Chapter 312: Taboo Physique

A few days ago at Whiteburn manor when I was experimenting with calamity daughter core and my slave consciousness I discovered that I could create perfect clones of myself by moving the slave consciousness into the calamity daughter core. In this process of creating perfect clones, I formed a new type of calamity daughter core, Avatar calamity daughter core. At present, I have a total of three slave consciousnesses so currently, I can create 3 perfect clones of myself.

During further study into these clones, I discovered that they all had the same active soul control as me. Since these clones are perfect replicas of me with equivalent active soul control I thought of a crazy idea that is to have each of my clones contract their individual and personal grimoire. Unfortunately, they could not contract a separate grimoire like the original self. But they could share the grimoire of the original self.

No matter how perfect these clones were they all did not have individual souls. The clones were created by moving the slave consciousness into the calamity daughter cores from my mutated soul using Hive AI. Yes despite four consciousness there was only one mutated soul formed by combining 4 individual souls. And one soul can only contract one grimoire.

But I did not give up there and still experimented further to see if the clones could contract grimoire. My persistence paid off and I managed to get the clones to contract their grimoire but there was one huge limitation, that is they all did not have their individual active soul control stars but would share my active soul control stars. That is if I have 60 active soul control stars then all 4 of us including the 3 clones and me will be using 60 active soul control stars altogether instead of 60 active soul control stars each.

With such a huge drawback my idea of equipping my clones with grimoire came to an end. Having experimented with clones enough I was caught in a new situation, what to do with these clones? Where to store them? They were perfect clones created using calamity daughter core. They were living beings with no soul meaning they were permanent clones unlike the temporary ones made by third rate cards.

Unlike my current Calamity Soul Gem, Calamity Soul Core could not turn its calamity daughter core into cards. What do I do with these permanent clones? Do I just extract the slave conscious and the calamity daughter core? Won’t that mean I would be killing them?

Bracing myself I tried absorbing the calamity soul core from the clones even if it meant that I would be killing them as I could not just travel around with them. Now that would raise a whole new set of problems for me. So I decided to absorb back the calamity soul cores from the clones.

As I began absorbing the calamity soul cores from the clones my grimoire sounded with a notification,

[Attention: Mutated souls can absorb the slave consciousness and their new bodies. Will the host allow the Mutated soul to absorb the avatar calamity daughter cores C1, C2, C3?

(Allow/Decline)

Warning: Once the absorbing process is commenced it cannot be stopped midway. Stopping midway will cause serious damage to the host’s physique.]

[Allow] Since there is a better way to hide the clones than killing them I jumped to it without a second thought.

[Mutated Soul absorbing avatar calamity daughter cores C1(Copy1)…]

With the commencement of the absorption process, I felt an excruciating pain run throughout my body. I barely managed to keep my consciousness awake despite the agonising pain which pushed me to the edge of fainting unable to bear the burden of the pain. But still, I was able to gather my thoughts enough to mentally instruct the Hive AI,

‘Hive AI, quick dampen my pain receptors before I go crazy’

[Dampening host’s pain receptors]

Finally getting rid of the pain I felt a presence on my shoulder. When I turned to see what was the presence I felt on my shoulder I saw a deformed mass of meat growing out of my shoulder. Soon the deformed mass of meat turned into a head looking exactly like me. And I finally understood why the mutated soul was able to absorb the slave conscious with their new physical bodies.

Fuq, it was turning me into a mutant freak like the twin-headed ogre or the three-headed Cerberus. I wanted to stop the absorbing process midway but remembered the warning of the notification earlier than stopping midway will cause serious damage to my physique. So I had no choice but to carry on with the absorption process. And wait to find the solution later. I do not know why the grimoire notification called this an absorption process. To me, it felt more like a fusion process.

[Absorbing avatar calamity daughter cores C1(Copy1) complete]

[Mutated Soul absorbing avatar calamity daughter cores C2(Copy2)…]

[Absorbing avatar calamity daughter cores C2(Copy2) complete]

[Mutated Soul absorbing avatar calamity daughter cores C3(Copy3)…]

[Absorbing avatar calamity daughter cores C3(Copy3) complete]

Once the mutated soul was done absorbing all three clones C1 C2 and C3. I had 3 extra heads on my shoulder. My head started to feel crowded on my very own shoulder. I was having a headache as this was worse than the problem I was trying to solve. Once the solution is worse than the problem one has to know he/she is screwed.

I remember specifically taking many measures to make sure that this would not happen when I was mutating my soul. When aligning the soul pathways of the mutated soul I made sure that I would only get second consciousness and not a second head. This was one of the reasons I had the extra consciousness enslaved so that they do not try to mutate my body along with my soul. Yet I somehow end up with what I was avoiding.

Just when I gave up all hope my grimoire sounded with a new notification rising a new hope in me,

[Gigamite, a taboo mutation of Viltronian physique detected, would you like to evolve viltronian physique to Gigamite taboo physique?

(Yes/No)

Warning: Stopping evolution midway can lead to the host’s death. ]

(Yes) finding no other way out of my current predicament I had no other choice but to take my chances with the evolution of the viltronian physique. This time the warning notification was more severe than the previous warning. Still, I proceeded with the evolution of the viltronian physique as right now I was a desperate man and Gigamite taboo physique was my only fastest hope. I read the word taboo loud and clear but what can be more taboo than having four heads on one body.
