Chapter 86 - Changes (+18)

*( mood song: "The Turtles - Happy Together")

Erik woke up on his big bathtub the next day, still on the crab woman's body, his belly bloated as eggs slowly dripped out of his sore pussy, he quickly pushed a button and his mind sank away, going back to his human body.

He woke up on his body, only to feel even fuller, seeing Inky fucking his ass with vigor when he opened his eyes.

Inky smiled at him when she saw him open his eyes "good morning my love~"

Erik wasn't in the mood anymore though, and used all his strength to pull her off, then pushed out but nothing came of it 'fucking plug, need to wait for it to dissolve..' and looked at the still panting Inky "wasn't it enough to fuck me unconscious over and over as a crab?"

Inky pouted and said "it's not the same... the lips and body are hard, and the body is ugly, even if I know it's you inside... it just feels a bit weird... I wanted to feel you too..."

Erik rolled his eyes and sighed "yeah... I get what you mean... it felt great for me too..."

Inky smiled, her cock hardening "then we can cont-"

But Erik cut her off "Not today... you squeezed me dry..." he patted his bloated belly "and pumped me full already..."

Inky pouted again, her dick starting to deflate "why don't you get a pussy... it would be easier that way... you can use those water tubes in the lab right?"

Erik looked at it and gulped embarrassedly saying "well... it felt great having a pussy and all that, so... I might consider it-"

He didn't get to finish as Inky hugged him, kissing him deeply, only to release him and excitedly ask "really?!, what are we waiting for then! let's go!" almost pushing him to stand up.

Erik pushed her off carefully though and laid down again, looking serious "I would have gone there already but..." he patted his bulging belly "I first need to take this out and also rest, I just got inside this body again and it's already tired, I can't go inside the lab and inject myself with powerful mutagens and tissue implants while still full of eggs up my ass you know?"

Inky then seemed regretful as she gasped.

Inky seeing he had the moral high ground continued "yeah, that's right, that's why you should always ask me first, no consent, no fucking, 'cause I didn't even get to feel good or anything at all, I just get to deal with the aftermath, and that's not fun you know?"

Inky nodded with a sad face "I'm sorry..." her eyes watery.

Erik had a difficult time keeping a serious face but it felt good having the moral high ground, so he went for a final punch "also, you should clean what you get dirty you know? 'cause-" and then Inky escaped out the door, leaving Erik sighing as he looked at the ceiling "sigh... she escaped, is cleaning that much of a deal? really..." right then he felt something loosening inside him as eggs started jetting out of him bouncing up onto the floor '...I'm not gonna clean that...'

--- hours later, inside the genetics lab ---

Now with a flat belly and well-rested, Erik first took some of his cells and made a culture, turning them into mother cells, then changing their Y chromosome for a second X chromosome, changing them to what cells a female twin of himself would have.

It was a process already observed in intersex people back on earth, where two different sex twins fused into one individual while still inside the mother, the resulting individual having two different sexes and DNA's without any rejection, resulting in a natural human chimera. That same process was used for inserting organs of the different gender into an individual without any rejection at all, and being perfectly functional and fertile.

While there were similar treatments being developed in between using vaginas or members from dead people, that still had the problem of rejection by the immune system, and also any descendants would have the donors DNA and not yours, he had even heard of a woman who got her dead husband's dick, jerking off and impregnating herself with it, or women getting a 3D printed member made out of their clitoris cells.

Chimerism was different though, chimerism was something that was common but not a really known fact, as even mothers take cells from babies inside them, or how people who receive a marrow donation, the DNA in their blood becomes that of the other person, the advantage of chimerism is that it doesn't produce any rejection, as if the organ was yours and has your counterparts female/male DNA.

Once he had sufficient XX chromosome mother cells, he injected them into 3 organ cultivation artificial wombs, in one he cultivated a pair of boobs, a modest A cup with the nipples and mammary glands, as male nipples can lactate in rare cases but can't retain the milk inside and it just drips off like sweat.

In the second one a complete pussy and womb, all having his DNA, a medium-sized puffy pussy as he would have to deal with big cocks stretching it, and Abyssal DNA upgrading it, having also high levels of testosterone as a male would stop periods, but he wasn't too worried about it, he also hadn't seen octopeople having periods so he assumed he would easily mutate eating their eggs.

And in the third one some hard cartilage tissue, as he was planning to make his hips be able to give way a bit without any pain, that way if he really ended up giving birth, his hip bones would be able to give some way and separate, as cartilage can be almost as hard as a bone, but it can also bend, opening and separating easily during childbirth, as male hip bones are also narrower to start with.

Another thing to consider would be estrogens, as females accumulate fat way faster, and in different places, having more body fat, it would have the benefit that he would have a way lower risk of having heart diseases, and also burn fat directly on the muscles, as fat would accumulate more on his arms and legs too. He would feel 4 times more hungry though, as females feel way more hunger than males, but he already had a plan if that happened, since he needed to eat a lot while in this world, being constantly eating wouldn't be a problem, and since he was gonna use a chimeric method, his brain and most of his body would still be the one of a male, so he probably wouldn't even have that problem.

He left the organs growing as he went to the living room, finding Inky there, she quickly stopped what she was watching, eagerly asking him.

Inky: "is it done already?" as she tried to pull down his pants.

Erik stopped her though "no, not yet, the tissues need to grow, also... you didn't clean..."

Inky's face fell "b-but I carried you to the bathtub you know, that crabwoman was heavy, and all that fucking left me really tired... I didn't have any energy left to clean you know..."

Erik smiled while caressing her face "that's okay my love" Inky smiled too, but her face soon fell with his next words "after all... you can clean now right? with how lively you look"

Inky was about to complain, but Erik put a finger to her lips, silencing her a telling her with a bright smile "shh~ go clean your mess okay?"

