Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

"Want to save your father?"

Under the stark white light, a slime floated in front of a little girl with a human head and an insect's body. Below the little girl, a man with a face similar to hers was lying there, his body completely enveloped by the insect's viscous form. Blood-red, fleshy tentacles gently caressed his wounds, as if to alleviate his pain.

"Save my father?"

The little girl raised her head, looking at Lu Minghao, who was close at hand. Her tender face was filled with unconcealed fear. Although she was less than eight years old, even after being modified, she could clearly distinguish that it was the slime and the young woman in front of her who had turned her father into what he was now.

Although she was still afraid of Lu Minghao and Sally, when the little girl heard Lu Minghao say he could save her father, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. She looked at Lu Minghao with her little mouth slightly open, and finally nodded.

Although she was very afraid of Lu Minghao and Sally, she was even more afraid of her father dying.

"Very good."

After Lu Minghao received the little girl's answer, his body moved lightly, landing beside the little girl and Arnold. Looking at Arnold, who was barely clinging to life, a strange smile appeared on Lu Minghao's round body.

Didn't he want to transform Sally into the perfect 'Mother Nest,' even at the cost of modifying his own daughter?

Then Lu Minghao would fulfill his wish and let him become the existence he dreamed of.

"Gluttony Sin, the power of Gluttony."

As soon as Lu Minghao's words fell, the passive 'Gluttony Sin,' which had been turned off, was activated. An unusual energy field instantly filled the entire basement. The dead experimental subjects, the walls, the floor, the tables, chairs, and even the lights began to become strange.

One of Lu Minghao's arms appeared above the little girl's head at some point. Under the modification of the power of Gluttony, the little girl's head gradually fell into a deep sleep, but her insect-like body revealed a hideous side under the infection of the sin of Gluttony.

The slender tentacles began to twist continuously, and large mouths full of fangs appeared. The first to suffer was Arnold, who was completely wrapped in them. In less than a minute, Arnold was completely devoured, leaving only a complete head fused into one of the insect's tentacles.

It looked as if a head had grown out of a tentacle covered in fanged maws. Arnold's originally closed eyes slowly opened, and his eyes revealed a dazed look as he surveyed his surroundings. At this moment, his memory was still stuck on the moment when Lu Minghao had pierced his chest with a shadow spear.

"This... what is this?"

The next second, Arnold, who had just clearly seen his surroundings, was stunned. Everything in front of him was so familiar yet so strange. Whether it was the ground or the corpses of the experimental subjects, they were all wriggling and devouring everything around them as if they had come to life.

Even his experimental table seemed to have come to life. The originally cold, iron table now had a large amount of flesh growing on it.

"It seems that after I became a Demon Lord Seed, the [Gluttony] talent has been strengthened."

Suddenly, Lu Minghao's calm voice rang in Arnold's ears. At this moment, Lu Minghao was floating beside Arnold, carefully observing all the changes in the laboratory. If the last time he activated the sin of Gluttony, it only changed living things.

Then at this time, the sin of Gluttony could even change and infect inanimate stones, iron blocks, and even the wood used to make chairs. Moreover, Lu Minghao had a premonition that when he became a Demon Lord Seed, the [Gluttony] talent would become even stronger. Perhaps by then, even things like air and light could be infected.

"Demon Lord Seed... How is that possible? A mere slime is actually a Demon Lord Seed!"

Hearing Lu Minghao's soliloquy, Arnold turned his head and stared blankly at Lu Minghao, who was floating in mid-air, his eyes full of fear and disbelief. How could a mere slime be a Demon Lord Seed? This was impossible!

You must know that he, the strongest magician of the Yst Kingdom, was only a high-ranking magician. How could a mere slime become a Demon Lord Seed comparable to a human hero?

"That's right, it's just a mere slime. So, how does this strongest magician of the Yst Kingdom feel about your new body?"

Lu Minghao turned his head to look at Arnold. Lu Minghao had deliberately allowed Arnold to maintain his rationality and wisdom. Didn't he want the perfect 'Mother Nest?'

Then Lu Minghao would let him watch himself turn into a monster, and a monster whose body was not his own, only the head could move. The current Arnold was like a parasite, except that he could only parasitize on this body and had no control at all.

He would forever only be an existence that could see, speak, but not move, until he lost his mind and went completely insane in the long course of time.

It was like a human soul being stuffed into a tree, able to see and sense but unable to move, forever trapped in the tree. This was simply unacceptable to Arnold.

"This is my 'gift' to you. Be grateful to me."

Lu Minghao silently smiled as he watched Arnold's eyes gradually sink into despair. Lu Minghao had no so-called hatred for Arnold. From beginning to end, it was only because he had designs on Sally. As for Arnold's daughter, Lu Minghao had never thought about avenging her or anything like that.

After all, the two sides were enemies. Treating Arnold like this was only because he was displeased with him. Even the current Lu Minghao would be displeased with Arnold's actions. As for sympathizing with the enemy, Lu Minghao was not so brainless as to have such an idea. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"Minghao, what should we do with her?"

At this time, Sally pointed to the top of the constantly expanding flesh, where the little girl was fast asleep with her eyes tightly closed.

"Her... she is no longer who she used to be..."

Lu Minghao raised his head to look at the sleeping little girl above, and after a few seconds of silence, he said something that Sally completely did not understand. Lu Minghao did not explain too much about this, and she would understand in the future.
