Endless Journey: Infinite Realms Chapter 60 Monster Birth Program

Chapter 60 Monster Birth Program

"That is…" Alex could not find the right words to say as he felt horrified from what Alina said. "So messed up."
These little monsters in front of him were humans before? If Alina did not say that, Alex probably would not have believed it.
Upon hearing what Alex just said, some of the little monsters near her started to cry, as if what Alex said directly affected them.
"Don't cry, don't cry, ok?" Alina had to use both of her hands to calm the little monsters down as she gave another glare at Alex.
"When can you watch your words?"
"Ah sorry!" Alex said as he profusely apologized at Alina and the little monsters.
It took a minute to calm the little monsters down, and even then they still looked pretty shaken.
Alina did not stop glaring Alex during this time, just to make sure that he felt guilty on what he did.
"I don't think we should ask these kids on what had happened to them." Alex commented as he watched the wary and scared expression of the little monsters. "I think it would not be good to personally ask them that."
"That is my opinion too." Alina said as she continued hugging No. 4.
"Um Big Sis… are you here to help us?" Even though No. 4 was made up of insects, she was still able to speak by layering countless humming sounds from her insects. "We are so hungry and scared…"
The way No. 4 spoke was creepy to Alex, but he did not point that out, as he had the feeling that No. 4 was a little human girl before. And with Alina leveling him with her constant glare, Alex naturally had no courage to say anything.
"Of course Big Sis will help you." Alina soothingly said as he patted the heads of the little monsters. "So, just trust in me, okay?"
"Ok!!" All of the little monsters looked happy with what Alina said, except for No. 1. He still looked somewhat wary and suspicious of Ailna, although he still treated her with less hostility compared to Alex.
"Ugh… why do I get to wear this scary-ass tentacle face?" Alex lamented as he saw the difference of the treatment between him and Alina. "Now I can't get to know these kids better…."
***********************
Alina and Alex stayed in their place for another 30 minutes with Alex explaining to Alina his encounter with the giant boar and the information that it gave to him.
Alina also used this time to talk more and more to the little monsters, with the poor Alex was ignored in the sidelines.
During this time, Alina and the little monsters were able to grow closer, as the little monsters began to treat Alina like a family.
Naturally, this had Alex jealous.
Fortunately for Alex, he already had someone that he can channel his anger to.
"Great One, I am back!" The giant boar enthusiastically greeted Alex, with its back full of the food and honey that Alex asked it to get.
The face of the boar looked extremely submissive as it gave Alex a worshipping look that Alex did not like at all.
"About d**n time that you came back." Alex snapped, as he decided to pour his frustrations on the boar. "Were you always this slow? F**k, even my grandma can outrun you!"
"Apologies!" The boar supplicated, as it bowed down in front of Alex. "If I displeased you Great One, then you are free to punish me!"
Alex, who found this as a chance to let off some steam, had to pause as he saw Alina giving the boar a curious look.
"Alex, is this the giant boar that you are talking about?"
"Oh." Before Alex could say anything, the boar heard what Alina said.
"Eeeek…" The giant boar let out a squeal of fear as it saw Alina looking at it.
From the looks of it, the giant boar must have already realized what Alina was.
"Oh, Fair One, forgive me for not noticing you!" The giant boar said as it began to bow in front of Alina.
"I forgive your transgressions, puny one." Shockingly, Alina seemed to have changed her character as she talked to the giant boar. "My concubine must have greatly tired you out."
"Concubine?" The boar tilted its head as it tried to analyze what Alina said. After a second, the boar's eyes widened as it realized what Alina meant. "Fine One, do you mean that you and the Great One are…"
"Yes, this tentacled monstrosity is my lovely concubine." Alina said as she licked her red lips.
"D**n, that's sexy." Alex thought to himself as he and the other little monsters did not try to point out Alina's current behavior.
"Uh, congratulations?" The giant boar was also confused on what Alina was doing, as it found hard to imagine how could someone like Alina could pair with a hideous creature like Alex.
"You seem to be doubting my words, puny one." Alina commented drily as she saw the doubt on the boar's face. "Do you know that anyone who doubts the words of this Queen all gets skewered in the grill?"
"Eek!!!" Needless to say, the boar was scared silly of what Alina said, as it saw Alina's slightly hungry gaze towards it.
"What do you think puny one?"
"Oh, she is so hungry..." Alex thought to himself as he saw Alina drooling like crazy.
Even if she had been transformed into a Vampire Queen, Alina did not get the innate need to drink blood, as from what Asteria said, a Vampire Queen was a high-ranked vampire that does not need to drink blood.
Because of that, Alina retained or even increased her already gluttonous appetite.
At that point, Alex decided to step in as he realized that the boar must not be killed, for now.
Alex let out a cough, which sounded slimy because of his current body.
"My Queen, I think you should not kill this cute little boar first." Alex said as he decided to roleplay with Alina. "I still have some questions for this boar, and I wanted it answered right now."
