Chrysalis

Chapter 1077

After my chat with Granin and the team I say goodbye and head off onto the plains to gather my thoughts. Al tags along with us, it seems he’s interested in seeing how the current dilemma is playing out around the stratum, so he wants to see it with his own eye.

From what we’ve learned, it’s clear that the struggles experienced by the Colony here in the third are caused by an Ancient. Doesn’t sound like Arconi-douche is even actively doing something. He, or it, or whatever, is just awake, which is apparently enough to infect every demon in the Dungeon with their nonsense.

It’s ridiculous! I might have a connection with the Colony around me, but at least I’m not influencing their behaviour! At least, I hope to Gandalf I’m not. I certainly don’t want to! If anything, I hope their responsible attitudes rub off on me a little. I’ve been blundering blindly forward for so long that it almost feels alien to try and plan ahead.

But that’s what I’ve been doing now! Gweheheheh.

I’ve reset my carapace and mandibles, but I’ve yet to mutate them. I wanted to take out the new model and give it a spin before I tried to think about what I might want to do, mutation wise. There’s a lot to consider after all. I think the time is right to dive into the menus and have a good look at what’s available, but before I do, there’s something I want to confirm.

[Hey, Invidia.]

The envy demon flaps his little wings and turns that enormous green eye on me.

[Yesssss?]

[According to what Al over there and even Granin had to say, every demon can feel the influence of Arconidem. Does that go for you too?]

Say what you will about the little guy, he has one heck of an intense stare when he wants to.

[Yessss,] he confirms.
