Chapter 46: Chapter 46 - Eating And Growing (Final)
She rested for a few seconds, allowing her mind to get used to the evolution of her body before she finally stood up and returned to eating.
The following mutant on her list to eat was the man that had the horns and odd skin.
Eating him was easy; what came next was the odd part.
Usually, when she devoured a mutant, her body would replicate their X-Gene and alter it to fit her needs.
However, this time it was more like her body was devouring the entire coding from the man, purging the X-Gene, and isolating a very diluted coding from within the man.
Suddenly as her body replicated the coding, her eyes turned completely black, and her mind blanked.
She felt as if her consciousness was suddenly pulled into another place; however, she was still anchored to the many hive units on Earth due to the hivemind.
She found herself staring out onto a place that could only be described as hell.
The land was filled with fire and stone, broken and dry as if rain had never graced the ground, and yet it also had tall buildings and castles that decorated it. Showing that life had lived here.
The sky was greyish with a tint of red as if reflecting the flames and lava of the hell below. A thick smog of smoke clogged out the space above.
She could hear the roars and screams of what she could only assume were monsters or some form of demonic creature.
People, if they can be called that, could be seen walking or even flying along the area; they had abnormal looks.
Horns and tails, some looked like they were made out of slime, others had tentacles coming out from their bodies, and some even looked like dwarves or horsepeople, like from tales of fantasy.
Her eyes glanced over the people around her, them walking by her as if she wasn't there until suddenly she felt a figure sitting near a window turn to look at her.
Before she could make out who the figure was or even get a good view of their cloaked figure, she was suddenly pulled back to her body, the vision fading into nothing but a memory.
Finding herself back in her body in reality, she looked around, confused as to what had just happened.
"What was that?"
She questioned aloud but expected no answer.
She glanced inwardly and observed the X-Gene she had just acquired, only to be surprised upon the revelation that she hadn't gained a new X-Gene.
Instead, she had gained an entirely new Physiology from an entirely new species.
Demon.
Less Demon, to be exact.
It seemed like the man was actually the descendant of some sort of Demon, and the X-Gene most likely attached itself to his latent demonic lineage, which triggered it to activate along with the X-Gene, which made it seem as if his mutant powers were his demonic form.
But that wasn't the case; his X-Gene negatively affected his true capabilities in his situation, so when she devoured him, her body purged it.
'Then was that one of the many Hells Marvel has?'
She thought to herself that the prospect of visiting one of the hells was intriguing.
Especially since it would have so much she could devour to grow.
But she wasn't strong enough for that yet.
Especially whatever the figure was, it felt very powerful.
Shaking her head, she decided to put that on the back burner for now.
She didn't have the power to figure out anything about it, nor the time, so she moved on to eating.
Moving on to the next body, she ate the woman that had the ability to create acid from her body, devouring her entirely.
She felt the adaption happening quickly, her body replicating and changing the X-Gene to fit her needs until, finally, it was finished.
It didn't take too long, but once it was done, she could feel the acid in her pores; it felt like she could create and excrete them at any time.
It was interesting, but there was a better place and time to test it.
Instead, she moved on to eating another person, the girl that was called Cara.
She devoured her and could feel the X-Gene being replicated at a rapid speed. It seemed as if her current body had something that was similar to the ability the girl had.
When it was done, she was able to find out why.
The girl had the ability to harden her skin, turning it into some sort of organic armor like that of a crab. This increased Lily's durability to an extent while in that form, but it wasn't very useful.
She moved along and ate one of the other people that were with her as well, the black-haired lady that seemed relatively normal, devouring her.
When she finished eating her, and the X-Gene was replicated and adapted to fit her needs, she suddenly felt a burst of energy following within her body.
It was a mixture of the mental energy she felt when she was attempting to read minds, but something else was also mixed in.
A different type of energy, if it was even a type of energy, to begin with.
Soul Projection?
The mutant ability of the lady was to project her soul outside of her body and survive independently from her body, meaning even if her body died, so would she if her soul survived.
It was interesting, but Lily didn't plan to use it yet, not until she was sure she didn't have to worry about the Ancient One at least.
Only a few bodies left.
Next up was the girl with the energy blast ability.
Lily ate her and replicated the mutation rather quickly, her body adapting it to fit her.
It was a rather odd ability because it allowed her to tap into some sort of energy within the air, condense it, and send it in a direction in the form of a wave.
It wasn't very strong, but she was sure it could improve with time, so she was pleased with it.
Moving on to the old lady, she decided to eat her quickly and move on.
When she did, however, she felt an odd change to her mental projection, like rather than creating a new X-Gene using the replicated gene, it was simply altering the existing X-Gene she got before.
Adding a new ability, and it did just that.
She could feel the change to the mental energy now; it was a good change, a change in quality rather than quantity.
She was now able to not only read the minds of others that her mental energy infected but also forcefully make them feel the emotions she wanted them to.
It obviously had limitations, such as their will, mental strength, and range, but it was advantageous.
Next up was the man with the superhuman body; he was someone Lily looked forward to eating the most since it would allow her to get a significant boost in her physical capabilities without wasting mass.
Eating him took a while; his muscles were quite dense and hard to chew on, but she eventually finished him.
When her body had finally finished adapting to his X-Gene, taking quite a while, she could feel the change in it.
