Chapter 99: Meeting: Visero, II

The Apex Predator on Serolia.

Fangs, claws, size, and powerful muscles... It already had everything.

But that wasn’t enough for it.

The Species had also developed Crystals able to store energy.

That energy could be used by its body to restore its own, or expelled.

‘So that’s where the shooting of lightning bolts comes from... Even if lightning hits, it can store a good portion of that energy within its body and shoot it out.’

Raya explained further, and the expressions on both Liz’s and Roka’s faces darkened.

‘The energy shot out by the Plasma weapons could also be stored by its Crystals... Interesting. This would be an amazing meal for me. The trouble will be in catching it though...’ The Paru brought a hand to his chin as he zoned out, thinking about how a fight against the Apex Predator of Serolia would go.

He couldn’t manage to focus on it for too long, as something was bothering him.

The Species’ name.

‘Giganto Zilla. That’s awfully close to Godzilla, isn’t it? A coincidence, or...?’

Raya talked about more Species of Viseront that were mentioned within the Database but lacked visual holographic representations.

Roka and Liz gave out information as well, as they had battled against some of those Species.

The most notable of those and evasive, was the Apex Predator’s cousin.

Tseros.

‘The Crystals on their backs can store energy more efficiently than Giganto Zillas, but unlike those, Tseros can’t expel the energy. Instead, they use it as nourishment.’

Which had obtained the name “Tsero” first was a mystery. Nevertheless, there were Tsero, and there were Tsero Crystals.

Both were usually in the same area, but Tsero Crystals weren’t those on a Tsero’s back.

‘Tseros hang around Tsero Crystals for nourishment because...’

The use of the Tsero Crystals was finally revealed.

‘Tsero Crystals don’t just store energy, they duplicate it!’

The energy crisis, the reason why the Worka needed that became clear.

‘With something capable of duplicating the energy they produce by a dozen times... Yeah, that could work!’

A dozen times was only the median number though.

‘We’re cool... That’s exactly the type of thing male Workas would be mad about hearing, isn’t it? But yeah, it was fun. We’re cool. Hope we have more fun in the future too! Hahaha!’

A couple of seconds later, they arrived in front of Raya’s laboratory.

‘What...?’

“Yeah.” She scratched her head. “I guess someone is pretty mad at me.”

The tidy laboratory had been turned upside-down.

“Oh, what happened?” Al sneered as he peeked inside the laboratory. “Wow... You should do a better job keeping things neat. I know females are sloppy, but this is too much, don’t you think?”

‘Mm...’ The Paru scratched his chin as he watched Al’s back get further and further as the latter walked away. ‘Should I kill him?’

Raya let out a sigh before entering the laboratory.

They were still on a mission, so Al hadn’t broken too many things.

The Paru followed her into it.

“Time to have some fun, huh?” Raya asked once both were inside.

‘Now?’

The Paru felt another tingle, and Raya’s face blushed intensely.

“N-N-Not like that!” She shouted before walking across the room. “Among the things that were messed up...” Raya bent down to pick it up.

She turned towards the Paru, holding it in her hand.

Ksksks- Zap- Zap- Buzzz-

The end of a thick electric wire.

Sparks of electricity appeared every second.

‘Have some fun... With that?’

Raya smiled.

“Time for some more tests,” She stepped forward. “Alright?”

‘I...’

The sadistic smile on her face grew wider as she took another step closer.

‘I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE WERE COOL!!’
