Chapter 11 - The Mitochondria

"I see... Is she afraid of me that is interesting, although I'm envious of her she has fulfilled the ultimate goal in life that I desire to reach as well, it is something admirable to see someone make so many offsprings, it is such a beautiful and motivated sight indeed?"

I said to myself with great interest and envy in my heart, after all, I have one purpose, and that is to reproduce as much as I can, but I have yet to find a compatible mate, that can match me in terms of quality.

After all, there is no greater meaning to life than creating it yourself and letting it flourish, as someone aiming to become a father of an entire race, on a universal scale, the sight of seeing so many children was pleasing to the eye.

But despite the sudden one-sided massacre, I know it won't be this way forever, seeing that there was but one problem, of course, Khaos call out to me, seeing that she was the first to notice.

[The little bit of energy that, Shaakti manages to save up, has depleted once more, if you wish we can use the saved energy that was meant to time travel, although we might not be able to go back far into the past, the good news, however, is the fact we can one shot the Kyjuchillia]

Khaos said as she began to run the calculations of how far back we can time travel as a fail-safe to any situation too hard for us to handle that would require time travel as a last resort.

But the answer I gave Khaos was the opposite of what she expected, seeing her goal to deal with situations quickly her suggestion was usually taken into account.

And as a [A.I] like existence, this made her a little humble about the fact that not everything can be predicted with calculations.

"That won't be necessary, I am way faster, stronger, and more durable than her due to my unique phycology, as long as I avoid her gaze, I will be fine, however, I have a theory on how to deal with her already so there is no need to go that far, remember I am constantly evolving, but I also have complete control over every part of my body due to my genetic manipulation, this can also be said for all 267.2 trillion active cells in my body, but then and again the same could be said for all my Mitochondria as well, you are smart Khaos you should know where I am going with this."

Khaos wasn't dumb, if anything she is even smarter than Nyrthalan by a large margin, however, she did not take into consideration that Nyrthalan creativity would reach this level so quickly, originally she wanted her suggestion to be taken into consideration seeing it was way quicker.

Although there was a chance of failure as well.

But seeing that exist two types of power that Nyrthalan possesses, his suggestion to deal with this problem was way better indeed.

His powers consist of his cheat which was the Shubla-veins that he inherited from his mother, and his intrinsic skills, which were skills his body naturally possess, of course, Genetic manipulation is a natural trait of the Omnimorphius race, but they weren't adaptable to death.

Every Cell in the Nyrthalan body is immortal as they have long adapted to the death of their lifespan, he can thank his father for this unique trait, the cell itself for an Omnimorphius only has a short life span of forty-five to fifty-five days.

But Nyrthalan during his embryo phase had long transcended the norm, it was for that very reason Nyrthalan himself said that he would most likely be the last living thing in this universe.

Compare to the cells of other living creatures, his was immortal by default, due to his insane adaptability, that is what made him different from other Omnimorphiuses, yes they as a species can control every cell in their body to the molecular level, but Nyrthalan was different because his cells were passively adaptable.

But like all living organisms that exist, he felt a strong urge to have children and spread his Genes, for that very reason even Nyrthalan could not help but admire Queen Frostbite.

That was the emotion Khaos felt from her master, in body, mind, and heart Nyrthalan deepest desire is to populate this universe with more Omnimorphius.

Emotions were the hardest thing to calculate and vividly predict, so for now she would remain silent, her alternative to this situation was to blast everything to oblivion, then and again, if it was left up to her overall calculation, seeing there was a chance that it would have defeated the purpose of hunting the Kyjichillia in the first place.

Because hitting something with flames that rival the surfaces of this planet's sun would turn everything to ashes, and even the Queen would die, which in turn would not leave behind any genetic DNA to plunder.

So when Khaos heard and felt her master's intentions she was baffled and impress by his creative mind, after all, the mitochondria are considered to be the powerhouse of the cell, it is where evolution takes place, it can be found in both plants cells, and animal cells.

However, another amazing thing about the mitochondria is the fact that it produces heat, normal human mitochondria can produce a temperature of 50° Celsius, meanwhile, the mitochondria of an Omnimorphius can produce a heats signature that is way hotter, and unlike a human or any other organism from the third dimension, Nyrthalan initial species are all eight-dimensional, meaning their cells, genetic information, and mitochondria are far more vividly complex as it is incomprehensible to a lower life form.

So in conclusion what Khaos gather from all this information about what Nyrthalan was about to do was something similar to self-combustion, to confirm theory she voice out her thoughts, as she said.

[You're going to weaponize the mitochondria in your cells to counter her ice base abilities aren't you, it's smart seeing her weakness is fire]

"Yes in theory if I forceful increase the heat of all the mitochondria in my body, I can set and shoot large waves of fire burning everything in my path, of course, I am going to use my clone for this experiment, as there is a possibility that my body will burn to nothing due to the intensity of the heat."

I said with much seriousness, so with this said, I gaze at the Kyjuchillia who was hiding behind a large army of Abominables consisting of snowmen and grunts of all sizes.

My clones are an extension of me, of course, I split my consciousness into two, so I can control it from a distance, seeing it behave like a puppet.

In a way, I was kind of excited, if this experiment works the way I want it to, then I might be able to become stronger without putting myself in actual physical danger because if the cells adapt perfectly due to being burned alive, and it builds up a resistance to the intense heat while on death doors, all I need to do is to absorb the clones remains back into myself, and copy the acquired information into myself, giving myself said resistance as well.

