Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

In the dim and foul-smelling sewers, several Hobgoblins were swaggering forward, carrying bone clubs. Their green skin and sturdy muscles indicated that they were living quite well in this sewer.

Indeed, in this sewer, as low-level monsters, they could be considered the strongest. As for the stronger ones, they had long left the sewers and gone to Karando, the capital of the Edolas Kingdom on the surface.

After all, this was a kingdom of monsters, completely different from the human world. There were no human adventurers to regularly clean up the monsters in the sewers, which led to a large number of monsters living in the sewers. Sometimes, even low-level monsters from the surface would enter the sewers.

In other words, it was normal to encounter any low-level or inferior monsters in these sewers. For example, the biggest enemy of the Hobgoblin tribe was the Fang Wolf tribe, located five passages away from this sewer.

“What's going on with those damned Fang Wolves today?”

Suddenly, a one-eyed Hobgoblin stopped, his face full of doubt as he looked around. In the past, during their training, they should have already encountered the Fang Wolves who were also training, but today they didn't see any sign of them, and everything around them was eerily quiet.

“Could it be that those dog bastards overslept today? Hahaha!”

The other Hobgoblin on the side laughed carelessly. Rather than worrying about why the Fang Wolves didn't show up today, he wanted to finish the patrol quickly and return to the village to discuss the great plan of racial reproduction with the Hobgoblin beauties.

“Wait! What's that sound!”

At that moment, another Hobgoblin, who had been silent, interrupted the conversation of the two Hobgoblins behind him. His scarred face showed a solemn expression as his tall and sturdy body slowly crouched down, pressing his ear to the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment the Hobgoblin's ear touched the ground, a subtle vibration came from the distance, and it was constantly moving in this direction. The sound, which originally needed to be heard quietly on the ground, amplified rapidly in just a few seconds, and even the ground could be felt shaking clearly.

“Run... run!”

The next moment, a black shadow窜 emerged from the dark sewers ahead. The originally flowing and soft black fur was now covered in bloodstains. A closer look would reveal that this Fang Wolf was covered in wounds from being torn by fangs, and the flesh at the wounds was wriggling slightly, with strands of flesh sprouts growing from the wounds.

As this Fang Wolf moved, flesh sprouts kept falling from the wounds onto the ground. The sprouts that fell on the ground seemed to have self-awareness, wriggling their slender, scarlet bodies towards the three Hobgoblins.

“Fang Wolves, what exactly are you planning? And what is this thing?”

The Hobgoblin who was lying on the ground stood up, his face becoming more and more solemn as he looked at its scarred body. Then, he raised his foot and directly crushed the approaching flesh sprout. The moment the flesh sprout exploded, it let out a strange and shrill cry.

Instantly, the Fang Wolf on the opposite side, who had just opened its mouth to say something, fell to the ground and wailed in pain, its eyes full of bloodshot veins, and its entire body began to bulge constantly as if something was crawling under its skin.

Bang!

Suddenly, the Fang Wolf, who was wailing in pain, became motionless. Its bloodshot eyes were filled with despair and pain as it looked at the three Hobgoblins in front of it. The next moment, in the disgusting and horrified eyes of the three Hobgoblins, a large number of scarlet, maggot-like flesh sprouts poured out of the Fang Wolf's mouth, nose, eyes, and wounds.

“What the hell is this thing?”

The scarred Hobgoblin looked at the scene in front of him with a grim face. The Fang Wolf's desperate wails before death and the changes in its corpse after death were deeply engraved in its mind. And for some reason, as the Hobgoblin looked at the tide of flesh sprouts surging towards him, he felt the flesh under his skin begin to wriggle as well.

“It's so itchy.”

At this time, the Hobgoblin who spoke first on the side suddenly reached into his crotch and scratched a few times, then put it to his nose and smelled it. The familiar smell made him relax a little, but he didn't notice that several slender things wriggling their bodies fell from his body and were then submerged by the sewage in the sewer.

“What should we do? Should we go back and inform the chief now?”

The other Hobgoblin trembled as he approached, looking at the many flesh sprouts that were constantly crawling towards this place, feeling a chill down his spine. Rather than turning into this, he would rather have a few green tentacles growing on his body, which would be more beautiful and practical.

Actually... tentacles feel pretty good... but why didn't he realize this benefit before?

Pa!

Just as this Hobgoblin was still struggling with how many tentacles to grow and why he hadn't discovered the beauty of tentacles before, suddenly a white bone club slammed heavily in front of him, and several flesh sprouts that had just approached his feet were smashed to pieces.

“Don't let your guard down, something we don't know about must have happened in the sewers. Hurry back to the base and report this to the chief!”

The scarred Hobgoblin reprimanded his dazed teammate, then turned around and walked towards the base. The two Hobgoblins behind him nodded, took one last look at the flesh sprouts that were still constantly emerging from the Fang Wolf's body, shivered, and quickly followed.

As the three Goblin bosses left, only the rustling sound of the wriggling flesh remained in the dark tunnel. At this time, the corpse of the Fang Wolf clan had completely shriveled. Through the wound, one could clearly see that the flesh inside had completely disappeared, leaving only the bones and the outer fur.

