Chapter Begins:
An overgrown Facehugger suspended in the green-yellow solution within the cylindrical tube.
This was the scene.
The strange thing wasn't the presence of the image of an alien species here, but it being observed by Lord Voldemort himself, his slitted pupils narrowing with every passing moment.
On his side, connected through the distant link of Ad Infinitum, was Kai Stormborn as the Yellow Warlock. He too had his eyes on the alien specimen.
Royal Facehugger was the reward Kai had gotten after clearing the 1st Stage of the Tournament of Worth. Moreover, it wasn't some random reward. Kai had sacrificed his Advance Cold Suppression Ability to get it, after already obtaining the Yautja Genes.
As Kai looked at the terrible thing suspended within the solution, information regarding it involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Ranking Reward: Royal Facehugger
1. The Royal Facehugger, or Queen Facehugger, is a special variant of Facehugger that can implant an embryonic Queen by impregnating a host with a Queen Chestburster
2. Royal Facehuggers can implant over one embryo into multiple hosts before they die, typically as a second, regular Xenomorph embryo, which serves as a "guard" for the infant Queen (Current Capacity: 1 Queen embryo, 2 Queensguards embryo)
3. After fully grown, the Queen will have an equivalent grade of D+, being a non-magical creature herself. She will be capable of laying 100 eggs. The Warrior Xenomorph grown from these eggs will each have an equivalent grade of E+
4. The 2 Queensguards Xenomorph will have an equivalent grade of D-
WARNING:
1. Royal Facehugger can only be used in a Random World
2. Only the Queen Xenomorph will obey the Contestant's commands absolutely
3. The Hive formed by the Queen, her 2 Queensguards, and 100 Warrior Xenomorphs has a threat level equivalent to an above-average 6th-floor Contestant.

…
Even before clearing the 3rd Stage and winning the Tournament of Worth, Kai had made extensive plans related to the Queen Facehugger and the Hive thus formed using her.
However, 1300 years spent in Island X, and then the Set Assimilation later on, had made drastic changes to those plans.
Ultimately, when Ad Infinitum birthed in Kai's mind, it only quickened those changed plans, instead of discarding them.
One thing was obvious, though.
With the overall Mission Difficulty level of Harry Potter Random World now raised to C+, the threat level of an above-average 6th-floor Contestant really wasn't much. Unless…
Unless… Kai's gaze landed on the bloody, mutated corpses, and the corners of his lips lifted in a grin.
"An alien species?" Lord Voldemort hissed.
Kai wasn't surprised that the Dark Lord instantly figured out the origin of the hideous creature suspended within the green-yellow solution. Lord Voldemort had roamed far and wide, unearthing the greatest mysteries of this world during his missing years. For him to not know most of the magical species would be an utter shame.
Kai nodded under the yellow hood.
-Fool thinks he can conquer the world with one ugly thing… Haha!- The Dark Lord chuckled, hissing.
Kai twisted his neck and stared at the tiny, weakened creature. -Only a fool judges an experiment before seeing the test results.- he hissed back.
The Dark Lord, now purely stunned, met the Yellow Warlock's gaze. -You are a Parselmouth.-
Kai didn't deign to answer, ignoring the Lead Character. So what if he was Lord Voldemort? If it was before spending thousands of years on Island X, then Kai would have felt a bit of pressure in his presence. Now he only felt pity.
For Kai, his plans came first. It didn't matter who he must manipulate or ally himself with. As long as he got the results he wanted to see, everything was acceptable.
So, even though he ignored the Dark Lord, he also sent the info regarding the Royal Facehugger directly to the wizard's mind. Of course, he scratched off anything that related the Facehugger to the Primordial Tower or a reward of the Systems.
On the other side, the more Lord Voldemort read about the alien species, the more his broken breathing roughened. -It isn't enough,- he hissed, as if pleased to talk in Parseltongue after a long time. There was an air of supremacy in his voice as he hissed, along with the barest touch of regard. -Even a Hogwarts student can take care of such a creature.-
Kai knew the Dark Lord was talking about the Warrior Xenomorph. He also knew the fellow Parselmouth was right.
Regardless of the Xenomorphs' survival and lethal abilities, they would be only 100 in number… and non-magical. Unless…
-Unless…- Kai hissed, eying the bloody mess again, smiling. - … we can turn them into Magical Beings.-
Lord Voldemort's eyes lit up. They didn't need much magic. Perhaps the natural resistance to the Stunners? The barest hint of magic? The things he could do with only 10 of such magical beings were beyond imagination. What kind of havoc could he wreak with a hundred of them?!