"Ara ara, I know that look on your face, my lowly concubine." Alina said as she immediately realized what Alex was planning to do. "You really look out for me!"
"Of course, everything is for you, My Queen." At this point, Alex and Alina were already able to establish their alibi for what Alex was about to ask next.
Now, Alex only needed to execute it well in order to not arouse any suspicion.
Alex looked at the boar intently, with his tentacles swaying slowly.
"My Queen and I… wanted to have some kids already." Alex said as he made his FED Manipulation radiate sadness.
It hit the giant boar at full force, which made it started to feel sad and sympathetic for Alex.
"But as you can see, the laws of our very nature are not allowing us to procreate!" Alex exclaimed as he shook his tentacles to show his anger.
Alex's acting was so convincing that it managed to move the giant boar's feelings.
"I can understand your pain, Great One." The boar commented as he watched Alex's anger. "I had a human woman with me before, but no matter what I do with her, she just won't give me a child. Its such a waste that I have to kill her after she tried to escape from me."
"!!!" Alex had to gulp as he looked at Alina, who began to look at the boar with the most intense killing intent that he had seen in his life.
There is no way that Alina will not be angry.
After all, this boar just casually talked about it kidnapping a woman and forcing it to procreate with it!
And the way that the boar said this made it sound like it was just out looking for food or something!
"You are so dead right now…" Alex thought to himself as he looked at the boar with derision.
At first, Alex thought that he could keep the boar as his pet or mount. After all, he found that the boar was a little pleasing to look at.
But after hearing what the boar said about its past exploits with women, Alex knew that there is no way that he and Alina will let the boar survive.
Because they were currently interrogating the boar, Alex knew that Alina will not attack the boar immediately.
But Alex was sure that once the boar had given him what they wanted, Alina will surely swoop in to kill the boar.
"I do not care what you do in your past. What I want to know is your opinion on something that we want." Alex said as he and Alina tried to not show their desire to just kill the boar in front of them.
The poor oblivious boar did not see its doomed fate as it enthusiastically said,
"I will do my best to answer your query, Great One."
"Where can I get little monsters like them?" Alex said as he pointed his fingers at the little monsters gathered around Alina. "My Queen liked them, so she will adopt them as her children. However, my Queen wanted to get more little monsters like them, so I want to know where we can get more of them."
"This…" The boar hesitated as it looked at the little monsters with trepidation and jealousy. "Are you sure that you want to get these weaklings, Great One? You can just adopt stronger monsters compared to them!"
"What we get is obviously not of your opinion." Alex said as he gave the boar a dark look. "If you do not want to anger me, then you should know how to answer my question correctly."
"Eeek!!!" At this point, Alina and Alex showed a little of their killing intent, just to make the boar behave.
"It's the Monster Birth Program!" The boar said as it started to spill out its beans.
Both Alex and Alina listened carefully as they knew that they already got what they wanted.
"The Queen Mother wanted to get more monsters to strengthen her forces." The boar said as it made itself look as submissive as possible. "But because the reproductive rate of us monsters are much lower compared to humans, our Queen Mother decided to just create monsters out of the existing humans."
"!!!" Alex and Alina tried to not show the horror in their faces as they continued on listening.
"One of Queen Mother's Generals was able to create a rare and expensive formula that facilitates this transformation from human to monster. This formula was regularly used to force some humans to turn into monsters. Of course the targeted humans are those at the edge of human territory, as they are the least guarded ones."
"What happens next after these humans became monsters?" Alex asked as Alina tried to calm down the scared little monsters.
"If they are strong, they will be taken by the Generals to bolster our forces." The boar replied quickly. "If they are weak, then they will be left behind."
The boar then looked at the little monsters huddled around Alina with a sneer on its face. "That five little monsters with us? They were the latest humans that were turned into monsters, just 5 days ago. They were left behind because they were deemed weak by the Shadow General!"
"…"
Alex took a deep breath to calm himself down as he gave the little monsters a pitying look.
Even if Alex was a neutral person, he can understand the suffering that these little monsters have gone through. What happened to them was just unfair and unjust.
While thinking of that, Alex suddenly paused as he remembered what his Main Mission was.
[SAVE THE CHILDREN]
"Does that mean that I have to save these kids? But how?" Alex thought to himself as he looked at the little monsters with trepidation.
"Is there a way to reverse what happened to these little monsters? It was Alina who asked this question, but she made it sound more like a death sentence rather than a question.
The boar seemed to have not noticed this as it cheerfully replied,
"I do not know, Fair One. Information like that are extremely classified!"
"Is that so… Then that means we have no use for you anymore." This time, Alina did not hold her killing intent back as she and Alex and ambled towards the boar. "It's time for you to die!"
"Squee!!!" The giant boar was unable to say anything more as a tentacle and a sword entered its eyes, effectively destroying its brain.
"Tsk, f**king scum." Alina rarely cursed, but when she did, she made sure that it was worth it.
