‘What the hell is that…?’
Seeing Carla collapsed on the floor, trembling, the spider I possessed scurried down the wall and approached her.
With the timing being what it was, all I saw was something shiny passing between her legs as the door opened, disappearing as if skimming across her thighs.
“Haa… haaa… sob… uhuh…”
Carla’s ragged breaths and occasional sobs filled the air.
And with her lower back spasming from time to time, I was at a loss, not knowing what had happened to her.
The only clue was her hand on her lower abdomen, making me guess that she had a stomachache.
‘Call someone… someone…!! This won’t do!
No…!! Aurora must be nearby…!!’
“Aah… eungh…!”
However, as a familiar scent began to fill the air, the spider’s eyes turned to one spot.
‘Now…? In this situation…?’
The sweet smell of arousal filling the spider’s sensory organs made me crawl sideways to confirm the unsettling feeling I’d had for a while.
‘It’s… coming out…!!’
The sight of her panties, soaked with sticky arousal fluids, visible between Carla’s thighs.
The scene was so out of place with the current situation that I hesitated for a moment before finally making a decision.
‘I have to check…’
Using the sharp tips of my legs, I tore away the damp panties clinging to her buttocks and slowly began to squeeze my way into her dainty behind, which reminded me of the old days.
“Ah…!! Uuu…”
Carla’s moans echoed through my entire body, transmitted directly through the vaginal walls into the spider’s body.
And as I began to explore her sticky insides, soaked with her fluids, I carefully moved forward.
‘A wound…? Inflammation…?
I need to find something… uh…?’
But even as I stirred around in her narrow vagina, I couldn’t find anything significant.
Confused, I finally realized the source of the unsettling feeling I’d had for a while and turned my body towards it.
‘Why is her uterus… swollen…?’
Carla’s slightly swollen lower abdomen, which I had noticed from the outside.
Inside, I could see the clearly dilated cervix and the voluminous uterus, which made me want to confirm the presence of something inside.
‘What the hell is in here…? Ugh…!!’
Delicately inserting the sharp tip of my leg into the narrow opening of the cervix, I carefully pried it open.
When I discovered the silver silhouette of something inside, I was so startled that I couldn’t help but flinch.
Carla’s invention, a liquid metal creation that mimicked a spider.
Just the other day, it had gone berserk, going into security mode or whatever, when it found me.
But even though it clearly recognized me, it was focused on doing something, looking like it was resembling something.
‘That’s… a tentacle…?’
A very thin tube connected to the corner of Carla’s uterus.
It was pushing a thread-like line into it, swallowing something, looking very much like me, inserting tentacles into the wombs of heat-stricken female beastkins to extract mature eggs.
‘Why…? More importantly, how did it do that…?’
The thing was focused on its work, manipulating the tentacles without moving.
After swallowing something for a while, it finally began to slowly pull the tentacles out of Carla’s fallopian tubes.
And as I backed away in surprise, it opened the cervix itself and crawled out of Carla’s uterus on its own.
Now shaped like a long clump of tentacles rather than a spider, it seemed to be following me as I backed away.
Perhaps it was because it felt like it was approaching me.
As I cautiously retreated, filled with wariness, I felt Carla’s body twitch and her vagina constrict.
As I pried open Carla’s vulva and fell to the floor, the thing that had emerged from Carla’s vagina transformed into a spider and began to move towards me.
‘What…? Why is it following me…?’
“Huuh… haa…”
Fortunately, Carla, relieved, let out a deep sigh as the two masses emerged from her uterus and vagina, her breathing and expression becoming more relaxed.
Now that I was in trouble, I backed away, trying to lead it away.
‘First, I have to keep it from going back to Carla…
It’s a waste, but… there are plenty of spiders anyway…!!
If it attacks… I’ll just have to fight…!!’
Like looking in a mirror, the silver figure wiggled its four legs and approached me.
Once I decided that I was far enough away from Carla, I finally relaxed and began to prepare to fight it.
I raised my two front legs like a spider threatening its opponent, glaring at the thing that was gradually approaching me…
‘Huh?’
The thing didn’t show any signs of aggression even as it approached me.
It just came up to me listlessly and groped me a few times with its legs, as if to check something.
‘What’s this?
