I couldn't help but smile when I saw how well my conquest plan for Isolde with Elysia is going! The percentages are skyrocketing in just a few months!
And if we simply add Mirelia's herbalist sales, which are doing very well in the Célarion Kingdom, the percentage rises every day!
We're already at 69%, thanks to both plans!
As for Elysia, my feelings for her are growing stronger and stronger! She will be a magnificent slave concubine! If she truly loves Isolde, I will let her marry her for her good work.
After all, Isolde will become one of my future slave concubines once we reach 100%. The fact that they marry doesn't bother me.
I've spent almost all my time with Elysia. The only times I left were to discuss the next steps of the plan and, more importantly, the 500 fully evolved humans for Rosia's total transformation!
But since Isolde wasn't fully completed in the relationship—or rather, I waited until she reached a higher percentage—
Finally, after time and effort, she reaches 90%.
I think it's time to complete Rosia's transformation into a full-fledged Zerg sub-queen!
I went with my three slave concubines: Lysaria, Mirelia, and Selene.
As for Rosia, she also brought a few of her favorite slave concubines to witness her transformation.
"Criiiie? (Are you ready, Rosia?)"
"Yes, my queen!"
"Criiiie! (Good, let's begin!)"
By pure instinct, I started killing all 500 humans, slitting their throats with my side limbs or piercing through them.
Once done, Rosia instinctively moved to the center of the corpses, waiting for me. I approached and began to weave silk and flesh threads using the corpses, wrapping Rosia from all sides.
The threads started moving, forming a cocoon that seemed alive, consuming the corpses.
At the same time, I started removing some additions and copying others that I possess.
I copied the additions: Poison, Thoracic Legs, Humanoid, Quadrupedalism.
I removed: Sticky Silk Threads (taken from spiders).
Then, I added the genes Rosia and I had chosen—plenty of spider traits, but mainly Phidippus, Black Widow, and Gradungulidae.
Once done, I stepped back, climbing onto Selene.
We all watched the transformation, with the blood-red glow of metamorphosis illuminating the scene, while the silk and flesh threads continued to consume the human bodies.
It took a full day, but it worked. How do I know, even though Rosia hasn't emerged yet?
All the slave concubines can feel themselves growing stronger thanks to their parasites. Moreover, I can feel my bond with Rosia strengthening as the evolution nears completion.
Then, from the blood-red cocoon, a sharp point emerges, then another, and another, until six razor-sharp spikes tear through the cocoon.
The silk and flesh cocoon bursts apart, blood splattering everywhere, painting the underground chamber's walls red.
There, amidst the blood, wearing what seemed like a blood-drenched dress, Rosia lies on the ground, her body now a full Zerg spider.
She stands up, her body covered in blood-red fur resembling the dress I had imagined. Her eyes remain in place, but additional ones have appeared on her forehead, making a total of eight eyes! Her mouth appears normal when closed, but once opened, sharp fangs and retractable venomous mandibles become visible at the sides of her mouth.
From her back, three pairs of black spider legs emerge. Her body retains its humanoid shape, except for her legs, which now resemble those of a beast, with the tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges.
"System, show me Rosia's status panel!"
[Understood.]
[Name: Rosia Regium, Gender: Female, Race: Zerg Sub-Queen]
[Skills:]
[Hungry Evolutionary], [Regeneration – Small], [Bipedalism– Small],
[Parasite Illusion]: The queen's parasite and its descendants move through the host's body while remaining camouflaged. Uningested parasites will camouflage with surrounding objects to remain invisible.
[Ultimate Parasite]: You can cut a piece of your flesh to create multiple different parasites.
Love Parasite: By parasitizing individuals, you can fully subjugate them once the parasite's control reaches 100%.
Note 1: Once complete control is achieved, betrayal is impossible.
Note 2: At 50% control, the parasite allows vision through the host's eyes, hearing through their ears, and memory access. At 100%, all three are possible.
Crazy Parasite: A parasite that can only be activated once. Once activated, the host goes insane and rampages. After one month, both the host and parasite die.
Poison Parasite: A parasite that induces nausea, hallucinations, anxiety, or random muscle spasms upon infection.
[Powerful Jump – Small]: Increases jump height and speed by 5%.
[Clawed Paws – Small]: Your limbs become extremely sharp, with a 10% increase in penetration power.
[Quadrupedalism – Small]: When moving on all fours, your speed increases by 5%.
[Silk Threads – Small]: Produces extremely sticky silk threads.
[Sub-Queen's Nest]: By creating a nest, the sub-queen can lay a massive number of offspring in exchange for food. Once the nest is built, she can lay eggs every five days without being connected to it, in exchange for twice the usual food.
Note 1: Offspring inherit weaker versions of the sub-queen's traits or skills.
Note 2: Offspring can acquire 10% of traits or skills by consuming prey. This percentage decreases with each generation.
Not bad at all! With insect genes, the sub-queen becomes much more powerful than when she was only half! But that was expected.
"How do you feel, Rosia?"
"Magnificent, my queen! I feel incredibly powerful!"
"Perfect! From now on, when Lucian brings you men, you must lay plenty of eggs!"
"Our invasion of the lands near the Regium Aeternum Kingdom will begin with your children!"
"Don't hesitate to have lots of sex with your slave concubines to get aroused and produce stronger offspring!"
Upon hearing that, all the slave concubines turned bright red, yet their clenched fists showed their eager anticipation for the upcoming sex marathon!
One of the slave concubines spoke up.
"Congratulations, princess!"
The others quickly followed.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, princess!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations—!"
After everyone had spoken, I asked Rosia if she could revert to a more human form… and it worked! Her blood-red fur receded into her body, along with the spider legs on her back.
