Chapter 250 (1/2)
A vast jungle full of lush trees.
It is the Amazon crossing through South America. The place called the Earth’s lungs.
As a place where virus A runs rampant, it is now a paradise for mutants. Though it is a large habitat for mutants, it has become more beautiful ever since the man-made environmental destruction disappeared.
Whole forests and trees do not become monsters just because they are contaminated with virus A. It is just that the outside is fine and the inside has changed.
A secluded area of the Amazon.
Uplands that are higher than average. There are unnatural structures that create a large clearing.
“The other is dead. It hasn’t been long since it was sent out, but it’s already dead? Even if it is weaker, it should be as strong as Vanessa.”
A naked woman laying on a roughly carved altar.
She looks similar to the human version of Evil Queen that Cha Jun Sung killed in Mexico.
No, she’s the same. She must be. She is South America’s Evil Queen herself. The one here is the main body and the one she sent out is an alter ego.
The two are tied with kind of telepathy. There is no way to explain the principle behind it, but Evil Queen felt the alter ego’s death from a signal. The alter ego shouldn’t be underestimated. It held half of the main body’s strength.
Even Vanessa would have to risk death.
Evil Queen shifts her position.
She is deep in thought. The altar she is laying on was originally the Natives’ tombs. It is like a sanctuary. Of course there are no Natives. They are all dead.
Though they can live with the forest as friends, humans are just humans. They cannot live in a hell with masses of mutants.
“What am I supposed to do if the puppet dies? My plans are ruined.”
Evil Queen grumbles.
She speaks in jest as if she doesn’t care, but it is a serious matter. It will take time to get out of here.
It would take least a few years, maybe many times more.
She needs to cover the eyes of the 4 sisters and other Disasters until then, but it has been ruined from the start.
Speaking of which, it has been quite a while since she has heard from the 4 sisters. She isn’t completely sure of their state, but it seems they died like the alter ego.
“Hm. What is this?”
Evil Queen didn’t feel sadness from the death of the 4 sisters.
It was a pity.
Children are precious to mutants as well.
But where there are those who are tied with affection, there are those like Evil Queen who are unconcerned.
The death of the 4 sisters and her alter ego are along the similar vein.
“Since I can’t move now, I’ll shrink.”
The time she needs is the time to transcend completion. She is going through that process now, albeit slowly.
“Anyway, that means there are five combining my daughters and alter ego. Does that mean those Lifers have developed that much? It’s dangerous. It’s different from what I’ve heard.”
Though Evil Queen is a mutant, it isn’t hard to find out information on Lifers. When she caught a few and asked, they told her everything.
It is just pure curiosity.
Humans hunting mutants?
It became the opposite. This thing called Life Mission is similar to a game she used to play as a human when she got bored. That’s why she was able to understand the principle behind it easily.
Whether it was a single person or a group, it doesn’t matter. If they have the ability to kill Vanessa and her alter ego, she needs to keep an eye on it.
“It’ll be boring until I get out, but what can I do? Right honey?”
Evil Queen talks to herself.
She is alone, but she is using an expression used to speak to a lover. The only honey Evil Queen has is Bon Load.
The pieces of bone wrapped around Evil Queen like an armor respond to her call. They are like tree roots. Some even dug into her skin. Disgusting foreign matter is scattered all over Evil Queen’s white and soft skin like veins.
“It’s curious that something like you exists.”
Something that formed from nothing.
That is Bon Load.
Evil Queen saw something like this for the first time as well.
He is a living thing, but it’s hard to say that he is a living thing.
Bon Load was born out of the graves where the Natives’ corpses were gathered.
Right here.
He is spread wide here like tree roots.
His personality is on the quiet side, but that doesn’t mean he’s gentle.
If he feels a threat on his life, these pieces of bone gather and create a form that can go into battle.
It is another interesting ability that is separate from full body mutation.
He has reason, but he cannot express himself freely like Evil Queen can. But he’s still strong. Of all the mutants that Evil Queen has seen, he is second to Black Lord.
He must have been born with the advantage of strength and the disadvantage of unclear reason because he wasn’t born normally.
Evil Queen was able to find him through effort and coincidence. It is the result of thoroughly searching through the Amazon for strong mutants.
Since he is a powerful mutant, she was able to produce high quality children by mating with Bon Load. Even without having to consume all of her nutrients.
