Monster clones from all over the world - Chapter 60: The Shoggoth Clone
Su Lun kept playing with the crystal ball, trying to find if there were any functions that he had not yet discovered.
After a while, he discovered a tiny bit of light inside the crystal ball. This light was so tiny that it was hard to see without careful observation.
The bright light is like an arrow, and the indicated position changes as the crystal ball moves.
“Is this indicating somewhere?”
Su Lun looked at the arrow of the crystal ball, which pointed upward, but he was now in an underground hive, with nothing special above his head but steel and concrete.
Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and quickly left the hive and came outside.
It is late at night outside now. Although there is industrial pollution in the sky, many stars can still be seen. A silver-white full moon hangs in the sky, and the arrow on the crystal ball is pointing at the moon.
“Does the moon have anything to do with the clone system?”
Su Lun frowned. The moon was too far away from the earth. He couldn’t go to the moon.
If you want to land on the moon, you need to pay a lot of money and gather your strength to build a moon landing spacecraft.
There is no problem with the moon landing spacecraft. There is ready-made manned moon landing data on the earth, and his genetically enhanced physical fitness is fully capable of becoming an astronaut on the moon landing. However, it will take a long time to build the moon landing spacecraft.
Su Lun fell into deep thought. No matter what was on the moon, as long as it had something to do with the clone system, he had to go up and take a look.
The crystal ball turned into a beam of light again and penetrated into his body, constantly counting down to the next clone.
Su Lun took one last look at the moon. Humans didn’t know much about the moon. With the help of clones, some of the dangers of landing on the moon could be reduced.
He returned to the hive and continued to wait for new clones. There were all kinds of clones before, and each clone had its own special features.
Su Lun didn’t know what the strongest clone in this clone system was. He just hoped that this clone would be stronger.
…
A few hours later, a group of amorphous protoplasm appeared in a dark corner of the earth.
The protoplasm is like a ball of soft mud about five meters long, with a surface like tar. The whole body is charred and smelly, and the body is constantly swinging back and forth.
This mass of protoplasm constantly adapts to the surrounding environment and slowly grows eyes to observe the world.
“This clone is…”
Su Lun quickly took over this strange clone. He observed the body of his clone, and a terrifying name appeared in his mind.
[Shoggoth: Prototype]
[A strange life composed of amorphous protoplasm, which can continue to divide and reproduce, becoming anything known. 】
A series of information flashed through Su Lun’s mind, and he immediately knew the identity of his clone.
Shoggoth is a slime-like being that can continue to divide and grow. Because of the protoplasm, it can also transform into anything.
Su Lun controlled the protoplasm to slowly change according to the shape of his imagination. The protoplasm immediately gathered and turned into a human-like appearance.
However, he only looks similar now, without any organs or functions that a human body should have. In the end, he can only turn back into a pool of protoplasm.
“My clone is still the most basic Shoggoth.”
Su Lun quickly understood the shortcomings of the Shoggoths. The Shoggoths who mastered various technologies were very powerful, but the newborn Shoggoths were very weak.
It is worth mentioning that he did not lose SAN points because of seeing the body of Shoggoth. To him, Shoggoth just looked a little weird, probably because he had seen too many monsters.
Su Lun quickly determined the development path for his new avatar. The protoplasm of the Shoggoths is the most basic substance, and the protoplasm can form anything.
The most primitive life on earth is single-celled organisms, and it is protoplasm that makes up single-celled organisms.
Su Lun knew enough about biology that he knew the structure of single-celled organisms, but before turning into a single-celled organism, he needed to go to a place where single-celled organisms could survive.
He was now in a dark corner of the land, surrounded by wet dirt.
Su Lun’s sticky protoplasm spread out and began to seep under the soil.
It didn’t take long for him to pass through the soil and reach the underground water, where the protoplasm regrouped and followed the current of the underground water to the nearest river.
During the journey to the river, Su Lun controlled the protoplasm to change like a single-celled organism.
About five meters of protoplasm quickly condensed and turned into tens of millions of paramecium.
“It’s exactly as expected.”
Su Lun controlled tens of millions of Paramecia to swim in the water. Although he swam very slowly, he became a real single-celled organism, possessing all the functions that Paramecia should have, and not just a fake with only appearance.
He was washed away by the current. Although the paramecium is fragile, it is a link in the growth of the Shoggoth.
After Suellen reached a stable body of water, he began to transform into other single-celled organisms.
As long as the detailed structure is known, a shoggoth can transform into anything, and paramecium is just one of them.
Suellen began to design the shape of the Shoggoths according to his own ideas. All the paramecium transformed back into protoplasm, and then transformed into muscle cells, skin cells, etc. These cells came together to become a multicellular organism full of muscles.
A monster made entirely of muscles appears in the water. Because its whole body is made of muscles, it is very powerful and dominates the water.
Su Lun observed the surrounding waters through the eyes he designed, and various freshwater fishes swam around him.
He can turn into various cells, but there is still something missing to become a complete creature. He does not know the detailed structure of creatures. If there is a biological blueprint, he can turn into any creature.
“The best way to get the blueprint is to capture these creatures around you.”
Su Lun looked around and immediately chose a powerful target, an adult crocodile.
The crocodile is covered in thick scales and is about four to five meters in size. It looks like a Nile crocodile, one of the largest crocodiles in the world.
Su Lun rushed over immediately. He was now a muscular monster with all muscles. He swam in the water completely by ejection, and his speed was not very fast.
The crocodile was resting in the water when it saw Suellen. His reptilian brain made it impossible for him to understand a monster like Suellen, so he did not avoid it at all.
Selun climbed on the crocodile. He had no mouth or teeth, no means of attack, and no digestive system, but he was a Shoggoth.
He got into the crocodile’s mouth and began to take over the crocodile’s body.
He transformed back into a single-cell state, using the crocodile’s body as nutrients, dividing and growing while analyzing the crocodile’s body structure.
But when the Shoggoth’s cells were distributed in every part of the crocodile’s body, he could completely understand the crocodile’s body structure.
