Chapter 377 - The Great Potential Of Rust (2/2)
”Yes, he can…” said Chaos. ”Do you got any idea?”
”Yeah. What if we use that scrap, we got in your backyard to let him assimilate it? I remember there are a lot of spaceships you decided to just leave there to eat later but it seems you forgot about them…” said Edward.
”No I didn't forget about them; I don't know what you're talking about…” said Chaos. He was very bad at lying so it was very obvious he was pretending. ”I… just left them there for another occasion. We have been quite busy lately.”
”Ah… Hahaha, yes, sure, that's the case…” said Edward. ”Nonetheless, could it be possible to ask Rust if he could fuse these destroyed spaceships?”
”But what about Red Star? If we get a new spaceship what's his work gonna be?” asked Yuki. ”You gotta think on everybody, Edward!”
”Yeah we can't just let him steal the job of our beloved living spaceship.” Said Boxxy, she supported her bed friend quickly after, cornering Edward.
”Sigh… Red Star can still work with the purpose he was made for, but if we let Rust absorb all this technology, he'll surely grow stronger, or even more, fuse with it like he did with the refrigerator, right?” asked Edward. ”My lord said that he was even able to transform into a golem that fired giant ice cubes that exploded and froze anything they hit, this is where all this ice came from, I assume.” Edward pointing with his index finger at all the ice stuck to the walls and ceiling behind him, which made sharp spikes of ice spreading everywhere…
”Yes, that's right, that's how it happened…” said Chaos. ”I suppose we can let him do that. There are more materials so I am going to feed him daily so he can accumulate stats. He can increase stats very easily but he can also lose them very easily, doing things such as self-duplication, even when all duplicated selves moved together, still wasted stats, so I assume anything that requires effort also consumes stats because he ends using a permanent part of his very mass… this also happened with the refrigerator incident.”
”Incredible, so that's how it is.” Said Edward. ”Rust is truly an interesting and intriguing entity! I believe we should really try to make him stronger, he could help us tremendously, even more if he could somehow fight against that Silver guy… he looked like a pain to deal with.”
”Hm, I agree...” said Erebus. ”My new little brother is strong so we should feed him with as much food as we can. It is never enough for our little brother.”
”Bububuhh!” said the little Rust, feeling like he was being acknowledged.
”He's very energetic, I like him…” said Natalia. ”Perhaps he could become the key for us to be able to invade that wicked city and its high technology, perhaps we could hack the entire system with him and Erebus if both work together…”
Natalia had quite an enlightening idea, which seemed that it might truly be a powerful move… imagining Rust taking over all the technology of the entire city seemed quite disastrous for their enemies…
