Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 413 The Evil God's Larva Evolves Successfully
Broly carried the two goddesses on his shoulders and hooked the female doctor on his feet, flying towards the old port area.

You can see Scorpio from a distance.

At this moment, Scorpio's red eyeballs looked dull and lifeless.

When you get closer, the mountain-like body still exudes a dying smell.

The skin that had been smoothed by Aqua's purification technique in the morning now looked dry.

"What happened to Scorpio?"

Broly looked at Sumire Muroto, who began to touch Scorpio's skin with her hands after landing, and asked about Scorpio's condition.

When he rushed over just now, he had already called out to Scorpio, but unfortunately, Scorpio didn't respond at all to his call.

"Many protostomes will shed their skin or cocoon when they evolve. If you let Scorpio evolve, then it may be in the process of shedding its skin or cocooning. What you see in front of you should be the skin it is about to shed. Of course, it may also be a cocoon..."

Muroto Sumire explained that this was a directional speculation. If she didn't know that Broly was trying to evolve Scorpio, she probably wouldn't be able to quickly draw a conclusion about the current situation.

"So, this is a normal phenomenon, but why do I feel that Scorpio's energy is still decreasing?"

Broly was still a little worried.

"Whether it's molting or cocooning, for protostomes, both consume a lot of body energy. If the qi you feel can reflect the biological energy in the body, then a decrease is normal."

Muroto Sumire hammered the skin of Scorpio with her hand and found that the originally tough skin of this big guy was now like dried brittle fish, and cracks could be easily hammered out.

Judging from this situation, the possibility of molting is greater than that of cocooning. The protogastric animals that form cocoons usually make their cocoons very hard, the kind that even bullets cannot penetrate.

"Is that what it looks like?"

Broly didn't understand these, but when he saw Muroto Sumire's confident look, he felt somewhat relieved.

"Isn't this dangerous?"

Eris stood nearby, looking at Scorpius's huge body, and interrupted to ask a question.

"Generally speaking, there is no danger, but it is possible that some protogastric animals may fail to transform due to insufficient biological energy accumulated in their bodies."

"Hey, isn't this dangerous?"

"For a Scorpio to be this large and able to maintain such a large size and move on land, it is impossible for it to have less biological energy in its body."

"But Scorpio's energy has almost dropped to the same level as that of ordinary people."

Broly said.

Hearing this, Muroto Sumire was stunned for a moment, then her face changed drastically: "Not good, Scorpio may not have enough accumulated biological energy."

"what?"

“How could such a large body have biological energy similar to that of ordinary humans? The only explanation is that the energy was consumed during the evolution process.

There has always been a saying among scholars who study protogasters that those dormant zodiac-level protogasters are actually accumulating energy for the next stage of evolution. However, this statement is too outrageous, so no one has ever believed it to be true.

I didn’t expect it to be true. The next stage of evolution in Stage Five really requires a huge amount of biological energy!”

"Now is not the time to talk about this. What can we do to help Scorpio now?"

"We tried to give it energy, inject glucose or feed it nutrient solution, but the Scorpio is so big that we don't know where its mouth and main body are now."

Muroto Sumire was a little troubled, but then she thought of the effect of Aqua's healing technique, which was to restore the target's body to its best condition.

"By the way, you can ask Lady Aqua to use healing magic on Scorpio."

Hearing this, Broly looked towards his goddess master.

"No problem, just leave it to me."

Aqua didn't waste any time. She took out her staff and pointed it at Scorpio in front of her, starting to release her healing magic.

"If it is possible, Lord Eris, please also bless Scorpio with good luck."

Muroto Sumire said again.

"Hey, me?"

Eris pointed to her nose.

"Yes, I don't know what the evolution of Scorpio will be like. Maybe there are some dangers. If your lucky blessing can really bring good luck, blessing it will also give it a little more protection."

"Ok."

Eris nodded as well, pointed her hands forward at Scorpio, and began to cast her own lucky blessing.

Two goddesses are casting spells.

Scorpio, who was originally breathing weakly, was pulled up all of a sudden.

The dry body gradually became moisturized, and the dull red eyes regained their brightness.

"Hoo~

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought Scorpio had recovered.

The next moment, her breath dropped even faster.

"Click~"

The huge body was like porcelain, making some noises and showing some fine cracks.

"Ah, Broly, I can't seem to restore the vitality she's losing!"

It was the first time that Aqua felt the life slipping away quickly in her hands. Even if she used all her strength to release the healing technique, she couldn't stop it. She suddenly became a little panicked.

"Touch of absorption, reverse injection of life energy."

Broly quickly stepped forward, transforming his chi into life energy and injecting it into Scorpio's giant body.

