Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Fly, fly, my pride is indulged~……

After Jason was drugged, his eyes closed, his legs kicked, and he fell to the ground. Before Li Hua and Benjamin could scream, No. 666 explained, "You have to shut down the computer before you fix it, right? His brain is the most seriously injured, so he's shutting it down for repairs right now."

The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief. They moved Jason behind his own tombstone and let him sit up, while they sat next to Jason and waited for him to wake up.

Benjamin patted Li Hua on the shoulder and said, "Li Hua, you made a heroic choice."

Li Hua: "It's just that there's someone in front of me who needs it more than I do. But without that healing potion, we two have to be more careful. You don't want us, the gravedigging duo, to end up digging someone's grave, do you?"

Benjamin: "Of course not. And where did you get your terrible sense of humor?"

Li Hua: "Maybe it's because I've been close to death so many times, so it's inevitable that I've brought some characteristics from the underworld."

The two people were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice that Jason's little finger dipped into the soil trembled.

Benjamin: "Okay, now that the hero has saved others, it's time to save myself. What exactly is wrong with me? Please tell me briefly and accurately this time."

At the beginning, Benjamin still had some pride to worry about, so he wanted No. 666 to tell him the embarrassing test results in a tactful way.

But now both he and Li Hua were like drowned rats covered in mud. It was no exaggeration to say that the mossy tombstone opposite was more decent than them. At this time, Benjamin had neither the mood nor the energy to care about his face. He just wanted to quickly figure out what was going on with the Omnitrix and when he could use it normally.

Number 666: [The scan shows that your Nakfuji life form is in the Conception. This is why you can't remove the Omnitrix. Your last Omnitrix removal was probably just before the conception.]

The Omnitrix is ​​the Noah's Ark of intelligent life in the universe, developed for the survival of civilization and species. In this special situation, it is definitely not allowed to be removed midway.

“…What?” Benjamin didn’t react to this academic term immediately, or perhaps he completely ignored the meaning of this word in his mind.

But Li Hua, who has spent years in the hospital and witnessed her mother's pregnancy and birth of her younger sister, couldn't remain calm: "Pregnancy means pregnancy. The test report shows that you are pregnant."

Benjamin: ...? ?

"This joke is not funny!"

"I'm not kidding. But I understand your anger. When the truth is too unbelievable, humans often fall into a state of shock and denial."

No. 666's voice was very calm, and then it dropped a bombshell with such a calm voice that shocked the listeners.

The Nakfuji are hermaphroditic and autoreproductive, laying eggs every eighty years. During this time, they consume large quantities of metal for nutrition and nesting. The Omnitrix was developed as an ark for the continuation of civilization. The continuation of life takes precedence over all else, and Benjamin's instinct for reproduction is forcibly suppressed.

"...I'm done." Benjamin hung his head in despair. "What should I do...I'm only 15 and haven't even had my 16th birthday yet. What if my parents find out..."

Before he could even tell his parents that he actually transformed into an alien every night to fight crime, he had to first tell them that they were becoming grandparents... or rather, grandparents...

What a hellish situation!

"Wait... Doesn't that mean Ben will give birth in a few days?"

Li Hua was also completely dumbfounded and didn't know how to react.

When he became the Maintainer of Space and Time, No. 666 had told him that he would witness and experience with his own eyes all sorts of wonders and adventures that he would never encounter in his entire life in his original world.

...But you didn't say it was such an adventure!

"Don't panic, don't panic, Ben. Things won't necessarily be that bad." Li Hua, who wasn't involved in the incident, had more rationality left than Benjamin. He even knew to ask, "What's the due date? When is it?"

If they could hold on until they returned to Benjamin's original world, perhaps they would have enough time to find Azmis and deal with the situation.

No. 666: [Good news, the Nakfuji people's due date is very short, and they are very autonomous. They should be ready in a few days...]

Benjamin wailed, "Does this mean I'm going to give birth in the next few days? Oh my god, I ate ice cubes in the morning! I ate ice cubes!"

[…Calm down, both of you!!! Especially you, Benjamin! The one who’s pregnant is the Omnitrix’s Kfuji form, not you! !]

No. 666 was really about to lose its patience. It knew that the brain processor of a human teenager would not be able to quickly accept and understand this situation, so it did not say anything when Li Hua was chasing the ice ghost and at the critical moment of digging for survival just now.

"You know you're a human male. You don't even have the physical organs to conceive. It's impossible to get pregnant in this position! It's not you who's nurturing the fetus, it's your Nakfuj form! It only comes out for a few hours a day at most, and you have no memory of that time. With the Omnitrix protecting your body, there won't be any major problems. Nakfuj forms are born capable of taking care of themselves and traveling across the universe back to their home planet, Kelmis, without your care. So, what are you freaking out about?"

In the eyes of No. 666, this is no different from downloading an installation package plug-in. It is even automatically downloaded and installed in the background. Benjamin himself is not injured and has no related memory. Li Hua has nothing to do with him.

So what are you guys breaking down about?! It's like you're actually involved.

The explosive soul-casting sound of No. 666 forcibly interrupted the brainstorming of Li Hua and Benjamin. The two teenagers thought about what No. 666 said...

It seems so.

The one who is pregnant is an ice ghost, the one who is nurturing the fetus is an ice ghost, the one who is looking for food is an ice ghost, the one who is building a nest is an ice ghost, and the one who is giving birth to a child is also an ice ghost.

