Chapter 350
「That’s the ability you gained by capturing Alshas.」
[Z(Yes)]
「Grrr」
The Mother of Heaven looked with strange eyes at the ‘left head’ that had taken over the new body. When I tried to answer her question, a sound came out of my main body’s mouth and the mouth of the ‘left head’ at the same time.
“Do you think your body is in sync? Does it feel like an artificial assistive body?”
[Zuzuzu zzu zzu zzuzuzu zuz (That expensive item, I don’t know because I’ve never used it)]
“It looks like it can move independently when it’s not under your control.”
Aside from feeling bad about being drenched in saliva, she seemed quite intrigued by the sight of me moving two bodies at the same time.
‘I have a vague sense of movement.’
Does it feel like the sensations felt when linking to the nest and commanding the parasite are combined into one?
If I were to explain it in terms of human senses, it was similar to the feeling you get when you move your body right before waking up from a dream. Even though my body is still asleep, in my dream I wake up to go to school, go to the bathroom, and eat.
I tried lifting the wing arm of the ‘left head’ and moving the tail of the main body at the same time. It was awkward at first, but I quickly got used to it.
‘I think I would have lost my mind if I had been in this situation when I was human.’
It looks like things will get more complicated here if there are two duplicates, but I’ll have to experiment with that later. This is because there is a limit to the energy stored in the body.
‘But how do you use the characteristics as a duplicate?’
Clones can use a total of four types of characteristics: body, special defense, internal organs, and environmental adaptation. I don’t have to worry about traits like regenerative power as they will be activated automatically, but I’m not sure how complex traits like mimicry will work.
‘It just worked out.’
Aimorph is not affected by pheromones, so it is impossible to see what I look like. You can only tell what kind of object it has turned into by imitating its voice, which is a side effect of the mimicry organ.
However, the Mother of Heaven is influenced by the pheromones emitted by the mimicry organ.
[Zuzuz (just a moment)]
I asked her to wait a moment and concentrated on letting the ‘left head’ use its mimicry organ. I can feel the tiny pores all over the clone’s body writhing.
And the auxiliary organs of the main body detected the familiar lingering scent of pheromones. In that state, I opened the clone’s mouth.
“how is it?”
“how is it?”
「....」
The same voice comes out of the main body and the mouth of the ‘left head’. It is the voice of Alshas, the last being I ate.
“How do I look?”
“How do I look?”
“...It’s creepy, so can you tell me just one person?”
I guess I really hate it because I see the tangled hair standing up again due to the sticky saliva.
Instead of making a voice, I sent waves to the monster’s tentacles attached to its main body.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu zu zuzuzu zuzu (I can’t control it yet. How do I look now?)]
「They both look like Alshas.」
[Zu (really?)]
Her amber eyes look far below my head. This is because their senses are disturbed by the mimicry organ and they perceive me as a human being.
“That’s half the success.”
“Now all that’s left is...”
“It takes on a different form.”
“Using genetic essence.”
“...If you want to experiment, I hope you do it with other kids instead of me.”
There are a few more things left to check, but since they hate it so much, I’ll have to do it later. I left the mimicked ‘left head’ intact and deactivated the mimicry organ of the main body.
[Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (I have some things left to check, so please ask later)]
「Phew....」
She sighed and shook her head at the reaction I made.
“We’ll talk about that later. Doesn’t the separated part hurt? The neck is empty.”
[Zuzuz, zuzu, zuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu (It’s okay. The awkwardness I felt after splitting went away quickly)]
“I see.”
As she was looking at the neatly separated marks near her neck, she snapped her fingers as if an idea occurred to her.
“Now I remember why I came here. I have something to tell you.”
[Zuzu (What?)]
“PS-111 says Isabel’s tuning will take about 30 hours.”
30 hours. It takes longer than expected.
The guy tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
“It’s similar to what you control by synchronizing with the MPS.”
“It is very interesting to have created a terminal similar to the original in such a short period of time. “If you allow us to collect skin samples, we can confirm that great progress will be made in MPS design.”
Jane is interesting in her own way, but I have things to do first.
“I have something to ask you more than that.”
“What is?”
“Heavenly Mother said it would take 30 hours for the attunement to be completed? “Wouldn’t it be possible to reduce the time further with equipment on the Screamer support ship?”
I briefly explained the conversation I had with Heavenly Mother. PS-111 listened to my story until the end and nodded.
“With the facilities of the Screamer support ship, coordination can be completed in less than 10 hours.”
“okay?”
“yes. “We will stop coordinating for a while and start operating the Giga Cracker.”
“please.”
“In the meantime, please check the condition of ‘younger brother’.”
As a guy who is half machine, he acts quickly once he decides on something. He left the manufacturing plant to start the ship with the mini screamers.
‘Then here...’
“Aimov.”
The moment I thought I needed to experiment with human face bugs, I heard a voice from below.
Isabelle, who had wires and cables connected to her head, was looking up at me with her eyes open.
‘Are you awake?’
I thought PS-111 would naturally be in a dormant state because it was busy tuning, but that wasn’t the case.
Thanks to the transplant of Coldblood’s eyeballs, his eyes glowed the same blue as the sea. Perhaps by coincidence, she was the complete opposite of her twin sister, who had bright red mechanical eyes.
The guy looked at me with his blue eyes and opened his mouth.
“You ate that body, Alshas.”
“okay.”
Looking at the reaction, my body changed, but I did not lose my ability to read the other person’s information. I thought it might have something to do with the eyes, so I told PS-111 that at least the eyes should be transplanted, and fortunately, the answer was correct.
“This is the privilege I received when I came to this world, ‘the heavenly eye of all beings.’ As the name suggests, you can only use it if you have eyes.”
“As expected, it was a perk.”
“It’s funny to say this now, but I thought you would take it from me, even if it meant killing me.”
To be honest, I still have very little desire to do that. The perk of reading someone else’s information is that attractive. However, I decided that it would be more beneficial for me if he stayed alive, so I made a different choice.
Of course, you don’t have to say exactly what you think.
“Your sister, PS-111 asked for it. Please save me. “I just listened to his request.”
“I knew it, but it’s still different.”
He said to himself that he was impressed that I behaved differently in the game and in this world.
‘Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a problem with conversation.’
Part of its long body was disassembled and its head was full of wires, but its mind seemed to be intact.
Since there is still time left before arriving at the ice planet, it would be okay to ask the questions you wanted to ask here.
“You have the ability to read information, so you probably know more than others, right?”
“huh. “If I can answer, I will.”
I asked Isabelle, who nodded obediently, directly.
“The players I’ve met so far, and even myself. As we all got closer to the ending, we all saw unusual visions. “Do you know what this means?”
A fantasy secret that I kept wondering about because there were no clues. Among the rankers I’ve met so far, not a single one has given me a clear answer about fantasy.
Is that why? The guy didn’t answer my question right away. He just stared at me silently with his sapphire-like eyes.
After a while, the small mouth of the silent guy opened and the answer to my question flowed out.
‘what?’
And the answer was something I didn’t expect.
