118. Human Garden (7)
118. Human Garden (7)
Albert, the de facto ruler of Mederun City that had consumed the Padix Kingdom, was spending his time very busily.
Having only managed a single city and now having swallowed up an entire kingdom, it was only natural that he would be busy.
The Padix royal family was nearly annihilated.
There was only one reason he couldn't completely wipe out the entire royal family.
It was because Queen Leah had ordered that the children not be killed.
Albert was wary of the royal children growing up in the future.
No matter how powerless they were at the moment, having royal blood meant it was uncertain just how strong they might become at any time.
However, disobeying Leah's orders was impossible.
Unable to do anything else, he slaughtered everyone except the children. He secretly attached creatures to the children that would have no effect on them but could keep watch over them.
In the past, during this process, Albert would have simply waited for his subordinates to carry things out.
No matter how powerful he had once been in the past, he was old and had sustained injuries, so he didn't actually act.
But for this royal extermination plan, Albert moved personally.
Having received Queen Leah's grace and been given the opportunity to become a creature, Albert not only regained the power of his prime but became even stronger.
He didn't live in the colony, but since Albert had originally dominated the underworld of Mederun City, obtaining edible humans was an extremely simple task.
Albert, who had once viewed humans as tools, now began to view humans as food.
No, they weren't just food. They were magical food that made him stronger every time he ate.
Albert felt ecstasy as he killed the troublesome royals with his own hands.
Recalling the sensation at his fingertips as he mutilated the royals' bodies, Albert was clearing through a never-ending pile of work.
He had to concern himself not just with a city, but with an entire kingdom.
Moreover, it wasn't just the city and kingdom he needed to worry about; the number of places he had to manage after swallowing the kingdom had increased significantly.
No matter how much he relieved stress by recalling the sensation of killing royals with his own hands, reminiscing about past events didn't account for a large portion of stress relief.
But there was one piece of good news for Albert.
It was the news that the hero's party was in the colony.
Albert had been interested in the healer from the hero's party for a long time.
He wanted to drug and rape her, but no matter how wicked Albert was, he didn't do something as stupid as touching the hero's party.
If it were just royalty, he would have forcibly drugged and raped them, but what if the hero's party didn't come to help when Mederun City was in danger?
No matter how trashy his personality, when it came to matters concerning Mederun City, Albert was a man more calm, composed, and warm-hearted than anyone else.
But now things were different.
The hero's party had become useless.
Albert thought that the Legion would defeat the hero's party.
However, the creature legion was far more formidable than expected.
More precisely, Queen Leah's power was too great.
Albert had thought that even if the creatures were strong, the entire legion would need to attack to defeat the hero's party.
But what was this?
Queen Leah personally stepped in and wiped out the hero's party like a knight dealing with a newborn baby.
Hearing that news, Albert cut down on his sleep time whenever he had free time to go see the healer of the hero's party.
When he first saw the healer's appearance, he was shocked.
Her limbs were severed, and she could only lie on the bed crying endlessly, unable to do anything. He wanted to rush in right away, grab her neck with both hands, and rape her.
But since the healer was an extremely important resource right now, no one except Amber could enter the Human Zoo; only observation was possible.
The healer just lay on the bed doing nothing, but that alone was incredibly arousing, so there was nothing better than spending time drinking tea and watching.
A week passed, and finally, due to Evolute's intervention, the healer fell into the tentacle pit.
Wondering if he would never be able to see the healer again, regret welled up, but Evolute, out of consideration for Albert, who had become a creature no longer human, allowed him to see the healer.
It wasn't that she was taken out of the pit; rather, he was given access to the consciousness of the tentacles inside the pit.
This was possible because the tentacles were fundamentally made of Evolute's body.
Thus, Albert became able to control and sense through the tentacles in the pit.
"You're beautiful today as well."
Albert grinned lecherously at the healer visible before him.
The healer inside the pit, her limbs severed, surrounded by tentacles dripping with aphrodisiac.
