Her Majesty's Swarm (女王陛下の異世界戦略〈ストラテジー〉, Joou Heika no Isekai Strategy) is a Japanese light novel series written by Iwamoto, Eiri with illustrated by Dai-616 Tokubetsu Jouhou Daitai. It began as a web novel that is published on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in December 2017. It was later acquired by KODANSHA "Legend Novels", who have published four volumes in print since October 2018. A manga adaptation, illustrated by Minamoto, Akira , has been serialized in the Nico Nico Seiga-based Suiyoubi no Sirius manga service since September 2018.
In her first life, she was obsessed with the "Arachnea," a spider-like race in the video game she adored. As an evil-aligned faction, they sought nothing but victory; the more they conquered, the more they grew, using the bodies of their enemies as fuel to multiply and expand the ever-growing swarm.
When she awakens, she is in a body younger than her former one and finds herself surrounded by the Arachnea, who call her "Her Majesty." She soon realizes that she too is connected to the hivemind, and her precious Arachnea still wish for victory—over who and for what ends, that is unclear, but their lust to win is undeniable.
To fulfill their desires, she leads the Arachnea, destroying all who are vile in the world. From the religious zealots who murder those unlike them, to the immoral slavers who deal in the lives of others, none are free from her path of carnage. You can plead, weep, or beg, but she has no mercy—the swarm of the Arachnea lives only for victory and to serve Her Majesty.

Character[]
Our protagonist is a college student who enjoys playing as the evil-aligned faction Arachnea in her favorite real-time strategy game. One day, she finds herself in a world similar to the one in the game; additionally, her body is now that of a Fourteen-year-old girl. While things are a bit different from how they were in the game, one element has remained the same: she is the leader of the Arachnea. The insects under her control, collectively known as the Swarm, praise her and implore her to lead them to victory. To survive, she raises her Swarm and forms friendly relations with the elves of the neighboring forest. But after a slaver traveling through the forest murders one of her Swarms and the nearby kingdom's knights burn down the elven village and massacre its people, she prepares to launch her counterattacks in the name of revenge.
However, revenge is merely a pretense for attacking the countries of this world. Her command is masterful and severe, as one who has played the game in real life...
A girl who was enjoying a certain real-time strategy game suddenly reincarnated in another world. Without knowing who she was or why she was there, what appeared before her was the terrifying giant army of insects, Arachnea. A corps of horror that eats everything pledges allegiance to her.
>> Spoiler...
After Grevillea knows the truth of her death and wakes up from the false paradise created by Samael the one who transferred Grevillea to the new world and also the one who created the event that is happening in the story. Sandalphon said she must win this game for her soul will be saved by her... And the battle against the Necrophage (Army of Dead) Unit in the Portrio Republic, Sérignan against The Headless Knight Hessian defending the other side and the other Swarms against the Wraith. - Arachnea's all-out attack on Necrophages began sieging the Necrophage capital, Glaive. The Headless Knight Hessian rushed to Grevillea but Sérignan defended her in her full strength, Sérignan evolved into her final evolution (Dark Knight Swarm). The devastating battle against both Hero units in different races (factions). In the final battle against Necrophage, Hessian's longsword has been cut off, and the Serinian's longsword is pierced deep into the Hessian's abdomen. Hessian blood dripped down his longsword, and he began to make little pools of blood. - And the final arc of the series (Chapter 6, Episode 132 "Game player") Grevillea goes to the Citadel to defeat Samael, who waiting for her. The purpose is to kill Samael who is the mastermind of all. To bring me into this world and defeat the devil who tried to destroy the new continent. Samael was on the top floor of the citadel. He looks cool and looks at us. Grevillea commands the Hygenocide Swarm to attack Samael, but the attack doesn't reach her. - Samael is not a game unit. he is a real devil, Without knowing anything, I ordered the Serinians to attack. Samael says so and smiles, waving one