Silence dominated the central chamber of the parasite nest. Everyone in the group stood frozen, unable to utter a single word at the sight before them. The body of Owen, who was lying against the Parasite Queen, had changed so much he was almost a different person.
His once jet-black hair had grown longer, covering his face in an unkempt mess. It was coarse and tangled. His eyes, once full of life, were now dim, devoid of any spark of thought or hope. His skin looked smoother, accompanied by muscle definition that was visibly stronger. At times, they would emit a dark red glow, revealing some kind of energy moving within.
This was the result of the gene-level mutation that the Parasite Queen had been accelerating for him over the past several days. Although it wasn't the bulky build of a bodybuilder, it concealed immense power within a compact and flexible frame. Even someone with no knowledge in the matter could tell that Owen's body was many times more powerful than a bodybuilder's, despite being smaller in size.
And the thing that drew everyone's eyes, even if they didn't want to look… was the size of Owen's penis, which was abnormally different from a human's. It was over 25 inches long, unbelievably and powerfully erect, along with a scrotum as large as that of a top-tier stud animal, clearly showing that he was the chosen sire, meant to continuously seed new life into the Parasite Queen.
"Oh my god!..." Anna exclaimed in disbelief, covering her mouth to stifle her emotions. Her eyes were filled with shock, pity, and fear, even as she secretly swallowed, an inexplicable heat flashing through her lower body.
As for Mark, he could only turn his face away in pity. With a size that large, Owen would never be able to have normal sex with a human again, because no human female could possibly accommodate it.
For the past 7 days, Owen had been fully conscious in a body that was forced to continuously mate with the Parasite Queen. His body was squeezed dry, his life force drained several times a day, until his mind grew numb. The feelings of pleasure and ecstasy became a mechanism that drove him to move without rest.
Owen could no longer count how many times he had ejaculated, how many thousands of parasite children he had produced for her. The many goals in his life began to be erased over time, leaving only the rhythmic movement of a heartless machine of pleasure.
"Owen! Owen!" Rosy's emotional cry shook the cold atmosphere. She immediately ran straight to Owen, ignoring everything else but him.
The young man blinked slowly, as if his spirit were being awakened from a deep slumber. His vacant eyes began to tremble slightly, and when he turned to see her, he thought it was just a dream. "...Rosy?" a hoarse voice escaped his lips, uncertain.
Seeing Owen starting to regain his senses, Rosy smiled through her tears. She threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. "Yes, it's me! I've come to save you, Owen! Wake up, snap out of it! We haven't lost yet. We came back to save you!"
Owen weakly raised a hand and touched her cheek. The cold yet warm human touch made him flinch slightly. His once-empty eyes gradually began to tremble. "This... this isn't a dream, is it?"
"That's right, Owen! This isn't a dream!" Rosy replied with a firm voice. "The Parasite Queen is in a state of paralysis. She doesn't have the power to stop us anymore. If we eliminate her now and escape, everything will be over! And we'll get out of here alive together, Owen!"
Hearing that, the light of life began to return to Owen's eyes. Though still weak, his mind was finally able to become steady again.
"We don't have time!" Mark shouted a warning from behind. "The queen's nervous system could recover at any moment. If she wakes up now, we're all dead!"
Rosy quickly supported Owen's weak body and handed him over to Anna. "Anna, please get him out of here first. Otherwise, we won't have time to escape!"
Anna nodded in understanding and held Owen's body tightly. She immediately rushed to get Owen out of this parasite nest, heading for the research center's exit in advance.
Rosy turned back to face the body of the Parasite Queen, who was still lying motionless, unable to retaliate at all. Her tentacles twitched in a slow rhythm, and the fleshy heart of the nest behind her was still beating, as if to remind them that they were still alive.
"You monster..." Rosy gritted her teeth. She stepped closer to the Parasite Queen's body, slow and full of rage. "You treated him like an animal… like a tool… like he was just your toy!"
Rosy raised the liquid nitrogen nozzle, aimed it at the Parasite Queen's large body, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The hissing sound of the intensely cold liquid blasted against the Queen's biological skin, along with a faint, high-pitched scream. Her body began to convulse, her tentacles started to writhe in agony but were powerless to resist.
"Yaaaaah! This is what you deserve, you monster!" Rosy shouted, circling the Parasite Queen's body, spraying the nitrogen relentlessly until it formed a thick layer of ice, covering her arms, legs, torso, and finally, her arrogant face was slowly swallowed by a layer of white ice.
When the entire body was motionless, frozen into a giant ice block, Rosy looked up at the large, weakly beating fleshy heart in the center of the room. "Finish it all..." she murmured, and aimed the liquid nitrogen nozzle at it, spraying it all over.
The biological heart beat one last time before a cracking sound echoed throughout the room, signaling the end of its life. The biological veins connected to the nest's walls began to turn brittle and snap one by one. The bio-membrane throughout the room started to dry up and quickly turn into a layer of ice.
"That's enough, Rosy! We have to get out of here now, before we run out of air to breathe!" Seeing that Rosy was starting to go on a rampage, Mark ran in and grabbed her arm firmly to snap her out of it.
Rosy nodded at him, before the two of them ran out of the nest for their lives. Their bodies trembled from the cold, and they started to feel dizzy from the lack of oxygen, but their hearts and faces were filled with joy and excitement, because they knew… they had succeeded.