She had grown slightly taller, not by much, just a little, but her body was more muscular than it was before.
She could feel the density of her muscles and bones, her strength had spiked by a large margin, and for the first time, she fully understood how much the man held back while fighting her.
To say it kindly, she could kill herself easily if she fought herself before getting the X-Gene based purely on physical strength.
She wanted to test it; it felt too good to not try.
With a smile on her face, she stood up and punched the wall; the banging sound it created upon impact echoed out like a thunderclap, the wall shattering into pieces from the impact of her blow.
And that was her holding back.
"This is dangerous."
She said.
She might squish anything she hit if she didn't hold back properly while using this strength.
That would be a waste of food.
Only two bodies were left, so she went to quickly eat them.
She ate the masked man first, her body quickly adapting to his mutation.
She could even feel part of his mutation being adapted to fit along with her Mental Projection X-Gene rather than forming on its own.
However, it seemed the man had two mutant abilities because an X-Gene still formed.
Ink Creation, it could have been more outstanding, but it could definitely be helpful for things.
What interested her most about the man was the mental ability she got from him, the ability to enter other people's minds and find their guilty secrets.
It sounded weird, and that was because it was.
It did literally what it said; she could find out things about them that they felt guilty about and wouldn't want others to find out.
Like things they would take to the grave, things they did that they regretted a lot, kinks they were ashamed of, and more.
It was interesting and could be helpful when fighting people that hide well.
But now she was onto the last person and the one she looked forward to the most.
Dreamer.
Lily devoured her quickly as if someone else would take her food from her.
And as soon as the ability was finished adapting, being added to her mental projection ability again, she could feel just how powerful it was.
It was perhaps the most remarkable change the ability had undergone so far, increasing in quantity and quality simultaneously.
It was potent enough to now affect much more people at once, and she could alter their memories.
That's not all; she could see, change, erase, or even implant her own memories into their minds.
It had its limitations, but to put it lightly, it was broken.
'This massively changes the game.'
She said with a smile, her mind already working on new plans for which she could use this ability.
She had finished eating. Finally, everything she could gain was gained, and she was happy.
She would finally head home, but not before checking her stats.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
ZeroX0666
ZeroX0666 This chapter came out much longer than I planned, but I decided not to split it. The next chapter will mainly be about her status and her heading home.
This also gave her a large boost in strength, specifically her physical capabilities, so there will be a lot more of that from now on.
Anyways, be sure to comment; I enjoy reading them. I read all comments.
Also for anyone curious I have a few interests in mind so far;
Emma Frost
Goblin Queen
Spiderwoman - Gwen
Satana Hellstrom
Nothing decided though.
Chapter 47: Chapter 47 - Status Update
Lily stood up and finally opened her status for the first time in a long time, getting a good look at the growth she had undergone.
While she could feel it as the status was nothing but an extension of her DNA, seeing it with her own eyes was still satisfying.

Less Demon Physiology - The user has adapted a body and genetic coding similar to that of a demon from one of the many Hells; however, it is much lesser due to generations of diluting. This allows the user to speak Demonic Script, Lesser Charm Aura, Lesser Life Drain, and Lesser Eye of Suppression. The user can also temporarily go into overdrive, allowing their form to become more demonic to temporarily boost all demonic abilities.
Acid Secretion XGene - At will, the user can exude acid from their body that is capable of searing a path through solid stone in seconds. The user's physical body and clothing are unaffected by the acid.
Hardening XGene - At will, the user can harden their skin into an organic layer of armor that can increase durability.

Superhuman Body XGene - The user has the body of a superhuman, granting them a significant increase in strength, durability, stamina, and senses.
Ink Manipulation XGene - The user can create and control a type of non-toxic black ink.
Other abilities are dormant until the user has fully awakened]
Glancing over her expansive status information, Lily couldn't help but be amazed at the sudden spike in power she had.
The first thing she noticed was the massive increase in her stats, with her strength and durability reaching numbers over 300.
That sudden and exponential increase could only be attributed to the superhuman mutation she had gotten from the man; as for her other stats, they didn't fall behind either.
All of her stats aside from energy had reached a hundred or above, with the increase in her speed being attributed to a mixture of different mutants, primarily the weredog, less demon body, and superhuman capabilities.
As for her mental attribute, it was boosted due to her sudden increase in mental-related mutations and all the mutations she gained that fused together to make them better.
As for her lowest stat of all, energy, it had increased quite a bit but not as significant as the others because her mutations didn't have much to do with energy.
Aside from the energy blast mutation, and maybe even the radiation one.
But that was completely fine; she could keep growing it in the future.
Something else her eyes fell on was the massive amount of mass she had collected. Over 30000 mass had been collected from all the mutants she devoured.
A large chunk of that mass came from the man with the radiation power.
'Radiation gives a lot of mass?'
It was a theory she had to test out eventually. Still, she didn't have any easily accessible source of radiation she could just casually eat, so it would be on hold for now.
Finally, she glanced over the abilities she had gained, and she was delighted with them.
Due to these new abilities, she would have to change some of the plans she was currently working on. Some would make her plans more accessible, and some even opened up new paths for her to work with that she didn't have before.
Ideas, lots of them flooded her mind.
But for now, it was time to head home and get some rest.
