Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 108: Do you want power?
A bit over a month ago, on the very day, Mest was left for dead outside the safe zone...
{Those bastards! What happened to their speeches if saying that we’re forever comrades who will always stand together. So what if I made a mistake, wouldn’t real comrades try to stand up for me? Even if they couldn’t, they could have at least helped me address my wounds} Mest thought to himself angrily as he felt his life slowly drain from his body.
Despite having been left a distance away from the safe zone, no beasts came to put him out of his misery. It was as if they were mocking him. Like he wasn’t good enough for them to make the littlest bit of effort of just sniffing him out and killing him. After all, he was bloodied all over. On top of the thoughts about the supposed betrayal by Tom and the others. These thoughts also haunted him, making him feel even worse about himself.
{It’s all his fault! Everything that happened to me. Before he came, everything was okay. Just because I said a few things he didn’t like he did this to me. He didn’t even have the decency to finish me off. I wish I had the strength to kill him. I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! Hate HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HAAAAATE!} Mest thought to himself while quickly losing his mind. The anger and hatred he had toward Muku got more and more intense each second that passed by.
***Do you want power?***
A familiar, super sketchy line known by many was heard by Mest.
{!!!?}
All of Mest’s thoughts halted when a deep manly voice that demanded respect sounded in his head. Just that one sentence from whatever was being said was enough to drag back the mind he was about to lose to its initial state.
{W-what was that!?} Mest thought to himself in a fearful tone. Even if he was already dying, humans will always have an innate fear of the unknown after all. He would have screamed out loud asking who had spoken if he could still speak. Sadly, Muku’s attack not only made him immobile, but he also couldn’t speak.
***Not what, it’s whom. Listen up, mortal, I, The Supreme Monarch Ares, will ask this only one more time. Do you want power? I can grant you enough power to make you strong enough to be at the top of your weak race. All you have to do is swear your loyalty to me and offer sacrifices. You don’t have to speak, just think and I will hear it. Decide quickly mortal, for you don’t have much time left***
{I accept! Please Supreme Monarch Ares, please grant me power so that I can crush all my enemies. Power so that I can get my revenge} Like the corrupted person he was, Mest didn’t even think twice before accepting.
Then again he had nothing to lose since he was about to die anyway. Although he thought that there was a chance someone was playing a prank on him, he didn’t care. And the fact that the being could read his thoughts gave him some confidence that it wasn’t some kind of sick joke on a dying man.
***Good, I am very pleased mortal. I like decisive individuals the most*** The voice sounded in Mest’s head again.
It was only after calming down that he realised that the being had been talking inside his mind from the start. Such a mystic ability. It made him even more certain he made the right decision.
{I am at your service, My Lord} Mest spoke in his mind, showing his submissiveness and willingness to serve.
***Good, good, I like you more and more mortal. Now, prepare to receive some of my power...***
As soon as the voice trailed off, Mest’s body, which was already in pain, was attacked by an even stronger level of pain. If the pain from before was elementary level, the pain now was at least advanced, skipping intermediate altogether. On top of it, not only was his body in pain but his soul was also attacked by the pain. It all was caused by the weird red mist that had come out of nowhere and completely enveloped him.
Although the pain in his body was insane, he felt that he could somewhat take it. It was the pain coming from his soul that was the problem. For a second, he felt like he could clearly perceive his soul. And on it, which looked like an ethereal blackish orb, a red carving of an ape’s head was slowly being etched. Also, for some reason, he felt like his soul wasn’t originally supposed to be blackish in colour...but that’s a story for another day.
{Ahhhhh!, this is too much! Make it stop! I can’t take it anymore!!} Mest screamed in his mind.
***Hold on a little longer, mortal; it’s almost done. You’re only feeling so much pain because of your own weakness. Just think of your enemies and the ones who betrayed you, how you will make them all suffer***
The voice sounded in Mest’s head again, and from its words, it seemed to know everything about him. Then again, since it could easily excess his memories and look into all of them, it made sense that it would know everything about him. Of course, Mest didn’t know all this.
Amazingly...or not, Mest’s anger and hatred for Muku and Tom’s group was intense enough for him to survive the ordeal.