Inky left looking defeated, looking back with sad eyes when she was almost out of the living room, only to see Erik wave her goodbye, saying "have fun cleaning~" and finally went away.

Erik, then laid down on the sofa 'let's see what she was watching... a documentary about lions huh? well, let's see what part she was watching' he clicked the play button, the documentary saying "... and also note that lions can reproduce up to 50 times a day during the mating season-" making Erik stop it and chuckle 'i bet Inky can beat that... I better watch something else...'

--- on the workshop ---

Inky was pouting while cleaning, roughly cleaning only, she picked up her eggs and lightly wiped the floor clean, smirking 'heh! it still smells like me' and went away.

--- Greenhouse lab ---

After watching some movies, Erik went to the greenhouse lab and selected 5 shadow crab males, poisoning them with paralyzing poison as he took them to the lab, already having moved the hybrid crab woman to the isolated cell the general used to occupy, and moved him to the lab inside a water tank so he could breathe, and now in front of him, he cut open the claws of his 5 soldiers and installed them chainsaw blades on their claws, along with replacing their right eye for a multiple spectrums camera, and adding an integrated radio, all inside their exoskeleton and activated by their own nerves connection this time, without the need for any hidden buttons, he then injected them with a different mix of nanobots he had programmed to recreate an octoperson's brain pathways, this way there wouldn't be any issues when transferring their minds.

The general watching all the process with a blank horrified face.

Erik then put the bodies inside some special capsules that kept the bodies breathing and fed, ready to be used, he had put the crab woman back home into a similar one, and had also taken Inky's eggs from inside too, as they weren't fertilized, and sadly the crab woman's eggs weren't either. With the success from the hybrid crab woman getting pregnant from Timberly though, he at least knew that fecundation was possible with enough common mutations, so he wasn't discouraged, he just had to make Inky and himself more similar, so DNA chains could divide and successfully snap back together.

Also to make it easier feeding the now puppet avatar bodies, he had made a program that moved the muscles at the same time for chewing, and another that sent all the necessary signals for swallowing, so that way he just needed to put food on their mouths, and then push two buttons if he wanted to make them eat something, it might sound simple but just sending hundreds of signals to different muscles took him a lot of coding.

That work done he came out of the lab and came upon an interesting scene, she seemed to haven't noticed him as Anhuka was focussed on her own things.

She was holding a piece of meat and forcing the rock crab tribesmen to beg her for the food, with her electric baton as the punishment if they didn't do so.

Erik didn't really care what she did to them though, as he would replace their brains at some point, and she was probably just venting, as they had done way worse to her anyway, so he stepped loudly to make his presence known to her and approached.

Anhuka smiled at him, seeing him arrive "what do you think my Lov- MY LORD! do they seem obedient enough?"

Erik looked at the cowering crabs in their cells and they looked well fed, that was enough so he smiled satisfied and told her "yes, Anhuka, you are doing a good job, keep up the good work and I might prepare a gift for you" inside thinking 'what food would she like? some jelly? snacks? maybe some abyssal meat is enough for a reward...'

Anhuka understood it very differently though 'if I do a good job here... I might get rewarded with his kids!' she gave a fearsome look to the crabs still in the cages 'oh you bastards better behave... OR ELSE!' turning back and looking at Erik with a sweet smile "of course MY Lord, it would be my honor! I will make sure every single one of these crabs behaves and eats properly!"

Erik smiled telling her "I like your enthusiasm, I will get going then" and going away.

Anhuka was frozen though 'like... like... like... LIKE! HE LIKES ME! hehehe~'

She cheerfully started cleaning the place, even going inside the lab and making sure everything was clean, it was weird for her being out of the water, but thanks to her hybrid properties, she could hold for days breathing air as long as it had enough moisture, so it didn't dry her insides.

As she was cleaning though, the general told her "hey woman! release me before that psychopath comes back! if you do so, I will reward you with the honor of becoming part of my king's harem! the glorious shadow crab tribe's king!" inside thinking 'heh~ I'm a genius! if I manage to bring this woman along with the information I have to my king, then we could create an alliance of all tribes again and come back here with a way bigger army! hahaha! these beasts won't stand a chance-' things didn't go as he was expecting though, he shut up as he saw Anhuka looking back at him with bloodshot wide open eyes, inspecting his body with a terrifying look.

She came closer, with her baton in hand, and said "well~ well~ so you want ME! to help YOU! in HURTING MY LORD AND SAVIOR?! IT SEEMS LIKE YOU NEED SOME GUIDANCE!" and she slowly pushed her baton into the water of his tank, he was restrained inside too so he couldn't fight back as the electricity coursed through him.

That way he would be turned docile too by Anhuka's touch and caring guidance, a shockingly effective treatment all in all.

Back at the base, Erik was eating sashimi from the regeneration and adrenalin glands from the crabmen, if it was possible, he really wanted that regeneration gland, and the adrenaline gland would possibly improve his existing adrenal glands over his kidneys, both were useful upgrades that could save his life if his sympathetic nervous system triggered a fight or flight response.

Also, the mind can be trained to have parasympathetic nervous system responses to stressful situations too, being able to rationalize even on moments of stress, and he had been trained to react like that, nothing had prepared him to face abyssal giant beasts up close or weird mind-bending alien beasts.

He finished an entire bucket of slimy, chewy, and salty crab glands sashimi, feeling a bit sick, as he couldn't eat anymore, deciding to go to his room and sleep to digest faster 'a good nap will help, so far this eating only reinforces or modifies existing organs, I wonder if it can really generate organs, maybe I should try to make a mock organ first...'.