The huge amount of life energy added in stopped Scorpio's loss of energy and pushed it back to its original energy level.

However, neither Broly nor Aqua, nor Eris who was just casting a blessing of luck, dared to easily stop the magic in their hands that was transformed from divine power (qi).

Muroto Sumire was watching the three people with magical lights on their hands that looked like special effects, and suddenly she felt like she was in the operating room performing surgery against the clock to save seriously injured patients.

This continuous output of life energy, healing energy, and lucky energy lasted for about twenty minutes before Scorpio's anger gradually calmed down.

"Phew, I'm exhausted~"

Aqua slumped down. Although she still had enough divine power, her physical strength was a little poor. Holding the staff and maintaining the same posture for twenty minutes was indeed a new form of torture for this goddess who lacked exercise.

"Now, should everything be alright?"

Eris also exhaled. She was really tired. Her divine power was not more than Aqua's.

"The gas is gone, but I don't know how."

Broly shook his head.

"Click, click..."

At this moment, a gust of sea breeze blew, and Scorpio's body made such a sound.

"Clap~"

The next moment, as if some supporting part was broken, Scorpio's huge body broke in the middle and collapsed.

Broly was quick-witted and took the three people away from where they were and flew into the sky. There was a loud bang, and a large area of ​​the warehouse in the old port area below collapsed.

"Evolution failed. Did Scorpio die?"

Muroto Sumire looked at the fallen Scorpio with regret in her eyes.

"No, Scorpio is still alive."

Broly was very sure of this. Whether it was the presence of Scorpio or the rising happiness value of the other party on the Crystal Palace panel, they all proved this.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Broly and the other three landed again and began to dig through the wreckage.

Soon, Broly found an egg-like thing that was half a person's height and had the aura of Scorpio.

"Eh, it's actually an egg-shaped evolution?"

Muroto Sumire was a little surprised. This kind of evolution was relatively rare and usually only appeared in unique insects or bird protogastric animals.

"I can feel my divine power in this. Could it be that Scorpio is taking this opportunity to eat our divine magic power?"

Aqua came over angrily, raised her hand and slapped the testicles in front of her that were emitting a faint blue glow, and then everyone heard a cracking sound.

"Ah, I didn't use any strength..."

Aqua was startled.

"It's not my fault, it's just that this thing is too fragile!"

Looking at the gash on her testicles caused by herself, the goddess was a little flustered and tried to pass the blame.

The next moment, a figure appeared at a swift speed and squeezed the gap open even wider.

After squeezing out from the testicles, it rushed directly towards Aqua.

Before Aqua could react, she was tackled by the other party.

"What is this?" Aqua struggled, but her hands and feet were entangled by the wriggling soft substance.

The sticky feeling gave her a rather bad experience.

"It seems to be a little octopus loli!"

Eris looked at the creature that knocked Aqua down and subconsciously answered Aqua's question.

"What?"

Aqua looked up and met a small face with delicate features. The other person's black eyes with red pupils emitted a strange light, and his head was aqua blue hair.

But rather than calling them hair, it would be more accurate to say that they were tentacles disguised as hair, because the ends of the hair were wriggling and crawling up Aqua's face, like small tentacles of an octopus, testing the shape of Aqua's face.

"what!"

Aqua screamed and rolled to the side subconsciously, but the little octopus loli wrapped around her also rolled with her.

After calming down and sitting up, Aqua discovered that it was indeed a non-human creature that was entangled with her body.

“Is this a Scorpio?”

Aqua asked Broly.

"Ah."

Broly nodded.

Unlike the Cursed Child, who had perfect gastrula transformation and only grew some alienated organs or limbs, Scorpio's lower body was completely a large octopus tentacle.

However, her upper body was indeed that of a human, with smooth and translucent skin, a small teardrop-shaped belly button on her abdomen, and two small pearls on it that were as pink as a newborn baby's.

"Can you ask her to stop pestering me?"

Aqua was entangled tightly, and the little guy that hatched from Scorpio's body was wrapped around her.

The little guy seemed very curious about her. The tentacles that looked like hair were crawling all over Aqua's upper body, and some of them even got into her evening dress.

"Hey, that's not allowed, Broly, stop her."

Broly hurried forward, reached out and pushed aside the flesh triggering thread that the little guy was squirming in his master's evening dress, preparing to attack the high ground on his chest.

"Scorpio, please get off Master Aqua."

When the little girl looked over curiously, Broly put his hand in front of her and tried to persuade the little octopus loli.

"Dad~"

Scorpio looked at him, his curious eyes changed from confusion to surprise, and a crisp sound came out of his mouth, and he left Aqua's body directly, but just changed his target to entangle.

