Boom boom!
The cocoon rocks like a heartbeat, emitting its own vitality . Powerful mutants are watching from hundreds of meters from the cocoon . Red Eye’s group is among them .
They are in the last position .
In the front, Blood Lord created a wall with his subordinates .
Shouldn’t they be at the frontmost position?
No .
Beholder said that when the cocoon wakes up, they need to figure out how much strength it has and what it is thinking before it makes contact .
To do that, they need to be in a safe place . What if it has the strength of White Queen and impure intentions?
They need to run away .
They created the wall in order to buy time to run away .
“Hey . Stop moving . ”
Beholder speaks while on Blood Lord’s back .
When Blood Lord moved, it felt like he was riding a large wave . Beholder is slow, so he needs to get on Blood Lord’s back if he wants to run away . Blood Lord had refused in the beginning, but later allowed it after much convincing .
“Is it finally coming out?”
“I don’t have a good feeling . I feel like something’s going to happen . ”
Inferno looks at the cocoon negatively .
It is disagreeable .
There’s no guarantee that it will become their ally as it had done before .
There isn’t a guarantee that something will happen, but their feeling that it is the latter is stronger .
“Hee hee! We wouldn’t have worried like this if Her Highness had been here, right?”
Inferno nods . There is trust in his action .
“It’s ripping . ”
Red Eye spreads his wings . Inferno and Blood Lord also got ready . Whether it is to run away or for battle .
Beholder focused his mind .
The beating grew stronger and a clear liquid seeped out from the ripped gap . As more rips formed, the amount of liquid increased .
It looks similar to the amniotic fluid that bursts out of a mother when a baby is born .
Flap flap flap!
Red Eye **** a huge pair of wings and flies near the cocoon . He is trying to capture any oddities from a wide view .
Through the rip, something similar to an organism’s eye passed by . Red Eye hadn’t been able to figure out what it was either because it went by hurriedly .
‘Is it him?’
The only thing inside the cocoon is Parasite King . If what Red Eye saw isn’t wrong, it will be Parasite King’s eye .
The cocoon swells . It inflates like a balloon right before it is about to pop . It is a close call . Red Eye looks at it in suspicion .
Mutants are generally born when they rip out of their eggs and cocoons . It is far from the concept of exploding like this .
There are individual differences and this wild appearance could be a process of its birth, but could it be from instinct?
It doesn’t feel so .
The expanding cocoon wriggles .
It looks like veins hidden inside the skin are moving . It isn’t constant . They move around at random .
Boom boom boom!
The cocoon rips like fabric because of the intense movement .
Has it reached its limit?
Red Eye saw the form through the rip .
‘A bug?’
Parasite King, the king of helminths .
The helminth he produces has the basic appearance of a bug .
That’s right . It is a bug .
There are other parasites besides Parasite King inside the cocoon .
He suddenly wondered why .
There doesn’t have to be a reason for why a king is creating a family, but Red Eye still thought about it .
‘It’ll expand and burst . If it bursts? What about the parasites?’
It will burst . That means it will explode . What if it explodes? They’ll scatter .
Parasites scattering?
Red Eye looks down .
Blood Lord’s family that has created a defensive line, and Inferno’s group behind them . They are in danger .
“Get back!”
Bang bang bang!
Did it read Red Eye’s mind?
As soon as he opened his mouth, the cocoon exploded and spit out tens of thousands of parasites .
***
Parasite King experienced various stages of turmoil when he absorbed Cruel King . Looking at the results, Cruel King is just his host .
But according to the order of the ecosystem, Parasite King is the prey and Cruel King is the predator .
That means the weaker body ate the stronger body . In a world where the future isn’t clear, a reversal situation isn’t surprising . Even with an ultra high level mutant .
Cruel King is strong, but Parasite King isn’t weak . A lucky level 1 beat an unlucky level 2 .
There was no issue absorbing the body .
The problem was mentality .
He had already taken over, so it wasn’t overwhelming to take over a level 9 body or mind, but the real fallout came after absorption .
An ultra high level mutant’s powerful sense of self . Cruel King is dead, but everything he saw and felt is contained in his brain . Parasite King absorbed all of this during the fusion process .
Because of that, Cruel King’s sense of self had a large impact on his own self of self . Parasite King was normally not very greedy . Mutants are living beings too . Personalities differ between friends and family members . The reticent Parasite King likes quiet .
But Cruel King is the complete opposite . He is oppressive, ambitious, and selfish . He hates the world, so he doesn’t trust anyone .
That strong sense of self went into Parasite King . He didn’t become Cruel King or anything like that because he is still the subject of the mind and body .
Ambition – what he gained was ambition .
No matter how much he likes the quiet and peaceful life, he is bound to have at least a single ambition .
Even if it is a small one . Cruel King’s sense of self tampered with that .
Survival and reproduction .
Parasite King’s fate to live in conjunction .
Parasite King realized what other equal level mutants thought of him while he traveled to Africa with Red Eye .
Other species liked that his parasitic ability was convenient, but that was it .
To them, parasitism is just seizure .
A species that cannot survive without parasitism, there’s no way to change the way he was born .
He just wants to live as other mutants do . As he wants without being wary of others . If he wants to do that, he needs to make it into the parasites’ world . Fusion was completed already, but he needed preparation . It is too late if he hatches and then prepares . So he produced parasites with the nutrients he was supplied with .
As many of quality that he could .
Parasite King produced about 20,000 parasites . They are all level 5, and a few are even beyond that .
He prepared for a whole year . He was inside the cocoon, but he knew that the mutants he had come with had been watching him . There are a lot of underlings as well .
They are densely nearby, so it was perfect to create a commotion . If he aims for a moment that they aren’t expecting to hatch, he will be able to have the most effect .
‘This is my land . ’
Pure craving .
He will make Africa into his paradise no matter what .
