Chapter 906: The Corrupted Adult Parasite Beast!

He glanced at Lynn. A long tongue slipped out from between his mucus-covered teeth, and he smiled as it roamed over Lynn from head to toe. Then he slowly licked the corner of his mouth.

But Lynn was still Lynn, the corners of his mouth lifted. He neither denied it nor admitted it.

“Then could I continue studying these bugs? I’m really… very curious about these creatures.”

The Eyeball Monster swept a huge hand through the air and laughed heartily. “Of course! We’re all one big family in the same cult, and you’re a brother as generous as you are. Study them for as long as you like. Just say the word! Hahahaha!”

Lynn smiled at him. Every tentacle spreading around them flipped over and gave a thumbs-up.

They had reached an agreement.

The tentacles showed their wholehearted approval.

Then Lynn turned around and, the corners of his mouth still slightly raised, continued observing the bugs crawling inside the vessel.

But no one noticed that just as Lynn’s attention returned to the bugs, the One-Eyed Monster, who was still cheerfully counting the Skeleton Coins in his hand, glanced toward the upper-right corner of the Chamber. Its eye shifted slightly, and one finger drew a short horizontal line.

In a crack in that corner, an eyeball webbed with blood vessels turned slightly.

Meanwhile, deep inside the Flesh Aberration, in a large Chamber, one Flesh and Blood Humanoid after another watched the images transmitted through the crystalline lenses from the Parasite Beast’s Chamber. Twisted, cruel smiles slowly appeared on their faces, and the Malice in their eyes grew more intense with each passing moment.

“Neural network connection stable. Aberration parameters modified. Deploying internal Bio-armament. Switching to internal mode.”

“Target’s flesh-and-blood characteristics analyzed. Overall strength approaching Transcendent, but the target’s heart and right eye appear to contain high-strength Bio-armament. Their grade cannot currently be monitored. Target’s Flesh Vitality exceeds estimates. Analysis indicates it may be enhanced by high-strength, unknown Bio-armament originating from the target’s heart.”

“Difficulty of elimination: High. Uncertain factors present.”

A hoarse analysis report came from the writhing flesh in the chamber.

The leading Flesh and Blood Humanoid licked its enormous eyeball with a deranged air and sneered.

“Could he really be a direct descendant of the Desire Mother Tree? Low strength, high vitality, and high-grade Bio-armament beyond his own level. Looks like we’ve found more than just a big customer this time. We’ve found a fat sheep, too. It’s so wonderful I can barely stand it!”

“Keep him calm. Give him whatever information he wants. We absolutely can’t let such a delicacy slip away!”

Thick drops of liquid trickled from its cruel mouth, while its eyes brimmed with utter, unbearable chaos.

…

Back in the Parasite Beast’s Chamber,

Lynn continued watching the parasites sucking his blood and eating his flesh, as though he hadn’t noticed anything at all.

At the same time, he increased the blood flowing from the Colossus’s Heart.

As time passed,

the first batch of Parasite Beasts to complete their second stage of growth gradually stopped feeding. Their bodies had swollen so much that their translucent internal organs were clearly visible. Every organ was filled with his blood and flesh, which they had yet to fully digest.

Krrk, krrk…

Accompanied by a series of strange sounds, the spider-like bugs stopped feeding. Then, as if they had lost all signs of life, they froze on his arm. A faint, blood-red glow slowly emanated from their bodies.

“Incredible!”

The Eyeball Monster’s pupil widened. Its long tongue writhed as it stared at the bugs with shining eyes, speaking feverishly.

“Did you see that? They’ve begun their third-stage metamorphosis! It’s unbelievable. Your Flesh Vitality is the… the most vigorous I’ve ever seen in any test subject! With ordinary flesh and sustenance, completing this final stage of metamorphosis would take at least seven days. And you’ve done it in just… a few minutes…”

Lynn smiled. “So after this evolution, they’ll become fully grown?”

The Eyeball Monster greedily licked the tumor at the corner of its mouth and rubbed its palms together. “Y-yes. This is their most perfect form, too… Once they begin transforming into the third stage, the host will be irreversibly controlled by these bugs. And when a host that’s undergone the process wakes up, they’ll become one of us completely, one of our walking corpses.”

Kakakaka…

As he finished speaking, Yin Yi noticed in alarm that the “spiders” frozen in place were slowly sprouting tiny flesh growths from within their bodies.

It was as if something were about to burst out from inside them.

And then, in the very next moment,

the bodies of the “spiders” slowly split open. One after another, pale adult insects with long, sharp tails crawled out from within. No, they couldn’t be called insects at all. Their limbs resembled those of arthropods, and an eyeball took up half the space on their backs. Their limbs trembled at high frequency, sending out waves of powerful mental vibrations.

“Th-this is…”

Yin Yi instinctively trembled and took a step back.

A description of the creature immediately appeared before Lynn’s eyes.

【Parasite Beast (Elite)】

【Level】: 1

【Type】: Flesh Aberration

【Combat Ability】: Far faster than the larval form, with powerful aggression and desire

【Introduction】: A Parasite Beast cultivated from the flesh and blood of a certain Lin-surnamed creature. In addition to its ability to produce mental vibrations that resonate with the brains of flesh-and-blood creatures, it will rapidly display a desire to parasitize any such creature it encounters and attempt to invade and control its brain. However, it seems to have absorbed too much abnormal flesh and blood while growing. As a result, in addition to its innate ability, it has also developed some unnecessary behavioral patterns…

“Hsss…”

Almost in an instant, the Parasite Beast leaped toward Lynn at lightning speed. But the vessel blocked its path, and with a sharp crack, it latched onto the inside surface.

From this angle, Lynn and the others could see even more clearly that beneath its abdomen had grown a hideous mouthpart covered in flesh growths. It chomped and ground away like a meat grinder.

Yin Yi couldn’t help taking several more steps back, her face pale.

So this was…

the monster they intended to send into Earth…

“An extraordinary ability to reproduce, and an irreversible ability to control flesh-and-blood creatures once they mature…”

The Eyeball Monster’s eye grew even more feverish. Its mouth slowly stretched almost to its ear, its expression grotesquely deranged. Its fingers twisted with a series of cracks as it spoke excitedly.

“Just as those masters said, weapons like these are the most efficient tools for exterminating the creatures of the Surface World. I never imagined I’d get to see them in their adult form. If a monster like this were to eat your brain, I think that would be…”

Clap, clap…

A series of strange sounds, somehow not quite right, rang out.

The Eyeball Monster hadn’t finished its feverish speech when the sight before it froze its deranged smile in place.

Yin Yi’s mouth fell open too. Staring at the sudden scene, she murmured,

“Uh… what are they… doing?”
