Ch 7: Expect The Unexpected

'well that worked perfectly but now it's time to find the sea dragon egg'. I then slowly swim forward and look over the small worker bot as I swim past him and make it into the room with the egg and warper parts.

'this feels wrong but It will be useful for the future though I guess I should respect the dead egg before I just eat it'. While I look at the egg with conflicting thoughts but also thinking that it's already dead so it won't matter morally.

'Let's get it over with shall we'. I quickly break the specimen tank and eat the sea dragon egg while hardly chewing my teeth on the hard shell.

Sea Dragon Leviathan DNA

Mutations Gained: Heat-proof tissue

as I finish swallowing the long-dead sea dragon egg I feel my entire body burn to various degrees with my underbelly burning the most as the tissue and flesh under my exoskeleton becoming incredibly heat resistant to the point where even napalm or lava can't burn through.

'Well, that was definitely a good gain as I can now go into the lava zone without needing to worry about being burnt to a crisp by the radiating heat'.

'though now I should eat the other things in here especially the warper parts which I'm slightly surprised I haven't seen any yet as I feel as I would have by now'.

'but for now, it's time to eat'. As I quickly rush around the facility rooms eating all of the animals in the specimen cases. But leaving the Warper parts last.

Mutations Gained: N/A

[Blueprint Absorption]

Warper Blueprint

Parts Gained: Warp Organ

while I finish swallowing that last bit of the warper parts besides what's on the assembly line I feel my head burn terribly as something metallic but also organic appears as I feel the ability to teleport miles away at a simple thought.

'I'm so happy I came here though my head still hurts slightly which is strange but I wasn't expecting another part of the system to come up and let me actually let me get this'.

'but before we get too excited I need to practice this as even though I have the feeling I can teleport miles away I don't want to materialize within a wall and kill myself'.

'though now that I have everything I want here it's time to leave though I also kind of want to try something'. I then start to swim towards the skeleton known as specimen THETA

'let's see if it works and I kind of hope that it does'. as I take a giant bite of the dead fishes skeleton and start grinding it down with my teeth before swallowing it.

[DNA Absorption]

Lurker Leviathan DNA

Mutations Gained: N/A

'so I can get something from eating fossils. That's good and also incredibly useful, sadly I didn't get anything from this guy though but I did get to see his species' original name before being known as specimen THETA'.

'but now I have to make a couple more pitstops before I go help the empress though I don't think she would mind all too much'. as I start to swim out of the facility and head towards the Gargantuan leviathan skeleton.

'well this is definitely a big boy though I should get a lot of useful things from him so let's start digging in and see what we get'. I then start biting into one of the ribs of the fossil and start swallowing it.

[DNA Absorption]

Gargantuan Leviathan DNA

Mutations Gained: Telepathy, Energy Drain, and Ultraspeed Regeneration.

as I finish swallowing a 3rd bite of the bone I feel my head hurt as somehow feel the cells in my brain move at faster speeds and continuously duplicate letting me perceive my surroundings to an extraordinary degree as well as the sudden impact of the thoughts of the animals around me.

while my brain is going through a metamorphosis my body starts to rewire the entire system of how I release electricity from my electric organ and modify it letting me also siphon bio-electricity from the surrounding fish.

as my body also sheds an entire layer of scales and a new layer of an exoskeleton replacing the old one as well as reworking my entire inner structure letting my body produce more cells at an even faster rate than I already did making me grow faster as well as denser.

[Awaking Host]

'what just happened'. I start to suddenly look around myself as I wake up. 'Since when can I evolve and why did it randomly happen what is going on right now'.

[The host exceeded the evolution threshold hold and the system forcefully evolved you as well as combined your, mutations for the best possible outcomes.]

'well thank you I guess since if I went over the threshold it was for the hopeful best but what is with the mutations being combined also thank you for knocking me out I was having a problem with getting telepathy suddenly'.

[Since the host didn't willfully combine the mutations the system will be giving you an in-depth explanation of what they do though one of them you should already feel the effects of.]

'well yeah, I can, Everything within a 10-mile radius I can sense perfectly as well as here the thoughts of the fish which is incredibly freaky if I'm going to be honest. though besides all of that please show me the new mutation details'.

[Fluids of Typhon: The Fluids of Typhon are highly deadly to the point where they can almost kill everything on this planet except a few things as it is a combination of a highly acidic compound that can melt through steel and even glass. while also being able to completely poison an animal the size of an adult clover and kill it in under a minute. this fluid can also paralyze an adult clover as well leaving it completely still as it dies. These fluids pump throughout your entire body making you the definition of fuck around and find out]

'holy mother of Christ how is my bodily fluid so deadly this doesn't make scientific sense as well as my original mutations are incredibly weaker compared to this'.

[that is because when the system merges mutations optimizes them as well and puts them together at an atomic level well enough to complement each other to such a good extent that it amplifies the properties of itself.]

'that still doesn't make sense but let's just continue to the next description before my brain fails'.

[Leviathan's Body: Leviathan's Body makes your previous patchwork-like body perfectly blend making your body as flexible yet dense as possible while making you immune to temperatures down to -320F or -196C up to 10,000F or 5,772C. Your body is also immune to electricity up to 300 million volts with an amperage of 30,000.]