hand. Hygenocide Swarm, Serinian, and Lysa were all blown away by Samael who just waved his hand. Sérignan got up in the battle and attacked Samael, but Samael stopped Sérignan with one finger as he swung down his longsword. Saying so, Pin and Samael flick their fingers, and Sérignan is slammed into the wall. - Again, and again, and again, Sérignan keeps getting up and slashing at Samael. But it all ended up in vain. Grevillea noticed that there was no way we could win against the existence that created this world, they could not defeat the devil. Samael was not amused by what happening she said to Grevillea that she could reset the world, and the tragedy kept repeating and so on. Samael asks Grevillea if she drinks the wine, the fond in Arachnea will be broken, but Grevillea disagrees this term. Because Sérignan is like her comrades-in-arms who have fought so far and even the Arachnea race. - But Grevillea suddenly notices that she has a sword that is given to Sandalphon, this sword can harm Samael. Grevillea shouts for Sandalphon and asks if the sword was able to defeat Samael. Sandalphon said the sword was natural is different from Sérignan's holy sword. Grevillea challenges Samael in the battle. Samael said so and waved his hand. A shock wave rushes through. But I am steadfast. Samael waves his arms over and over again to generate shock waves, but I don't stop. Grevillea never gave up, and she succeeded in thrusting the sword into the chest of Samael. - Even though Samael's face changed to that of astonishment, I thrust the sword into Samael's chest. At that moment, light shone from the evil sword, and that light exploded. Samael blew Grevillea away and hit her head hard on the ground. But the effect of the sword on Samael was affecting her. Her existence was disappearing in the world. - In the End Grevillea can't hold herself anymore because of the injuries she attained in the battle against Samael. As Sandalphon said Grevillea's soul will be saved after all the tragedy. Grevillea makes his final goodbye to Sérignan and Lysa, Grevillea transfers the core of the hive consciousness to Sérignan to become the queen of the Arachnea so that the Swarms would not be confused in her absence.. - Grevillea's consciousness leaves the world, flew far into the sky, and passed through the door there. And at the end of the door was a space enveloped in a gentle light. The Eastern Commercial Union. which was relatively unscathed, and was at the center of the reconstruction of the continent. Arachne takes the territory of the former Maluk Kingdom as its territory and withdraws from the rest. In the uninhabited land of the former Maluk Kingdom, the Swarms worked diligently in dairy farming and industry and played a role in reviving the desolate lands of the continental countries. - In the New World, Arachnea joined forces with the Portrio Republic to begin efforts to return the refugees and rebuild their lives. The refugee camp in Photon, the capital of the Republic of Portrio, was gradually dismantled, and after three years, all the refugees returned home. Arachnea, The army of insects, which was feared at first, has now ceased to wield its fury and has become the cornerstone of peace on the two continents.
Abilities[]
"Yes, I finally found an enemy to defeat." "It's pointless. Praying to God won't change anything."
― Grevillea
Because of Samael the devil, keeps being transported to different Races (Units) and Otherworlder. She picked Grevillea. A college student killed herself (suicide) after playing a game, because of the grief of her parent's death. Grevillea has no ability on her own after she killed herself (suicide) and was transported by Samael as a playing thing while amusing herself by playing the life of the others. Grevillea is good at commanding the Arachnea Unit, that's why Samael picked the system and passed it to Grevillea to command.
Early-game rushes were one viable tactic to achieve victory; lurking behind the faction’s defenses to build up an army big enough to sweep the map was another. Teaching the most expensive units to crush the enemy with punitive force was yet another win condition. So long as you were able to look past their exterior designs, Arachnea units were relatively balanced and well-rounded. I won countless matches with them, even earning victories in some online tournaments. All my consecutive victories with the Arachnea had earned me a moniker among the other players: “BugSis.” I found it to be a rather cute, charming little nickname and liked it a great deal.
