Chapter 49 : Transform and Roll Out
It was total chaos within the brilliant golden chapel. Even when the organizer tried his best to main order, he couldn’t stop the commotion among the underground city lords.
Even though they were tricked, to be able to make this proposal pass in the Conference, it could also be attributed to Sulfur Mountain City’s might. The decisions made in the Conference weren’t a game and couldn’t be change, otherwise the basic trust in the Alliance will waver.
The Fifth Autarch — Sulfur Mountain City, these are the phrases that comes up often during the chatters which underground city lords are engaged in now. Many of them had begun to accept it as reality within their hearts.
A sudden emergence of a new Underground Autarch means a reshuffling of the powers within the Alliance. In the worst-case scenario, it might even incite thousands of battles to rewrite the territories of the biggest factions. These sudden circumstances represent endless trouble… and a hard-to-come-by opportLiving beings need to ingest food and digest them as nutrients. The basic motive is for survival and to grow stronger so that they can achieve victory in the cruel natural world and gain the opportunity to evolve.
Gluttony = Evolution + Survival.
When this equation formed in my brain, history’s smallest Abomination was born. It was only 1.2 meter and couldn’t even raise a pebble. His only ability was to eat…
Abominations are basically the melding of corpses together, making it suited to meld other living beings together with it and evolve without boundaries.
It is able to integrate the strength of the prey he eats into his own flesh and very soon, after several wars, a mountain-like Corpse Monster became the nightmare of all living souls. But then, on one occasion when he was ingesting, he self-exploded.
I analyzed the reasons for failure and that is because no living being or dead being can evolve continuously and exceed the limits of their physical body. Overly powerful strength, due to the complex structure of the flesh, will only cause deformity and self-destruction.
Then, when the equation of excessive evolution = self-destruction has been formed, the next step is to set a goal, direction and limit for his evolution… Fine, I admit that I copied a certain masked knight with many forms in this process.
TL: Masked knight refers to Kamen Rider.
The experiments weren’t all smooth-sailing. More than a dozen of experimental subjects self-destructed, the only one successful was Ah Dang
After that, I set certain goals for Ah Dang. A transformation for normal battles, a transformation with flight ability, a transformation with diving ability, a full offensive transformation and such, then I allowed him to eat as he pleases to evolve.
For example, no matter how many genes that are suited for high-speed flying are swallowed, they are only limited to the flight transformation. For example, after ingesting the wings of a Sky Dragon and the wings of a Phoenix, he will use the better gene to build his own wings while the weaker gene will serve as backup and ration… After swallowing and merging like this a couple of times, naturally, the perfect flying transformation will be created.
Stealing the claws of the Behemoth, stealing the wings from the gigantic Dragons and stealing the talent to use Holy Light from the Angels, Ah Dang is really the perfect living being and a terminal existence.
Fine, this design concept has succeeded but without doubt, I have gone too far… On theory, Ah Dang who is always evolving can eventually evolve to the point where he can slaughter Gods. Of course, in order to reach such a level, he must first consume several SemiGods without bloating himself to death. However, I feel that before this happen, Mother Earth will first send down a hand to slap me to death for creating this unnatural monster capable of destroying the world.
Fortunately, perhaps due to its excessive strength and limitless potential, he was envied by the heavens. No matter how much I try, I am unable to increase Ah Dang’s intelligence. Magic and martial arts cannot be executed on instincts itself. The lack of sufficient intelligence restricts him from maximizing the potential of his flesh. This is also why he, despite obviously having the strength to be number 1 among the Senators, he is ranked first from the last.
However, if we were to separate the physical body and the brain, then put a pilot into the physical body to serve as a pilot, then the lack of intelligence wouldn’t be a problem. Fine, I admit that I copied from the gigantic robots who always bully those little monsters for Ah Dang’s design concept… However, a hero’s origin isn’t questioned. No matter whether it is a black cat or white cat, a cat that can catch a mouse is a good cat, isn’t that right?
“Ah Dang, how many transformations do you have that are at least of A rank?”
“There is a total of 12. 9 of the battle transformations are S rank and above and among them, the Ferocious Beast Form and City Siege Form is SS rank.”
Hearing that, I can’t help but to click my tongue. Back then, Ah Dang only has 7 designs and of which, only 4 of them are at least S-rank. But today, there is actually one which reached the SS rank under my evaluation. That is…
“Under the condition that the pilot is skillful, it should be able to shock even SemiGods… Don’t turn into your SS rank transformation in front of other people. You should only require S rank transformation to deal with today’s matters.
Greed and Gluttony are the type which start out extremely weak but have unlimited growth potential. But, Ah Dang’s rate of evolution still makes me surprised. Initially, I thought that it would take him a thousand years before he can reach such a state.
“Ah Dang, don’t eat living beings from now on, stop your transformation temporarily. Turn your attention into improving your fighting techniques and your control over magic.” Excessive evolution isn’t a good thing for both him and this world. He should be receptive to my orders.
“Yes, Ah Pa. We are here.”
Glancing downwards, we have indeed arrived. The spectacle below is one of the battle between gigantic monsters.
The 6th Senator ‘Demonic Bone Beast’ Crimspur, the 10th Senator ‘Ant King of Corrosion’ Lamost and the 11th Senator ‘The Great Mathematician’ Penny.Horst. Other than the 11th Senator who, as a Lich, has the normal size of a human, the other opponents are gigantic beasts above 30-meters tall.
On the defensive side, Ancient Red Dragon and Bone Dragon Queen weren’t losing much in physique compared to them. Right now, the Red Dragon is fighting with the Demonic Bone Beast while the blue crystal Bone Dragon that keeps creating a dissonance is soloing the remaining 2 Senators.
As they roll on the ground, a whole bunch of goblin landmines buried under the ground explode, but that wasn’t even sufficient to scrape their skin. The cannons from the goblin has yet to stop, but similarly, it has been neglected totally.
“Ah Dang, Ah Dang wants to eat meat!”
With a battle cry, the Silver-Plated Sky Dragon disappears within the black fog and an enormous ape appears on the ground. Its muscles are well-developed and its arms that muscular to the point of deformity is shining with the radiance of metal. He is the tallest and strongest among the giant beasts here.
“Koseidon, coming to visit!” The gigantic ape stretches out its arm and does a weird pose.
TL: This, quite an old cartoon.
Noticing the strange gazes the people in the surrounding were looking at it with, a composite voice diffuses from Ah Dang’s body.
“As expected, I shouldn’t this kind of old joke that reveals my age, look at how cold the crowd is. Then…”
TL: Cold -> Awkward.
That gigantic ape beast crosses his hand in a ?-shape at 90 degrees, going into another weird pose aiming towards Crimspur.
“Hehe, look at my Action Beam… No, Ultra Beam!!”
TL: Action Beam (Crayon Shin-chan Ultraman parody)
Alright, the crowd still remains cold…
“Boom!” But, a laser really shoots out from the arms, pushing Crimspur down.
“Hah, you think that I’m just faking it?”
Then, facing the strong enemies who start surrounding us, the ape beast sudden raises his both hand and does a handstand…
“Un, so that button is actually the cannons. Right, where is the punching button? Is it here? Don’t bother me, Elisa. I am very skilled in fighting games. Un un, so this is kicking? Okay, now that I am used to the basic controls, now it is time for Chinese Martial Arts to sweep the foreign world off its feet!”
Ah Dang is actually quite a ‘country bumpkin’-like name.
Okay, really weird chapter, it seems the author is really obsessed with sentais.
