First time (2)

Aglaya, this name has no meaning in the comics. It is the phonetic translation of her name when other demon kings call her.

But at this moment, Inger, who was possessed by Florence, understood the meaning of this word:

"Great mother."

How ironic.

Aglaya, as the Demon King of Pregnancy, is called Pregnancy by humans not because she can give birth to life herself.

But she can give birth to life in others.

Her ability is to transform a creature's body into one that is easily fertile, regardless of gender.

But judging from the comics, her favorite thing to transform is humans.

Especially in this demon realm where female humans are scarce, her abilities have been of great help in the creation of natural demons.

Why doesn't she transform the demons?

Just now, Inger came up with the answer.

As he walked on the road, he could clearly feel the presence of the Demon Mother Tree. The terrifying root system that took root throughout the entire Eastern Continent was calling on the bloodline she created all the time.

Like a beating pulse connected to the heart.

He did not feel any desire to resist, but instead felt a sense of intimacy.

Most of the first and second generation demons were born by the mother tree herself, while the other type of mixed-race children born between demons and humans were also affected by their bloodline.

Autopsies conducted during the war proved that the demons born from the mother tree themselves were incapable of reproduction.

This makes sense if we draw an analogy with matriarchal groups of organisms like ants and bees.

Aglaya transformed the demons into fertile bodies, especially fertile bodies, so she would create a pure-blooded demon.

Even though this bloodline is still influenced by the Mother Tree, this ability will still threaten the Mother Tree, which she will not allow.

Of course this is all just speculation.

After Alex killed Aglaya, he had her taken back for dissection. She was a hermaphrodite, incapable of conception, but with the fertility of a male, and her lower body was a snake…

Inger quickly stopped thinking and went to Aglaya as asked.

Aglaya's body was larger than that of an ordinary human, and her arms were also longer, so she held him in her arms.

Inger was horrified.

Aglaya smiled sweetly and placed her right hand gently on his chest.

"The heartbeat was so loud, I could hear it from so far away."

Inger's heart was pounding and the blood was rushing to his body.

It's not because of anything else, but because of extreme fear and dread.

Aglaya was very satisfied. She stroked his soft, white cheeks with her fingers and watched them become hot and red. She said with great joy, "You are so cute when you are shy."

Inger was trembling all over, and he could hardly control his disgust, but his survival instinct told him to act.

He replayed the scene of his own death dozens of times in his mind, and his excessive heart rate finally began to slow down.

"Your Majesty...what is the matter with you summoning me?"

Aglaya took his hand and stroked it, especially liking the down on it.

"Didn't you ask me for a reward before? I've brought it to you. Choose it."

Some demons in armor brought a cage with expressionless faces.

There were more than a dozen people with deathly pale faces imprisoned inside.

"people……?"

"Yes, do you like it?" Aglaya began to touch his ears and tail again, unable to let go.

Inger's goosebumps couldn't go away, and he said stiffly: "You look listless."

"Most of them are like this. It's not easy to find a few spirited ones." Aglaya thought for a moment, "I can also ask Ruijun for them. Ah, he treasures his human slaves locked in the wall, so it's not easy to get them. But for my treasure, I will get them."

Inger looked at Aglaya and said, "Thank you... Your Majesty."

Aglaya smiled and said, "Why don't you call me mother today? But, Your Majesty, this title sounds good coming from your mouth."

[………I’m going…………]

She turned downwards and said, "If Fei Leng doesn't like it, send it to mother."

"Mother" refers to the mother tree of the demon clan.

Inger said quickly, "I want it."

Aglaya: "Oh? I thought you didn't like it."

Inger opened his mouth and spoke unsteadily: "Mom... whatever Mom gives me, I want it all."

This is an area he has never touched before.

Aglaya was overjoyed and began to pick up the clothes on his shoulders: "You are so good at talking, sweetheart..."

Inger felt that if he didn't run away, his innocence would be lost.

He quickly said, "Mom, I'm not feeling well today and want to go back and rest."

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes were drooped without any pretense, creating an expression of pity and grievance.

Aglaya's heart melted.

"Then go back and have a good sleep, baby."

Inger's steps were inevitably much faster when he went out.

And Aglaya continued her game of hugging and hugging.