Grevillea is an Extraordinary Genius and can orchestrate events on a worldwide scale and her thinking capabilities are also empowered by every Swarm Unit (Numbering over 300 thousand members). Her personality is mostly peaceful, avoiding war if possible. However, due to her connection to the Swarm, she strikes relentlessly at those who do not deserve mercy, slaughtering them, torturing them, and putting their bodies up on display. A cruel general while fighting, who, although cares for her Swarm that dies, will not hesitate to send them to their deaths to win.
"We will tear our enemies to pieces, swallow them, and devour them. No mercy needed. Trample the enemy thoroughly. May Arachnea be victorious."
― Grevillea
The 《Arachnea》 consisted of a race of insects—or rather, its units were more similar to spiders—and its political system was totalitarianism. Its ecological structure was that of a colony built around one queen. As for its military, the Arachnea formed troops that devoured their enemies, leaving only bones behind. They invaded the other factions indiscriminately, never once engaging in diplomacy. If I felt like being a bit cynical, I could even go so far as to label it fascist. But it was the one faction I found easiest to play, and I gradually came to adore its many units. When it came to online matches, I would always pick the Arachnea with fixed devotion.
Arachnids were part of the Swarm, collective troops of the Evil-Arachnea. The brilliant luster of their black, elegantly curved exoskeletons... Sharp, vicious fangs which struck the fear of death into all who witnessed them... Scythe-like appendages that could slice through anyone and anything... Lethal and effective venomous stingers gracing their carapaces... This was the very same Swarm I had spent countless hours nurturing with only the computer monitor separating us. The ones standing in front of me had long, sharp scythes that were disproportionate to their bodies and long, narrow legs. These characteristics belonged to the Ripper Swarms, an easy-to-mass-produce type of Swarm used for early-game rushes. I had used legions of this type of Swarm to smother enemy factions dozens upon dozens of times. No unit could be more nostalgic for me. They even helped secure my win in some tournaments.
The Arachnea (アラクネア), on the other end, lived on meat. It typically gathered meat from hunting grounds, which were generated as part of the map, to increase its unit production. Only Worker Swarms could be produced from gatherable plants, with all other units requiring meat to produce.
All Normal unit Swarms have Predation ability able to produce and survive.
Due to this ability, the Swarm does not feel pain or death. The Swarm are resistant to diseases and poison due to their race, as their race handles poison quotes well. The only exception is the Queen.
The Swarm does not sleep, having endless stamina. The only exception is the Queen.
《Units》
⇒ Swarm Units:
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
― Swarms
Swarm Units have a passive of 《Predation》 the enemy corpses are turned into meatballs by its effect, it can also heal other injured Swarms when they eat flesh. Then it's taken to the meat organ and becomes the material to create the next swarm. The swarm units have a high sensitivity to hearing, they can hear a small pitch of the sound or even vibration.
Ripper Swarm (リッパースワーム)
If I looked beyond the Ripper Swarms (Arachnea’s Anti-army units). They were grotesque but had a beauty of their own, reminiscent of what you might see in a high-quality horror film.
Grevillea doesn't fight herself; she commands the Swarm which grows by devouring others, eating their meat, and rapidly reproducing in special constructs called "Flesh Furnaces". Each Swarm member is connected to the others via the Hive Mind and follows Grevillea's command perfectly. All Swarm except the Arachnea Queen has potent poison.
The Ripper Swarm has very high skill in maneuvering ships. The Ripper Swarm is also skilled in scouts and patrols.
The ripper swarm can release threads. Their tails are imbued with poisons or paralyzed.
Genocide Swarm (ジェノサイドスワーム)
the Genocide Swarm upgraded version of the Ripper Swarm a Vanguard Unit. As its name implied, this type of Swarm was meant for slaughtering the enemy in large numbers, no matter what that enemy might be. A large Swarm with dense, weighty exoskeletons. They had curled fangs like a centipede, and their limbs ended in scythe-like blades that stabbed into the ground. Essentially, these units were the Swarm equivalent of heavy tanks.
As the name suggests, it is a swarm that kills all enemies. whatever the enemy.
