"Eat the horse's formation diagram and you will turn into a horse!"
"This process is irreversible. You need to concentrate all your mind and attention to coordinate every piece of flesh and blood, every bone in your body... Imagine what would happen if another creature touched you during this process?"
Hitzfeld fell silent.
"Your whole being will be swept up in that transformation."
Sixus spoke for her.
"It's like a meat grinder made of flesh and blood... The two of you will merge into one in an extremely painful way. God knows what you will become in the end!"
With every word she spoke, Hitzfeld's breathing became more rapid.
The large breasts rose and fell violently. She stared at them for a while, then looked at the woman who had already fallen to the ground with the skin on the back of her hands red. She raised her head and said, "But... Old Barr was not like this at the time!"
Of course this is not the case.
In the projection, the young Baal quickly completed the entire dragon transformation process. From spitting out the first breath of fire to transforming into a fire dragon, it took about 10 seconds in total.
Look at Xia again?
At least half a minute has passed now, and her body temperature has just skyrocketed and her skin has turned red... There is not even the slightest sign of change.
Rumble…
The dragon tomb shook violently again.
Hitzfeld looked up at the dark ceiling, then looked back at Xia Yibing, clenching his hands together and twisting them.
"Maybe it's not enough." Russell said suddenly.
"what?"
"Weight..." Russell pointed at the woman with his robotic arm.
"She's not a dragon guard after all."
"So maybe one formation diagram is not enough for her."
……
Xia Yibing was completely unable to sense any information from the outside world at this time.
Her consciousness seemed vague and unreal, like a dream... Her soul continued to sink in the dark space until a voice woke her up.
[Children of Latadia.]
[Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?]
Who are you.
She questioned with her consciousness.
[I am Eussellian Vincent Zacharias.]
The voice answered her.
[I am the shadow of the sun.]
[He is the first and last king of all the Mimics in the world, the Kingdom of Latadia.]
It sounds like it's awesome...
[Of course~] The voice jumped.
[And you, lucky kid, I don’t know how you got in... Anyway, you have met all the conditions to inherit this power.]
All the conditions...?
[Yes, you are a Latadian, and you can wield that knife...]
Is she talking about the fire knife?
[You can say that.]
...I want to know all the secrets of that knife!
[You are a little greedy.]
I must know!
[Okay... well, let me do the math. I guess no matter how that thing changes, you can at least know that it is a replica of the Lightning Blade.]
[But you wouldn't know this - it's not made entirely of steel, it also contains some idiot's bones.]
...You mean that person, Queen Severi?
[It’s her…]
The sound became a little muffled.
[Not only hers, but also Osenna's, and even mine.]
[How disgusting! Why would I be compared to someone like this...]
The girl who called herself "Zechariah" made an inaudible muttering, and Xia Yibing guessed from her tone that she was cursing.
What the hell…
What on earth did I eat...?
[But who made me destroy (weird pronunciation)? ... As compensation, and also to take care of the west, it is finally my turn to do this hard work.]
[As for what you ate, didn’t I tell you clearly?]
The sound suddenly became amplified, as if someone was speaking normally next to your ear.
[Kyle's research is extremely valuable. He solved the problem that in the new era, there are no magic particles, and organisms cannot analyze their own structure and cannot learn mimicry.]
Dilemma?
[Yes.] the voice replied.
[In the past, if people wanted to learn mimicry, they had to communicate particles, read biological waves... use extraordinary power to reconstruct the body and transform it into another life form according to a fixed formula.]
[But later, without the extraordinary, they couldn't do it. Kyle's research compressed all the processes into a flesh membrane array diagram. He eliminated almost all the extraordinary structures in this process. We have to admit that he is a genius.]
Meat membrane array diagram... refers to the things I ate?
[That’s it.] The voice sounded proud.
[So do you understand?]
[I am Zachariah, the Mimicry Queen. I am the person who knows the art of mimicry the best throughout history.]
[I have the Dark Raven Cells I left behind to guide you... plus the formation diagrams left in the Dragon Tomb, just tell me directly - what do you want to mimic?]
