Birthing Legends: My Womb Creates SSS Monsters-Chapter 97: S Rank Adventurers Party vs. Chimera Mother.

At the surface of the cave, Maddy smiled widely as she watched her children running around—ants crawling through the soil, the earth beneath her feet, the green of the forest, the fresh wind, and the warmth of the sunlight.

"I hope... I hope this scenery... never changes."

Then, the world shattered.

"GAH!!!"

The scream was ripped from her throat before she could process the sensation. It wasn’t just pain; it was a structural collapse. An intense cramping seized her lower abdomen, radiating outward like a shockwave of molten lead into her back and thighs. Her knees hit the soft earth—the earth she had just been praising—as her breath hitched in a throat constricted by agony.

Every heartbeat wasn’t a pulse... it was a hammer blow against her spine.

One horrifying realization pierced through the fog of torment. Her eyes went wide, reflecting a sudden terror as she clutched at her stomach.

"M-my... Mobile Womb..."

She shouted toward her children.

"EVERYONE! GO BACK TO OUR HOME! RIGHT NOW!"

Her children didn’t hesitate. Without asking questions, they all ran, following Maddy as she reverted to her worm form. With powerful, swift motions, she dug into the earth and surged through the soil, racing back toward their home with incredible speed.

In the Mobile Womb chamber, the S-rank adventurers were all out, unleashing their full strength to destroy the abomination before them. The cave itself trembled under the sheer force of their combined powers.

Erwin, the captain, roared as he unleashed his most devastating attack.

"ADVANCE LIGHT ELEMENT: DIVINE SMITE!!!"

A pillar of white flame engulfed his claymore, slicing into the Mobile Womb’s flesh. The inferno seared and ignited the pulsating sac, flames consuming it from within. His eyes burned with fury.

"We will not let another Demon Lord draw its first breath in this world! ATTACK!"

Beside him, Gela whispered incantations at lightning speed, channeling her light magic into the party’s weapons.

"ADVANCE LIGHT ELEMENT: MAGIC BUFF! ATTACK BUFF!"

Energy crackled over their blades, staffs, and musket, igniting their attacks with a light intensity that promised nothing less than total annihilation.

Lita, fueled by a mix of terror and wounded pride, lunged forward. Her staff crackled with electricity.

"HYAAAAAA! ADVANCE LIGHTNING ELEMENT: THUNDERCLAP EXPLOSION!"

Ed screamed, firing his musket point-blank into the writhing, pulsing tentacles.

"EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS!"

Zaun blurred in a flash, his daggers slicing through the fleshy cords with relentless speed.

"SLASH RAIN!"

The chamber erupted into a chaotic symphony of destruction. Every advanced spell, every refined technique, every ounce of mana was poured into the Mobile Womb. The creature was like shrieking as its tentacles seared and its sac hissed under the blades and elemental onslaught.

"DIE! DIE! DIE!"

"BEGONE FROM OUR WORLD!"

"BURN TO ASHES, DEMON LORD!"

"DAMN YOU!"

Their cries filled the chamber, echoing off the polished walls as they relentlessly assaulted Maddy’s unborn child. The Mobile Womb hissed, the nutrient fluid inside boiling violently. Erwin’s claymore was buried deep in the central mass, divine flames devouring the bio-matter.

To them, they were heroes. They were saving the world from a budding catastrophe. Yet the truth of the slaughter, the life within the sac, hung unspoken in the air, a shadow of moral weight beneath their righteous fury.

SWOOOSH!

The sound of a projectile tore through Erwin’s ears. In his peripheral vision, everything seemed to slow... and then he saw her.

Gela.

The cleric was lifted off her feet. Something had pierced her. Erwin followed the motion, heart pounding, as she was slammed against the far wall, breaking the very stone they had struggled to crack.

Her heart had been pierced by a shimmering, solid Divine Armament spear.

"G-Gela?"

Erwin stammered, his claymore lowering. Gela’s mouth opened, blood bubbling at her lips as she tried to speak her final words.

"C-Cap-tain..."

Before she could gasp, a barrage of Radiant Rain darts followed—

Shffft! Shffft! Shffft!

Striking with surgical precision. They pierced her hands, arms, and pinned her as though crucified. Then her legs, waist, stomach, chest... finally, her neck, mouth, eyes, forehead... her very brain.

Erwin could only watch in horror as she was stitched to the stone like a grotesque, macabre butterfly.

Her buffing light flickered, faltered, and died... vanishing from their weapons. And with it... so did her life.

A heavy silence descended over the chamber. Erwin’s mind couldn’t even begin to process what had just happened. His teammate—his friend, his party member—who had been buffing them mere seconds ago, was now gone, destroyed in a way so grotesque he couldn’t even imagine.

The silence shattered with a scream.

Lita’s voice cut through the air as she slammed onto the reinforced floor, her staff bouncing against the stone.

"WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT MONSTER ARE YOU!? WH-WHO ARE YOU!?"

Her words echoed through the chamber, trembling with terror, rage, and disbelief.

From the jagged breach in the wall stepped a nightmare. It was Maddy but the woman they had glimpsed in the fog was gone. The agony of her unborn child being slaughtered had ripped through her very being, driving her body into...

[System Warning]

[Cortisol levels reaching critical failure...]

[Response: Your biology is collapsing under the weight of your grief, Maddy. You are undergoing ... Catastrophic Metamorphosis.]

Her unborn child hurt, and a surge of anger flooded every fiber of her body. Her heart pounded, fists clenched, muscles coiled like springs, stomach knotted, face burning, breath coming in sharp, desperate gasps. Her mind focused entirely on protecting her child but her body, instinctively, braced to fight... no, to murder anyone who stood in her way.

"I... I do not care what I turn into now! I am raging... everything in me wants to KILL THEM!"

[New Monsterpedia Entry Added: Adventurer]

[Adventurer (Evolve Form) — Habitat: City/Urban]

[Adventurers are individuals who have awakened the Flame of Aspiration, a gift that originate from the Primordial Prometheus. This inner fire strengthens their will, allowing them to grow stronger through battle, exploration, and hardship. Adventurers often form parties to explore dungeons, hunt monsters, and uncover treasures. Unlike ordinary people, they possess the potential to continuously evolve their abilities, making them one of the most unpredictable forces in the world.]

For the first time, her true self revealed itself. The soft, smooth body of a princess shimmered and twisted, her flesh morphing into a horrifying mosaic of scales and skin—reptilian, amphibian, serpentine, invertebrate, and more, drawn from the creatures she had consumed.

Her arms became monstrous chimera-like claws: massive lizard talons, jagged spider limbs, even remnants of undead appendages. From her back, translucent insect wings unfurled, accompanied by tattered, spectral capes of lingering spirits.

Even her lower half was not spared—her legs and feet warped in the same nightmarish transformation, a living amalgam of every predator, parasite, and monster she had ever encountered.

The air around her seemed to warp and shiver as she took a step forward, a being of raw, primal fury, impossible to stop.