Truly I am a genius for thinking of such an easy solution to my problems and concerns when challenging death.

So as time goes on, hundreds of thousands of Abominables were before me, sending waves of ice base attacks, however, at that very moment, I activate the mitochondria in Cassandra's body to their fullest extent, and this caused a vast amount of them to heat up rapidly at once.

It wasn't long before, Cassandra's body started to go up in a blaze, as her skin and flesh began to burn away, her hair dissipate, her blood evaporates, her organ boiled and her bones began to break down.

In a matter of mere seconds, I was looking at a flaming skeleton, but amazingly even the surrounding was affected by the sheer intensity of the heat in such a short time frame, as all the ice melted instantly, the glacier began to fall and evaporate.

The ground began to melt and the stone turn into molten lava, which of course caused hot steam to emerge due to the surrounding drastically melting and evaporating, at this point, I made myself intangible because the heat was melting the top floors as well, causing a great collapse to occur.

Rocks and Lava began to flood the room all at once, the sheer heat coming off Cassandra's body was enough to affect five floors of the Kyjchillia labyrinth, and after closer inspection, the flames were slowly turning into dazzling white.

Combustion had long occurred the moment it turns blue and now it was in the realm of white, at this point and time the heat of the flames was now 1800° Celsius and rapidly increasing at an immense rate.

Everything was burning, Frostbite herself was in a state of confusion and panic at the unfavorable situation she was now in.

"w-What hell is this... I-I-I. can't see anything, it's like I'm looking directly at the accursed ball of light in the morning sky, FUCCCK~~ do something about this you worthless children."

Yes, Frostbite at this point was left in a serious state of confusion and panic, her clairvoyance and sight were dependent on the eyes of her children, and seeing how Nyrthalan's body was emitting a dazzling white light due to the flames, hot temperature that was increasing more and more.

At this point, Frostbite's blindfold burned away revealing her eyes, which had full blue sclera, and red cat eye at the center.

She became vividly aware of this, and as a result of the situation she knew she was left with no choice.

"Tskk, damit I see I have no other choice but to use my eyes."

"I'm not going to die here, I refuse to die here!"

Those words were what keep her motivated, so without hesitation, she opened her eyes, and attempted to look directly at Nyrthalan despite the brightness making it hard to see.

And upon looking in front of her she automatically turn the vast majority of her children into ice even the air wasn't spared, but regardless of that, Nyrthalan flames weren't having any of it either, because as fast as the surrounding began to transmute, the ice was instantly melting, causing a stalemate of two unstable force to clash with each other.

But Frostbite would soon receive the shorter end of the stick because the flames reach a level where she couldn't take the heat anymore as the moisture in her eyes quickly evaporate causing her to close them in pain.

"NYwAhhHHH!!"

Leaving her defenseless, meanwhile, Nyrthalan looked at Cassandra in amazement, the reason being, that her flesh and organ were rapidly regenerating, and the best part was they weren't burning anymore, this meant thanks to adaptive immortality Cassandra now possess a body that can handle the immense temperature of increasing the heat of her mitochondria.

"It's a success, I won't lie, this does bring a smile to my face, well then let's end this, and hurry to the closest compatible mate I can find."

With that said I took control of Cassandra's body and focus on all the flames in a single point of my palms creating a massive ten-meter white fireball, and with everything I had I shot the fireball toward the Queen.

The projectile flew with immense speed and power, the recoil was so strong it even blew Cassandra off her feet, which made the fireball change trajectory, however, it was an [AOE] attack so it didn't matter who or what it hit, it would still get the job done regardless.

And just like I predicted, it hit one of the Snowman although not close to the queen, but like previously said, it didn't matter, because moments after it exploded in its face, and the result was beyond satisfactory, to say the least.

From where I float, I bore witness to a giant explosion, as I can see hot white flames swallowing the entire army of snowmen and grunts in an unforgiving manner, eventually swallowing me and Cassandra into the midst of our attack, everything was blown away, as the explosion moves upward, burning the upper floors, spreading more and more, there was no way the Queen could react to the potency of such natural destructive force.

The earth beneath began to shake violently, as the tremors of the battle could be felt even above, this entire labyrinth was coming apart, collapsing slowly on itself, the damage was already down after all.

Even if some of the Abominable manage to survive today's encounter, it wouldn't abolish the fact that I send an entire race to the brink of extinction in less than a night of my birth and descent upon this world.

However moments later the effect of my attack died down, leaving nothing but rubble, and the bodies of my enemies, buried beneath them.

"Wonderful, now then let's start with you, Cassandra."

I said to myself as I absorb her back into my body, and after doing that, I gain a high level of immunity to the effects of fire.

"Marvelous this is a groundbreaking discovery for me, now then, onwards to the main course."

From there, I began to search for Frostbite, and after a couple of minutes, I found her body, well what was left of it that is, since her lower half, was crushed beneath tones of giant rubble, both her arms were blown off, while her entire body was horrendously burn.

It was amazing how despite that intense explosion that kill the rest of her children, her regeneration was still somehow active as she was slowly healing, however, her eyes seem to have melted out of her socket, and a lot of her organs and bones seem badly damaged as well.

But what was even odder was the fact that she somehow managed to protect her unborn children, like how persistent can a mother's love be.

Of course, I rip her in half, leaving half of her behind, as I look at her with saliva dripping out of my mouth, but by some miracle, she began to respond to my actions as she weakly said.

"AughWww... Dont... Want to die... M-m...mercy."
