Day 143 - 10:15 PM - Core Laboratory, The Ice Cube, Arctic Depths
The fuzzy image flashed unstably, revealing a creature that was, albeit the sa as Chitrice but was also too different.
Like Chitrice, it was a humanoid Chira with body parts that ca from different creatures. Unlike those of Chitrice, however, just from the image alone, they could tell that each body part had a sinister aura of its own.
It had skin covered in red scales, a mouth with several layers of pointed teeth, red eyes covered in flas, muscular arms covered in wolven fur, and two legs that seed to have co from a bull. On its head, instead of hair, it had red flas as if it was an Elental Diety. And also different from Chitrice that had six wings, it only had a pair of blood-red wings that emanated an aura of a dragon.
And, of course, a characteristic that was present on Arcdevils, the spiraled horn of a ram.
Compared to Chitrice, it seed that there were fewer body parts used in the creation of this one. However, the entirety of its body appeared to be far more powerful than Chitrice in terms of raw strength.
That, however, was what made it even stranger.
How co that sothing like this had was composed of fewer body parts could give out such a nacing power compared to Chitrice?
"Can you see this?" The hologram spoke. "This is your younger brother, Trira."
Chitrice did not say anything and continued to observe the fuzzy screen, making the old man continue.
"Don't be fooled by its appearance just because it had fewer components. I can tell that you feel it even just by this image. The explosive power that this lad had."
The old man then turned to Chitrice.
"Your body had unfathomable resilience, endurance, and hardness. Even if you get hurt, you will heal perfectly fine after a while. Trira is different. His body is not as resilient as yours, but it might be possible that he can destroy your body if you got careless."
"I am sure that you already saw the hole in one chamber on your way here. Trira was the one that made that to escape. An explosive strength that even this impregnable place could not withstand."
"How did that happen?" Illia interjected. "Even Gods could not easily enter this place, where would The Creator get body parts that can display such strength?"
The old man smiled and asked.
"Do you rember what you saw along the way after entering this place?"
Illia grew silent as she realized.
The strange hybrid monsters that no one had seen before. Back then, before they left this place, although The Creator had experints regarding such a subject, it was still in infancy. And using the thods to preserve the body parts and patching them out together to form a creature, Chitrice was born.
Because of the creation of Chitrice, it beca easier for The Creator to create more hybrids. Body parts fused in a Chira would either reject each other during failure or complent each other at success. It was like the success of Chitrice, whose body parts functioned together, creating a stronger and more resilient body.
"At that ti, the true body only used mythical and divine creatures for experintation." The old man said. "But after you, Chitrice, was sealed, he found a few things wrong with his research."
"About having awareness?"
Chitrice asked.
"While that was one, it was not all," The old man shook his head. "What the true body wanted is a weapon that could kill ruthlessly, whether it be a god or not. Unfortunately, that was one thing that you lacked. Even that succubus, beside you, had more bloodlust than you. The true body thought that it was a failure to use mythical creatures alone. And that is why he started to dabble in the experintation of Demonic Creatures for his next anti-god weapon."
Of course, it was not easy. Using body parts of Demonic Creatures caused more failure than success. It was especially because these body parts had a volatile nature compared to non-demonic creatures.
But then, as he continued on the experintation, The Creator accidentally found sothing.
The Creator saw a circumstance that only happened during failure and only when using body parts from certain Demonic Creatures. Using a stronger body part on a weaker body could result in that body part draining the vitality, causing imbalance and rejection on the subject and would likely result in death.
However, that dead body itself could be used for experintation of other things. And that was when The Creator noticed that the body part that caused death beca stronger than before as he put it on other creatures.
And thus, The Creator started to create hybrids for such purpose, cultivating the Demonic Body Parts and making them grow stronger. The stronger it grew, the stronger the experintal subject was needed, and he created more. It was to the point that he created hybrids far stronger than most creatures in the world. It was only to cultivate certain body parts that he would need to create the next anti-god weapon.
After a few years of painstaking experints and the creation of hundreds to thousands of hybrid monsters, he reached the point where the body parts he wanted to use, beca on par with each other in terms of vitality and strength.
Putting all those things together, Trira was born.
The creature of pure strength and speed. An Arcdevil Chira.
And to prevent the past failure from Chitrice gaining awareness, The Creature made sure to wipe out any sign of consciousness on his new creation.
Without it, Trira should be nothing but a re puppet, right?
But that was where it went wrong.
At this point, the screen showed the last scene of Trira's creation. It was the ti for the Creator to wake up the new Humanoid Chira. The two golems that were supposed to safeguard the entrance was there to secure the safety of the Creator. After all, there were tis that new hybrids would react violently. Of course, he was confident that it would not happen as he did not give Trira any capability of thought.
The Creator pushed the buttons on his apparatus, draining the liquid in the glass chamber Trira was in. Soon, it woke up, not peacefully, but filled with rage.
It broke out of its capsule and charged unto the first moving object it saw, the golems.