[Outside power detected...]
[Outside power trying to influence the individual’s class...]
[Individual’s self-defence protocol toward outside influences is too weak to defend...]
[Outside power is reshaping individual’s body and class...]
[Individual’s class successfully changed...]
[Rare Class: Ape King Berserker (slave) generated successfully]
Prompt after prompt sounded in Mest’s head. As soon as he heard the last prompt, he heard that it was a rare class. Excitement hit him. After all, he had a weak class before, which was just one level above random classes. Then the adrenaline that was keeping him awake ended. He then immediately fainted.
***Hehe, the experiment worked. Although this mortal is too weak and lacking potential. I’ll keep him for now***
The majestic voice sounded again in Mest’s chaotic mind, but his consciousness had already faded to black so he didn’t hear it. Though even if he did, there was nothing he could do about it. He was already within the being known as Ares’ grasp now.
Outside Mest’s mind, his body, which had previously been bruised and battered all over with most of its bones broken, was now completely different. It had gone from its initial 5.9ft to 7ft tall. His previously lanky build was completely replaced by a super muscular one instead. His muscles pressed against his clothes so much they looked like they would tear the second he made even the slightest of movements. Other than his face, he hadn’t changed too much; he seemed like a completely different person.
The red mist had already mostly dissipated as if it was never there, leaving the unconscious Mest lying there completely unguarded. However, if any beast went to the area at the moment and sensed the remnant energy from the mist. It would flee without turning back, whether it be an unranked beast, Rank One, or even a Rank Ten. That’s just how monstrous the owner of the aura was.
Mest didn’t know it, but he had luckily managed to cling onto the thigh of one of the supreme rulers of beasts. He was definitely on his way to the top...if he can survive Muku that is...
.....
It was only two days later that Mest managed to wake up. The moment he woke up, he was hit by a wave of hunger so strong he wanted to tear his own stomach out of his body.
By some coincidence, two MR1 lizards happened to pass by. Seeing them, he was overwhelmed by fear. His strength from before didn’t even allow him to fight a LR1 lizard alone, let alone two MR1s. Surprisingly, unlike his mind, his body wasn’t afraid, it was charging toward the lizards before he knew what was happening. By the time he reached the lizards, his body, which felt foreign, felt even more foreign when it turned into a huge four-metre-tall large ape.
The ape then tore the two lizards into many pieces and started consuming them. It was only after the body had feasted and gotten completely full that Mest regained back his control.
He looked at his naked body covered by blood from the lizards and felt the little meat chunks in his mouth. Mest didn’t feel disgusted. Instead, he smiled before starting to laugh maniacally. So what if he had turned into a monster no other human would accept if they had witnessed what he had done. He had finally gotten the power he wanted. He could now get his revenge!. That’s all that mattered!
His nakedness was caused by his clothes getting completely torn off when he turned into an ape. Who cared about public indecency in the apocalypse anyway? However, he couldn’t help but wonder why his trousers didn’t stubbornly remain on his person like the Hulk... Well, whatever, he could always look for something else to wear.
Mest then spent the next few days learning how to use his abilities. Then he set out looking for Muku to get his revenge. Which he was unsuccessful in. So he started roaming around doing whatever he wanted; before he knew it, he already had a few subordinates around him. And they were just as corrupt as himself, which he liked a lot.
Then, after a while, evolution came, and almost everything was destroyed. That’s when he thought it was time to go get his revenge on Tom’s group of weaklings. He hadn’t gone sooner since he felt like they wouldn’t be fun to kill due to their weak strength. And he was right, he took his men and easily got his revenge without even breaking a sweat. Tom’s team of weak classes wasn’t a challenge for him.

Ares had already taught him how to carry out sacrifices. Which he did with Tom’s group. However, a few, like Adam from that group, managed to flee. He then took over the safe zone, leading to a great change where most of the people fled or got killed by him. In his point of view, it has been a good life for quite a while...
That is until this bastard who he was looking at floating in front of him in a Godzilla-inspired armour came back. His eyes immediately reddened in anger, he was ready to go all out and end it...
