Chapter 1853: The Strange Doctor



Dozens of cars from where Drake had expanded his slimes, a man wearing a long white lab coat, resembling a human with many robotic parts added into his body, a cyborg, dropped a dried-out body into the floor, which collapsed into dust after having all of its life drained out. After absorbing their lifeforce, his mechanical arm glowed bright purple, with several strange tubes filled with miasmic-looking liquids inside working and shaking.

"Hmph, are these really the racers we were going to go against?" he sighed, readjusting his black glasses, as his long white hair waved by the wind coming from the windows. "How disappointing... I suppose the big hitters are in other, farther cars? We've only been given the smallest fry. Well, it's good to take care of them anyways, right?"

"Yeah, papa! Hehehe!"

"Look, I ate so many!"

"Gulp... Burp..."

Three half-cactus beings were right in front of this man, having recently devoured dozens of people that weren't even participating in the race, they opened their giant bellies made of roots and vines, dropping dried out bones into the floor.

They looked more humanoid and smaller than the cactus people, and seemed to also have much more control, regeneration, and growth abilities than these cactus people.

"It looks like you're feeding well," smiled the man, walking towards his creations. "Now, I think your big sister had ended getting on another car further in the front, mostly so she could give me some recon- Huh?!"

Suddenly, the cyborg man felt a sharp pain in his own chest, as he glared into the distance, the door leading to the other cars of the train.

Out of nowhere, one of his precious creations was slaughtered... No, that wasn't even a good way to say it, she was completely burned to cinders.

"Subject Zero One has been killed?!" he wondered. "How... How could anybody ever kill my creations?! They possess the perfect combination of Alien DNA, and the perfect Esper Ability to boost their power! They can endlessly regenerate, they can consume all things- yet my biggest one died?!"

He didn't feel sad, per se, he wasn't someone that would get sad at someone else dying to begin with, but he felt frustrated, utterly angered his creation, his possession, had been destroyed.

"What happened, papa?"

"Daddy?"

"Huh? Why are you so sad!"

His three other creations gathered in front of him, all looking almost identical to their first version, test subject zero one, but with different heights and eye colors.

"Uuuggh...! Uuugh, my head hurts, dammit!"

The man grabbed his head angrily, feeling the cybernetical implants in his brain almost going overload due to the stress he felt.

However, suddenly, tubes filled with a green liquid attached to his shoulders injected this liquid inside of his veins.

Slowly, he calmed down, sighing.

"Ah, so I've lured some more, it seems."

His doppelganger, hiding as a slime beneath a seat, was waiting for this moment, while his real body held a green jewel with his claws.

"Did they come?" Benladann wondered.

"Yeah, they're on their way here," said Drake. "They're coming through the ceiling."

"Let me help then, dad!" said Benladra.

"We want to defend the train too," Kate agreed.

Just a few moments ago, the two girls had woken up from their long nap, although Miranda

and little Drakda were still sleeping like logs.

"Hm, alright, come with me," Drake nodded. "Your mother here did a lot already, so she

deserves some rest."

"Hah... B-But..." Benladann yawned. "Hm, maybe I'll take a little... shuteye."

As she slowly closed her eyes, Drake nodded, as his two daughters flew out of the window and into the train's ceiling, there, they met with a watermelon-sized blue slime.

"Let's go, they're over there!"

He pointed into the distance with a small slimy tentacle, there, three young women with

green skin, covered with spikes, and with heads decorated with huge flowers, were rapidly

making their way to them.

"Hey, are you looking for this?" Benladann provoked them, holding the green jewel.

Their sister's core.

"She did it!"

"Kill her!"

"As papa said!"