With a blurred flash, the two golems were suddenly smashed into pieces. Even the Creator was not able to see how that happened.
The Creator imdiately activated the security asures, activating the barrier to protect him while deploying weapons to subdue Trira.
But it was all useless. Trira picked up a tal part from the smashed golem, twisting it into a spike, and threw it towards the Creator. The barrier shattered like glass, and the tal spike pierced the Creator on his chest. Although he was wearing protective clothing that stopped the tal spike from turning him into at paste from the impact, it caused the force to throw him unto the wall, nailing him mid-air.
Of course, he died there. There was no way that he would be surviving after his heart was destroyed.
After that, Trira went on a rampage, attacking and killing every creature it ca across in [The Ice Cube]. The frozen bodies all over the halls and rooms were the remains of that onslaught. After a while, Trira seed to want to go out of this place but did not know where the exit was. Thus, he punched a random wall, continuously, for several days. He was like a beast digging a way out of a cage. That was how the large hole in that chamber was created and where Trira escaped out.
"It was a total failure."
The hologram said with another shake of his head.
"Just what happened?" Illia asked. "Didn't he erased any ability of thought from that guy?"
"That was the cause of failure, my dear." The old man smiled. "I analyzed the data of the true body's last research and found the reason. Removing any ability of thought on Trira was the reason. It might have been fine if Trira was made of the sa creatures that Chitrice had. However, his body was made of cultivated Demonic body parts, and these Demonic Creatures were malicious and violent in nature. A body without thoughts made out of body parts from vicious creatures. It was nothing but a violent beast."
"We can't deny that he succeeded, though..." Chitrice spoke. "... in creating a creature capable of destruction and killing gods. Even the wall that most gods could not even dent was broken by him."
"Hahaha!" The old man laughed. "You don't have to be sarcastic. It was a failure through and through."
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, Chitrice and Illia felt so shaking.
"What is going on?"
Illia could not help but panic.
"So, we are out of ti."
The old man said with a sad expression.
"What do you an?"
Chitrice asked with a frown.
"What do you think?" The old man shrugged. "You saw the destruction that Trira did after waking up. A lot of things in this laboratory were destroyed. For several thousand years, everything that remained here was in a dormant state to preserve its condition."
"However, you two ca, and I had to wake up. This drained the remaining energy that kept this place afloat."
"You!"
Chitrice could not help but bla the hologram. After all, they barely got in here, and there were things they needed to do. And all of that just to know that it would soon sink into the bottom of the icy ocean.
"You can't bla , Chitrice. Sooner or later, this would happen. It was already a miracle that after thousands of years, it still managed to keep afloat. In the least, it is good that I managed to relay the last monts of the true body's life."
"And to say, warn you two of a possible threat."
Chitrice grew silent. There was no way to refute the old man.
"Wait, is that thing still alive?"
Illia asked.
"Unfortunately, yes."
The old man shrugged as a hidden cabinet opened nearby. Inside was a glass capsule containing an odd fla inside.
"This is a part of the flas on Trira's head. If this fla was extinguished, it ant that he died. However, as you can see..."
"He's still alive sowhere, isn't it?"
Chitrice said, closing his eyes.
"Yes." The old man nodded. "Unfortunately, there was no way to tell where he is right now. Also one thing. If he is still alive, there is a high chance that he gained intelligence after several thousand years. You two should be careful since he might target you two, especially you, Chitrice."
"Why is that?"
Illia asked.
"You two might not know it, but a Chira without a soul is nothing but a dead body. Both Chitrice and Trira were two pieces of one soul. I'm sure that you understand what that ant."
Chitrice took a deep breath and wanted to ask another question.
However...
RUMBLE!
The whole place shook once more. And now, it was stronger.
"You two should leave already." The old man's visage started to stutter. "Take the capsule. It will warn you two if Trira is nearby."
"Alright. Thank you."
Chitrice said as he took the capsule from the cabinet.
"Go to the top floor of the laboratory-"
The old man instructed in the last second. And like an unplugged television, the old man flickered and vanished.
RUMBLE!
The shaking started to intensify. However, it seed that it was still being controlled. Without a doubt, the old man was still doing his best to keep the place afloat until the two left.
And as the old man instructed, Chitrice and Illia rushed to the top floor. It was called the Landing Chamber. A part of [The Ice Cube] that could detach like a ship and be used at tis when the Creator had to gather more specin on land.
"Illia, do you rember how to operate this?"
Chitrice asked Illia, who already rushed to the control panel.
"Master, there are so changes but it seed that we can still use it. The energy reserve is quite low, though. It can only operate for a day or two."
"Good, let's leave."
And there, cracking the ice that covered [The Ice Cube], the Landing Chamber detached from the main structure for the first ti in several thousand years.
At the sa ti, the main structure of [The Ice Cube] started to lose altitude. It was the final monts of the laboratory where two anti-god weapons were born before it sunk into the deepest depths of the icy ocean.