Even as the flesh disappeared, the remaining bones and fur were being mutated by the bizarre, chaotic aura that permeated the entire sewer.

.....

In another direction of the sewer, the walls, once dark and covered with mud and moss, were now constantly pulsating. The entire tunnel was like the intestines of some creature, with large amounts of flesh growing on the stone floor, and even the mud was being animated into a dark, twisted monster.

In the area of the sewer most severely affected by this animation, three giant slimes were wriggling forward little by little. Wherever they passed, whether it was a monster still undergoing mutation or a Gluttony monster that had already completed its assimilation, anything that stood in their way would be submerged by dozens of tentacles, and then sent into their giant mouths to be devoured completely.

"Ming Hao, are we going to directly occupy this city?"

Sitting atop one of the giant slimes, Sally looked excitedly at the monsters below being stuffed into the slime's mouth by tentacles. Seeing such a scene, Sally didn't feel the slightest discomfort. If anything, she felt the blood and magic elements in her body begin to boil, and an inexplicable desire for destruction gradually rose from the depths of her heart.

"No, I want to see what that guy who calls himself the King of Monsters will do."

Lu Minghao reached out and gently stroked Sally's little head, soothing the destructive desire in her heart. Since Sally had completely awakened the Oni bloodline within her and mutated into a completely new race under the power of Gluttony, Lu Minghao had noticed that Sally would become inexplicably excited and agitated every time she fought or killed, becoming filled with a desire for destruction.

But strangely, this did not affect Sally's heart and mind. Even when the desire for destruction reached its peak, Sally's fighting style became even more calm. In the end, she was just a little more cruel to her enemies than usual.

According to Lu Minghao's speculation, this situation was either due to Sally's bloodline after evolving into a completely new race, or Sally was about to give birth to a completely new unique skill, but it was only in its early stages now.

"Ming Hao, are you talking about that strange uncle Sally met at the city gate, the Oni who calls himself the king of the Edras Kingdom?"

Sally lowered her head and looked at Lu Minghao in her arms. She didn't know what Lu Minghao was just thinking. She just tilted her head and looked at him curiously, not understanding why Lu Minghao would suddenly be interested in that Demon King-class Oni.

"I feel like he would be a good tool and subordinate."

Lu Minghao raised his head and glanced at Sally. When Edras appeared beside Sally earlier, Lu Minghao noticed his existence immediately. And when Edras confronted Sally afterward, Lu Minghao also carefully observed Edras. All in all, aside from the fact that his strength barely reached the Demon King-class, Edras could be considered a good tool.

He should be of great help to Lu Minghao's subsequent plans.

"Sally understands."

After hearing Lu Minghao's words, Sally nodded her little head as if she understood. In fact, she still didn't quite understand what Lu Minghao meant, but since Lu Minghao wanted to do it, Sally would accompany him in everything, no matter what it was.

"Huh."

A few minutes later, Sally, who was sitting on top of the giant slime and watching with great interest, suddenly showed a surprised expression, raised her head and looked at the sewer ahead that was still made of stone, and a hint of doubt appeared in her big eyes.

This was the first time in the past week that Sally had seen something that had retained its original appearance after being assimilated by Lu Minghao. Although a trace of bloody flesh still floated on the ground in the sewer ahead, it was already a very surprising thing for Sally.

You must know that when she and Lu Minghao were assimilating and transforming Gluttony monsters in other parts of the Edras Kingdom, everything around them would be completely changed within a few short minutes, but most of the sewer here still retains its original state.

"I did it on purpose."

Of course, Lu Minghao also noticed what Sally saw, but he did it on purpose. Otherwise, with Lu Minghao's current Demon King-class strength, as long as he was willing, the passive effect of the [Gluttony] talent could instantly envelop the entire sewer and the Karandu above.

However, in order to prevent the monsters of the Edras Kingdom from discovering the movement in the sewer in advance, and in order to observe Edras, Lu Minghao did not go all out, but restrained most of the power of the Gluttony sin.

He only assimilated a small part of the sewer with himself as the center. As for the rest of the sewer and the capital of the Edras Kingdom above, Lu Minghao only enveloped them with a thin layer of Gluttony sin.

Under such circumstances, the monsters and substances in the rest of the sewer and the city above would not be assimilated in a few short minutes, but would be slowly transformed and assimilated silently as time passed.

And in this process, the stronger the monster, the longer it can last... And this is also an experiment that Lu Minghao is conducting on the Gluttony sin. He still remembers the novels he had read before, in which there were many beings who could maintain their self-awareness even after their bodies were mutated under the assimilation of the indescribable.

At most, their personalities would change drastically.

And Lu Minghao is very curious about such beings. If they really appear, then Lu Minghao would not mind transforming them into a brand new subordinate. He just doesn't know what kind of brand new monster will be born from the sin of Gluttony and the power of Gluttony.

And what kind of surprises will such a monster bring him... Even, if such a technology matures, Lu Minghao can also try to bestow the sin of Gluttony upon Sally.
