The villainess shall be mine-Chapter 105 Growth

The black cube that I created with the Darkmatter almost covered an area of twenty meters and taller than a Minotaur.

"Kreeek!"

I didn't know if the monster was intimidated by the black cube or if it was just pissed off by my presence, but it began to attack me with everything it got.

"Kreeek"

Thousands of tentacles began to rush at me, but even though I had all of my focus on creating the black cube, it didn't mean that I couldn't avoid the tentacles.

Moreover, I could just move the cube around, and when I did, the tentacles that came in contact with it lost their heads.

"Let's finish this," I mumbled as I began to float and rose to the ceiling, and as I did, the black cube that was above me began to move upward too.

"Kreeek!"

The monster tried hard to stop the black cube, but it was inevitable, and despite the thousands of tentacles that tried to push it down, the black cube didn't stop moving upward.

What I was trying to do sounded simple when explained, but still, it drained a lot of physical and mental strength. Honestly, it was a big help that I didn't need to use my power to fly even though I could do it on my own.

However, as I moved upward, I could feel that the black cube was heavier and it moved slowly, and I knew that was because there were too many tentacles trying to push it down.

Unlike the Antimatter, the Darkmatter was a downgraded version so it took a while to disintegrate anything that came in contact with it. Still, it was easier to control as I was not strong enough to control the Antimatter.

'I am stronger than before, but for some reason, every time I used the Antimatter it goes out of control, destroying my clothes and causing a lot of unexplainable phenomena, so I deemed it too dangerous to use it," I thought as I looked up at the dark object up above me.

'I know that I am just trying to distract my mind by thinking about all of these things, but I don't want to let my imagination run wild when it comes to topics related to my parents and my planet as it may affect my mental condition. Well, at least I got results, so it was not a complete waste of time.'

"Kreeek"

The monster sounded desperate and used all of its power, but I could never lose against this monster as I have already encountered a tougher opponent.

The only thing that made this monster annoying was its size, and also, there was the ship directly under it.

"Keeeeeeek!" 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

The monster began to sound like it was screaming in pain, but I wasn't even sure if this kind of disgusting thing could even feel pain.

It was sandwiched between the black cube that contained to move upward and the ceiling which was made of very strong material, and because of that, there was nothing it could do apart from trying to prevent the cube from moving but that was not possible.

Even though I could feel that controlling the massive black cube took a toll on my body and my mind, I also more or less learned a lot of things during this battle.

'My strength increased a lot, and I am not yet at the peak of my condition, but even so, my large-scale attacks were still too limited even with the Darkmatter,' I thought, then I stopped in mid-air and raised my hand, pushing the black cube against the ceiling and crushing the monster in between.

Sprooot!

Although the black cube disintegrated most of the monster's body, there were still a lot of liquids and remains that rained down on the ground, and it was not something very pleasant to see.

"Keeeeeek"

"Blanca, make sure to not let something get out of this area. Use Cristal's ability to help you identify everything any abnormal activity and destroy such a thing immediately," I said, knowing what the desperate monster was capable of.

"Okay," Blanca said.

I continued to use my power to make sure that the monster got crushed and that its core was destroyed.

'Well, as I expected, even if it's a downgraded version, this black cube was able to deal with the red liquid inside the monster's main body,' I thought, looking at the various substances that fell from the ceiling. 'It's unavoidable that the ships would be tarnished by these disgusting things, but at least, we kept the damage to the minimum. Still, I hate this monster, and everything about it is utterly awful. If parasites like this spread around this universe, I can't even imagine the horror.'

Still, I need to make sure to not damage the ceiling because everything would be meaningless if it fell on the ship.

'Well, it seems like apart from the gigantic one, I can deal with all of the monsters that are present here, unlike a few days ago.' I concluded, looking back at the person I was just before I entered the portal. 'But I feel like it wasn't only my power that increased, and I also changed but I am not exactly sure in what way. Well, it's the result that is more important.'

Thud!

After a while, I could feel the black cube crashing into the ceiling so I stopped using my power.

"Huff…" I sighed a bit, feeling like that attack used almost half of my strength.

'Well, I can recover faster than now, and even before, my healing ability was better than everyone else. I thought that every person who had a gift could recover at that speed, but now that I think about it, it seems like it's a particular trait.... I see, I was also a little bit surprised by my mother's recovery speed before. There must some kind of connection there... Now, there's another mystery that I need to think about,' I thought.

After that, the black cube vanished, and only the remains of the monster could be seen on the ceiling around the dent in form of a square left by the cube on the ceiling.

:::[Third Person POV]:::

[There!]

Blanca looked around the room and began to search for parasites that managed to avoid being crushed by the black cube.

Such a thing was necessary because as Adam said, this should be the safest area around if they could take care of the tentacles monster.

As Blanca continued to take off these parasites, a thought crossed her mind, thinking back about what she saw while observing Adam while he took care of the body.

'I didn't expect him to be that strong,' Blanca thought. 'What was that power? It looked similar to mine but also extremely different. The more I look at him, the more I find more traits on him that make me think that he may be one of our kind. Yet, he also feels completely different.'

"These things refuse to die. If it was at least a bit beneficial to the world, it would have been a very good trait. How about a cow that could multiply itself like this?" Adam said, looking at the tentacle.

He was not particularly talking to anyone, but Blanca could hear him talking through the helmet.

'A cow? I've heard about something like that somewhere,' Blanca thought, and it felt like the tense atmosphere that was created by the presence of the tentacle monster was gone.

Still, Adam continued to amaze Blanca even though she found him a little bit weird sometimes.

'At least, he is dependable…' She thought, feeling like with his help she might find a way to deal with the problems that she couldn't solve. 'Well, I can't count on him on such a thing… But at least, I should probably ask if he has some ideas.

"Are you finished? I think like we managed to kill them all," Adam said, making sure that he didn't miss one of the parasites.

"Yes, it was the last one," Blanca replied.

For some reason, the tentacles withered and crumbled like dry tree branches. It seemed like the red liquids inside the main body were something important for the monster's survival.

"Well, let's investigate the ship's interior. There must be a few of those parasites who got inside," Adam said.

"Yeah, but how did those people end up in this situation in the first place?" Bianca asked.

"Well, one of them probably had a parasite inside of their body, but because of the monster outside, they didn't have anywhere else to run," Adam explained.

"To think this kind of monster exists. I am sure that there are worse though," Blanca said, looking like she didn't care about the people who turned into zombies even if she was curious about the reason.

"Well, the only thing that we can be certain of is that there is nothing that we can be certain of," Adam said.

"What? I get what you want to say, but the way you said it was weird," Bianca replied.
