I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Hmm? You can go back."

"Huh? Eh? Eh?!"

Chapter 141 [Split Pool]

"Wait, wait, wait! Zelus! Did you just say I could go back to Terra?!"

Warfarin looked at Zelus, who was drinking her fruit juice, with a surprised expression and said this, while Zelus looked at Warfarin with a puzzled expression and said:

"Hmm? Did I say you couldn't go back to Terra?"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin was stunned. Then, Warfarin carefully considered that Zelus did not seem to have said that she could not return to Terra. The thought of being able to go back finally made Warfarin feel relieved. She would never want to live on this planet, and with the long lifespan of her race, Warfarin estimated that she would be bored to death.

Uh… that’s not quite right either. To be precise, I can’t even survive a few days, right?

"Phew... As long as I can go back, that's good. Uh... But how exactly do I get back?"

Warfarin, having calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she didn't want to spend another day on this terrifying planet. If it weren't for Zelus helping her with something similar to Originium Arts that those creatures called Primal Zerg couldn't see, smell, or hear, Warfarin suspected she would have died shortly after arriving on this planet.

Of course, Warfarin thought that even with the protection of Originium Arts-like magic, she might still be inexplicably crushed to death by a giant foot falling from the sky.

Regarding Warfarin's question, Zelus slightly curled the corners of her lips and looked at Warfarin, saying:

"Of course I can take you home..."

"Eh?"

................

"It's this way."

Zelus easily jumped down from a high place and turned around to Warfarin, who was following closely behind her, and said this. Warfarin jumped down from the rock and looked at the high place that Zelus was pointing to in the distance.

...half an hour ago...

Zelus tells Warfarin that she has a way to send Warfarin back to Terra, but before that, Zelus gives Warfarin two choices: one is for Zelus to send Warfarin back directly while erasing her memories of this place; the other is for Zelus to give Warfarin Towa!, which is the so-called power.

"strength?"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin looked at Zelus with the same wary gaze one would give a pyramid scheme, after all, in novels, the main villains always used the word "power" to lure unfortunate supporting characters into becoming cannon fodder.

Seeing Warfarin's reaction, Zelus stared at Warfarin with dead fish eyes and said:

"Oh, don't imagine me as one of those masterminds in novels... those insignificant guys can't compare to me~"

Zelus moved slightly closer to Warfarin and said:

"The power I'm offering you possesses limitless potential for evolution..."

Zelus's next sentence made Warfarin feel a sudden tightness in her chest.

"If you can use this power skillfully, it's not impossible to use it to eliminate Oripathy!"

This is one of the reasons why Warfarin chose the second option. She originally wanted to refuse, but the reward offered was simply too much.

Of course, such a choice is conditional, but fortunately, the conditions that Zelus offers herself will not cause any harm to Rhodes Island. On the contrary, it can bring some benefits to Rhodes Island and even the world of Terra.

………….

After Zelus and Warfarin arrived at a high point, Warfarin looked at the strange pool in front of her with a curious expression. The pool was larger than a swimming pool, and the water was dark brown. Something seemed to be wriggling in it, but because the water was somewhat murky, Warfarin could not see what was in it.

However, Warfarin always felt that there seemed to be something bad about it.

Warfarin looked at the bubbling pool with a strange expression and pointed, saying:

"Um... Miss Zelus? What is this?"

Regarding Warfarin's question, Zelus smiled and said to Warfarin:

"This is a split pool. The earliest primitive Zerg were born in such a split pool, and the earliest split pools existed longer than any civilization has existed..."

Warfarin looked at the pool in front of her, which was called the "Split Pool," and stroked her chin with some curiosity, saying:

"Did the Primal Zerg originate from this pool? To be honest, it's hard to imagine how a Tyrannosaurus Rex could emerge from such a pool..."

Zelus, standing to the side, glanced at Warfarin and said:

"Of course, we should start with the most basic primitive Zerg. Have you forgotten what I told you about the primitive Zerg before?"

Hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin nodded as if she had thought of something and said:

"Yeah, I almost forgot."

Zelus also told her about the Primal Zerg, explaining it simply as a group of powerful creatures that could gain the ability to hunt prey.

Meanwhile, Zelus also told her about the phenomenon of void transfer, saying that it was how creatures from another world were transferred to their world. Warfarin believed this news. Just before Eyjafjalla and the others arrived at Rhodes Island, they encountered a strange creature they had never seen before.

Zelus even showed Warfarin the footage of this creature fighting Eyjafjalla and the others, which made Warfarin believe Zelus's words.

The two then arrived at the Splitting Pool. Warfarin looked at the Splitting Pool beneath her feet and swallowed hard. It wasn't that Warfarin was craving it, but rather that she was nervous. For some reason, Warfarin felt that the Splitting Pool looked a little uncomfortable, as if she were standing next to the mouth of a monster, which made her uneasy.

Zelus, who was standing to the side, pointed to the Split Pool and said to Warfarin:

"Okay, take off your clothes and go downstairs."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin looked completely bewildered and exclaimed, "Huh?"

"Huh? Do I have to take my clothes off?"

Zelus looked at Warfarin with a calm expression and said:

"You don't have to take them off, but don't blame me if you run out of clothes later."

After Zelus finished speaking, Warfarin took a deep breath and then took off her clothes. Since it was just her and Zelus together, and they were both girls, there was nothing to be shy about.

After removing her tattered clothes, Warfarin revealed her pale skin and slowly walked towards the center of the split pool.

Chapter 142 [Zelus: Get in here, you bastard!]

In one of the smaller split pools on the planet Zerus, Warfarin was slowly walking toward the center of the pool, like a newborn baby.

