Chapter 235 - 234. Hive… and Rebirth by Blood
◉◉◉◉◉
Deep within his Oscrop Industries underground lab, Nolan stood before a containment chamber, the remains of Hive suspended in biomagnetic gel.
Hive was dead. Nolan had personally obliterated his fragmented soul using soulcraft magic ensuring no remnants lingered.
What remained now was all he needed: DNA.
And Hive’s genetics were... fascinating.
Each of his parasitic fragments carried his entire genome. Each was biologically independent, yet when united, reformed a conscious whole.
A true hive mind.
It wasn’t just parasitism, it was a living embodiment of decentralized biology.
To Nolan, each parasite was an independent lifeform. But when their quantum field signatures aligned, they operated as organs in a single organism. Some became the brain. Others, limbs. Some, even glands.
"Now I understand why he was called Hive..."
"Not just for his name. But for the concept collective consciousness born from division."