'I don't know what to say to this besides why would I need to resist that much heat and voltage, second of all am I fighting a god soon or something because by the lord this is crazy. let's just get the next one'.

[Heimdall's Senses: Heimdall's Senses makes your sense of sight and feeling increase by a dramatic degree as you are now able to see and feel everything within a 10-mile radius casually but if enough willpower is used you can detect everything within an 80-mile radius. though as an alternative to seeing farther away you can instead bring the radius closer to make it where you can see in an even more in-depth layer to the smallest flinch in a muscle.]

'just give me the next one while I process the inform of this one'.

[Devouring Maw: Devouring Maw allows you to eat anything and chew through anything as well while also making your digestive system process anything eaten without issues. also giving you the ability to enlarge your jaw by 5 times to take larger bites.]

'as simple as this one sounds it truly isn't god I can eat anything in just about one bite now and I could already do that by god at this point I can eat a blue whale in one bite. show me the last one so we can get this over with'.

[Phoenix's Organs: Phoenix's Organs make the body able to practically regenerate instantly as long as you have eaten as it will cause a rapid duplication of cells. though besides from the healing factor your body is able to produce and release the same amount of electricity that you can handle at a maximum giving you the ability to instant vaporize water and wipe out anything nearby because you superheated it. While also increasing the blood flow of the three hearts making sure oxygen gets through the body as quickly as possible while simultaneously being immune to poison]

'why just why, I don't need to be this strong for this world. I can probably go to most other worlds now and be considered an earth-ending threat, but I'm here on this easy-ass planet. which is honestly a good thing as this place is a great start'.

'though besides all of that thank you system for the explanations I'm just going to head down to where the queen is because at this point I can probably get by everything else by just using my senses'.

[You're welcome host though the system A.I. will now be put to rest until this function is actually unlocked goodbye and please have fun.]

'let's just get this over with so I can go explore other places as I just want to be done with here'. I then quickly propel myself at speeds that I would have never imagined previously though because of my newly enhanced sense's I can still see perfectly fine.

'honestly, it feels like fast traveling because I'm already inside of the Primary Containment Facility though I know it's not because I watched myself do it'.

'now let's go help the empress'. I start to walk forward in my currently shrunken form thankfully not needing to use a different form. 'well it's time to say hi as I jump down into the moonpool-like area and see the empress suddenly stop and look at me in confusion.

"How are you here. How did I not sense you". The empress questions in confusion as she stares at me and comes toward the moonpool platform to observe me.

"Well, I'm here because I disabled the doors outside and you didn't sense me because I didn't want you well at least until right now. Though besides all of that, I'm here to help you get out of here as well as your children".

"Though should I believe you young leviathan as I have never sensed you until now though I guess I don't really have a choice if I want my children to live".

"to be honest with you I would help you either way as you finally deserve to rest and your children to live. But for now let's get this portal started and your kids hatched".

'I kinda want to see if this works though I'm hoping it does because it will be very useful if so'. while I swim towards the eggs I shrink myself and sit in front of the console and chew my fin open letting my blood flow over the console as it takes my blood and sends it into the eggs.

'I hope this works'. I then start to stare at the eggs intensely waiting for a reaction of some kind and hoping for them to hatch. 'well it seems like it's a bust though it shouldn't be too hard to get the ingredients'.

as I start to remember where all the ingredients are for the hatching enzyme I see the eggs start to shake and crack as all the baby sea emperors start to come out.

'that's cliche but I'm not going to complain but now it's time to power the gate'. I then swim towards the gate and figure out where a good spot is. "how did you do that". the sea empress asks while looking me over.

"I just tested something to see if it would work nothing else though I'm trying to figure this out". I say back to the sea empress as I zone back in on the warp gate.

'wait why don't I try and teleport us that would be so much easier'. I then quickly turn around and open a giant portal then quickly swim through it and hope it takes me to where I want.

'perfect exactly what I wanted'. as I look at the surroundings and see the familiar mountains and the sound of ghost Leviathans shrieking. 'the good old gun now let's get those guys here'.

I then quickly swim back through the portal and look over the baby sea emperors. "They can go through now I can also make one big enough for you if you would like". I tell the sea empress and hope she takes me up on my offer.

"I would happily follow my children as it would make it easier to ensure their survival so thank you". The sea empress says to me with evident gratitude in her voice.

"Well then please swim through the portal and experience the currents like you once were able to". As I open a giant portal in front of the precursor one letting the sea empress slowly swim through.

"Welcome back to the surface". As I look over at the precursor structure in front of me as well as seeing the giant gun. "Thank you for hatching my children and letting me experience this again". The sea empress says with a happy and grateful tone.

-----------------------------

{A/N Well that's how we are ending it today but I do have a very important question that I have been struggling to decide on.

do we keep the sea empress alive and make her waifu or do we let her die and then eat her. Because I generally don't know what to decide and I have a storyline set up for either choice.

besides that, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and I will now put the usual below so I can go to sleep.
