214 – Side Story – Lumia Ovse
“uuu looking at us…”
A day has passed since the great incident at Karma, a large prison that caused an uproar not only on the artificial island but also around the world, ended.
“Ugh… Ugh….”
At the scene of the crime, which was neglected due to being left behind in order to track down the prime suspect, Trauma, who suddenly disappeared from the rooftop, a moaning sound so faint that you have to listen to it begins to echo.
“Ah, ah… Ah…”
Of course, it was not the voices of prisoners or guards who had already been exterminated, nor was it the cries of demonic beasts that were writhing in all directions and trying to reveal themselves.
“Ah… Ugh…”
– Wiggle, wiggle…
On the floor just below the rooftop, that is, on the top floor, a being slowly crawled forward, distorted to the point where its original form could not be estimated.
The identity of the terrible creature that seems to have crawled out of hell is exactly that.
“…Gang Ha-neul.”
It was ‘Lumia’, who suffered serious injuries to Kang Ha-neul and his party and struggled but was eventually subdued, and was horribly distorted by merging with monsters.
“Sky… Where… Is…?”
Even though she couldn’t see when her eyes were open, she crawled in front of her with the bright red eyes that had managed to remain until then, and muttered this in her mesmerized voice.
– Well done…
“I can’t see the sky…”
The eyes, which have already lost focus, move aimlessly, looking for someone.
Perhaps the target is a boy whose name she muttered just now.
“Why… Why…?”
But of course there was no way he could be here.
Because the boy she unconsciously mentioned had already finished everything and left here with her colleagues.
Not only them, but also all the heroes were organized into a pursuit team, so Lumia had to wait at least a day for the second team to arrive before she could see anyone again.
“Why… Can’t I see…?”
But of course there was no way she knew that.
“It should be… In front of me by now…”
In the first place, she was fatally injured by Kang Haneul and her party, and she had become something that could not even be called human, so she was unable to make rational judgments.
“Where… Have you gone… Sky…”
Because of this, Lumia, who was just crawling forward while endlessly searching for the whereabouts of the river sky, suddenly stopped her movements.
– Crackling…
The spikes sticking out of the remains of the building that were scattered mercilessly on the floor were already tearing the flesh of what was believed to be her leg.
“Ugh…”
Lumia, who was watching the scene with her unfocused eyes, tried to force her body to twist, but instead the spikes tore through her skin and dug inward.
Thanks to that, her body could no longer move forward even if she tried.
“…How did this happen?”
Rumia, who subconsciously noticed that fact, eventually gave up her movements and lowered her head.
“I… Definitely…”
In her mind, memories from a very distant past began to unfold.
“At that time…..”
Her first memory that made her reach this ending.
.
.
.
.
.
The oldest memory I have experienced since I opened my eyes, but which I had intentionally forgotten.
“…..Subject No. 001.”
“……..”
“Subject number 001. Please answer.”
That was, researchers wearing white coats waking me up in a test tube.
“……?”
“Experiment. Answer.”
Of course, at that time, I couldn’t even understand the voice coming from outside the test tube, let alone answer, so I just kept my eyes open.
“Is there no intelligence…?”
“But… Humility said so. Successful test subjects are born with intelligence and intelligence from the beginning.”
“Then… The first test subject was a failure as expected.”
However, as time passed, I was able to instinctively recognize the nuance and meaning of what they were saying.
I guess I am an artificial life form that was just created.
The guys who forcibly awakened me, who had been sleeping in a dark space for eons, using some kind of method, seem to have been created using parts of my body.
Thanks to that, my sleeping consciousness flowed into this body.
But it seems that those watching me were not very satisfied.
“Well, the act of creating something from nothing in the first place is a great thing…”
“But how is this possible? How can a result like this be achieved with just some cells grown from those strangely shaped body parts?”
“Shh, it’s not just a body part, it’s a by-product of a ‘great being’.”
