A crew of three is all you need.

White spawn is quite a weird substance. It can change temperature, texture, solidity, and it does all of that just by command. Once you want it to form the shape of a spade, it will do just that. Do you need some sandpaper? Then just change the texture to be rougher.

You can also make it warm and soft and use it as a blanket, or even make it a cooling fridge. Its default consistency is fluid, though it can become a solid brick if need be.

Now, as for the most important highlight - firstly, it's indestructible. Or rather, its durability is so high that it can only be damaged by itself, in other words only other users of the ability are able to combat your own, but here comes the fun part.

As far as I'm aware, there are very few people who have this ability, and even then, they can only use it in a very specific way, because there is a person above them who creates rules and restrictions on the usage of the ability.

That becomes obvious with the boss I'm up against now. He is only able to use up to 100 thousand white spawns, and, along with that, there are hundreds of rules the boss has to follow, which, in this case, were created by a figure known as Albert.

I have yet to find it who he is, but that's not important right now. As for the reason why I'm explaining all of these restrictions and stuff, that's quite simple.

I acquired this ability on my own, and that means I have no restrictions or rules on how to use the ability, in other words - I'm unbeatable by almost anything in the world.

The only people who pose a threat to me are the true owners of [White Spawn]; they're the ones in charge of all their minions, and I'm not planning to combat with any of them anytime soon.

~~~

"Wha-what? How? No, no, no, no! Are you one of the Godlikes, just like Albert? Oh, haha, now it makes sense. Of course, I stood no chance against a higher being like yourself." He made a dumb laugh, no hope left in his eyes.

"Hold up. This the second time I'm hearing about those "Godlikes", and, let me tell ya, I have no clue who they are. I'm just a human. Well, actually, no. I'm a Weaker Shade, and nothing more." A huge mass of White Spawn appeared in the air and shredded the demon's weak barrier he put all around the room to pieces.

"Just kill me already. This was a pointless fight from the get-go. The stupid Godlikes, thinking they can make us do anything. I'll repay you in my next life for sure." Looks like he didn't listen to what I said.

"How many times do I have to repeat myself, I'm not a Godlike. I'm a fucking Weak Shade, got it? And, no, I'm not gonna kill you. I've got better uses for you anyways." I want to grind him for experience in my spare time by using the revival potion and killing him over and over again, but I'm not sure if the potion works on those who died too long ago.

The now gigantic blob of white mass around us disappeared, and I created a new white chain in the air. One, two, three. Three chains, each three meters long. That should be enough.

The thing is, the best way to store something is by putting it into your inventory, but there are a few rules to how the inventory works. If it's a living thing, it has to either give you consent to be put into an inventory, or it has to be highly overpowered by you in all ways - unable to move or resist your attacks.

"Oh, I see what you're doing. Being in an inventory isn't a fun experience, it's quite the opposite. Enjoy your time." Blood figured out that I was gonna tie him up in the chains, which is exactly what I did.

"That is pretty smart, I have to say. I've never thought of using the inventory like that to carry living things around." Tetra, who was quietly standing in the corner during the fight, sounded pretty impressed.

"Well, you'll learn a few tricks here and there by staying around for a while, so being with me and Blood may not be that and for ya." As I finished the sentence, I opened my inventory and put the boss in.

I then took the chains back out, since I didn't need to keep them in my inventory anymore. Once the chains vanished, I turned to Tetra, who seemed to know quite a bit about the place.

~~~

"So, do you know what we need to do now? Surely, there's gonna be some sort of reward at the end of such a long dungeon." I remember that there's supposed to be a title you receive once you leave the dungeon.

"Look up. That's the wormhole." Oh, I forgot to check the ceiling.

Tetra stood still for a few seconds, and a transformation started to occur. Two massive wings stretched out from the back, and the antennae on her head extended and curved.

"That looks sick. I'm glad an abdomen didn't pop out, cause that would just look weird." Honestly, insects in this world look cool, especially their humanoid versions.

"The lower tier humanoid bees have abdomens, but I've evolved enough to outrun that problem. I thought it looked weird as well, so I went for the evolution branch which had more effect on the look rather than strength. I do regret it, though." She looked down for a second and then took off into the air.

I jumped up, creating platforms to jump off of mid-air, flying by the queen bee. The wormhole was quite far, about a 5-minute flight.

"I don't agree with that. Looking good is quite important, for example, if you need to seduce someone. I heard the human males like mating with the best looking females, so you could use your look to your advantage that way." Blood gave his thought on the matter.

"I've gotta agree with Blood on this one. Having you on our side could be helpful against certain individuals." I created another platform and jumped once again.

"River, you used to be a human, and you still look like one. Shouldn't you be trying to make Tetra mate with you?" This goat head clearly doesn't know how that works.

"H-what?" The queen bee was caught off guard with that comment.

"Hahaha. You know what, I'm not gonna teach you how normal people act just for fun." I like the random assumptions Blood gets about humans every so often.

"What, so you're telling me you're a normal person? That's just not true." There are definitely weirder people than me, but okay.

"Fair enough."

~~~

We went through the wormhole.

Hippity hippity hoppity, the boss is now my property.

The Dump's grand finale is just around the corner, and our unstoppable crew will go out into the outside world together for the first time.

Hope you enjoyed, see ya next time~