Warfarin's eyes twitched as she felt something soft under her feet. She was certain it wasn't the texture of mud, but rather something like biological tissue or organs.

Warfarin immediately felt goosebumps rise all over her body, not to mention the sticky feeling of the liquid under her feet, which made her want to back out.

Before Warfarin could even back down, Zelus behind her gave her a gentle push with her psionic energy, sending the unsuspecting Warfarin scrambling forward to the center of the Split Pool. Before Warfarin could react, a cocoon resembling a flower petal enveloped her.

Seeing that Warfarin was encased in the cocoon, Zelus breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew~ You finally got me in. Honestly, it's really troublesome to use psionic energy to fool people."

Yes, after encountering Warfarin, Zelus also used psychic energy to "lower Warfarin's intelligence." Otherwise, Warfarin would not have been able to believe her so easily. After all, in such a situation, if a mysterious person suddenly appears and says that he can save you and give you power, any smart person would be more or less wary, right?

Not to mention the Sarkaz people like Warfarin, who have lived for countless years.

Zerus's use of psychic powers to interfere with Warfarin's thinking is crucial, given that Warfarin is the first intelligent humanoid to come to her side. This is related to whether Warfarin can later use her powers to lure people from Rhodes Island to join Zerus's side.

However, at present, only Warfarin is suitable for Zelus's transformation. Zelus is not very clear about the others, of course, males do not count.

"Forget it, let's focus on Warfarin's modification. Otherwise, it would be a joke if something else ended up on Warfarin."

...............

After a while, Warfarin's modifications were completed. Since there weren't many areas to modify, it didn't take much time or effort.

Zelus brought Warfarin's clothes to the cocoon, and then let the cocoon open by itself. The liquid in the splitting pool inside flowed out, and Zelus saw Warfarin lying in the cocoon, which looked like a flower unfolding.

Zelus could clearly see the labor-inducing fluid slowly sliding down Warfarin's pale skin, making Warfarin look a little strange, and this was made even more noticeable by Warfarin's pale complexion.

This prompted Zelus to immediately take out her phone from her spatial pocket, snap a few photos of Warfarin, and then save them. Afterward, Zelus nudged Warfarin and said:

"Wake up, little one! Time to get up, the sun's shining on your belly!"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin frowned and slowly opened her crimson eyes. Looking at the white clouds floating in the sky and Zelus beside her, Warfarin realized that her transformation seemed to be complete. However, she wondered if the feeling that someone had pushed her from behind was just her imagination.

Upon waking, Warfarin instinctively clenched her fists and noticed that her strength seemed to have increased. Zelus, standing beside her, smiled at Warfarin and said:

"So, are you satisfied with this power?"

Warfarin paused for a moment after hearing Zelus's words, then nodded and said:

"Hmm! I've never felt such power before..."

Zelus, who was standing nearby, also reminded Warfarin:

"Power is good, but don't lose your sense of self."

Hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin snapped out of her reverie and nodded quickly. Seeing Warfarin's reaction, Zelus nodded in satisfaction, then handed the clothes to Warfarin, saying:

"Put your clothes on first, then let's try out your new powers."

Soon, Warfarin and Zelus, dressed in their own clothes, arrived in the jungle. They quickly hid in the bushes and watched a large wild boar eating something not far away. Yes, it was the giant boar from Monster Hunter World (not the Great Boar King, but slightly larger than other giant boars).

These giant boars were extracted from the biological essence obtained by Zerus from Yuhaka and then hatched through the Splitting Pool. Although they are not much different from the giant boars in Monster Hunter World, they also have the ability to plunder the biological essence of other creatures, just like the Primal Zerg. At least the giant boar that Warfarin is facing now is still a relatively new one.

Warfarin shuddered at the sight of the enormous wild boar with its massive tusks. Being gored by such thick, large tusks would surely kill her!

Although Warfarin had seen wild boars before, she had at least seen them in the bestiary. However, this was the first time she had ever seen a wild boar in person. If there were a few wild boars this big, the food on Rhodes Island might improve.

"Wait, why did I suddenly think of food??"

Zelus looked at Warfarin, who had a puzzled expression, and said:

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to do anything?"

Hearing Zelus's words, Warfarin nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll give it a try..."

As she spoke, Warfarin pointed her palm at the wild boar that was eating. Then, Warfarin's eyes glowed red, and an ominous crimson aura emanated from her body. Suddenly, the wild boar began to convulse, and soon, bright red blood began to flow from its entire body. Surprisingly, the blood did not flow downwards, but upwards.

Soon, the upward-flowing blood coalesced into a blood sphere and then transformed into a shape resembling a two-handed greatsword. Subsequently, the two-handed greatsword formed from the blood flowing from the wild boar quickly turned into a blackish-red crystalline object.

"Fall down!"

As Warfarin suddenly clenched her fist, a red and black blood crystal, resembling a two-handed greatsword, flashed with a red light before falling from the top of the wild boar's head and piercing the boar's skull into the ground.

The wild boar twitched once and then lay still. Warfarin stared at her handiwork with an incredulous expression.

Chapter 143 [The Title Girl Was Eaten by Warfarin!]

Warfarin looked at the boar pinned to the ground by her Originium Arts with surprise. She hadn't expected that she could unleash her power to an even greater degree than before without the Originium Arts staff.

"So, are you satisfied with my modifications?"

Zelus, standing to the side, watched Warfarin speak with a beaming smile. Warfarin, somewhat incredulous, clenched her fist and said:

"It feels incredible. I never thought I could unleash such power. Even when I was wielding the Originium Arts Staff, I wasn't sure I could do this much."
