[LEVEL 073/250] [EXP 156.433.128.427/400.000.000.000]
Today I woke up quite fine, there were not any weird dreams this time, and no G.o.ds showed up to let me eat their souls.
Amiphossia was excited as her ghost companions would get an "upgrade". Although they are leveling up quite fast compared to anything, she feels that they are still too slow, so a forced evolution could help them out.
It was convenient that I had already gotten the [Forced Evolution Induction] Skill after evolving Mao, Guubo, and Wall previously. Perhaps forcibly evolving a being that has not reached the max level was one of such requirements.
Coupled with this Skill, there were the Chaos Attribute Spells that I had recently learned after the Magic leveled up, the "Genetic Disorder" and "Chaotic Mutation" Spells.
These Spells used the power of the Chaos Attribute to change the order of things and alter their existence by chaotically making their genes mutate. Evolution is granted by the system after its mysterious powers make our bodies mutate by themselves into completely new races, most of the time.
For example, when I went from a b.u.t.terfly to a humanoid fairy, a pretty big mutation was needed, which was usually influenced by whatever the System uses. I suspect that it is Divine Energy and special powers and authorities that the World"s Will wields.
However, I have also heard that monsters some demi-human were able to evolve before the System existed, but such evolutions seemed more "normal" and were tied with the Mortal Realm Rank. Whenever a being reached a certain amount of power that the body couldn"t sustain, it would induce an evolution, the body would strengthen itself enough to sustain the user"s acc.u.mulated power and magic and open more s.p.a.ce to sustain and acc.u.mulate more.
In this way, most Mortals raised into G.o.dhood in the past… this info was given to me by Agatheina. She did not know the origins of the Demon G.o.ds in much detail, but she knew that they were all originally monsters of the lowest ranks that evolved continuously to raise above mortals through these techniques. Some learned such power by themselves and others were taught how to "evolve" like this.
In a way, the "Forced Evolution" that I am capable of giving to others is something that mixes both the Old Evolution and the System"s Existence Evolution. It"s usually easier to forcefully evolve those who have acc.u.mulated great amounts of power in the form of high leveled skills, spells, magic, soul rank, stats, and so on, but I can also compensate for it with materials, to a certain extent.
Like it happened with Mao, as she was synthesized with Legendary Rank Materials and drank a Legendary Blood Potion of a monster that had a great affinity with her, she evolved once again, not even a month had pa.s.sed when she was "forcibly evolved" by me by merging smiles with her.
I thought about the idea of merging slimes with Amiphossia"s ghost as well. A slime capability such as shapes.h.i.+fting, high regeneration, maneuverability, and so on are highly beneficial. Yurei is still the only Phantom Slime in the entire Empire, and she was born after Synthesizing together some Slimes and Ghosts I enslaved in the Water Shrine Dungeon.
The best Slimes to fuse with them would be my own Slime Clones, as they possess the most powers, abilities, and latent talent, but I fear that Seis.h.i.+n and Sesshomaru would end up evolving into women, similar to what happened to Mao, despite them being males.
I wondered if it was fine for them to do this… But then again, they probably will not mind as long as they grow strong for Amiphossia.
It is also an interesting experiment that I want to do once again… Something deep within me really wants to do it.
"You guys will finally evolve! I can"t wait to see your new and powered-up versions!" said Amiphossia as she opened her Item Box and retrieved several corpses and dropped items and materials of monsters that we hunted yesterday.
I had tried to invite Redgaria to this meeting, but he seemed too busy investigation Megusan"s egg, so I let him be. It is beneficial if he comes out with any knowledge or insights from that investigation.
"Uwah… I am so nervous… Although I have gained a lot of EXP, I"ve hit a wall where I need a tremendous amount to evolve! Are these the "progression walls" that Zehe-sama always talks about?" Geraldine asked, sitting down in the middle of the room.
