Chapter 468: Eerie-Sounding Evolution Options
-----
This one last Evolution… I don't know about that chief. It sounds pretty broken if it can do so much, even better than the Daydreaming Dragon… but the insanity part, that's a big nope for me.
And… well, I kind of like it, a bit. My inner edgy chunni is really telling me to pick it, but I got killed with the part where I go insane and turn into pure nightmares without being able to cross into the physical plane… I would rather stay as I am.
…
[Mythical Winter Naga Dragon]
A mythical creature of legends of ancient times, an Ice Dragon can evolve into this Mythical Creature through fulfilling several requirements.
The Mythical Winter Naga Dragon is a powerful being, with the lower half of a long, serpentine dragon and the upper half of a handsome and delicate-looking humanoid draconic being, your power over Winter Magic become superb, while now having the ability to utilize hands dexterously and be able to communicate with other demi-humans more easily. You also acquire the power to adjust your size and the path to the Snake Evolution Tree and its abilities is also opened, such as Snake Evil Eyes, Venom Magic, and more.
This evolution specializes in magic and physical fighting alike, giving you great proficiency in weapon usage through your six new humanoid arms.
…
Huh, I guess this would be a blessing in disguise if I were not able to already shapeshift into a humanoid. With this I would be able to finally get some sort of humanoid appearance, but as of now it seems pretty useless to me… well, it sounds interesting! I would become some sort of Lamia-like being I suppose. I think I can already take such a form though, but well, I wouldn't really want to.
…
[Disaster Bringer Behemoth Ice Dragon]
A gigantic being, a special evolution of an Ice Giant that can only be given to those that have rampaged and destroyed many places and killed and devoured many strong beings.
This evolution grants the user a gigantic body, the Behemoth Ice Dragons are known as behemoths for a good reason, their power is admirable beyond belief, titans of the world that roam slowly. Their bodies being hundreds of meters big, their flat backs are like enormous landscapes where forests and life flourish. Your very step is a disaster whenever you walk…
You gain incredible physical power and magical abilities, but your movements are severely inhibited by your gigantic and heavy size, you lose the ability to fly and communicate properly, and might require several years of slumber to recover energy.
…
This evolution does sounds pretty great but, eeeehh, I don't like the part where I need to nap for so long, or the part where I can't even sleep? Can I even shapeshift with such a big amount of mass?
If I were to change into such an inconvenient form, I would be shapeshifting into other forms all the time, so I would never be able to see this form to begin with…
But well, it doesn't sounds bad with the cheat of shapeshifting with me, so I could think about it… Yeah, it does sounds mildly reasonable.
However, there's a last evolution, one with quite the long name
…
[Apocalypse-Bringer Winter Mountain Orochi Dragon]
A being never been born before, the bloodline of the giant snakes that descend from Jormungandr evolves alongside the bloodlines of ice dragons and many others within the user's unique body, bringing forth this completely unique evolution.
You become a powerful being prophesied to bring the Apocalypse to the world. Descend from the Winter Mountain your awake and open your several eyes spread across your eight heads, wave your eight tails and shake the earth asunder. Your tremendous might knows no equal within your Realms, and perhaps even beyond it.
All your capabilities are enhanced.
…
"…"
Apocalypse Bringing… Eeeeh? Am I that important? This sounds a bit bad to me.
But I don't know… maybe this is the one I should pick. At the end though, all these Evolution Options sound very eerie and rather problematic in one way or another...
Though I don't know how I should feel about having eight heads and height tails, well, the tails are no problem but the heads? Kind of weird… No, it doesn't really mater actually, I've already cloned myself and can control several bodies at the same time, even, having multiple heads is nothing new, and I can always just hide them in my ice giant form.
Yes, I will pick this one at the end.
Ding!
F L A A A S S S H!
I quickly jumped out of bed and flew outside before starting, as I landed right outside the walls of the Sect, forming a massive cocoon of ice around me.
My entire body quickly transformed into my original dragon form, as I began to expand and grow bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger, more monstrous and larger, even rather bizarre.
I felt the pain of my flesh twisting and my bones cracking at every second, but I embraced this pain so I could get the best out of this wondrous evolution, I had to get it all out and quickly evolve, it was thousands of times better to bear this pain than having to wait like two days to evolve…
I felt like my body turned even more serpentine than before, growing longer and longer, my tail suddenly began to divide into eight different tails, and several brains formed around my own brains, and then blossomed like flower petals around my head, they were seven new heads, all with my own thoughts, but separated, as if I had begun to split my personalities across them…
I felt rather dizzy, my very self was changing constantly, I didn't knew what to do other than close my eyes tightly and continue evolving… Orochi… I was becoming a mythical creature of Japanese Myth…