The guards brought the cage containing the people outside the door. Duper quickly took the handle of the cage, opened the door, and tied each person up with a rope. Their faces were pale, their lips were purple, and some were still vomiting blood.

Duper looked reluctant and had to lead them to walk as slowly as possible.

As Duper and Inger walked, Inger realized that the place they were heading to was not the place where he had woken up.

Inger didn't ask, but followed silently.

When they got to a place, Inger's eyes lit up.

The blinding light leaked through a gaping hole in the upper miasma layer, illuminating a clean, unpolluted area.

That is the sunshine.

Inger squinted his eyes as he looked at the light that had taken on substance due to the Tyndall effect.

My eyes feel uncomfortable and stinging.

As he approached the open space shrouded in sunlight, his skin began to feel uncomfortable and his breathing became rapid, but soon, the light fell on his skin and his discomfort slowly disappeared.

That area is bordered by sea water and rivers, forming an isolated island. The rivers are relatively wide and have never been polluted by demons.

The broken circle in the sky looked extremely abrupt, surrounding this small area like a deep well.

The people living in this village are like frogs in a well, and can only see a limited piece of clean sky.

In the comics, there are also such villages for humans to live in the demon territory.

It's not out of kindness.

It is because after four hundred years of slaughter, humans have become "rare animals" on this continent, and the demons have also learned to switch from exhausting fisheries to sustainable "animal husbandry".

Humans are the only creatures on this land that are naturally capable of reproduction.

Inger followed Tupper across the bridge into the village.

There are no walls or fences because they are not needed. Just a simple stone house.

More than a hundred people gathered in the small island village.

When the humans inside saw Inger coming, they gathered around, with awe, gratitude, and desire in their eyes, all their eyes were focused on Inger.

Duper untied the ropes of the human slaves he had brought. The slaves' legs went limp and they fell to the ground. Some of them lay on the ground, vomiting blood, and then fainted.

Several people in the village gathered to help Duper carry the injured. They had no expression on their faces, as if they were used to it.

Duper sighed and said to Inger, "I'll go distribute the food first."

Hearing this, Inger understood the meaning of these people's looks.

The crowd quickly gathered. Some knelt down to pray and worship him, while others sat in the corners with dull eyes. Children hid behind adults, curled up in their arms.

Inger also saw some people sitting on chairs near the door, basking in the sun with their big bellies and false hopes on their faces - there were both men and women in the group.

An absurd and bizarre scene.

Inger looked at these humans, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

If you look at it in a comic, it's just a cruel setting.

But when it was before his eyes, he felt a sense of reality on one hand, and a sense of empathy and sadness on the other.

Of course, it's more fear.

The depiction of demon slavery in the comics is not much different from humans' attitude towards livestock.

Humans are smarter and stronger than livestock, so they domesticate, breed, keep livestock in captivity, and slaughter them for food.

The same is true for the demons, except that they don't like to eat humans. Only the demon mother tree likes to eat humans as the base material for giving birth to demons.

Of course, people also sympathize with animals, for example, by treating their favorite animals as pets.

The more Inger watched, the more nauseous he felt.

He kept a straight face and walked to where Duper was distributing food.

He skillfully set up a pot and put the processed meat and wild vegetables into it to stew.

Among the wild vegetables, Inger saw things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and radishes, which were foods that people in the Western Continent discarded like chicken ribs.

"Won't this meat... be poisonous to them?" Inger asked.

What he put in there was obviously monster meat.

Warcraft and demons are not the same species.

In the Eastern Continent, Warcraft is a creature at the bottom of the food chain.

But the monsters in the Eastern Continent are clearly better adapted to the environment here than humans.

Duper said with a smile as he cut vegetables: "As long as you peel off the skin, remove the poison glands, drain the blood, and cook it twice, you can eat it. However, the poison must be poured into the sea, otherwise it will pollute the land here, so it needs to be handled by a specialist."

[This is the coastal area...]

“These dishes…”

Tupper poured a bowl and handed it to the person in front of him. The other person took it, bowed to Inger several times, and ran away quickly.

Dupo smiled bitterly and said, "It's of human race... The food of the demons is obviously not suitable for them to eat..."

Inger spotted a wisp of yellow fur sticking out from beneath Dooper's clothes, just below his neck.