Unable to maintain her sanity amidst insane pleasure no human could experience, the healer was like a soulless person.
She simply convulsed reflexively in response to the tentacles' movements, climaxing.
On her first day in the pit, she had spoken ceaselessly.
"St, stop...! Sp, spare me, hnngh!!!"
"I don't want to! I d, don't want to go any further—KYAAAAAAHHH!!!"
"P, please save me! It's too d, deep, it h-hurts! UOOOOHOHOHOHOH!"
But as time passed, the healer began to change.
"Haaaahhhnn!! I'm c, cumming!!! Te, tentacle-nim! I-I'm c-cumming! So...!!!"
"Hyaak! My, my chest—huaaah! Hehehe... my chest and my pussy are both r, ruined."
Inside the pit, with nothing but tentacles and the healer.
In that confined space where only tentacles and the pleasure they provided existed, the healer's mind was breaking down.
Brain cells for other thoughts and sensations gradually transformed into cells for experiencing pleasure.
It was only natural.
Other senses were utterly useless inside the pit.
But pleasure poured in, to an extent unbearable for a human.
As a result, the human body, struggling to survive by any means, eventually converted all brain cells unnecessary in the pit—namely reflexes, the senses needed for walking, the sensation of moving arms, and so on—into cells to handle the pleasure.
In other words, the healer's brain in the pit was gradually becoming not the brain of an adventurer, but one that could feel more intensely and vulgarly than a prostitute.
Now, the healer's brain had reached a point where it could do nothing but feel pleasure.
Albert was spending happy moments watching the healer deteriorate like this.
"Haaauuuung..."
Buuurrrrrr.
When Albert moved the tentacle to touch the clitoris on the healer's vulva, her body trembled violently and she leaked love juice.
The healer's vulva, which had climaxed far too many times, had lost all strength.
Normally, when climaxing, the vulva should contract and the pressure should spray out love juice, but the healer's vulva, whose muscles had no strength left to move, simply let love juice flow out like water from a tilted cup.
Albert would normally lose interest and discard a woman in such a state, but since he had witnessed and created this entire process by controlling the tentacles, it only made him more aroused.
"In this state, will she now become pregnant with a creature? I wonder what kind of creature she'll conceive."
The thought of tentacles wriggling and pushing open the healer's vulva when she gave birth was appealing, and the sight of her giving birth to egg-shaped creatures smoothly was also nice.
As long as it wasn't a creature that killed the healer who nurtured it to be born.

"Huaaaaah..."
Even though her body didn't feel fatigue, I couldn't help but let out a big yawn the moment I entered the warm water.
"Is it because I haven't moved in a while?"
Half a year had already passed since I came here.
In the early days, whenever I saw each creature, I mentally repeated to myself, "Don't tremble, don't tremble," and diligently acted as the queen.
But now?
I was taking a half-body bath with the children in a bath made of human blood.
I had been avoiding eating humans to preserve my humanity, but within half a year, I felt no emotion whatsoever about killing and eating humans.
Yet the fact that I was even having such thoughts meant that my consciousness from when I was a man was still clear.
If the queen's consciousness had grown stronger, I wouldn't even be thinking like this.
Or maybe not? Even as I say this, I'm not sure.
It's not like I'm some philosopher; I was just an extra-level office worker at a black company.
And yet now I possess enough power to destroy this world. It's really funny.

I don't know why the creature legion suddenly appeared in this world, nor why I woke up as the creature queen.
I'm just living however I please. And that's fun.
I went to the academy because I wanted to, quit because I got bored of it, and when I tried eating a human and finally understood the hunger the children had been feeling all along, I attacked the Padix Kingdom.
I never knew living as I pleased could be this joyful and happy.
'After I finish bathing, I should go to the Human Zoo one more time.'
The satisfaction I get from looking at the unique humans I've collected is quite high every time.
Humans so beautiful I couldn't even dare to speak to them back when I was in Korea are now in the Human Zoo like animals. It's very amusing.
