I am a Scarecrow and the Demon Lord of Terror! - Chapter 147
Chapter 147: The Importance of Power
Sword Apophis, who had realized this early on, thirsted for power more than anyone else.
And with power, it could even break free from this contract.
Although it was not realistic, it was still an expectation.
Sword Apophis thirsted for freedom.
And with power, he was qualified to negotiate and obtain the freedom he wanted.
Power could give people a sense of security.
This was the same for Sword Apophis.
Back to the present, in order to prove its worth, Sword Apophis would never let Flanders down.
It would do everything in its power to make itself last in this world.
Freedom might be difficult, but as long as it existed, one day it would realize this insignificant, small, and humble wish.
Following the previous question, what was the use of the strange creature egg? Sword Apophis’s answered, “the greatest use of it is to incubate a strange creature.”
Incubating strange creatures was something that Flanders had witnessed with his own eyes. The father had turned into a wild boar man, and his face was hideous and repulsive. It was enough to scare a person with a bad heart to death.
In terms of appearance, Flanders was inferior.
“Just like now?”
Flanders asked casually. He thought that sword Apophis would give an affirmative answer, but he heard him say, “no, this is actually just hatching this strange creature’s guard.”
A new phrase appeared in Flanders’s mind. Flanders pondered, and then looked meaningfully at the family of three who was currently transforming.
“Guards?”
He looked at the mother of the three and continued to ask:
“Does this mean that the husband and daughter are the mother’s guards?”
If that was the case, then everything could be explained.
Although they were guards, there were also close and distant relationships. As a husband who would only bully her every day, he naturally had to fulfill his duty as a ‘guard’.
On the other hand, as the daughter she loved the most, she only needed to be like a princess, beautiful and carefree.
And her daughter’s strength was not to protect her mother but to protect herself.
Just as Flanders thought that his guess was the correct answer, Sword Apophis’s voice appeared once again.
“Master, it’s not. In fact, that woman is also a guard.”
Hearing this, Flanders could not understand. So was this mother.
He clearly felt a temptation that was far greater than the others in her body, but now she was telling Flanders that he had guessed wrong.
Interesting.
Flanders was not angry. Instead, he was very interested in the family in front of him.
“If that’s the case, then where is this strange creature now?”
After saying that, he felt that his choice of words was a little inappropriate. Then, he changed his words and added, “no, to be more precise, where is this strange creature that hasn’t appeared in this world until now?”
As he said that, Flanders’s gaze fell on the mother. At this moment, the mother’s body began to change.
Her body, which was originally skinny due to long-term violence and long-term labor, gradually began to become plump.
Gray air flowed into the woman’s body and began to fill up the emptiness of her body over the years.
Her pale skin gradually became red.
Yes, it was red. Whether it was Alice or the fat man, after the changes, their bodies were changing to an inhuman stage.
Even Alice, who had maintained her human form, seemed to be albino at the moment. Her entire body was snow-white, except for her pair of bright red eyes.
She did not look human at all. Instead, she looked more like a monster from classical mythology.
This mother was different. The more strange creature her body absorbed, the more she looked like a healthy person.
Even after absorbing to a certain extent, this mother began to become younger.
At the same time, the wrinkles on her face disappeared, her skin became smooth and delicate, and her hair became smoother and lustrous.
The traces of time disappeared from her body.
In just a short while, she became very attractive.
At this time, Sword Apophis’s voice appeared in Flanders’s mind.
“Master, if my feeling isn’t wrong, this strange creature should be in this woman’s stomach right now.”
“Huh?” Flanders was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood Sword Apophis’meaning.
“Could it be that this fellow is pregnant!?”
If that was the case, then everything would make sense.
This place had clearly been isolated, and it could be said that there was no fourth person that existed.
But the family of three in front of him was not the real existence that the strange creature egg was going to give birth to.
This was unbelievable.
But if the strange creature that was being given birth was just an unborn baby, then everything would be explained.
If it was a fetus, then it could indeed be considered the fourth person.
“She actually gave birth to a strange creature?”
This reality really shocked Flanders. This was the first time he knew that a strange person could have a mother.
Facing this magical scene, Flanders could not help but feel a trace of curiosity. After giving birth, what kind of form would this strange creature take?
And what would this strange creature who descended into this world look like?
Would it be more of a human or more of a strange creature?
Flanders had studied many movies, and they all used themes that were similar to enemies and friends.
Perhaps this half-human, half-strange creature suddenly had the wrong idea, wanting to eliminate all the strange creatures and then help the humans.
These were possible scenarios. On the contrary, whether it was in the movies or in reality, there were similar scenes.
And sometimes, reality was more magical than these imaginary things.
“Yes, master. The unborn child of the other party is the main body of this strange creature egg.”
His gaze swept back and forth between the woman’s flat stomach.
Flanders did not see anything.
This could also be related to the fact that the strange creature egg was hidden too deeply.
At this moment, Flanders could no longer feel the stronger attraction from this family.
Or, it could be said that the attraction had spread throughout the entire room.
And the essence of the attraction might be the body’s desire for the fog.
But according to Flanders’s guess, the person in the other party’s stomach should be in a conscious state.
Even because his mother had expressed her allegiance to him, there was no effective way for this unborn strange creature to deal with Flanders.
