"But... damn it!"
"I, Kars... I am unwilling!"
"I am a... Ultimate Lifeform, how can I die in such a place!"
"C... Curse you!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"No!!!"
Kars screamed in despair, directly piercing through the silence of dawn.
No matter how hard Kars struggled and tried to evolve the cells in his body, he could not escape from the mouth of the octopus like hollow. His lower body was crushed by the sharp teeth around the mouth and swallowed into his body bit by bit.
The plan of hundreds of thousands of years had fallen through in one day!
In less than ten minutes, the joy of becoming an ultimate lifeform welcomed the darkest moment of his life!
The Pillar Man clan, who regarded humans as livestock and allowed them to slaughter and devour them, had now become food for hollow. Their status had suddenly changed from predator to prey, which made Kars, who was in despair, feel an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
"So... this is the feeling of 'Them'?"
With only one head left, Kars suddenly remembered all the creatures he had devoured. Would they be like him before they died, full of unwillingness and resentment, and thirst for life?
The life force of the Ultimate Lifeform was so huge that Kars, who only had one head left, could barely keep himself alive and conscious.
But that was it...
If there was no external interference, he might be able to regenerate other limbs like a gecko.
However, the sharp teeth around the monster's mouth were closing, and it would grind and break his hard skull in a moment. It would not take long for him to be completely devoured.
"No... I don't want to die!"
When the sharp teeth were about to grind the hard head, a strong desire to survive suddenly burst out in Kars' eyes. "I am an ultimate lifeform, an immortal existence. How can I die in such a place"
"I, Kars... will not die!"
"Just you wait. Even at the end of hell, I will crawl back and take revenge on you!"
Facing Kars' bitter curse before he died,
Lod nodded and said, "Okay, I will wait for you to take revenge on me. The premise is that you can still live."
Ho...
From the wriggling mouth of the octopus hollow, there was a disgusting chewing sound. The hard bones and flesh were fully ground red blood, flowing down along the tentacles that were full of suction cups.
And the screams of Kars finally disappeared.
...
...
...
"He... He was swallowed"
Seeing this scene through the telescope, Coulson was immediately full of doubts.
From Haschwalth's previous behavior, it was obvious that he was deliberately helping Kars so that he could evolve into an ultimate lifeform.
But he let the Menos Grande swallow Kars, so what was the meaning of this?
Was it just purely 'Experiment'?
No, impossible!
Although there was not much information about 'Haschwalth', as agent's sixth sense, it told Coulson that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. There should be a deeper motive!
It was this deeper 'motive' that lured Haschwalth to reappear!
But what was the motive?
Coulson frowned, an ominous feeling lingering in his heart.
For some reason...
His heartbeat had been accelerating since the beginning, and his blood pressure was constantly rising. The air around him seemed to become heavy, and even the birds in the sky disappeared.
All these strange changes seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen.
"Agent Coulson... You... Look over there..." The pilot's face was pale. He raised his trembling fingers as if he had seen something terrifying. Even the tone of his voice had changed.
Coulson looked in the direction the driver was pointing at, and his entire body shook as if he had been struck by lightning!
The giant octopus that could be seen without a telescope was shockingly wrapped around the towering Statue of Liberty. Tentacles covered in suckers were more than ten meters long, and they were still swinging wildly. Its mouths, which were as big as sea anemones, constantly poured into the air, as if they were greedily devouring some kind of energy!
"I understand!"
Coulson's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately understood.
Combined with Haschwalth's strange actions before, it was not difficult to understand why he first helped Kars, and then let Kars be swallowed by that big hollow, because Haschwalth's real plan was to make Kars, who became the ultimate creature, become the stepping stone on the path of the evolution of the Menos Grande!
Just by observing a little detail, Coulson almost restored the whole incident, and even guessed part of the intention of 'Haschwalth', but there was still the most important question that he could not understand.
According to the information death god revealed, the Quincy and hollow were natural enemies.
But since they were natural enemies, why did Haschwalth help hollow evolve?
"Damn it... Why? What does Haschwalth want to do?" Coulson secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Without the most important information, there is no way to analyze his intentions!"
"Roar -"
The strange howl was extremely sharp and ear-piercing, as if it could pierce through the soul of a human.
Coulson and the pilot, who were more than a hundred meters away from the monster, revealed a painful expression the moment they heard the voice. They covered their ears tightly, feeling as if their eardrums and cerebral cortex nerves were about to be torn apart!
Fortunately, the cry lasted for only a few seconds before it disappeared.
Coulson and the pilot gasped in pain. There was a trace of fear on each other's faces. After the hollow devoured the Ultimate Lifeform, it seemed to have become even more terrifying!
Evolution... Evolution!
Although Kars had been devoured by hollow, his cells had not completely died.
At the moment before death, the Ultimate lifeform evolved his cells into the form of a 'fungi' and then swallowed up the cells of hollow like a terrifying parasite!
Since I can't defeat you on the level of a living creature, I will devour you from the level of cells!
This was the ultimate lifeform, Kars' final plan!
He had found a way out of the originally hopeless situation, and he had even obtained an even stronger power!
How could Octopus hollow, who did not have an individual consciousness and only acted on instinct, contend against Kars who had 400 IQ?
Rumble...
The huge spiritual energy fluctuations formed a vortex, even throwing the originally clear sky into chaos!
A steady stream of spiritual droplets poured into Octopus hollow's body from the ocean-like mouth, then were divided up by countless greedy cells and turned into the energy source for the evolution of this' body ', advancing step by step towards a higher level!
"Not enough... not enough!"
"I need more power and more life energy!"
Kars' consciousness gradually gained the upper hand. He began to plunder more spiritual energy crazily, and he was not satisfied with this. He manipulated the tentacles covered with suction cups to reach out into the sea and devour all kinds of creatures in the sea!
"It's about time..."
Lod's eyes were full of satisfaction. He thought, "Nemu, let gigai of Haschwalth come over. It's my turn to go on stage."