There is a big difference between the defense power of the Ripper Swarm and the defense power of the Genocide Swarm. An attack that kills the Ripper Swarm in one hit is ineffective against the Genocide Swarm unless it is repeated dozens of times.
As the defensive power increased, some things were sacrificed, Speed. The Genocide Swarm can only move with massive movements, which seems to be its weak point. Well, maybe it's just that the Ripper Swarm unit is too fast.
Hygenocide Swarm (ハイジェノサイド・スウォーム)
As the name suggests, this swarm is an upper version of the Genocide swarm. Hygenocide Swarm has increased attack, as well as increased movement and toughness. Wraith Knight's cavalry charge won't budge.
This swarm unit is more brutal than the Genocide Swarm and Ripper Swarm. It has resistance to heat and high durability/toughness of the shell that can't break easily. It's still a Vanguard Unit for Arachnea.
I could see some Worker Swarms (Arachnea’s Builder Unit). They were the worker units that built new structures, repaired existing ones, produced siege weapons, and manufactured items (Clothes, Glass, chairs, & etc). I often found myself enchanted with the insectile architecture and design of their constructions.
Worker Swarm does not fight, but instead gathers resources and can construct various building structures, which aids the reproduction and evolution of the Swarm. They are also able to release threads.
Bone Trebuchets (投骨機)
Bone Trebuchets or Bone throwing Machine an Arachnea’s Heavy-Siege machine units. A Siege weapon required gold to unlock, so I could only make the most basic ones (Catapult). A Bone Trebuchet was, as its name implied, a contraption that launched the bones of the dead. It was capable of firing long distances but dealt little damage.
However, it would be more than enough to harass the enemy. It's a specialty of Arachnea, it acts as a catapult instead of stone it throws bones as ammunition. The power is not as great as a siege weapon. This weapon is controlled by two Ripper Swarm or Worker Swarm.
Carrion Cannon (キャリオンキャノン)
The Carrion Cannon launched decayed flesh (rotten flesh). It poisoned any units within the impact zone and caused nearby structures and facilities to decay. Although its firepower was low, those secondary effects were nasty (poison & rot). It was one of my favorite weapons. As for the design, it looked rather like an insect and was adorned with decaying flesh. Like most Arachnea constructions, the thing was pretty grotesque. It is an upgraded version of Bone Trebuchets.
The most basic Swarm Siege weapon, they fire rotten flesh to the enemy, causing damage to both living and nonliving things alike. The living units are also poisoned and contract diseases, which result in their death in a short amount of time.
The secondary effects of the Carrion Cannon, poisoning surrounding units and continuous damage to buildings shake the ramparts, causing them to collapse.
Digger Swarms (ディッカースワーム)
There were also some Digger Swarms (Arachnea’s Anti-army units) next to them. Their production cost was higher than that of the Ripper Swarms, but in exchange, they were capable of a unique action—burrowing underground and digging their way into the enemy’s base. They were meant for surprise attacks and were fairly difficult to use. Once mastered, however, Digger Swarms would prove to be dependable units capable of felling entire strongholds without the aid of any siege.
The basic infantry of the Arachnea Race. Ripper Swarms are mobile bugs as tall as a human which look like a mix of a spider and a scorpion. They have huge fangs (their fangs are as big as the arm of a human) which tear apart through steel armor with ease. Especially resistant to piercing attacks.
Basically, Ripper Swarms can burrow underground. They can be summoned right under the opponent, drag them underground and drown them under the earth or catch the enemy off guard and grab their legs, immobilizing them. They are powerful enough to immobilize an Angel.
Parasite Swarm (パラサイトスワーム)
The Parasite Swarm (Arachnea’s Scout units) latched onto its victims, turning them into puppets that obeyed any orders its master—or mistress, in my case—gave. If I were to order him to commit suicide, this man would take any measures possible to kill himself. They were like zombies. Eventually, they would be able to walk normally, but since the Parasite Swarms had only just been planted, they weren’t yet functioning effectively. I’d need to keep that in mind the next time I use them. If our enemies could tell what had happened to victims of the Parasite Swarms, the unit would go to waste.
