Steel steam and flame

Through the transmission channel established by the dragons with Cassia, almost 100% pure substance was sent crazily into Cassia's blood vessels. After the blood was contaminated with these substances, it instantly exploded and boiled in the blood vessels. This is no longer a simple feeling simulated on the cerebral cortex, but an electrical signal transmitted uniformly from various nerves throughout the body. The blood was like boiling water, rushing through the blood vessels at a speed Cassia had never experienced before, like a group of horses trampling the grassland, and the tough blood vessels were in danger of being unable to withstand it.

These are all perfectly evolved substances, the most basic and important things in the empire's operation, and Cassia will not sense them wrong. And the huge devouring feeling rising in his body at this moment also confirmed his idea.

The muscle tissue is strengthened first, making the fiber bundles stronger. Next is the bone, which is harder and more flexible. They were completely filled in a long time ago and are no longer a hollow network structure. Of course, it can't be as hard as Franli, so hard that even blue and silver bullets can't penetrate it, but with its current strength, it's still a fraction of the strength of steel.

Then there are the organs in the body, whose functions and ability to resist damage are enhanced, although in Cassia's eyes, they are still generally fragile.

Finally, there is the dragon tissue implanted in Cassia's body. They were already rioting and now they are becoming even crazier. They long for liberation, and that hungry devouring feeling is fed back to Cassia from them.

This feeling stimulated Cassia to recall what Sucarius said in the dream as a condition for saving him in the future. When he taught Cassia to freely activate the rejection reaction in the body and swallow the substances in the tranquilizer, what he said about In the words of dragons.

"The evolution and survival of our dragons is very cruel. We can gain strength and growth by devouring our own kind, and we have ways to devour the perfectly evolved materials of other kind to increase our own strength." Cassia still retains comparisons in her brain I have a clear impression that Sukarius stated these words through the radio on the analysis machine.

For some reason, Cassia suddenly felt inexplicable joy in her heart, which was caused by happiness that she didn't know the reason for. Even though his face was now tightly surrounded by circles and layers of tree-root-like muscles and nerve bundles, there was still a hidden smile on it.

The nerve bundles that the dragons invaded Cassia's body have taken over most of the organs, and now more sophisticated nerves are invading his brain. For him, Cassia, who was completely unable to struggle under the entanglement, completely became his prey, and there was no possibility of resisting or breaking free.

But this situation changed in an instant. An inexplicable and extremely familiar smell arose from the prey he swallowed. It seemed to be the same kind. After an unknown period of time, he met the same kind again and had undergone some changes.

The nerve bundles and root-like muscles that invaded the prey's body lost contact with the dragon's remaining consciousness in the blink of an eye. Then there are the tissues that wrap the prey, and the information fed back from them every moment is also decreasing sharply in a staircase-like manner in the blink of an eye. By the time the dragons immediately took corresponding measures to deal with it, the nerves and muscles wrapped around the prey had completely lost control. It felt like a piece of its complete body had been lost in a short period of time, and the range continued to expand. But there was no pain as it should have been. It was not the feeling of being physically removed with a sharp instrument. After a short period of judgment, the dragon finally remembered that this was encroachment, and that the same kind had long been accustomed to devouring each other.

It wants to immediately cut off the connection with its prey, as well as those channels that are transporting perfectly evolved materials. However, the order was not executed after it was issued. In a short period of time, the sensations in various parts of the body were rapidly weakening. That was a sign of invasion. There were nerve bundles growing in the opposite direction along the existing nerves in the dragon's body, and beginning to fit into the muscles that drove the movement of this huge body.

All the defense lines in the body have completely lost their role as obstacles, and the "consciousness" that still exists cannot completely clean up this intrusion.

"You...can't..." The dragon was furious. When those reverse nerve bundles grew at an alarming speed, the nerves that drove it were like a rope of grass, twisted together with the nerves that grew in the opposite direction. , in an attempt to prevent their spread. The nerves fused together in a short period of time, and electrical signals were transmitted along the pathways.

The information represented by the electrical signal reached Cassia's head, but he ignored it and did not answer. He just wanted to open his eyes now, but the eyelids seemed to have merged with the eyelids, and there was only darkness in his eyes. I vomited out all the food I had eaten at the party that was still in my stomach. His head was swollen and painful, and the things inside were swelling, as if a seed had sprouted inside, and now it was about to burst through his skull and grow. He felt like his body was torn into several pieces and the pain was unbearable.

He thought that he was now a tree stump without branches and leaves, and nerve bundles like dense tree roots sprouted from everywhere on his body. They followed the channels established by the dragons themselves and began to invade the dragons' bodies. Go into the body.

As early as when he knew that the devouring method was completely effective, Cassia pulled out the other eight inhibitory tubes in his body from the already punctured large area of ​​skin. Energy became shared at this time because of the connection channel. The dragon tissue became violent with the perfect evolutionary material and sufficient energy, and to Cassia's expectation, those implanted in the body during the second operation Replacement of nerve tissue also showed surprising activity at this time. The nerve bundles that invade and spread throughout the dragon's body grow and differentiate from these nerves.

A large amount of messages came from the nerves, and Cassia's brain became overloaded after a short period of time. Just relying on his current thinking speed, he couldn't keep up with such a behemoth that was nearly twenty meters long. In this body, too much information is generated at every moment. Perhaps only a difference engine or an analysis engine can handle such complicated work.

Her head was about to explode, and Cassia could only endure it. He continued to make the final expansion. According to the memory, the nerve bundles spread through the dragon's body, surrounding the spine towards the core.

As he expected, the nerve bundles that spread over lost all contact when they approached the spine. They were devoured and eroded by dragons. The situation there is the same as the situation around Cassia. It is like a corner of the darkness illuminated by light. No matter how the darkness surges like a tide, it cannot invade any place where the light spills out. His head could no longer bear any greater load, and the expansion of the nerve bundles had completely stopped in place.

Just when Cassia thought the situation would remain deadlocked like this and last for a while. He felt that his body was merging with something. His perception dispersed, and he saw a scene that made him feel horrified. The nerve bundles he had just grown in reverse direction and the dragon's nerves were intertwined with each other. Now they melted and fused together to form a complete nerve.

While he was amazed at this change, the darkness in front of Cassia's eyes began to flicker, like a mercury lamp that was about to go out in the room, and blurry lights and images appeared inside.