We were currently with Amiphossia and her party alone in a designed room for "forced evolutions". No bystanders aside from the subjects were here, as it would greatly mess things up if they were to interrupt me.
"Don"t worry, Geraldine! Mommy knows a lot about this. Haven"t you seen Wall-chan, Guubo-chan, and Mao-chan? All of them were evolved by her own hands! Actually, she created Guubo and Wall!"
"Y-Yes Amiphossia-sama… I"ve heard about them… wait, she created them?!" asked Geraldine, she didn"t seem to know this bit of truth.
"I would ask you to remain silent for the time being, Geraldine… You are an Undead so pain is almost non-existent for you, but this may itch you a bit" I said, as I grabbed on the fur, claws, fangs, bones, and other organs of the Kasha Boss in the Dungeon.
After the Dungeon was affected by my Attributes, all of the bosses underwent "evolutions" to match such attributes, and now the Kasha, the giant Blazing Cat had the power to manipulate Black Flames and had strong Illusion Attribute Magic.
Geraldine"s new body was made with the remains of her bones and a large amount of the Kasha materials, such as its flesh, fur, fangs, bones, and so on, alongside the Yokai-type Nekomata monsters Magic Cores.
Geraldine"s body was rather pet.i.te, smaller than me, so synthesizing such large pieces of materials into her body would end up in a strange form for her, before the evolution triggered and she absorbed all the materials merged into her body.
The fur, claws, fangs, and bones were synthesized into her body, and she began to resemble a twisting and grotesque ma.s.s of materials.
"Uhh… Isn"t there a better way to do this…?" asked s.h.i.+rohibe.
"I"m doing it in the best way possible, by synthesizing each piece in the designed area, such as fangs in her mouth, claws in her hands, and so on"
"Nya… My entire body looks like a meatball" Geraldine muttered, as I kept synthesizing materials into her body until her face was completely covered in twisting flesh, fur, claws, and eyes.
"Hm, we could also add the Electricity-generating organ of the Zapping Flying Cats that live in the Grand Forest," said Amiphossia, giving me a large liver-like organ extracted from a Zapping Flying Cat Emperor.
"We"ll also add Fire, Ice, Chaos, Illusion and Thunder Attribute Mana, solidified into jewels," I said, as I generate them through my Creation Skill from my bare hand, mixing them over the ma.s.s of materials that were once Geraldine.
"Now, the slimes… She is an Undead, so we"ll add the Undead Slimes and Venomous Phantom Slimes that had begun to sp.a.w.n in your dungeon, my daughter…"
"Oh, those!"
As I merged the slimes, which were previously enslaved by me, I created a few of my Lesser Slime Clones, which possessed no will or intelligence, merging them together with Geraldine.
"I will also give her my Orbs… just because it"s your servant, Ami," I said, as I extracted the Orbs in my flesh and soul, which quickly regenerated as if nothing, I did this around ten times, mixing the orbs in Geraldine"s twisting meatball-like body.
"This should be all… Hmm! She"s already exuding amazing energy…" said Amiphossia, patting Geraldine. The rest of the party was seeing this scene in silence, completely terrified.
"Nyaaa… Ugh… This… feels… weird…" muttered Geraldine.
"I feel like I am Doctor Frankenstein creating the new next invention in history! I think I"ve awakened a new hobby" I said, as I activated the Chaos Attribute Spells [Genetic Disorder], [Chaotic Mutation], and the [Forced Evolution Induction] Skill.
"Huh? Whose Doctor… Frankenstein?" asked Amiphossia.
A dark light engulfed Geraldine"s body as her entire body twisted around, creating cracking noises. The dark light covered her entire body and merged itself with her, a new aura was generated from within the twisting ma.s.s of flesh.
Flas.h.!.+
"NYAAAAAAAA!" shouted Geraldine… as the evolution was done in a few seconds.
"It"s alive!"