Not to mention, these were not just mindless animals, but a part of a Hive, being able to be controlled and manipulated by a single entity.
The Dark Lord was about to ask the main question when Kai hissed, cutting him off. -I have been researching in these years. If the Magical Folks can become Muggles… then the reverse shouldn't be impossible, either.-
Lord Voldemort's tiny body shivered.
Boom!!!
The entire mind structure shook, the tombstones coming alive, the fog becoming poison. -Nonsense!- the Dark Lord thundered, bringing his entire magical might onto the Yellow Warlock.
Kai remained unperturbed. He merely looked at Voldemort as if he was looking at a child.
-This alliance…- Kai hissed, word after word, -… will not… be based upon… your ego and pretentious anger… Lord Voldemort…-
Magical might rippled the space around them, giving Professor Quirrell a bloody nose outside as he made his way to the Gringotts.
The Dark Lord twisted his lips in pure disgust as his weakened body shook under the billowing, black robes. -How much do you know?-
Kai nonchalantly shrugged, his yellow robe flailing without wind behind him. -Enough,- he hissed. -In ancient times, Magical Folks began losing their resonance with Nature, simultaneously losing their ability to cast magic. These non-magical folks were later termed as… Squibs.-
The disgust on Lord Voldemort's face deepened.
Kai smirked. -From Squibs came all the Muggles,- he continued. -The Magical Folks buried that part of the history, of course. A commendable and reasonable decision. However…-
Kai looked at the bloody pool of mutated corpses, making the Dark Lord look at it, too.
-… However, it's one thing to not able to cast magic,- Kai hissed, almost smiling. -It's another thing entirely to have the Magical Folks as their ancestors. Haha! I have been trying to reverse-engineer the genes responsible for the Magic in the wizarding folks, while simultaneously searching for the dormant genes in the Muggles.-
"Humph!" Voldemort snorted. "You sound like a damn Muggle!"
"You should try. It's good for ego," Kai jested. "Perhaps that's why you lost the war and became something… like this. Haha!"
The Dark Lord gritted his teeth. -And?- he hissed, asking the Yellow Warlock to continue.
Kai looked at him, smiling. -It's impossible…- he hissed. But before Voldemort could let out a smirk, Kai continued. -… in the case of Muggles who are 4th Generation or above of the first Squib in the magical family. For the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation… Haha! I need 5 more years…-
Lord Voldemort… despite absolutely loathing the idea of depending on the Muggles… felt a rush of lost excitement in his boneless body. -Let me guess,- he hissed, unable to control himself as his brilliant, insidious mind raced, -you want to unleash these Magical Xenomorphs… on the Muggles…-
-Magnificent!- Kai praised. -Imagine. Imagine the entire World getting to know the presence of the Wizarding Community hiding under their very noses just before getting attacked by the greatest magical army of an alien species… Haha! What do you think will happen?-
This was all the Dark Lord ever wanted.
Why must the Wizarding Folks hide, when they were clearly the superior in status and bloodline than the Muggles? Why must they stop themselves at the magical doors and cower under the idea of death, when they could step into the unexplored grounds of ancient magic?
Voldemort's slitted eyes lit up for the first time in eternity, his body now shaking in excitement. -You said to ditch this foolish Quirrell…-
Kai let out a genuine grin.
Even though he was manipulating the Dark Lord, for the first time, in many years, he felt like he was talking with a friend. The way Voldemort just understood his intentions… was something in itself.
-Yes,- Kai hissed, sounding pleased. -I need a strong specimen for my Royal Facehugger. Professor Quirrell is not the strongest, but he's a Hogwarts Teacher, nonetheless. He will suffice just fine.-
Lord Voldemort and Kai Stormborn observed each other, their hidden slitted pupils under the hooded robes glowing vilely.
Suddenly, two glasses of red wine appeared on the black mirror-finished table on the opposite ends.
-We have much to discuss,- Voldemort hissed, flying back to his seat. -Just one thing. Did you really… release… him?-
Kai chuckled. -What do you think?- he hissed, looking at the bloody, mutated mess.
The Dark Lord eyed the unnamed being sitting opposite him and smiled.
As the vilest alliance finally took place in the Harry Potter Random World, things suddenly became too much interesting… for both of them.
