I flew to the monster cradle with the utmost haste. Upon arriving, I noticed the monster horde was much larger than I had originally thought, none of monsters were familiar to me in the slightest. I guess it's time for me to make a discovery for the betterment of Ohmdorra! From here the monsters all had the same lizard-like features, but only a few were the size of wyvern and full-grown dragons. As for the other...
The rest were bipedal humanoid lizardmen for lack of a better comparison wearing crude armor and wielding crude spears, swords, wooden shields, and other weapons. The large quadrupedal lizards all appeared to be the same species, but used different elements. Whereas, the largest of them didn't have wings, but looked to weight tons given the deep footprints they left as their slow body meandered about.
Regardless, they will all meet the same fate. Releasing my bloodline radiation to the fullest and my radioactive bloodlust, I shot down towards the center of the horde. My descended body was like a humanoid meteor, blood red flames engulfed my being.
My descent was also cloaked in Ra's Domain, protecting me from any anti-air attacks. I swiftly evoked Atomicsaber at the moment I slammed into the ground. Meanwhile, the shockwave from my landing was so intense, anything too close was crushed or vaporized. (Ahh... such delicious destruction!!)
When the dust settled, a crater 100m in diameter and 20m deep was all that remained. Further, everything within a 1km radius of ground zero was destroyed, uprooted, and vaporized save the strongest of the horde and those far enough away to not get caught in the blast.
Seeing the destruction my entrance wrought made my blood boil from excitement. To be honest I must come clean… I am a deathmonger and I revel in the wailings and one-sided slaughter of all who oppose me. The pleasure I get from the single-handed slaughter make me immorally hard and the only way to relieve myself is hours of hard and rough sex with Ivy.
I can't quite put my finger on were this blood revelry came from but, I won't be stopping any time soon. Mainly due to this being the fastest way to thin the monster horde. Just look at their insane numbers!!
Their habitat was filled with billions of human-sized retiles. The place reminded me of termite or ant colonies. Radiation filled the area, liquifying all matter into irradiated sanguine lava, a side-effect of my blood revels. After drawing first blood, I came to realize something interesting. Despite their large numbers, these scale meat sacks are weak as hot dog shit. Even the largest of them is a weak ass lizy, shame. Still killing them should make fine sport...
By the time 14 hours had passed, less than 10% of the horde remained. (Its been a long time since I got to kill some many!!) Whereas, all the others were harvested for their resources in front of the survivors.
I evoked magoi to dismantle the mountains of corpses while floating in front of the remaining horde. My figure completely drenched in their fellows' blood, eyes glowing with an array of colors, and a sanguine diadem surrounding my head. To the monsters below, all they could see was a shadow with glowing eyes and a blood red halo cast behind his head.
Once finished with dismantling the mountains of corpses, I decided to leave the remaining monsters, but not without ensuring they would remain under my control with their current headcount. I evoked the rivers of blood from the corpses, causing all of it to float up creating a massive sphere of blood. Next, I slit my palm and allowed a considerable amount of blood to fly into the sphere. Once my blood entered, the sphere began to glow bright yellow with a deep red core.
I then evoked the blood sphere to inscribe onto the very chaos cores of the remaining monsters. The ritual I had performed was once devised by the demonic dragons to forcefully transform members of the races into monsters. I modified the spell under the direction of Uncle Yuriy since it was the same spell needed to purify the Elder Spirits of Light and Darkness. The ritual was called "Race Usurpation" and was downright brutal for both the caster and the recipient. (Albeit, more so for the recipient than the castor though.)
Naturally, they felt immense pain as if I was tearing at their souls; technically, I was doing exactly that. The blood entered each monster's body like flaming needles and inscribed a brand onto their cores tying their lives to my own. So long as I live, they will remain at no more than 1 billion souls. Still, I would allow at most an additional 500,000 for the next generation, but no more.
This is vastly different when compared to the hundreds of billions of monsters from before. As long as a single one of them lives, I will gain an additional buff to my abilities and complete control over the entire horde. Of course, the imposed contract was not entirely one-sided.
As I grew in natural strength, so would they. The chances of their monster race becoming a new member of the races was guaranteed with time. Or, I can expedite this transition artificially. As long as they have enough modification on my part, their race will be a new race of elves. While thinking this, I decided to begin the transformation of their monster race now, instead of waiting for that to happen naturally.
I started to toss in pure magoi crystals, Emerald oak sap copper, sapphires, orichalcum and blood essence from my spine's bone marrow. Next, I dumped in an assortment of other precious herbs and minerals to plentiful to name them all. Once finished, I began to evoke this magic while the blood needles were still inside of their bodies.
The needles would drain their existing blood and replace it with the blood from the modified blood essence sphere in the sky. I too had a needle connected to me which also replaced some of my blood with the modified blood essence, but not in the amount the monsters had been experiencing. I was simply a blood donor with the occasional amount of purified blood essence being returned to me.
As the ritual continued, the monster began to wail even more as their scales molted. Layers of skin appeared with similar complexion and toughness as that of dark elves. Their bones broke and reshaped themselves giving them true humanoid appearances. Their bestial maws and skulls also underwent transfiguration until they completely looked elven.
Their heads were adorn with long turquoise hair, moderately sized impala horns and sharply pointed ears. Even the large quadrupedal lizards experienced the same transformation and shrunk in size to match the others. After another 2 hours the wailing stopped, but the transfiguration continued.
Now their chaos cores were having the chaotic energy replaced with pure elemental magoi coming from my mana palaces and the ambient magoi around us. The chaotic energy was sent towards the giant blood essence sphere where my magoi and ambient magoi refined and tamed the energy, then returned it back to the monsters.
Their chaos cores after receiving the new energy first wreaked havoc on their bodies. Luckily, the giant blood sphere healed them instantly. Later, the cores began to adjust to the new energy. I could see them grow and contract many times like a pulsating heartbeat.
This pulsation continued for another hour until the cores condensed fully. Their final appearance was that of a decahedron-shaped magoi core. This new core was most definitely unlike my mana palaces, mage cores, and chaos cores. The transition was marvelous to witness. Still more was to come.