"No, it"s an Undead, mom"
"Ah, that"s true"
A dark, and twisting aura covered the room, there were both cold, warmness and strange mirages appearing and disappearing, until the entire aura was absorbed back in Geraldine"s body.
"Nya? I am back to normal? Ah! I changed!" Geraldine began to admire her new body, as Amiphossia and the rest of the ghost team glanced with awe how a deformed and mutated ball of flesh and slime once again took on a refined humanoid form. It is likely that the effects of [Chimera Holy Mother] also made these changes possible with more ease.
Geraldine"s appearance had remained mostly, with a few changes. Her height had increased by around twenty centimeters, she was almost as tall as me now. All of the flesh and materials that made her resemble a giant meatball were miraculously absorbed by her body. Her fangs grew sharper as her claws became dark-colored. Her skin became pale blue, with several dark tattoos.
She had two tails now, one was orange colored and the other blue colored, each one having a dark end. She had dark and dark blue fur covering her paws and feet, and her cat ears grew larger with these fur colors. Her left eye turned purple-colored and exuded Illusion Attribute Mana.
Form her paws and feet, electricity would be generated whenever she rubbed them together, with enough intent, she could create black lightning and increase her speed tremendously. She did not show any Chaos Attribute Spell, but her mana was mixed with the mana of this attribute. Her formerly bright orange flames became dark, and so did her ice.
Her appearance did not fully mature, and she still resembled a young girl in her early twenties. Her hips did wide a little bit, and her breast increased in size. She also exuded a new and alluring charm.
She possessed two Orbs in each of her arms, alongside another in her forehead, these orbs had the power to acc.u.mulate Mana inside and spells as well. She was not able to create an armor-like me though.
Geraldine"s new race t.i.tle was "Thunderous Freezing h.e.l.lcat Princess".
"I am a Princess now?! Is it because I used to be royalty in Athetosea in the past, nya?"
"Well, maybe"
"Ah~! Geraldine, you are so cute! Let me grab you!" said Amiphossia as she grabbed Geraldine and caressed her fur, which was as hard as adamantine.
The next subject was chosen to be s.h.i.+rohibe!
She used to be one of the Yokai King, Ashura"s concubines, but she is now a loyal companion of my daughter and it"s probably in love with her as well due to her strong Charm with Phantasmal and Ghost beings.
Unlike Geraldine, s.h.i.+rohibe wasn"t given a new body through a ritual, she was born as a s.h.i.+rohibe, a race of Lamia-type Yokai.
With Amiphossia, we decided to add on the materials harvested from the Giant Poison Snakes in the Desert Biome of Morpheus"s Life Attribute Dungeon. Coupled with Yiksukesh"s Scales, fangs, venom, and her blood, which she gave to us after transforming back into her Snake form.
She agreed after I offered her a large Cake made by Rimuru. Although I could have just ordered her, I did not want to be in bad terms with her, if possible. Well, if she were to refuse, I would have forced her though.
Aside from these materials, there was also the Wild Desert Lamias that sometimes sp.a.w.n in the Desert Biome of the Forsaken Labyrinth. To top it all, we also added several phantoms and wild Yokai monsters. My orbs were also included, alongside Phantom Spirit Stones.
Unlike Geraldine, s.h.i.+rohibe did feel more than just itching, as I synthesized the materials into her body. It was not pain, but it felt "overwhelmingly disgusting", as she said.
"T-This is… too much… Ah! P-Please, finish this… ugh" She muttered, as her body was beginning to resemble a snake-shaped twisting ma.s.s of merged materials.
I finished by adding Amiphossia"s scales and blood, which she offered, alongside my Phantom Slime Clones. Then I activated the Chaos Attribute Spells and the Forced Evolution Induction Skill as her body began to s.h.i.+ne brightly in a phantasmagoric mist.
"T-This! Such energy… I"m being born anew!" shouted s.h.i.+rohibe as she released moans of pleasure… for some reason.