Small Swarms that look like a spider. Palm-sized, they are forced into the enemy, taking over their body and staying in the target's throat, having tentacles reach the brain. The victim still has their perception, but no control over their body whatsoever.
Toxic / Poison Swarms (ポイズンスワーム)
One of Arachnea’s long-range units or Rearguard Unit. Once we had gathered enough souls, I had finally been able to unlock them. The Toxic Swarms were capable of something the Ripper Swarms, Digger Swarms, Parasite Swarms, and Masquerade Swarms were not: attacking from a distance. The Toxic Swarms obediently swung their large tails and fired what looked like arrows from the tips.
Those arrows pierced into the downed opponent like a ballistic arrow. Legend has it that the poison in their tails is capable of downing a dragon. Not sure if that’s true, but it’s still a pretty powerful toxin. I doubt anything that takes the brunt of it would get away unscathed.
ChemicalSwarms (ケミカルスワームだ)
ChemicalSwarms (Arachnea’s Long-Range & Support Units). These Swarms inflicted greater poison damage than any other unit, and they were even capable of healing their allies. They were a complete upgrade version of the Toxic Swarms.
The Chemical Swarm can fire multiple needles, it may look like rain, but it is a poisonous needle. When contact with the opponent it will rot the body, the needle doesn't pierce armor equipment or even a shield.
The Chemical swarm can reproduce liquified poison and it is used in arrows.
Fire Swarms (ァイアスワーム)
Fire Swarms Arachnea’s Long-Range Units. A Fire Swarm possessed two abilities.
First, it could spew a high-temperature gas at the enemy (radioactive flame). The attack was powerful, but its damage per second was low. If an Arachnea player wasn’t careful, her Fire Swarms might be killed before they could defeat the enemy.
Secondly, this Swarm could self-destruct. It shared this ability with the Masquerade Swarm but far exceeded it in sheer firepower. One burst could easily destroy an enemy’s defensive fortifications.
Flame Swarms (フレイムスワーム)
The Flame Swarm is a higher-grade version of the Fire Swarm, and has improved self-destruction and flamethrower power, it's still the same as Fire Swarm a Long-range Unit. It's a perfect substitute for blowing away a large crowd of puppets.
The improved Self-destruct is a more devastating attack from a flame swarm, rather than a fire swarm.
Flap Swarms (フラップスワーム)
The Flap Swarms an Arachnea’s Airborne Units (a Dragon-like Swarm) produced by Aerial Flesh Nest, would likely be no match for the wyverns. Nevertheless, having this unit able to be eyes in the sky would be a major advantage in battle.
The Flap Swarms are very ferocious in the sky, they can't breathe fire like a dragon but they have claws that can rip a wyvern in half. Flap Swarm has low attack power but can move at high speed and has a certain amount of power when flocked together
Dreadnought Swarm (ドレッドノートスワーム)
Dreadnought Swarm an Arachnea’s Heavy units. The Dreadnought Swarm was a ground-based battleship. It looked like a rhinoceros beetle with countless, centipede-like legs. It was four times the lindwyrm’s size (Behemoth size), and it moved thirty times slower from a Genocide Swarm.
Attack power is the highest level in the game if you remove the hero unit. The Dreadnought Swarm is unstoppable in sieging the walls because of its durability of this swarm.
The Black Skin (toughness) of the Dreadnought Swarm can take the fire breath of a wyvern even a magic offensive spell or a ballista can't harm the Dreadnought Swarm.
Vice Queen Swarm (ヴァイスクイーンスワーム)
Vice Queen Swarm is an Archanea's Carrier Unit. The shape resembles a bee. A giant bee. However, its lower body was like a honeycomb, not one with poisonous needles sticking out. The beehive is also huge, so big that a whole person can fit in one hole.
The ability of this Vice Queen Swarm is an ability that can be called an aircraft carrier that can fly with a large number of flap swarms loaded in its honeycomb-like organs.
