Chapter 251 (2/2)
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.