Benjamin had nothing to do with the whole process. His role in the process was just an Omnitrix launcher, just like the account that was replaced by someone else in the game, with almost no sense of existence.

After figuring this out, Benjamin finally accepted this reality... Mainly because he had no choice but to accept it.

Omnitrix and Ice Ghost would definitely not agree to him having an abortion, not to mention that there is no institution that can perform abortions in this universe where there are no Nakfuji people.

Benjamin sighed heavily, "Then I have no choice but to give birth first, and then take Him with me to leave this world."

What he is worried about now is the nature of the ice ghost cub to cross the universe and return to its mother planet after birth... He is no longer in the original universe, and it is obvious that the child cannot fly back to Nakfuji. He can only take him with him first, and then go back to the original universe with Dr. Maodun who comes to pick him up, and then release him.

Li Hua also thought of this and smiled bitterly: "It seems that our journey to bid farewell to this world will change from a duo to a trio."

"That's all we can do." Benjamin sighed deeply. He noticed Jason's frown, thinking he might be waking up. "Alright, let's go..."

No. 666: [Regarding this, actually——]

"No! No way!"

Jason, who should have been asleep, suddenly sat up, grabbed Benjamin and Li Hua's arms, and shouted deafeningly.

"I know it's difficult to be a teenage mother and raise a child, but you can't give up your life so easily! I will definitely help you!"

"You eavesdropped on our conversation!" Li Hua's other hand had already grabbed the bird-beak staff. "When did you wake up?!"

"That's not the point," Jason said seriously. "Nothing is more important than life! Don't give up your life!"

The potion given by No. 666 was extremely effective. Jason woke up when he was dragged by Benjamin and Li Hua against the tombstone, but he was pretending to be unconscious.

Because Jason couldn't figure out what was going on with him, all he could think about was the blast of the explosion and the screams coming from beneath the dirt, so he chose to stay put until he could figure out his situation.

Jason could not hear the soul transmission of System 666, which resulted in him only hearing half of the content. He understood that he was resurrected because of the life-saving potion provided by one of the two people, but his understanding of Li Hua and Benjamin's current situation was completely on another dimension.

From what Jason understood from only half of what he heard, the one called "Ben" should have gender identity disorder. The "boy" who currently identifies himself as male got pregnant at the age of 15. It seemed that "he" had just been told by his companions that he was pregnant and was about to give birth. He was extremely devastated and even had thoughts of suicide.

As for the one named "Li Hua"... although he sounds like a man, considering that he and "Ben" act together, it is not ruled out that Li Hua may also have differences in gender identity.

Out of respect for his savior, Jason decided to avoid using Li Hua's gender alias as much as possible without knowing the details.

In short, the man named Li Hua might have helped "Benjamin" to get the examination report. Jason didn't hear any sound of paper, so he speculated that it might be something like a mobile phone.

When Jason heard this, he had no intention of revealing the fact that he had woken up. He was just thinking about how to choose a way to "wake up" that would not scare the mother... the father... uh, the "person about to give birth", and then take them to a reliable clinic to settle down. He would immediately go to meet up with Bruce, and then rush the two of them to the hospital.

They must investigate the purpose of the two men digging graves and the bottle of potion that is comparable to the water in the Lazarus Pool but does not seem to have the side effects that would drive people crazy. However, in the minds of both Jason and Bruce, the priority of this information is far less important than the loss of life.

It wasn't until he noticed that Li Hua and Benjamin were having suicidal thoughts (they said they were leaving this world, so what else could this be but suicide!), and were about to leave, that Jason, who was eager to save them, could no longer pretend. He immediately sat up in shock from his sleep, grabbed the two of them and tried to persuade them earnestly.

…

Back to the present, Jason didn't dare to let go of the two men's arms, for fear that they would turn around and jump into Gotham Bay:

"I know raising a child is hard. It's okay, I understand. It's okay if I can't fight now. I can help find someone who can. I know Gotham very well."

"No, you don't understand. Let go first!"

Li Hua had a ferocious expression and a bad tone. Jason knew that the other party did not listen to his persuasion and was instead angered.

In fact, Li Hua was not angry. Who would be angry because his life was valued by others?

Anyway, Li Hua, who cherishes his life very much, would not do that.

It was just because of the excessive exercise before that Li Hua's arms were particularly sore, and Jason was holding them so hard, so the sour feeling naturally overflowed into Li Hua's tone and expression management.

Seeing that the two were unmoved, Jason's eyes swept from Li Hua's muddy skirt and Benjamin's outfit, which looked exactly like that of other men of the same age. He took a deep breath.

"I know cognitive impairment is painful, but I believe you can get through it! If you still can't..."

"Wait a minute—"

Benjamin vaguely realized that Jason had misunderstood something. He tried to cover Jason's mouth, but Benjamin, who was severely exhausted, was not able to recover to full health, and Jason, who was anxiously trying to save people, was quick.

Jason shouted seriously, "I can fund your sex change surgery! Don't give up hope of living!"

Li Hua: “…”

Benjamin: “…”

To be honest, they had never given up hope of living, and their persistence was as solid as a rock.

But now, this persistence seems to be a little shaken.

The author has something to say:

PS: The story of Ice Ghost giving birth is in the 4th episode of the second season of "BEN10: Alien Heroes"

PPS: Necrofriggian is not the name of a planet but a race. Their home planet is Kylmyys. "Necrofriggians" is also a mistranslation (but honestly, I don't think it's the translation's fault. Among a bunch of aliens, who would know that Necrofriggian is a race name and not a planet name?)
