They both appeared inside the hall once again. The light emitted from the walls around them was enough to see the hall clearly.
"Come on, show me"
"System" he willed the system to hand him over the artifact from the system storage. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity. A small light emerged above his hand before transforming itself into a silver oval-shaped object. Although from the outside it looked like an ordinary thing, she could feel an immense amount of energy pulsating from within.
"Is that an egg?" she reached out to touch the artifact in his hand. The thing in his hand wasn't what he expected. At first, it was a black orb and now it just changed its color to silver.
Crack!
Just as Gaya's hand touched the surface of the thing, cracks began to form on its surface.
"It is an egg" Michael confirmed his suspicion, sensing a heartbeat from the thing.
"Ah!"
Suddenly Gaya squealed. He was stunned by her sudden unexpected reaction. Before he could ask her why he too felt intense pain all over his body. It felt like his soul itself screaming in pain for a second. The pain quickly vanished as he saw a tiny head rising from the egg. Soon, another tiny head rose from the egg. They were stunned to see two tiny heads but to their surprise, another head rose. Under their bewildered gazes, the tiny beast completely broke out of the shell. Another shock hit their core as they were not three beasts but the three heads shared one body.
The hand-sized beast shockingly resembled a beast on earth. Not a real living beast but a beast he saw in movies, King Ghidorah. The only different factor was the color of its scales and the eyes. Each head was covered in different color scales. The head in the center had shiny cloud silver scales while one head in the right had pure white scales and the left one had black scales. The head in the center stared at Michael and Gaya with its rather round eyes that somewhat made the beast look cute.
"Give me something to eat, jerk" the white head spoke in a feminine voice to break them out from their daze. The white head sounded like the child version of Gaya.
"Huh?" she was too stunned to get back at the white head.
"They are in a trauma state because this might be the first time they have seen our kind. I cannot find any references to our species in their memories" Michael saw the silver head speak in a calm voice. The blackhead however remained silent. it stared at the hall like it was surveying the surrounding.
"System, what kind of beast is this?"
[It's one of the rarest beings in the universe, a three-headed hydra. The system lacks the necessary information to find how the three-headed hydra egg ended up in this world but the egg has been in a hibernation state for over three thousand years]
"Over three thousand years? Wow"
[The system also found that the three-headed hydra emits the same frequency of energy that has been sucking the Arch energy in the Southern Continent hence the void area]
"Do you think there might be another Hydra sleeping beneath the Southern Continent?"
[Yes the system has already informed the host about the extraterrestrial being consuming the Arch energy. Now it seems like the extraterrestrial being is a Hydra]
He remembered the system's words. It also warned him not to go search for the being until he reached the Immortal Stage.
"Jerk? No, the word is bitch, yeah bitch...Give me something to eat bitch" the white head knarred its teeth at Gaya. She finally came back to her senses.
"Who do you calling bitch, you tiny fuck, I will rip your head off" she flicked the hydra's white head.
"Please stop" the silver head pleaded with both of them but the white head already moved itself to take a bite out of her hand. Fortunately, the neck was not long enough for the white head to get to her hand.
"You don't seem like a normal human in your memories" the blackhead finally opened its mouth, questioning Michael.
"Did you read our memories?"
Michael creased his brows. If the Hydra read his memories, it would know about his previous life on earth. This was too early to trust this beast with his previous life. Until now, only Gaya knew about his origin and he would like to keep it that way.
Luckily blackhead hydra shook its head,
"We didn't read your memoirs but learned the necessary information and skills such as the language, the species in this world, etc"
"System?" He called out the system to check whether it's true or not.
[The system reassures the host that the hydra cannot read one's memories. It could only absorb certain knowledge from the being it first touches after its hatches. In this case, the hydra touched both you and Gaya, so it absorbed the knowledge necessary for its survival from your brains and also...]
The system's voice trailed away,