Something’s wrong…’
The last time, it had tried to destroy me with a flame harpoon uppercut that pierced the ceiling, and all sorts of other things.
I was dumbfounded by its behavior, which seemed almost affectionate, and could only wait for it to finish its exploration.
It even tilted its head and slowly opened its mouth, revealing small lumps clustered together like flying fish roe, welcoming me.
I didn’t know why, but I just stared blankly at it as it forced them on me.
‘Yo… you… you… you crazy bastard!!
Why are you taking this out…!!’
I couldn’t fully grasp the principles behind this thing’s actions yet, but I knew one thing for sure.
‘It’s… imitating Enic…
How could this happen…?’
Carla couldn’t possibly know about Enic, and even if she did, she wouldn’t be crazy enough to make something that imitated such a being.
If she had only known what spiders originally did, Carla’s disgust for me would have plummeted to the point of piercing the mantle, outer core, and inner core.
Basically, the spider’s modus operandi was to arouse women through caresses and make them ejaculate fluids.
Storing it in its body and spreading it as nourishment for the nest was a bonus.
But the fact that this thing had burrowed into the uterus and extracted eggs through the fallopian tubes meant that it could perform not only the role of a spider but also that of a tentacle.
The fact that ‘Carla’s’ invention had done this was a bit of a shock to me.
‘Why…? For what…?
Did it even know about my existence…?’
I tested it to see if it was an individual that had been left alone after being scattered outside, but it didn’t seem to be able to be possessed by me or listen to my commands.
But seeing it hand me the eggs ‘for cooperation with its own kind’ made it seem like a real spider.
As if it were moving according to instinct.
As if it had to do this from the beginning.
‘As if it was born that way…
Huh…? Come to think of it… Carla’s report…’
The contents of Carla’s presentation report, which I had secretly peeked at when she was away from the lab.
『Equipped with an adaptive evolution protocol.
Can imitate the most appropriately evolved individual depending on the situation, or change its molecular structure into a form suitable for problem-solving.
Can adjust hardness to become harder, or melt like water…』
‘You’re the one who made this happen…!!’
Now that I was beginning to understand the general situation, I recalled the situation when I was attacked by it, dredging up memories from the past.
When I remembered the way it had jumped up to the ceiling where I was sitting and pierced it like a stake, I began to speculate with a feeling of disbelief.
‘What’s the medium for evolution or imitation? Surely not DNA?
Spiders leave a little bit of mucus every time they move…
If it imitated me using that as a medium…!!’
Moreover, spiders are the most basic members of the colony that Enic produces directly from his body and implants in female bodies to hatch.
If you follow the helix of genetic information, you might be able to successfully analyze Enic’s genes themselves.
‘You’ve created something terrifying…
How are you going to deal with the aftermath…!!’
I later learned that the adaptive evolution protocol itself was a common technology used in various autodrones in Barumhausen.
For example, in the hot and humid south, the molecular structure is stiffened as much as possible to prevent excessive radiant heat and moisture from causing malfunctions, while in the cold and dry north, molecular collisions are intentionally caused to maintain the optimum operating temperature.
However, since autodrones with fixed shapes and precise designs are fundamentally limited in their usefulness even when affected by the adaptive evolution protocol.
Carla’s liquid metal autodrone, which has no fixed shape and a high degree of freedom in terms of functionality, is the one that can make the most of the adaptive evolution protocol in that sense.
‘There are things to evolve and things not to evolve…!!’
This thing, which even I, the closest thing to the main body, can’t control, was completely following the instincts engraved in the original Enic’s body.
Forcibly extracting eggs from Carla without any consideration, and handing them to me, who it recognized as a fellow member.
In the end, a new Enic, no different from a beast that doesn’t think of women as anything more or less than prey, was born with a metal body.
A new Enic is growing underground, and now there’s a scrap metal Enic.
As I was filled with worries about how to deal with the aftermath, I could only stare blankly at the thing in front of me, which was taking the path of destruction from the very first button.
That is, with a handful of Carla’s eggs in my mouth.
‘Still… it’s not a bad guy… I guess…
It feels kind of… delicious…
Haa… I wonder if the river water here is warm…?’
It was one of those moments when I really resented this body.
