Devoured Eccentric - 42 Natural Selection X

A feeling of haziness assaulted Nero, spreading so fast that Nova’s alert sounded inaudibly distant.

The drug spread extremely quick through the bloodstream, almost instantly affecting Nero’s mind, too fast for Nova to put up any sort of preventive measure to keep Nero awake.

With a loud Thud, Nero’s body fell to the ground. The canvas slipped out of his hands, soundlessly caught by the girl behind.

‘WHAT? Whaaa-‘ These were Nero’s last thoughts. It was lights out for him.

‘AHHHH Stop! Not this again!’ Nero’s mind suddenly jerked awake.

The feeling he currently had was eerily similar to when he had first woken up on Rosaria.

‘…This is… I’m in REM state again? How? I can’t remember…’ Nero’s mind was empty, a slight sense of panic filled his heart.

‘Nova? System, show me the log for alerts.’

Suddenly, in the empty void of darkness, a long sheet filled with red appeared.

There were many red columns with portions of text on the side. They read:

‘Alert: The user has been injected with an unknown sedative. Extracting a portion to run tests and finding pathogens to breakdown the unknown substance.

‘Alert: The user’s brain has completely shut down, performing methods to jumpstart thought creation.

‘Alert: To successfully increase chances of finding a pathogen, program – ‘Nova’ has been frozen to free up processing ability.

‘Alert: The user’s body has been temporarily paralysed, to awaken, it needs the user’s permission to send electric pulses throughout the body. The process will result in nervous system ruptures on a small scale, without this, there is no possible way to awaken the body without external help. The process will also bring forth extremely powerful feedback to the brain, resulting in extreme pains equivalent to burning in fire after the system uses its suppression algorithm.

‘Alert: The user’s brain needs to be electrocuted to jumpstart. Performing function.

¬End of Log

‘WHAT? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? System, send me the last recorded files NOW!’ A foreboding sense filled Nero’s mind.

‘It’s ok, I’m alive. I’m okay.’ Supporting himself, Nero calmed down quickly, his subconscious began meditation once more.

once again, in the abysmal void, a screen appeared. A video showing Nero from his perspective came up.

In it, Nero was happily walking out from one of the rooms in the suites, when, from his blind spot, a figure flickered, jamming a small pen-sized needle into his jugular.

Nero’s head flicked towards the figure, only to see for a moment, the empty expression on Felicia’s face.

The video ended the moment Nero’s body hit the ground.

Immediately, as he recalled, Nero’s black mind turned blood red.

Anger. Mass amounts of raw anger quaked Nero completely, his previous sense of calm was replaced with inexplicable fury.

Though he didn’t know the reasoning behind Felicia’s actions, he couldn’t help but feel an impulse to rip her apart to shreds.

‘Why? No, I don’t care why… If I get a chance to kill her, I will.’ Nero made up his mind, once again achieving a state of serenity.

He had learnt a vital lesson from this, to trust nobody, absolutely nobody.

‘Hahaha! I understand! I need to be able to do anything to achieve my goal, it doesn’t matter if I had to kill the King or Cyl or Anyone! I need to be unstoppable, I need to be a menace…

‘I need to be a monster.’

Nothing could explain to Nero why he was backstabbed by somebody he put some amount of trust in, the whirl of questions in Nero’s mind only brought him one conclusion, this.

This experience brought Nero the need for re-evaluation, of his situation and his position in his situation.

‘In a situation, I will do everything I can to survive… Everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, to live on, to become the Greatest, the Absolute, I will do everything.’

‘With that done, let’s wake up shall we?’

With a single thought of command, Nero’s mind sent explosively strong signals to every signal nerve ending on Nero’s body.

However, from the outside, there was not a single motion from Nero’s body, all of it became suppressed by the strong unknown sedative.

Then, the rebounded feedback hit.

Both Nero’s brain and Nero’s body were shocked with electric pulses strong enough to paralyse most people.

This came from Nero’s command to the system. The AI ship could store energy from even 1-degree kelvin to continue functioning, the amount of energy it could store was about a few kilo-joules.

That, turned to electric pulses, was more than enough to completely overwhelm Nero’s sense of being with untamed Pain.

In an instant, the whole of Nero came alive, although it now had some blown Nerve-endings and a mind complete with raw pain.

‘AAAAAAAAAGHHH… Feels good to be alive.’

Nero was completely alert, he looked at his surroundings, finding out that he was in a moving carriage with nobody in the back with him.

‘Current time: 4:32 AM. The user has been unconscious for over 6 hours.’

Nero had made no sound since his awakening, the people in front who were divided by a wall had no clue that the boy who was sedated with one of the strongest substances was awake after a good refreshing sleep.

Nero didn’t hold back, with a command, he removed all the restrictions he had placed on himself and, with his aura, absolutely overwhelmed the two Hunters and mortal sitting ahead while slicing past the wooden barrier to have a chat.

Removing the barrier, he saw the figures of the two men and a small girl sitting in front with their heads tilted back, completely unable to move.

Because of their restrictions, it took a long while for their faces to turn into those of horror and shock.

Nero made the decision to immediately destroy the two Hunter’s brains by injecting mana into their ears and crushing their brain stem. Their figures lost balance the moment he commanded mana his mana.

He did this because of the mortal girl in front of him, Felicia.

Her gaze was stuck looking into Nero’s dead black eyes, the sense of fear overwhelming her urinary bowel completely.

“Speak.” Nero gave one command, applying a part of his aura directly onto Felicia’s brain. Immediately, his intent to dominate was applied onto Felicia, it was hard to make out what she said because of how much she was stuttering.

“The Queen wanted you… she said she saw through your little trick.” She said, full of fear.

“Alright, that’s enough. Where are we?”

“We’re driving around the capital to wipe our traces. Right now, we’re 4 miles from the palace.” This was what Nero could make out from her speech.

Nero analysed all that she said, then grabbed her by the throat and squeezed hard.

“Goodbye.” Was the last word Felicia heard before her neck was ripped off.
