Chapter 12: The Mutated Twisted Spider Egg! Unlocking New Monster Editing
[Mutated Twisted Spider Egg (Three-Star): From the mother of the twisted spider, a demon creature on the brink of evolving into a Morning Star, constantly eroded by vast amounts of flesh and the aura of an evil god, leading to mutation. This egg gained extraordinary potential that far exceeds the original monster. Since it remains in an unborn state, its star rating is based on its potential rather than its current strength.]**
The spider priest’s… egg!
That vicious-looking, meat-riddled, rough-spoken, hideous spider… was female?!
How could this appearance be anything but a joke?!
Lu Yu felt his worldview beginning to collapse. The shock was as intense as facing an evil god head-on.
However, remembering that female spiders are generally stronger, and that he had already killed the spider priest, he thought it unlikely that it would rise from hell again just to disgust him.
Instead, this material was quite intriguing—it was not a part of a corpse but rather an egg that had yet to be born.
And it was rated three stars. Although it was based on potential, this hinted that the egg could evolve beyond the Morning Star level.
“Is this egg considered a living creature?”
Lu Yu fell into thought. This wasn’t mere idle speculation; it represented a deeper meaning. Could living creatures be used as materials for editing?
If that were the case, it meant that all living creatures could be intentionally edited and enhanced!
Even the fear balloon could undergo secondary or tertiary editing, and its strength would continually rise to match his own, rather than being discarded once it was no longer useful.
Lu Yu was a nostalgic person. Whether in this life or the last, he never threw away something that had been used, even something as small as a pen refill. He would always find a place to keep it.
Though the fear balloon might seem silly, it was still his first created monster, and he didn’t want it abandoned in some forgotten corner, left alone and discarded.
Given his doubts, Lu Yu, of course, asked the system directly. He received the following response:
“Eggs and embryonic creatures are not fully formed, and are therefore considered materials. However, once the creature inside is fully formed and about to hatch, it can no longer be edited. As for secondary editing of monsters, your current permissions do not allow it.”
“Current permissions?” Lu Yu quickly grasped the key point in the system’s words—his permissions were insufficient for editing!
“So, if I raise my permissions, I can edit monsters?”
The system’s mechanical tone responded:
“Please increase your permissions.”
Lu Yu smiled slightly. He now had the information he needed. As long as his permissions increased, his ability to edit monsters would become even stronger.
At that moment, Xiao Qi, unaware of why its master was suddenly happy, floated over, emitting a series of “yi yi ya ya” sounds.
“Xiao Qi, your Morning Star monster’s prestige is about to be ruined…”
Lu Yu looked at the silly fear balloon and couldn’t resist reaching out to pat its head… or rather, its balloon-like body.
He had expected it to feel rough, but to his surprise, it felt as smooth as high-quality satin, soft and delicate.
From the whispers of others, he had learned that the Morning Star was a level above awakeners, and was held in very high regard.
“This fabric seems like a burial shroud from a powerful being. The ominous aura from the bloodstains… what level must that being be?”
After a while of contemplation, Lu Yu gave up on trying to guess. Regardless of the other’s power, it was a burial shroud now, and that was no longer his concern.
Lu Yu motioned for Xiao Qi to float aside and began pulling out all the materials he had gathered!
Since he had collected so many materials, as a monster editor, he certainly wouldn’t let them gather dust in a warehouse!
“System, begin editing!”
With a soft command, a gray mist appeared in the air, slowly wrapping around him and transporting him into that chaotic, unordered space once again!
Upon entering this space, Lu Yu felt as if he could weave the very laws of the world, like an omnipotent ruler!
This time, he didn’t rush into editing. Instead, he took his time to feel the immense power, though the energy within was too profound for him to grasp entirely.
It was like a baby just learning to walk, able to cheat with external help to see the answers to every math problem, yet still clueless about solving them!
After a while, Lu Yu gave up on understanding this power’s essence and waved his hand, summoning all the materials!
Among them, the evil god’s silk was the most powerful, glowing with purple fluorescence, floating at the top. Beneath it was the four-star pocket watch, quietly drifting in the mist, as if detached from the world!
The remaining materials were like stars beside the moon—insignificant and dim!
But this time, Lu Yu’s focus was entirely on that spider egg!