That's why he wouldn't be poisoned by the demonic mist.

Because he is also a demon, and judging from his human-like appearance, he should be a mixed-race demon.

When Duper was distributing food, people lined up, with children in front and adults behind. Everyone was so skinny that they didn't have the strength to fight for it.

As for those who are pregnant, their complexions look much better.

Inger wanted to know why Aglaya was so keen on letting humans give birth to hybrid demons.

But he couldn't ask Duper directly, so he had to wander around the village first.

The vegetation coverage in this area is extremely low, and what is there is only some moss that cannot satisfy hunger and some poisonous grasses that will make you foam at the mouth if eaten.

But the soil is sandy loam, which is suitable for growing tuberous plants.

Inger clapped his hands and walked through each door.

As I was walking, I met a man with a big belly.

The man had black hair, blue eyes, nose, and lips, and was about 70% similar to the face of the body seen in the mirror.

Sure enough, when the other party saw him, he quickly quickened his pace, called out, "Xiao Leng," and then hugged him tightly.

"Let Daddy see if you are hurt?"

Inger had no choice but to say, "………I'm fine."

I just felt that my world view and world outlook had been shattered several times today.

The man's name is Feilin, and he is Fei Leng's biological father.

Of course Inger didn't know his name.

"Doesn't His Majesty the Holy King love you the most? Why did he let you go to the arena to fight with them... Are you really not injured? Don't lie to me... You were like this before, you didn't say a word when you were injured..."

[…Fighting?]

Inger looked at Filin's bulging belly, the clear liquid flowing under his feet, and his brow that was obviously in pain. He was more worried about this man.

[…Is this going to be produced?]

Inger decided not to think about these problems with the original logic anymore because his brain was about to crash.

Inger picked up the man horizontally. Although he looked weak, he was actually hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary human. He quickly and steadily carried him to a house next to where Duper was and laid him down.

He told Tupper to get hot water and boiled knives and the like.

With the help of experienced people in the village, Filin miraculously gave birth to a rosy baby girl.

During the delivery, the baby was in an abnormal position, so Inger had to use force on her belly to straighten the baby. Although he had no experience at all, the result was good.

Because the matter was handled properly, the father and daughter are safe.

When Inger wiped his hands, his expression was a little dazed.

[Ah... Life really can be full of everything...]

For example, being a midwife for a non-human creature.

For example, delivering the younger sister born by your father.

However, during this process, Inger discovered that although the male human physique had been transformed, the bone structure remained unchanged, especially the pelvic structure. In terms of fertility, women were still superior to men.

"…What is it?" Inger asked.

Feilin looked down at the child and said bitterly, "It's a demon."

Inger quickly guessed the meaning based on what had been said before.

"Feleng" needs to fight in the arena.

This fight cannot possibly be with weak humans.

Pure-blooded demons do not have young ones; they are adults as soon as they are born from the womb of the mother tree.

So the result is out, a fight between half-blood demons.

The concept of demon is not clear. It can refer to a purebred first-generation demon who looks like a human, or it can refer to a hybrid with both demon and human blood.

Fei Leng has a human father, so he is a half-blood demon.

Raise silkworms.

Although the half-blood demons have human blood, they also retain the characteristics of the demon race, and occasionally they will be born with powerful powers. For example, this puppet demon king is a strange being with the ability to possess.

Aglaya transformed humans to give birth to demons, and then let the demons fight each other to cultivate the strongest demon, who is also her child.

In the comics, Aglaya herself is not that powerful, at least far weaker than other demon kings, but she is also the most difficult to kill because she has a lot of powerful and loyal "children" around her.

You need to kill all those guards before you can reach her body.

He originally thought that this was the usual comic book routine of "passing levels and defeating generals, and the boss appears at the end", but he didn't expect there was such a layer.

Inger felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked at Philin lying on the bed.

Children born here have only two directions and four paths. If they are demons, they will be thrown into the jar and fight to the end, or become a stepping stone for others. If they are human beings, they will wait to grow up, or become a reproductive tool, or be raised to be fed to the mother tree.

In such a hopeless situation with no future, one can't help but wonder: What is the point of being born?

The setting for having children in this movie is not like ABO or twins, but more like the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West?
