Birthing Legends: My Womb Creates SSS Monsters-Chapter 66: AN ALPHA UGLY CANNIBAL WORM!? — Part 2.
[System Notice]
[Congratulations! You acquired a skill: Absolute Light Manipulation: Divine Armament – Execution]
[Absolute Light Manipulation: Divine Armament – Execution: Manifest and cycle multiple radiant weapons in rapid succession, overwhelming a target with a relentless barrage of divine constructs. The user can summon any armament forged from condensed light—axes, spears, swords, bows, or other weapons—striking continuously before delivering a final purifying execution strike. The skill’s destructive power scales with the amount of light condensed and the speed at which the weapons are manifested.]
Meanwhile, the Mineral Maw roared from the ceiling, its emerald encrusted throat pulsing. It prepared to launch a tide of obsidian spikes meant to bury everything in the room. It lunged downward, a mountain of diamond hard flesh accelerating toward Arach.
Arach didn’t move he stood with his arms crossed, his six eyes tracking the beast with a chilling calmness.
"The moment you crawled out of the dirt... You’re already dead."
The Wyrm Worm’s head suddenly hit an invisible barrier. Its massive, mineralized skull didn’t just stop; it split. Clean, geometric lines appeared across its snout, then its neck, then its entire torso. A web of super thin Spider Silk had been woven across the tunnel in a lethal, geometric pattern.
Arach snapped his fingers, and the silk suddenly glowed a deep, murderous crimson.
"DΣMӨПIᄃ BᄂӨӨD ΛЯƬ: Wound Web!"
The silk, infused with the true damage properties of the Demonic Ogre’s blood, tightened instantly. The massive Alpha was sliced into perfect, bleeding cubes before it could even let out a final breath. The segments fell to the floor with a series of heavy, wet thuds.
"You should have stayed under it, worm."
[System Notice]
[Multiple dead bodies detected...]
Maddy’s eyes swept over the mountains of worm corpses, thousands stacked like a grotesque harvest. Each bore the hellmouth icon, a silent invitation to be devoured.
"Arach, Sephiran... watch."
She extended her hands, her aura flaring as she invoked her skill.
"INGEST!"
The shadows of the corpses twisted and swirled, forming a churning abyss of red and black. From its center, a gargantuan, demonic maw split open, its jagged teeth like stalactites ready to crush anything.
With a single, terrifying chomp, every worm corpse including the massive, cubed fragments of the Wyrm Worm was sucked into the void.
The sound was horrifyingly satisfying, a grotesque symphony of crunches and slurps, like the most extreme ASMR mukbang:
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!
The cavern fell silent, save for the fading echo of devoured flesh, as Maddy’s power left the ground spotless.
Sephiran, peeking from his crib, gasped.
"Mother... she ate... the whole room..."
Arach stared, his four arms trembling slightly in awe.
"That is the power of the Progenitor. She... she could devour an entire population... Mother, you are... truly... AMAZING!"
[System Notice]
[You have ingested multiple objects containing a traits.]
[Storing already applied and existing traits...]
[Wyrm Worm]
[Trait Acquired: Devourer Instinct]
[Possesses an overwhelming predatory drive toward worm type species. Damage dealt to worm class creatures is significantly increased. Assimilation efficiency is greatly enhanced when consuming related species.]
[Trait Acquired: Multi Maw Manifestation]
[Additional maws may form along the body, each reflecting a consumed worm species. Each maw retains traits associated with that species’ feeding capabilities. Number of maws scales with unique worm species devoured.]
[Trait Acquired: Monstrous Body Expansion]
[Body mass can temporarily swell after feeding, increasing strength, durability, and constriction force. Excess biomass may later be stabilized or redistributed.]
[Trait Acquired: Cannibalistic Upgrade] 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
[Upon consuming multiple worm type species, compatible traits may undergo upgrades into superior variants, allowing abilities to transform into enhanced forms.]
[Trait Acquired: Wyrm Worm Body Parts]
[You may now manifest any portion of the Wyrm Worm’s anatomy—arms, legs, or the entire physical form with perfect precision. These examples are not limiting; any part can be used.]
[Apply these traits to yourself, or store them?]
Maddy scowled, gripping the interface as she read through the newly acquired traits from the Alpha Cannibal Wyrm. Her stomach churned.
"A disgusting trait for a disgusting monster!"
But one line made her pause her eyes widened in intrigue.
"Cannibalistic Upgrade...? Compatible traits may undergo upgrades into superior variants, allowing abilities to transform into enhanced forms."
She stared at the words, mind racing.
"W-what!? This... this is actually good. Finally, I can refine all those countless traits I got from the worm species... it’s like I swallowed a thousand of them! And if it’s compatible, maybe it can become an upgraded trait... Woah!"
Her thoughts churned rapidly.
"Could I... upgrade this one too? So it’s not just limited to worms?"
Her decision was swift.
"Lucy, APPLY the Cannibalistic Upgrade. And store the rest. I don’t need maws sprouting all over me, or a bloodlust for my own kind. YIKES! STORE THEM!"
[Response: By your command... applying all ingested traits directly to your body except your requests...]
Initializing...
Poof!
[Done.]
As soon as Lucy finished applying the new trait to Maddy’s body, a strange, stabbing sensation surged through her chest like her heart had skipped and then sprinted all at once.
"Ghk—! Wh-what is that?"
[System Notice]
[Cannibalistic Upgrade Activated.]
[Integrating ’Cannibalistic Upgrade’ with Existing Worm Species in Trait Storage...]
[Purging Redundancies... Compressing Biomass... Upgrading...]
Her chest heaved violently as the Cannibalistic Upgrade took root in her DNA. For a moment, her vision dissolved into a blur, replaced by a rapid fire cascade of system windows that scrolled past her eyes like a digital landslide, overwhelming her senses.
[500 instances of the same trait have been merged and upgraded.]
[Starting from the Man Eater Worm traits...]
[500× Tremor Sense → Upgraded to...]
[New Trait Acquired: Seismic Dominion]
[Seismic Dominion: Detects vibrations through any landform across an immensely expanded radius. Can differentiate size, weight, and movement patterns of detected targets. While burrowed, grants near-complete battlefield awareness underground.]
Maddy’s eyes widened as the implications hit her. What once seemed like a disgusting, mundane trait from the Wyrm Worm now transformed into something monumental.
"W-What... WH-WH-WHAT?! Five hundred Tremor Sense... upgraded into WHAT?!"
She sank into a deep breath, letting the weight of it all settle.
"What... what have I gotten into? This cannibalistic upgrade is changing the game. I never imagined I’d see my traits merge and evolve like this... It’s beyond anything I’ve ever dreamed of."
She paused, letting the weight of it sink in.
"Five hundred traits... combined into a single, upgraded form. And it’s not just stronger—the very function of the trait has been elevated to a whole new level!"
