I don't think Anthony becoming a queen would be in the Colony's best interest. In order to become a decent queen he would have to invest significant skill points and biomass into his egg laying organ. This would negatively impact his other aspects that he is rather fond of E.G. his shiny carapace, magic, gravity gland, business district... All that compromise would likely make him ineligible to become an ancient similar to the Mother Tree who lost the interest of the dungeon when she created her family. Of course if it's just a last resort, then investing all his resources into not letting the Colony die and keeping himself alive would be in the Colony's best interest. He can consider becoming a queen after the Colony is wiped out.

Thanks for the chapter.

It'd be funny if the colony decides to forgive Jim or give him a light punishment to show how alien their sense of justice is.

Thanks

That was in a different universe where the underworld wasn't sealed.