…..
At the entrance of the research center, Anna and Owen were waiting anxiously for Rosy and Mark, hoping they would both come back safely. Both of their eyes shone with hope.
Fifteen minutes later… Owen saw the two of them walking out, exhausted. He didn't hesitate, immediately running to embrace Rosy with joy, happiness, excitement, and ultimate relief, because they had all miraculously survived this hellish event.
The wounds, both physical and mental, were still engraved in their bodies, especially Owen's and Rosy's. They said nothing, only a tight embrace that conveyed everything words could not.
But at that moment…
The atmosphere around them suddenly became still, as if the world had stopped breathing…
The sound of Anna's and Mark's breathing suddenly vanished. Their eyes were wide and frozen, as if staring at something, but their bodies didn't move an inch, like frozen statues. Everything around them had come to a complete standstill. There wasn't even the sound of a whisper of wind. Dust particles that should have been moving in the air were eerily suspended in place.
"What is this..." Rosy turned left and right with a panicked gaze, her hand still gripping Owen's tightly. Only the two of them could move, in a situation that felt like time itself had stopped.
Before a soft tearing sound was heard, as if something had ripped through the fabric of reality, along with a multi-colored light that shone out, revealing a large dimensional rift in front of them.
"A dimensional rift... Did we… succeed?" Owen said faintly. Though still weak, his eyes shone with excitement and joy.
"Yes, Owen! We cleared this sub-dimension... We're really safe now~" Rosy nodded in confirmation, with a tear-stained smile. Her eyes were filled with both relief and the miracle that had come true.
They held hands tightly. No hesitation, no fear, only pounding hearts. They stepped into the rift together, leaving the nightmare, the scars, and the death behind them.
The moment they both walked out of the dimensional rift…
The sound of ambulance sirens and the chaos of rushing personnel slammed into their senses as if the world had started breathing again. They were on a wide road, cordoned off by police vehicles, ambulances, and cars from the Awakened Association. All the personnel were in full protective gear, their tension making it seem like a battlefield.
A continuous murmur of amazement arose. All eyes were fixed on Owen and Rosy as if seeing a mirage. No one could believe that anyone could survive coming out of a Dimensional Gate of Chaos, because even Awakened who got lost inside could easily die.
After regaining their senses, several officers rushed to check on the two survivors. They covered them with blankets and immediately put the weakened Owen into an ambulance.
"Please help him… he's in a very bad state..." Rosy pleaded with the medical personnel who were carrying Owen to the hospital.
Then, Rosy, who was not seriously injured, was questioned by officials from various agencies about what had happened inside. How did they survive? What was the clear condition of the sub-dimension?... Although they sympathized and wanted to let Rosy rest before conducting the investigation, they had to follow procedure, trying to gather as much information as possible from the Dimensional Gate of Chaos.
Rosy answered every question briefly, getting straight to the point. Every word from her was a picture of a terrible reality that no one in the room dared to imagine. Even the most experienced officials had to listen to her intently, because there were few cases where they would encounter a creature that could control the human brain. It was considered a city-level disaster.
In the end, the officials confirmed that neither Owen nor Rosy were Awakened, but had survived through their wits, intelligence, courage, and ultimate sacrifice. The government therefore registered them as disaster survivors and allocated compensation according to regulations. Although the amount was not much compared to what they had faced, it was better than nothing.
The names of Owen and Rosy were spoken of in limited circles as a 'miraculous case' that might be included in the Guinness Book of World Records or the National Archives, as the first ordinary humans to survive a Dimensional Gate of Chaos.
And of course, the time in the real world and the time inside the Dimensional Gate of Chaos were always different. Even though they had been inside that dimension for more than a week, only a few hours had passed in the outside world. Everything still seemed as if it had just happened, though in their hearts, it felt like they had been through hell for years.
Soon, Rosy was allowed to go home, but she chose to go to the hospital to be by the side of Owen, who had not yet fully recovered, hoping only that the doctors could restore him to his former self.
…..
But while Rosy was sitting on public transport, suddenly, the sounds around her strangely faded away, accompanied by a certain sound in her head. A voice she knew and would never forget. It was the voice of a woman who was naturally powerful and noble.
"Don't get your hopes up, little girl~ No one can cure our beloved~"
Hearing that voice, Rosy's eyes widened in disbelief. Her heart dropped with a dreadful lurch.
"Because it's not a disease, or a physical abnormality. It is his evolution… Only de-evolution or time reversal could return him to his original state..." The voice was clear, full of power, seduction, and a chilling confidence.
"Oh~ and there's me... who can make him like he was before. Because the cause, from the very beginning… was me, after all. If you're willing to make a deal with me, that is~" A soft laugh followed, like a breath teasingly blown in her ear.
"This Queen will help him herself... Want to hear my offer, little girl?"
As the sentence ended, the voice disappeared, leaving only a chilling cold in Rosy's heart. She could only sit frozen, her face pale, her lips trembling, her hands clenched, as she uttered the words she feared most.
"Don't tell me... right now... you… are inside my body?" Rosy murmured to herself softly, her voice trembling, full of fear and despair.
In that second, she knew... the nightmare she thought was over… had only just begun…