Vice Queen Swarm can store 30 flap swarms, and it also has the effect of automatically replenishing flap swarms if they are lost in an attack.
⇒ Hero Unit:
"Knight Swarm, at your service... My Queen!"
― Knight Swarm Sérignan
A Special Unit with a unique name and history... Because only one can be produced per campaign. If it gains enough experience points and evolves into a higher unit, its strength will be formidable.
Knight SwarmSérignan (ナイトスワーム・セリニアン)
The creature that emerged was another type of Swarm, only this one had the upper half of a human and the lower half of an insectile Swarm. It had ruby-red eyes and white, braided hair that spilled over its back. The Knight Swarm’s upper half was covered in white armor, and it had a longsword sheathed at its waist. It gave the immediate impression of a knight. This was the Knight Swarm Sérignan, a different unit from the Ripper Swarms. It was something called a hero unit. By gaining experience points, it was capable of becoming even more powerful, eventually growing into a one-man army that could topple the game’s balance. That said, each faction could produce one hero unit, and only once; as such, the chosen unit had to be carefully raised and protected. Upping its experience points without it dying was a more formidable task than it seemed at first glance.
Like all of the factions’ hero units, the Knight Swarm Sérignan had its backstory. This unit’s backstory was that it was a knight who had been exiled for defending a pagan child, eventually coming under the protection of Arachnea’s queen. Like all of the factions’ hero units, the Knight Swarm Sérignan had its backstory. This unit’s backstory was that it was a knight who had been exiled for defending a pagan child, eventually coming under the protection of Arachnea’s queen. The Knight Swarm Sérignan standing before me had a certain androgynous beauty but a distinctly feminine face, and I could see that she had breasts under her armor.
Skill: 《Camouflage skill》[This skill will be gained after the 2nd Evolution] 《Mimesis skill》: A skill certain available only in the Arachnea Hero unit, Skill can change into Human form to hide the Arachnea Race. 《Holy Sword of Destruction》: A sacred treasure befitting of a fallen holy knight a demon blade that can cut through light. 《Evolution》:The Knight Swarm’s evolved form is called the Bloody Knight Swarm. Imagine yourself clad in red armor; that’ll be your new form.” The Knight Swarm’s evolved form is called the Bloody Knight Swarm. Imagine yourself clad in red armor; that’ll be your new form.” When she became the Bloody Knight Swarm Sérignan, she would not only have new coloration and an additional pair of legs, but she’d also receive a huge stat boost. As an intermediate unit, she would defeat most enemies with one blow. To begin with, Sérignan was considered a strong hero unit that required slightly fewer experience points to level up than other hero units, and she had slightly higher stats. This was balanced out by the fact that toward the endgame, she needed more experience points to advance and her stats didn’t increase quite as much. Still, once she reached her final form, she reigned overall as one of the highest-ranked units in the game. Sérignan was one major reason why Arachnea had so much potential as a faction. Raising Sérignan properly meant eventually getting a unit capable of breaking the game’s balance.
White/Pale Knight Swarm 2nd Evolution of Sérignan. It's a beautiful figure with its whole body covered in pure white armor, she can do a special ability a [Howl] that can paralyze any opponent, as such she has a skill for [riding] and she has a boost in speed.
After she tries to defend the Majesty from Hessian, The Headless Knight. Sérignan evolved again to her final form Dark Knight Swarm, the armor she wears turns black and gives her a massive boost of strength & durability.
Masquerade Swarm (マスカレードスワーム)
Masquerade Swarm (Arachnea’s Scout units) and part of hero units. In terms of fighting power, a Masquerade Swarm was the same as a Ripper Swarm, but it had double the creation cost. In exchange, however, it had a very important ability. At my order, the man’s face split in half, revealing two massive fangs. Insectile legs extended out from his back, and his—or rather, its legs turned into a pair of venomous stingers. With its transformation complete, it stood before us in the unmistakable form of a Swarm. It’s a special unit capable of sneaking into enemy territory disguised as another faction’s worker unit and causing disruption and chaos from the inside. The Masquerade Swarm’s special ability was Mimesis. but the only generic units capable of using Mimesis were Masquerade Swarm.
