Chapter 5 - 3.Transformation and the Plan

Eto pov

When we went for a direct confrontation I was convinced of my victory because I was much heavier and stronger than before. I imagined how I would crush her the moment we met but it didn't go as planned because from one moment to the next I felt severe pain where I hit her and flew backwards like a cannonball, breaking the trees behind me. When I finally stopped most of the wounds had already healed, when I prepared myself for the fight she was already in front of me and started hitting me with a barrage of blows, each one hurting so much that I had to vomit blood more than once. However, I was able to make her retreat with a barrage of projectiles when I finally got a picture of my condition and wow there were dents everywhere and some of the spikes were broken. That was the time when I finally noticed the difference in strength between the two of us because I gave everything and still lost but when I look at her I just get an unimpressed look. But it doesn't matter because I will fight to the end to achieve my goals and I will not let anything stop me.

I watched as she got back up after the few blows and sighed quietly. In the end I didn't even have to draw my weapon to fight her. This world is just too weak for me. Even if I'm fighting one of the strongest beings on this planet, she is no challenge. In the end I decide to stop playing around with it. As soon as I looked into her eyes and saw a much smaller eye behind them, I noticed that she hadn't transformed her body but had formed a shell around her body with this flesh. Which means I just have to rip her out. As I approached her she tried everything from shooting projectiles to impaling me with her spear hands but in the end it did nothing. "It's time we got down to business" I then started to tear the body apart as I took a desperate Eto out of the body and threw her on the ground. She seemed exhausted from repeated regeneration, as she tried to get up I kicked her on her back and kept my foot on her stomach enough to hurt her but not kill her. I could only hear her whispering "If you think I'm going to be your slave then forget it torture or kill me I don't care!" Then she closed her eyes and waited for her fate. I on the other hand could only look at her for a moment before I started to explain to her what was really going to happen to her. "Do you think you can escape from me that easily? I have something that can change both your mind and your body, and now you will feel it for yourself." I had discovered that the reason why the ghoul had melted was because his body and mind were simply too weak to be transformed, causing his body to collapse and ultimately disintegrate. But Eto is different, her form had both a superhuman body and high regeneration, and from her defiant look, her mind was not so weak either, although she knew that something very bad was about to happen to her. When All the World's Evils finally began to flow from the armor onto Eto, she let out a loud scream, but it was soon muffled when she was completely covered in the liquid. I then took a step back and watched the spectacle of her writhing until she finally calmed down and her body began to absorb the substance and you slowly but surely saw her new appearance. She now wore tight fitting black and red armor with gold trim, as for her head, her face was covered with a mask that covered everything below her nose and had horns pointing up to the sky above her temple. When Eto finally opens her eyes and sits up, she fixes me with her gaze and I noticed a few differences. She had grown slightly now, but the more obvious changes were her eyes and hair, with the hair still being green except that it was now much paler than before. Her eyes, however, now had a light green sclera and a red iris with a black pupil, making her quite fearsome to normal humans.As I looked at her I was very pleased with her new look and as she got down on her knees and bowed I knew that her mind had also changed for the better, however I was brought out of my thoughts when she said in a sweet and submissive voice. "Lady Alter I will serve you for all eternity and please forgive this humble servant for his previous impudence in attacking you." "Your actions will be forgiven but in the future I expect nothing but absolute obedience and devotion and call myself Artoria." "Of course Lady Artoria what will we do next?" We will go back to the base where you will explain more about this world and the situation between you and the humans." And so I set off again with Eto following with a "As you wish". When we arrived back at the entrance to the mall, we saw a large group waiting for the two of them, and this time there were people who were clearly different from the normal foot soldiers. Suddenly a white-haired man with a red mask stepped forward and asked with an angry expression on his face. "Who are you two?" But before anyone could answer, one of the guards shouted. "She's the monster that attacked us. I don't know who the one with the green hair is, but the one with the white hair attacked us!" After he had finished speaking, the atmosphere became very tense, but surprisingly Eto began to speak, even though her voice was muffled by the mask. "Tatara, I see you've returned from the 24th district. As for who we are, you should be able to recognize me by my voice." He then looked at her with wide eyes and asked. "What happened to you? You look completely different." "Heh, it's all thanks to our master Lady Artoria, because she is the one-eyed king and the person who is ushering in a new era." Tatara, on the other hand, looked at her with narrowed eyes for a few seconds before the situation calmed down again and he finally spoke. "Then we have a lot to tell each other, Noro, come with me, the rest will go somewhere else." So the people left the place in quiet whispers and the four made their way to a conference room where Tatara began to speak. "So you should be the one-eyed king, what is your goal and what happened to Eto?" Ignoring the death of a few weak subordinates. After a moment, Artoria finally speaks up for the first time. "My goal is to spread chaos and destruction in this world and as far as Eto is concerned, I have only improved her a little, but my question is, are you as loyal to me as she is?" I point to the submissive Eto who is standing behind me. Noro was still standing still while Tatara spoke in an indifferent voice. "You have my support as long as you don't stand in the way of my goals." "And what kind of goal would that be?" "Revenge for my brother." "I can handle that. I want to have a meeting with all the executives in an hour, by then everyone will be fired." I followed Eto out of the room in the direction where I first met Eto and when we arrived in the room. "Eto, tell me everything you know relevant about this world and you ghouls." As you wish."

