as she smiled at me. "Now, come here Apollo, you have not eaten since I last fed you." She said as she melded her armour back revealing her fleshy mounds.

As I dug in for my meal, Prime three looked on with a mild twinge of disgust. Not at her mate for eating, but at Orchids flesh. It was too soft. Prime three had been designing her own 'Apollo mating body' for some time, but could not stand the thought of having fleshly mammalian exocrines or anything of that nature. She was hoping Apollo would enjoy her form once she has access to a nest world's stores to create it.

After drinking, I noticed Orchid was all hot and bothered, breathing erratically. In her defence, she did not say she would hold back her desires this time and enjoyed her kink to her fullest extent.

After wiping my mouth and shaking my head with a smile on my face at the creature commonly known as Orchid, I said. "Well, I suppose my moping is over then. I should probably go and find Keyla..."

The war was not yet officially over, but with the mass evacuation over the last few hours, the last of the biological defenders, and the entirety of what's left of the Thurx, were not enough to be a threat any more and it was only a matter of time until the hive devoured them all.

"Mhm." Prime three made a sort of grunt, causing me to look up towards her as she continued, now she knew she had her Apollo's attention. "That Hybrid entity is fascinating. A shame, It would have been a fine prey for me to hunt. If it were 20ft taller… Hmm, Convenient height measuring device..." Prime three muttered to herself at the end as she accessed the Apollo lexicon in the hive speech section of her link...

Things like time, height and speed were never really measured by the hive before Apollo came along, the hive simply uses it to better adjust to Apollo's viewpoint of the universe after all. It was coincidentally why Jewel had grown bored during Apollo's absence. Finally keeping track of time made her realise how slow it passed, something that annoyed prime three as she became infected by it as well and now becomes extremely restless in travel to new hunting grounds.

And yet, in front of her. Apollo seemed to make time speed up. It felt like a millennia had passed since her fight with the god class prey and she cared little. Just looking at her mate with her own body satisfied her beyond belief.

I chuckled at Prime three's comment. "Don't give Keyla any ideas, she isn't allowed to get taller or she would lose her short stack privilege. By the way, where is she?" I asked, turning back to Orchid.

Orchid peered through the eyes of a collective of bio forms before instantly replying. "Keyla is still underground. The fighting there has opened up into a giant chasm. She seems to be doing well, but has slowed down considerably as she has begun to limit her blood intake so she doesn't go feral again."

Looking up at Prime three, I smiled apologetically after hearing the situation. "Sorry love, I don't think you are going to fit down below. Are you going to be ok on your own?" I asked, causing the primes adrenaline to spike at being called 'love.'

After a sharp exhale out of her maw, she replied. "Very well Apollo. I shall return to the queen and meet you there soon." The Prime then effortlessly disappeared from my view, I guessed upwards, but she was already too far away for me to see her form.

"Wow. She was so sexy." I murmured, causing Orchid to glare at me. "What? She was! I can appreciate a gorgeous buggy beauty when I see one, or have you forgotten our first interaction? Besides, what's 8ft between love?" I added on at the end, causing Orchid to smile before she initiated a kiss.

I enjoyed the short yet sweet kiss before she pulled away. "Orchid could never forget laying her eyes upon you for the first time. So small, so beautiful. Our little mate-spawn. Now enough thinking about the prime for now Apollo and let us go and find Keyla so you may fulfil your promise and as a result, she can stop repeating. 'Blood orgy!' Over and over through the link."

I chuckled hearing that and replied. "That girl really has an obsession with that fantasy huh? Just have my bath drones on the ship ready for when we are done. I can't imagine all the filth I am going to have to roll around in just to appease her."

This 'sex on top of the corpses of our enemies' fantasy of Keyla's was definitely not up my alley, but I loved Keyla both as a hive entity and as an individual so I would happily fulfil her first time request. I was also pretty pent up after having my adrenaline on edge for the past few days and could definitely do with some release.

Orchid and I then began walking for about twenty minutes in silence as she led us to the nearest entrance to the underground of this planet. I had been enjoying the silence as I had not heard any for days, except for when I was in space, as all the gun fire, explosions, shrieks, roars, death cries and myriad other battlefield sounds had become the natural sound of the planet until now.

Orchid however had been brewing something in her mind and stopped at the entrance to ask Apollo.

"Apollo love. Orchid would like to request something from you." She said seriously, causing my full attention to turn to her as her tone left me uneasy. Grabbing her hand, I squeezed as I said. "Ask my love, if it's in my power to do so, I would be more than happy to complete your request."

Orchid took a deep breath like she was about to say something really taxing to her and said. "Orchid would like to participate in the 'bloody mating' after Keyla. The thought of being slick in our enemies blood while you ravage me has not left my mind since we began walking. Would you do this for your mate?"

I grumbled immediately at Orchids words. I should have expected her request to not actually be as serious as her face and voice made it out to be. I did not reply and began walking into the tunnel, the only words Orchid heard bouncing off the nearby walls, which ultimately made her smile, were.

"Damn horny space bugs, just ask normally instead of sending me on an emotional roller-coaster…"