A Swarm is used mainly for infiltration, hence having low stats (but still enough to be as strong as a human knight). Has a special ability called Mimesis (which Lysa and Sérignan can also use) to turn into a human. Even with appraisal, their race cannot be found out and their special ability is blending with the humans and then self-destructing to cause discord. As their explosions can be seen from all around the city, they should be at least Building Level.
Grevillea gave Maska for Masquerade Swarm to hide the identity when he/she scouted the information from a certain continent. It doesn't have any evolution traits, this unit can produce gained when it dies in battle, and its only purpose is a scout, disrupt, and gain information from other factions.
Skill: 《Mimesis skill》: A skill certainly available only in the Arachnea Hero unit but Masquerade Swarm is a special unit able to use the skill. Skill can change into Human form to hide the Arachnea Race. In addition, the special ability of the Masquerade swarm was 《Self-destruction》. The destruction of the special ability of the Masquerade swarm is like a nuke. 《Camouflage skill》
《Buildings》
Buildings created by the Worker Swarms.
Power Organ (動力器官を)
The power plant or Power Organ was the standard power energy source production facility used by Swarms. The power plant produces 100 power units. This amount is less than sufficient to run a large base, meaning that the more buildings a base has, the more power plants it requires to maintain full functionality. Power output is directly related to the power plant's condition, so it must be protected from enemy fire. Low Power decreases production efficiency by 50% so keep them maintained.
Fertilization Furnace (施肥炉)
It still had a working power plant, a Fertilization Furnace, and a flesh depository. I had even built some of our newly unlocked structures and facilities here, but I didn’t plan to use them until later down the line. At the moment, we don’t have enough resources for them to start producing units. This Building can make over 5,000 swarms at any minute.
Research unlocked new units and structures. Research required gold and souls, though different types of research required different amounts and varieties of resources. Developing new units required souls, while new structures required gold. Some factions were exceptions, though; those who used golems needed gold to unlock those units, and ghost-type factions used souls to unlock their structures.
Swarm Unit and Hero Unit Production
These structures have functioned on something similar to the game’s mechanics, and we could utilize teleportation magic to move a large swarm of meat to the base.
Flesh Depositories/Flesh Organ (肉臓庫) [Meat ball] where they would be used to produce more Swarms units (Worker, Digger Swarm, etc.)
Massive Fertilization Furnaces Upgrade version of normal Fertilization Furnace it double the size of it and it faster the production making for the swarms. This upgraded version the capable of creating a swarm as much as normal fertilization furnaces, it can do more than 100,000 and can create in only a second.
Converter Furnace (転炉)
Converter Furnace ” I said, walking over to a nearby structure.“ It turns other living beings (animals or Beast) into Swarms. I built it thinking we could capture wild animals like bears, wolves, or even monsters, and forcibly turn them into Swarms. This was one of the new structures I’d asked the Worker Swarms to build. Its primary function was transforming non-arachnid units into Swarms. If I were to use it on bears, for instance, they would become Swarms that had bear-like traits; if I used it on wolves, I would end up with Swarms that had an especially keen sense of smell. The transformed units would also be loyal to me, since becoming a Swarm linked them to the collective consciousness.

The Countless Swarms 《Hive mind Core》 even though they are all different individuals, all talk the same way, because they form a collective consciousness centered around the queen. The swarm syncs their minds and shares with the queen. Due to all of them being a part of a Hive Mind, including the "dead" members, the experience and knowledge of every Swarm is also acquired by all the members of it, allowing them to adapt to attacks, and act immediately and with perfect cooperation. Due to this, all kinds of information are shared through the collective consciousness, including information from all the senses, experiences, and thoughts. The Swarm have absolute faith in their Queen and follow her orders even if it means to die. If one connects to the Give Mind, they are being swallowed up and made part of it.