"What's going on?"

Scorpio's way of addressing Broly confused the people around him, and Aqua asked Muroto Sumire.

"He can speak and has language ability. Is this the memory of his human days being restored?"

Muroto Sumire thought about it, then walked over, squatted down, and asked Scorpio who was entangled with Broly: "Little guy, can you understand what I say?"

Scorpio glanced at the female doctor and didn't pay much attention to her. He just carefully explored Broly's body with his tentacles, just like he did with Aqua just now. This is a typical octopus habit.

"Okay, then, who is he?"

Seeing that the little guy ignored her, Muroto Sumire changed her way of talking.

"Dad~"

And the effect worked, the little guy answered without hesitation.

"Do you know what Dad means?"

Muroto Sumire asked again, but the little guy ignored her again.

"Okay, who is this then?"

Muroto Sumire pointed at Aqua and asked.

"Mom~"

The little guy answered again without hesitation.

"Eh?"

Aqua was originally complaining about her body being made sticky by Scorpio, but when she suddenly heard this name and saw the little creature wrapped around Broly, looking at her with innocent eyes, her heart seemed to be shot by something.

"Ah, no, this, hey, this kid actually calls me mom?!"

It only took Aqua one sentence to go from confusion to shock, and from shock to accepting this title as if it was not bad.

Suddenly, she felt that the stickiness on her body was not so unacceptable to God.

"What about this one?"

Muroto Sumire pointed at Eris and asked again.

"It's also mom."

The little octopus girl still didn't hesitate at all.

And if she said more, it would prove that she knew more than just calling dad and mom.

"what about me?"

Muroto Sumire finally pointed at herself and asked.

Scorpio glanced at her and said nothing.

"Come, Xiaotian, come here and let mommy hug you."

Aqua clapped her hands and took Scorpio over very easily.

"Egg-like creatures have a characteristic, and that is the phenomenon of imprinting. Scorpios may regard you as their own parents when they first see you."

"Then why aren't you considered a parent by her?"

Broly asked curiously.

"That's my second point. When you injected that energy, she might have been able to feel it, so she regarded you as her parents. I didn't inject it, so I'm not her."

Scorpio's attitude towards them was very obvious. If you want to say what the difference is between Muroto Sumire and them, it's probably that she doesn't know magic or Qi. Just now, when Broly and the other two were charging Scorpio, she could only watch from the side.

"Does that mean Scorpio has successfully evolved now?"

Broly asked.

"That depends on your definition of successful evolution. If it's just about regaining rationality and wisdom, then it seems to be successful now. But if it's about returning to being human, her lower body isn't a foot."

Halfling, monster girl, this is what Scorpio looks like at the moment.

"Aqua-senpai, you can't do this. This child calls me mom too. Let me hug her too."

Just then, a quarrel broke out over at Aqua's end.

Eris also wanted to hug Scorpius, but Aqua didn't seem to let her.

"Hey, it's cracked. Scorpio seems to be cracked."

Suddenly, Aqua exclaimed.

Broly and Muroto Sumire looked over and saw Scorpio's body split into two, splitting into two smaller Scorpios, each holding Eris and Aqua.

Muroto Sumire opened her mouth wide. What did she see? The self-enhancing division of an individual organism?
Oh no, that's not right, the size has decreased, this should just be splitting.

But, is this something a living organism can do?
Oh, earthworms are barely okay.

"Ah, you guys, can you recover?"

During Eris's inquiry, the two Scorpios that had split into small ones came close to each other, and the touching parts melted, and then merged again into a large Scorpio.

Muroto Sumire looked up at the starry sky. If the zodiac-level protogastric animals were previously called mythical creatures as a description, then the current Scorpio is a confirmed mythical creature.

The abilities she displayed were no longer something that normal creatures could possess.

Evil god larva, Muroto Sumire suddenly thought of this word.

And her idea was not wrong. The ability of suspicion, exaggeration and lucky blessing created a super creature with divine power in the Black Bullet World.

Broly's expectation for Scorpio is to make her happy, and for Scorpio, happiness is having a family.

But her family no longer exists in this world, so in the process of evolution, doubt and exaggeration are trying to realize the goal of having a family.

Scorpio's evolution encountered an unexpected situation of insufficient biological energy. Aqua, Eris, and Broly worked together to replenish her evolutionary energy, which was the result of the guidance of lucky blessings.

The divine power transformed Scorpio's body, and Broly's energy filled the little guy with the energy needed for birth.

In a sense, Aqua, Eris, and Broly are indeed the parents of today's Scorpio.

However, the bond of kinship is not blood, but energy.

The divine power of the two goddesses and the Saiyan's energy were continuously output for twenty minutes.
