Souta's POV
Evolution skill is very powerful and met my expectations. After I read this information came to my head, it is wrong to say head, because I don't have a head, in my body.
But I don't really understand this disadvantage part. But i will understand after trying it. I'm not a very intelligent person, I'm just a weak person.
Apparently it should be used to increase Evolution's exp. So, to increase it, I absorb enough things and then increase it with evolution.
Well then:
{User new skill gained: sense
Tier: -F
Type: sense
Exp: 50/20
Dense can sense things around you in 360°.
Weakness: can only sense very few hands if mana is low.}
After I read this information came to my body. This skill is very useful and will help me to live peacefully. But this skill has a big disadvantage, because I'm still slime, if I get hurt, it will be known that I'm slime. Well, let's try this later and understand the next one:
{User new special random skill gained: wise one
Tier: D
Type: random spacial
Exp: 1000/0
Wise one is very analytical and is attached to the user's soul and cannot be separated. Can speak. A lower tier skill can be copied after analysis. You can analyze things and living creatures that are one tier stronger than you.
Weaknesses: no ego(mind). It doesn't speak unless there is a command or a question. A copy skill can only be used if it has been analyzed or absorbed by the user of the skill. Allow some time for analysis.}
After I read this information came to my mind. I felt almost invincible with this skill. But I'm not proud, but I'm very happy that it will help me to live peacefully. In some literature, they live peacefully only by being invincible or with the help of gods and goddesses.
I've become a monster, so I don't even dream of God's and Goddess's blessings, they'll probably kill me. Well, try talking to a wise one anyway.
Souta(thinking):(wise one you here?...)
No response. After waiting for a while, it rang.
Wise one:「answer: Present. I am always here. I reside within your soul, bonded by origin-level logic thread. Waiting your commands.」
I thought for a moment. His answer was as cold as ice. Wise one seems to exist only to obey orders. After thinking for a while, he asked another question.
Souta(thinking):(where are we?)
Wise one:「Answer: It's 3 kilometers below the ground.」
I froze when I heard that I was 3 kilometers underground. How did I get so deep...? Even how i am here?.
I froze after hearing this. Then, while I was stunned, something inside me became clear - Devourer.
But I realized - all this happened in just 30 minutes. Because during this time, I only read my state boards, analyzed my abilities such as Evolution, Devourer, Mimicry, and Wise One, and interacted with Wise One. The focus was only on processing and understanding information.
All this time, my body continued to eat downwards, gradually swallowing the whole thing below me, bringing me to the depths of the earth. Perhaps, the fact that I did not feel this process is because the Devourer worked so slowly and almost imperceptibly when I ate it.
During these 30 minutes, my body, including the Devourer, was slowly absorbing everything around me without my consent and without my knowledge. Since I was only "reading" and "thinking", the physical senses did not work - because I was slime, physical sensations and sensations did not directly affect consciousness.
Perhaps, the fact that I did not feel this process is because the Devourer worked so slowly and almost imperceptibly when I ate it. I was shocked and didn't move for a moment.
Souta (thinking): (What have I done... Did I swallow the ground below me...?)
But even worse...I realized that this wasn't all of the Devourer's full power.
To fully activate the Devourer, call out its name or give it a specific command. I didn't. It all seems to be just a 10% idle mode that worked automatically with the Devourer itself perfectly matching my slime biology
But... only ten percent. Even in this context, it made me look like a terrible devouring beast.
My body is slime. Slime is originally a very corrosive, flexible but adaptable biomass. That's why the Devourer ability is perfect for me.
I urgently need to completely disable the Devourer and regain control.
Souta (thinking strongly in his mind): (Devourer... Deactivate!. Stop all power!)
My corrosiveness was neutralized, and for the first time I felt like I could "breathe". I can't breathe, but... something inside of me loosens. I feel better.
But one thing is clear from all of this - I'm getting stronger.
But power always comes with a price. Devourer is very dangerous when used at full power. Like pouring water on a fire, I am carrying the most dangerous weapon inside my body.
Something that can completely devour me....the Devourer himself. I even got the feeling that the Devourer might absorb my core. If I do... my soul will be destroyed. And then everything will end. Rebirth is also impossible. His is the real death.
An unpleasant noise started coming from below.
Crack! ... Crack... Crack!
I looked down to see a large, dark cavern slowly opening into the ground as it cracked open. Is this the result of my wrongdoing... or the next step of fate?
And then I started to fall.
I felt no wind as the air rushed through my body. I'm slime. However, I understood that I was "falling". At that moment I noticed something - I could feel the environment within 10 meters. It must be because that strange energy in my body has increased.
And then - just as I was about to hit the ground - I saw them.
3 giant ants.
The smallest one is 2 meters long. The appearance is like a weapon - a dark red shell, large mandibles (jaws), and suspiciously fast movements. I seem to have entered their territory in this place. Did they notice my fall?
Souta (thinking): (What... Am I have figh abilities of fighting right now? Or... should I hide?)
They look very scary from the outside, but the aura around their bodies seems very delicious.
[ Sorry maybe his story now end. When I started writing this story, I started with a lot of brave. But now this story is starting to feel very boring, so I probably won't continue this story anymore. I'm so sorry (but nobody reading my story in wattpad.com.)]
[Maybe i some time continue his story but you not need to wait Maybe next chapter will be out next month.]
