I am the God of Technology

Chapter 290 Establishing A Force 2

Humphrey was surprised to feel the power coursing through him. When he checked, he felt a tiny porous core within his abdomen area that was slowly spinning. It was full of a nearly liquid-like blackish-red energy that filled him with intimacy and a sense of power.

More than that, he felt that his entire physique had changed. He had gone from a relatively short half-elf that was handsome to the point of being beautiful to a relatively bulky being that was like a fat strongman.

However, the funny thing was that Humphrey knew that this form was packed with severe power and could be discarded at any time. It was like a… like a suit. Like a separate suit that was very intimate with him.

A name came to mind: The Seven Deadly Sins, the Power of Gluttony!

His special ability was the power to devour and regain his battle power endlessly. His fleshy form was meant to act as a defense and a form of 'engine' for his consumption. The large body could split open at the stomach area and toss bodies or things into it and convert them to energy for Humphrey.

However, looking at how atrocious and demonic his outer form was designed, Humphrey could understand why the others made fun of him. As a supremely handsome fellow, being turned into this was the biggest irony ever.

Dante by the side was especially surprised, looking Humphrey up and down like he was seeing him for the first time. "Interesting, I didn't know you were a glutton."

Humphrey jolted and glanced at Dante with disbelief. "Did you read my memories or something?"

"Nah, there's no need for that. When I turn someone into a deadly sin, they transform into the sin they are most guilty of. If that sin is taken, they do not transform and become a normal hellfire demon," Dante explained, giving Humphrey a pointed look.

Humphrey immediately flushed, as he switched back to his elven form. He now understood why the others mocked him, as it was not because of how he looked but what he ended up becoming.

Seeing the group glancing at them, Humphrey felt he needed to defend himself. "I-I like food. And my dad said that the height problem runs in our family, so if I want to grow tall, I need to eat more!"

Hearing this explanation, everyone was dumbfounded.

My Brother in Christ, it was 10998!

You could literally have a single gene reconstruction surgery and fix your height problem for generations to come, what was with that excuse parents gave to children from the 21st century in order to get them to eat their food?

"Ehhh, suddenly I understand a lot. The usual cold and arrogant disposition is because he is scared that once he befriends people, his secret would be leaked," Aisha said knowingly with a smile.

Dante glanced at the woman with approval. If there was anyone here who could read emotions as well as he did, it would have to be her. However, given she was an ex-mafiadonna in the heart of Italy for a while, she naturally had the skill to read others.

As for Harold and Lucia, they were youngsters who had grown up relatively pampered. Even Harold who whined and complained was only average among pure humans. In the scope of the universe, he was basically a 1 percenter.

Humphrey, having his true nature revealed was completely embarrassed and stood around stupidly. Aisha's eye lit up with a predatory look, finding the fellow to be quite cute and especially innocent to some degree.

Just what she liked.

Eventually, the cocoon of Slessor broke open next, revealing the lamia who had changed greatly. She was no longer even humanoid, having grown in size about ten times to become a monstrosity that gazed down on all of them.

Apart from her 'head' area which glowed with a red light, the rest of her body was a mass of thick and powerful tentacles that could likely whip a giant tree into the sky. A red light energy emanated from her head, denoting what should be her eye.

Immediately, all the laughter stopped as the others felt extreme trepidation and fear. Even the base went into alert mode as hundreds of bio-warriors and androids equipped with weapons rushed into the control center and aimed their weapons at Slessor.

Even the now four Deadly Sins glanced at her with shock and a hint of confusion, but no fear. After all, would one be scared of their own direct cousin?

Dante was the most surprised though. "Stand down, she is not a threat. She has achieved something greater than anyone could have expected."

The base calmed down, and all the warriors shuffled out, but if you looked harder, the majority of the bio-warriors had cold sweat on their backs as they felt extreme fear when poised to fight Slessor as she currently was.

"Um… what's wrong with me?" Slessor's voice sounded out in their minds, as her current form obviously did not have any speech capabilities.

Hearing her still feminine and youthful voice filled with its usual exoticness, the four sins could not help but feel a sense of dissonance. Meanwhile, Dante did not find it strange since he already knew the cause and effect.

"Nothing is wrong with you. When I imbued you with my hellfire true qi, I expected you to become a deadly sin. What I did not expect was that a mutation occurred with your bloodline and you achieved some form of atavism, becoming the peak of the serpent species, the strongest demonic being among them: The Gorgon," Dante explained.

"That's it, the Gorgon! I knew she looked familiar, and the kinship aura she was giving me was not as strong as these three, but also not too far off!" Aisha exclaimed as she finally put a name to her suspicions.

Slessor transformed back into her normal form, only that her lamia body had disappeared, and she had become fully humanoid. After all, she was previously a mixed breed human like Humphrey, with serpentine ancestors mixed with human ones.

Now both bloodlines had completely separated, the serpentine side manifesting as the Gorgon while the human side was left to do its own thing. All in all, she still looked mostly the same as her upper body was always humanoid, only that she had legs now.

Just like in her lamia form, she was quite tall, at around 6 feet, and her body was extremely voluptuous due to her serpentine lineage. As a lamia, her chest area had already broken many records, and it didn't reduce one bit even now.

The interesting part was that her newfound legs, hips, and backside had joined the crew and expanded outwards, giving her a very, very noticeable hourglass shape. Her former red scales for her legs formed a sort of skirt for her that covered up to her upper thigh while she still wore the bra pad on her upper body.

Her short red hair still remained the same, looking stringy and coiled like resting snakes. Her nose was high, her lips wide yet thin, and her eyes slitted with a deep amber color. Slessor had always been attractive, even as a Lamia, but very few made a move because Lamias were 'dangerous' sexual partners.

After all, once they imprinted on a male partner during intercourse, they became fixated on their partner for life, unable to look at anyone else. The downside was that this created near-yandere tendencies that could lead to disasters.

Everyone claimed they wanted a yandere, but that was a 'perfect' yandere who was just obsessed without the negative aspects of being obsessed.

So essentially everyone just wanted a loyal partner.

No one actually wanted a real yandere in reality because your life would become a living hell. The amount of trauma and stress you would go through on a daily basis was simply not desirable.

Anyway, the current Slessor did pull at the heartstrings of those here because with a fully humanoid body, they could trick themselves into thinking that she had lost those fearsome traits, when in truth, they had probably grown stronger.

Slessor blushed slightly when she sensed the slight arousal of the males around her, but her eyes showed slight disappointment when she glanced at Dante and realized that he had no such feelings towards her.

Aisha walked over and patted her on the shoulder knowingly, while Dante could only sigh internally. It wouldn't work between him and Slessor even if he wanted it to because it would just be an attraction of the body, not the soul.

Anything Slessor could do sexually for him, Beatrice could already do and do better, plus he cherished everything about her from head to toe. There was no need to seek any external pleasure from outside.

Otherwise, Aisha, whose body was similar to Valeria's in terms of being his type, would have long been devoured by him.
