Chapter 133

〈 Episode 133 〉Ascension

“Ugh, hngh…”

Asha’s breathing grew ragged as she approached the Ascension Site. The ever-growing Tentacle inside her was partly to blame, but the real problem was that it was endlessly draining her Mana and life force. Not only was she being fed Nutrient fluid through her mouth, but the Mind entity was also injecting Mana and nutrients through the Tentacle strands embedded all over her body, fighting against the Tentacle inside her that was greedily stealing Asha’s nourishment.

“Hngh! Ugh, ugh!!”

Asha herself realized that her body was reaching its limit.

‘I, I can’t hold on any longer!’

Asha’s face contorted as she felt even her soul being sucked away. The Mind entity also realized that the Tentacle she was carrying was overheating and said,

[Confirmed that it is difficult to maintain any longer. Extract immediately.]

The Tentacles that had been moving Asha immediately turned into a surgical table, preparing to remove the Tentacle inside her Womb. Noticing that the situation was serious, Lucia also rushed over and pulled the Tentacles out of her body.

“Ugh…”

Asha shed tears as she felt her life draining away like water from a bottomless pit. Despite having gained incredible vitality through her hardships, the final part of the Ascension Site was so overwhelming that it swallowed even that transcendent energy.

“Hurry! Mom’s going to die at this rate!”

[Starting extraction.]

Without a moment’s delay, the Mind entity and Lucia clung to Asha. Anet’s expression hardened slightly as she watched them.

‘Is this all just the beginning? What exactly are you creating?’

“Ugh, ah…”

Asha’s skin gradually cracked as her life force was drained. Seeing her pale complexion, Lucia quickly cut off the passage connecting Asha and the Tentacle inside her Womb. In response, the Tentacle inside her Womb resisted violently, reinserting its strands into Asha’s body.

“Th-this!”

Enraged by the Tentacle’s actions, Lucia injected Thought waves into the Tentacle with all her might. Unable to withstand even that, the resisting Tentacle hardened inside Asha’s Womb.

[Excessive injection of Thought waves will damage the component.]

“Agh, I know!”

Lucia, annoyed by the nagging Mind entity, injected anesthetic and slowly began to remove the Tentacle.

“…”

Asha had already lost her strength and lay limp, unconscious. The Mind entity also assisted Lucia, replenishing Asha’s lost energy beside her.

Asha’s body had become incredibly flexible from birthing Tentacles, but giving birth to a Tentacle larger than a human head was not easy. Moreover, with her unconscious, a rather complicated procedure was required. The Mind entity stopped Lucia, who was trying to expand Asha’s Yoni with Tentacle strands.

[Simply expanding and removing it is dangerous. A tube must be inserted.]

“Ugh… I understand!”

Soon, the Mind entity inserted a funnel-shaped tube into Asha’s Cunt and slowly expanded it, changing its shape. Her hole, which was gradually widening, soon grew to an impossible size. Asha woke up again, as the pain surpassed the anesthetic.

“Hnghhh?! Ugh♥”

Asha writhed in pleasure and pain that overwhelmed her brain, and Lucia restrained her.

“Mom, it’s dangerous! Just bear with it!”

Asha’s lower abdomen, already stretched to its limit, was dyed bright red. But it was not yet large enough to remove the Tentacle.

“Papa, couldn’t you have made it a little softer?!”

[It had to be made of a hard, rigid material to perform its function properly. I should have taken it out sooner; it was a miscalculation.]

Lucia, who was anxiously watching the situation, bit her lip and eventually cut a part of Asha’s Yoni.

“Ughhk!”

Lucia fixed the cut part so that it would not tear further, and only then was Asha’s Cunt fully expanded.

“That’s it! Take it out quickly!”

Dozens of slender Tentacles removed the problematic Tentacle from Asha’s Womb. The Tentacle that had been inside her Womb came out smoothly, making the previous process seem ridiculous. The Tentacle that came out was a ball-shaped Tentacle covered in thick blood vessels.

[Acquiring the characteristics of the offspring. Acquired endless Mana.]

It was only after holding it in her hand that Lucia realized that this Tentacle was unusual.

“Papa, this is…?”

[The main power source of the Ascension Site.]

Lucia understood the Tentacle’s behavior of greedily stealing Asha’s life force. The Mind entity carefully took the Tentacle and brought it to the Ascension Site, which was like a heart, and a huge wave spread out.

—!!!

“Ugh!”

Lucia quickly shielded Anet and Asha. It was not enough to threaten their lives, but Lucia frowned at the rather rough impact.

“Papa! Do your job properly!”

[I will control it right now.]

Although it did not show it outwardly, sweat seemed to be dripping down the Mind entity’s body at Lucia’s nagging. The violently shaking Ascension Site was controlled by the Mind entity and soon became calm, emitting a soft light around it. Asha barely opened her eyes and looked at the scene.