1 hour later

Artoria and Eto are seen heading towards the conference room, while Artoria goes over all the information she has received again. She finally comes out of her thoughts again when they look at the room with the 6 other people. You could see their surprised expressions when they saw the two of them as the two armored and partially veiled Splits approached them. But the next moment Tatara began to introduce the people to each other. "Listen carefully, this is Artoria the one-eyed king and your new superior, while the person next to her is Eto and don't even ask me about her new look, I don't quite understand it myself." He paused briefly before pointing at the members one by one and saying their names. "And these are the Bing brothers, Jason, Ayato, you already know me and Noro, now that we all know each other I think we can talk about the operation that will begin in 3 days. We will split into 2 teams, one will take over the defense of the base while the other will attack the Cochlea, with the attack force receiving the majority of the troops. The task of the defense will be to lure as many attackers as possible into the bomb-filled building and then bury them." At this time Artoria speaks up. "Good to know, give me 50 expendable ghouls and 2 or 3 leaders and it will go like clockwork." Tatara looked at her for a moment before agreeing and dividing the groups, with Bing brothers and Jason assigned to the defense, with Tatara observing from afar while the rest will attack Cochlea to free ghouls.

When I heard his plan I thought it was pretty good, it is both insidious and ingenious and to be honest I prefer to be on the front lines rather than hiding in the shadows. I also decided to send Eto to Cochlea to ensure a successful mission. I must also say that everything has gone perfectly so far, as I am now the head of probably the most powerful organization in the world and thanks to me it will only get stronger over time. There is also the possibility of simply changing more ghouls like Eto, but I think that this treatment should only be honored and given to people with potential.

1 day before the operation loud screams began to be heard in the area, this aroused the interest of Artoria who moved towards the source of the noise. When she finally arrived at a round outbuilding the only thing she could see was Jason with a boy with black hair and tears running down his face. When the clatter of her iron boots was heard Jason turned around and finally greeted Artoria with the question. "How do you like my work so far?" She looks at the shaking boy and approaches him whereupon he stares at her and looks at her with a spark of hope, but that spark goes out as soon as he hears her next words. ,,It's not bad but he's not broken yet, so how long has he been here?" Jason thinks for a moment before he says. "If I remember correctly, he's been here for 9 days, he really is my favorite toy." "Not bad at all, but in the end much too weak, but well, you're all weak for me, but well, that can't be changed." She turned to the boy again. "I hope you have fun, because by tomorrow at the latest the torture will be over in one way or another." With these words, she made her way to the exit and left the words behind her. "You can go back to work." When Jason was sure that she had left the building, he turned towards his victim and said. "What she said made me really angry, I'm supposed to be weak, what a joke, but since I can't take my anger out on her, you'll have to hold out, my Kaneki." That day, a bone-chilling scream could be heard until late into the night.
