EVOLUTION, DIVISION, PROPAGATION 

Since Güli-güli was nice enough to provide me with food supplies, I’ve decided to give evolving a shot. 

I’m still not sure if this wimpy body can handle evolution, but I’m just gonna trust that it’ll work out! 

So I begin the evolution as I chow down on the earth dragon corpses. 

As soon as the evolution starts, I can feel my SP decreasing at an alarming rate, so I speed up the task of stuffing earth dragon meat into my stomach. 

My SP is decreasing almost as fast as I can refill it with food. 

As I continue this little game of chicken, my body starts to change. 

By the time I’ve polished off several earth dragons, the changes have stopped, and the evolution is complete. 

That was close! 

I almost ran out of SP there. 

Just how much SP does it cost to evolve, anyway? 

Well, I guess it was probably only this bad because I forced an evolution on my new freshly hatched, inexperienced body. 

If I was in my original body’s condition, I’m sure it would’ve been a lot easier. 

Now then, how are my stats looking?

Am I seeing this right?! 

My stats went up a ridiculous amount! 

They were already really high after I absorbed Mother’s power, but since I leveled up a bunch of times after that, I guess they’re really out of control now. 

It definitely helps that my stat-increasing skills like Skanda all got maxed out because of Mother. 

And now here we are! 

Looking at the numbers, it’s hard to imagine anyone out there being stronger than I am. 

And yet I’m still not on the same level as the Demon Lord. Ouch. 

Well, that covers my stats, anyway. 

But the main feature of this evolution wasn’t increasing my stats. 

No, the biggest selling point was the changes to my form. 

First of all, I’ve gotten a lot bigger. 

I’m still small compared to the adult taratect I saw when that arch attacked, but I’m definitely not travel size anymore. 

But frankly, I don’t really care about that. 

The biggest change is the part that’s grown out of my head. 

The upper body of a human. 

It kinda feels like I have two minds, in a weird way. 

Sort of like Parallel Minds but also different. 

It’s almost as if I have two brains thinking about the same thing at the same time. In fact, that’s probably what’s happening. 

I also have two fields of vision now. 

One is the same as before, aside from being a little higher, since my body is bigger. 

The other is a view from a higher position than that. 

I slowly peer around at my surroundings from that vantage point. 

Oh man. 

Up until now, my head’s been connected to my torso, so I had to turn my whole body if I wanted to look around. But now, I can secure a wide range of vision just by moving my neck. 

I look down. 

Oh hey, boobs. 

I guess I really am female, then. 

Most males probably wouldn’t have a chest like this. 

Since I couldn’t tell what was what on my old spider body, I worried from time to time that it might actually be male, but I guess it was female after all. 

Well, I kinda figured, since the Demon Lord looks like a girl anyway. 

Hmm. I’m technically only around two years old or so, but I’ve got an adult body. 

I look at my hands, flexing them experimentally. 

It’s perfectly normal that my fingers move when I will them to, but I’m excited nonetheless. 

In fact, I can tell that I’m starting to smile. 

I’m usually the fairly expressionless type, but it’s great that I can smile naturally now if I want to. 

Yep. This is great. 

I have a human body. 

It’s been so long, I was starting to forget what it felt like. 

My lower half is still a spider, but I’m very familiar with the sensation of this upper half. 

I lean over to examine that lower half. 

Then the spider eyes of my lower body and the human eyes of my upper body meet. 

Whoa, I’m making eye contact with myself! 

The face I see there surprises me. 

It’s…my face. 

The way my face looked in my previous life. 

My eyes are red and my skin and hair are super-white now, but the actual facial features are exactly the same. 

Since I’ve been reborn and all, I was kinda expecting a new face, so this is a pleasant surprise. 

The smile on my human face deepens. 

It’s sort of turning into a smirk. 

Oh geez. 

What’s going on here? 

I’m so happy that it’s hard to describe. 

Hee-hee. Heh-heh-heh-heh! 

My feet tap around on the floor like they’re trying to dance. 

In fact, I kinda do feel like dancing! 

After basking in my happiness for a little while, I decide my upper half probably doesn’t look super-appropriate, so I make a bra out of thread. 

As I’m finishing up, the huge amount of eggs around me starts to shake. 

One of the shells breaks, and a tiny spider appears. 

Then another and another. 

A few of them already contain my transplanted Parallel Minds. 

My Egg-Laying skill produced a total of one thousand eggs. 

I used one of them myself, so there are nine hundred and ninety-nine left. 

“All right, ladies and gentlespiders! Let’s see what you’ve got!” 

I address the newborn babies out loud. 

Ooh. 

That’s right. Since I have a human form now, I can actually talk. 

To be honest, I did this to test out the Egg-Laying skill and attempt my Parallel Minds transplant experiment, so I hadn’t really thought about what happens once they hatch. 

I guess I’ll just let them fend for themselves in the Great Elroe Labyrinth. 

What do you mean, I’m a bad parent? 

There are a few Parallel Minds mixed in there, which are basically me, so they can be parents in my stead. 

I guess it wouldn’t be so bad to leave them a little food, though. 

I take out some food from Spatial Storage that I haven’t finished eating yet and put it on the ground. 

The baby spiders flock over to it at once. 

Look at all these little spiderlings crawling around. It’s so…creepy. 

Anyway. What am I gonna do now? 

I’ve achieved my goal of evolving into an arachne, which I originally wanted to do so that I could communicate with humans properly and thus get ahold of a decent meal. 

But now that the Demon Lord’s made a mess of my whole local god thing, it’d be a pain to try to make new contact with people. 

Even when they were worshipping me, I didn’t know how to communicate with humans. 

Just because I’m an arachne who looks and talks more like a human now, that doesn’t mean I’m suddenly good at social interaction. 

And since the Demon Lord’s shown up, I can’t go back to that town anymore. 

It’s a bummer, but I’m gonna have to leave that place behind. 

Alas, my sweet, sweet offerings… 

I guess I’ll make one last check to see if there are any more offerings near the forest entrance, and then I’ll skedaddle. 

With that, I teleport to the forest near the town, but there’s just one little problem. 

The town is on fire. 

And a bunch of soldiers are fighting in there. 

One side is the town’s defense force. 

The other is waving a flag I saw back on the battlefield, the Ohts flag. 

Did they send a separate force directly to the town on top of all the troops at the battlefield? 

One of the gates has been broken open, and the Ohts soldiers are storming into the town. 

The defenders are fighting hard, but most of their forces are out on the battlefield, so they don’t have the numbers to last for long. 

At this rate, the town’s going down. 

But there’s something that catches my attention even more than that. 

A group of elves is attacking the lord’s mansion.