“I… is it all over now?”

Lucia treated the wound on Asha’s torn Yoni and said,

“Yeah, it’s all over.”

‘So, are we leaving right away?’

[It is possible to move immediately.]

Asha was filled with mixed emotions at the Mind entity’s words that everything was finally over, although she had suffered until the very end. Above all, she was happy that the time she had endured had not been in vain.

“It’s finally over.”

[Asha.]

“Huh? You know my name?”

Asha realized that this was the first time the Mind entity had called her name. The Mind entity approached the Ascension Site and said to Asha,

[Asha, you have made a significant contribution to the completion of the Ascension Site. You deserve to visit that world. Would you like to go?]

Asha was taken aback by the Mind entity’s unexpected proposal.

“Um… I’m a little curious, but can I come back after going there?”

[We only needed to create the current Ascension Site to move our entire race together, but one individual can move at any time. We have been observing the world and collecting data since time immemorial.]

“Oh, really? Um, what should I do?”

Lucia approached Asha, who was hesitating.

“Mom, you’re not going alone, are you?”

“Can Lucy and I go together? Oh, right. What about Anet?”

Asha, thinking of Anet next to her, asked her. Anet shook her head at Asha’s question.

“I have no intention of leaving this world. I’m fine, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty returns here, I will not follow.”

“That’s what she says. Can Lucy and I go?”

[Possible. Shall we go now?]

“Well, yeah!”

With Asha’s answer, a huge wave, incomparable to the previous vibration, spread out from the Ascension Site. Lucia, who quickly protected Asha, frowned as the overwhelming Mana flowed around the Ascension Site.

“Ugh!”

Asha groaned as she felt her soul being squeezed as the Ascension Site was activated. Anet, who was behind her, had already retreated far away. As the huge eye at the top of the Ascension Site shone, the Mind entity chanted.

[Thus, we become one and head towards the origin…]

At that moment, a huge beam of light shot up from the Ascension Site, piercing through the ceiling of the cavern. The pillar of light, soaring high into the sky, tore and twisted the dimensions of the void.

—!!!

At the same time as the huge Mana swirled along the beam of light, the millions of Tentacles that had already gathered around the Ascension Site disappeared from this continent all at once. Among those who disappeared were Asha and Lucia. Some of the humans who had been detained to supply nutrients to the Tentacles until the very end were also completely liberated from the Tentacles.

Asha felt a strange pressure and opened her eyes.

“Ugh, ugh… What the heck is this…”

“Well, who are you guys, suddenly crawling into someone else’s house?”

“Huh?”

Asha made eye contact with an old man. She blinked, unable to keep up with the situation, and screamed at the sensation she felt in her lower body.

“Hiyat?! What is it!”

Asha turned around and saw that she was in a space with a swarm of Tentacles. She screamed again at the disgusting sight that was physiologically difficult to accept. Then, hearing Asha’s voice, Lucia pushed through the Tentacles and jumped in.

“Get out of the way! Mom!”

“Lucy!”

Lucia swam through the Tentacles and approached Asha. Asha grabbed Lucia’s hand and was flustered when Lucia pulled back behind her.

“Why all of a sudden, Lucy?”

“That person… is dangerous.”

In the chaotic situation, Asha finally remembered that the old man had asked a question. She tried to excuse herself to him, who was looking at her with interested eyes.

“Um… I’m sorry. I was originally going to another world, but I think I came to the wrong place? It’s not my fault…”

“No, you came to the right place. I made those guys.”

“Those guys… you mean the Tentacles?”

“Yes, it seems you’re not an outsider either. You’re lucky to have this.”

“Ah!”

Asha’s mouth dropped open when she saw what the old man was holding in his hand. What he was holding in his hand was the Bikini Armor that had made Asha a performance junkie and an exhibitionist. At the same time, the voice of a great Wizard she had heard before overlapped in her head.

“Th-the pervert Great Wizard!”

“Heh… yes, that’s me. Would you like to explain?”

Asha, who was bewildered by the old man’s question, felt the Telepathic Wave of the Mind entity from behind.

[We have left the world we were staying in and come to the place where the creator resides. That was not the place for us. We apologize for coming without notice.]

“It’s okay, it was nothing.”

‘So that person is…?’

The Mind entity answered Asha’s thought.

[Yes, he is our creator.]

Asha stared at him with astonished eyes at the Mind entity’s words that the old man was the one who created the Tentacles. The old man looked at the Mind entity with admiring eyes.

“If the number had increased this much, that world, which is not based on Mana, would have been depleted in no time. Well done, you managed to discover and move to the dimension where I am. I think we have a lot to talk about, so come with me.”

As the old man walked away, leaving Asha behind, the Mind entity followed him, and Asha, who was bewildered, also followed the old man with Lucia.