“That’s also strange. A being summoned from outside the dimension. Even in a world where supernatural powers appear, this is too unrealistic…”
From Noble mtl dot com
As their words continue, the language becomes easier to understand.
Is it because of the power contained in the genes themselves?
Or is it because I originated from ‘something’ that is much higher-dimensional and superior to the species in front of me?
‘Disgusting…’
Curiosity about the beings observing me in front of me soon turns into disgust.
Who are you ‘observing’?
No matter how well I treat them, they are uncivilized things that cannot even reach half of my existence?
“Then what should I do? Should I dispose of it?”
“No, first contact the ‘7 Major Goods’ people…”
“Well, but… You might be disappointed and startled by the prototype. Just quietly discard it and put a lot of effort into it again…”
That feeling of irritation was replaced when the uncivilized beings in front of me began to discuss the meaning of my existence.
– Pajijik…
“…Huh?”
This is the very powerful murderous intent that this unstable body, created for the first time by barbarian beings who dare not understand me as much as an ant toe, felt.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Object destabilization status: 97%]
[Each researcher urgently moves to a safe place…]
As if there was a safety device in place, the space where the uncivilized things were standing suddenly turned red.
“W-what…”
“The test subject is running away! We must get out of here immediately…!”
But it was already too late.
– Sigh…
The moment when I, who was just floating in the test tube with an expressionless expression, slightly raised my hand.
– Kugwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa….!!!!!!
Instantly, heat that could not be measured by the units of savage life forms that were created exploded and enveloped the space where they were standing.
– Gooooo…
Just a few seconds later, all life forms within a 1km radius of me leaving the test tube were annihilated.
– Turp, trudge…
I watched the scene quietly for a while and then tried to move on.
“…Ugh.”
I soon began to feel pain throughout my body, so I frowned and sat down in my seat.
“Tch…..”
The body, which had been fine until just a moment ago, was rapidly collapsing.
How can you say that you only used this much strength to collapse so quickly?
I thought it was a problem with the bowl.
This savage creature’s body definitely had a difficult time capturing myself perfectly.
It was natural for me to collapse, unable to handle my high-dimensional essence.
‘If this happens… I can’t help it…’
If things continue like this, the moment I open my eyes again, it will be pointless and disappear.
There is only one way to prevent it now.
For a moment, we forget our essence as high-dimensional beings and assimilate with these lower-order living beings.
‘I don’t really feel like it, but…’
If you think about it, it was something close to corruption or downfall for me, but even so, there was a chance of victory.
I feel it somewhere in this world.
If you can obtain it, you will be able to be reborn as a great, high-dimensional being.
Until you find that being and devour it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to enjoy it for a while.
No matter how much it looks like this, of course the essence of being a high-dimensional being does not change.
‘After regaining my body… It wouldn’t be a bad idea to enjoy a slow feast…’
The dark dimension I was floating in was an extremely lonely space, blocked from the light-filled dimension beyond.
I don’t know how they were created, but quite a few beings similar to me have left the void, but I’m probably the first one to have grown to this level.
In that case, it would be more fun to play and devour these light-filled dimensions than to return there again.
– Tsuzuzuzuzu…
With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes and decided to slowly assimilate into the body and abandon myself as a ‘high-dimensional being’ for a while.
Because I need to become human for a moment in order to access the ‘core being’ of this dimension that I need to regain my power.
The inevitable dislike for humans can be replaced with another method.
Then what should I replace it with?
Well, I decided to think about it later.
Anyway, the moment she finds that guy, she completely abandons her memories and uses her instincts to slowly obtain him.
And then, it is slowly being swallowed up.
What kind of facial expression will the protagonist of this world make when he is swallowed up by me?
Will you cry from the shock of being betrayed by me? Or will he smile happily because he has been slowly being eaten by me for so long?
If that’s not the case, wouldn’t it have already been broken and there would be no reaction?
‘…I’m sure it will be fun no matter what happens.’
I felt the feeling of ‘joy’ for the first time in a long time, and I closed my eyes.
