Chapter 263: Chapter 244: Rebirth
When You Huan's consciousness entered the Black Water Life, most of his senses were immediately deprived.
What was sensed was not darkness, but nothingness.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before, as if he had returned to the era of single cells.
But at the same time, he could sense the powerful vitality and activity within this body.
His instincts were already stirring, hoping to find an excellent "host" to build a stronger body for himself.
Even though he had no limbs or facial features, he could vaguely feel the temper and aggression emanating from his body.
This does seem to be inconsistent with the black water in the movie.
After being surprised, he immediately opened the panel to check.
[Race: Black Water Life]
[Phase: Black Water Period]
[Talent: Parasitism, Genetic Assimilation, Flesh and Blood Seizure]
[Skills: None]
[Level: Lv.1 (0/10)]
The content is very brief, but every word reveals a uniqueness that belongs only to Black Water Life.
The stages are no longer developmental stages such as childhood-adolescence-youth, and it seems that this description does not apply to his current situation.
Instead, the term "black water period" was used, referring to the fact that he is currently... just a pool of black water.
Three talents: first parasitize, then use the host's genes for its own use, and finally absorb the host's blood and flesh for nutrition and break out of the body.
This should be a one-stop service.
He had reason to suspect that once he found a host and left the Black Water Period, both his talents and skills would undergo tremendous changes.
Judging from the movie setting and various speculations on the Internet, the black water was first discovered or created by a race called Engineers or white giants.
Blackwater is a swarming organism that can cause matter to become chaotic, causing drastic changes in genes and shaping unique life forms.
It is an organic substance with unlimited potential in theory.
It is also the source of the birth of aliens.
However, the black water in the movie needs to undergo a transformation within the body of a living organism and be parasitized again by the face hugger that breaks out of the body before it can finally form a more perfect form.
I don't know whether this black water life also needs such troublesome steps to transform into its final form.
If that's the case, his "preliminary preparations" will be a little more troublesome.
Closing the panel, he prepared to give it a try.
Although he has no eyes and cannot see the outside world, a vague sense of homology allows him to perceive things.
In addition to this pool of black water, there are a large number of its own kind around it, also black water.
His arrival merely gave consciousness to a small pool of black water.
In order to prevent the surrounding black water from snatching away their "good things".
He thought about it and took out a small piece of thing from the space card.
This thing looks like a piece of meat with fuzz growing on it.
But if you feel it carefully, you will find that this piece of meat has independent activity. It is a dormant living being without subjective consciousness.
In fact, just this small piece of meat was a splicing of the genes of several creatures that he had killed and stored in his previous worlds.
Xiao Pu uses his abilities to cultivate various samples and then piece them together at the microscopic level.
Every small part of a piece of meat contains all the genetic information of an organism.
The entire piece of meat is a puzzle that can be infinitely assembled and can be expanded or reduced.
As soon as this "black technology meat block" appeared, You Huan felt an extremely strong desire...
In the huge, quiet and dim room, oval-shaped containers stood quietly above the treacherous ocean of surging black water.
In the silence, the black water at the top of a container slowly began to wriggle, completely dyeing an object black.
Invade the flesh and blood and steal genes.
The black water turned into tiny particles and flowed in the warm ocean of flesh and blood.
It spreads like ink and like a plague.
Genes are absorbed, flesh and blood melt, and turn into nutrients to grow a new fetus.
It was a wonderful feeling. You Huan felt that his thoughts floated high into the air in an instant, and saw a bridge made of a large amount of black water rising from below and connecting with him.
Some fragmentary images flashed by, and he vaguely glimpsed some of the previous life memories of the source of these genes.
It's as if their souls have not completely disappeared and are still vibrating along with the spiral of DNA.
But the next moment, the invasion of black water destroyed all these memories and fragments of the soul.
All become "myself".
Soon, he completely parasitized this piece of meat and assimilated all of its genes.
Xiao Pu's technique makes the piece of meat "alive", so he can do this.
But soon, a stronger feeling of desire and dissatisfaction came over me.
Not enough, not enough!
This amount of meat is simply not enough to support his second birth!
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He used his consciousness to open the space card and directly threw out a strange-looking creature.
It has the characteristics of dragons such as the Ghostclaw, Light Fury, and Red Death from the world of How to Train Your Dragon, and you can even vaguely see the appearance of monsters from the world of Pacific Rim.
He has an ugly appearance and looks like a weird creature.
But all he needs are its genes and nutrition.
The black water quickly spread through the technical splicing channel created by Xiao Pu between the piece of meat and the organism.
Big lumps suddenly appeared on the surface of this creature.
It was as if something foreign was wriggling beneath its surface.
You Huan felt that he was inside its body, reshaping his body at an astonishing speed.
The sensitivity of the limbs, head, and tail has returned.
However, as he rapidly transformed, the appearance of such a large creature also provoked reactions from other black waters around him.
A large amount of black water surged, trying to invade its body.
But as soon as it invaded the body surface, it was forcibly repelled by the black water of the same origin and extremely ferocious.
Because he was the first to occupy this body, You Huan not only took shape extremely quickly, but was also able to influence and repel the surrounding black water.
Gradually, the swelling on the creature's surface disappeared, and the trembling body calmed down.
"Sizzle—"
A crisp tearing sound echoed in the surging ocean of black water.
You Huan shook his head, tore into the creature's abdomen, and slowly crawled out of the warm flesh and blood.
Halfway up, he realized something was wrong and kicked his hind legs.
——He has not yet completely severed connection with the external "mother body". The back half of his body and most of his back are still attached to the outer layer of flesh and blood.
He is still continuously absorbing nutrients from the living being outside.
His body was still changing rapidly.
This is a bit different than any of the creatures created by Black Water in the movies.
I don't know if it's because the world has been distorted, or if the parasite he chose is too special, integrating a large number of unique life genes.
In short, his current condition is similar to that of an unformed fetus that was born prematurely.
I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while before it's fully formed.
but...
He raised his head, which was still covered with a layer of warm blood.
Like the classic Alien character, he has no visible eyeballs.
Instead, it is replaced by a photosensitive organ hidden under the long skull that can collect external light information in a 360-degree angle.
The light recognition range is much greater than that of humans.
Now he could see the world around him with incredible clarity.
And in this world, he saw several uninvited guests.
"hiss..."
A strange hissing sound echoed in the silent Black Water Room.
Several figures with long bodies and multiple pairs of legs appeared at the door.
The jet-black exoskeleton on his body almost blends into the surrounding walls.
It was as if he sensed the unique scent of the life form that You Huan used to give birth to him again, or perhaps he sensed the smell of blood from the amniotic membrane that gave birth to You Huan.
These black water creatures, transformed from some unknown creature, rushed into the room quickly.
You Huan immediately stood up and, without any instruction, issued a warning hiss at the monsters.
"hiss..."
The response of these black water creatures was to open their mouths, stretch out their forelimbs, and pounce forward!