[Fire dragon?]
The outline of a giant dragon condensed in the darkness.
[Frost dragon?]
Another one, but it just gives people a gloomy feeling.
[Just say it.]
[I will satisfy you.]
[This is a special favor to our compatriots...]
"..."
Xia Yibing fell silent.
At that moment, she thought a lot.
Then she heard herself say, "Can it not change?"
[……What did you say?]
"I mean...if you can help me solve the infection problem...then I'll naturally be happy."
"Of course it's better not to use this method after all..."
"I do not believe you."
--------
There is one more chapter after dinner.
Chapter 133 The Fusion of Soul and Flesh
On the fourth floor of the Dragon Tomb, Hitzfeld used the dim light and lifted a stone slab with some difficulty.
Fortunately, this place had been abandoned for so many years. Many of the seals had large gaps, and even her small arms and legs could pull them apart.
Russell put Sixus aside to let her recover, picked up the lantern with his deformed left claw, and stretched it forward to help the girl illuminate.
Hitzfeld glanced at him.
A grotesque, deformed body, coupled with a face that appears intact at first glance.
It's just like being infected with the G virus.
No, it should be said that it is much more terrifying than that situation...
"Are you going to die?" she asked Russell.
The Natural Orb can preserve Russell's self-awareness in an alternative way, but this method should not be a permanent solution, right?
His body is already in such bad shape that it is beyond recognition. Regardless of whether they win or lose this battle, the victorious side will not allow this body to survive.
She also doesn't think that a body with a "separated" brain and torso has any future.
"This is the price." Russell was very calm. "You should have seen it many times. Why are you surprised?"
Hitzfeld pursed his lips and said nothing, his mind again thinking of his lady's wood carving, and those who were willing to sacrifice themselves to fight for the survival of their tribe and civilization.
This was similar to the feeling Xixus had when she was infected by Xia Yibing before: she was really used to it, and she thought she was mentally prepared. However, when similar scenes were repeated again and again in front of her, she still felt a little powerless.
"You and Alvin...you could have told me earlier..." She said intermittently while digging.
"If I had known this sooner, we would have—"
"Impossible." Russell interrupted her, "I'm a mechanic. Think about what the Dragon Tomb is like. How could he let a mechanic come in so easily before he completely controls this place?"
That's true.
For a mechanic... it would be too easy to destroy a place that must have various mechanical structures inside, or at least do some tampering.
Unless Bokan was 100% sure that Russell was one of them, he wouldn't let him in...even if he had the key.
"This price has been prepared long ago, and everything has been calculated long ago." Russell shook the lantern.
"So what are you hesitating about?"
"At least don't let my efforts go to waste."
Yes.
He is always right.
Hitzfeld bit his lip and intensified his already rapid digging movements.
Finally, she seemed to have grasped something in the black soil. She quickly grasped a corner of it and tried to pull it out, but before the thing appeared, a cluster of flames suddenly rose from the black soil, frightening her so much that she trembled and quickly stood up and jumped away.
"What's wrong?" Russell approached.
Sixus, who was lying there, also raised his head slightly.
It is true that she can recover, but if anything unexpected happens again, she feels that she may not be able to escape.
"...It can't be confirmed now." Hitzfeld's expression became extremely solemn. He knelt down again, inserted his dirty black silk gloves into the soil, dug it open, and dug out a ball of charred debris from it.
She recognized the debris and the burning phenomenon.
The first time it appeared was in the lakeside cabin. Bokan's clone wanted to invade them, but she pinched it for some unknown reason, and the piece of flesh burned to ashes as if it had touched some taboo.
The second time was when Bokan made his first official appearance. After the talks broke down, his arm grew longer and strangled her neck. That time, his entire arm was blown off, and the fire snakes that sprang out of the flames caused him a lot of trouble.
No...actually there should be a third time.
The third time was when Bokan took advantage of Makai's deformed body to return and pinned me against the door... Why didn't flames appear that time?
Does it have something to do with my energy?
